Chapter 61 Xavier's Pov Certainties appeared doomed to fail from the start. The urgent desire to reconcile the schism between my brother and myself proved useless, a bridge too far to cross.When my feelings got too great to bear, I sought sanctuary in the darkness, away from inquisitive eyes. Tears that begged to flow freely were repressed behind a strong veneer, my countenance a well-crafted mask to protect the fury within. I lingered outside the chamber, barred from entering the holy space that held the thread of life for Levine, waiting for the news that seemed to take a lifetime.Elodie, a figure of seasoned wisdom and deep spirituality among our flock, finally emerged from the room. Her glance met mine, filled with wisdom and compassion. "He clings to life, despite the fact that the sands of time are shifting. Be ready for whatever fate has in store for you," her words conveyed both solace and grief.My throat clenched, and a single tear ran down my cheek, the outward embodimen
Chapter 62 Xavier's Pov I screamed, "Edward!!" As Vera's voice rang out from within the cell, my gaze shifted quickly. "He not dead yet, I should give him a more terrible death."My gaze caught hers as I turned to face her. Vera's eyes were a bright white against the murky shadow of the dungeon. An ethereal cloud seemed to express her arcane intentions above her.Her comments carried an uncomfortable weight, a declaration of power and vengeance. "Welcome Alpha Xavier of the Oak pack."My question pierced through the tension, and my words were a challenge. "What exactly do you want?"Vera's lips smirked, and her eyes twinkled with curiosity. "How do you know I'm looking for something?""Disasters can give rise to power, but chaos frequently hides a yearning for vengeance," I answered, my tone firm.Vera's gaze met mine, and there was an unsaid agreement between us. "You could have concluded I desired power.""But your power is obvious; there's no need for anything else. As a result,
Chapter 63Xavier's Pov My life had been a frenzy of travel and celebration as a free spirit, partying in several countries with a large group of friends. When I came home, it was just for a short time, and my mother never moaned because she knew I'd be gone shortly. My father, on the other hand, was always concerned about my free-spirited character, hoping that I would completely embrace my pack position.While I was technically a pack member, I never felt like one, especially when I wasn't carrying out my responsibilities. Despite my reservations, the Oak pack readily offered me the crown following my parents' sad death. They regarded me as the proper succession because I was the son of the revered Alpha, Garrison Ronan. They were my family in this way, though I couldn't help but feel unworthy of their love and commitment.My parents' deaths had changed my perspective on family, and Levine's absence during my years of seeking him was a cause of tremendous anguish.Sansa's animosity
Chapter 64Sansa's Pov He was a ruthless, self-centered Alpha, a true psychopath who only cared about himself. He had no qualms about inflicting harm on others for his own gain, entirely unconcerned about the anguish he inflicted. That wasn't his issue; he did anything he wanted without hesitation.My life had devolved into a living nightmare. Each passing second brought with it apprehension, as I wondered what terrible move Xavier would make next, and how close he would pull me toward him the next time. The thought sent shivers down my spine, and I knew I had to put a stop to it before things got worse.I might have left Logan to save his life, but I was still loyal to him, and I needed to save myself from Xavier to do justice to Logan.As I moved away from Xavier, who had just shown his dark, diabolical side, my soul was shocked to its core. The morning was rising, the forest was alive with the lovely symphony of birds, and the sky was brightly colored. Nonetheless, my future appear
Chapter 65Sansa's pov When I watched Adam standing fearlessly in front of the wild creature while its blood-curdling cry rang through the deep jungle, I couldn't believe my eyes. His determined gaze was unwavering as he swung the sword, inflicting the beast great anguish.Adam altered positions quickly, fooling the thing, and rapidly thrust his sword into its neck, delivering a killing blow. As its gigantic form slumped like a fallen tower, the creature's anguished moans faded. Without pausing, Adam wiped the blood from his sword with a little towel from his pocket before tossing it aside.He rushed over to me, his hand outstretched in concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern."Still breathing," I said, shakily grasping his hand in mine to hoist myself up."Did it cause any harm to you?" he queried, his gaze scouring my body for any signs of injury."In survival, anything can happen," I skirted his inquiry, attempting to minimize the little pain to my elbow fr
Chapter 66 Sansa's Pov "Come over to me!""I'm calling you!""Sansa!" Vera's chilling whispers rang out in my ear again and again.I found myself in the bush, alongside Xavier's lifeless body, the horrific image before me a gruesome reality. I stabbed him twice with the silver knife, covered in blood, while Vera's whispers continued to play games in my mind.My face was adorned with a nasty grin, as avarice and perverted enjoyment drove my deeds. As I repeatedly pierced Xavier's motionless corpse with the knife, I savored the sight of blood and rejoiced in the terrible ritual.The crows shrieked overhead, but my gaze was pulled to a majestic owl perched on a nearby tree, its watchful stare fixed on me. The dread of the jungle had lost its hold on me at that point. I felt unstoppable, powerful, and strangely connected to the darkness around me.Xavier's hand suddenly gripped my wrist, and his once-lifeless eyes opened. Blood poured from his shattered face, and his chillingly creepy vo
Chapter 67 Sansa's pov Bella's laughter boomed down the corridor, surprising me. As she stood up, a dazzling smile spread across her face as she turned to face me."Have you ever shed tears of pure joy?" she inquired, her enthusiasm apparent.I was caught aback by her abrupt change of manner, and as she approached me, her joy contrasted with her recent anguish, I could only shake my head."I've always wondered what it would be like to cry happy tears. I finally know today," she continued, her smile unwavering."Isn't that a little much? Shouldn't you, even if you loathed your husband, at least wait until the burial is over?" I spoke with caution."What do you think you know? Nothing!" Her rage erupted, and I immediately regretted unwittingly causing her grief."I wasn't his wife; I was merely a toy he used to break me, inflict pain on me, and subject me to everything that could harm me. I wasn't Beta's wife; I was just an obedient puppet who did whatever he wanted. Every waking momen
Chapter 68Sansa's Pov In the midst of the burial, I struggled with the agony of progressively discovering my true identity and the bizarre half-werewolf symptoms that had plagued me. Questions lingered like haunting shadows. Why had my father and grandfather kept my half-werewolf blood hidden from me? Why had I remained unknown to my people for so long? Was it to keep me from joining a pack and becoming a human, or was there a deeper, darker motive, possibly including Xavier?Xavier's voice broke through my thoughts, apologizing for his inability to save them. "I'm sorry I couldn't save them. I am deeply sorry for your loss." His remarks reminded me of the Oak Pack's funeral gathering, which I had no idea existed until now. My curiosity was piqued as I realized there were many buried secrets yet to be discovered.In the midst of the solemn atmosphere, butterflies fluttered around and birds perched silently on the trees, adding to the gravity of the occasion.Surprisingly, there were
