All Chapters of Mated for Revenge: Chapter 41 - Chapter 49

Xavier led Diana into his room and closed the door shut.His eyes took in Diana's shivering form and his strong demeanor diminished like a pierced balloon.His wolf prowled in his chest, willing him to console their mate.Xavier engulfed Diana in a comforting hug.Diana rolled her eyes when Xavier hugged her.Obviously he would be so worried stiff about her she scoffed, her eyes pulled down in a bored expression.When Xavier pulled Diana back to stare at her face, the scared shivering look was back on her.Xavier's face was pulled into a tight frown as he took in Diana's shaken and terrified self.If only he had been there when the bastard driver had tried to kidnap his mate he could have torn him to bits and left his remains for the bats and rogues to feed on.He moved in to hug Diana again but she shifted away."It wasn't ordinary Xavier," she sniffed."The person who wanted me dead, it wasn't a coincidence. It was planned, Xavier! I'm telling you." She dissolved into tears.Xavier

Xavier had just got down from the treadmill when his fiancee, Cara walked into the room.Xavier sighed, his mood falling when he saw her tear stained face.He definitely was not ready for her problems this morning.Last night with Diana had drained him too much and he still wondered what could have been troubling her. He was so tired, and he didn't need another woman to wear him out.Cara had the attitude of always crying and nagging whenever she needed something and most times he would have to do it cause he could not afford to see a woman cry without doing anything about it. Above all her nagging was enough to make any one crazy."Xavier. I'm just here to ask a simple question and I want an honest reply" Cara cried, sniffing as she looked up at Xavier with sad eyes."Cara please not this morning. Please, we can talk about this some other day but not today." Xavier begged, rubbing on his forehead to relieve the tension."No, let's talk this morning and I'll never bother you again."

Xavier was settled on the bed with his head buried between his palms, shoulders trembling violently. He shouldn't have let her go; he knew it. But his pride didn't allow him to beg anymore.How was he going to live with the thoughts of Diana out there? Alone. Prone to danger and available for other guys to go after her.He hated the thought and so did his wolf which had been whining at him.Xavier was still moping around in self-pity when a loud blood curdling scream invaded his ears.He pulled his hands over his ears till everywhere was silent again."Diana, mate!" Those were the only words that settled in his mind and his blood ran cold.Xavier's wolf, Storm prowled at Xavier's chest, restless and urging Xavier who had gone stiff, to do something.She's in danger. Storm growled inside of him, the wolf troubled for their mate.His thoughts were frantic as he shuffled around the room.What was he going to do?Scent. Storm screamed inside of him again, helping a panicky Xavier out of

Xavier staggered away from the chair.His mind was a jumbled mess as questions invaded his mind.Why would his father be so heartless to do something like that?He seemed like a fool now after knowing everyone he lived with had secrets he never expected them to have.The sound of Diana coughing awake made Xavier turn his head sharply before racing to her side.He hugged her weak form, crying into neck.He now understood what was going on with her.All the questions she had asked earlier that day now made sense to him.Her blacking out after seeing his father again for the first time after a long while.It was probably the shock that had made her faint.He couldn't imagine what she had to go through seeing his father everyday.The man who had murdered her parents in cold blood.She was just a little girl back then and he wondered how she survived.Her sneaking to his mother's room every night still baffled him but he knew it had something to do with it."Did my mother know?" Xavier ask

Diana stands in front of a cell five years later talking to Rain Herd who was behind bars.He looked so weak and frail after spending just three years in jail.His gray hairs had multiplied and his beards were unshaved giving him a lunatic look.He stared at Diana for a long time before lowering his head in grief.He was ashamed of his actions now that he had nothing to do but sit around and mop all day.He knew he was not going to survive for long in the dungeons they held him in and it saddened him to know he'll never have the chance to make up for his mistake.After the night of the confession, Xavier had wasted no time in asking the men to drag him out and also call in the police.Although he knew even if his son hadn't called the cops the maids would have gossiped to the people and words would have gotten to the cops anyway.His son had just made it faster and quicker.He had begged. Promised to make up for his crimes but his son's heat was too hardened to be reasoned with.That'
