All Chapters of Alpha Xavier's Relentless persuit of his Mate: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

>They did not stop until Xavier managed to use a backroad to get into the Silver Moon territory without getting recognized. They reached the house around dawn.They hadn't spoken another word to each other after the rogue attack. Zoe didn't sleep. Xavier parked the car in front of Zoe's old home beside the woods but neither attempted to get out of the car. Xavier was waiting for Zoe. He wanted to call ahead to let the housekeeper, Aunt Julie know that Zoe would be paying a visit but everything had happened so fast he had forgotten.Zoe stared at the house. That place held so many memories. Everything seemed so far away now. She felt like she was seeing the place after a century and not just a few months. Despite her heightened senses, everything seemed to have lost its color. Everything seemed dull and dead. There were no flowers in the flowerbeds. The driveway had neither been used nor cleaned in a while. There were vines growing on the roof and hanging here and there.

> Tired and frustrated, Zoe returned home after a few hours. She had lost her shoes while running and trying to shift for hours. She was relieved that no one went this way and the house was one of the last ones on the territory edge. She stood at the front door and hesitated to knock. She could hear something boiling on the old stove. But Aunt Julie and Xavier were silent. He couldn't have gone since their broken car was still there. She took a deep breath, she didn't want to keep standing on the doorstep with the Sun on top of her. The aroma of whatever was being cooked wafted from an open window and made her realize that she hadn't eaten in a while now. The last meal she had was a quick salad lunch with her colleagues at work the day before yesterday. Aunt Julie opened the door, the moment her knuckles hit the wood. She didn't smother her or ask any questions, but Zoe noticed that she had cried and was looking at Zoe the same way when her Dad had been arre

[WARNING: This chapter contains details of gore and death. Proceed with caution.]>That night Zoe slept in her old bed. Apparently, no one had known about their departure from Golden Ecplise or their arrival at the Silver Moon.Xavier chose to stay and Aunt Julie asked him to stay in Joe Simmons room but he refused knowing that when Zoe found out, she would be furious. She blamed Xavier for her father's death, and truthfully, so did he.Aunt Julie wanted to ask about Xavier about his pack but he had been so quiet that she decided otherwise.Zoe sat on her bed looking at the contents of the wooden box. She stared at the pictures. This time with more attention to detail than she had earlier in the day. She read the notes behind each. Some were normal comments about the picture while some were in the same language as the bundle of paper and needed to be decipered. It was just all too much information to be digested at once. The only good thing that came out of opening that

>"Weren't you informed not to call? The lines can be intercepted!" I whisper-yelled into the phone as soon as I was sure neither Aunt Julie nor Zoe could overhear."This one's fine, Sir. I made sure. And this is urgent." Jacob spoke in a hushed tone like he was afraid."Well?" I said expectantly, urging Jacob to resume."We were found. Some of our men work for your father and call him Alpha. I don't know how they found out." Jacob informed."Did they take Claire?" I asked expecting the worst."No. They tripped off an alarm I had planted around the area and I got a fifteen-minute headstart. I drugged Claire and took her before they could get us. They knew about the underground room." He told."Where are you now?""At the Shaw Safehouse. I cleaned up any evidence of the underground room being in use before we left. They won't know Claire was there." Jacob reassured me and then said, "But the bad news is, the cleanup team at Golden Eclipse didn't do as great of a job.""W

>Zoe ran to her room and gathered the contents of the box. She got her old laptop and searched up the location. She rushed back down and went outside to the broken car.Xavier and Aunt Julie followed her as Zoe opened the backseat door."You can't go in that. I doubt it's even going to start." Xavier commented."It better. The coordinates are a two-day drive away." Zoe replied without looking at him. Then, she suddenly turned to him, "Key?" She brought her hand forward expectantly."Zoe," He started but she was getting impatient, "Key, now."He sighed, fetched the key from his pants pocket, and placed it on her open palm. She grabbed it and turned without a thank you. Aunt Julie tried to protest, "You can't let her go alone,""I'm not. Don't worry, " he said and waited for Zoe to try starting the car. He crossed his arms and waited as she turned the key in the ignition, but the car didn't start. Zoe stubbornly tried to keep trying instead of admitting that he was right. T
