Chapter 221

We spent the whole day driving. The road stretched on endlessly, and we only stopped for dinner when it was too late to keep going. Both of us were supernatural, but we could still get tired.Xavier pulled into a small diner and gently woke me up. I'd dozed off most of the way. We freshened up, had a quiet dinner, and then decided to take a walk.By now, I was wide awake. My mind was racing, too much was going on in there. Xavier knew I usually cleared my head by running in the woods, but this tiny town didn’t have the same effect. Still, anything was better than staying in bed alone all night.We walked in silence for a while until we came to a closed amusement park."I remember going to amusement parks at Silver Moon with my dad and Aunt Julie," I said, stopping in front of the locked gates.Xavier paused beside me. "I never got to go to any parks.""Never?" I asked, surprised. You’d think someone from an Alpha bloodline would have everything they wanted, but I guess I was wrong.Xa

Chapter 222

"I remember stargazing with my mother," Xavier’s voice was soft, careful not to break the delicate moment we had stolen from the mess of our life."You remember your mother? Lucky you," I replied."She was kind. Kinder than most people I've met. She was like that cool breeze on a hot summer day that makes you feel like everything would be okay," Xavier reminisced.He hadn’t talked about her in a long time, but being up here, so high above the rest of the world, he felt like he could tell me anything and be understood. He had a lot to say that he had been keeping inside for too long."You miss her," I added."Since her death, Father became a much harsher man. Once the only source of empathy and kindness was gone from my life, he made sure I never talked about her. Even to myself," Xavier confessed, his gaze still fixed on the sky.Without thinking, my hand found Xavier’s. In that moment, it felt right.He looked at me, surprised at the initiative I had taken. I looked at his eyes, "You

Chapter 223

The next morning, I felt rejuvenated. My problems were still there, but something had changed. It was unexpected, but it felt welcome.Xavier woke up with a smile on his face for the first time in a long while. Most of his problems were still there, but there was one issue that had been weighing on his heart the most, and it was resolved last night. He understood that we still had a long way to go, and things might take a while before going the way he wanted them to, but he was glad for the great start.We had a light breakfast, and I took the steering wheel, deciding not to comment on his driving the previous day or what had happened between us the night before.Halfway through, I turned on the radio, surprising Xavier even more. By the time we crossed the Silver Moon border, Xavier and I were singing along to the songs, like we were returning from the best trip of our lives. Werewolves need a special kind of alcohol to get drunk because of their higher metabolism, but neither of us

Chapter 224

[This chapter contains mentions of gore, torture, and loss of body parts. Reader discretion is advised.]I didn’t know what to believe anymore. Was Aunt Julie really dead? Was it really John standing in front of me, claiming to have killed her? I had so many questions. How was he even here? Why wasn’t he paying for his crimes in some dark dungeon?Xavier was ready to pounce on John at any moment. “Give me one good reason not to tear you to shreds right here, right now!”Anyone looking at Xavier would have fainted in fear. But John just stood there, head held high, hands in his pockets, acting like he wasn’t facing an Alpha with a wolf twice his size.“How about I give you three?” John smirked, lazily leaning against the kitchen island. “First, if you kill me now, you’ll be declared a murderer and wanted for werewolfcide on foreign territory by none other than your own father. Papa Shaw is very upset, Xavier.”Xavier knew better than anyone what a cruel man his father was, but was he r

Chapter 225

It took a while for Dahlia to let go of me. When she finally did, my eyes closed.When I opened my eyes again, Xavier was there, looking at me with concern. He told me, “I found you lying in the street, with John’s mangled body next to his vehicle. It was parked across the street, we didn’t even notice it when we arrived earlier.”He cleaned himself up first and borrowed a suit from Joe Simmons' wardrobe. Then, he cleaned me up with a wet towel, before picking out a sky-blue mid-length dress with white cotton flowers from my closet. He dressed me carefully, making sure I was as comfortable as possible.While I was still unconscious, Xavier dragged all the rogue bodies into the woods. He fixed the living room as best as he could and then went to the woods to make a pyre for Aunt Julie. She had been such an important part of my life, and she deserved to be honored the traditional way. She was an honorable werewolf who had died protecting her loved ones.Once the pyre was ready, Xavier

Chapter 226

I had no idea what was going on, but I trusted Xavier. He trusted me and Dahlia, so he pressed the gas and didn’t stop until we were near the Silver Moon borders. We exchanged confused glances as we stopped behind a long line of cars.“What’s going on?” Xavier muttered, craning his neck out the window to see what was happening at the border.“What do you see? Who’s doing what?” I asked, feeling worried. Dahlia was still agitated, pushing us to leave Silver Moon territory as quickly as possible.Xavier leaned back in his seat. “I don’t know, but I’ll go check it out.” He got out of the car and walked up to the car ahead of us. He bent down to the driver’s window and asked, “Hi, do you know what’s going on here? When did Silver Moon tighten their border security?” After all, we had entered yesterday without anyone stopping us.“The Alpha gave the order early this morning,” the driver explained. “Every person and vehicle that passes through the border gates is being checked and recorded

Chapter 227

Spike handed control back to Xavier, who shifted back into his human form, standing there completely naked.At first, I tried to look away. I figured it was just a mistake, a result of how stressed and rushed we were. But then, Xavier tilted his head, clearly noticing my reaction. He walked toward me, confident and unbothered by his nudity, or the dirt and leaves sticking to his bare feet.Instead of going to the back of the car to get dressed, he stood right in front of me until I looked him in the eyes."I see clothes aren’t an option right now," I said sarcastically, trying to hide how flustered I felt.Xavier leaned in closer, his voice low and teasing, "Nothing you haven’t seen before."I didn’t want to let him know how much he was affecting me. "In case you’ve forgotten, we’re still on the run. We need to cross that border," I reminded him, focusing on keeping my self-control and not letting my eyes wander. The kiss we shared didn’t mean I was ready for the next step, though I c

Chapter 228

I stood there, stunned, as the mouth of the cave closed up like a mountain. It was like there had never been an opening at all.Xavier seemed just as surprised as I was, even though he had known what to expect. He hadn’t seen the artifact in action before, so he was impressed that it worked perfectly."Where did Maisie get that?" I asked, still staring at the magic that had just happened."She didn’t get it. She made it," Xavier said, turning away.He quickly erased as many car tracks as he could, covering those he couldn’t, before walking back to me."We shouldn’t waste any more time. I’ll shift and you hold on tight, alright?" he said. He seemed too alert and in a hurry to make a joke about it."Alright," I replied. Then, I asked, cautiously, "Xavier, is everything okay?""I’m not sure yet," he said, looking around. "Whatever it is, it’s too far for now." He turned to me seriously. "Let’s not wait for it to reach us."Before I could ask anything else, Xavier dropped to his knees. In

Chapter 229

Zoe's POVWe started walking in the direction opposite Silver Moon."Oh, come on!" Xavier yelled behind another van that did not stop for us, making me smile."Maybe they are intimidated by you," I said, trying to hide how amused I was at his behavior. The great Alpha Shaw getting frustrated because a vehicle didn't stop for him."If it's so funny to you, why don't you try it?" He frowned. I guess I wasn't as great at hiding my amusement as I thought I was. Or maybe I didn't really want to."Sure," I took the challenge, "Stay out of sight if you can," I said while making him walk near the ditch on the side of the road, as I sinched up the waist of my dress tighter and pushed up my breasts to show some cleavage."What are you doing?" Xavier asked, sounding jealous and protective."Using what Moon Goddess gave me," I smirked. I had been waiting for the opportunity to get back at him for walking around naked in front of me. Of course, I wasn't going to take off my dress, but this was the

Chapter 230

Zoe's POVIt took me a few minutes until a vine design caught my eye. It expressed my twisted life and my state of mind perfectly."This one, on the shaved side of my head," I told Judy.She took a look at the table, "This one will take five hours, at least. Possibly more." She looked at me, "Have you ever had a tattoo before?" I shook my head."I'd recommend a small quote on a wrist to see if you can handle it for the first time, instead of going straight to the scalp. It's a sensitive area." Judy advised."I can handle. Pain is a kind of a bestie now." I couldn't tell her that being with Dahlia had heightened my pain tolerance and once you break all bones of your body to turn into a werewolf-Lycan hybrid, nothing else can hurt as much."One last question," Judy placed her hands on her hips sassily, "With everything you just told me that you've lost. How will you pay for the tattoo? As sorry as I feel for you, this ain't no charity here, sweetheart.""We'll pay through this," Xavier
