Semua Bab Fated to My Ex's Brother-In-Law: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Zoe's POVAfter Luca told us everything, including how he had been spying on the military facility to the north, he pulled out his laptop and the flash drive he had been given."This thing has helped me remember myself. It’s not all back, but at least I know who I am," Luca said, clicking on a folder that was locked. He typed in the password, and Xavier raised an eyebrow.“How did you know that?” Xavier asked.“Neil added a file with all the passwords and decryption codes,” Luca explained. He turned the laptop to Xavier. “All yours, Alpha.”I leaned in, watching as Xavier scrolled through the folders. Names like Project Winter, Project Obsidian, and Project Twilight filled the screen. Then, his eyes stopped on a folder. He froze.“Do you know this one?” I asked, pointing at the folder titled Project Blackwater.Xavier took a deep breath before answering, “Claire worked on this project during the five years she was gone.”Hearing Claire’s name made my stomach twist. I furrowed my brows

Zoe's POVXavier and I rode public transport to get as close as we could without getting spotted. We had memorized the route we needed to take to reach his cabin deep in the woods. It was one of the places that didn’t have any underground tunnels leading to it, which made it harder for anyone to track us.We had used the map of Blood Crescent’s underground tunnels to get as far as possible into the pack’s territory without drawing attention. These were the same tunnels Luca’s handler had once used to smuggle him in for his first mission.As soon as we resurfaced, Jacob was already there, waiting with a car. Xavier had sent him an encrypted message through the secure line they’d been using to stay in touch while he was away. During those months, Xavier had kept Jacob updated about his brother and his long-awaited return, while Jacob had filled him in on Claire and everything else happening in the pack. Apparently, Xavier’s father had kept a low profile, but they both knew he’d been sch

Xavier's POVLady Shaw knew her son just as well as I knew my father.When I saw Elder Shaw standing there, hands in his pockets, as if this was just some casual midday visit instead of a random, middle-of-the-night intrusion, I knew he was up to something. He looked calm, composed—and completely out of place. But that was just like him. He didn’t care how he looked. He was here with a purpose.“Mother, step aside. Let’s have some late-night tea,” he said, his voice full of the authority he liked to pretend he still had—authority he didn’t hold over Lady Shaw, who, unlike him, had actually earned respect in the pack. She was still the acting Alpha in his absence, no matter what he thought.“It’s late, son,” she replied with a frown. “Either say what you came to say or leave.”“You don’t look like you just got out of bed to open the door, Mother,” he smirked.“Neither do you,” Lady Shaw retorted smoothly.“Well, I never said I was in bed.”“Neither did I.”“In that case, you wouldn’t m

Zoe's POVI wasn’t expecting anyone when I walked into the cabin, so seeing Jacob standing there in the middle of the room gave me a serious jolt.“You gave me a heart attack!” I gasped, pressing a hand to my chest.Jacob raised a brow, amused. “You almost cost me my life.”“How?” I blinked, still catching my breath. “I’m not the one sneaking around someone’s hideout like it’s your personal Airbnb.”“Right, because you just take casual strolls through the woods while running from some of the most powerful and connected people in the country,” he shot back dryly. “Do you have any idea what Alpha would do to me if I told him I lost you on the first day?”I laughed and walked over to the sink, splashing some water on my face to cool down. “Don’t overreact.”“I’m not overreacting,” he muttered, folding his arms.“Uh-huh.”“Wow.”“Wow, what?”“Nothing.”“Jacob…” I narrowed my eyes.“It’s just…” He hesitated, looking at me like he was seeing something I wasn’t. “I’m surprised you don’t reali

Zoe's POVI woke up to knocking on the door. I looked around, I was still in Xavier's cabin. I grew worried. Xavier had been explicit about knocking. Both he and Jacob had keys to the cabin which meant, it wasn't them and thus shouldn't be trusted.I quickly slipped on Xavier's shirt and called on Dahlia to help if it came to that. 'I'm right here, though it would've been better if you could hand me control willingly, rather than me having to take it from you every time things get too much for you.' Dahlia yawned. She had been resting as well.I rolled my eyes, "Yes, how simple it is, isn't it?"'You don't even try,' Dahlia retorted."I am not having this conversation with you when there is possibly a hostile intruder here," I replied and got ready to defend Xavier's cabin.The door unlocked and swung open slowly. My heart was in my throat as I raised the frying pan in my hand to attack the intruder, when I got still in shock."Zoe, what are you doing?" Xavier walked in, dressed impe
