Xade’s pov
“What the fuck have you done!?” Xaden growled, hands gripping my shirt and pushing me against the wall, hard. I winced, bones aching.
I coughed, gripping his hand and moved it away while glaring at him. “We both know I lied when I said I had it under control!” I winced, my muscles aching.
By placed to sit.
Xaden looks at me in disappointment. “I didn’t think you’d doom yourself so soon. All you had to do was not reconnect the bond. You did by kissing her and doing God knows what.”
I groaned, moving away from the wall and glared at Henry who’s leaning against the kitchen countertop, looking at me and my brother in amusement.
“I hadn’t gone too far. Henry should know since he disturbed us. I’m sure he filled you in on everything.”
I didn’t make it far and fall to the couch, startling Kaylee who had been sitting there quietly observing. She doesn’t talk much.
But when she sees that I have fallen, she stands to her feet and tries to help me. I admit I am very surprised. “Are you okay?” She asked gently, peering at the blood I know that trailed down my nose.
“Henry didn’t have to tell me anything, you smell of her stronger than you ever had in this past week!” Xaden growled, marching over. “You were down for three days, what the fuck do you think will happen now that you’ve restarted the bond?”
“I don’t know!” I snarled. “Fuck! This isn’t easy for me too brother! I told her I’d burn the world for her, and I won’t be there long enough to protect her-
He gripped my color once more, dragging me up to my feet. “You bastard! You selfish bastard!”
Tears filled his eyes and he looked at Henry. “Tell me there is a way to save my brother. Please,” he croaked to Henry. “I can’t lose my little brother.”
Henry shrugged. “All he has to do now is mark her and his wolf will become stronger.”
“Not at the risk of her life,” I ground out.
Henry nod, putting the cashew nut he had pinched between his fingers back in the bowl. ” Yes, since she’s human there’s a high risk that her body won’t accept the mark of a beast.”
“Is there another way?” Xaden’s voice soften with a plea, letting me go so I could collapse back on the couch. “This can’t be the end.”
“Unless you force him to mark her, I’m afraid it is,” Henry admitted, his voice deep with sorrow.
Xaden glanced at me, his eyes red and teary. I ripped my eyes away because I could not face what I had done to him. I cannot.
“Goddamn you Xade.” He hissed, “Fucking goddamn you.”
I lowered my head. I don’t want to hurt my brother, I don’t want him to feel this way. But I also don’t want to hurt Avery. I couldn’t risk her.
“Help me to my room,” I told him, trying to stand up.
With a gruff’ curse under his tongue, he helps me despite him being angry with me at the moment. My arms slung over his shoulder, my weight not nothing to him as he guided me through the hallway to my room.
“I never wanted this,” I whispered, just us two in the hall. Just us brothers.
“I didn’t want it to end this way,” my voice is soft and barely audible.
His grip tightened. ” Why didn’t you think of the consequences? Why did you do it?” He place me on the bed, handing me the tissue. His eyes swim with sorrow and pain, emotions that I wished I never inflicted on him.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I- I winced as a sharp pain tingle through my body, making me gasp and grip the sheets. Fuck. I can feel my wolf dying this time, fighting to keep going. We need our mate. We need her.
“I love her,” I whispered truthfully, my eyes filling with tears as I look up at him. “I couldn’t help it,” I admit, the tear rolling down my cheeks. “I love her so much Xaden it hurts.”
“Fuck!” Xaden growled, frustration on his face as he ran a hand through his hair. “Love shouldn’t hurt like this. Love shouldn’t be a death sentence.”
Fatigue took over my body and my eyes began to droop, however, the last memory of us, her swims in my mind and I smile. “I’d burn the world for her with me in it. I’d do anything for her. Anything to make sure her heart will still beat.”
