"She's just shocked right now, she didn't mean it," he kissed my head many times, whispering that my mom loves me.
I clutch his shirt, needing that comforting feeling he always seems to invoke insidewhen he is near. He holdstight until I have calmed down a bit. "We should go, give her sspace to think," he suggested, kissing my nose when I pulled away.
I nod and Xade takes my hand in his and leadsoutside to the vehicle. Before entering I turned back once more to stare at the house I had grown up and my gaze drop to the ground saddened.
She hadn't meant to hurt you,” Xade murmurs, squeezing my hand and staring atwith a calm loving gaze.

This proves it." I frowned, reaching up to cup his jaw. The slap was hard but there's no red imprint that showed she struck him. One thing I have learned about the wolves is that they heal quickly, more than humans do.
"I'm sorry," I apologize, rubbing where she had brutalized.
Xade smile. "It's not so bad. I'd take a thousand slaps from your mother if it means you'll always be mine," I raised a brow and pointed out. " I am already yours forever," He chuckles, kissingsoftly. His lips had just brushed against mine when he suddenly freezes and pulls away. I frowned, noticing the foggy gleam in his eyes. "What's happening?" I asked urgently.
His jaw tensed. "We need to get back now," My heart races as my mind runs once more.
What's going on?" I asked urgently His eyes were still a bit foggy as he replied more stiffly." There's something happening at the house that I need to be there for." He didn't need to say it twice, I quickly hurry into the vehicle and in seconds we were off.
As we approached the house I could see many others already out. They were in a circle as if surrounding something or someone. Among them was Xaden who looks frustrated. There was also a familiar face. That man named Henry.
Though his face looks beat up, he stood beside Xaden, speaking about something." He survived," I breathe out in relief, remembering that he had cto help back then and had stayed back to make us get away.
"He did," Xade grumble under his breath. "But he has also brought trouble amongst us." I frowned, looking over him." What do you mean?" "He has brought a hunter here," Xade grunted, looking as irritated as ever.
Xade parks the vehicle and we got out swiftly and made our way over to the commotion. Xade hasclose by his side, holdingas if afraid I'd get kidnapped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe small crowd parted as we approached and we stopped beside Xaden and Henry. A man bound by his hands and gagged is in the center. He looks like he was dragged through hell and back. The hunter.
Xade's jaw tensed as he stepped forward and look over at Henry im frustration Why did you bring him here? Should have killed him off," he gritted, almost snarling. Henry smirked. "Not even a thank you for saving my life pup? Straight to questioning, I see." Xade shot him death stares. " You brought a hunter into our territory without asking."
Henry had a long gash above his eyebrow and it bled into his eye. I winced, hating the sight of so much blood. He approaches the bound man who cringed back as if trying to escape his fate. I yelp low when Henry suddenly tears off his shirt collar and reveals a tattoo printed on his collarbone. "Because of this," he pressed his thumb to the tattoo, harsher than need to be because the hunter grunts in pain.
Xade arches a brow. "A tattoo? What is it supposed to mean?"
Your father is very familiar with this tattoo little pup," Henry pushes the hunter back in disgust and¶ets him veix fall hard on his ass. Henry's eyes dart around and shift between Xaden and Xade in triumph. "I think I just found out who that doctor works for."
