Xade’s pov
I try to slow down my footsteps as I hurry to the room V shared with Melissa. I didn’t want anyone to notice how weirdly quick I was on my feet, so I tried my best to make it seem more natural, more human.
I gripped her phone in my hold, smirking happily. She forgot it in the car but I am beaming with contentment knowing I get to catch a glimpse of her face once more…and maybe get a sweet kiss from her lips again too.
Sfore the stares from the other girls I pass by. They m

too.
“So you’re saying it had been an accident? That you somehow had your best friend slip inside you instead of your boyfriend?” Melissa’s voice is cold and sharp, making me stop in my tracks. Who’s she speaking to? Avery?
Anger boiled in me and my fists clench. If she thinks I’ll have her speak to my girl like that she’ll have another thing coming. I am about to storm over to them and tell Melissa to f*ck off when I heard V’s small voice respond.
“I-yes.”
My heart stops working. Or did it shatter? I don’t know, I can’t feel it
anymore.
Melissa snorted.” So it’s a mistake? Nothing but a mistake?”
“Say what you and Xade had was a mistake” Melissa taunted.
seeming to enjoy Avery’s response which was twisting a blade in my heart unknowingly. They were loud, but not loud enough for a human to hear where I stood
Why does it suck now that I have supernatural hearing? Right now, I. wish I hadn’t
“Melissa-
“Say it! Say it Avery!” Melissa screeched.
“It was a mistake okay!” Avery yelled.” What we had done was a mistake!”
F*ck B*oody f*ck.
I stumble back. Is this how it feels to get your heart ripped right out o your chest and have someone stomp on it mercilessly?
I wait for a second or two, just to see if she’ll take it back. But she doesn’t and I can no longer hold back the pain I felt. I needed to leave. Now My wolf kicked at the cages I had placed him in, wanting out as pain ripped through the both of us.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
I turn on my heel, rushing back. Her phone was still in my hand and with the way I clenched it, I am scared I’d crush it with my brutal grip. A girl who I have seen around but don’t know her name looked at me with wide surprised eyes as I bound over to her.
“Here, give this to Avery,” I instructed her, not waiting for a reply as I stormed away. My breathing was hasty because of my fight to hold back my wolf, but also because of the pain those words had inflicted. me with.
As soon as I burst through the doors and the air hit me, I rush to my car got in and skid away. I needed to find somewhere safe to shift.
Somewhere prying eyes won’t see me I growled under my breath, my claws piercing through the steering wheel and it groaned under the weight of my grip
F*ck
Man can you get me one of this human’s shitty as* beers when you get back?’ Xaden’s voice pushed into my head.
I gritted my teeth, feeling my canines push out of my gums. I needed to get out before I shift in the car.
‘No. I’m going for a run,’ I snapped, looking around for an escape. F*cking hell, I still need to drive more. The animal within me roared and clawed for a release and I pushed my foot on the gas pedal, the car roaring as I sped down the road that led out of the city and into the forest
You sound like you’re in pain. What the f*ck happened?’ Xaden rushed out.

I skidded to a stop, barely taking the time to turn off the engine before flinging myself out of the car. My beast clawed, my nails push through I growled, setting off for the woods.
Once I was deep enough that I couldn’t see the road anymore, I let my beast free. The shift was an instant blur of pain and relief as my human

My senses exploded with being in my other form. The scent of pine and earth was stronger than it had been before. The rustle of small animals, the cool breeze against my fur, everything was clearer in my wolf form.

He wanted his mate. to mate her. And I too. But the risk was too great and he knew so. He knew the only way was to sacrifice himself for her. and that he’ll do in a heartbeat.
