Chapter 114
Avery’s pov
That memory washed over me like a wave, feeling like it had been just yesterday we had vowed those words to each other. With a lump in my throat I ignored Xaden’s protest to not go in there yet.
Sprinting down the hall until I got to his door, I stopped and faced it. The sounds are more gut wrenching here, louder, more painful. My stomach twist and I swallowed the urge to vomit.
My heart raced, now filled with fear as the reality I had known had just been swept from under my feet and I am facing a new one where I did not know what to expect from behind that door.
“Avery you shouldn’t go in there yet,” I don’t know how Xaden got to stand beside me so quick but he was. I glanced at him and glared. “I want to see him. I don’t care if he’s a beast or whatever.”
Xaden’s eyes soften and his jaw clench as he look at the door. “He’s not in his werewolf form but the sight may still scare you…” he trailed off and then sighed. “There’s a lot of blood-
My heart hurts and my legs grow weak under me. I push the door open before I could even get a hold of my self and as Xaden had warned, the sight before me was terrible.
Xade lay on the bed, his hands fisting the bloody sheets under him as he writhed in pain, eyes shut tightly. His skin had lost its vibrant color and the sweat that beaded his skin soaked every inch of him. Blood curled from his lips and nose and as he thrashed in pain, it dripped even more.
I couldn’t bear the sight.
“Xade,” I cried out in a desperate whisper that swirled with both fear and disbelief that the boy who was always so strong was now reduced to this. I stepped into the room, my heart pounding.
The groans of pain stopped and his brows draw together in a furrow at the sound of my voice. Then his eyes peeled open, slowly. “V?” His voice is raspy and filled with pain, weak.
My lower lip wobble. This isn’t my Xade. This shouldn’t be him right now suffering in this bed.
“I’m here.” I swallowed, tears streaming down my face and I step closer, careful because I had no idea what to expect from him in this state.
He gripped the sheets harder when my voice reached his ears. “You shouldn’t be.” He groaned, coughing and turn his head to face me. Our eyes met and my breath gets snagged. The little fear I had is gone in an instant as his familiar eyes soothe me.
I rush to his side.
His eyes look behind me. “You brought her here!” He accused Xaden who stood at the doorway.
“She came on her own!” Xaden argued, stepping into the room. “She remembers you, me, everything. She came here for you.”
Xade snaps his eyes to mine, and they are wide with disbelief and shock. “That’s impossible,” he whispered in a weakened raspy voice.
“Trust me little brother she now knows everything.” Xaden admitted. “Down to what we are.”
I didn’t think it was possible for Xade’s skin to lose even more color. It was now almost translucent.
I rolled my eyes, grasping his hands that were cold to the touch. “I’m mad at you for pretending that you didn’t know me and hiding that you’re a werewolf, but right now we have other things to worry about.”
His eyes searched mine deeply, and even in this weakened state his eyes reveal those emotions he had tried so hard to hide from me when my memories had been gone.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“You don’t fear me?” His voice is that of a little scared child and it breaks my heart to hear it. He looks scared for my reply.
I grab his hand harder, kneeling beside his bed until our faces were close, breathing the same air. “Nothing in this word will make me fear you, Xade. I love you. Till death do us part remember?”
I looked back at Xaden. “You said I am the only one who can save him,” I stood up but don’t let Xade’s hands go. “Tell me how.” I demanded.
“No, I can’t,” Xade’s voice broke. “I can’t risk hurting you Avery-
I snapped my eyes back down to his and glared. “There’s no way in hell I’m making the man I love and my baby’s father die! Till death do us part but I am not ready to part yet,” I bring his cold hand to my stomach. “You’re not leaving us yet Xade Archer.”.
