Xaden’s pov
Her touch ignited a warmth that spread from where her hand touched mine to every corner of my very being. We were not mated yet and she was causing such strong emotions within me….I can’t imagine the feelings we both will feel when we do get mated.
I looked back at the road, having a stupid goofy smile on my face. You need to give me directions to that warehouse-
‘The mark is healing!’ Dad pushed in my head, his voice sounding relieved.
His sudden revelation made me widen my eyes in shock thus making me swerve the car to the side a little. Kaylee retracts her hand to grasp the door in fear and I winced, murmuring an apology to her. “I’m sorry about that.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Are we in the clear now? How is she? How is Xade?’ I questioned quickly, uncertain if to turn the car back around and return to the penthouse.
They both seem alright. Both resting now. But,’ Dad stopped and then continued. ‘Henry thinks the reason for her sudden healing is because the baby is sharing its essence with her. In other words, the baby is turning her into one of us.’
Iswerved again and Kaylee yelps, holding the handle for dear life. I cringe, apologizing once more. ” Sorry,” I cleared my throat.
‘Is that even possible?’ I asked, a bit concerned and happy that Avery was going to be okay. However what could that mean for her now that she would be a werewolf? Could she handle this and carrying a pup at once?
‘Don’t know, her scent is changing for sure, but it’s too soon to tell,’ he grumble.’ However it will explain why she is suddenly adapting to Xade’s mark and is healing so quickly. We just need to keep an eye on her, make sure she adjusts to this new life as best as she can.’
‘I agree, we need to keep an eye on her since this isn’t heard of,’ I stated. ‘ What about the wolfsbane, should we abort mission?’
‘No, go find it and bring it back here. We can’t have it fall into the wrong hands, you never know.’
I nod even though he couldn’t see me and step on the gas. ” Need those directions now pretty,” I glanced at Kaylee, watching her pretty cheeks turn rosy from the nickname I will begin to call her from now on.
Oh,” she yelps in surprise, her fingers twirling nervously on her lap even more. The corners of my lips lift as I fight off the smile. ” Right. Take the next left.” she continues to show me the directions, her eyes staring at the building in awe and glee.
She was like a kid who just got her favorite toy.
‘By the way, you hadn’t elaborated on who would not let us through,” I raised a brow, glancing at her for a brief moment before settling my gaze back on the road.
Kaylee coughs and I frown, worried. ” Are you okay?” I asked gently, reaching out to tap her back lightly.
“Yeah I am fine,” She coughs, fixing herself. I raised a brow, sensing the slight tension in her body.
“Is it a guy?” I grumble, trying to push down my jealousy. My wolf did not like the thought of some guy guarding our mate’s flower. My hands on Kaylee frowns. “No.”
I glanced at her. ” Then who?”
No one, I lied,” Her face flamed. ” Avery pain reminds me of my mother’s pain when my father forcefully bit her as punishment,” she utters sadly, her teary eyes looking away and out the window. “I don’t like the scent of death. Not when I had to be the one to finish kill my very own mother to rid her of her suffering.” I can hear her loud gulp and my heart aches for her, her sorrow my sorrow.
“The scent has followed me ever since,” she says shakily, the smell of her tears overflowing in the small space of the car.
