XADEN’S POV
We got back into the pack and an omega helped me take off my Jacket.
"My lord." He said as he brushed the jacket off.
I went straight to where the burning furnace was and warmed myself.
As I stretched my hand towards the burning log of wood, all I could think of was how I didn’t deserve to be an Alpha anymore.
How I had been so driven to hunger and vengeance I had lost myself.
Lost any sense of my purpose.
I gently touched my chest to feel where my heart would have been.
I had taken away my heart just for strength and power.
Taken away my ability to have children in trade for a bigger future.
And yet a miracle had happened.
Jasmine had done the one thing no one had ever done.
I had slept with thousands of women and yet somehow I had gotten Jasmine pregnant.
Our little Thalira would have been our miracle baby.
I had never really cared about children in the pack.
They were my responsibility to protect as members of the pack.
So I only saw them as that.
But the idea of the baby coming.
A child of my own bloodline coming to me had slowly made me happy.
And it wound have been a baby girl.
And yet I killed her!
I had locked Jasmine up.
Left her abandoned while she bled and lost our child.
I wanted to hit myself over and over till I couldn’t breathe.
My ego, pride and hate had driven me to lengths I never knew existed.
I was slowly becoming the man I had grown to hate my entire life.
"I summoned all the couriers." Silas said from behind.
I remained looking at the fire place.
"How does it look?" I asked.
"Not so good." Silas said after a deep sigh. "I’ve rounded them up. We are about to start a proper investigation into the whole situation but so far it doesn’t seem like any of them are even aware of what he did."
I chewed my bottom lip.
"We’re still trying to gather more information." He said trying to sound hopeful. "He most definitely could not have acted alone. We will get to the bottom of this Xaden I can assure you."
I sighed heavily.
Anna had told me with all certainty that Jasmine had had an affair with Hunter.
If Anna was here, then how had she been able to manipulate a letter I had requested meters away from home.
But now I knew that she had lied about how she had been raised.
The possibility that she still had ties to the people here made the whole story seem not so impossible anymore.
Anna had no idea I had come here neither did anyone else.
I sat down on a seat and took of my shift as I leg the warm fire embrace my cold body.
I was quiet for a while, my minding still racing for a solution.
And then I remembered something Silas said.
"What about the girl?" I asked.
"What girl?"
"Alice. The one you said knew more about Alpha Hunter." I asked.
Silas shrugged. "She is just there. But I don’t think she would amount to anything to be very honest."
"Try me." I said leaning back in the chair. "Bring her in."
