Chapter 168
Xavier POV
“Then what are you?” Noah’s eyes dimmed suspiciously as he regarded me “The issue with your pack could have been resolved at that level because it’s your jurisdiction but you came from your pack to Moon Whisper to come do what?”
“To see my children,” I replied. There was no need to try to drag out the truth “I and Selene were not exactly talking and the little time we did speak, it was always so brief. She didn’t give me
“That’s enough both of you,” Selene interrupted me with a sigh “You speak as if I am not present. Hey… I am here okay… just because I’ve been with both of you, that doesn’t give you to right to talk over me. You know what she rose to her feet “I’m going to take a walk because the longer I stay here listening to your nonsense, the more I contemplate shoving my fist in your faces,”.
Both me and Noah remained silent until she left the room. When we were alone, Noah turned to me, studying me silently before he spoke again.
“What can you give me in return, Xavier?” he asked reaching for his glass of wine on the table. “I admit I abused my power as your King except for Kurtis… Alpha Jared is a greedy fellow and somehow, he’s interested in something in your pack, that’s the much I know… but I think it’s related to those things we talked about and he stopped and ran a hand through his hair “We’ll talk about that much more later but I used Jared because he was willing to do anything for the power,”.
“Well, it’s a good thing you’ve admitted that you did everything on purpose but you’re playing a dangerous game trying to use Jared to take revenge on you. We both agreed and made a pact that I would not in any way come in between your relationship with Selene which I have done until now,”.
“Really?” he scoffed “You haven’t done anything Xavier. I saw you hugging my wife a few seconds ago and then you laid beside her and
“With your permission and just to make sure the only physical contact we had was our hands, I went the extra mile to ensure that. But I think you’re angry because somehow, you’ve become me and you’re scared that Selene would leave you and
“I am not you, Xavier!” he exploded flashing me a haunted glare “I didn’t spend 7 years s of my life cheating on my wife nor abusing her emotionally okay? What happened with Brooke was a slip of control and a mistake and until now, I haven’t done anything else with her,”.
“But you will!” I said with a sneer on my lips “Cheating doesn’t happen by accident and when it does and the person with whom you committed the affair is still close by, believe me, the tendency of doing it again is very high. I am not saying this to scare you but only to state the fact but guess what… Selene gave you a second chance to fix your marriage… and this is a perfect opening for me because I noticed your mistress is still hanging around you and what is it about a promise of making her a concubine… something like that,”.
“What are you driving at, Xavier?” he asked calmly.
“Right now, therapy is not what will heal your marriage. What if I take Brooke off your hands and the girls so that there won’t be any distraction for Selene and give you a few tips on what she likes
“And what makes you think I’ll come to someone like you for that kind of tip?” he scoffed “You’re overplaying your hand, Xavier. The only reason I am seated here listening to your nonsense is because we’re family. Listen, I’ll make you an offer, if you don’t want it, you might as well go to hell,”.
Bingo!
Just like I predicted. Turns out I still know my uncle. Noah was someone who when he’s set in his ways nothing will deter him from doing what he feels is right. All I needed was the dangle the obvious in front of him.
“Fine, what is your proposition?” I asked leaning back on the chair I was.
“First, you’ll promise to cut every tie with Selene. The only reason for your communication would only be because of the girls but since you’ll be with them for a few months, it’ll be limited to only necessary calls which I doubt would be a problem and I’m going to allow you a few days to spend with her so you can get properly healed and be on your merry way back to your pack,”.
“Splendid,” I nodded “What else?”
“This would be the last time Xavier,” he said quietly “You should try not to get hurt or do anything that would make you need, Selene because I’m not sure I’m going to be as pleasant and receptive as I am now in the future. Stay fit… do anything that you can goddamn do to stay alive and healthy because, from this moment, Selene will seize to be your antidote,”.
“Fine!” I nodded trying to look serious, because I know he also knew that I would never stop needing Selene but if he asked me to jump at this moment, I would jump as high as an eagle.
“Lastly, you’ll talk to your mom concerning the way she treats Selene. She’s my wife but she’s also the children’s mother. I am afraid that she may try to sabotage her in one way. You’re big enough to understand that your mom always wants things to be done her way. Most times she cannot stand things not going the way she wants and usually, it gets her upset, so if you could just try to keep an eye on her and report whatever she’s about to do that concerns Selene of course,”.
Did he also know what my mom did to Selene’s parents? If he was referring to my mom being violent, it means he knew. The only way to test that theory was to confirm if he truly knew.
“Did you know she killed Selene’s parents?” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net
