Chapter 204
Xade’s pov
“You’re going to leave a permanent pacing mark on the floors if you continue to walk up and down the hallway.” Xaden joked, leaning against the wall and staring at me amused.
I stop to glare at him and the fucker does not bat an eye at my anger. “My woman is in there bleeding out and that dumb doctor kicked me out. Do you expect me to stay put?” I snarl.
I cannot focus on anything other than Avery.
Xaden’s lips twitch. ” You were hovering over the poor man’s back and he could barely focus. Avery is strong and you know that.”
I do. I do know she’s strong. But I can’t help but still be worried. I want to know if she’s doing okay, and if he has helped her. I was tempted to push into his mind and ask her but I didn’t want to disturb him while he was still examining her.
“I get it brother, you are terrified,” Xaden nods and his calm demeanor makes me frustrated. ” But let the man do his job and trust him. He is the best we have in the pack. He will help her.”
I know he is right but the helplessness gnaws at me. I want to be by her side, I needed to be by her side. I clench my fists at my side hard, trying to resist the urge to punch the wall.
“Xaden is right Xade,” Dad mutters. And I know he is right. And I hate that he is. But I can’t stop seeing flashes of Avery on the bed, trembling from the pain she is enduring.
“She is going through all of this because of me,” I mutter more to myself than anyone.” She shouldn’t have to go through this,” my voice breaks.
“You are right,” A soft voice barely audible runs through the air coldly. I look up, my eyes meeting Fay’s. ” You should have never marked her.”
Her words hit me like a powerful punch to the gut, rendering me speechless for a few seconds. I can feel the weight of her words curled into a ball and pressing down on my chest, keeping me from breathing.
My jaw tightens, trying to seem as if her words didn’t blow. But I knew I failed when Xaden shifted on his feet nervously and Dad’s jaw clenched.
She is right, and I loathed that she is. This would not be happening to Avery if I hadn’t kissed her, tasted her, and become addicted. I should have never-
“Fay your words are not helping the situation,” Dad sneered under his breath.
Fay whips him with a sharp glare. ” What I say is the truth. Your son, you beasts should not be marking humans, destined or not. It is a mistake. Now my daughter lay in a bed suffering from pain.”
Her eyes snap to mine, narrowing. ” You should have stayed away from her. If you had loved her as you claimed, you should have stayed away.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
