My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret)

Chapter 220



Xade’s pov

The silence in the room was suffocating and thick, curling around us like a wand of steel. Something tight looped around my chest, anxiety, angst, so many emotions at once. The feeling was almost unbearable.

The council was here.

A bitter pill to swallow knowing why they were. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

My V……

I run a hand through my hair, tugging at the strands in frustration. “We need to be at the border to welcome them in,” Dad said tightly, his nervous eyes shifting to mine knowing I would not like that kind of news.

“Looks like the plot has thickened,” Fay said coldly. “Wonder if they’ve come here to see if my daughter is worthy of breathing this very air.”

Her words ticked me off. I didn’t want to lose control and harsh things out with the woman I still see as a second mother despite her now disgust for me. However my beast had been on edge ever since and holding him back was becoming impossible.

So when he bared out our canines and snarled at her, I couldn’t rile him in quick enough. I watch her eyes widen in alarm and shock and she quickly backed away.

Xaden comes to stand beside me, gripping my arm in warning to calm. down.” We have bigger things to worry about,” he reminded me and turns to our father. ” We will go, Xade stays with Avery.”

No take that beast with you. I will stay with my daughter,” Fay hissed in disgust but keeps her eyes away from me.

Fay there’s no time for all this resentment. We all have one common enemy and one common person we love dearly. We are not your enemies,” Mom sighs, looking just as frustrated as everyone with Fay’s clear distaste for us.

“You all are,” her eyes burned with anger. “I should have never agreed to come here. I should have protected my daughter from this world, protected her from you.”

Her words hit me hard but I have now since grown used to them. Though they pushed at my emotions, mom was right, there was no time for this kind of resentment. My main focus was on my mate. Avery.

Xaden’s grip on my arm grows firm, pressing and warning me to keep my emotions at bay. I nod, silently telling him I got this.

“We will go to the council, you keep Avery safe Xade,” he squeezed my shoulder one last time before stepping away.

I nod, glancing at the door my whole life was behind. “I will.”

Hearing Fay’s scoff set my wolf on edge and her next words hit me so hard, I knew they would haunt me for the rest of my life. ” Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat, my fingers balling together to form fists at my sides.

Dad butts in.” We need to move now. Alister isn’t known to be patient. To avoid any more complications we should head out,” his eyes flickered over to me, lingering with silent concern. “Whatever happens today, remember,” his eyes move from mine to Fay’s. ” We are all family.”

Family. We are all family.
