“Would you like me to see through his mind what happened that day? Who gave the order?” I ask. I know Xander dealt with the death of his mate but this whole thing just opened up that sealed wound and it was bleeding.
He nodded.
I moved away from him and to our fallen unconscious friend.
I crouched down to the passed out rogue and grabbed hold of his hand.
What happened the night of Xander’s mate’s death was crazy.
Firstly, the rogues came in with no trouble, which would suggest they had an inside man or two.
Someone got Xander’s mate to believe Xander wanted to meet him in the woods but Xander was nowhere near the woods, in fact, he was busy in a meeting with his father and the alpha from the neighboring pack. The rogues didn’t waste time in killing her. The 3 rogues here, jumped her within seconds and tore her apart. I could feel tears falling down my face as I watched her scream in agony until her screams were silenced. They further on started feeding on her body but kept her face intact so Xander would know.
Intruder sirens could be heard throughout the pack lands, alerting the entire pack. Xander must’ve felt her die, her pain. I can’t imagine the pain he must’ve felt.
The alpha from the neighboring pack drove past and stopped to nod at the rogues before driving off. The next memory I sought after was the latest. The alpha from the neighboring pack giving the order to come and kill me. I pulled away from him and found him awake, looking at me.
I got up and stepped back from him.
“You are truly evil. You disgusting pig!” I say but the guy remains quiet. Looking at me curiously. Trying to figure out what I was.
I turn to look at Xander and he walks up to me, wipes away me tears and pulls me in for a hug. Behind Xander, I see about 6 warriors.
We pulled away from each other but remained close enough. I placed my hand in his as I showed him what I saw. Seeing it all over again made me cry again.
This was just too much.
After showing Xander, it all happened so fast but in slow motion.
He decapitated all the rogues by crushing their necks and pulling their heads out. One by one their heads flew to the other side and after the last one, Xander let out an earth shattering growl. Our alpha was mad.
He looked at me and I knew then that we were going to war.
“Have their heads cleaned up and put in boxes. Then have them delivered to Alpha Neil. He will know what that means.” He says to Lucas who nods his head and has 2 warriors help him in getting the heads and walking away.
“We would’ve killed them if you weren’t here and I wouldn’t know what you just showed me.” Xander said with his back to me as he looked at the 3 bodies on the ground.
“The truth would come out eventually. It would’ve probably taken longer. This opens up a lot of buried feelings. Will you be okay?” I ask him sincerely.
He turns around to look at me. His eyes were glassy but no tears fell.
“I will be fine. I’ve made peace with her passing. I’m just angry the answers were under my nose this whole time. I’m also relieved I get to avenge her properly. Before I was just killing rogues in sight but now I know who to go for. I’m able to give my wolf the one thing he wants the most and that’s revenge for his mate.” Xander says.
I could see the sadness in his eyes. That funny and silly alpha wasn’t there. He was in his head, dealing with the death of his mate once again.
I was in my head troubled by the fact that the rogues slipped in so easily in broad daylight! Something was afoot here and I was going to find out why this impenetrable pack easily missed 3 rogues.
“I know it’s too soon to say this but your impenetrable border is actually an easy in. Can I make some changes?” I ask. I know he’s dealing with a lot but that’s why I offered to make some changes.
He cackles but I can see the hurt in his eyes. Seeing his mate die killed him and I took him back there. A time when he has to grieve her yet again.
I can at least take comfort in the fact that he can get closure from this. He knows exactly what happened and who ordered it.
