Chapter 25

Xavier's Pov:
I finished the hunt quickly.
After asking Amos to help me bring the prey back, I headed in the direction where Lsabella had entered the forest.
If she was really okay, she would have transformed the moment she entered the forest. I saw the figure of Lsabella running alone in a pack of wolves.
Lsabella never refused to show weakness to me, she always carried the burden of the Alpha alone, not willing to rely on me.
This was also because I was too weak. If I was strong enough, how could I have put Lsabella in such a situation?
I ran quickly through the forest, trying to search for Lsabella's figure.
So what if I made Lsabella angry or annoying, as long as nothing would happen to her, I simply could not leave her.
I actually can't be completely at ease with the joint army, what if there are still remnants of rogues in this forest?
Declan suddenly appeared in front of me, and he stopped my way.
"Where are you going? Why don't you go hunting?"
He was Jasper's Beta, and even though Lsabella had a pretty good opinion of him, I had a natural wariness of him.
"I'm just hunting, what's the matter with you?"
"Some warriors encountered rogues on the east side of the forest, and Jasper ordered all Beta and Gamma to patrol in groups."
I was shocked, indeed there were still remnants of rogues. Why was this Jasper in a hurry to hold a hunting day here? If something bad really happened to Lsabella, I won't let him off the hook!
"Hey! Where are you going!"
Ignoring Declan's shout behind me, I immediately ran deeper into the forest.
"Lsabella! Where are you now!"
Lsabella's pov :
The wolf came out of the shadows.
It was a wolf with mixed-colored fur and brown eyes that revealed a heavy murderous aura.
And the eyes were somewhat familiar to me, but couldn't think of exactly where I'd seen them before, maybe some rogue?
It didn't look very strong, and even in a wolf pack, it was at most a Beta, far from an Alpha, so I didn't have to be afraid of it at all according to the usual view.
But the tricky part now is that I still haven't regained the ability to transform my form, and I just hunted down an adult boar.
This werewolf could have been waiting for me in the shadows, waiting for me to be at my weakest before making his move.
I took a step back and clutched the dagger in my hand, this was really bad.
"It's been a long time, Miss Lsabella."
As soon as the werewolf across from me opened his mouth, I was shocked inside.
By the sound of his voice this man was actually Silas!
Wasn't he removed by Jasper? How could he still appear here?
But his motive to kill me was sufficient.
The first time I saw him, I was able to see him.
Silas leapt down the slope at my words and scurried to me in a few steps.
"What can I do? Of course, I'm here to kill Miss Lsabella."
It seems that this Silas is very confident this time, he did not shy away from killing me.
But I also had a lot of questions in my mind.
"You wanted to kill me when I first met you, right? But I don't know what kind of reason you can have to kill me, or is it that you are following the orders of someone who must get me killed?"
My mind quickly recalled the sight of the first time I met Silas, and his hostility towards me seemed to stem from my status as Jasper's MATE. If that was the reason for the vendetta, who would the person who wanted to do it be?
The first person that flashed through my mind was Charlotte, who obviously had a strong animosity towards me from the beginning.
But after I lived in Blue Moon Pack for a while, I began to feel that the Olivia lady is also very strange, she did not show any hostility to me, but she is very concerned about me, and seems to be intentionally set up Jasper and me.
And the last time we met, she said something without a head and then jumped into the lake herself.
So now there were two suspects.
I grinned toward Silas: "Who sent you, and she doesn't know the secret between Jasper and me."
Silas, who was leering at the thin neck of my human form, suddenly became serious at my words.
"What secret?"
Before I could answer his question, Silas quickly gave another sly smile, "You're tricking me, aren't you? Trying to stall for time? But let me tell you, you've gone too far, no wolves are hunting over here, everyone is busy searching for rogues in the opposite direction. I'll bite your neck right now, you'll be too late to save you even with that Xavier by your side!"
Yes Silas is not wrong, the fact that I have been hunting here for so long without meeting a single person is an indication that the place I am in is indeed remote, after all, I don't really want others to see me unable to transform my form either.
I now send out a distress signal, rescue is also very difficult to come before Silas do.
But this Silas is still a bit gullible, if I fight to the death, he may not be able to kill me, more likely I still have a breath, but he was killed by me.
My eyes glared and I performed a panicked look: "How did you calculate so well? Who the hell is trying to kill me? What did I do wrong?"
Silas smiled smugly: "Who could have wanted to kill you? It's not because you've taken a position that doesn't belong to you? Unfortunately, you no longer have the chance to regret."
Before Silas' words fell, he leapt up and lunged at me with his mouth wide open and sharp teeth.
But he wasn't fast enough, and this leap exposed so many of his weaknesses that I had to use this dagger to crack it.
But the moment I got up and out of the knife, a gray shadow flashed from the side, and Silas and I were unable to react in time, Silas was directly intercepted by this gray shadow halfway and fell on the other side.
I rolled on the ground, and then immediately stood up again.
Between them a gray wolf pressed on top of Silas.
He didn't give Silas any chance at all and snapped Silas's neck with a few bites.
I was stunned by this sudden turn of events. I didn't know this gray wolf, but he killed Silas so crisply.
The gray wolf ended his hunt and then turned his head to look at me.
I gripped the dagger in my own hand warily. "You just responded in a very Alpha-like manner, my opinion of Miss Lsabella has changed again."
It was a young man's voice that I should have heard a while ago.
"Nick?" I asked tentatively.
"It's me, Miss Lsabella." The gray wolf spoke nonchalantly, it looked so laid back.
"Thank you for the compliment, but aren't you going to escape?There are several Alpha's assembled on Purple Moon Pack's territory, and the searchers here are the elite of the entire East Continent."
Nick heard my words, but did not feel panic. He regained his human form and walked up to me.
Suddenly, Nick, who had no hostile intent, held a knife against my neck, and knowing that I had no more strength to dodge, I stayed where I was and looked at him calmly.
I was even able to notice a tattoo on the inside of his arm, a hollowed-out triangle.
"You killed my Alpha, I would have fought you, but you haven't been able to transform your form yet, have you?"
What did I hear? How could a rogue have an Alpha?
"You're talking about Mr. Gary?"
"Yes."
I was surprised that Nick was willing to submit to Mr. Gary's suppression; it seemed that the rogues weren't all a bunch of savages.
In the distance came the sound of werewolves running, presumably other werewolves participating in the hunt.
I swept the knife in front of my neck: "Move fast, or there will be no hurry."
Nick sneered, "You're braver than that corpse next to you."
"Thanks for the compliment."
He suddenly jumped back a step: "I'll find another chance to duel with you, don't forget."
"And one last reminder for you," he pointed in the direction of my head: "Don't die here."
I suddenly felt a chill on my back.
The moment I swung my knife back and turned, a white light rushed to my arm. I nailed the snake to the tree with my knife, but I had already been bitten. I looked at the two small holes in my arm.
"Damn!"
I felt my eyes had blurred, crap, I could only pray that the man wasn't here to take my life.
"Lsabella!"
I blacked out before my eyes and finally heard a familiar shout.
I slowly opened my eyes, I should still be in a hallucination at this moment, because I was in front of my eyes was white. There seemed to be strange patterns flashing in the white light in front of my eyes, and strange and distant sounds filled my ears.
The only thing that makes me feel comfortable is that I am now lying in an embrace, this embrace is cold, to relieve my irritability at the moment, I burrowed into his arms again, so comfortable.
I can't figure out what's going on outside, I don't even know whose arms I'm in at the moment, but I can smell something that makes me feel good. I had smelled it before, and I knew it came from my mate.
Xavier's face flashed through my mind. I couldn't detect anything wrong, my mind was just too overwhelmed.
"Hot..."
"What?" A familiar voice across the water appeared above my head and I felt a large pair of hands wrap themselves tighter around me.
My hands climbed on top of him as well, my palms rubbing this cool back of his, trying to get more relief for me.
My body squirmed comfortably in his arms, my skin brushing against his cool skin one after another.
His body was very stiff at first, and I buried my head in the crook of his arm like a bad boy, and I took a few sharp breaths, trying to drown in the scent.
"So comfortable..."
My mate relaxed as well, his palm rubbing against my back, the calluses between his palms tracing my back, stirring up a whole wariness.
Two cold, soft kisses landed on my forehead, and I raised my head, wanting more.
He sensed my invitation and kissed his way down my cheek, he lingered slightly at the corner of my mouth but did not kiss up. I struggled with some resentment as he kissed down my neck, sucking on my collarbone.
It was so comfortable, like being in a reassuring womb, all my guard against the world was down and I just wanted to fall in his arms.
I pressed myself against his chest and my lips fell on them, another bad idea that I had imprinted on my mark, I sucked hard and as expected heard a backward intake of breath.
So good, I completely relaxed, all the previous tightness disappeared, I fell into a wonderful dream, really some do not want to wake up.
