Avery’s pov
I can’t believe this is happening right now. I stare in horror at the scene. before me, as they place Kyan’s body on the stretcher, rolling him away hastily.
The paramedics came five minutes ago and the cops too. They were currently questioning Xade after they questioned me. Now that everyone’s attention was on Xade, I, well I wasn’t sure what to do. I stood in the exact same spot I had been for minutes now, my arms. crossed and my nails biting into my skin.
I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, judging me and pointing fingers at my face. They were blaming me for this as they should.
I wasn’t able to stop Xade enough and now a boy was fighting for his life. All this was my fault, from mistaking Xade for Kyan that night and making Xade do these things to me in the bathroom….
I had really done this.
I swallowed.
“Heard it’s because of her,” a girl leaned in her friend’s ear to whisper. She failed at whispering because I can still hear her.
“Yeah, someone said they saw Kyan and her arguing upstairs. Apparently they found her and Xade in the bathroom being freaky.” She snorted when her friend looked at her in intrigue.
My gut twisted.

- 23.
Are you sure?” The friend ‘whispered‘ back. “There must be a mixup, Xade Archer will never go for someone like her.”
That stings.
And let us just say he went for her,” the girl’s voice swim with disgust. “Isn’t she friends with Melissa? What a fake a*s bitch. She should’ve been the one to get her a*s beaten.”
I needed to get away from here. I turn around to leave, my head down as I make my way outside. I am not sure what to do, or where to go. Melissa is crashed out in Xade’s car and Xade is being questioned by the police. He’d probably leave in handcuffs.
As I stepped out into the night, a cold gust of wind blew on my body and I hugged myself, my eyes following the ambulance as they closed the doors and leave.
I made up my mind. I’ll go to the hospital, Kyan knew me and Xade. His parents won’t get here tonight.
I pulled out my phone and got an Uber who arrived in eight minutes. Another ten minutes and I’m inside the hospital in the waiting area.
My phone had been ringing for five minutes now nonstop. All were missed calls from Xade. He had noticed my absence.
I was angry with him so I refused to pick up any of his calls. He went too far tonight. I don’t think I’ll be able to see him the same anymore.
I lift my head when I saw the doctor and a nurse come out of the room they had Kyan in. My belly twisting with nerves as I approach the two.

“Is Kyan going to be okay?” My voice came out soft, a whisper, a fragile whisper.

They looked at me, their expressions unreadable. “Yes. He only
suffered a concussion but he’ll be fine. We will keep him here for a few days to make sure everything is good and he will be able to get back to his normal life soon.”
The relief of air that left my parted lips was loud and I swallowed, nodding as my eyes blurred with unshed tears. At least no one died because of me tonight.
Xade’s pov
I screwed up tonight.
I knew I did when I saw the way she stared at me. Fear. I made her fear Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
- me.
F*ck. I hadn’t meant for me to go this far, my wolf kept seeing the
image of her bruised wrists and I just saw red. I wasn’t thinking about. anything else but to hurt the bastard that dared to mark her beautiful skin.
But I had gone too far. And now she was refusing to pick up my calls. Not knowing where she was, was making me mad.
I needed air.
I watch the officers leave. They had a right to take me in but they didn’t because those who were werewolves sensed my aura and had to back. down.
However I knew they would warn my father and the dean of the
school. I know my dad will be furious, the last thing he wants is for his son to be known as a human murderer.

I’d get an earful. I cringed, dialing Avery once more. She doesn’t pick up.

Storming out of the house, I marched over to my car, once more trying to get a hold of V. I know she was mad at me but I hope she was okay wherever she is. I have a lot to make up for.
I will get on my knees for her, beg her for days, whatever she wants me to do. I’d do it. There was only two women in this world who had me wrapped around their fingers and it was my mom and Avery.
I slammed my fist on the hood of the car, hissing in frustration. “F*ck!” I roared into the night, running my hand through my hair in frustration. I have a shit ton of pleading to do to make my little human forgive me.
