MY BESTFRIEND SLIPPED INSIDE ME (AN ALPHA’S SECRET) - Season 3 Episode 7

Xade’s pov

Her retreating figure and words left a cold silence in the hallway. Her words that were filled so much with anger and venom lingers in the air even when we hear her open the front door and leave.

“Should we be concerned?” Xaden questions.

It’s clear she’s hurting but I don’t think Fay will cause any trouble,” Dad grumbles, staring down the hall she left.

I nod, agreeing with him even though a little part of me feared she’d do something to go against us. When anger has consumed the flesh it is hard to regain back that power.

The truth is…Fay’s words left a permanent hole in my chest, twisting the guilt deeper into my heart. The guilt that had been gnawing at me since all of this had begun.

“She’s right,” I utter softly, my voice strained with emotions. “I should have kept my distance from her when I realized I was in love with her. I should have held back.”

Dad’s brows furrowed and lines dusted on his forehead as he frowned. ”

Blaming yourself isn’t going to help this situation and Avery.”

I clench my hands into fists, my claws digging into my palms. “I can’t shake the feeling that I should’ve been more careful with her. That I should have protected her better.”

I looked down the hallway, the very one Fay stormed out of. I couldn’t help but feel the pain and the fear of Avery’s destiny being awful because of me.

Fay was right, I should have protected her more. Better. I should have put my needs behind me that night. I was selfish and I kept being so even when I knew the consequences.

I had dragged Avery into a world of pain she should have never been a part of. I had bound her to me for eternity because I was selfish to let anyone else have her.

Loving her was perfect, loving her was raw but it came with many consequences that did not benefit her at all.

As my thoughts jumble up the door suddenly creaks open and my heart lurches in my throat when behind the door stands the doctor who looks paler than when he had arrived. Instantly I knew something was wrong.
