Xavier
I will be so damned if I let Rick die for what I did. I started this; I should be the only one to pay for it.
Asides, I have no cubs. If anyone should rule the Ocean Howl Pack, it should be Rick.
I felt a sharp pain hit me as Autumn finally grabbed my heart. I looked at her again to see if I could read her expression. She looked unreadable for the first time. I've always seen her as a fragile person, so this new Autumn felt so strange to me.
But I was expecting it. It was all bound to happen. I had felt it; I had felt her person changing. If Autumn hasn't shifted now, she would soon. That would totally change her.
But who would have known that a weak girl from that time was destined for such greatness? It's a pity I won't be around to see it.
A small part of me wanted to see that time, but I knew it was impossible. I regretted all I had done, but that won't change anything. Just as I thought Autumn deserved death then, I deserve death now.
My whole body shuddered as I felt death near me. Pain rushed into me again, a wall of it, but I had no idea if it was the pain from getting rejected by my mate or about to be killed by her.
I guess it's all the same, and it doesn't matter.
I closed my eyes for a moment and awaited death. Suddenly, something pushed me away, and I found myself disconnecting from Autumn again.
I pushed my eyes open immediately, expecting to see Rick, but it's Brown I'm staring at this time.
“We will not let you kill our king!” Brown yelled.
Several men hurried inside the room at this time and soon stood in front of me in a defensive position. There were over twenty-four by my mere counting.
I coughed out blood and stared down at my heart. It was almost out. If Brown was a little bit late, I would be dead. Not that I cared, though.
It was all over. I want peace now.
Rick must have mindlinked Brown. How could he be spoiling everything for me now? I was supposed to die. I have promised Autumn.
“What are you all doing?” I yelled at them.
I looked up at Rick, expecting an explanation, but he ignored me and moved to stand in front of Brown. He was naked, but he doesn't even seem bothered by it.
It was the first time I was seeing a side of him as well. Rick has never been so stubborn.
“Everyone makes mistakes, Autumn,” he started suddenly in a voice laced with a kind of emotion I couldn't describe. “You have as well. You killed a maid the day you went on heat!” he uttered, his voice going louder with each word.
I saw Autumn wince. I didn't like the fact that Rick was bringing up something so hurtful, but at this point, I didn't even know what I was supposed to do or say, so I just watched.
“If you can make such a mistake and no one is reprimanding you for it, then why do you want to punish Xavier with death? I won't let you,” he dragged. “I won't let you kill him, Autumn. I won't! You will kill me first and everyone here. You will kill us all before you reach the King!” he announced.
I regarded Rowan for a moment, shocked.
The door opened again and more men rushed inside.
“Defend the king!” Rick yelled, and all the men circled me.
The elders hurried closer to Autumn now.
“We should leave now. They are getting too much,” one of them suggested.
I looked at Autumn. Our gaze held and locked for a moment. Her expression was soft, yet weird. I know I promised her, but I couldn't even fulfil the end of my bargain.
I don't believe this is how weak I am. I've always tried harder to hide the fact that I was in fact weak. I wanted to be strong not because my father wanted me to.
But it merely looked like that was what actually happened. The moment my father died, I became weak again.
Everything I have ever done, every decision I have ever made, was because I was scared to admit to the fact that I was scared.
“Autumn! We can come back!” Another elder yelled as more men rushed inside, almost suffocating us, but there was no stopping. It looked like Rick planned everything ahead.
Autumn was still looking at me as the elders started to drag her.
I saw the tears on her face as she eventually backed away.
“I will be back!” She announced before she eventually walked out with the elders.
I closed my eyes and inhaled a sighing breath. I was tired.
“Xavier!” Rick yelled and rushed to me. “Come, Brown. Support me!” He yelled.
Then, I felt two strong arms around me. They finally helped me up and moved me out of the room.
Outside, they pulled to a sudden stop as Rowan neared us with three of his men.
“What happened here?”
Rick huffed. “I'm not obliged to report anything to you. What do you want, Alpha Rowan?”
“I'm taking Gwen with me. She can never get better staying here.”
At this point, I didn't even know what to say. I guess it was only right I allow him to take his cousin away. Perhaps he could find a way to finally save her. I guess I'm useless at this point.
“You should,” I said suddenly, shocking myself.
Rowan nodded once, which was strange. He looked a lot calmer now. I have never seen this side of him.
“You see, there's something I have realised after staying here for days: never trust no one, Alpha Xavier, and always watch your steps. Looks like I will leave Lucas for you then. I guess you will have to decide what to do with him,” he muttered.
I was confused. “Who?”
Rowan regarded me for a moment. “A few minutes ago, Autumn came to me. She found who poisoned my cousin.”
I was more shocked. Why would Autumn do that? Autumn was supposed to kill me, not help me. Why did she help me out when she knew she was going to kill me?
I was lost in confusion. I had a lot of questions, but the answers eluded me.
Rick sighed. “It was what I was coming to report to you when I met her.”
Rowan smiled. “It looks like you don't even know half of it. Well, I will step back at this stage. I won't wage a war; I shouldn't have thought it like that, actually. I should have believed you. I know how much you have always loved my sister. I knew you wouldn't hurt her anyway. I guess I just hated you, and I still do. Take care!” He finished and smiled, which was the first time before he turned and started to walk away.
I watched him go. What just happened?
Did Autumn just make me avoid this war?
I will be so damned if I let Rick die for what I did. I started this; I should be the only one to pay for it.
Asides, I have no cubs. If anyone should rule the Ocean Howl Pack, it should be Rick.
