Xade’s pov
The force of the accusation hit me right in the chest, making me stifle the air in my lungs. ” Fay,” my dad utters calmly, staring her down as she begins to approach us. “Now is not the time to-
She spared him a lazy glance and then turned away from him as if he disgusted her. “No,” she cuts in, keeping her eyes trained hard on me while her lips curled up into a sneer as though she took a foul scent.
I want to know why as her mate who loves her so much, made it get this bad?” she sneers sarcastically, her eyes turning from cold disgust to fiery fury. Why did you not protect her enough-
Enough!” My father hissed, stepping forward until mom wraps her fingers around his forearm and gently tug him back to her side. He reluctantly let her but kept his eyes on Fay.
We are all worried about Avery,” he gritted through his teeth in frustration.” You arguing with my son and blaming him will not make this any better. Avery wouldn’t want this.”
Fay is quiet, silent, her eyes dead and lost. It was like she hadn’t even heard him but when she responds coldly, any doubt that she hadn’t heard gets pushed down. ” Then who should I blame for turning

She pointed her fingers at me accusingly. “A beast?”

My wolf stirred uneasily beneath my flesh, threatening to come out but I kept it in its cages. The last thing I want is to unintentionally hurt the woman who had always been a second mother to me.
As I watch the woman who had always smiled at me in the past, when she hadn’t lost her memories of me, I cannot help but now stare at a stranger. A stranger whose eyes portray the cold disdain in their depths.

I stumbled back at the blow. It was like she had physically shot me and it would have been better if she did. It was like her mere words had managed to knock the very breath out of my lungs.

We can’t allow you to enter that room Fay,” he tells her gently. “Let the doctor and the nurses do their job.”
She freezes, her body turning hard like ice. She tugs her arm out of his hold harshly, hissing at him in anger. “Don’t ever touch me again!”
Xaden’s eyebrows furrowed, looking saddened by her harshness. Of course, he would. This woman had only ever treated us with kind words and smiles. And now she was not.
“Fay-
“We can’t focus on this right now,” Dad finally cut in, his voice heavy with vexation and as I look at him I notice the smokey glare in his eyes. He was communicating with someone in the pack and by his stiff posture, he was not getting any good news.
The wolves at the border caught sightings of the council,” his eyes lift to mine.” They’re here.”
