? EMERALD POV?
“Have you heard about werewolves?” Xavier asked and I pretended to be in shock as he explained what the pack and the werewolf realm was all about.
“Is that why you fought with that man?” I asked and he sighed.
“They have the habit of comparing me to my late father, and it hurts anytime someone does that he said as I sighed.
“I can’t proudly say my father was a good man Rachel, he made a lot of mistakes in his life time and hurt a lot of people. I am not proud of the man my father was, neither do I want to end up like him. It just hurts that people think my dad did a better job as the pack Alpha than me, an it hurts do f uckin much” he said and I watched him silently.
“You can’t force people to like you XAVIER, you earn it” I said and he held my hands in
his
“You think I haven’t tried to make them like me?” he asked softly. One thing I have noticed is his ability to be vunerable in my presence, the more time we spend together, the more I notice him putting his trust on me.
“Just be you, you don’t need to stress yourself if they don’t like you. After all, it is not easy to please people” I said and he smiled.
“See why I call you my joy” he said romantically and I laughed.
“Many of them share the same opinion with my father, he used to think am too weak and lenient towards the pack members. That is one of the reasons why the Elders don’t really think I can ng lucrative for the pack” he said and I k*ssed his forehead.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself and don’t think too much about it, you hurt yourself tonight don’t let that happen next time” I said and he k*ssed my forehead as we made
way towards the bathroom I sighed in annoyance. Things did not go as planned, Gabriel and I need to meet up again if we want things to be done quickly.

“Baby get me a towel” I heard his voice from inside the bathroom and a frown appeared

I need to hasten up with my plans, even if it means bringing people to destroy the pack. Destroying the pack would not be easy, considering the fact that it id one of the most powerful packs in the werewolf realm. That night as Xavier and I lay down on the bed, locked up in each other’s arms I could not get any sleep.
The next morning I left for the office to get some work done,I was still in my office

when Dad walked in.
“We need to talk” he said and I gestured for him to seat down
“Rachel….” he trailed as his eyes moved over to my face, trying to see the way I would
react.
“Go ahead father, am listening” I said and he sighed softly.
“First of all I wanna sincerely apologise for the way you walked in on Penny and I the other time. You did not deserve any of that considering the fact that you have developed trust issues after what happened with Xavier, we should have been sensible enough to come out clean, for that I sincerely apologise” he said and I stared at him as my heart ached.
“Penelope is my best friend and you are my father, the relationship makes me feel sick already dad. But then I can’t stop the both of you from genuine happiness, if you both. make each other happy then it is my duty to support you” I said and he smiled.
Thank you sweetheart” he said and I smiled.
“How are you? and the kids” he asked in concern.
I stopped typing in my laptop as I stared at dad calmly.
“I am fine, I have never been more fine father. It gladdens my heart to see him in so much pain” I said and he raised his eyebrows.
“For a moment I thought you forgot everything Xavier put you through. You became so clingy that I got scared” Dad said while staring at me.
“You have no reasons to worry about me, I still have my head in the game and it is not leaving anytime soon” I said and dad chuckled.
“What do you intend to do about your son’s?” Dad asked in concern.
“Nothing, Damien will get over it fast because up until now he doesn’t know Xavier is his biological father. I am more concerned about Derrick who has lived with his father since birth. What if my son gets to hate me after finding out about what I did for revenge” I said and dad sighed.
“Hee will be hurt at first, but with time he will get used to it” dad said and I smirked.
We talked about random things for a while and the knock on the door interrupted our conversation and Gabriel Fernandez walked in..
“Fernandez” Father said as they shook hands professionally.

“Sorry am late” he said as he sat down on the empty chair at the front of my desk.
“You wanted to talk about invading Xavier’s pack” he asked smiling.
“Invading? I don’t like the sound of that” Dad said and I sighed.
“I can’t keep up with the love game anymore father, Gabriel thinks it is best if we link up with other people whom Carlos has hurt and bring the pack to the ground” I said and dad turned to Gabriel.
“You of all people should know we can’t just rise up and start looking for enemies. The red blood pack is a powerful pack for goodness sake, it will take the best of soldiers to bring them down” dad said and I turned to Gabriel.
“What do you think Fernandez ?” I asked and he smirked.
“I am with the opinion that we go ahead with our plans Rachel, time waits for no one, the more we wait the more the pack grows” he said and that seem to make more sense.
Gabriel was right, the more we wait the more powerful they become.
? XAVIER POV?
“Xavier” Lina said excitedly as I made my way into her chambers.
“You did not knock Alpha XAVIER, what if I was n*ked” she said teasingly.
“I apologise for badging without notice” I said and she smiled.
“Anything for you Alpha, you of all people should know I easily forgive when it comes to you” she said as she tried to run her fingers on my arms.
“Stop it Lina” I said and took two steps away from her.
“Why do you act like we are not married Alpha Xavier ? it hurts me, it breaks my heart each time you choose Rachel over me. You have no idea what that woman is capable of she said and I sighed.
“She ruined our marriage !” she said angrily.
“I won’t really call this a relationship even before Rachel came into the picture, we were toxic and definitely not meant for each other. We could not do anything without fight like our lives depended on it. We couldn’t even have S*x like a normal couple…” I trailed.
“And that is because you couldn’t get over your Ex fiance, the same woman that killed
Chapter 53
your father!” she bursted angrily.
“Stop it Lina that is enough” I said and she wiped the tears that rolled out of her eyes.
“For five years….Five good years I waited patiently for you to get over Emerald Right when I thought we were understanding each other, Rachel came into the picture” she said why cleaning the tears that stream down her eyes.
“We have never been compatible and I told you before I married you that I just needed a Luna to the pack, we are nothing serious and you know it. I am sorry if at some point I made you feel…” I said.
“Bad? You always had complains when I went on luxirous trips, I never got the chance to live my dream life’ she said and I stared at her in disbelief.
“Lina you spend money on luxirous trips and beauty products You neglected the pack and which even resulted to abusing my son physically. I don’t want to be a part of this anymore” I said and dropped the divorce papers on the table.
“I knew this is when you tell me you are no longer interested. You think Rachel can handle this pack the way I do?” she asked mockingly
“Do you even love Rachel or you are with her because she reminds you of Emerald” she asked and that hit me.
“That is non of your business, I will be asking my lawyer to pick the divorce papers once it’s signed” I said and tried to leave her room.
“I will not sign then” she said with finality in her tone.
“Lina…” I trailed.
“I will not sign these papers, Alpha I cannot loose you” she said and our eves met
for brief second before I looked away.
“I will rather die than see Rachel laugh last” she said and for some reason I knew Lina meant what she just said.
“Lina, you must sign those papers or we would take it the hard way” I said and she stared at me without a single word
