? XAVIER POV?
“You are getting married to Rachel?” Aunt Maggie asked me as she stared at me in disbelief.
“I’m getting married to Rachel Aunt, why do you look so surprised?” I asked and she composed herself.
“I apologise sincerely for looking like I do not care about the love that you both share, the same love that has proved to be stronger than anything else in the world” she said with a smile on her face.
“Good” I said and turned to the file on the table.
“Don’t you think the kids should be here during the wedding? It is a union between you and their mother, and also an opportunity to tell them the truth about what happened in the past” she said smiling.
“That will not be necessary, we can always tell them after the wedding. The pack is not safe” I said and she took a deep breath in and out.
“Why will you even think that the pack is unsafe? you have you grew up in this pack Xavier” she said and I could see how unhappy she truly was.
“Growing up in the pack does not make it safe in anyway. You are not a stranger here and am sure you have seen how everything happened. Dad made a lot of mistakes which has come back to bite us countless times …” I trailed.
“That does not mean he never loved you, that does not mean he never cared about the pack” she said and I chuckled bitterly.
“Let’s not even go there” I said and she frowned.
“You of all people should know how terrible Dad has been, supporting him is like turning a blind eye to all the bad things he did to people!” I bursted angrily and she swallowed down nothing.
“He did what he had as the Alpha of the pack” she said and I stared at her, was this her real perspective to the actions of my father? Does she really support him for the bad things he did? I wonder quietly.
“I know you think your father was a bad man, but if you really know Carlos, you would know he tried his best for the pack” she said with tears in her eyes.
“I am not disputing the fact that he tried his best for the pack, what I don’t understand

is your support for him!” I said in anger.
“Father did a lot of bad things to innocent people, he is one of the reasons Jayden rebelled against the pack. He ruined Gabriel Fernandez and his family, I will not stand- here and listen to you shower praises on a toxic man like that …” I bursted angrily.
“So now am the bad person?” she asked in anger.
“Do not put words in my mouth” I said standing up from my executive chair.
“If you can forgive Emerald, why do you find it so hard to forgive Carlos?” she asked in
anger.
“I have raised you like my biological son, I nutured you into the fine man you are today. Not for once did I allow you feel the absence of a mother, it pains me that you would take the advice of that woman and not listen to me” she said, and I stared at her silently.
“Comparing Emerald to that man, is the sickest thing I have heard anyone do. I would forgive and pretend this conversation never take place” I said and she took a deep breath in and out before making her way out of my office in annoyance.
I can’t believe the nerves of this woman, how can anyone in their right senses even say something like that.
What aunt Maggie just did in my office raised my suspicion about her, Jax walked into my office with some important files.
“I was able to contact the finance manager, and I got a list of all the transactions you wanted” he said and placed the files on my table.
“Jax” I called just before he could leave the office.
“Boss” he said calmly.
“Have a sit” I said and he sat down before me comfortably.
“Is everything okay?” he asked in concern.
“Everything is not okay. How are you?” I asked and he stared at me in shock, Probably wondering why I would ask him such a question, when I have never cared about how they cope in the park.
All I ever cared about is how to make the pack grew in size and stature, I honestly don’t give a f uck about how they are doing individually.
“I am fine Alpha Xavier” he said and I took a deep breath in and out.
“You have been working in this pack for as long as I can remember, I believe you must、

hold some level of resentment towards the leadership of the pack” I said, and he stared at me calmly.
“I hold no grudges towards the leadership of this pack” he said and I chuckled bitterly
“I worked with someone who did nothing but shower me praises through out our years of experience together in the pack, only for him to fight to the death just to take over the pack from me, and bring me to shame. What I need now is your honesty Jax, no matter how painful it will be to me” I said and he bowed.
“I have never liked the Red blood pack…” he trailed calmly.
“After all, it has brought nothing but intense pain to my family” he said and I realised he was talking about his own immediate family
“When I grew up as a young boy, I try to understand the environment and the people around me. Life wasn’t a bed of roses. My father was a gentleman and the pack soldier, my mother was the pack maid who worked as an Omega during your father’s regime” he said calmly and I stared at him in shock.
“Some nights I would hear them yell at each other and mom’s painful screams as they fought endlessly. It was one night that I finally heard what it was that they were arguing about ….” he said and I stared at him in shock.

**{FLASH BACK} ****
“I will not let you die due to your inability to listen to the words I speak Andre !” Jax mother screamed as she cried.
ur
“You want me to listen to the words you speak, when you are constantly abused by that monster that calls himself Alpha!” Andre (Jax’s father) screamed in anger as he hit all the contents on the table making everything shatter I pieces.
“What do you expect me to do? Do you want him to kill us? Carlos is a cruel man Andre!” she said as her voice raised in higher octave.
Jax hid behind the door as he listened with rapt attention.
“And if we do not confront him, it will only give him enough reasons to continue with his evil ways” Andre said and Jax’s mother just continued crying.
“He continues with his actions because we are afraid to confront him” he said as she
cried.
“Andre …Andre !” she screamed as he ran out of the house.
“Dad!” Jax screamed as he came out of hiding place.

“We need to stop your papa son, stay right here I will be right back” she said and ran out of the house.
Jax walked around the room as he tried not to worry about his mom and dad, but his mind could not comprehend the gravity of what was about to happen.
It was quiet late in the night, but he wore his room sl*ppers and followed in the same route that his mom took.
He was able to catch up with her. But what he saw, left him hiding behind the bushes. His father is in an heated argument with Carlos Jason.
“You will say no such thing to the rest of the pack, I am your Alpha and am sure your wife understands her duty towards this pack” Carlos said mockingly only for Andre to punch him over the face.
Things got heated up as they fought tirelessly, Carlos used the advantage of being an Alpha wolf as he ripped off Andre’s heart in front of his family.
Jax opened his mouth to scream but words refused to leave his throat, his mom screamed in pain as she ran over to Andre’s lifeless b*dy and tried to wake him up, which resulted in her entire b*dy covered in blood and nature took it as the best time to water the ground.
Carlos stared at her and walked into the darkness like none of that happened in front of him, Jax ran over to his mother.
“Dad….” he called as they both cried.
“He killed him…he killed him son, Carlos Jason killed him” she said, as the words choked down her throat and they both burst out crying.
****{ BACK TO PRESENT }****
I stared at him in shock as he continued to explain in detail, my eyes stung with unshed tears at the numerous of bad things my father had done in the past.
“That was not all, he continued to sleep with my mother against her will. That is how we got my youngest sister” he said revealing the deepest secret.
I did not know how to react to the fact that I had a step sister that I knew nothing about, a step sister that was concieved through abuse. How did this people bring themselves to even love and raise her like their own.
“Mother have gone through a lot in the hands of your father and his cruel act. She is currently on a wheelchair, and has been unable to use her legs for as long as I can remember” he said and I just stared him speechlessly.

“I….I apologise” I said and he gave a nod.
“You are not a bad man Alpha Xavier, but I have come to understand that you will need more than a good heart to rule these people.” he said.
“Most of them see me as a failure, It is not an easy job being the Alpha” I said and he nodded in understanding.
“I totally understand, but it is time to make everything right. Especially the wrong things Carlos did when he was still alive” Jax said and my mind went back to what Emerald told me.
“You are right, I want to meet your mom” I said and he stared at me in shock.
“But….” he trailed.
“I’m serious” I said and he stood up.
“This way” he said and led me towards the door.
The ride to their house was a quiet one. We got down from the car, and Jax led me towards the door.
“Good evening bro” the young girl said and stared at us in shock.
“Alpha Xavier” she said as she bowed in respect, I looked back at Jax and he gave a nod in agreement.
She is really my sister
“I want to see your mother” I said as we made our way inside the house. Their house was not rich or extravagant, just a normal house for middle class people in the pack.
“What should I offer you, Alpha” Jax asked calmly.
“Water” I said as I sat down quietly.
The young girl came back to the sitting room, helping her mother.
“Alpha Xavier” she said immediately she noticed me in the sitting room.
“It is a pleasure to meet you ma’am” I said, and she gave me a small smile although her eyes showed the level of hurt she had in her heart.
“Jax told me everything that has happened in the past, and I wanted to meet you physically and apologise for everything that happened, for the pains my father caused you and your family. I want to make amends, I want to make things right” I said and she
cried.

“You know I have waited for years, for someone to come and apologise to us for what Carlos put us through. But then, no one showed up, we had plans to ruin the pack Xavier but in the end, that would make us no different from your father” she said and I stared at her in shock.
