My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret) by Demiah13

Xade’s pov

She’s burning up!” I yelled in panic, looking at my older brother who matches my own worry. Xaden touches her forehead and curses under his breath, his eyes swimming with fear and worry.

“She’s feverish. We need to settle her on the bed.” he looks at the bed that still had the bloody sheets and moves into action, tearing them off the bed until there is no longer the sight of blood.

I move quickly to place Avery down, but also join her on the bed, unsure of what to do as she groans in pain, her eyes barely open. Not too long ago she looked well enough to stand, and now….and now I don’t know what was happening.

My eyes blurred with tears. Fuck. ” What should I do Xaden?” I croaked out helplessly, not liking the sight of Avery in pain. My wolf whimpers in my head, growing restless and anxious.

Xaden looks just as helpless as I am, looking at Avery in concern. I try to search through the bond, trying to figure out if there was any place in her body that pained too but the bond hasn’t fodged enough yet før me to feel this much.

Avery’s face twitched in discomfort and my heart clenches in pain. ” Is there any pain anywhere else?” I asked shakily, grabbing a hold of her hand and squeezing it.

She felt so hot. I drop my forehead lightly on her chest where her heart beats quickly. My tears soaked her shirt.

Yes,” she whimpered and I lift my head, searching her eyes, feeling

“Where? Tell me where?” I urged, my eyes roaming her body.

She swallowed, trying to open her eyes. My poor baby. I cupped her cheek and even in pain she leans into my touch, sighing. “My neck, my veins, everywhere.”

She clutched me. “Everywhere Xade,” she whimpered and my heart broke. I clutch her to me, crying out loud to my brother who stood watching us helplessly.

“Tell me what to do to make it stop!” I roared. ” Please!” My heart feels like it’s ripping in two. I can’t lose her. I can’t lose her. I can’t lose them. Please tell me!”

You should ask your father for help.” A sudden voice comes from the doorway. Henry. ” He should know. Did he not tell you that his sister mated with a human?”

What?” Xaden asked in confusion.

I peeled away from Avery a little to stare at Henry who is leaning against the doorframe. “My father doesn’t have a sister.” I growled low.

How dare he come here and spill lies while my mate is in pain and probably dying in my bed! I flashed my eyes at him, warning that I had no time for jokes and games right now.

Henry sighed, looking at Xaden and me.” Of course he wouldn’t have told you, Susan after all betrayed him.”

Xaden’s fists clenched at his sides. “Like my little brother just said, our father doesn’t have a sister!” he took a strong step forward, one that warned Henry that we had no time for lies.

Henry smiled. “I am not lying pups. If you don’t believe me, ask your father who Susan Archer is.”

Xaden’s fists clenched even more. “Why should we believe a word you say? You knew Avery was pregnant and didn’t tell my brother or me.”

Henry rolled his eyes. “I see you’re going to hold this over my forever. But to answer your question, you shouldn’t. But I’d tell you this.” he eyed Avery on the bed and I shifted in a way to block her from his sight.

He grinned.” Susan is your father’s little sister. Twin sister in fact. But the poor girl was fated with a human who happened to be a hunter of our kind. She was stupid and made a stupid decision in turning against your father so the hunter would allow her to mark him. They ambushed in the middle of the night and it caused the death of your grandmother and father.”

“Your father hadn’t known the human came from a hunter’s lineage and allowed her to sneak off with him. He blames himself for what happened, blames himself even more for allowing her to escape for her crimes. If you do not believe me, ask him yourself.”

I don’t believe a word that comes out of your shitty-

Xaden,” I cut in softly, hearing the small whimpers leaving Avery’s lips. I had no choice but to believe anything that could help her.

Xaden turns around to look at me and I nod. “We need dad. We need to ask him.” I said, holding Avery tight to me as her whimpers grow a little louder. “Anything to save her.” I whispered, bringing my eyes to search her face.
