Lily

Chapter eighty one

Xavier's Pov

I felt nothing but numbness as I watched helplessly as my Lily fell to the ground unconscious. That's when I let my wolf take over,a large roar escaping me as i broke through the chains and turned to face my brother.

I sensed my eyes turn bright, blazing red as my wolf took control from me, and the room fell silent as they sensed my wolf's presence.

I looked over to Thomas.

"Take my mate and get out of here, "I ordered him, and he nodded as he walked over to my mate's limp body.

The guards didn't hesitate before they moved out Thomas's way. My anger flared as I saw Thomas pick up the feeble figure of my mate.

Lily didn't deserve any of this.

This whole thing started with my brother and Mirabella. My mate had just been dragged into because of my heartless brother.

This was my fault, too,though.

I should have protected Lily better . All of this could have been prevented if I had protected her. If I had,she wouldn't be unconscious right now.

She would be safe.

"Angry are we Xavier? You always did have such a short temper,maybe that's why mum and dad see you for what you truly are,"he said.

"A monster."

The words left his lips slowly, and time seemed to stop as I processed his words. Those two words were what I had been hearing for the most parts of my life,and I was awfully sick and tired of hearing him.

Xander was the monster here, not me.

He was the heartless one, and he deserved to die for all that he had done.

And I would be the one to finish him off.

I quickly shifted into my large wolf.  My form towered over the cowering warriors that belonged to my brother's pack.

I wanted to spare them because I knew that they had just  been doing what they had been ordered to do,but in that moment, I recognised that they were also partly to blame for my mate being unconscious and hurt.

So I began to tear them apart.

My claws savagely dug into their flesh,tearing them apart as they screamed in agony, and their blood stained the already filthy ground of the room.

Once they were finally dead,I turned to my brother.

He didn't look scared as he took in my wolf form,he only chuckled before he quickly shifted into his own wolf.

His wolf was a dark auburn colour,his figure only an inch or two smaller than my own.

I got into a fighting stance,ready to rip him apart.

We circled each other,both of our ears drawn back and pointed as we let pit threatening growls and snarls at each other.

I waited for my brother to attack, and when he did,I surprised him by running into the nearby wall of the room. I bele the weak wall down,leaving a gaping hole, and I had a clear exit out of the pack house and outside where the two packs gathered around us.

I wanted them to witnessed my brother's demise.

Xander caught up to me, and I quickly tackled him to the ground, surprising him. My claws scratched him, and I prepared myself to bite his neck,but he was quick to push me off of him as he got back onto his paws.

He lunged at me, and I wasn't quick enough to dodge him. I fell to the ground as Xander continuesly bite and  scratch me.

I tried to fight back,but I was still a bit weak from being injected with the wolfsbane from earlier.

When I did get off the ground,my brother threw my back into a nearby tree. My back hit it violently as I collapsed to the ground,my breath ragged and my chest heaving with exhaustion.

My brother gave me a satisfied growl before turning back towards the onlookers of the two packs.

My pack looked at me,defeat in their eyes and I knew they were disappointed.

I could tell my brother was speaking to his pack through his mind link. Xander's guards started to grab the members of my pack,hauling them away and I saw a large group of them walk towards Thomas,who was still holding my mate.

I looked at Lily.

Her beautiful blue eyes hidden from me as her eyelids remained shut and her body lay still.

She needed me.

I got off the ground, willing my body regain strengthen.  My brother didn't notice me as I charged towards him,teeth bared.

It was too late when he turned around and saw me because I  had already attacked him.

My teeth sunk into his neck as I ripped his head clean off of his body,and he fell to the floor.

Xander was dead.....
