Chapter 73 Death of a Wolf

Xavier’s wolf died early in the morning. Thea was awake for it. She didn’t want to bother the triplets, so she laid in their arms as they slept, tears flowing. She knew it wasn’t Zoe dying, but it felt like it was. She kept asking if she was still there.

Even though she heard his father shout out all the heinous crimes Xavier committed, she felt the urge to go to him and comfort him as he slowly died in agony. She wondered if he regretted any of his actions. He didn’t seem to yesterday when he attacked her.

She knew he couldn’t be allowed to have the power of an Alpha. He destroyed everything he touched. The loss of any life was sad, though. Life was precious. What a waste.

Thea needed to know why he was evil. Was he always bad, or did he go bad? How do people decide that hurting others is what they should do? Or are they born like that? She didn’t want to believe that. She needed to talk to Xavier before he passed.

Alaric woke up first, and she put on a brave face.

Alaric kissed his mark and ran his hand over her hip.

“How are you, my love?” he said, voice deep and sexy.

“Mmm. Better now,” she said. She ran her fingers through his dark hair. “I want to mark you, but I don’t want it to be tainted with whatever’s going on with Xavier. Do you have any thoughts on that?”

“I want you to mark me as soon as you feel up to it,” Alaric said. “I can tell your canines still hurt.”

Thea nodded. “I don’t think I can use them right now.”

“I understand, my love.” He caressed her cheek above her canine

“There’s something I need to do,” Thea said.

“What?” Alaric said.

“I need to talk to Xavier before he dies. How do I make that happen?”

“We’d need to talk to his father. We can ask his brother at school today. I’m sure they’d let you.”

Thea nodded. Alaric caressed her, planting little kisses everywhere he could reach, until Conri and Kaiser woke up.

They got ready and went to school. Thea didn’t know her way around, but it didn’t matter since they had all their classes together. The triplets transferred into her third hour class to be with her nonstop.
