Chapter 236: XADEN’S LAST MEMORY OF HIS MOTHER

Xaden dropped down to his knees instantly, and his entire being shook for a while.

And then he became frozen.

Like he was unable to look, his eyes were just locked on her head on the spikes/

It was like all further joy that he had had earlier on vanished.

Like they had never existed. Like this morning, he had not whistled like there had been no smiles on his face.

He did not see her body anywhere; only her head, and then her king-black raven hair hung from her head.

"What is going on?" Erik asked from behind.

He had just caught on to them.

He stopped short. "Fuck."

There was serene silence.

The horses that had approached with the other wolves went quiet.

As if they, too, were acknowledging the gravity of the loss.

"How did this happen? How did you find out?" Erik asked.

Xaden was barely even listening to them.

It was like he was lost in his little world.

"We received word from the men securing the wall," Damian said. "I came to investigate, and I found her."

"What about her body?" Erik asked.

"We found her on the eastern part of the wall," Damian said. "The men had seen the body earlier and had no idea who she was. She is being taken away now."

"I warned you about her." Eleanor had said. "What am I here for you if you won’t seek me out to help you?"

"Marie, do not turn me down the way you do. And moreover, she is stronger than you." He said. "You couldn’t even accurately find out who had tried to kill me."

Eleanor involuntarily jerked back in disbelief at what he said, and then she cleared her throat and said, "She is stronger because she uses dark magic. You have no idea what it is. Dark magic is evil, and once taken, it asks for something in return. I love you, that’s why I will never use dark magic."

"If you loved me, you would have gotten all of this over with, " he said rudely. You don’t care about me or anyone else."

She blinked in shock. "How can you say something like that, Xaden? This isn’t how I raised you."

"I’m not a child anymore." He told her.

She looked at him, hurt at his words.

"That boy you raised is gone." He said angrily.

He was upset with her.

It was partly her fault.

She had served him false information, and he had gone ahead to disgrace himself in front of everyone.

"You don’t mean what you’re saying." She shook her head. "Stay away from Marie."

"I am an Alpha, not some half-dead child anymore. Leave me alone." Xaden said.
