PUT YOU IN A REAL DANGER
“Can’t I stay?” Fenja’s voice was barely a whisper, she cupped Xaden’s face and saw his expression rippled with emotions.
“Didn’t you say that you want to protect Jaxon?” Xaden leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Then you have to protect our child. I will be at ease if I know that you are fine.”
Tears streamed down Fenja’s cheeks, because she didn’t know what to feel right now. “Please, tell me… what is your plan?” Fenja asked, begging him. “What kind of plan do you have?”
Fenja was desperate to know. She couldn’t be at ease without knowing how dangerous the danger that Xaden was facing.
Not to mention with the revelation of the involvement of the black magic user, it only made the whole thing became even more complicated.
“Please, tell me, or I will not be at ease. I know that I will not help with anything, but at the very least, I know what you are doing.”
Xaden stared at Fenja for a long moment, which made her want to beg him even more, because he refused to talk, but thankfully before the alpha’s silence drove her to insanity, Xaden finally spoke. His voice was steady and casual, as if he was talking about the weather.
“I will let the enemy enter the pack ground.”
For a second longer Fenja didn’t believe with what she heard. She blinked her eyes in confusion. “What? But… why? You will put the pack member in danger, right?”
“I can’t tell you more than that.” Xaden glanced at his arm. “Because the king will know if I up to something.”
Fenja followed his line of sight and immediately knew what he meant. Because of the runes, the witch and by the extension was the king, would know if Xaden had every intention to kill the royal. That was what Xaden explained to Fenja about the black magic in him.
Fenja couldn’t help it, she took his hand and traced her fingers
his arm, where the runes were.
“Do you know how to get rid of it? Maybe Arya knows about it, she is a healer, they have magic too.” Fenja lifted her head and looked at Xaden with expectation. “Have you told her?”
“She already knew about this and no, she doesn’t have a solution for the meantime.” Xaden held Fenja’s gaze and he loved the way she was staring at him. He had denied the affection for a long time and put both of them in misery. “If by cutting my arm I could get rid of the runes, I would have done it long time ago.”
ja flinched when she heard that, that was too harsh for her, but that was also the truth. Xaden would have done everything that he could only to have it remove from his skin.
“I shouldn’t have brought you into this mess.” Xaden lifted his hand and caressed Fenja’s cheek, as she leaned against his touch. “I am sorry.”
This was the first time for Xaden to admit his wrongdoings for what he had done to Fenja.
“It will be better for you to stay in your pack. Whatever problem you have there, will be better than this.”
Fenja thought about that and what Xaden said could be true, because she had gotten used with the way her parents treated her, there was not something new about it and while they didn’t like her, they wouldn’t actively try to kill her.
However now, with the fact that Fenja was on the way of the king’s plan to put his daughter as the luna for this pack, her life and her son’s life would be in a danger.
If the king had killed Xaden’s destined mate before, what made him stop from killing her now? She was not that important.
“You are important for me…” Xaden said in a tight voice. “I don’t want you to be important for me, but I can’t

PUT YOU IN A REAL DANGER
Fenja scoffed. “Thank you, you can finally say something nice for once” She was not flattered, but she liked the sound of it.
“You are, Fenja.” Xaden leaned over and kissed her lips. “Maybe because of that I was drawn to you… That night, it was not a random for me.”
Fenja was surprised with the sudden kiss, but she asked anyway about his last statement. “What do you mean?” “I saw you.” Xaden then told her that he came to River Creek pack that night to deliver a secret information that alpha Neil wanted, since he was around.
It was the festival night where the streets filled with many people and all of them were happy, they drink until they got drunk and ate until their stomach was full, but Xaden was trying to find a way to shake the king off his back.
He knew about the king’s plan to put his people in his pack as his luna.
“And that was when I saw you… you were dancing without a shred of care to the world. And I was thinking how great it would be if I could be that free. I saw freedom when I saw you dancing in the town square.”
“That was the first time I got drunk, I think you mistook me there,” Fenja grimaced.
In another way, Xaden said that the idea to impregnate a woman to get away from the king’s plan was because he saw her.
“No, I think I want you even before I realize it.”
And because of that, he followed Alec when he put her in one of the empty rooms in the pack house and left her alone.
“That’s a shitty thing I did to you, but I have to admit that I don’t regret it until I put you in a real danger like now.”

Was this the confession that Fenja always wanted? She wanted him to care for her and he had admitted now. He cared for her. He wanted her. He had been denying the mate bond between them and it put them through hell.
However, the revelation on what actually happened, the grand scheme of the king, had taken away Fenja’s happiness.
This was darker than what she imagined, this was crueler than any of her nightmare. How could the king do that to his own son?
“Princess Arlene…” Fenja bit her lip. “She should be… your sister, right?” A sister from different mother, that was what Xade told her.
“The king doesn’t care about that. He wants to bring back the old tradition. To keep the blood within the family.” Xaden moved closer to Fenja, he cupped her face, as he could see the panic in her eyes. “You don’t need to worry about anything. Go to the Black Moon Pack and stay there until everything settles.”
“How long?” Fenja felt like a fish that was out of water. She breathed raggedly, as panic gripped her heart. The pain in her chest returned in full force with the though that she was going to lose Xaden. “How long it will take? A day? Two days? A month? A year?”
Unfortunately, Xaden didn’t have the answer for that. “I don’t know.”
Fenja was not a violent type, she had never wished anyone to die, not even Shena, though she had attacked her sister a few times. Only Shena could bring the worse in her.
Yet, Fenja felt she was the worse person when she said the next things to Xaden.
“Kill her…” Fenja bit her lip. “Kill her… kill the princess.” She shook her head, as if by doing so she could get rid the idea and take back what she said. “I heard some rumors about the princess. She is not a nice person… I heard… I heard she kill the man, whom she spent the night with…”
Called her ridiculous, but if… if Xaden had to spend the night with her, because he couldn’t reject the princess, since the black magic prevented him to do anything to harm her… then what if…
Suddenly, Xaden laughed, and Fenja was startled to hear the sound of it. This must be the first time for her to hear him laughing with mirth, not the empty laugh he showed to his enemy.
