"Does this have to do with what happens to Indiana or something to do with me being Emilio's daughter?"
"The latter."
"Ah."

"Is it something I should know by today?"
"If it isn't you could always just tell me some other time."
'I'm guessing it's not something that can wait,' Madeline thought to herself the minute she noticed the change in Xavier's expression.
'Is it bad news? Is that why he's hesitating?'
'Alphas don't hesitate, what am I doing?' Xavier asked, scolding himself.
He fought back a growl.
'I should've told her already.'
'Why do I feel this… feeling?'

Guilt?
Remorse?
Or… was it…
'No, I never am that way.'
'I'm never…'
