And since that made him a powerful being, it made things all the more difficult for Xavier to defeat him.
Now why would Xavier need to defeat him when he was his alpha and he was a mere beta?
Because it was how one became an alpha.
They'd have to challenge each other to a duel. The victor would become the alpha, and the vanquished wouldn't be given any mercy and would be killed mercilessly by the newly appointed alpha.
Now, with that, one would wonder… if Xavier became the alpha, how was Emilio still alive?
Surely Xavier would've killed him during the duel and the rest would be history, right?
Wrong.
It was why he blamed himself for what happened to Madeline.
Rewinding back centuries, Xavier and Miles were engaged in combat.
Xavier was close to losing, but just in the nick of time, he came up with a strategy and outsmarted Miles.
