Storming away from the balcony into her chambers nadir seats in her arm chair fuming with anger, she almost blew it off out there succumbing to her anger but caged it all in and luckily Jason left just before all hell was let loose,
"What do they take me for? A puppet alpha?"
Nadir had never liked the idea of having a council she always though it to be a dumb thing, she felt a council was nothing but just a waste of time why would she ask couple of dumb old people for permission before making decisions?,
She makes up her mind immediately that she will not condone such an attitude from them. She has been Luna for what a week and they've started taking steps,
To hell with them all, she'll just have to show them what she's capable of and wait.
Stepping into a car Jason relaxes in on his back unable to get the icy cold image of nadir away from his mind all he tried to do was explain what he saw and try to help out but nadir wouldn't hear of it, he still finds her actions surprising she threatened and lashed out at him,
He has always been a friend to her he basically nurtured nadir till she grew to this extent but now just because of a random man she lashes out at him, yes she is no longer the child he grew with not the child whom he sang poems with she's now alpha to a pack wielding total power but his emotions were hurt and his pride trampled on,
He has always had feelings for nadir but never have he thought of expressing his affections for her, he was totally dumbstruck when she walked into the hall of the council proclaiming xyla as her mate, he was thrown off my feet for a while thinking how and when she found out?
Being the closest person to nadir and her father Damien he had always felt it was an obligation to protect nadir at all times,he had a pact to always guide nadir and protect her at all cost but this same nadir wants nothing to do with him,
Rolling down the glass to the car cold breeze attacks his nostrils still hurt he can't believe he was told off just like a common gamma by nadir, she didn't think twice before claiming xyla as her mate she didn't bother to ask for his consent he had to find out in public just like everyone else everything hurts him,
He had to watch his childhood crush claim a total stranger as her mate right in front of the council which can also count as the public, he felt embarrassed acting all scared before her but what could he have done she commanded respect from him not as nadir but as the Luna.
"Where to sir?"
He bolts back to reality suddenly become aware of his surroundings
"Home"
"Anything wrong sir?"
"No Collins just drive me home"
"Just that you hardly go home"
"I will be having constant drives home"
"Anything wrong?"
"You seem to want anything or everything to go wrong"
"I find it odd that you want to go hiking and now you tell me you would have constant drives home. How about the pack house?"
For the first time in his entire life Jackson gave gratitude to whatever make him think of buying a house away from the pack, he felt he needed to own a home of his with nadir back then and ended up buying a bungalow few kilometers away from the pack house,
But now he has to leave the packhouse for the opposite reason. Now Nadir has a mate he would hover around her like a bee hovering around the hive and he isn't ready to watch that awfully painful sight.
"Can you drive a little faster?, I need to have a quick cold shower"
"Yes sir "
*****
"Father!!!, father!!!, Dad!!!! Come on dad get up it's time for the coronation you can't lay in the sun this way it's scorching out here"
Nadir taps her dad over and over but he doesn't answer after failed attempts she pulls him to see her father face cold and lifeless,
"No!!, This isn't happening it's all a dream, it can't be Ill wake once it's all over he isn't dead I felt him here to speak with mum just few minutes ago"
She hears horror filled laughs behind her back turning she sees a heap of crowds behind her all mocking, sneering and laughing at her some threw stones while other booed and sneered at her,
She gasps in shock seeing her own father's council at the front line sneering at her, she calls out for them but they do nothing standing there like she's nothing to them,
"Help he's not moving help me everyone, anyone please help" she yells out hoping for someone to reach out but no one loves, just the constant sneers but more rocks and stones are thrown at her,
Unable to withhold it anymore she bursts into tears,unable to defend herself or fight back she stands trying to lift her father's lifeless and now cold stone body from the ground
"Where do you think you are going to go?"
A voice echos thunderously among the crowd, nadir looks up to see Brian a council member,
"He needs to be treated Brian I need to move him quick and fast" she pleads in between tears
"You would do no such thing, you are controlled by us and I order for you to leave him there" he says grinning with an awful smirk,
Nadir slumps collapsing to the ground sweating profusely, she looks down to see blood dripping down on her body she has been bleeding from the stones thrown at her, she tries moving but sees herself bound by ropes and controlled by the council members, her eyes darting everywhere as she cries in pain she sees Jason and Levi
Happy at a ray of hope she screams towards them for help but they both look away from her at once,
Hopeless and weak nadir slumps to the ground once more giving up staring at her father's lifeless body, she hears firm footsteps draw up behind her, she tries looking back but is pulled to the front by the councils,
They all bow to whoever is behind her, the person pulls her by the hair causing her to whince in pain whoever this is there is one thing that could be drawn immediately he withholds all power,
Nadir screams in pain as her shoulders are slit with knife
"Get away from me"
She shouts from her sleep pushing away a huge weight off her, frightened she turns on the light switch by her bed stand, she switches into defense mode leaping off the bed to the ground halting In her tracks
"Xyla"
Rising from the floor, he dusts nothing off his clothes straighten his t-shirt to it's formal stance,
"I'm sorry I didn't know you were there I just"
"Hush,no need for explanations it was quite fun you throwing me off" she giggles flight looking so adorable with his dimples digging in dwwp to his cheek,
Nadir felt her bones melt and her stomach flutter filled with happiness, she stares at xyla with pure affection not fainted nor biased,
"Are you hurt anywhere? You fell pretty bad" nadir checks his arms twisting and bending slightly hoping not to have injured him,
Xyla whinces slightly as she turns his wrists, she traces her fingers on the spot and he winces the more,
"Is it twisted?" Nadir asks looking worried and embarrassed she had no reason to kick him off that way
"It doesn't hurt that much just a little, don't get all worked up it will heal in about five minutes"
"Five minutes of toture" nadir exclaimed, just because of her own mistake she had her mate get hurt, her mood switches from defense down to saddened,
Xyla notices the swift change in nadir, he withdraws his hands not wanting her to her worried he waves into the sky back and forth
"See it doesn't hurt that bad"
"Stop being ridiculous, I know it does"
Nadir pulls xyla hands closer rubbing on the hurt ankle, her soft fingers brushing against his skin makes his inner demon awaken as he begins to get turned on,
Hastily he withdraws his hands from her touch not wanting to go further with the idea his wolf begins to craft in his head he sees nadir confused look,
"It's all healed up"
He waves more, faster into the air nadir jumps a little to catch his hands bringing them down,
"Stop acting like a kid"
"Why? Do I look too cute?" Xyla asks smiling flirty as nadir blushes hard,
Pulling her by her hair he grazes his hands on her shoulder,
Nadir tenses up, this touch feels so familiar but why?.
