Xade’s pov
Dad flinches at my threat, his eyes softening into one of despair, his gaze glancing from mom to me, before he begins slowly. “Wolfsbane. The yellow one, you have to consume it.”
The yellow wolfsbane is forbidden to consume since it is, even more, deadlier than the normal one. This makes it rarer to find since the council made it their mission to kill any they have come across so our enemies won’t use it against us.
“Where can I get it?” I asked tightly with urgency. I didn’t care about the risk of consuming it or that it was forbidden to consume.
Dad looked at Xaden and then back at me. ” I don’t know. It’s not an easy plant to come across.
My jaw hurt from how much I gritted it. ” Then how did your sister come across it?” I asked sarcastically. She must have found it somewhere.
His jaw set. ” My sister was mated with a werewolf hunter who had these plants grown in their greenhouse-

Kaylee stops, face reddening as she notices my naked state and turns around abruptly. “I’m sorry-
“It’s fine.” I cut in, more eager to know what she was about to say even though she interrupted us. What did you come here for?”
Kaylee’s back is still facing me thankfully as she continues.” There’s a

Kaylee stiffens and Xaden growls. ” Watch it,” he warns dad who looks at him sharply, studying him before his eyes widen slightly with understanding.
“That is true,” Kaylee whispered. ” But it hadn’t been my choice to be brought up as such,” She lets out a strained breath and continues. ” My dad, he had some of those plants in a warehouse downtown. He burnt it down when the council caught wind of where he was hiding.”
A sudden clapping sound echoes down the hall. ” Bravo little rogue,” Henry chuckle, his voice nearing. “Do you know if any of the plants survived?”
I stiffen, only remembering that Henry was here and part of the council. He would never let us get that wolfsbane.
Kaylee grows rigid, as if now also realizing that we had a council member in our midst. ” Oh don’t look so scared girl, did you forget who saved you?” he snorted, revealing himself and leaned against the doorframe, his amused eyes assessing the room.
She
“All this for a human girl,” He hummed and settled his eyes on me. must really be special.” For once his voice wasn’t mocking or taunting, instead, it was filled with intrigue. ” Are you really willing to lose your wolf for her life? Willing to have the risk of your wolf winning over your soul?”
I knew the consequences of one losing their human soul to their wolf which made the council take extreme measures. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
I nod without wasting a second and he searches my face, then looks down at Avery before nodding. “We are still waiting for your response Kaylee. Did any of the plants survive?” he questioned her, turning his gaze to eye the side of her face.
Yes,” She whispered. “I saved and hid one before he burnt them all down,” her confession made the entire room tense as we all wondered why she went through the trouble to save a yellow wolfsbane plant that was forbidden to even be seen in a wolf’s close proximity.
Why did you save it?” Xaden asked her.
Kaylee hesitated, her hands shaking at her sides before she finally admitted. “I planned to use it on him. I planned to kill my father.”
I don’t think any of us expected her answer, especially Xaden whose eyes widen. But before we can question her any further she continues. “I remember where I hid it and I can bring you to it if you-
“I’ll go,”
“Xaden cuts in, looking back at me. ” You’ll stay with Avery and I’ll go get it.”
I nod, grateful for my brother. Kaylee turns to him. “I must come along to.”
No, you can’t risk any other council member spotting you. You’d have me hanged for this girl and I like my neck very much. It’s a strong neck.” Henry grumbles, rubbing his neck.

Kaylee frowned. “I must come along or he won’t let you through.”
He?” We all asked her in sync. She nods and Henry shakes his head. Absolutely not! Alister if he finds out my ass will be-
“She’ll wear a disguise,” Xaden chimes in, walking over to Kaylee. We’ll be quick.”
“No,” A soft voice whimpers and the room gets silent. I turn to Avery,

setting my entire attention on her, and grabbing her hand quickly. I squeezed. “What’s wrong baby? Is it getting worse?” I croaked out.
Her eyes fluttered and when they open, the stare alone had me weakening. “If you do this I will never forgive you.”
