Chapter 97

Xander POV

The elders have granted our request to apprehend Isabelle and Heather Ramona, on the provision that we don’t kill Isabelle until the baby is born. We’ve agreed and the search is on, but I fear it’s already too late. Heather isn’t stupid, neither is Isabelle. It feels as though the two of them have nine lives. I exhale slowly, looking over the grounds, my hands clenching into fists, my heart giving a pang. I just want to be alone. While my mate has been trying to comfort me, part of me can’t burden her with my worries, and my feelings without feeling immensely guilty. Especially now that I have come to a decision. It wasn’t an easy one either, but I know that it’s the one I have to make, even though it’s slowly killing me inside.

“We’ll find her” Xavier’s voice comes from behind me and somehow I’m not surprised to hear it.

He knows me better than anyone. Always has. We have this special bond between us, that only twins can feel. I’ve never been able to hide anything from him. He’s always known where to find me. I glanced at him, clenching my jaw. “It’s too late,” I said with resignation, “she’s gone now Xavier, and so is my baby

My baby. I still struggle to comprehend it. Isabelle had engineered her pregnancy, a form of revenge against me, and now it was all I could think about. What was she doing with the baby? Where had she gone? Was she keeping the baby? Would I find the baby before Isabelle did something to harm it? Questions constantly ran through my mind, and I had no answers. I felt more frustrated than ever. I couldn’t burden Regan with this. She was already feeling badly about this and hurt. I couldn’t hurt her more with my selfishness and my desire to know more about it.

I felt Xavier slap me on the shoulder, hard, causing me to turn my head and glower at him. That had hurt. He no doubt had intended for it to.

“I’ve never known you to be the type to feel sorry for yourself,” he said narrowing his eyes “what happened to the steadfast, stoic Xander who always insists there’s a solution to every problem, you just have to find it?” he asked loudly, eyeing me in disbelief.

Out of the two of us, I had always been the one to plan, the smarter one, rather than the warrior like Xavier was.

“I was wrong” I snapped back, feeling as though I was on the edge of losing myself.”I was wrong and stupid and naïve. It’s better to accept reality. Isabelle is gone and so is my child. We’re never going to find them. It would take a miracle. Even father’s influence and resources won’t be enough to lure them out of hiding” I finished tightlipped.

“So, we come up with another plan,” Xavier said nonchalantly as though it was that simple.

Was he deliberately being obtuse? There was no other plan. I had been wracking my brain for days and I couldn’t think of anything that would even remotely help. He had to be kidding me. I yanked his hand off my shoulder and gritted my teeth.

with sarcasm “what foolproof plan have you come up with in my absence?” I continued, feeling as though I was seeing red “because clearly you have a superior mind to mine.”
