Chapter 44

XANDER’S POV

Lightening flashed across the sky, illuminating the kneeling figure in the gardens. In that brief flash of light, I saw the look in her eyes. Dread, and hatred. She shuddered, her arms wrapped around her body.

She disobeyed my instructions. Again. And all for what? Caldan?

Perhaps the cold rain will give her a fresh perspective and some time to reflect on her actions. And also offer a chill for her. For the meantime, I have work to do.

I headed to my study, and Caldan was already there. Just who I wanted to see.

“Brother!” He ran up to me the moment he spotted me. “Please, it’s raining out there!

I glared at him coldly. “Yes. And

“You asked Sabrina to kneel, in the rain”

“And you prompted her to ignore my instructions

He pursed his lips and drew back.

“Get out, Caldan.”

“No” He reached out for my arm and held me. “Let her go inside! She’ll catch a cold this way! Why are you even doing this?!”

I looked at his hand gripping my arm. Back at his face. He didn’t budge.

I have pardoned Caldan for a lot of things. I really have.

I would have had no problem if the girl in question was another girl.

And above all, I have given Caldan his freedom. I have given him liberties. I let him do as he pleased, so long as he was within rules. I let his peculiar tendencies go, I let a lot of things slide.

The title of my younger brother he bore wasn’t one he chose for himself. Fate can be rather cruel, and I understand that.

“Do not touch me” My voice came out an angry growl. Caldan stumbled back, nearly tripping on his feet. I took a step closer to him, and he backed away. Back and forth till be was up against the door.

“You’re punishing her for nothing” Caldan said, but his voice lacked the bite he had earlier. His bright eyes are dark, and he looks terrified.

Ah, I can only guess why.

“Caldan, you are getting on my nerves. You’ve been getting on my nerves a whole lot.”

I’m so close.

So close to doing something I have never done before.

The urge to do it has never been this strong before. And I mean never

Just one command. One sentence. And all of this will be over. He won’t even know that he’s being compelled. He won’t even know that his memories have been tampered with. He will walk out of here and forget Sabrina, and never cross her path again. To him, it will be like she never existed and will never exist

My wolf howled inside of me. He wants it, more than anything. Get rid of Caldan. Dispose of him.

Those closest to me are off bounds for compulsion. Nifra. Caldan. A solemn vow I made to myself, a vow I have never broken.

Caldan is testing my limits.

I looked at my brother, and I felt even
