Xade's pov I fell silent. His sister's mate? The hunter who fooled her into giving up her wolf to be with him? "Women stay here, boys follow me," Dad commanded, his alpha tone ringing through the air and making it difficult to disobey. I ground my teeth and look over at Avery. "I will be back baby, stay here." She nods, smiling atreassuringly.
Xaden and I followed Dad out of the house and toward the dungeon where I had requested the hunter to be placed. There are two men guarding the door and they nod in acknowledgment, showing us their necks.
Are you saying that doctor is working for your mysterious sister's mate?" I asked tightly as we step into the dimly lit dungeon.

I cursed under my breath and Xaden slapped my shoulder as we follow Dad where the stench of the hunter cfrom. The hunter was bound to a chair in the middle of the room, one of our pack members standing beside him to make sure he didn't escape.
The air is musty here, makinggag inwardly.
The door creaks as Dad opens it and steps into the room, nodding at the man who stands beside our prisoner. The guard leaves, closing the door behind him after Xaden and I have entered.
Though bound, the hunter's eyes are hard and defiant." We should call Henry before we ask questions. It's him who captured this one anyway," Xaden suggested.
Dad's eyes remain hard and harsh on the hunter and doesn't respond yet. But when he does, his voice is steeling and cold. " Fine, go fetch Henry." Xaden left the room swiftly and now it was just dad,and the hunter. Dad steps closer to the hunter and he cranes his neck to look at him. Pitiful," Dad sneers, reaching forward and clutching the collar of the hunter's shirt before ripping it to reveal the tattoo.
He steps back, shooting daggers at the tattoo." You work for Milian," Dad accused, his tone filled with hate and disgusts.
The hunter's eyes flickered and he looks away.
" Is Milian I step forward, standing beside dad as I inspected the tattoo. the bastard's name? The one my supposedly aunt is mated to?" Dad grunted, nodding. "Nso stupid you'd think he'd be a retard. He did look like one. Unfortunately, he could outsmart many," he grumble under his breath and turn to me. "Since it's his hunters we are dealing with, things have gotten intense," I frowned, my hands fisting at my sides as I imagine my hands wrapping around this Milian's neck for causing such a stir in my life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We can just find the bastard," I lifted my foot and slammed it on the hunter's knees, making him hiss in pain. A little more force and I would have broken the bone. Tempting.
"I'm sure this bastard knows where this Milian is," I glared at the hunter who still looks defiant. We might have trouble getting anything from him.
Dad shakes his head. "You don't understand Xade, the council has been trying to find that bastard for years. No one can find him. It's like he's a damn ghost, leaving no trace behind him.” My frown deepens. " Then we find that damn doctor and end this nonsense,"
Dad raises a brow sarcastically." And how do you imagine us going about clearing Avery's neverywhere? We need a witch who can erase-
'No," I snarl, knowing who he was going to suggest. Asking her would also be asking the council for help, Alister. If he finds but lied to him about how much Avery was to me, he'd be furious. Especially now that she is pregnant and changing. And there was Kaylee. If he finds out she's alive.... "She's the best and the only one we can trust," Dad grumbles.
"No dammit!" I snarl." It's too much of a risk to involve her. Involving her is involving him."
"He's the only way!" Dad roars, the vein on his forehead straining. "He's None who can the only one who can clean this mess up," Dad glared at the hunter. "We are not dealing with just any hunter leader. Milian outsmartedonce, he can do it again." "We need Alister," Dad utters when I remain mute.
