Chapter 168: Did you know she killed Selene’s parents?
Xavier POV
"Then what are you?" Noah’s eyes dimmed suspiciously as he regarded me "The issue with your pack could have been resolved at that level because it’s your jurisdiction but you came from your pack to Moon Whisper to come do what?"
"To see my children," I replied. There was no need to try to drag out the truth "I and Selene were not exactly talking and the little time we did speak, it was always so brief. She didn’t give me...".
"That’s enough both of you," Selene interrupted me with a sigh "You speak as if I am not present. Hey... I am here okay... just because I’ve been with both of you, that doesn’t give you to right to talk over me. You know what..." she rose to her feet "I’m going to take a walk because the longer I stay here listening to your nonsense, the more I contemplate shoving my fist in your faces,".
Both me and Noah remained silent until she left the room. When we were alone, Noah turned to me, studying me silently before he spoke again.
"What can you give me in return, Xavier?" he asked reaching for his glass of wine on the table. "I admit I abused my power as your King except for Kurtis... Alpha Jared is a greedy fellow and somehow, he’s interested in something in your pack, that’s the much I know... but I think it’s related to those things we talked about and..." he stopped and ran a hand through his hair "We’ll talk about that much more later but I used Jared because he was willing to do anything for the power,".
"Well, it’s a good thing you’ve admitted that you did everything on purpose but you’re playing a dangerous game trying to use Jared to take revenge on you. We both agreed and made a pact that I would not in any way come in between your relationship with Selene which I have done until now,".
"Really?" he scoffed "You haven’t done anything Xavier. I saw you hugging my wife a few seconds ago and then you laid beside her and...".
"With your permission and just to make sure the only physical contact we had was our hands, I went the extra mile to ensure that. But I think you’re angry because somehow, you’ve become me and you’re scared that Selene would leave you and...".
"I am not you, Xavier!" he exploded flashing me a haunted glare "I didn’t spend 7 years s of my life cheating on my wife nor abusing her emotionally okay? What happened with Brooke was a slip of control and a mistake and until now, I haven’t done anything else with her,".
"But you will!" I said with a sneer on my lips "Cheating doesn’t happen by accident and when it does and the person with whom you committed the affair is still close by, believe me, the tendency of doing it again is very high. I am not saying this to scare you but only to state the fact but guess what... Selene gave you a second chance to fix your marriage... and this is a perfect opening for me because I noticed your mistress is still hanging around you and what is it about a promise of making her a concubine... something like that,".
