Chapter 210: Framing
[FOX CASTLE]
A woman’s slender fingers anxiously tapped the wooden table in front of her. The same hands left the table before they reached her head. Lexi clutched her crimson locks between her fingers. She felt like ripping her hair apart. A silent scream that was unheard by others left her mouth. She was done! She just knew that she would die when her brothers returns. Lexi couldn’t even fathom what would transpire once her brother gets to know about her involvement in today’s incident.
When Elena asked for her help in entering the fox tribe, it was not supposed to be like this. She thought that the only one that would get harmed is Lyra.
Lexi never imagined an entire horde of stray beasts disrupting her brother’s coronation banquet. The thing that was supposed to happen was Lyra getting kidnapped without anyone’s knowing. Not this! It was never supposed to be like this. Hell, Lexi was even ready to bring that bitch out separately to get captured if that is what meant for Elena to reach her goal. But Elena betrayed her! Her friend pushed her into a fire pit without an escape.
’’Why! Why!’’ She shouted as she banged the table. The rage of getting betrayed felt like a death noose on her neck. Lexi knew about her brother’s temper more than anyone else. Xavier was calm most of the time and remained indifferent to others. But! But when someone crosses him, he gives them the worst death possible. No one was exempt from this. Not even family!
Lexi still remembered how Xavier ruthlessly killed the female that tried to force herself on him. He didn’t care about recuperations and went on harming that female. And that female was not someone that could be easily touched. She was like her the only princess of the Red fox tribe. That female was close to their family because her mother belonged to the red fox tribe. That was also the reason for Lexi having red hair. She received it from her mother.
She had heard that her late father met and fell in love with her mother when he went to visit the red fox tribe with her grandfather. Even amid their differences, they became mates and an ideal King and Queen of the silver fox tribe. But all of this shattered when Xavier’s mother came into the picture. That wretched female drugged her father and forced herself on him in hopes of becoming the queen of their tribe. But it terribly backfired because her father was not the one to take easy on someone that tried to disrupt their family’s peace and most of all, his patience broke as his mate got hurt due to all of this.
Her father didn’t dare face her mother when it happened. This led him to hate her brother who was the fruit of his life’s greatest mistake. And that in turn scarred Xavier for life. So it didn’t come as a surprise when he killed a female when she tried to do the same thing that his mother did to their father. His actions were valid so no one chastised him and only sent him away into exile.
The reason she was remembering all of this had a reason. Now that she allowed those stray beasts entry into their tribe and threatened their safety, her brother would never sit still. He has a valid reason to kill or at least punish her and none of the elders or tribesmen will be able to refute him. Xavier is a king now and his words are the law. Her blunder in disrupting his coronation banquet would end in her getting punished.
