Her Devilish Alpha - Chapter 218

“I’m not drunk, I’m jealous,” Madeline admitted.

“I knew it! You had to be jealous of me,” Lawrence said smugly.

She glared at him some more, “When I said I was jealous I didn’t mean to say I was jealous of you, idiot. I’m jealous thinking of Xavier doing things with someone else.”

“Don’t call me an idiot,” Lawrence replied.

Briar patted Madeline on the back, also taking the glass away from her and handing Lawrence her glass. He placed it to his right side.

Lawrence leaned over to Briar, whispering, “Are you interested in anyone right now?”

She turned to look at him, “Yes. Yes, I am interested in someone right now.”

“Alright then,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eye. He told Madeline, “Jealousy is such an ugly colour on you.”

“I don’t ever recall asking you for your opinion,” Madeline said.

Lawrence replied, “But you know the truth regardless, that darned brother of mine is too loyal to ever even think of sleeping with someone else.”

Madeline kept quiet.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

Briar told Madeline, “Besides, all it takes is Xavier introducing Lawrence to the rest of the pack to clear things up.”

Lawrence cleared his throat, “Right, we’d have to talk to my brother about that.”

“Mhm,” Madeline replied, before she laughed, “Lawrence has a point.”

Emilio would kill Xavier before anything like that happened. Besides, she knew Xavier cared about her, he knew he would never do anything. Even if Lawrence looked exactly like Xavier, and if there were people out there who thought they had slept with him, because that wasn’t the case at all.

“Speak,” Xavier ordered.

Adrian crossed his arms, “He hasn’t said much the entire time.”

Xavier calmly walked over to the man that had been found around Eudora, his mind racing with thoughts.

“How did you come across this place?” Xavier questioned.

“I h-have no idea. I just stumbled across it,” the man stuttered.

He could easily tell the man was lying, it was written all over his face. The man, whoever he was, looked terrified. Like if he said one wrong thing, he’d be beaten into a pulp. Or worse.

“I promise, I didn’t know about this place. I didn’t know it ever existed!” He exclaimed, his hands clasped together. He pleaded, “Please, you have to believe me!”

‘What do you want to do with him?’ Adrian questioned, using his mind link to communicate with Xavier.

‘Break him if he refuses to talk,’ Xavier replied.

‘He knows something,’ Adrian agreed.

‘Right. Exactly why we need to break him to get him talking, and if he still refuses to talk then, dispose of him.’

There were a few things about Xavier that Madeline didn’t know about, this being an example. Xavier didn’t hesitate to kill if it meant he got to protect Eudora.

Had Madeline been there, she would have refused to see him killed when he might have been what he was pleading he was – innocent. What if he was speaking the truth? What if he was innocent after all?

But Xavier was sure of it – that this man was hiding something. Last time, it was Madeline that had stumbled across Eudora. And they soon discovered that Madeline wasn’t just an ordinary human. And Xavier also fell in love with her.

“Where did you come from?” Xavier questioned, brow raised.

“I came from nearby here, I don’t mean you any harm, I promise!” The man pleaded.

Adrian had a twisted look on his face, wondering what they’d do with this man. Xavier didn’t seem pleased, he didn’t seem like he was in a good mood either.

“Nearby here isn’t a good enough answer.”

“Who sent you?” Xavier questioned.

The man met Xavier’s gaze, he began shaking his head.

“No one sent me,” he insisted, repeating it, “No one sent me!”

It seemed like he was being driven to insanity, fear painted all across on his face.

“So someone sent you,” Xavier commented.

The man went on his knees, “Please believe me, no one sent me. I promise you, no one sent me.”

He whispered, his voice soft and shaky, ‘If he knows I was found, he’ll kill me. He’ll kill me, I don’t want to die.’

“Who sent you?” Xavier questioned, hearing what he had just whispered under his breath.

“Are you from another pack?”

The man stopped talking.

Xavier exhaled.

“Adrian, leave me,” he ordered.

Adrian patted Xavier on the shoulder before he hastily left, shooting the man a glare, hoping to scare him.

He breathed deeply, walking over to him.

“What’s your name?”

“Lucas.”

“Well, Lucas. If you don’t tell me who sent you, and who you actually are, and what you came here for, then you’re going to die the most painful, gruesome death possible.”

Lucas’ eyes widened in horror.

“No no no please no. I don’t mean harm to anyone, I promise.”

Xavier chuckled, “I know when people are lying, Lucas.”

Lucas moved backwards.

“I can’t risk him knowing I was caught,” he whispered.

The alpha couldn’t believe his ears. Lucas had broken easily. He had given in and actually told Xavier something in a matter of minutes. Was he really that weak?

“So you admit it,” Xavier hissed, his hands wrapping around the collar of Lucas’ shirt. He asked next, his voice sending shivers up Lucas’ spine, “Who sent you?”

“I don’t know,” Lucas choked out, barely able to breathe.

Lucas didn’t dare place his hands on Xavier, knowing fully well who Xavier actually was. If he even dared touching Xavier, he’d be dead. Or wishing he was dead once Xavier was done with him.

He was nothing compared to Xavier, sure he had powers but this was THE Xavier he was talking to. All it took was this man deciding that he was sick of him and killing him on the spot.

Tightening his grip around Lucas’ collar, Xavier let out a growl, “You don’t know?”

Lucas nodded slightly, raising his hands up in the air, “I don’t know. I don’t know!”
