My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret)

Xaden’s pov

Pacing the floor doesn’t quite help my mind at ease. I run my hand through my hair in frustration, looking at my brother’s body on his bed.

It has been hours and his condition is growing far worse. Seeing wretched in pain and oblivious of his surroundings was painful.

I can’t do this. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

I can’t do this.

I can’t watch him die.

I storm out of the room, startling Kaylee who had been leaning against the wall. She looks worried and I want to run those lines between her brows.

“Xaden,”

I sucked in my breath. She doesn’t talk much but when she does, it’s like music to my ears. The best kind. The sweet kind. The kind that will get me on my knees for her.

I looked away, swallowing as I continued walking away. I can’t face her right now, not when I am about to do something that will risk her life too.

But he’s my brother. My only brother. And I love him more than my own life.

“I know that look,” Henry snorts from the kitchen. I spared him a glance that was a lethal glare. He chuckled. “Hey don’t be mad at me, be mad at your brother for not wanting to mark his mate.”

“You know why he doesn’t want to,” I ground out, my glare intensifying.

Henry raised a brow. “There is a chance she won’t die. A slim one, but still a chance.” He pointed out.

I looked away, my jaw popping from how hard I ground my teeth against each other. “He won’t take that risk.”

“Yet you will,” he said bluntly, causing me to return my gaze on him. He smirks, turning to shift through the fridge. “Do you boys have anything other than that disgusting human beer?”

I clenched my hands into fists at my sides and they tremble. “I have no choice. I can’t watch him die.”

“He will hate you, you know.” Henry sighed, taking one of the beer cans and popping it open. He looks at me.

Telling your father will probably add Alister into this seeing as Xade is already so reluctant to agree to mark her. Your father won’t let his son die so he’d definitely involve Alister. And Alister,”

He walks around the counter and lifts the beer. “Will command him to

mark his mate. He’d have no choice. Either that or Alister kill her himself. That way an alpha is saved.”

I gritted my teeth, looking away because I know he is only telling the truth. A truth that hurt to hear. “Which will put,” his eyes dart behind me and I can smell her. Kaylee. Sweet and floral. I swallowed hard. “Her in danger too.”

No one will understand the kind of pain I am going through right now. To weigh on who I should save. My heart clenches, knowing I was putting Kaylee in danger.

But my brother’s life is slipping through my fingers and I am running out of time and options. I’ll figure out a way to not out Kaylee in trouble with Alister, but for now, my brother comes first.

Kaylee steps forward, the floral sweet smell she had around her felt like torment and I close my eyes tightly. “I understand,” she whispered gently and surprised me by reaching out and gripping my arm.

Her touch electrocutes me, making me snap my eyes to her warm gentle ones. There is no fear in her gaze but understanding and warmth.

“Do what you have to to save him.” She whispered firmly, squeezing my arm.

“I know what we are to each other,” she admitted, her cheeks flushing prettily. “And as your mate, I will stand beside you in whatever way you Iwant me to. Save him Xaden

My name coming from her lips made me close my eyes, dragging in a breath. “Kaylee,” I croaked.

She squeezed my arm again, making me peel my eyes open and hold her warm stare. “I trust you,” she murmurs, searching my gaze. “Now trust yourself.” She let me go and the warmth where her touch had spread on my skin grows cold.

Henry clears his throat. “Okay love birds, I didn’t save you to procreate puppies so soon Kaylee,” he joked, causing Kaylee to let out a pretty shocking yell and for her face to run deep red.

I sent a glare at Henry. Kaylee was just warming up to me now he has caused her to be shy. Asshole.

Henry ignored my stare and raised a questioning brow. “Now pup, what are you going to do? Are you going to involve your father or-

“The only one who can save my brother is Avery, his mate. He trust her the most and she’s the only one who can persuade him in anything. She also has the right to know,” I looked back at the hallway where I can hear my brother’s shallow breathing.

I clenched my fists. “I am going to reveal everything to her, she has the right to choose if she wants him to mark her or not. She has his life in his hands and she has the right to save him or not.”

I swallowed and looked back at Henry. “It’s time she knows everything.”

As I storm toward the door and open it, I freeze in my tracks, the blood draining from my face as I stared back at her. “Avery?”
