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

Xade’s pov

“You got yourself in a lot of trouble boy,” one of the council members shook his head as he leaned against the stone wall mirroring the cell they had me in. I have been here for hours and the head has yet to call me to the front.

I shrugged, my legs crossed, my back press to the cold wall. They at least had the decency to give me some clothes to hide my nakedness.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

On a scale of one to ten…how much do you think I give a f*ck?” I asked dryly, causing the older wolf named Henry to scowl in disapproval.

“This isn’t a joke kid,” he shook his head, moving off the wall and coming closer to the silver bars. Of course not too close because we know what silver does to people like us.

“What you had done risked us all.” he scolded. “Was she really worth risking everything? Our people, our kind?”

I don’t bat an eye as I answered truthfully. “She is. Always had been. I’d do it again if I have to. I’d protect her from everything.”

Henry shook his head in disbelief and then looked at me. Really looked at me. And then he clicked his tongue. “You and this girl…there are whispers around that you two are closer than you let

on….”

I scoffed. “Whispers huh? Didn’t take the council to be into gossip.”

Henry let out a noise of frustration “We had been keeping an eye on

von since you wanted to go to a human school. We keep an eye on

everyone

I moved off the svall, my eyebrow raising “So technically stalking

Henry shrugged, looking unbothered by my dry tone. “You can call it whatever you wish. We as the council need to make sure everything is in order You have to admit it’s concerning you’ve been so close to a human all your life Our secret had always been in stake because of this Keeping an eye on you was for your own good and for our kind.”

“You can say whatever makes you guys feel less of a creep.” 1 shrugged, acting unbothered when inside I am worried they noticed. more than me being close to Avery

Henry lets out a breath “You’re impossible to talk to, but perhaps you’ll talk to your father before the head sees you and gives out your punishment We have a lot to clean up because of understanding the gravity of the situation you ledu

is up

I blew out a groan of annoyance “You expect me to admit that I was wrong when I know I wasn’t? I won’t apologize for saving her If protecting her from someone who was trying to rape her means breaking your precious rules then so be it I’d do it again and again.”

Henry shook his head. “There’s no way of getting to you, making you

understand”

I nod “That’s right Henry Nothing and I mean nothing will make me regret saving someone I care about. Not even the rules”

Henry nods, looking at me in disappointment “You should know whatever punishment the head chooses it will be brutal He has killed a man for less “He reminded

I stiffen and went back to lean against the wall “You’re wasting your time trying to make me see saving her was a bad idea”

Henry grunted “I didn’t say saving her was a bad idea. You could have saved her without risking our kind. You lost control. For an alpha wolf at that. It takes a lot to have you lose control the way you did.”

I scoffed. “I’m sorry seeing him on top of her made me only see red.”

Henry gaze softened a bit. “As an alpha wolf, you’ve had training to be able to control and contain your wolf In a situation like this, exposing us could have been avoided.”

He was right. But seeing a b*stard on the girl I love, my mate, I lost every thought that warned me to not shift. Everything had just gone…red.

Hungry for his blood, his pain, his anguish. Red. Red. Red.

“Some things are worth losing control for Henry.” I said bluntly and Henry is stunned at my response. However before l n speak, the door to the dungeon creaked open. I gritted my teet…. the sou

You’d expect the council who were all wealthy, would at least replace that old rusty steel door.

The scent hit me as soon as the heavy footsteps echoed around us. My father. My back straightened. He is here.

When his face finally came into view, I gulped at the stern look he sent me as he approached the steel bands that kept me in. “Xade,” he said in a grit. He spared Henry a passive look. “Can I talk to my son alone?”

Henry shrug. “I will leave but he must stay. We can’t have you two……coming up with a plot to escape.” He pointed to the guard who had followed dad inside.

Dad’s jaw ticked. Dad being an alpha was not one to be ruled by anyone either. But the council had authority and there was little he ast an alpha can do in this situation.

“Fine.” He flicked his eyes back to me. Henry nodded and casted me one last disappointed look before exing the dungeon. When he leaves, the guard belund father walk over to the very end of the corridor where he could barely see dad and I. He was trying to give us some privacy

Dad’s stern face beckoned me closer and with a breath I walked over. I saw a brief flash of worry passing through his eyes as he studied my appearance. “How long have they have you here?”

I shrugged. “Hours, but I cannot be certain for sure.”

Ile nods and then looks at me sternly “From all I’ve taught you, you made this be your downfall. An alpha doesn’t lose his control. Not for anything, not for anyone. You know that you can’t get out of this, even if I try to convince the head.”

owered. “I lost it when I saw him hurting You know

uch she means to me.

I know,” he said stiflly. “I also warned you that she may be your destruction. You are too attached to her. Now see what you’ve done to yourself. You’re supposed to take over the pack when you graduate, this was our deal. How can an alpha who can’t control his emotions. lead his people?”

I snapped my eyes to his furiously. “I never wanted to be alpha. I never wanted to be a leader! You thrust this upon me because Xaden hadn’t met your expectations!” I hissed.

Dad’s eyes harden. ” Xaden isn’t strong enough to lead. As an alpha, I have to look out for the pack, our people. Do you think it’s easy to deny Xaden of his right? Do you think it’s easy seeing my son behind bars? Do you think it’s easy to watch my mate tear down because her son might be put to death and there’s nothing I cannot do to save my own flesh!”
