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

Xade’s pov

My body became as stiff as a rock when his words run across the room and my heart skipped a beat, despite me not wanting Alister or any of the council members to know that he got under my skin.

My heart clenched at the thought of Avery’s memories of me being wiped clean and I pulled in a shaky breath, my hands turning to fists at my sides.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is this necessary-Alister?” Dad asked tightly and Peter sent him a warning look to shut up. “Is there not another way?”

Alister had a sinister glare in his eyes when he replied. “Death,” he said seriously and then waved his hand in an uncaring way. “But it would be a loss to lose our little hero, now wouldn’t it.”

Dad’s jaw set tight. “There must be another way. The two are close and-

“There is no other way alpha Xadeon!” Alister snarled. “It took a lot to clean up the mess your son had made. This is actually an easy punishment for what he had done. It will be like a new start. Only that…no one remembers him. He’ll be the new kid. However,” his eyes flashed dangerously over to me. “You must stay away from that girl. If not, you will be exiled and be dropped out of the school.”

Iground my teeth, feeling my chest hurt as my wolf whine. It was

already hard to not mark her, now to stay away from her would kill me. Her not knowing me…would kill me more.

But I can’t have anyone know she’s my mate. They’d force me to mark

her or worse. I can’t risk her life. I’d rather die and serve this punishment if I have to. She was worth everything to me.

The little time I got her to be mine, were the best days of my life. I’ll cherish them until I perish.

“Fine,” I ground out, my wolf scratching through my body to be let free. Control. I had to control myself. They can’t know. They can’t know. She was mine to protect.

Alister’s smirk returned. “Good. Rose, take care of him.”

Rose’s eyes meet mine briefly and I saw a flash of sympathy in her gaze before she returns her gaze back to Alister. “Since it’s not only one human I have to wipe their memory of him, I may need some time. This can take a week or maybe more.”

Alister’s eyes flickered with annoyance. “As long as it takes, do it. Make sure no one remembers him. Not one single memory.” He warned.

“Might as well wipe me clean off the face of the earth.” I said sarcastically even though inward I am having a battle of my own.

“Xade.” Dad hissed low and dangerous. A warning to keep my mouth shut. I clamped it, but can’t keep my eyes from swirling with irritation.

I was going to lose the love of my life sooner than I thought. How can I remain calm?

Alister’s lips twitched. “I knew I liked you boy,” he chuckled and stared at Peter. “Have him stay in the dungeons until Rose is done. Afterward, when we’re sure no one remembers him, he will be set free to go ahead and study.”

His eyes coldly snap to mine with a warning. “However you must stay clear away from the human girl. If not, I won’t spare you this time.”

Dad looked at me with a nod, silently telling me that it was easier this way. With a right jaw, I let Peter lead me back to the cold dungeon where it reeked of piss and metallic blood. Alister had dad stay back to talk.

“I’m surprised Alister let you off this easy,” Peter voiced. “He can be…unforgiving when it comes to our people. He is tough but he means well for our community.”

I spared him a glance. “Easy? I looked at the cold silver bars that will be with me for days until I get out of here. “Death seems easier than having to live with the-

I clamped my mouth shut before I finish my words. Peter gives me an intrigued look. “Is this girl something more…”

I scoffed. “She’s family. What more can there be?”

Peter nodded and unlocked the door, opening it and motioned for me to step in which I did. “At least you’ll be able to protect her from afar.” He said softly with a warm smile. “However…try to not turn beast mode and risk us all.”

I snorted and walked to the very end of the cell where it is dark and cold. “It’s not enough. Being far away from her, not being able to-

“It’s not enough,” I admitted.

How can I live in a world where the girl that I love entirely will not remember all the times we shared, not remember me? How can I stay away from her when every fiber of my being wants to be as close as possible? Death had been an easier option, and I should have taken it when it was still on the table.
