Beta Xavier Costa.

Eleanor Amato - POV

“Argh!” I screamed in agony. It felt like someone was stabbing me in the abdomen using a sharp knife, and the pain wouldn't stop.

“Eleanor, just hold on all right. I will call Beta Costa.” I heard Ivan’s voice, but it sounded like he was miles apart. I partially opened my eyes to see that we were only a few feet away from Xavier’s front door.

“What the hell is going on in here?” a new voice asked, and it took me a few seconds to recognize that it was Marquez.

“I…I don't know what happened, Gamma Dante. One moment, she was all right, and the next moment, she fell to the floor screaming in pain.” I heard Ivan explain. Black dots started to appear in the corner of my eyes, and I knew that I would not be able to hold anymore. I felt someone lift me off the ground, and it made my head start to spin.

Just when I thought I couldn't handle it, the pain abruptly stopped. “What's going on in here?” Xavier’s front door opened, and I saw him walk out wearing a towel around his waist, soon, Jade walked out to stand next to him with only a bed sheet to cover her naked body.

At that moment, I realized why I experienced such pain.

“What the fuck did you do, Xavier?” I heard Marquez growl while I noticed Ivan standing next to us with a shocked look on his face.

“Marquez.” my voice was barely above a whisper, but Marquez’s attention quickly turned around to me. “Please take me to the hospital,” I told him, and he nodded his head, and with one last glare toward Xavier, he rushed me to the hospital.

We entered the hospital, and Marquez was frantically looking around for someone to approach us when I saw a doctor walk toward us. “What is wrong with her, Gamma Dante?”

“I will explain it in the room. But could you please show me where I can put her?” he asked the doctor, and she nodded her head. I was still able to feel the pain, but it was not as intense as I felt before. Meanwhile, I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer, so I leaned my head against Marquez's chest and closed my eyes, falling into a dreamless state.

Beta Xavier Costa - POV

I was so engrossed in my paperwork that I didn't hear the knock on my door until it grew a little louder. “Come in,” I called, and a warrior walked in with a paper bag in his hand.

“Beta Costa, a woman handed this to me, and she told me to hand it over to you,” he said.

“Thank you, you can keep it on the table,” I told him, and he nodded his head. “Did she give something else?” I asked him, and he nodded his head and took out an envelope from his pocket. After handing me the envelope, he left the room. I opened the paper bag and took out two small bottles that contained a purple color liquid. And inside was the instruction on how to use it.

Drink one teaspoon of this liquid, and the effect will last for three days. You will not feel any sort of pain whenever your mate is having sex with anyone except you.

I kept the bottles inside and tore the envelope open.

Meet me at your pack border at seven pm tomorrow.

I kept the letter inside a file and got back to work. “Let's go home and see mate,” Kyle whined for the nth time, which made me let out a sigh, and I stopped my work. I looked up at the time to see that it was past eight pm.

“Fine, let's go home,” I told him, got up from my place, and walked out of my office.

“You know we can't go to meet her empty-handed, right?”

“What do you want me to do now?” I growled, getting irritated at his behavior.

“Let's get her flowers,” he suggested, and my eyes widened in shock.

“I am not doing that!”

“Please, please. Just tell her it is from me then.” Kyle begged.

“Fine!” I yelled. I bought a bouquet of multi-colored lilies and walked back home, and when I was only a few meters away from my front door, I saw Eleanor leave the house with a box in hand. This made me freeze. Even though I wanted to go home and wait for her, I decided to follow her.

She went to the river while I stood in the forest area to hide. A couple of minutes later, I saw a man walk towards her, and they began a conversation. She looked so happy and close to this man, which made me curl my hands into fists while my blood boiled in anger. I stayed there looking at her like a creep, but my control snapped when she ate from the slice he ate.

I stormed out of there and went to my house. After closing the door behind me, I threw the bouquet on the floor and stamped it, but I just couldn't control my anger. Those idiots made me think that she was different, and for a second, I did believe it, but she was just like her.

“You fucking ruined it, Eleanor!” I screamed into the empty house while I frantically looked around. I know there is no use breaking anything because it would never make her feel the pain and agony that I am going through.

I took the small bottle of concoction from my pocket and stared at it when a smirk appeared on my face. I think I know how she can feel what I have been going through all these years. I walked into the kitchen, took a spoon, measured the exact amount that Elizabeth said, and drank it.

“Don't do this, Xavier. There must be a misunderstanding.” Kyle whimpered, but I was past trying to hear everyone reason with me. I walked back to the living room and took my phone. “Don't do this, Xavier. You will regret it later.”
