Chapter 103 - Having Werecubs With Him

"Get someone to watch Indiana," Xavier ordered Adrian.

Adrian nodded, "Alright."

He knew better than to ask further, Xavier was sure he wanted Indiana watched over. Who knew what she was trying to do?

Indiana had been demoted, she had been unable to join the hunt. 

Who knew if she'd be out for blood? 

And who knew if she'd take it out on Madeline because she blamed her for what happened?

From what Xavier analyzed, Indiana had been most disappointed when she heard she wasn't able to join the hunt with the others. 

The demotion? Pft! She didn't care about that as much as she did the hunt. 

Who knew if she held a grudge?

After all, she had to have been lonely now that she had gotten a demotion in rank. 

Deltas usually stuck together. 

They didn't hang with omegas, it was extremely rare. 

Briar and Indiana seemed to be an exception, although Indiana used to be a delta, so technically, it was like usual. 

Then again, she used to be a delta. She wasn't a delta currently. She'd have to work her way before she could regain her title as a delta in Eudora. 

Not to mention, Indiana would have to be on her best behaviour in front of Xavier for that to happen. 

If she were to even make the slightest mistake, it would take another toll on her reputation, and her chances at a promotion in rank.

Anyone in her position would be careful how they acted in front of Xavier especially. 

Indiana? The same person who had insulted his friend in his presence?

Oh, she had a lot of work to do before she even thought of becoming a delta wolf again. 

And by a lot of work, one meant a lot. 

She'd have to work twice as harder than any other omega because of her special circumstances. 

No one would cut her some slack. No one would let her off the hook. 

This was her consequence for acting rashly. One she would have to bear until Xavier decided she deserved to be a delta again.

And so far, Xavier was unsure of her intentions now that Madeline seemed to be set on befriending her. 

Whilst he was with Madeline on many things, he wasn't with her when it came to this. 

Indiana wasn't someone you wanted in your close circle of friends. 

Hello, she gave Madeline the worst impression possible. 

'Who approaches someone and accuses them of horrible things right in front of them so shamelessly?'

'If Indiana had done this to anyone else, she would've received less punishment.' 

When she had said all of those things to Madeline, had she ever stopped to think about what Xavier would've thought when he heard all of this? 

What, did Indiana find him incompetent to see who was good and who was bad?

He wasn't a child, and he definitely wasn't incompetent. 

It was like she had assumed he was blinded by Madeline or something. To the point he couldn't see her intentions. 

He could see her intentions. Heck, he saw them from the very start. 

Also, did Indiana think Madeline was working for her father or something? Well, that couldn't possibly be true. 

Madeline didn't even know Emilio was her father. Neither did Emilio. They were both shocked. He had been there to witness it all. 

Knowing Emilio, he was never great at acting. If he didn't know Madeline was his daughter, he didn't know. How he behaved after he discovered she was easily proved it.

Hah! Madeline working for Emilio?

What, was Indiana without intelligence?

Tsk. 

Before he handed out Indiana's punishment, Xavier momentarily wondered if his punishment had been a little too tough on Indiana. If he had gone too far after she had said all those things. 

'No, I didn't go too far. She said those things, broke a pack rule and deserved the punishment coming for her.'

Not to mention, Madeline was his friend. 

Rest assured if anyone spoke ill of her they'd have to face him. 

Indiana was living proof of that. 

What he didn't know was that Indiana did everything for a reason.

Madeline had already told him, but he was in denial. 

'You can't fall in love with someone you don't know,' he insisted. 

That was what he thought. 

That you couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't really know. 

But, love worked in mysterious ways. 

And somehow, Indiana loved him regardless.

If only he knew the real reason she did everything. For him. 

She had acted rashly, she admitted that. But she had done it mainly out of her feelings for him. 

Adrian would have a field day if he found out the real reason why she had done what she did. 

Love? Seriously?

When did love become a real reason to do something?

Then again, Xavier never knew what it was like to be in love with someone, for he never had been in love with anyone.

Out of the centuries he had lived n Alaric, he had never developed feelings for anyone. 

Xavier had never felt what it was like to fall madly in love with someone. And he was grateful for that. From everything he had heard about love, he rather stayed living a life where he'd never love anyone. 

Love? That was for the weak. 

It was what made people do foolish things. It was a recipe for disaster. 

But then there was Madeline.

He didn't love her, despite fate wanting the two together, hence the red string connecting the both of them for the rest of eternity.

And he doubted she loved him either. As friends, sure. As something more than friends? Oh luna no. 

Why would she? There was nothing about him to love. 

That was also why he doubted Indiana could possibly love him. 

Because there was nothing to love. Nothing about him that could possibly interest anyone. 

Xavier thought he was destined to spend life alone. That he was supposed to manually find himself someone to have werecubs with him. He was getting hopeless.

And that was when Madeline entered his life, as though the heavens decided to bestow upon him a mate.
