Xavier (1st bk of Wolfcreek Pack) (Completed)

Chapter 11 (Edited)

I stared at the bundle in my arms, my throat closing. I looked at this small baby who looked more like me than Camen.

"Is he supposed to be this small?" TJ asked, causing me to shake my head. He watched as his cousin wrinkled his nose and yawned.

"No," I said, softly. "He's supposed to be bigger, but he was born early." I was afraid to move with him in my arms. I didn't know if I could move because he was so fragile, so innocent.

"Well, he is getting stronger every day, Lu- Cassandra is it?" the pack doctor, Irene, said.

"Cass, Cassie, or Cassandra," I replied, looking at her. "I answer to all three."

"And Assie," Julian said, causing us to look at him. He gestured to his twin and him. "We can only call her that."

"I don't understand why you call her that," Parker said. He sounded rather offended that they called me "Assie", but it didn't bother me much.

Julian shrugged his shoulder. A small smirk appeared on his face, and I knew he was thinking the same thing that I was thinking.

"What is the boy's name?" Dr. Trent said just as Julian opened his mouth to say something. He scowled at the Prince, causing him to shrug his shoulder and shut his mouth.

I looked down at my son and moved my thumb until it was in his tight grasp. "Bryson," I said, causing TJ to stiffen beside me. "Bryson Ridge Kristen. That is his name."

"Father?" Dr. Trent asked.

"Leave it blank," I replied, coldly. "I don't want him to know."

Dr. Trent nodded his head and wrote it in his notes. He knew who the father of my child was, and I knew that he was going to do what I had asked. "If you are killed?"

I hesitated and looked at Xavier who was standing at the back of the room. I stayed silent, not knowing if I should ask or not.

"We could..." Julian began. He looked at me and Xavier and then at his brother. His eyes glazed over as he linked his brother and scowled at something he had said.

I looked at Julian. I loved him like my brother, but I did get annoyed when he became overprotective of me. I knew that he and my uncle had tried to warn me about Camen, but I had ignored them and lost my Wolf and my pack in the process.

I could feel a link forming between the twins and I as they set it up with me. 'I trust him,' I said, causing both of them to raise an eyebrow.

'But, he hurt you. He was going to make you eat once a day,' Julian said, causing me to softly shake my head. 'He was, though.'

'He was going to make me pay for my meals if I eat three times a day,' I replied. 'He was letting the kids eat for free.'

'He made you an Omega. He made you work.'

'If she didn't want to work, then she would have called and said for us to get her out,' Justin said. 'And, Camen won't come over here. She is safer here.'

'But to trust him with her son?' Julian asked. 'That is...'

I narrowed my eyes at him. 'That is what?' I asked. 'Stupid?'

Julian set his jaw and narrowed his eyes at me. 'You know what I mean, Cass. You barely know him.'

'You barely knew me, but you took the chance to hang out with me,' I retorted. 'Your brother didn't even want to deal with me because I w- am Feral.'

Julian growled and moved a hand across his face. 'He placed the three of you in a single room.'

'He gave us a bunk bed and a cot the second night because he had heard that I had been sleeping on the floor. That was more than enough. He could have had us sleeping on the floor, but he didn't.'

'And, he gave her extra rooms on his floor,' Justin said, softly, causing the two of us to look at him. 'Those rooms are reserved for the Alpha and his family plus visiting guests.'

'But, she is designated as an Omega in this pack, right now. She works.'

'Didn't you say that before?' Justin asked, causing his twin to glare at him. 'It is up to her what she wants to do.'

'But what if this happens again?' Julian asked, gesturing towards me. 'What if we lose her?'

'I am right here, and it is my fault for killing a Worber before,' I said. 'That is why the Worber attacked.'

'He could have stopped you from going out.'

I shook my head no. 'You wouldn't have been able to stop me.'

'I would have gone after you.'

'And be told to stop,' Justin replied. 'Someone would have told you to leave her be.'

Dr. Trent cleared his throat. He watched as the three of us looked at him a frown on his face. "It is up to Cassandra and Alpha Xavier if he accepts," he said. "If Cassandra wants to ask Alpha Xavier, then it is her right to."

"But, what if-"

I growled out a warning, causing my son to wrinkle his nose and squeak. "Don't even think about it," I said, my voice hard. "Do not even say it."

Julian set his jaw and narrowed his eyes. He didn't say a word, but I knew what he was thinking. He was thinking that Xavier would kill us, kill me. He was thinking that Xavier was a monster, just like everyone else.

"Did you know that he had made others blame me for my uncle and aunt's death?" I asked. "He made me out to be a monster, turned the pack against me."

This caused Justin, Julian, and Xavier to growl out in anger. Justin and Julian were being protective, and Xavier knowing what I was going through.

'Is that why you trust Xavier?' Julian asked. 'Because you know how it feels to called a monster?'

I hesitated but nodded my head. 'Camen is the monster,' I said, softly. 'Not Xavier.'

Julian set his jaw and studied me. He nodded his head, his gaze hard. 'If he kills him, then I will kill him. I hope you know that.'

I nodded my head. 'I know,' I said.

"Will you do it?" Julian asked, looking at Xavier. "Would you watch the kids if Cass dies?"

Xavier looked at me, his blue eyes cold. He was wanting to make sure that I was ok with it. He was wanting to make sure that I didn't want to change my mind.

"Please?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "Will you watch over my son if I die?"

He hesitated but nodded his head. "Just don't die any time soon," he said, his voice hard. There was a small bit of softness in it, and I knew that I was the only one that heard it. "No more Worbers."

I smiled and nodded my head. "Promise," I replied.
