The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

Chapter 6



Taking edge of my alpha stealth.

I grab her wrist, inches before it could hit my heart and turn the tables.

Pushing her back on the table I pin her under me with the knife.

inches away from rooting into her eyes.

Those brown orbs widen in fear and I press our chests together to whisper in a low dangerous voice.

“Stupid move,doll.

Her eyes widen in horror.

And before she could even realise what happened I turn the tables within a second.

Gripping her wrists, I push her back to pin her on the table.

Rooting the knife an inch away from her eyes, right into the teak.

Our faces were inches away.

Chest touching.

I could hear her pathetic heart, ready to push out of her chest.

We stare into each other’s eyes and I see her expressions changing.

The bravado gets extinguished in thin here now with her pressed immobile under me.

Vulnerable and…beautiful.

“Pl….

please.

The girl begged, thrashing in my grip.

My beast roared in my chest.

And I couldn’t help but focus too much on her face that

didn’t realize when my grip became deadly.

“Alpha!”

“Stop!”

Vague and distant voice came while I stared closely at the girl.

A mind–numbing blow landed on my cheek and I was thrown back to reality.

My grip drops on the gel and I stumble a foot.

“What the hell is wrong with you!”

A loud familiar voice roars at me andl am surprised to see the person who stands beside me, breathing heavily.

His fists clenched and his eyes fixed on something in front of me.

I follow his stares to see the girl heaving on the table.

Her hands claw her neck as she struggled to breathe.

Her eyes were red, tears strained.

Face flushed.

She rolls over the table to fall, bringing along the dishes.

And I stood there, staring at her struggle.

Ron rushes to help her, but it is of no use.

She wheezes and withered like a dying fish out of water.

Her body trembles and a strange feeling hits my insides.

Why did I lost control before? Why did I care now?

“Snap out of it, Xav!”

I rub my neck to look up.

Letting out a deep breath.

“Hello, brother.

I speak in an emotionless voice, not much fazed by the rage and disappointment shining in his eyes.

“Ron.

Get the doctor.

Quick.

He starts ordering but I don’t stop him.

I’m too confused by my reaction before and want to leave the girl as soon as possible.

Ignoring the doctors rushing in, I make my way towards my office.

I had barely calmed down when the door was kicked open and in walks my big bro.

.

“Hey, bro! Welcome home! Come have a seat-”

“Don’t bro me Xavier! What has gotten into you? Do you have any fuc*ing idea what would have happened if that girl had died at your hands today?”

“You would be stripped of your title!”

I just shrug my shoulders.

Taking another swing casually.

“You seem to like her brother.

Tell me.

Do you want her for a nigh-”

I couldn’t complete it.

Another smack lands on my cheek and I bite back my smirk.

His eyes were hardened.

Head shaking in disbelief.

‘Just look at yourself in the mirror.

You look like a fuc*ing monster!”

I chuckle darkly.

Earning another flabbergasted look from him.

“This is my revenge.

And if anyone interferes with it.

I will burn them along.

Brother or not!”

He gulps.

His eyes soften for a second but he says nothing.

Dominic being the elder son was supposed to be the Alpha, but he was too mushy and kind–hearted to take over this role.

He hated bloodshed while I lived on it.

“Hope you won’t regret it.

With these being his last words he turns around to leave when I speak, sobering up.

“Have you found the gifted one?

His back stiffens and I see his fist clenching.

The gifted one is a prodigy born in 100 years.

Bloodlines of the Alpines have been awarded with this special power.

One child in hundred years is born with it.

But one never knows what power they may be awarded.

The person is said to be very special.

The history has been proof that the pack in which this prodigy agrees to reside, becomes undefeated.

Dominic has long dedicated into finding this one.

“No.

” he answered.

I scoff.

“Still not good at lying? Brother.

When are you going to learn it?”

Placing his hand on my shoulder

Tven if I know something I will make sure you are not informeË about it from now on

“Seeing this side of you today.

The gift will be ruined if it reaches your hands.

And I will never allow it.

Ever.

Slamming the door shut, he was gone after giving me a meaningful look.

What the hell did he know.

Serra’s POV

Clearing my vision with the shoulder of my sleeve, I try to concentrate on my work, but who was I kidding.

I felt like dying.

I still couldn’t digest the fact that he was going to kill me.

I guess my doubts were cleared now.

He hates me more than anything in this world.

I can’t escape this place, living here is hell.

What am I supposed to do?

My thoughts are interrupted by a snickering behind and when I turn around I am met with two maids.

“Oops!” The bitches speak, pushing the water bucket and spiling the dirty water on the floor I have cleaned.

I decide to just ignore them, this was the minimal.

Sighing I turn around the clean the spilled water when the maid presses her foot on the mop.

“Just look at her face.

Ugly is a better word.

“Gosh look at her neck.

She got lucky.

Woudn’t it better if she died?”

“Her father sold her like a commodity, Alpha wants to kill her.

What a pathetic existence.

i clench my fist, turning around I was just going to leave silently when they snickered again.

“Just look at her ugly body, I bet even the whore house would reject her.

That got to me, turning around I couldn’t keep it in.

“And you know it so well because? Have you worked there?”

Their faces turned red in rage, cursing they approach me and I hold my ground.

I wasn’t a coward.

As smirk forms on their lips and next I know, they start tearing their clothes and screaming.

Are they insane?

What are they doing?

Within a minute a crowd gathered there and everyone was

looking at them in pity and me in disgust.

My mouth opens and closes.

Just how low can they stoop? Martha’s stern features enter and I gulp.

This doesn’t look good.

“What’s going on here Raven and Stella?”

“Ma’am she….

she was refusing to do her work, we told her to do it properly and then…she called us sluts and started tearing our clothes…she said we deserve to be in the whorehose.

Everyone gasped while I looked at the girls blankly.

They even had fake tears in their eyes.

Just great, this was commendable.

Way to ruin my already ruined day.

“This bitch! We have to let the Alpha know about this.

He will deal with her on his own.

My head shoots up in fear.

I expected no food or a night outside.

But him? Involuntarily, my body trembled on its own.

I was not ready to face him.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Not yet, when his fingerprints still marred my neck.

“Follow me.

Martha speaks in disgust and I blankly follow her.

She knocks on his door and my body freezes when he speaks in a frigid

voice.

“Come in.
