Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 171

Chapter171

His eyes widened in disbelief. “How do you know all of this?”

His voice trembled with a mix of anger and shock.

“The council told me,” I said.

Now the council didn’t tell me anything. But to get back at

them, I decided to stir the water and used the power of a little

lie.

It was hard for him to accept, but I could see the seeds of doubt

starting to sprout.

Matthew’s POV

Hearing what I just said, Xavier’s eyes turned sharp.

“I don’t know who’s been lying between you and the council, but I sure as hell hope it’s not you. If I find out that you were

part of this, I’ll make sure every single person responsible for

what they put my mother through pays.” He snapped.

I stared at him in silence. He got the potential to be a decent guy, but right now, he’s blinded by rage. I can see it in his eyes.

“I’ll give you time to think about everything I’ve said,” I told him. “But when you need me, you know where to find me.”

He doesn’t realize just how right I am, though. The people he trusts? They’re the ones pulling the strings on everything that’s

gone wrong. My father might have been twisted, but at least he

understood the council’s evil just like himself, so he thought

they were worth supporting. Asher would never let council

manipulate him like that. So now the council was doing

everything they could to destroy him, but they were picking

the wrong fight.

What I just did would buys us some time. Now, we could talk to

the other Alphas and hopefully get them on our side. The

council was about to be so distracted, and they wouldn’t see

what’s coming. Xavier was on a rampage, and I knew he’s

gearing up to confront them. They wouldn’t be able to wriggle

out of this one.

“I want to talk to your cousin,” he suddenly said, his voice grim.

I felt a sense of relief. This was exactly what I’ve been hoping

for–getting Xavier to step up and talk things through with

Asher.

“I’ll arrange something, but I hope all of this stays between us,” I

said. I’m willing to give him a shot at redemption, but that

doesn’t mean I trust him yet.

“I don’t care what kind of game you or the council are playing,”

he hissed. “I want the truth, and now it seems that the only way

to get it is by talking to my brother. I’m willing to take that risk

because I can’t stand someone who manipulates others like this.

I hate people who play these games.”

I nodded. The council was going to hate who things were

turning out this time.

“Asher can be a really hard person to deal with, but I will let

him know about your demand,” I said.

Asher probably won’t admit it, but deep down, he wants to

meet his brother. He’s just worried about what he’ll turn into if

he opens up. And there’s a part of him that’s afraid of becoming

someone he can’t control–someone like Isaac.

“I don’t care if Asher is difficult. If he’s got any intention of

winning, then he needs me. And I’ll only work with people I

trust. I’ll work with those who tell me the truth, not those who

feed me lies.” Xavier said coldly.

I nodded and left him alone.

Outside of the tent, I found one of the council’s lackeys standing

guard. They were no doubt waiting for me to show up, and I

wasn’t in the mood for games.

“The council demands your presence,” the lackey said, his voice
