Fated to My Twin Sister's Alpha (Violet and Asher) novel Chapter 205

Xavier’s POV

From behind the wall, I stood still, barely breathing. I couldn’t

see Ava, but I could hear her voice from inside the room–lower

than usual, hesitant.

She was stalling.

“Father,” she said slowly. “If. if I do what you ask, if I go through

with marrying Asher–what happens if-”

She stopped. Her voice caught in her throat.

Jason didn’t say anything. Waiting.

She took a breath and tried again. “You said this marriage must

happen soon. But what if. before that. I find my true mate?”

Jason’s tone stayed flat. “Mate?”

“Yeah!” She hesitated again, the pause stretching out. “My

destined partner”

For a moment, there was silence.

Then Jason laughed. Not amused–mocking.

“Your mate? Ava, don’t start with that nonsense.”

Her voice stayed quiet. “It could be a possibility.”

Jason scoffed. “You’re not going to find anyone. And even if you

do, it doesn’t matter.”

A pause.

“I will make you forget him real quick,” he added. “You think

the Bear Clan cares who the Moon chooses for you? We choose.

And I already made that choice.”

He was getting sharper now.

“You were not born for yourself. You were born for this clan.

For this alliance. That’s what matters–not some mystical bond

or romantic fantasy.”

Ava didn’t answer.

Jason continued, colder now. “If your so–called mate dares to

get in the way, I’ll put him down myself.”

I felt my own pulse jump.

“If he tries to claim you, speak for you, fight for you–I’ll kill him

where he stands,” Jason finished, like he was discussing a

business deal.

I couldn’t see Ava from my position, but I could feel the stillness

in her. She hadn’t moved, hadn’t said a word.

Jason clicked his tongue once. “Stop talking like a weakling,

Ava. I raised you for this. You knew it was coming. So, don’t

worry about that, and get some rest!”

Ava still didn’t speak anything. She might just have nodded,

shocked by her father’s determination to get her married to

Asher.

And after a while Jason’s footsteps started toward the door. I

backed farther into the shadow, not moving until I heard them

pass and fade into the corridor.

When I finally stepped out, Ava was standing in the same spot,

arms crossed tightly over her chest, eyes on the floor.

“Why are you still here?” she asked.

“Because I listened everything.” I stepped closer, watching her

carefully. “You asked him. You actually asked him.”

Chapter 205

She didn’t say anything for a second. “And now you know his

answer.”

“I already knew what kind of man he was.” I exhaled. “I just

didn’t know he’d go this far.”

Ava looked at me now. “He won’t change his mind.”

“I noticed.”

She turned her back to me, walking a few steps away. “You

need to leave. If he finds you again, he’ll do exactly what he

said. And I won’t be able to stop him.”

“I’m not afraid of him.”

“You should be. He doesn’t bluff.”

I took a step forward. “Neither do I.”

She looked over her shoulder, frowning. “Xavier.”

I cut in. “I wasn’t completely honest with you earlier.”

She turned around fully, arms falling to her sides.

“I’m not just a guard,” I said. “I’m a hybrid. Half wolf, half bear. I

was part of a secret project years ago–an experiment. I led a

Chapter 205

rebellion against the wolves once. That war nearly destroyed

both sides.”

Her brows lifted. “You are a hybrid?”

“Yes. And it is my duty to hide nothing from my mate!”

She looked at me for a second, then said, “I get why you didn’t

say the truth carlier”

“You’re not upset?” I asked, watching her expression closely.

She shook her head. “No, I wouldn’t have told the truth either.

Not right away. Not here”

“You’re really going to let him use you like this?” I asked her,

after looking at her in surprise for her honesty.

“What choice do I have?” she muttered. “He’s my father. He

raised me. Taught me everything I know. He built this tribe. I

owe him.”

“You don’t owe him your future.”

She laughed once, bitterly. “That’s not how it works where I

come from!”

“It should be.”

She didn’t argue. Just sighed.

“You don’t want to marry Asher,” I said.

“No.”

“You don’t want to be used as a bargaining chip.”

“No.”

“Then help me stop him. Help me get the Silvermoon Grass.”

Ava’s head jerked up. “You’re asking me to betray him.”

“I’m asking you to do the right thing,” I said. “If we don’t stop this now, Asher’s going to start a war. The entire wolf clan is

preparing to strike. It will devastate the bear clan.”

Her voice lowered. “Has he announced the war against us?”

“Yes. And he is preparing for that.”

She walked a few steps away, then turned back to face me. “I

don’t know what to do. If I help you. I’m done. He’ll never

forgive me. And if I don’t, you’ll go to war.”

Chapter 205

“It’s not just about the war,” I said. “It’s about Violet. She’s dying.

That child inside her. he’s your mate’s nephew. Do you want to

be the reason they die?”

Ava looked down at the ground.

“You’re not your father,” I said. “That much I believe.”

She didn’t look up. “I need time.”

“You’ve got until ten tonight. That’s when I’ll be waiting–outside

Violet’s palace.”

She nodded once. I didn’t ask for more.

I left the palace through a different route, making sure none of

the guards saw me. My head was spinning the whole way back.

She didn’t say yes. But she didn’t say no.
