Chapter 18. Parley

Xavier's Pov

Levine vanished from my life a week after I had caught up with him. He'd gone to exact vengeance on Oberon, the Alpha of the Blue Shadow Pack who had cruelly slain my family. Yet it was I who had exacted Oberon's vengeance. After that, I waited for Levine to return, but he never did.

After my parents died, Levine was the only surviving member of my family. I sought him for nine long years, and even when I found him in New York before reaching out, he vanished from the area, almost as if he had anticipated my arrival.

Is this why Levine had distanced himself from me? Why did he refuse to return home? Why did he run away from his obligations and his pack? I pushed these thoughts aside, focusing entirely on the importance of reconciling with him.

When it came to Levine, I was unsure whether to accept my adversaries' words or not. Since Marina had divulged his location, thoughts of Levine had occupied my mind, breaking the tranquility I had found.
