    Chapter 209 The Dubois


    Lexi’s stomach sank at his words and she could practically feel the pain radiating from


    him as he spoke. “I didn’t even know you had a sister..” She murmured quietly as


    Felix’s head shot up and he red at her with an anger that quite frankly chilled her to


    the bone.


    “I don’t Lexi, not anymore.” He growled furiously before downing what was left of his


    whisky and mming the ss down on the table in anger.


    Lexi’s heart sank as her heart broke for him She had always regarded Ann as a sister


    and a lump began to form in her throat as she pictured the possibility of losing her.


    “Allen… I’m sorry… I didn’t know…” Lexi stammered quietly, suddenly at a loss for


    words.


    “Yeah… well… there’s nothing to be sorry about. It won’t change anything. It is what it


    is.” He snapped gruffly as he raised an arm to signal the omega for a refill.


    Lexi fully understood now why he hadn’t wanted to discuss this with her. It was painful


    for him obviously, and it was obvious the Dubois family had something to do with her


    death She could have kicked herself


    This was one time that she really shouldn’t have pushed for more details She snorted


    quietly to herself in disdain. She had wrongly thought that Allen was just being difficult,


    and that perhaps he still continued to underestimate her, but ironically, this time, she


    was the arsehole.


    She shifted awkwardly in her seat and brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear


    as she swirled the wine in her ss thoughtfully.


    “I’m sorry Allen. If I had thought for one minute that it was something like this that you


    didn’t want to discuss, I would have waited. I wouldn’t have pushed so hard for you to


    tell me. You don’t have to continue if you don’t want to.” Lexi said finally in a hushed


    tone as the omega approached the table with a bottle in one hand and an ice bucket


    in the other.


    Lexi watched her pour him a new ss and add the ice, but when she was about to


    turn and leave, Lexi reached out and took hold of her arm.


    “You can leave the bottle and the ice bucket if you wouldn’t mind.” She said as the


    omega bobbed her head and hastened to do as she was told, cing the items


    carefully on the table before her before scurrying away again.


    Allen eyed her carefully as he took another sip from his ss and this time, ced it


    carefully on the table. “I think both of us need to learn to trust one another when things


    are said.” Allen said with a faint smile, “As it is, I’ve started telling you now, so I may


    as well finish.”


    He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily as he tilted his head backward, staring at


    the ceiling for a long time before returning his gaze to meet Lexi’s, the unshed tears


    sparkling in the corners of his eyes.


    “I didn’t know it at the time, but as they carried me off thebat field, with Alora


    clutching onto my hands desperately as she sobbed and I clung to what little


    consciousness remained, his protests quietened as he became fixated on her as he


    was dragged away.” Allen continued


    “Alora was your sister?” Lexi asked softly, seeing the tenderness in his eyes as he


    recalled the memory of her.


    “Yes,” He nodded gently as he fiddled with his ss on the table before him. “She was


    such a little thing, almost thirteen years and full of an insatiable curiosity about


    everything.”


    Allen paused as his face hardened and Lexi waited patiently for him to continue. She


    wouldn’t rush this, or force it from him. If he was telling her now, it would be in his own


    time.


    “She waited patiently in the corridor whilst I underwent surgery for the bones that had


    been misced during the hammering I took and were protruding through the skin in

    ces. They had to work quickly to ensure that the natural healing abilities we


    possess as wolves didn’t fuse the bones in the positions they were in.” He exined


    as he saw a flicker of confusion in Lexi’s eyes, and as she nodded in understanding,


    he continued.


    “As soon as I was brought out of the theater, she was at my side again. Our parents


    had been away on diplomatic matters, so she felt duty-bound to be there for me. If she


    had just stayed home, and not attended the tournament as I had told her …” He


    trailed off bitterly as Lexi’s hand found his and her fingers curled around him tightly,


    the touch of her skin spreading an almost euphoric feeling of calmness through his


    fraught emotions


    “You can’t me yourself. . I don’t know everything but… it certainly doesn’t sound


    like you were at fault for whatever happened.” Lexi offered inmiseration as Alien’s


    face which had begun to rx only seconds earlier, hardened instantly again.


    “I don’t me myself, Lexi. I me Jasper. He was the one who incapacitated me in


    order to have some small revenge on Adam, and when that hadn’t quite sated his lust


    for power, he chose to pursue a vile and abhorrent act that the Goddess herself will


    punish him for when his wolf is called home.” He snarled, his canines bared in fury as


    Orvar’s presence shed in his eyes.


    “The f****g coward waited until I was sedated in the evening and asleep again, before


    sneaking his way in and enticing my sister away. In her innocence, she followed him,


    knowing full well that he was a diplomatic visitor and a son of the king, so what harm


    could possibly befall her?” He snorted almost regretfully, “She didn’t stand a chance,


    Lexi. As soon as he had got her deep enough into the woods, he took her


    innocence…”


    Allen’s voice cracked and he took a moment topose himself as Lexi covered her


    mouth in horror and Allen continued, his voice deadly and his eyes glowing with the


    murderous rage that rippled from him ominously.


    “He r***d her Lexi. Jasper r***d my twelve-year-old little sister and destroyed her body


    and spirit in unspeakable ways before he left her for dead. They found her the next


    morning, during a patrol of the perimeter barely clinging to life. She barely had the


    strength to utter his name and identify him as her attacker, before she lost


    consciousness.” Allen finished, his chest heaving with emotion as Lexi wept silently.


    “She never regained consciousness, and my parents never got to say goodbye before


    she left us…” He finished somberly as he stared into the bottom of his ss for a few


    moments, clearly deep in thought.


    Without another word, he lifted the ss to his lips one more and drained the


    contents, crunching the ice between his teeth as he reached for the bottle and poured


    more of the fiery liquid that smothered his emotions into his now empty ss. “That’s


    why I detest the Dubois, Lexi Jasper or Felix, it doesn’t matter to me, they are still


    blood rtions and cut from the same cloth. Jasper went unpunished and continued


    to live with his little brother thanks to the King’s immunity from punishment whilst in


    diplomatic attendance, whilst I lost the light of our family, my little sister, and spent


    years ming myself for her death.”
