CHAPTER 6

　　Hutton's POV

　　My eyes fluttered and finally opened, but I shut them back as the rays of the sun radiated in, causing my head to pound. I grunted as I felt too weak to even move my finger. I can't tell how I got to that state. I arched my brow, taking a deep breath, racking my head to remember what had happened.?

　　I could feel a deep sadness in my heart, making me wonder,?

　　"You are awake?" I heard someone mutter beside me and I opened my eyes again. There was the maid and a doctor. I stared at them and noticed the streak of tears on the face of the maid. I turned to every other person there and there was no trace of a smile on their faces.?

　　I sat up immediately, even when the doctor tried coaxing me to lie back and rest.?

　　My head pounded more, making me hold it in my palm as I grunted, gnashing my teeth.?

　　"I'm sorry. How do you feel? Do you feel pain?" The doctor kept asking why I shut my eyes, thinking so hard.

　　"What happened to me?" I asked, turning sharply at them.?

　　Has he lost his memory and can't remember who his mother is? "?

　　"Hey, shut up!" The doctor shunned the warrior who just mentioned those words, but she was late as it struck me like a rod. It hit me so hard that I burst into a scream of pain...

　　I have remembered it all.

　　"My mother is dead!" I shrieked, clenching my fist so tight as hot tears formed in my eyes.?

　　"Calm down, you shouldn't..." The doctor tried patting my back but got a considerable blow from me that pushed her to the ground heavily.?

　　I sprang from the bed, fuming so hard as the pain in my heart increased a thousand folds. It looked like a dream but was reality. I had watched her die and passed out. The scene was replaying in my head now, and I was feeling my heart shred into pieces.?

　　My eyes roamed around the room as I searched for one person. I was going to kill her at first sight!?

　　Lena!?

　　"Where is Lena?" I thundered impatiently and aggressively. My vision was blurred with the tears that filled it. My mother's dying now is the worst thing that would ever happen to me. Who would I lay on her laps and tell everything that happened in school? Who would give me those sweet smiles and fondle my cheeks when I'm sad?

　　No, I must have been dreaming. She is alive!?

　　"Lena is..."

　　"Where is my mother?" I asked, staring at them all as they trembled at how angry I was making them. It wasn't time to shiver in fear. All I wanted to hear from them was,?

　　"You are hurting yourself. Your mother is dead and..." The doctor's voice was cut short as my strong palm gripped her neck tight, making her gasp for breath.?

　　"You are joking with me, right?" I asked, peering into her eyes with fury.?

　　She shook her head, trying to pull off my hand to catch her breath. I pushed her to the ground and turned, causing the guards and maids to cower in fear.?

　　"Is Lena still alive?" I asked, recalling the cause of my mother's death. Lena was the cause, and it hasn't left my head how exhausted and worn-out my mother was just because she was saving her.?

　　"She is in the prison. Your father ordered she should be kept there," one of the guards replied, looking to the ground.?

　　"My father must be stupid to keep that demon alive!" I howled, stomping out. I was feeling dizzy, my head was pounding and causing everywhere to turn around, but I was never going to stop moving. I don't care about anything, I don't mind dying. What is life without my mother??

　　"Give me the key to this place!" I ordered the two guards who were flanking the gateway of the dungeon.

　　They handed it to me, and I opened the gate, rushing in with my anger at its peak.?

　　I looked up at the girl who was already asleep, making me growl so deeply. I couldn't believe that after killing my mother, this Lena would still be kept alive and not just that, she was here sleeping peacefully.?

　　I landed two punches to her face, making me jolt up in a rush as she gasped in pain.?

　　"She is dead, right? Your mission is completed! " I howled, making her cower back, whimpering as she held her cheek where my blow had landed.?

　　"You already killed her!" I seethed and grabbed her gown, drawing her close to me with fury.?

　　"No, I... I didn't kill..." I slapped her so hard across her face, shutting her up as she fell to the ground.

　　"No need for you?to explain those lies because I'm killing you just as you did to her. Just prepare for your death. No one hurt my mother and got away scot-free. You chose to kill her!" I thundered, and she sat up with her tears rolling profusely.?

　　"I would never kill the same person who saved me!... I knew nothing about her until the day she decided to sacrifice her life for me. I don't know why, but I will surely fulfil her heart desire of killing Alpha Xavier!" She cried out, touching the dagger that was in her pocket.?

　　I stared at it, then at her face as the words my mother said to her rushed into my mind. I gnashed my teeth and howled as my wolf tried to force itself out. The sadness was so deep,?

　　I just recalled that my mother told the weakling in front of me to repay the kindness by killing Xavier, a man who is feared by everyone in America. I looked back at the young girl who made my mother die, the very one who my mother sent to kill Xavier, and it shattered my heart the more. It's either my mother was charmed by the idea of doing it, or there is a secret I don't know about.?

　　"Please don't kill me now. After I kill Xavier for your mother, you can take my life freely," she cried again, burying her face into her palm.?

　　"It is useless to die at the hands of Xavier when I can kill you here and now easily. How the hell did you think you could touch the cloak of Xavier? Talk more about killing him. Do you have any idea who he is?" I asked and she looked up.?

　　"Who is he?" She asked, inquisitively, making me more sad. Mom had made a fatal mistake.
