Chapter 173
Xander’s POV:
Caldan brushed himself up and walked over to where Sabrina lay. He stared at her and shook his head, muttering something I didn’t catch. He carried her up and turned me.
“This is where we say our goodbyes, brother.” He said in that fake, controlled tone he always used. “I will be back, definitely, You cannot be allowed to roam this earth any longer. And I will be glad to put you out of your misery.
“Coward.” I hissed at him. “You want to kill me, do it now. And leave Sabrina out of this. This is between the both of ust
He laughed. “Yeah, no. I don’t listen to you anymore.” He turned to leave and paused. “By the way, I have a question for you?
I narrowed my eyes. “What?”
“Sabrina. You knew I showed interest in her first. And yet you fucked her. Why did you do that?”
I inhaled sharply.
“You knew I loved her. But the moment I was gone, you swooped in and made your move. Quite shameless of you, don’t you think? And while you’re my older brother nonetheless. Why did you do that?”
I admit, I deserve his harsh words. But I can’t simply sit back and watch him leave. Not with Sabrina. “Caldan, drop her this instant. That’s an order.”
“An order?”
“Yes.
He dropped Sabrina on the bed and walked over to me. I expected a lot of things, one of them wasn’t him delivering an uppercut to my jaw. He grabbed my collar and forced me to look into his eyes.
“Listen up here. I’m sick and tired of you ord ing me around! My entire fucking life! Do this! Do that! Stay back! Stand down! Fuck you!”
“Caldan-”
“Don’t call me! I said fuck you! I’m sick and tired of you!” He pulled back, breathing heavily. “I’m done. You’re useless to me now. You’re fucking dead to me.”
“Caldan I wasn’t asking.”
“Yeah. Do you think I’m asking? Oh that’s right. You actually need me.youre pretty useless without me. Who will represent you at your meetings right now? Huh?! Who will you your perfect little representative?!”
That doesn’t concern me. Caldan being my representative wasn’t set in stone. Anyone can do it.
All I care about right now is Sabrina. I can’t let him leave this place with her. I simply can’t.
“Nothing to say huh?” He spat. He went to pick her up again
I pushed against the magic holding me down. The witch moved her staff, slamming me into the ground. I forced my head up, her mocking laughter filling the air.
“Oh this is fun.” Caldan said, joining her.
“Yes..it is. But I’m afraid I’ll be dead if he comes free.”

Caldan waved dismissively. “That’s impossible. Once we’re out of here, he won’t be able to find us. Or por
“Is that so?”
“Yes. And besides,” He turned to me. “I’ll be back to kill him. His only selling point is his immortality side that he’s we
1 would laugh at the absurdity of it all, if he wasn’t carrying Sabrina up again
“When I kill him, I’ll take his throne. And then, I’ll make you my queen. That way he would never loves you” He said so the witch.
Ah. Another one falls for his sugar coated lies. I was right. He is doing everything he can to kill me, and that included promising every random woman who had powers he could exploit that she’d be his queen
My heart skipped a beat. Did he make the same promise to Sabrina? And now she’s going to meet her death at his handst
No. No way.
My heart began to race. The entire time I’ve been able to keep calm. I can’t do that any longer.
Caldan turned to me, his eyes pools of evil. “Goodbye brother. Till we meet again,”
The world slowed.
A cold feeling settled in my chest. It took me a second to realize that it was.
Fear.
If Caldan steps out of here with Sabrina, I may never be able to find her.
The cold claws of fear gripped my heart and squeezed. It felt difficult to swallow, my vision tunneled and a ringing sound exploded in my ears.
Never had I felt this amount of fear, fear of losing someone before.
Not even when I lost Katherine. Back then it was swift, I could barely react and she was gone.
But it’s different right now. Sabrina is right here. Caldan is taking her away from me. And I can’t move. I’m frozen, trapped to the ground and crushed under invisible weights.
Forced to watch as he takes her away.
“No…” I can’t recognize the anguished voice that came out of my throat.
I can’t lose her. I can’t fucking lose Sabrina. Not when I just found her. Not after all I went through searching for her, believing she was dead, only to see her in the flesh again. Whole. Healthy. And angry.
I haven’t had the chance to apologize to her. I haven’t had the chance to make up for all my shitty behavior. I haven’t given her the chance to take out all her anger on me, I haven’t done anything.
And she’s going to be gone.
“No. Caldan. Stop!” I can’t hold back the emotions in my voice. My eyes went wide, and my heart thumped faster. “Put her down! Let her go this instant!”
Caldan turned to me, his face full of disgust. “You’re still ordering me around. Pathetic.”
I can’t lose her. I never thought I could be so fearful of losing someone. My heart won’t be able to take it. I can’t do this to
her!

Chapter 173
“Take us of here dear,” Caldan said to the woman. “Somewhere far away where he won’t be able to find us.”
“As you wish” She lifted her staff. Suddenly, she froze.
Right before my eyes, she turned to a solid figure of ice.
Hope soared in my chest. There was only one person who could use ice magic like that.
The weights vanished from my body and I sprang to my feet. Nifra rushed to my side, her eyes glowing an icy blue. She bowed and glanced over at the witch. Her eyes hardened and she waved her hand, freezing her over again.
Caldan stumbled back, panic crossing his eyes. He turned to leave and was suddenly frozen in his track.
“Not so fast now.” A voice said behind me. I didn’t need to turn to know it was Acheron.
