The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

---- And I gulp to look up at Xavier.

He was seated in the centre.

Looking bored.

Ever since I came in he looked like he was least interested in this hearing.

His eyes had not once met mine and he was busy reading some papers.

He murdered that man in cold blood yet I am getting questioned here.

Of course He is the great werewolf King.

Te could never be wrong.

He..

He was bullying that boy..

Cret Mrs Sierra.

Let's be specific here.

He was bullying a Cret.

So how did you induce that it was bullying.

He pushed and told him that he wasn't allowed to come to the party- Which is true Mrs Sierra.

It was a pureblood party.

Crets are not allowed.

Sir Xavier has here given them the liberty to have their parties.

No purebloods visit ---- eee those parties.

Orders have been passed to respect each other's spaces and cultures.

T would not call this bullying now- My fists clench.

Really? Are they all fucking blind? But he was forcing him to lick his shoes! They all sigh.

To look at each other and move their heads in a no.

We asked all the guests.

No one claimed anything of that sort.

Liars.

They all were some fucked up liars.

But then they all hate Crets.

Why would they testify in his favour? I should have known.

Keep this aside.

I am eager to know Mrs Sierra.

Do you kind of have a sofi spot for the Creatures.

Another female elder asks, rotating a quill in her ---- fingers and I know I have to choose my words mindfully.

They are waiting for one mistake from my side.

Creatures aren't as they are portrayed.

I admit they lack the etiquette of high class and manners at times.

But they are really loving- Tsk tsk you are using the wrong word here, Mrs Sierra.

We call it bewitching.

They are known to seduce the opposite sex with their appeal and then control them without the subject even knowing.

Some subjects call it the trap of love.

A lot of women have been used and trapped in it.

Our previous Queen.

Queen Rosaline was sadly one of them...

and see what it lead to.

Rosaline.

Xavier, Dom and Adrian's mother.

What are they saying? The trap of love That bastard Gereld abused her.

Hunter, Adrian's father helped save her.

He loved her.

---- eee = Don't they know the story? Or maybe this is the lie they have been feeding to themselves.

Blaming it all on the Crets.

Isn't it the easiest answer to everything? Their King, Gerald could never be wrong, right? Marital rape is no rape, right? What did it lead to? I question deliberately.

Eager to listen to their side of the story.

And one of them sighs to speak.

Queen Rosaline got bewitched by that low-grade Cret called Hunter.

He was using her to get closer to the crown.

But then at the right time, King Gerald caught him.

He loved Queen Rosaline so much....

Yet he had to see her getting hanged.

The bastard Cret was found and murderer but the loss had already been done.

We dont want history repeating itself Mrs Sierra.

We want to be sure that you weren't bewitched by that bastard son.

We need to be sure Adrian Volkov
