Chapter 229: Chapter 229

$25 BONGO Gerard… that bastard.

I will kill him, I plan to. Once the antidote has been administered to Sia, I will turn on them. They probably are expecting me to do so, but tonight I fucked up.

I was meant to leave… but I couldn’t.

I’m going to have to…

I knew of the rogues‘ allegiance to the Sable. After all, Gerard was able to mind- link me in prison.

Although Gerard was awake, a traitor kept him in a state where his heartbeat was slow. It was all a well–thought–out plan, and they had succeeded.

(FLASHBACK)

‘Sebastian, can you hear me?‘

I sit up in my cell, scanning the darkness. Why did it feel like that voice is in my head? And why the fuck did it sound like Gerard’s?

“Who’s there?” I ask coldly.

‘You might be better off keeping your voice down, Sebastian. I am talking to you through the connection of blood and our wolves…‘

‘Gerard.‘ I snarl, able to somehow reply, I know he heard as I can feel a connection between us.

He’s awake?

‘Sebastian, although I was just a donor, you are still biologically my son, and you now know that you belong on my side. The Sable is your calling, and you must answer the decree of the wronged Goddess.‘

‘Wronged fucking Goddess? I answer to no call, and regardless if that is what being the wildcard meant, I don’t answer to you or the Sable. I still have a fucking score to settle with those two fucking losers of yours.‘ I snarl back through this telepathic connection.

Whatever this is, it’s a deadly ability to have…

Gerard could be talking to anyone from inside these prison walls.

‘I know you don’t and that is why you will lead those two said losers.‘ His dry chuckle fills my mind.

‘However, what are you fighting for? Those who talked +25 BONOS about you behind your back all your life. Who whispered behind your back just because you enjoyed a run? Something that any powerful Alpha should enjoy. For being who you were born to be? You will side with those hypocrites? Those elitists?”

“You speak just like them. You made a mistake to contact me because I will now make sure you’re fucking sedated.‘ I reply venomously. “And I will kill you myself for touching Zaia.”

‘It looks like we are not going to see eye to eye… So, I’ll just cut to the chase. There is one important factor in this entire situation. Sia.‘

My stomach twists and his chuckle fills my head once more, but this time there’s a victory within it. ‘I see that I now have your full attention.‘

(END OF FLASHBACK)

“There are no tracks or anything. And Alpha Atticus and his men have found nothing. We’ve moved the pack members who live on the outskirts of town to the Pack Hall and to the King Hotels with security tightened.” Justin says.

Zaia nods as she runs her fingers through her silky hair as it falls in front of her face again. She still has remnants of blood on her, and I can see she is exhausted.

“Ok, is anyone unaccounted for?” She asks.

“There’s a handful, Alpha, mostly those in their late teens and early twenties, but we are tracking them and making sure they are safe. As well as those who are on holiday, although they have been notified of the situation, not all have answered.”

“And those not in the country?” Záia asks.

“The same goes for those studying abroad.” He explains. “We’ve stressed that they do not return at this time.”

Zaia nods, but she’s still on edge. “I’m probably missing something…”

“That’s enough for today, Zaia. You’ve done what you needed to. Stay on alert. That is all that matters.

Come Zaia, you need rest.”

“Alpha Sebastian is right. You have taken care of everyone and everything. The stocking of hospital supplies that you also requested are already being prepared and will be brought to the pack hall tomorrow.” Justin tells her.

She really has thought of everything, but she is doubting herself.

“Come, Zaia.”

Our eyes meet and I stare into those amethyst ones, trying to burn the image of them into my mind.

The flecks of darker purple… the glimmer…

I observe her face, the dusting of freckles… her slender nose… plump lips…

Will I get a chance to see them up close again?

“Bastien?”

“Come,” I say, turning my back on her.

Probably not.
