Chapter 283: Chapter 283

“Zion… why do you say that?” I whisper.

“She’s sick.” He says, looking at the door before shaking his head and falling silent.

Atticus frowns before his phone rings.

“I’ll go get ready too.” He murmurs, casting me a worried look before he leaves the room.

“Sia will be ok, Zion.”

“She looks worse today when I woke up,” he says.

My heart thuds as I step back, turning and rushing out of the door. My heart is in my mouth as I run down the hall and into the children’s room.

I see Sia sleeping, but despite how normal she looks, her chest is rising and falling rapidly.

“Sia…” I quickly go over to her, checking her pulse. It’s too fast! “Sia, baby?” I touch her forehead.

She’s burning up.

Please, not now… “Valerie!” I call, as I grab her medication.

Valerie comes running just as I am ready to inject her.

“Wait, Zaia… I’m not sure if giving her any more steroids will help…” she says as she checks her over.

“She’s getting worse… goddess Sebastian, where are you?” She whispers.

Fear envelops me as I pull Sia close, my heart clenching, “No, Goddess, if something happens to her…” I leave my threat hanging as I glare out of the window at the moon that glows soothingly.

You have given us nothing but pain. Don’t be so cruel as to take my angel from me.

I hold her close, but even I know I need to lead this battle.

“I will take care of her, Zaia,” Dad says as he enters the room.

I nod as I look at my sleeping child. “Please make sure she does not take any stress, or that she doesn’t get scared down there,” I whisper as I stand up, ignoring the pain. in my waist as I’kiss her on her forehead and her cheeks, fighting back my tears.

Please, Goddess…

“I promise you, nothing will happen to her,” Dad says, giving me a sad smile, one that does nothing to mask the fear in his eyes. “Are you sure about this? Do you have to go?”

“I do,” I say as I hug Zion, who smiles up at me. “Be a good boy, ok?”

I can already hear the faint commotion, hear the murmur of talking through the earpiece that Atticus is wearing from outside in the hall.

Zion nods as he cups my face. “I will.”

I cast a final glance at Sia, my heart aching as Dad takes Zion’s hand.

“Come Zion, let’s go,” Dad says quietly.

He pauses as he looks at me. I know he wants to say a thousand things but instead, we just stare at one another before I turn away and take one of the headpieces that Jai is now holding.

“Lookout has reported there’s definitely movement approaching… and they’re coming from all sides,” Jai says as I put the earpiece on. “Are you sure you will be ok?”

“Yes.” I say, “I’ll be there in five.”

My eyes are hard as I return to my room, grab a bandage that would support and protect my stomach a little and begin wrapping it around myself.

This is it. The night when it will all go down.

After putting the bandage on, I pull on a bulletproof vest and tie my hair up in a high ponytail.

“Counting at least seven hundred approaching. We will not be able to hide this from the humans… This is the kind of threat that they fear would happen,” someone murmurs.

“It doesn’t matter, we are focusing on what we need to do. The aftermath is something I’ll deal with when the time comes. Alright everyone, let’s do this,” I say as I leave my room, as Valeria and Jai fall in step with me.

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Beta Justin is handling the south side, and Beta Jai is leading the east side.” I need to give them words of assurance, but how do I do that knowing Sia is not well…

knowing that I- we have to face our previous Alpha….

“My Beta and Delta will be taking the north and west. You know your team leaders. Follow their commands, and remember, we are three packs here tonight. United as one, protect one another as you would your brother or friend. Tonight, we do this. together.” Atticus says, and I smile slightly.
