Chapter 534: Fall in Love with Me (Zane Spade)

“How do you feel now?” I entered the room after hours of what had happened. I first took a shower before rushing to hug her.

She was pure, so I didn’t want her to get dirty with all the blood in my body.

She was also given some time and a woman who helped her clean and settle into my bedroom. There was this feeling of happiness in my heart that I hadn’t felt in a long time.

It was almost like a feeling of innocence, something I’ve lost along the way. He was starting out on the couch with his arms covering his body. The black dress looked so good on her pale skin. Her long hair was still wet, but her eyes were glued to the side of the ground.

“He refuses to eat,” complained the woman in charge of his care, moving out of my way.

“Okay. You can leave now. I’ll take care of her myself,” I said and watched the lady leave the room. Once it was just the two of us, I firmly approached and sat next to him. “Maura!” I said her name and she sneered, tears formed in her eyes and made them shine.

“When I was shot with an iron bullet, I even thought I had died. I wake up again with the iron melting in my body. It’s so funny that even I didn’t remember my body melting iron,” the way he started explaining it made me wonder where this conversation was going.

“They left me on the riverbank where some people found me. The man you just killed took me home where he chained me to the walls for years to come. The chains he used were silver, so I couldn’t melt them. He did something unthinkable to me,” a tear came from his eyes as he spoke lifelessly.

“I got pregnant a few times before he ruled out pregnancy because he didn’t want it,” she laughed before starting to cry. My heart was bursting with anger. I wish I hadn’t killed that man so easily. He deserved to suffer.

“I went through a lot, Zane, but I never thought about killing him,” she finished, and Maura raised her head to look at me.

“Looking at you makes me wonder, why did you go through to become so evil?” Hearing those words from his lips was like dying at that very moment.

She loved me to the point that even if I hurt her, she wouldn’t raise her voice to me. Losing that respect in his eyes was the biggest failure I’ve encountered so far. “I’m not—,” I closed my lips tightly when I noticed her shaking her head.“Did you kill your own brother?” he asked, and then his lips trembled. “Zane! You used to be so funny, so cute, a little disloyal, but not this! His sobs killed me. He didn’t cry as much when he talked about what his life had been like. So, I must say that watching me walk down this road must have been more than her own misery to her.

At that moment, I began to wonder what I can tell him to get him to accept me again. I didn’t like him looking at me like that.

“I didn’t want to kill my brother. I was clueless all that time. No one told me what was going on,” I said as I grabbed his hands quickly, but I felt him let go of mine and away from me.

“Maura! After your death, a lot happened. Saviors and villains were being exposed. I didn’t know who I was. I just thought Maddox was the man from hell. Remember that girl, Reign? She became my brother’s seer. She told them who I was and they decided to dismiss me without even telling me why. All that time, I thought my mission was to take care of Maddox. But in reality, they brought me here to kill me with the white dagger that Helel hid. They made a plan for Maddox to convince me to come here and they would finish the job of getting rid of the evil. I would already be dead if my aunt hadn’t come at the right time. She arrived at the right time and during a fight, I stabbed my brother. I was devastated and couldn’t believe what had just happened,”

I paused when I saw his eyes grow in size.

That’s when I remembered Maddox’s face and my body shivered a little. He came here to keep me safe and see what I did to him.

“And...” I got so lost in my thoughts that I forgot I was expecting more,” and then after so much, they called me once again and told me they were going to put Maddox to rest. I agreed to attend and went there. I even signed a treaty with them because I didn’t want any more trouble, but what they did was even despicable. They attacked my people behind my back, killed my aunt and left her body and many others scattered around—I finished and covered my face with my hands.

All I could think about was Maddox’s eyes staring at me when I stabbed him. It was as if I didn’t take out his heart, but he took mine.

“I heard,” he paused as he gently ran his hand through my hair.

“They don’t like me. They won’t stop until they finish finishing me off. They have even planned the war, but you must have seen all the dead werewolves. I have nothing. I’m not even preparing. I’m just gathering as many people as I can to keep us safe,”

once I said that, I noticed the change in his attitude towards me.
