Chapter 0179

SEBASTIAN.

“Don’t hate him, Sebastian. He is hurting. I am not sure what has gotten into him, but he does love

you.”

“I don’t care, Mom. We’ve never seen eye to eye… guess I’m a reminder that he is incapable of even

having a child. He’s probably simply jealous because in every way I’m better than him.” I say coldly.

I know it’s harsh, but it’s the only logical reason.

“Sebastian, you’re hurt too, just… ignore it.”

“If he really doesn’t want me to be alpha, then he can challenge me for the title. After all, I am currently

within my rights to be the Alpha. If he wants it back, then he can fight me for it. But from this day

onward, I no longer consider him my father.” I stand up, feeling the pent-up emotions inside of me

bubbling to the surface.

“Sebastian please!”

“No. I’m done.” I say.

I grab my jacket I had removed earlier, slinging it over my shoulder as I leave the room.

I’m getting Zaia and we’re leaving. It was a f ucking mistake to come here. I’m almost at the living room

door when I pause.

Gerard is my biological father… His words earlier about me being his son make me sick. I don’t want to

face him… I’ll call her from outside.

I can’t think straight right now, I just can’t, and it feels like my head is going to explode if anyone says

one more word to me.

I need to get out of here.

I exit the house and take out my phone to make the call to Zaia, glancing at the lounge window. My

finger is hovering over the call button when I freeze.

My blood runs cold, my eyes blazing silver. There, standing in each. other’s embrace, their lips locked

in a deep kiss, are Zaia and Gerard.

What the f uck is going on?

I step back, refusing to believe it.

I’m seeing things, I’m f ucking seeing things.

I turn away, striding to my car. No matter how angry and f ucking pis sed I am, I can’t leave her. I’ll have

security come to collect her…

My hands are shaking with rage and confusion as I get into the car and I’m about to drive off when I

pause.

No…

She wouldn’t do that. This has to be a setup. I know I saw what I f ucking saw! But… F uck!

Focus, Sebastian, f ucking focus!

I get out of the car and head back inside just as Mom’s scream pierces the air and the metallic smell of

blood fills the air.

There are a few members of staff outside the door of the lounge where I had seen them kissing

moments earlier.

Is she ok?!

rush to the entrance, pushing past them, my heart in my mouth.

The very thought of something happening to Zaia makes my blood run cold and I burst into the lounge

to see Mom kneeling on the floor beside Gerard, who is unconscious, sprawled on the ground.

There are streaks of blood down the corner of the fireplace and there’s blood spilling from his head.

What happened?

Zaia is standing there, her face ghostly as she looks up at me.

‘He tried to kiss me! I only pushed him away!’

The words aren’t spoken and I’m not sure if it’s my wishful thinking but it’s almost as if I can hear them

in my mind. Not the first time it’s happened, and it is f ucking weird.

“It’s going to be OK,” I say quietly, crossing the room and pulling her into my arms.

She clings to me, her entire body shaking, and her heart is thumping violently. My own head is

pounding with the chaos that is spinning around us.

“Call for help! He’ll die!” Mom screams,

“We need to take him to the hospital!” The butler says as Zaia tugs on my shirt.

“Ba stien, I didn’t mean to hurt him, he tried…” she looks around. “He…”

“I get it. Let’s get out of here.” I say quietly.

I can tell she didn’t mean to. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I intend to find out when we are

alone. Right now, I need to keep my head on straight.

“Arrest her!” Dad’s cold voice comes from the entrance as two of the men lift Gerard up and rush from

the room.

“I’m the Alpha and I’m in charge here. No one is arresting her!” I snarl dangerously, moving her behind

me protectively. “We don’t even know what happened. Do not jump to conclusions!”

+25 BONUS

“I know that Gerard is near dead because of what happened.” He shoots back, his eyes filled with

anger.

“No.”

“What do you mean no!” Dad snarls as four guards step into the room.

“Because she is innocent, I’m the one who pushed him. I did it.” I say, suddenly making Mom and Zaia

gasp.
