Chapter 0235

ZAIA.

I look down at my gun on the bed and trying to keep my heart steady, I grab the gun

and spin around, swinging it at the person creeping up on me.

It’s a man. He’s tall and clearly well–built, wearing black sweatpants and a hoodie. It’s all I see as a low

snarl escapes him and he shoves me back with immense force.

Blindly, I pull the trigger on the gun. The sound is loud as the bullet hits the ceiling. The man is on top

of me fast, his knee to my stomach as he throws me onto the bed, grabbing my hair as he hits me

across the face.

I kick out blindly, trying to get up, only for the man to throw a punch at me. I can. taste blood in my

mouth as I struggle to free myself and roll off the bed, hitting the

carpeted floor.

This man is strong.

Everything is happening so fast and the way he’s moving, I can tell he is not new to

this.

He’s wearing a baseball cap that covers his eyes and although I’m trying to get a look

at him, I’m unable to.

He grabs hold of my ankle when I try to kick him and yanks my legs out from under me, but this time

I’m ready and I don’t plan to go down that easily this time.

I’m unable to pull the trigger on the gun that I’m still holding, but twisting, I slam the end of it into his

crotch with all the strength I can muster, a low growl ripping from

my throat.

He grunts and lets go of me, yanking the gun from my hold and swinging it at me. despite clutching his

crotch. I jump to my feet, breathing hard..

“You hurt her… didn’t you?” I ask, my voice shaking.

He doesn’t reply, and he’s recovered fast, rushing at me once again, but this time I’m

ready.

1/5

Mom might still wake up..

“I really don’t know what is so special about you… but you picked the wrong side!” He snarls, before he

swings his fist at me. I duck, kicking out at his feet from beneath him. he staggers, falling to one knee,

but he’s up fast.

“What’s going on?!” The shout from a guard comes.

I see him glance towards the window.

I can’t let him get away!

He’s about to run to the window and I throw myself at him, trying to stop him. We struggle for a few

moments, the running footsteps getting closer.

Just a bit longer!

Suddenly he slams his elbow into my chest, throwing me off with such power I go. flying across the

room and hit the far wall.

I groan as I slide down the wall. Pain rushes through my head, as the door is thrown open just as Zade

jumps through the window smashing right through the glass.

“What’s going on?!” One of the guards shouts as three men burst through the door.

I scramble to my feet.

“Out the window! Secure the area! Capture him! We have a killer out there!” I shout as

the guards rush to do my bidding.

“What is…” the guard trails off as he stares at the bed.

“Take the staff into custody, I want to know how this happened!” I say, feeling dizzy.

“Yes, Alpha!” Two more men rush from the room, and I touch the back of my head.

I can feel the wetness and look down at my fingers.

Blood.

My head is pounding incessantly, and I can barely see straight.

I walk over to the bed, as I watch one of the guards check Mom’s pulse. Deep down I

pray that maybe I’m mistaken and that there’ll be a heartbeat. Even if it’s quiet…

Please let me be wrong.

He turns to look at me and from the look in his eyes, I know what he’s going to say.

I know it but I don’t want to hear it.

“Ma’am, she…”

“I know,” I say as I look at Mom’s lifeless body on the bed.

Her battered body is a painful reminder that when she needed me, I wasn’t here…

She’s gone.

She’s really gone…

Sadness and guilt crush me as I place a hand on my chest, trying to breathe.

A part of me wants to run after Zade and make him pay, but I can’t do anything like

this… I can barely walk straight.

I look at the wall behind me, realising I had hit my head on the corner of the chest of

drawers.

“I need to get to my father’s home fast, order for backup to be sent there

immediately, and make sure all the staff and guards are accounted for. I will be

questioning everyone.” I say clearly.

As much as I want to mourn her, I need to make sure Dad is safe.

I rush to the window, trying to push the dizziness away and leap out. I shift mid–air,

landing lithely as I run towards Dad’s home, my surroundings becoming a blur.

I’m trying not to focus on the pain or injury, more worried about him. What if something’s happened to

him?

The very thought terrifies me. What if Zade managed to contact someone?! What if

someone is with Dad and they kill him?

My heart is pounding, fear filling me as I push myself faster….

+15 BONUS

Reaching Dad’s home, I can see the guards are already teeming into the building.

I leap through the door that the guards have clearly forced open. I shift back into human form, as

several guards raise their guns at me only to recognise me and lower their heads. Averting their gaze.

“Find Father!” I command as I motion and one of the guards offers me a shirt, keeping his gaze down.

“Thanks,” I say as I pull it on and rush up the stairs, trying to pick up on Dad’s scent.

Please, Goddess, don’t let anything happen to him!
