My eyes blaze as her words ring in my mind, my head suddenly begins thumping and the sudden
ringing in my ears intensifies.
He deceived me…
Everything I did… was for fucking nothing…
I clench my fists, trying to control myself from shifting, turning and ripping the enemy to shreds.
I’m about to turn away when I hear the light footsteps of two small pairs of feet that make me pause.
Looking over my shoulder, I see Zion and Sia standing there, hand in hand, as they look at me wide–
eyed.
“I knew you would come back for us, Daddy,” Zion says with confidence, a small smile crossing his lips.
He’s alert and fresh despite the time but Sia looks… sick…
Extremely sick, her face has lost all colour, her hair is limp and there are small bags under her eyes
Fuck.
I push past Hugh and Valerie, crouching down before my kids and pull them into my arms. Instantly I
can hear her unsteady heart rate and my heart clenches.
I failed her.
I fucking failed her…
“Where have you been, Daddy? We missed you?” Her little voice asks, crushing
me even more.
“I’m sorry, I never should have left,” I whisper, fighting back the emotions that are crippling me.
How do I save her? She looks worse than before. She’s fucking dying, and no matter what I do, I can’t
fix this!
“No Daddy, you shouldn’t have left. But it’s ok, you are here now. Now Sia will be alright,” Zion says
confidently and I wish he was right… but what can I do when everything I thought I was doing for her
was in vain?
“I’m sure she will be,” I respond quietly as my heart crumbles a little more. I failed them all.

“We need to go to Mommy,” Zion says.
“Yes, I will go now. Take care of your sister.” I say to him as I kiss their foreheads, hugging my princess
closer. I would give my heart to her if it will help her, I would do anything for her to live.
“No Daddy, we must all go.” Zion persists, as I let go of Sia and stand up.
Ready to kill them all, starting with Gerard.
“No, son, you need to stay here. I’m heading out. I’m going to find them and end. them.” I growl.
“Wait!” Valerie says as she kneels before Zion. “Let Zion speak… What do you mean by that Zion?”
I frown as I turn back to them.
“Zion was the one who alerted Zaia that the Sable are on the way, and he was right,” Hugh explains,
making Dad look at Zion in surprise and curiosity.
“We need to go to Mommy! Sia and me, and Daddy and Aunty Velly. We need to‘ complete the third
tiqetra and then create the ultimate tiqetra,” he says, spreading his arms. “And then, that’s how we heal
Sia!”
“The third Triquetra?” I ask, my brows furrowing. What the fuck is going on and how the hell does this
boy know all this?
“Yes, the moon goddess said she had to make a third tiqetra to fix the things she created when she
was mad. All this fighting. We have to stop it.”
“This is freaky,” I mutter as Valerie cups his face.
“And how will the third Triquetra be completed?” she asks him, ignoring me.
He shrugs. “Easy. The Moon Goddess said me, that Sia and our baby brother in. mommy’s tummy will
complete it. We are the third tiqetra!”
My heart is racing, and it’s not only because of his crazy revelation but what he had just said…
Zaia’s… pregnant.
Zaia’s fucking pregnant, she’s injured, and she’s out there. Fighting.
Turning, I break into a run, unable to stop myself from shifting, my heart thundering in my ears. The
only thing I can think of is getting to Zaia.
Fast.
