Chapter 153

I’m healing well. Soon I’ll be back to full strength.
“Alright, both of you stay with her, we are on our way back,” I say to Jai just as I hold my hand out to
Zion, but at the same time so does Hugh.
Zion looks between us as a grin crosses his lips before I retract mine and Hugh smiles. As much as
they’re mine, he has taken care of them, and they are his grandchildren,
An hour has passed since we returned, but Valerie has been in an extremely strange state since she
woke up.
Even when I talked to her, she refused to answer, and she has done. nothing but cling to Zaia. Zaia has
made us leave the room so she can talk to her alone, but I can hear her begging Zaia to take her away
from here.
Her words make me feel uneasy as they ring in my head.
‘Get the children! Get your children we must go far, far away! Don’t
trust them, don’t trust anyone!’
The fear in her voice is not something that can be faked.
“She needs rest,” Melanie says as she sits there carrying Sia.
Hugh is frowning but doesn’t reply and Jai is sitting there tapping his foot. He’s worried and restless but
he’s trying to hold himself together.
I know he’s hurt because whenever he tried to talk to her or go near her, she got worked up. There has
to be a reason behind it…

We can’t hear anything from out here, and it’s just a waiting game hoping that she has something to tell
Zaia regarding why she’s so worried.
It feels like hours, although it’s a mere twenty-minutes waiting for
Zaia to come out.
The silence in the hall is loud, and after another five minutes, Zaia steps out of the room. Zion rushes to
her and hugs her, and she smiles down at him as she hugs him back, but it’s clear from the look. in her
eyes that she’s troubled.
Jai stands up, looking at her expectantly.
“What did she say?” Hugh asks, talking for the first time since we
returned.
She looks down and shakes her head. “She’s not saying. She doesn’t remember anything. I think it’s
what’s causing her panic. Tonight, I have a pack meeting and I want her to be there too… she isn’t safe
to be alone, she’s very disturbed.” She sighs.
“Don’t worry, we’ll bring her and make sure she’s happy with whoever
is around her.
“Thank you.” She says quietly.
“So, she didn’t say anything? Did she see her attacker?” Melanie asks, concern on her face.
“Nothing,” Zaia answers.
Before anyone can say anything more, a member of staff comes down the hall.
“Ma’am, this was delivered for you.” She says to Zaia.
Oh s hit. That’s the envelope I had sorted for her regarding Melanie. With everything going on, I had
forgotten to even give her a heads-up.

She opens it distractedly as everyone watches her.
F uck, how do I tell her?
It’s too late. As she pulls the card out, reading it, her heart races as her gaze snaps to my mine before
she stares down at the card once
more.
“Zaia, are you alright?” Melanie asks,
Well, at least her reaction is real.-
Zaia stares down at the card, reading it all as Hugh crosses the room, making Zaia step back and hide
it behind her back. “This… this is for my eyes only…” she murmurs, staring at her mother. “Mother…
can we have a word alone? Now?”
Melanie looks confused as she stares between us before she nods and stands up. Zaia walks down the
hall to the lounge and Melanie follows.
I hope Zaia gets the answers she desires…
And something tells me that tonight will be intense…
