Chapter 166
0166
“How can you be so sure? What if the enemy is right here?” she asks quietly, glancing at the two men.
I frown slightly, looking across at Ja and Sebastian.
“Both B astian and Jai have only hoped for your recovery, Val. Jai gave up his position as Beta to take
care of you.” I don’t want to throw that at her, but she needs to know they are not going to hurt her.
She falls silent.
“Val, tell us, who attacked you that night?” Jai asks quietly.
I look down at Zion, who is busy watching on my phone, but I know he’s always observant of those
around us and what is going on.
“He… I didn’t see his face…. But I saw his eyes, and he looked… he looked like you. He sounded like
you.” She says, grabbing my wrist as she stares at Sebastian.
The shooter on the motorbike…
My heart thuds. So I’m not the only one who thought he looked like Sebastian.
“Well, you can rest assured it wasn’t Seb. That night we went back to your apartment, the both of us
together. Someone else had been inside and they had hurt you. It was not Seb.” Jai says quietly.
“Yes, you will say that. After all, you are his Beta, and it is your duty to serve him!” Valerie says coldly.
Jai’s eyes flash with hurt, but he looks away, trying to hide it.
“It wasn’t me, Valerie. If we wanted you dead, we could have ended you that night instead of calling
security. Why would he give up his

position to take care of you?”
“I don’t know. You tell me, Alpha, was it to kill me if he ever got a chance to do so?”
Sebastian’s eyes flash, but I shake my head, motioning him to let me handle it.
I put my hand on Valerie’s shoulder and give her a gentle smile. Despite the turmoil inside of her, I
need her to think clearly.
“We wouldn’t have kept you alive for so long if we wanted you gone, Valerie,” Sebastian says quietly,
but his voice holds a dangerous edge.
It’s clear Jai’s disappointment has gotten to him, and I can’t blame him. He has done everything for her-
but she almost died. How can I blame her for being scared?
Valerie stares back at him defiantly and for the first time since she woke up, she’s got that spark back
that she did when she used to be
Doctor Scott that no one messes with….
“Oh no,” Zion says making us all turn to him.
“What is it, Zion?” I ask.
He stares back at me with saucer-like eyes. “Someone is pretending
to be Daddy and they want everyone to not like Daddy.”
The car falls silent as his words echo in our minds.
He isn’t wrong…this man keeps himself hidden, but he has no objection to showing his eyes which are
clearly very similar to Sebastian’s..
“Then the question is, who?” I ask the silent car.
“I don’t know…” Valerie says quietly. “It was just his eyes and voice.”
“We will find out.” Jai says, “And we will get revenge on him for taking
+25 BONUS
years of your life, Valerie… I promise you… Even if it was Seb, I would have chosen the right path… do
you really think so low of me?”
Their eyes meet before Valerie turns away, and Sebastian sighs as he sits back.
“Trust us,” I say, and she nods hesitantly.
“What else did he say? In fact, what happened that night? Tell us, from the moment you stepped into
your apartment. What happened?” Sebastian asks her.
She looks at each of us and her eyes darken, looking almost haunted before she closes her eyes.
“That night…”
The car is silent as everyone turns to her, ready to hear the events of that horrible night from the victim
herself…
