No!
I begin struggling as he lifts it, and manage to throw him back. My eyes blaze and suddenly everything
in the room is enhanced.
My wolf’s eyes! I’m using them!
It’s rare for a werewolf to be able to do this, but I guess my emotions are helping me.
I manage to throw him off, but not for long as he grabs my arm, yanking me to the ground. I grab the
bed sheets trying to pull myself up but it’s futile and I only manage to drag the bedding right off. I hit
him in the face.
“Bit ch!” he snarls, raising his hammer and then intense pain ricochets through my head.
I let out a choked gasp and I grab my head, crying out.
There’s a faint silver glow spreading around me, but the pain is too much.
“I’ll destroy it,” He hisses, as he keeps striking my head, bludgeoning it with the hammer.
My ears are ringing and then… I can’t hear anything but my own. laboured breathing.
I’m going to die…
Each blow is dragging me into the darkness and that silver light… is beginning to fade.
This is it… I can feel it…

My heart hurts, my head is being split open and the pain- it’s… too much…
There’s a pause, and then the most excruciating pain I’ve felt rips through-
(PRESENT)
“Valerie!” I gasp as I look around the car, my heart hammering.
I’m safe. I’m safe.
I clutch my head as I rock myself, trying to compose my emotions. Goddess…
I can feel the ghostly pain in my head lingering. My head still has the
scar…
“I’m fine,” I reply quietly.
“And no one would have thought much of the symbol at the hospital,” Sebastian says quietly.
“Possibly, and the amount of stitches and damage her head had, there’s a possibility it was just hidden
and once her hair began. growing, we wouldn’t have noticed it,” Jai says, frowning thoughtfully.
I had just relayed the entire ordeal to them in French, but it was too much, and I am left shaken.
Zaia wraps her arms around me. “It’s ok, no one will hurt you,” she whispers comfortingly in French. 2
“Could that have been when we knocked?” Jai asks, looking at
Sebastian.
They were the ones who apparently found me… but at the same time, it’s obvious they could cook up a
story to feed everyone… They were together, they are best friends…

It was Sebastian!
“What did you see when you came? I ask, wondering what they’ll say.
“Someone peeped through the eyehole, but no one answered the door so Seb broke the door down,”
Jai replies.
“Once we brought the door down and found you in your bedroom, I think we might have come just in
time,” Sebastian says.
Zion’s watching us curiously. For a three-year-old, my gorgeous nephew is very smart.
“Well, he had your eyes…” I say quietly.
“It wasn’t Seb, Val, trust me.” Jai’s eyes are soft and full of concern. as he watches me. “He told me to
get you to the hospital fast and called ahead to have everything ready.”
“It doesn’t matter, she’ll learn the truth, there’s no need to force her to believe us,” Sebastian says
quietly. “I initially thought he had jumped. but he had locked himself in your bathroom, I chased him
from there, but he got away.”
“Fast as an Alpha,” Zaia says, frowning.
Does she trust Sebastian?
I look at her, but I don’t know… I think she does.
“Well, then… either you have a doppelgänger or a twin,” I say quietly.
“You aren’t the first to say that,” Sebastian says quietly,
I look up with intrigue, and Zaia sighs.
“Not long ago, a shooter on a bike attacked me, killing countless people and several of my guards. I
managed to get his visor up and although I said to the police, I didn’t see him… his eyes were just like
Ba stian’s,” Zaia says.

I stare at her in shock, and she nods.
“And you trust him?” I ask quietly.
“Yes.” She says with a gentle smile.
“So we need to find out who has eyes like Sebastian’s,” Jai says. He looks at me with concern in his
gorgeous eyes and I look away.
I don’t know how to react to him…
Zaia told me how he’s been taking care of me, how my own grandma and Dad had given up, but he
refused to… he’s been the one who has taken care of me. I’m not sure if I’m more embarrassed or
more. confused.
· There were moments when I was conscious, and I can’t deny it was his voice that I heard the most…
but I also didn’t know what to say… I owe him more than a thank you… but….
