Chapter 219

ZAIA.
I watch as Olivan rushes towards the window. The taste of betrayal stings strongly.
Jai growls as Atticus launches himself at Olivan who kicks him off, knocking the wind from him, and
making Atticus inhale the gas.
“Atticus!” I shout as Olivan pulls out a gun, but it’s knocked from his hold when Jai throws himself at
him.
“Bastard!” Olivan snarls, throwing Jai off him with such power that Jai is thrown back. He hits the corner
of the table before crumbling to the ground.
I snarl as I run over to him. We’ve all inhaled enough of the poison, we need to get out of here.
Disappointed, pained, and absolutely stupid.
That’s how I feel.
Anger rises through me, and I stand up, grabbing the chair and flinging it at Olivan, who dives to the
side.
He’s on his feet again and he pulls the trigger on Atticus, who dodges, kicking his legs out from under
him.
From the way Atticus moves, I can see why Sebastian always saw him as his rival in a way. Atticus is
fast and from the sound of something breaking, powerful as
well.
I help Jai up when suddenly, a gunshot goes off and Jai throws me aside.
My eyes widen in horror as the bullet hits Jai’s shoulder.
“No…” I choke out, my eyes stinging. I’ve inhaled too much…
You are not getting away.
I turn my blazing gaze on Olivan, who rushes to the window, smashing through it as he shifts mid–air.
He isn’t getting away with this!
I leap over the broken chair piece and over the table, shifting into my magnificent- wolf once more.

Just like last time, it’s effortless and smooth and with my new speed and size, manage to claw into his
back just as he shifts and launches himself through the
window.
I’m about to follow but the moment I reach the window, something blocks it and I hit a wall, and am
thrown back, accidentally inhaling the acidic gas that makes my stomach burn agonisingly.
I glance at the window, realising the wolves outside have blocked it.
I run at the window once again. That wall will not hold me in!
Jai is coughing and so is Atticus as they both try to break through the door, which is also blocked.
“Zaia! They will be waiting outside!” Atticus warns, his anger clear in his voice.” Fuck it!”
I don’t listen, unable to focus on anything but finding Olivan.
Inside my own head, it feels like I’m thrown to the back of my mind, my own emotions a thousand times
heightened and all I want to do is tear into Olivan. To rip him apart and to make him pay for what he
has done.
I launch myself at the window once again, my eyes blazing but the window is reinforced. I can hear the
beat of many hearts on the other side.
He had it planned out…
I simply gave him a few nights to plan this.
I snarl as I slam into the metal barrier they’re holding against the entrance. The gas in the room is rising
and I can no longer see the others.
I think one of them says they need to find the source through fits of coughs.
I’m running out of time….
We are all getting weaker..
“We need to get out of here! I think the walls are thinner here!” Jai’s voice says as he hacks into the
door that we had entered from. I hear him groan, and it only makes me angrier.
The gas has stopped filling the room, but it’s getting to us all.
I’m not going to let him get away…
How dare he.

Olivan…
This was their plan. Get us here and try to kill us….
I see red as I turn to the walls of the cabin. Backing up to the other side, I break into a run, summoning
forth every ounce of my power.
“Zaia! No! Sebastian will kill us!” Jai shouts, but I’m too focused on my goal and I slam into the wall with
immense force, hearing the cracking of the thick wood.
Again!
–
I back up and run at the wall faster, throwing my side into the wall and this time it splinters completely
and I burst into the open night sky.
I take a gulp of clean air.
I see the group of wolves who are reinforcing the window a few feet away and I snarl at them before I
turn and scan the dark. I have no time for them.
Olivan is my target.
I scan the grounds, searching for him, but I glance back at the exit I had created and see Atticus and
Jai both step out.
