ZAIA.
“My patience is gone, and I don’t want to resort to any harsh methods, but I will if I have to,” I warn
dangerously, my eyes flashing as I look over at Annalise. “Who was the person you talked to back in
Atticus’s pack on New Year’s Eve?”
It’s the following day and although I did not get any sleep, it didn’t stop me from doing what’s needed. I
hate that I had to make Jai work so soon, but I had sent him to Dad’s pack to question the guards and
staff around Mom’s home.
A postmortem would be carried out to see what injuries she had been dealt and hope we get an idea of
when they snuck into Mom’s home.
Our home…
By her final words, it was clear they wanted to know about the Moon Dust. That would be my second
goal of the day after this visit to Annalise.
“I don’t remember!” She says in an extremely
Strassed–out voice.
“You do!” I growl, slamming my fist onto the table.
She flinches, her heart thumping as she stares at me fearfully.
I know my eyes are as orange as my hair and I know I’m being harsher than normal, but I have no
option. Kindness did not get me far.
“I… I don’t… it… Gaspard! It was Gaspard!”
She’s still lying….
I can tell from the way her eyes are darting around the room that she just said his
name on impulse.
I sit back. “I know you can’t mention the name of the person behind it all as it can
affect you and the baby… So how about this? I will ask a few questions, Annalise. A
yes and no can work… I’m sure that can get us past the magic.” I say thoughtfully.
hoping it did.
“The man you spoke to is the same man you could not mention when you said you.
were told to pretend you were kidnapped, correct?”
She purses her lips before she looks down, then back at me.
That’s a yes…
“Do I know this person? I ask.
Her lips tremble, and her heartbeat races, but she doesn’t reply.
“Ok, you can’t say…
She stares stubbornly to the side, stroking her stomach, and I stand up. “The moment the baby is born,
it will be taken from you and you will serve a proper sentence,” I say coldly as I stand up.
She simply stares off to the side, and I turn about to leave the room when I look back
at her.
“I met Zade, my brother… he killed my mother. As for our father… he’s missing.”
I’m terrified… terrified that what if Zade has forced him to give him the Alpha title. Maybe something
has happened to Dad, and I won’t know because he’s done the
same ritual with Zade and that would override the first one-
Stop Zaia.
My heart is thumping and even she’s tensed at my words, and I know although she is not his biological
daughter, she is still his daughter.
“Wait, what happened to Dad? Is Mom ok?!” she asks, panicking.
“She is for now, but the way things are going, everyone is in danger.” I remind her. We need the
answers, and you need to reevaluate whose side you are on because
they will kill anyone who is of no use to them or those who defy them.”
“They won’t kill me! I’m carrying a baby! Gaspard won’t let them!”
“And what power does Gaspard hold?”
Her heart skips a beat, and I look at her suspiciously.

“Gaspard…” He is from Dad’s pack, and Mom mentioned a boy…
Could it be?
The puzzle contains a thousand pieces and I keep finding more that do not fit.
“What power does Gaspard hold, Annalise?” I ask, now turning to face her fully.
She remains silent, and my eyes flash. “Answer me if you are not bound by magic!” I
say, my alpha command rippling through me.
“He is important to them!” she shouts, her eyes flashing and her heart thumps as she
realises she’s answered me.
So that at least rules out the fact Gaspard was definitely not the one in Atticus’s pack.
“Important… everyone has a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, everyone. becomes collateral.
Just like the Rogue Alpha was.”
“What do you mean?” she asks.
“I killed Olivan, and none of his so–called allies came to protect him, and when I find Gaspard… he too
will suffer the same fate as Olivan, I am done playing nice.”
“You’ve changed… What happened to you?” she asks, curiosity and fear in her eyes. I raise an
eyebrow. “I lost my patience. I trusted far too many… now it’s time for the Alpha within me to end this. I
will give you one final warning, Annalise… choose your side carefully because the Sublime will win
this.”
With those words I shut the door, not waiting for a reply as I make my way out of her new room in the
prison facility. She’ll be given everything she needs here, but I can’t risk not having her in prison.
