SEBASTIAN.
ONE MONTH LATER…
“What exactly does this mean for the world and for yourself, now that your real identity is no longer
hidden?” The TV host asks Zaia who is sitting on the couch opposite, her legs gracefully crossed,
showing off the smooth creamy skin of her leg.
She looks as breathtaking as ever, her hair is up in a sleek bun, and she is wearing a black fitted dress
that only emphasises her sexy curves.
Black is all she’s worn for the last month as we buried countless people.
Jai…
It still doesn’t feel real, almost as if I’m waiting for him to walk through the door and say, ‘Did you really
think you could get rid of me so easily? I don’t think so.”
Losing him, felt like I had lost a part of me… I regretted a lot, not telling him everything, putting him
through so much…
I focus on the TV again, not wanting to delve in that dark train of thought.
“We were never hidden from the world. Many people who run this country and around the globe know
of our kind and as long as we live by the rules like any other law-abiding citizen, then there is nothing
wrong. My identity is more than the fact that I am a werewolf. I am still the same person,” Zaia replies
politely.
For many, what happened was bizarre and traumatic, to witness the streets being torn apart like that,
fighting and death in an otherwise peaceful town had caused a lot of tension between those same
government officials and the leading alphas of surrounding packs who were meant to make sure
everything ran smoothly.
Not to mention that there had been a few human casualties, too. But now that the world has become
aware of us, it is our duty to make sure that things run smoothly from here on. Especially since we all
know what fear and the unknown. can drive a person to do.
“Do you feel that there is a risk that what happened might occur again? Many people lost their homes
and lives. Can we really believe that werewolves are safe to have around us?”
I frown at the host’s question, but the red-head queen smiles gracefully and tilts her head, looking at
the other woman, calm and collected as always.

“I don’t think there is a risk of it happening again, however, you ask if it’s safe for us to live amongst
you, why not? I mean, there are killers, rapists, and terrorists who are human, but they do not define
the majority of humans. Why are we any different?” Zaia counters.
The woman nods. “Fair point. However, the intense level of the battle that took place was not
something small. The president said he will be rethinking the laws. and perhaps werewolves will have
to have a special identity tag.”
“Well, that is up for discussion. I am meeting with him next week…” Zaia continues.
I look down at the newspapers in front of me, frowning deeply at the headlines that are splashed across
every page.
BEASTS LIVING AMONG US! ARE WE SAFE
GENETIC MUTATION? WILL WE SURVIVE?
KEITH HARRISON SPEAKS OUT I WAS ATTACKED BY ONE OF THOSE
MONSTERS
BILLIONAIRE BUSINESSWOMAN DAHLIA EL NAZARI FACES BACKLASH AS SHE CONDEMS
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WEREWOLVES. 1
I pick up the paper, skimming over the image that shows the powerful businesswoman trying to avoid
the paparazzi. Sighing heavily, I toss the paper on the table. We may have ended the war amongst us,
but the world is in an
uproar.
Even Harrison was ready to drop out, but unlike his son, he had decided to go through with it, saying
what Zaia did was for the good of all and he was willing to give her a chance – but he was lowering the
promised amount. Although this angered me, Zaia had accepted it, saying we weren’t in the position to
argue right
now.
Zaia has been busy speaking out at press conferences, meeting with government officials and trying to
come to an agreement where we don’t end up being treated like fucking criminals.
Whilst she tries to sort things with the humans, I’m dealing with more
supernatural matters. The rogues needed assessing and assigning into packs. The pack in France was
without an heir.
There were things that needed discussing. Zaia was currently the Alpha of three packs, but something
she said last night keeps getting to me.
+16 BONUS
‘I will hand this pack back to you before I leave.’
Leave… she’s leaving…
But what more could I expect?
I run my fingers through my hair, my heart clenching.
Why is life so painful? Even though the threats are gone, there’s still so much left that needs tending to.
The Goddess’s words from that night echo in my mind, and I know I’ll hold them in my memories until
the end.
‘Sebastian… you have done well, despite the path I forced you upon. Fight for her, wait for her and let
her heal… A mate bond is sacred, and one that is between two strong wolves, it cannot waver… Heal
child, you will see better times.’
I want Zaia, with everything I have, I want her in my life, in my arms until the end of fucking time but I
also know I hurt her far too many times to ever think that it is possible, but then why do I keep hoping
and why am I unable to control myself in her presence?
