Chapter 0438 , “And the two upstairs. What’s their case?” Atticus asks, sitting back as he twists a pen in his fingers. , “We discovered Adriana protecting the door to where her injured sister was in a bad state. When we got to her, she was wounded.” , Atticus nods slowly, swallowing, “And she wasn’t raped, was she?” , “No. I’m certain she wasn’t raped,” Zade answers and I look down, my heart squeezing at the fear of what could have happened. “She’s a trained fighter, and she had managed to kill those who had broken in.” , Atticus nods as he sits back, pinching the bridge of his nose as he looks at the screen that is now plastered with the faces of several victims. , you say , it as if it’s a good thing she was one of them,” another Alpha says coldly. “A Sable.” , Zade’s eyes turn even icier. “It is because unlike you and possibly your pack members, she was able to protect herself to an extent.‘ , 33 , “Well, he has a point there,” someone mutters. , They all begin talking, and I can see the fear giving way to irritation and arguments. , “So basically it comes down to the fact Alpha Zaia made a mistake to agree to us all being chipped. Now even leaving our homes makes us a target!” Alpha Kai growls. I’ve never liked, him. , “This is not on Zaia, it was a joint decision!” Sebastian snarls. , “But her son- your son, had the chance to change everything! I am certain we could have avoided all of this!” He’s on his feet, barking now. , Zala looks down and the guilt I see in her eyes that she tries to mask is something she can’t hide from me, , and it makes me so damn mad. , “This is not on her!” I say loudly, but everyone is talking over one another. , “Agreed. It isn’t,” Atticus adds. , “It is! She could have prevented this!” , “You were all singing praises when she won that battle,” Sebastian growls, his aura flaring. , 15 BONUS , Suddenly, a knife goes whizzing past me faster than the eye can see, and I gasp, my heart thumping. It lands beside Alpha Kai’s hand, wedging into the table. Silence falls as all eyes turn on Zade, and Kai’s expression is a mix of livid and terrified. , “This is not on her. Now shut the ** up, sit the hell down and listen,” Zade says icily, taking out a cigarette as he leans back in his seat. “She only made a decision to protect her son from a burden that was not his to carry. At least she didn’t turn out to be like her mother. So let’s stop pointing **ing fingers because I will enjoy cutting them off.” His voice is low and menacing, but it warms me and I can’t help but smile slightly. 1, His defence of Zaia makes me want to jump for joy. I can tell even Zaia feels emotional as she steals a glance at him. 2 , “That decision could have saved us,” Kai murmurs, now speaking carefully as if afraid Zade will actually attack. He probably would. , “Why should a child pay the price for our mistake? Man–the–**–up and let’s stop discussing the ‘what ifs‘ and deal with the problem at hand. The microchips which you all **ing agreed to. We have the Arkan to take out, so work as a **ing team if you know what that means or see yourself the ** out because there’s one more thing that I haven’t mentioned…” Zade scans the room and I know what he’s about to tell them. , The werewolves. , “And what is that?” Sebastian asks. , “There are werewolves working among them.” , Zade’s words ring through the room as everyone goes silent, his words burning in every single person’s mind. , Once again, there are traitors amongst us, working with the enemy for god knows what reason; Protection? Fear? Money? Who knows. But one thing is for certain, with Zade on this mission, we will surely find out. , Zade takes a long drag on his cigarette, blowing out slowly as he looks at everyone in the room. “And… if you all with your positions of power don’t fix this **, then I will release this information on the internet and let havoc take its **ing course whilst I go on a hunt. One that will lust for only two **ing things. Revenge and blood.” 23, Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
