Chapter 0221
VALERIE
“Why didn’t you go with them?” I ask Sebastian. He has been sitting on the sofa, on edge the entire time, a deep frown on his face and his aura is overwhelming.
Even the children kept their distance from him and so I had taken them upstairs quickly.
Although I myself have been channelling my aura and trying to draw on it, it is still not as strong as his, although I am part of the triquetra.
However, I have been working on drawing upon it, trying to become one with my inner strength, but Sebastian… He sits there with this effortlessly deadly aura that sends a chill down my spine.
How in touch with his wolf is he?
He’s angry.
Although he says nothing, I can sense it, clinging to him like the shadows cling to the dark corners of a room.
He doesn’t respond to my question, and I walk over to him.
I have just put the children to bed, but I am concerned. Why do I feel there’s more to his mood than the others going and why didn’t he go with them?
“The Alpha Sebastian I know wouldn’t let Zaia out there alone,” I say quietly, taking a seat on the sofa opposite him and crossing my legs.
His piercing eyes turn to me. “You have been out of it for several years. You don’t know me, nor do you know Zaia.”
His words sting but I’m not a fool. “Oh, I beg to differ. I know my girl. She is brave, loving, and strong. I know she can handle this, but I also don’t see you letting her go alone.”
“I didn’t let her go alone. She has company.”
“It’s not the same as you going with her, and you know that,” I say, watching him sharply. “We all know how dangerous this meeting is.”
Our eyes meet and I feel uneasy. “You are a smart woman, Valerie. Why are you trying to push me for an answer you already know?” he replies coldly, and his words are like a weight suddenly dropped upon me, making me feel dread.

No… I refuse to believe anything else…
1 stare at him, now realising he’s in turmoil…
“You’re-”
“You’ve been working on a cure for Sia? Tell me how far have you gotten?‘ he
cuts in.
I look down, hating that I haven’t gotten anywhere. Everything I’ve sampled on her blood has only attacked her other cells. I’ve reached out for help, but so far there is nothing.
“My point exactly, and we both know that her health will only get worse. I don’t care if I’m selfish or not. Nothing matters more to me than my children and my woman.” He replies, his voice so calm, yet equally terrifying.
“If you do this… it will break Zaia, your woman.” I remind him, my heart
thudding. “You don’t want to hurt her, do you?”
“No. But like you said, Zaia is brave and strong… right now, my priority is Sia. Even Zaia needs Sia to be healthy.”
“At what cost will you do this?” I whisper.
I do understand… but will Zaia be able to handle it or will it break her?
She had just opened her heart to him again. I may not have been around, but I know she must have suffered. If he breaks her trust again…
“I know, we all want Sia to be better… but perhaps tell Zaia you have a plan to-” “There is no plan, no façade, I will get that antidote for Sia. Because as long as she has her children… Zaia will be fine.‘
