Chapter 0300
VALERIE.
“We need to go to Jai!” I cry hearing the feedback coming through the headpiece as I cough, my lungs filled with smoke. I’m scared Jai is going up against Zade single–handedly when Alpha Hugh is struggling!
He’s too powerful, they’re saying after Sebastian and Zaia he’s the next most. powerful.
My entire body is hurting from the blast that just took place.
Zaia and Sebastian have gone after Gerard and Gaultier, but we can’t just stay here, we need to get to Jai and Hugh!
I’m scared, scared for Jai’s safety and fear losing him… Goddess, protect him!
“Let’s go,” Atticus says as he pulls me up from the rubble and we break into a
run.
“Stop right there…” someone says, and the sound of a gun being cocked makes me freeze.
I stop in my tracks, coming face to face with none other than Daniel, Sebastian’s ex–assistant, only he is dressed in black, with a protective vest on. But it’s not the suits our men are wearing….
Unease fills me as Atticus pulls me behind himself.
“Can I help you?” he asks.
Daniel sighs. “No, but I’m afraid you two can’t go any further,” he says, signalling with two fingers.
Atticus growls as he jumps back, his aura surging around him as the ground caves underneath us, an explosion going off.
We back up as Daniel stands there calmly.
“Stay back, please. I don’t wish to harm anyone.” Daniel says quietly.
“What is the meaning of this!” Atticus snarls.
“I’m doing what is right, what the goddess has always wanted. I’ve worked hard to serve my masters.” His voice is barely more than a whisper on the wind, but it makes my blood run cold, his words ringing in my head.
Worked hard… he was Sebastian’s shadow for years, always taking care of

everything Sebastian needed… like Agatha, he was one of Sebastian’s trusted… and one who was always close…
But how?
How did this even slip by us?
For a few seconds, my mind replays a hundred memories on fast in seconds and with damning clarity, I realise he was always there… from the beginning… in the shadows of Sebastian… right beside our Alpha for years…
The boy in the woods….
My heart is thumping as I connect the dots.
It all makes sense.
(FLASHBACK – MANY YEARS AGO)
“Sorry, Alpha, can I speak to you alone?” I ask looking at our new Alpha. Alpha Sebastian King is terrifying and the power that he radiates from him fills the
room.
“Daniel is my assistant. Whatever you have to say, say it, he can be trusted,” Sebastian says, taking a seat behind his desk.
Nervously, I glance at the man behind him. Daniel gives me a small smile and I recognise him. He is Sebastian’s shadow, and he always has been for a long time. I remember now.
“If you’re done staring, tell me what you need, Doctor Scott. I don’t have all day,” Sebastian says, flipping open a file, clearly a sign that he has a lot to do.
“Ah, of course, well it was regarding an extension of the hospital…” I begin, quickly returning to what I came here for…
I step out of Alpha Sebastian’s office, only for Jai to pull me around the corner and pin me up against the wall.
“There you are, and I was wondering where you went…” he murmurs, leaning closer to me before kissing me passionately. I melt into his touch, kissing him. back for a few sizzling seconds, but remembering where we are, I gently push him back.
“Jai, not here!” I hiss.
“Mmm, but you taste so good…” He g
taste so good…” He groans and I feel him throb against me.
