“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.‘

“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.

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 fuck 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 fucking 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.
