Chapter: Chapter 11Zara's POV. My eyes blinked open slightly, trying to grasp consciousness.This must have happened for a few minutes until I heard chuckling coming from the side and my eyes finally popped open. "Hey, I'm sorry for laughing. You just looked pretty cute and I couldn't resist." Noah spoke, covering his lips slightly. Jumping on his feet immediately I coughed, he was at my side instantly. "I'm sorry, I should inform the healer. How are you doing?" His avalanche of questions had my head spinning, and I frowned in response. "Why didn't you tell me that she had awoken?" Ethan came barging into the room, overwhelming me with his scent. "I was going to inform you. Plus you were already in the building, need I still call you for something that probably doesn't make any sense?" Noah responded stiffly. I kept watching both of them, wondering why they were suddenly at loggerheads. "My throat..." I croaked out. "Get her a bottle with water. I think you should also call the healer. Where the

Chapter: Chapter 10Noah's POV. I watched Zara’s white skin lay on the white bedsheets, with a lost radiance as the healer rubbed some salve along her skin. “What is the current situation?” Liam asked in a morose tone, the entire room haunted by guilt and the feeling of failure. The healer turned to us, her eyes shining with sadness, setting the mood for an unnerving one. “She will be fine.”I could hear a ‘but’ in her tone no matter how much she tried to hide it. “But?”“I think something different happened. She panicked and hit the ground but it set the stage for something deeper.” She said “By your confusion I'm guessing you have no explanation whatsoever for that.” Liam interjected, his eyes focusing on the woman until she squirmed. “I'm sorry Alpha.” “It's not your fault.” I responded, cutting her off. I didn't want to repeat the same mistake I made with Zara. I had treated her badly in the past. “Do not inform my mother of this. If she does, I wouldn't hesitate to cut your tongue.” Ethan jo

Chapter: Chapter 9Zara's POV.My heart was pounding so hard that I almost felt it leaping out of my chest. My hands were tight but I had only one will.I needed to live, even if that was the last thing that I did. There was basically no option for me and I wasn't going to take chances. "If she gets away, we are doomed!" Somebody yelled from behind me. I was a little bit irritated by the way they were acting but I couldn't blame them either. It wasn't entirely their fault the way things were going, they had just been conditioned to think that Selene wielded the entire power. I also thought the same way, a long time ago until I figured out that it was a complete lie. I ran through the bend, rushing through the arena that I knew like the back of my hand. Selene had always sent us into the wild to get her whatever she wanted without thinking of how this was going to impact us. I felt the weight of their footsteps pounding after me, threatening to harm me by the time they got their hands on me. Selene

Chapter: Chapter 8Zara's POV. Picking up my bags and taking a walk to the border was not as interesting as I thought it would be. One of the reasons I was a little bit worried for myself was because there was nothing to do. Mia and Ava were pretty worried sick for me, but I kept on telling them that it was nothing, but they didn't want to believe it. "Why do you just want to leave? You can always tell Noah, he will fight for you no matter what. You cannot allow yourself to be pushed into doing something that you shouldn't be." Ava said, her eyes flickering with concern as she looked at her friend. "I don't think that that's going to be a problem. I don't want to cause any issues. If staying away is going to allow me to figure out a few things on how to ensure my parents get justice, I might as well take it." "I think you've been getting everything wrong from the beginning, and that's a problem, but even at that, you still have to be careful. I don't want you to get into trouble." Ava said placing

Chapter: Chapter 7Zara's POV."So, what happened between both of you?!" Ava asked excitedly, jumping on my bed as soon as Noah left. I was annoyed at their interruption in something that I considered very important to me. How did they simply go from wanting to get revenge to liking the man in question?"I don't understand why you're jumping because of someone that you apparently don't know?" Mia waved her hands dismissively before looking at me in horror. "Wait, do we hate him?" "I'm not going to make you hate someone." I evaded the trap question. Ava snapped her hands in my face, "Exactly what I expected you to say. So, we don't hate him, we only hate what he represented the last few years. Got it." She gave a mockery salute that made me a little bit angry at them. They, of all people, knew the drill, and there was no need to bother myself with this one bit. "If you have a lot to deal with, you have to ensure what's done." "I understand you better than you thought I think that you're a little hu

Chapter: Chapter 6One Step At A Time. “We’lll be outside.” Mia and Ava said in a rush before leaving. Noah and I faced each other, with eyes gleaming with various inflections. I didn't want to believe that he of all people was willing to talk to me so calmly. I knew that he probably wanted to make things right which was a great idea and I respected him for it but at the same time, my heart kept on tilting towards disbelief. “You don't need to be afraid of me.” Fright was an understatement for exactly how I felt. I squared my shoulders, in a bid to be in control of my situation. “You don't need to also act strong. I know how hurt you have felt in the last few years when you thought you were abandoned. It is something to ponder on but I'm glad that you are not one of those girls who go about acting like the entire world is about to crash on them.” A little compliment which he wouldn't have given to me on a normal day. I sighed, “You know what? Why exactly did you come here again?” I asked, feeling
