ANNE“ It’s the same again. ” Ryker sighs, his fingers pushing his messy hair back from his forehead.Just as he got there, he picked up Natalie and carried her back to the Night Walkers Pack. We all followed, worried for her baby and her health. She fainted somewhere along the way and the whole situation was alarming for everyone.Luciana said things were bad for some time. Her baby was chewing at her insides. I didn’t understand how she even called this fine after a while. She said it has stopped but Ryker says that this will happen again. Just as their baby gets hungry again, he will start chewing at her insides. That thought is scary. I know what needs to be done to stop it and this makes it even more dreadful for me.“ Gualterio doesn’t seem to want good relationships with us anymore. ” Ryker hisses all of a sudden.My attention is drawn to his rapidly color-changing eyes. Bile rises to my mouth but I push it down my throat, maintaining my calm and refusing to let panic consume

ANNE I officially hate being carried around. Just like the last time, it takes me at least ten good minutes to grasp the reigns of my sanity. The lack of time makes me follow Zero inside the mansion even if all I want to do is to stop, breathe, and lie down. As I expected, the father and son duo are waiting for us in the same sitting area where Liam broke my spine. A smirk tugs the corners of Gualterio’s lips when he sees me trotting behind Zero. “ You came sooner than I expected. ” Liam chimes. “ Didn’t Anne stop you? ” The taunt does nothing to a calmly strolling Zero. His eyes remain fixed on his father who is relishing in the feeling of victory right now. My self-respect is battered and my pride wounded but to save Natalie and to remain by Zero’s side, I have to drink this poison and forget about all ideal terms not meant for someone like me. “ I am here. ” He stops and my nose bumps into his strong back. Wincing, I step back and rub the tip of my nose. If the situation

ZEROI feel Anne’s warm body pressing into mine from behind and it’s like the dangerous daze breaks. I felt her pain tugging at my heart from afar and I almost drowned in misery and regret. When I saw my father choking her, the desire to snap his neck raised its head. Dread and anger became one. I was seeing red and I had lost control over myself.I can’t bear the thought of Anne getting hurt. If I hadn’t left her here, she wouldn’t have to go through something like this.“ D—Don’t do it. Please. Please, Zero. ” She pleads in her shaky voice. “ Leave him. ”As if I was only waiting for her to say this to me, I release Gualterio. He falls to the ground, the shadows leaving his body and dispersing into thin air.I blink to get rid of the black haziness as my hands instinctively wrap around Anne’s wrists. I almost killed my father because he hurt her. I don’t understand how I can lose control over the mere thought of seeing her in pain but I do. Always.Anne breathes against my back, h

ANNEI huff as I lie down on the bed. Zero was gone when I came out of the bathroom after an hour of sulking under the shower. Zero is not making me feel bad about ditching him as I did and I have apologized and explained my side so I feel a little clear-headed now.The fact that he stopped when I asked and didn’t lash out at me is so satisfying. It must have felt like a slap to Gualterio’s face who thought I meant little to his son.Now that Vampire King asshole and his younger son know that Zero is into me and I am into him. They will have to stop trying to get between our bond.The other good thing is that Natalie is fine. Ryker texted me earlier so I am at ease about that.Turning and tossing in bed, I get tired of waiting for Zero. I fear he is down there somewhere, losing his control over the bloodthirst and killing humans mercilessly. I can’t feel his emotions so it only makes me feel like I am on the edge, about to fall off the cliff to my death.Pushing myself off the bed, I

ANNEThe more Zero realized I needed him to confess his love to me, the more he started taking amusement out of my misery. I kept repeating I love you and he kept saying he knew with a stupid heart-stealing smile on his lips.I didn’t know a few words could make me so desperate and I didn’t know time could pass so fast. I am used to taking bath with Zero now like he said I will. He is always here. We sleep in the same bed, I wake up by his side every day, we smile, we laugh, and we walk together. Even Zero’s family has become bearable for me because Gualterio and Liam refrain from getting in my way after what Zero did to them three weeks ago.Natalie is about to give birth. And as usual, the Vampire King is eager to get Zero on the throne before that.I did discuss with Zero about the future. I told him what Liam had said to me about the whole age difference thing and then I found that little evil shit with a broken spine again. After that, Zero assured me that he had been reconnectin

ANNEZero shrugs his hand off his shoulder and turns around, climbing the stairs and reaching the red cushioned and golden-armed chair.Liam comes to stand beside me, his eyes fixed on the big chair. I glance at him, understanding the look in his eyes.It doesn’t take much to realize that he wanted that spot. He is not that evil, just a vampire throwing a fit over what he thought was rightfully his.Zero grumpily stands beside the chair as Vampire King gestures at someone to bring something. I stare at him and he stares back at me even from up there.“ He doesn’t even want to be there. ” Liam huffs childishly.Zero snaps his head in his direction, shooting him a warning glare. I chuckle as Liam sniffs dramatically.“ He doesn’t even want you to talk to me. ” I copy Liam’s tone, huffing.“ I know right? ” Liam sighs. “ He hates me. ”My heart skips a beat as Gualterio grips Zero’s forearm and makes him face him. The father and son face-to-face look like a carbon copy of each other. “

ANNELiam, Gualterio, and Freya did all they could. And saved Zero.It was not a nightmare. It was the worst moment of my life. I almost lost him and lost my mind.Now, he lies on his bed in the room as Freya sits by his side, crying silently. I was wrong about his family—They care about Zero more than they let on. They just don’t how to show it to him when Zero is not ready to listen to them or ever accept their affection.I wipe my wet cheeks and suck in a huge breath while I look at Zero and his parents from the doorway of the room. I still can’t feel Zero’s presence in my head. Neela said Zero blocked our connection completely to protect me. He didn’t want me to feel his pain.Prick! I died with fear when I couldn’t feel him. My heart had almost given up on me at that moment.“ How did you know they were going to attack? ” I hiss at Liam who is standing beside me, his side resting against the door.“ I saw them. ” He shrugs his shoulders. “ Clearly, I was not as distracted as you

ANNE“ Anne. ” Zero whispers my name, making it sound so sweet, so meaningful.When I don’t answer, he pushes me away to look at my face. “ Did someone do something to you? ” Furiously, he hisses at me.“ Yes. ” My eyes snap open, narrowing into slits. “ You are still asking. Don’t you know already? They almost killed me because of you. ” I shrug off his hands and stand up. “ I just realized what this means to stay under the same roof as some deranged vampires like you. ” The wall in my head shuts down, keeping all emotions trapped inside as I spit poison at him.“ What happened? ” Zero is out of bed and over my head in no time.He is seething, so enraged that the veins in his neck are poking out. “ I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to die for you. ” I whisper.“ You don’t want to stay?” Zero frowns.I shake my head, gulping all tears down. He will never know.“ Do you want me to take you away? ” He steps forth only to see me stepping back from him.“ I promised your father th
