~ZAYDEN"You're here. Standing before me with your guards. Your intention was to have me arrested because you thought I was the one threatening your kids. But you see, I am not. Whoever it is that you're looking for is smart. They gave you a clear target. I mean, it made sense for me to be the suspect. I have always been a danger to you, right? But think about it, Zayden. You're here. You're standing before me. Dahlia is left with the kids. Do you think she will be able to protect them, if something were to happen to them right now?"Edda's words were like bullets. They landed against my skin and tore holes in my soul. Her words reverberated in my head, and my mind replayed them over and over until it was all I could hear. She was right. By the moon, Edda was right.Coming here to find her was a wild goose chase, it had been a distraction. I should be with Dahlia and the kids right now. I shouldn't be here. This was

~DAHLIAI gaped at the man that was my best friend, unable to believe my eyes. This could not be real, right? Derek could not be the one standing before me, right?Right?My best friend chuckled at the look on my face. He looked healthy enough, but there was still some sort of… weird gleam in his eyes. “Hello, love,” he smiled, and it was his genuine smile. It was the same smile he always flashed at me ever since I knew him, and my heart broke at the sight of the smile on his face.This was a horror movie. The smile was a trap and this was a nightmare. It could not be real.All the fight went out of me as I stared at the face of the one person I thought I could trust with my life. “What…what are you doing? What is the meaning of this? Why…why am I… what is going on, Derek?” I asked, my voice shaking as I managed to push the words past the lump in my throat. Derek moved closer, his hand reaching out to gently

~ EDDAZayden was a fool. As he drove away from my apartment, I watched him with a mixture of hurt and elation. I was happy that I got to see him, that he personally made his way all the way to my apartment on his own accord. Seeing him made me realise that I missed him so much. But I was also hurt that the only reason he came was because of the dolls. I mean, I actually had not expected him to figure out that I was the one who sent them. A resigned sigh slipped past my lips at the thought. It was a good thing that he came here, I suppose. I mean, if I had not been smart and fast enough, he would have had me cornered and I would have had no choice than to tell him that I was indeed, the sender. I shook my head as I locked my door and walked back into my bedroom. Now that I had succeeded in making him paranoid, he would be suspicious of everyone now. And that was a good thing for me, because by the time I eventually decide to get rid

~ZAYDENI had never given death a thought. I mean, everyone knew death was a given, but I had never actually though of dying. Not once. Not ever. But as Derek pressed the trigger, my heart lurched into a stop. The world stopped spinning, and for a brief moment, I felt as though I was suspended in time. Ava. Axel. Dahlia. Their names flashed across my mind, and I felt so proud of myself that even at gunpoint, they were the ones I thought about. No one else but them. My family. The people I owed everything to. During that brief moment, I wondered how our life might have turned out if there was no bad guys, like the one standing before me, in our lives. Then Derek's finger pressed down on the trigger, and the moment passed. I couldn't move as the bullet left the gun, and for a second, it looked as though the bullet wasn't going to hit me. But then it went through my arm, and the

~DAHLIAThree weeks, twenty one days, five hundred and four hours, thirty thousand, two hundred and forty minutes.That was how much Zayden had been unconscious for, and he wasn't awake yet. I spent all my days in the hospital, never moving from his side except to take my bath, or to eat. My kids stayed with my adoptive grandfather, and Leo brought them over every once in a few days. They were okay. But I was not. My heart was heavy. I took Zayden's hand in mine, and I hated how unmoving, how totally still he was. Tears filled my eyes, but I blinked them away."Hi, Zayden. I hope you can hear me. I miss you so much. I am sorry for whatever I might have done to you, but I just...I was trying to tell you not to come. That I would find a way to get out of Derek's madness. But the link wasn't working. I tried so hard to activate the mate bond, but nothing worked. And then you came, and I...I am so sorry. This i
