Novel & Cerita Zane From Aphmau

The dome dissolves, pressure lifting abruptly. I stagger—and immediately get caught by Ethan. “Still with me?” he asks softly. “Unfortunately,” I say weakly. “I think I promised not to die.” Blake flops onto the grass, staring up at the now-normal sky. “I can’t believe we just got audited by a god and survived.” Gravehowl settles back, presence easing. The Hunt stands. The Sleeper’s awareness lingers a moment longer. You did well, little Crown. Don’t make a habit of waking me.

If he had known that Logan had undergone seven years of poverty training, worked as a waiter in the university's cafeteria and a restaurant, worked as a delivery boy, and sold waffles in Little Xeottect, he would have reconsidered his conclusion. "Zane Murphy is from Vernand Province. He's 32 years old and has a younger sister called Jade. They rented a $1,000 underground room in Fentom's Green Peak Road. Jade usually stays there alone while Zane usually stays in the staff dormitory at Swalesbury University."

I hated being dragged around as if I was some kind of fine porcelain to behold or something! “You’ve already met Noah,” Zane continued and pointed in the general direction of the guy who had been in the hospital room with us when I first woke up. Noah gave me a curt nod but didn’t make a move to approach. Instead, he kept his attention on the tumbler in his hands and looked outside; as if the darkness there could provide him with some unspoken solace...

An uncomfortable silence stretches between us before I step in. “Look, if this is true, then I need to be near Noah. He’s the only one who knows about this, and has been in contact with Stace before. Why don’t you stay here with me, at least until this mark heals,” I offer, reaching for his hand. He pulls it away, looking at me with unfiltered emotions in his eyes, showing me betrayal and hurt. “Forget it,” Cian mutters, backing up a few steps, casting his attention to Noah for a fleeting moment. “Glad you got what you wanted.”

“Amara, look at me. We will survive this. We will fight. She is ruthless, but she is not invincible. And she will make mistakes. That is when we strike.” I wanted to nod. I tried to trust his words. But the video burned into my mind. Every frame, every distorted moment, every calculated smear. I felt my stomach twist. I had never seen Zane like this. Even in the past battles, even in the courtrooms, even when the press tried to tear him down, he had always been untouchable. But this… this was personal. And it was public.

3RD POV Zane didn’t slow down until he was completely out of the hospital building The moment the glass doors closed behind him, he exhalef sharply, running a hand through his hair as he tried to compose himself, everything he had just seen kept replaying in his head, Aurelia looking at him like a complete stranger and asking if Grandfather was her father, accepting whatever version of the truth they feed her without question, her innocent look. It didn’t sit right with him, He knew exactly what his family were capable of when it came to protecting their image, their name, and whatever secrets they had buried under it. Now that Aurelia had no memory, they had the perfect opportunity to resha

Zane uttered smugly as he sat down in the chair opposite her desk, promptly perching his expensive shoes on top. “What the hell do you know about “these things” anyway, Smith?” She retorted as she shoved his feet off the end of her desk. Zane Smith was a fixer, Reaperr’s fixer, and he was as dangerous as a live grenade. In any other situation, London would have tip-toed around him, giving him a wide birth to do his bidding, but, she could feel the noose around her neck, and this time, not in a good way.

Amelia’s POV After hearing those horrid things that Zane said about me, I couldn't say a single more word. I returned back to the cafeteria on our seat as humiliation overwhelmed me. My hands were shaking with rage as they turned cold and I was on the verge of crying, but then I saw from the corner of my eyes that Zane was returning to the table so out of contempt I took out the wolfsbane out of my bag, which I kept just in case someone tried to attack me and added in his cup of coffee.

Zane parroted as his boyish grin returned full force on learning JT was Maggie’s brother. “Uh, sorry! You had me in the air so fast I didn’t get to introduce you,” Dani said, smiling, and giving JT a small punch in the arm. “Zane is a neurologist from my hospital in Dallas. I asked him to come check out Aunt Lu and make sure she was really ready to transition home.”

Zane murmurs and his eyes instantly clear. They are now green and they appear vulnerable. His heart is loud. Zane is anxious. He doesn't trust anyone, me included. It is as if he is waiting for that moment when the world turns against him. In front of everyone, he appears strong but deep within, he is shaken. Uncertain of tomorrow's outcome. He doesn't want to be alone and I am his only and last hope. I cup my mate's face and wish there was a way I could assure him I don't want to lose him either. I gently press my lips on his and move them slowly. He returns it with the same slow movement.
