Chapter 0299
As much as those words sting, he’s doing it on purpose, playing mind games to guilt trip me.
He feels nothing... but he’s trying to manipulate me.
Once again, it shows that he is far too gone to save.
‘Shthat isn’t the way we were born to be. We grew up living two very different lifestyles... and if the
goddess ever gives you a chance again... | hope you live a life worth dying for.” | whisper as the sharp wind whips
around us as our auras clash like two storms, each one wanting to reign supreme.
‘Look around, it’s too late... we are almost at the finish line...” he says, gazing up at the sky that is filled with
smoke.
“Then I'll be the one to kill you so I can surpass you to that finish line,’ | counter menacingly as | shift back to
human form, and not waiting for his reply, | tear through his heart watching as the light fades from his eyes.
A shadow of sadness washes over me. | did not know him, nor his past... he hatedto the core, but we were
blood...
| look down at his lifeless body before | stand up and slowly back away. His life was before him, but he let it all
go... or more like it was stolen from him by the way he was raised.

Turning away from his body feels like a weight, but sometimes there are things that we have no control or power
over and not every death feels satisfying.
Shifting into my wolf, | race towards Zaia, following her scent through the rubble, bodies, and fire. It's hard to
follow, but I can still smell her.
My mate...
| push the pain of her shuttingout to the back of my mind. It was something | was expecting, anyway.
Things around us have beca mess and | wonder how many have lost their lives in this foolish battle that
needs to be put to an end.
Fast.
That's when | hear Zaia’s scream, and see Zade’s aura blazing high in the sky as he raises his hand, knife in
hand with his aura wrapped around it, with one aim clear in his mind.

To kill the man on the ground before him.
Hugh...
Tseems to slow as Zaia’s scream pierces the air. Breaking the barrier. Terror clear in her voice.
She won't make it.
1 leap forward, but I'm too far...
Tseems to be still as | see a wolf leap forward, shielding the man on the floor.
‘NO!!!" I shout, my heart in my mouth as | watch the knife plunge into his chest.
No... please no....
Jai...
Zaia reaches them, pushing Zade back, her aura like the flames of a phoenix.
“I love you, V..."” Jai’s broken voice comes as | reach them, just as Hugh catches his body as he’s forced back into
human form.
“No! No son... You shouldn't have...” Hugh's voice is shaking as he holds his hand fruitlessly over Jai’s heart,
blood pouring through his fingers.

“It’s alright... Zaia needs you.” Jai groans.
My heart is pounding as | turn to Zaia, who is tearing into Zade with no mercy.
Her screams of rage ringing around us, the flames of destruction surrounding us, blocking out the moon...
‘Dad! Bring Zion here now! Jai... Jai, he’s..." | trail off, refusing to believe it as Jai places his hand on my chest and
shakes his head slowly.
‘On my way!‘ Dad's reply comes.
I look into Jai’s eyes, and he givesone of those smiles that he used to always annoywith. One | wish |
could see every fucking day if it meant he'd live.
“Take care of her for me.”
“No! Fuck, Jai no...”
“It’s fine man... Just know | never lost faith in you...” he whispers as his hand drops and his head falls back.
“Ja...” My voice breaks as | realise he’s gone... He's fucking gone....
