| can hear Sia’s heartbeat becstronger and the sparks from Sebastian and my touch intensify.
My breath hitches as the white light begins to fade and | look at Sia, gasping at the smile on her face. Her skin is
no longer sallow, her heart is strong and rhythmic, and she is breathing evenly.
“Sia! My angel!” | whisper, pulling her close.
“Oh, and Mommy is all ok now too,” Zion says as Sebastian high-fives him.
“You are my hero, son.” He says as we all look at Sia.
“Mommy, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” She whispers, making my heart ache.
Not only did she never complain, but she’s so brave. | smile at her, bursting into a soft laugh as | pull her and
Zion close.
“I'm so happy, my angel, I'm so happy...” | whisper as Sebastian caresses the back of her hair.
The roof trembles and reality returns.
“We need to get out there and end this,” | say, feeling stronger and more determined than ever.
Sebastian nods as Aran steps forward.
“I will take care of the children. You do what you must,” He says firmly, looking between Sebastian and me.

“But we have to fix things...” Zion says.
“Not yet... after the fighting...” Sia explains to him, “We have to wait.”
| exchange looks with Sebastian as the two begin conversing with one another in that slanguage that
sounds a lot like French.
“I'll be here,” Aran says as he looks at Sebastian almost hesitantly. “I do, perhaps
owe you an apology.”
Sebastian, who was ready to leave, pauses and looks at his father in surprise.
“You think?” he replies before sighing. “We both said things and did things we are not proud of, but it is in the
past. When this is over... we can settle it over a

chess.
Aran smiles slightly as he nods. “I think that’s fair... take care of yourself and Zaia, son.”
Sebastian freezes before he glances at Aran and nods. “Twill.”
| smile softly as the kids giggle while they watch their father and grandfather, and | shake my head slightly.
These two... they are a force to be reckoned with.
I'm about to push open the door when Sebastian reaches over and pushes it for
1. me.
“I had it,” | say quietly as we step out into the safe house and the door bolts shut behind us.
“I'm sure you did.” He replies arrogantly.
| don’t respond, breaking into a jog and just when I'm about to open the door, he grabsby the elbow and
pullsback.
“Zaia...”
I suck in a breath as he gently yet firmly pushesagainst the wall, stepping closer as he seals the gap
between us. “We need to get out there.” | remind him, attempting to turn sideways only for his chest to block
me.
“We do, but | need you to promisethat you will be careful.” He urges.
My eyes flash and | shove him back. “I know how to take care of my kids and | won't be foolish.” | snarl.
His eyes flicker as he watcheswith concern. “I'm sorry.” He says quietly.
| scoff as | unlock the door and step out. “For what? Sorry the list is so long, I'm struggling to keep up.” | counter,
knowing that I'm being a bitch but | don’t need him coming here and thinking suddenly I'm going to be ok with
him, because that is not going to happen.

we're in, together.”
“I know. And we're wasting tby not being out there.”
He nods as | back away from him. Turning, we both break into a run.
“Where is Dad?” | ask as | scan the grounds. Wolves fight wolves, but I'm no longer able to tell who is who.
“He and Jai are facing Zade!” Justin says, his voice strained.
“And we've just found Gaultier and Gerard,” Atticus says, sounding uneasy.

“That you have... or we've just found you.” Gerard's menacing voice comes through the earpiece.
“And this one is a pretty thing.” Gaultier’s chilling voice whispers, making my
blood run cold.
“Don’t touch her!” Atticus snarls.
Valerie!
My heart thuds as | break into a run, hearing the shouts as they clash before a blood-curdling scream fills the
air...
