“Well… dear sister, I’ll leave you for now… until we meet again,”
she says in a sing-song voice, coming closer to me. She leans over, adjusting her mask and hair before she turns and pauses.
She looks over her shoulder at me before she moves closer. I’m about to push her away when shewraps one arm around me in a sudden one-armed hug, one that is painfully tight.
“Make sure Sebastian does not learn that that child is his…. We wouldn’t want anything to happen to it, right?”
she threatens in such a faint whisper I almost don’t hear it.
My face pales as she moves back and caresses my belly, this time I shove her away, roughly clutching my stomach.
“Don’t touch me!”
I hiss, how dare she… she threatened my baby!
She lets out a tinkling laugh as she pushes past Valerie and leaves the bathroom.
I gasp as I grip the counter as Valerie moves closer. “Zaia… are you alright? What did the evil witch say?”
I shake my head. “It doesn’t matter.”
Valerie has to return to that pack. I can’t make things harder for her. “Just stay alert and be wary of her Valerie, I don’t want you getting hurt because of me.”
“I’ll be fine. You need to take care of yourself, Zaia. This evening was a mess. I wasn’t expecting you to go over to Sebastian like that! I thought you were staying low!”
she whispers, glancingtowards the shut door.
I nod. “I was, but Atticus didn’t leave me an option,”
I explain, sighing.
“Be wary of him… he’s still the enemy…”
I don’t reply. What option do I have?
“Thank Jai for me. He didn’t need to do that, but he did. Did you have to nag him to help?”
I ask apologetically.
She shakes her head, and a slight blush coats her cheeks.
“No, it was actually his idea,”
she mutters with an eye roll. “As much as I want to chat and catch up, I need to go before someone notices I’m gone.”
I nod. She reaches under her dress, and I smile at the leg strap she’s wearing. Ever efficient.
“Here… I want you to take these every night… ok?”
“What are they? I ask curiously.
She hesitates. “I sent a friend in Chicago some of your blood samples, recent ones plus some older ones, there are traces of poisoning in your system or so he thinks.”
I stare at her, shocked.
Poison?
“What?”
I manage to ask.
“It’s hard to pinpoint, as our cells still regenerate fast, but if he’s right, it means whatever’s poisoning you is still somehow being consumed by you,”
she explains quickly.
“Are you sure?”
I ask quietly.
“He was 90 percent sure, look, Zay, please, just be careful with what you eat and what you drink from here on out, because I think someone knows you’re here and whoever it is… is still somehowmaking sure you are affected by the poison… This is a special antidote, make sure you take it every night….”
My heart is thumping as I grip the counter.
Who would be so cruel to try to hurt a pregnant woman and why? What have I done to harm anyone?
Annalise.
But deep down, I don’t think she’s capable of such a complicated operation…
Did she have help?
Is there someone watching me that I don’t know of?
The bathroom door opens as two women step inside, laughing and chattering away, unaware of the dark atmosphere that hangs above our heads.
The merriment from outside fills the bathroom, but all I feel is dread, unable to focus on anything but the fact that someone wants me hurt, or worse…
Dead.
ZAIA.
“Zaia!”
Valerie turns back to me the moment the women leave the bathroom.
“Sorry, I got distracted.”
I shake my head, trying to clear it.
“Are you really ok? I know this is a lot to take in, but I really do need you to listen,”
Valerie whispers urgently.
“I know Val, I’m sorry.”
I reply. “I just… Sebastian clearly moved on and does as he wants. I don’t understand why he isn’t making her his Luna. She’s carrying his child. What more do people want?”
A part of me wants to tell him her truth, tell him that she threatened our children and at least warn him that even if he doesn’t want me, to tread carefully, for the sake of the pack.
“What?”
Valerie asks, staring at me, her eyes wide.
I look up at her. “Hmm?”
“You said she’s pregnant… did she say that? Jai’s not mentioned anything… I mean, even if it’s early days, Sebastian would tell him.”
My brows furrow; Early days?
“Valerie, she was pregnant four months ago… I know you can’t tell too much in her gown-“
Valerie scoffs. “What? The bitch wears skin-tight clothes every damn day. Trust me, she’s notpregnant. Plus, she was drinking the moment we got here!”
My heart skips a beat as I stare at her in shock.
She lied to me.
“Oh… I’m going to kill that bitch.”
Valerie turns, and I grab onto her wrist and shake my head.
“No… leave it. It was probably to hurt me… regardless of if it is… she’s still the one he chose.”
I reply, now fearing for my children even more.
I look down at the antidote vials I had hidden behind me when the women entered and slip them into my clutch bag. I need to get stronger. I need to get back to the healthy me so I can protect mybabies from anything.
“We need to tell Sebastian, the dumbass – that she’s lying!”
I frown. It makes me wonder… what else has she lied about? The kidnapping? And who knowswhat else she’s been telling Sebastian?
Someone who can threaten an unborn baby and lie about being pregnant can’t be trusted as a Luna. The pack doesn’t deserve that.
Although I am no longer part of the pack, I’m still worried about them.
We both agree to leave the bathroom at separate times, with me leaving first, and I almost bump into Atticus, who is waiting outside, leaning against the wall.
My heart thumps. I didn’t notice him. He’s standing there, arms crossed, and he gives me a small smile, his eyes raking over me and to the darker patch on my dress, where the drink had spilt.
