“You did acknowledge him when you first made him Alpha. Why is it that things got worse between you two after my divorce?”
I ask. I’m not a fool, and although he seemed angry at me when I finally did decide to come back, our divorce was the starting point of things getting worse between the two. He doesn’t respond, staring at me as if wanting me to say what I have to and leave quickly. “Look, I know Gerard is your cousin and you two might be close, but the way you had Sebastian arrested without hearing what happened was not right. He is your son, and you know him. Would he really harm someone like that?”
“He was possibly angry at him. He had reason to be after all. I know the way Sebastian works.”
“What reason could there have been unless he was instigated?”
“He was instigated. Didn’t he tell you?”
He raises an eyebrow before he lets out an arrogant scoff. I mask my feelings, wondering what else Sebastian is hiding from me. What does he mean he had reason to be angry at him? “Tell me what reason?”
He refuses to answer, and I suppress my annoyance. “Well, I don’t think his reason has anything to do with it,
because I was the one who pushed Gerard.”
My words are soft but clear, and this time he isn’t able to keep his mask of indifference on his face. “Do continue.”
“It’s a long story. Allow me to start from the beginning. But first, tell me, Mr. King, how much do you know about the Blood Born? The Sable and the Sublime, two triquetras to either guide our kind back to our goddess or the other sent to ‘cleanse’ the planet or, in other words, destroy our kind.”
I ask. “I may have heard of it in passing,”
he says casually, but I have a gut feeling he knows more. “Of course, you would have. I have not hidden it and although you weren’t at The Crystal Shadows Pack the night that the Sublime Triquetra was formed, your allies were. And I know word has spread. Iknow you know that I am the final piece of the Sublime, the side that I) chose. And Gerard, well… not only was he the shooter when I was abroad, but he is also part of those who believe and support the Sable Jai had confirmed that there was not a mark on him, which meant he was just on their side, not one of the three points.
Aran frowns, and there’s a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.
So, he didn’t know about Gerard.
He needs to know everything. I realise that if I need to get through to someone as stubborn as Aran King, then I need to be firm and clear.
Feeling a little more certain, I continue, quickly telling him how Sebastian had divorced me because of the threats, how his life was threatened and so was mine. The poisoning whilst I was pregnant, Atticus, Valerie, what the man had said to her. I tell him everything and return to Gerard.he admitted to being the shooter, and he threatened me. He wants me to stay away from Sebastian and that he is the reason Sia is sick. Before my babies were born, he had someone inject me with something. God knows which visit or where this happened, but he attempted to blackmail me. If I stay away from Sebastian, he will give me the antidote Sia needs.”
For the first time, there’s concern on his face. “There’s something wrong her?”with
I nod, “We have tried so many avenues, even tried to heal her naturally. So many tests have been performed. Attempted treatment, nothing has worked. She is extremely weak.”
I explain, my heart clenching at the thought of my little one.
“And so learning of Gerard’s involvement, you pushed him?”
he says frowning. “Not entirely. I pushed him after he kissed me forcefully and in my rage, I pushed him off me. Sebastian only took the blame to protect me,”
I say quietly.
“Then you should be in prison, not him,”
he answers.
“Maybe, but Gerard is a monster and Sebastian and I are a team and will always protect one another, no matter who hates us for it and that won’t change.”
He shakes his head, smirking humourlessly.
“It’s too late. Far too late.”
Those words again, I’m sure he said them that day it all happened too.
“What do you mean?”
I ask.
He sits back, pressing his fingertips together.
“The thing is, Zaia, you two never should have split. Your relationship will neverbe the same. When something is broken once, it cannot be whole again. Those cracks remain. I’ve always disliked your family, but I knew you were the one who could save Sebastian, and so I approved of you.”
He now sits forward, his face as hard as ever, but his voice isn’t so hostile.
“But it’s too late now.”
Is that regret in his tone?
“What do you mean?”
He shakes his head. “I was told by someone long ago that there was a possible darkness in Sebastian’s future… and as long as he united with his fated mate, he will be safe… but if they were ever to break apart, then he is doomed.”
His words send a wave of fear through me, and I frown deeply, but they also confirm he knew a lot more than he had admitted.
“No… I don’t believe that.”
He exhales sharply. “You don’t need to, but it is the truth. I knew that day it wasn’t Sebastian who pushed Gerard. He wasn’t in the room long enough and with the door open, we should have heard it and we did not. I knew you did it, but the thing is Zaia, when you chose Sublime, you ultimately tipped Sebastian’s scale to the dark side.”
“No. Don’t say-“
“Don’t speak the truth? No! You wanted to hear it, so hear it. I may not have believed it all wholeheartedly, but to stay on the side of caution, I took the necessary precautions. I made sure you two were united. Things may be different now, but several years ago, I wanted to protect my son at all costs.”
I don’t want to hear this!
“We can still help him. He may have the Blood Born symbol but-“
“So, it’s already too late… Then, like myself, you need to see Sebastian as the enemy because the moment you two rejected one another was just the start and nothing can ever change that.”
My heart is thudding. I don’t want to hear this. I can’t….
“I will give you one piece of advice, Zaia. Sebastian is better off remaining in prison because if he is set free, I can assure you not only will you be making a grave mistake, but you will damn us all. The choice is in your hands.”
ZAIA.
It’s the following day.
After what I learned from Aran, I was unable to face Sebastian yesterday.
I didn’t want to talk to him, and after everything, I needed a moment to gather my strength. I didn’t want to go before him and break down.
So, instead, I put everything into preparing for his release.
I don’t believe what Aran has said. I refuse to believe it. There’s just something that isn’t right.
Gerard still wants us apart. Maybe being together will help Sebastian.
I can’t give up on him.
I will NOT give up on him.
Gerard is in prison and that should give me some peace of mind, but Aran’s words have reinforced that worry even if I don’t believe them.
I didn’t sleep last night and for a short while, I felt like everything was spiralling out of control.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell anyone what Aran had told me, because I couldn’t bear the seed of doubt in my mind.
I now stand in the council room where I have sworn an oath of truth before I tell them exactly what happened with Gerard and with that statement, I bring forward some of the notes Sebastian hadreceived.
The threats that we better stay away from one another… The sinister warnings. The Blood Born and everything else.
I finish with the confirmation of his poisoning of Sia and welcomed them to sample her blood too.
The Sable knew I wasn’t going to hold back; I have openly challenged them with my stubbornness, and there’s no time to lose.
The more I read the notes, the more I look through them, it becomes clearer than ever that they want us apart. They need us apart and with every card that I look down upon; I realise that my decision must be correct.
Sebastian and I, need to be together. No matter what.
“We have made our decision, Alpha.”
I look at the court members as they stop whispering amongst themselves.
They’ve come to a decision.
“As a combined decision, we have come to the agreement that Alpha Sebastian may be acquitted from prison and that you, Alpha Zaia, will not be held responsible for the events that led to Alpha Gerard King’s injury.”
The man speaks clearly, glancing at the audience.
“However, we hope that you, Alpha Zaia, will make sure that you reach out to his pack and family to explain exactly what happened because we cannot afford to be at odds with his pack. Further action can only be taken once he is awake.”
He finishes.
“Understood, and thank you,”
I say, feeling a wave of relief rush over me.
“No, we thank you for allowing us to judge this despite you being our leader.”
