Chapter 254

‘Kill Hugh Toussaint. The Father’s orders.‘ Gaultier’s strained voice comes. I glance at Hugh, who has
just freed himself from his cuffs as he staggers to his feet. His eyes are on the gun in the corner. –
Grab it…
‘Get the gun!‘ Gaultier snarls,
I turn sharply when Zaia bites into my neck, I shake her off, but the pain in my chest. is only worsening.
I’m hurting her. I’m fucking hurting her. Come on Hugh, get your stubborn girl out of here.
I know I’ve betrayed both of them, just when Hugh was beginning to accept me….
She strikes me again, throwing me against the table and I push her away, running towards Hugh. In
this small room, there isn’t much space to manoeuvre an
advantage and a disadvantage. But for Zaia who is smaller than I am, it’s better than
it is for me.
“Zaia!” Hugh says as he cocks the gun, pointing it at me.
She backs off and I realise she does not care if her father hurts me. That’s clear from
the menacing growl that leaves her.”
Knowing I’m being watched, I run towards him.
Shoot me, Hugh.
He’s struggling, and I’m almost worried he won’t do anything when I hear my Alpha
Queen growl as she jumps in front of him, shielding him protectively.
I pull back, narrowly escaping her claws from ripping into me.
She suddenly shifts, turning back into the woman I love. She’s stained with my
blood, her long hair covering her breasts as she takes the gun from her father.
“Zaia!” Hugh says. “Think this through…”
She ignores him. “Atticus is outside, go!” she commands him as she turns the gun on

1. me. I’m in the corner and in this small room, I’m at point–blank range.
Her eyes are cold as I watch her finger tightening on the trigger and at that moment,
I know I’ve lost her.
Forever.
But for Sia, I need to survive until I get that antidote, and then I’ll willingly die by her
hand if it eases the pain I know she’s in.
My eyes blaze with determination, trying to swallow the pain within me as I launch myself at her, but
she’s faster, pulling the trigger just as I throw us both to the
ground.
Pain ricochets through me and for a moment I can’t hear anything, and I’m forced to
shift back into human form.
I clutch my chest, my vision blurring. She barely missed my heart…
Her eyes widen in horror as they turn back to their beautiful lavender shade as she drops the gun. For
a split second there’s anguish in them, but when Atticus shouts,
she looks towards the door.
“Zaia, let’s leave!”
I’m glad he’s watching over her… once again, he’s the one who’s been there for her,
not me.
Her heart thunders as she staggers to her feet, and I can feel Gaultier trying to get
through to me, but I’m unable to focus any longer… the bullet was poison after all…
but it’s better it hit me than them.
I watch as she shifts back into her wolf form, running from the room. Not once does.
she look back and I can’t help but smile internally.
She’s doing ok…
Thank the goddess for that…
I grab the gun knowing she’s long gone as I point it at the door, with no intention to shoot but enough to
show that I tried but that I was simply several seconds too late.

“Fuck… he got away,” I mutter.
‘No. They won’t get away. How shocking that you failed.‘ Gaultier’s calm voice makes me uneasy. ‘Now
they’ll see.”
What does he mean by that?
