Chapter 0212

“Let me finish,” I say, exhaling in frustration. “I can handle myself, Sebastian, this is what alwayshappens. Just let me explain.”

He’s frowning deeply and 1 really don’t want to be harsh, but I am going to have to say this.

“I can take care of myself, Sebastian. For several years, I was alone. I don’t need you to beoverprotective of me all the time, ok?” My tone is as gentle as possible yet firm enough to get themessage across. I need him to understand because [ know how he reacts.

He frowns but does not reply, and I sigh.

“We always hit this… this point, where you get mad and…”

Don’t give up Zaia… one of us has to be patient.

“I’m not mad. I’m simply wondering why you would be out there alone when you damn well know thatit’s dangerous.”

“I wanted to go for a run, something you have done countless times, but because you’re a man, it’s okright?”

He shakes his head, “Ok, I get it, you’re an Alpha, so I shouldn’t worry,” he replies coldly and places hisempty glass down and I sigh.

you

but “No. worry. You are allowed to worry. I mean, I worry about you, wouldn’t stop risking your life justbecause it worries me. I just mean, why the double standards?“.

“Can we just agree to disagree on this? I will always worry about you, regardless of whether you’recapable of handling yourself or not.”

He’s trying. I can tell that as much as he’s frowning, he’s controlling his temper.

“I can settle for that,” I say, placing my hand on his knee which is slightly raised. “Thank you forunderstanding.”

“Doesn’t mean I will ever like it. You’re mine, and nothing will ever happen to you.”

“It won’t,” I say softly, caressing his thigh for a moment.

“So, what happened?” he asks, his eyes serious.

“Well, I have a meeting with them tomorrow. They aren’t feral. Clearly just more

in touch with their wolves than the majority of us. They knew about you and consider most of uspathetic excuses of wolves.”

He’s frowning deeply as if pondering over something.

“A meeting? Did you consider the possibility it could be a trap? They think most werewolves are belowthem?”

“How? What will they get out of that? I want them on my side, Sebastian.” I reply firmly.

“Have you ever considered that perhaps they are already part of the Sable? Trust no one Zaia.”

His words send a shiver down my spine, but I don’t want to believe that…

“Well, I want to give this a chance and see if I can get them on my side.”

“Your side…” There’s an odd emotion in his eyes.

Our eyes meet and the chilling reminder of our destinies returns to the forefront of my mind, and I lookdown.

“Our side.” I correct myself.

He doesn’t respond, but why do I feel like he knows something?

“Our side.” He repeats, glancing over at his empty glass.

“Here,” I say, offering him mine.

He takes it, downing it in one go before placing it on the floor beside the tub. Got to love his big arms.

I get up, crawling over to him until I’m kneeling between his legs and look up at him.

There are emotions in his eyes that I can’t read as he stares off to the side.

“Hey…”

“So, how did you figure it out?” he asks, now turning his brilliant blue eyes back

on me.

“Figure what out?”

“You’re a smart woman, Zaia. Surely you know what I mean.”

He knows too…

He touches the back of his neck, and I shake my head.

“It just kind of made sense… and something your dad said only reinforced that theory, but it doesn’tmean anything. It’s clear they want us apart. From the beginning, they have done nothing but try to splitus apart. There’s a reason we’re better together.”
