Chapter 0254

‘Kill Hugh Toussaint. The Father’s orders.‘ Gaultier’s strained voice comes. I glance at Hugh, who hasjust 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. Inthis 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, butshe’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. Fora 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 toshow 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. ‘Nowthey’ll see.”

What does he mean by that?
