Chapter 0299

As much as those words sting, he’s doing it on purpose, playing mind games to guilt trip me.

He feels nothing… but he’s trying to manipulate me.

Once again, it shows that he is far too gone to save.

‘Shame that isn’t the way we were born to be. We grew up living two very different lifestyles… and ifthe goddess ever gives you a chance again… I hope you live a life worth dying for.‘ I whisper as thesharp wind whips around us as our auras clash like two storms, each one wanting to reign supreme.

‘Look around, it’s too late… we are almost at the finish line…‘ he says, gazing up at the sky that is filledwith smoke.

“Then I’ll be the one to kill you so I can surpass you to that finish line,‘ I counter menacingly as I shiftback to human form, and not waiting for his reply, I tear through his heart watching as the light fadesfrom his eyes.

A shadow of sadness washes over me. I did not know him, nor his past… he hated me to the core, butwe were blood…

I look down at his lifeless body before I stand up and slowly back away. His life was before him, but helet it all go… or more like it was stolen from him by the way he was raised.

Turning away from his body feels like a weight, but sometimes there are things that we have no controlor power over and not every death feels satisfying.

Shifting into my wolf, I race towards Zaia, following her scent through the rubble, bodies, and fire. It’shard to follow, but I can still smell her.

My mate…

I push the pain of her shutting me out to the back of my mind. It was something I was expecting,anyway.

Things around us have become a mess and I wonder how many have lost their lives in this foolishbattle that needs to be put to an end.

Fast.

That’s when I hear Zaia’s scream, and see Zade’s aura blazing high in the sky as he raises his hand,knife in hand with his aura wrapped around it, with one aim clear in his mind.

OSBONUS

To kill the man on the ground before him.

Hugh…

Time seems to slow as Zaia’s scream pierces the air. Breaking the barrier. Terror clear in her voice.

She won’t make it.

1 leap forward, but I’m too far…

Time seems to be still as I see a wolf leap forward, shielding the man on the floor.

‘NO!!!‘ I shout, my heart in my mouth as I watch the knife plunge into his chest.

No… please no….

Jai…

Zaia reaches them, pushing Zade back, her aura like the flames of a phoenix.

“I love you, V…” Jai’s broken voice comes as I reach them, just as Hugh catches his body as he’sforced back into human form.

“No! No son… You shouldn’t have…” Hugh’s voice is shaking as he holds his hand fruitlessly over Jai’sheart, blood pouring through his fingers.

“It’s alright… Zaia needs you.” Jai groans.

My heart is pounding as I turn to Zaia, who is tearing into Zade with no mercy.

Her screams of rage ringing around us, the flames of destruction surrounding us, blocking out themoon…

‘Dad! Bring Zion here now! Jai… Jai, he’s…‘ I trail off, refusing to believe it as Jai places his hand onmy chest and shakes his head slowly.

‘On my way!‘ Dad’s reply comes.

I look into Jai’s eyes, and he gives me one of those smiles that he used to always annoy me with. One Iwish I could see every fucking day if it meant he’d live.

“Take care of her for me.”

“No! Fuck, Jai no…”

“It’s fine man… Just know I never lost faith in you…” he whispers as his hand drops and his head fallsback.

“Ja…” My voice breaks as I realise he’s gone… He’s fucking gone….
