The three of them stared at Zane with wide eyes, unable to phantom what he had just said."Heather, I and Levi should stay with you at your mansion?” Kiara questioned like she hadn't heardhim well the first time. He tilted his head at her then nodded.

"Yes, that's what I just said" She frowned.

"No" He raised an eyebrow.

“No?” She nodded.

“I don't think Levi will get comfortable moving into your mansion while he..." Zane suddenlygroaned, cutting her sentence short.

“Can you please stop talking about him in front of me? I'm worried about you and I could care lesswhat happened to him" She sighed.

“Well I care about him and I know he's going to be very uncomfortable staying at that mansionespecially with the kind of person you are" Zane scoffed.

“The kind of person I am? And what's that supposed to mean exactly?" Daniel and Heather juststood still, watching the pair bicker like old married couples.

"Oh? You really want me to tell you? You and I both know that you're going to make him souncomfortable that he'll be begging to leave” Zane grinned.

"Oh my Love, you know me so well" She rolled her eyes.

“I don't want him to be uncomfortable because I'll be uncomfortable as well and everything is justgoing to be a mess. The three of us can't live together under the same roof" Zane opened hismouth to say something but his eyes Suddenly trailed behind her and it turned cold when he sawLevi behind Heather.

"What roof? I'm sorry I couldn't get here quicker, the road is a mess right now. Did somethinghappen?" Heather turned towards Levi with a smile.

“Great, you're here. I was getting bored anyway. Let's go, Kiara" Heather uttered then made a moveto grab Kiara's hand but the look Zane threw at her made her blood run cold.

“Kiara, I suggest you get your friend in check because she's really starting to annoy me" Kiara raisedan eyebrow.

“She and I are a package deal so if you want to be close to me, get used to her attitude" Heathersmirked then folded her arms as she stared at Zane. He couldn't do anything to her as long as Kiarawas here.

“Can someone please tell me what's going on?" They all turned to Levi who had a confused look onhis face.

"Since Levi is here, why don't we let him speak for himself for a change?" Kiara furrowed hereyebrows as she turned to Zane.

“What are you going to tell him? That there's a scary monster out and about in the country killinganyone in its path?’ She immediately mind linked Zane and he tilted his head. Well that was thetruth, what else did she expect him to say?

“Listen, Levi. I'm going to try saying things as slowly as I can so you can understand me properly”Everyone rolled their eyes except Levi who still seemed confused.

“Is something going on?"

“There's a monster running loose in the country” Levi paused for a while, trying to comprehendwhat he had just heard.

“I'm sorry, did you say a monster?" Zane sighed as he massaged his temples.

“Gosh, I'm losing brain cells talking to this guy” Kiara rolled her eyes then walked towards Levi andgrabbed his hand.

“I know you won't believe it but there's a monster on the loose, we were not the only ones who sawit, can't you see the way everyone around us is panicking?" That was when he took in the scene infront of him. Even a news station's van had pulled up and was asking questions around. A monster?Monsters were real?

"Are you in danger?” That was the first thing he asked as he held onto Kiara's hand tightly. She wasall that mattered to him.

Zane's eyes trailed towards their interlocked fingers and without thinking, he walked up to themand yanked Kiara's hand out of Levi's and pulled her closer to him.

“I'm here. She's never going to be in danger with me around" Kiara was so taken aback by hisactions but when she regained her senses, she pushed Zane apart and gave him glare.

“Now is not the time for you to be possessive, Zane. Listen Levi, this monster is very strong and weare going to need Zane's help to survive right now" Levi frowned as he briefly glanced at Zanebefore turning back to Kiara.

“I have guards that can...”

“No, Levi, your guards can't protect us against this monster. Zane has... he has trained guards.They're trained to fight off monsters like this and that's why we'll be needing his help” Levi sighedas he massaged his temples. This was all confusing to him.

He hadn't even wrapped his head around the fact that there was a monster on the loose now Zanehad guards that were trained to fight monsters? How?

"So what are you trying to say?" He questioned as he stared into her eyes. She bit her lower lip thenlet out a sigh.

"Will you be willing to stay in his mansion with Heather and I for a while?" Levi frowned thenglanced at Zane.

“In his mansion with him? Kiara you know..."

“I know, I know, it's going to be awkward because of the situation we are in but for now, it's whatwe must do to survive. I know this is all confusing to you and I wish I could explain further but Ican't. I just need you to trust me" Levi's frown deepened then he turned to Zane and when he sawthe taunting look on Zane's face, his nose flared.

“I'm not sure he and I can survive in the same house" Zane smirked.

“I can but you won't" Kiara groaned then turned to Zane.

“You're not making this any easier” Zane rolled his eyes.

“Listen to me, I don't care If he comes with us or not, I've made that super clear and I don't care ifyou hate me or hate the sight of me right now, Kiara because no matter what you say, I'm draggingyou over to my house because I need to keep you safe” Levi frowned.

"Why do I have to go? If he can keep you safe then... then you can go with him" She shook her headthen grabbed onto his hand

“I didn't save you that day to leave you all by yourself especially when something like this is runningaround in the country. Yes, I know you have thousands of guards but they can do so little for youright now. You were there for Heather and I from the first day we met you and It won't sit right withboth of us if we left you all by yourself" Levi stared at her for a while.

“You... care about me?" She smiled.

"Did I ever say I didn't?" A bright smile appeared on his face. It was so bright that Zane wantednothing more than to punch his face. He didn't understand why Kiara always seemed to care aboutothers too much.

It didn't bother him before because he knew she was his and his alone but now, he wasn't surewhere he stood and with the way Kiara cared about Levi, he was beginning to feel insecure.

Had she begun to have feelings for Levi?...
