Zane’s POV
To say that I am shocked is an understatement. Ziana has pushed us away and I understand why, but I am
glad that she has finally opened up. I know that she hasn’t told me everything, but this is a good start.
Her confession has both opened and closed the wound of losing my mom and aunt Rose, but now I know what happened to them. I knew that they would have loved her, but actually knowing that they did, and
helped her in such a wonderful way, has my heart breaking and healing at the same time.
It didn’t escape my notice that she said Franklin was going to carve out her eye if she didn’t kill them. I made
the connection to the scar on her face, the one that starts at her hairline, then through her eyebrow and
around her eye. It is delicate, but sharp and surprises me that it isn’t jagged.
I watched her, curled up in my bed, tucked under my arm, and smiled. She has helped close the mystery of my
mother and aunt, I can now heal from the wound that was barely closed. I will help her heal too.
There is a sharp knock at my door, distracting me from my thoughts. Carefully I untuck her and move as
quietly as possible to the door. Right before I open it, there is another sharp knock and I open it, glancing
behind me to see that Ziana has rolled to her other side. I scowl at Killian as I step into the hallway and close
the door gently behind me.
“What do you want?” I whisper yell and he glares at the door behind me.
“She in there?” He asks, folding his arms over his chest.
“Yes.” I answer and he scoffs.
“Right after she tells us she killed our mothers and pack members, you take her to the bedroom and f*ck her?
I thought I knew you better than that.” Killian snarls, making me frown.
“You don’t know what.” I begin, but he holds his hand up.
“You know what? I don’t care. Whatever it is, just leave me out of it. I can’t believe that you are so quick to fall
in her arms. You aren’t who I thought you were.” He says, then turns and storms away. Leaving me
flabbergasted. I’m not who he thought I was? Are you kidding me? He’s not even thinking right now.
Before I get the chance to go back into my room, Addie comes around the corner, eyeing me suspiciously.
“What’s going on?” She asks and I sigh.
“She told me and Killian about our mothers and the attack.” I say, causing her eyebrows to rise, then scrunch.
“She. Told. You?” She asks and I nod, looking back at my room.
“Not everything, but it’s a start. Did you need her for something? She is sleeping now.” I explain and she
shakes her head.
“No I was just coming to let her know Leo fell asleep, so she would have a little bit before he would be
expecting her.” She explains and I nod.
“Okay. I’ll let her know when she wakes up.” I say, then turn and go to head into my room before she stops
- me.

“You forgive her?” She asks and I turn, her eyes cautious.
“There was nothing to forgive her for. She was forced to do what she did. If anything my heart is happy, knowing that our mothers were her first family.” I explain and she nods.
“And. Killian?” She asks, forcing me to huff.
“Being a dumba*s. He hasn’t actually thought about it. She was a child.” I say, shaking my head.
“Don’t let her pull away. It took a lot for her to tell you guys. Killlan might be stupid, but you’re obviously not. Treat her right and don’t let her run.” She warns and I nod.
“I won’t. She is mine and will be for the rest of my life.” I promise. She smiles and nods, turning back and walking down the hallway.
I go back into my room, shuffling carefully to lay next to Ziana. She is perfect, like an angel just for me.
Killian’s POV
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! I can’t. She is the reason my mother and aunt Lily were taken. She’s the reason they are dead. SHE killed them. My mate. The woman who was supposed to be made for me, killed my mother and aunt. Took my family from me. Not only that, she was a part of the attack and killed pack members. MY people.
After she told us, I left. I had to get out of there. I couldn’t even look at her. I thought Zane would be with me, but he stayed.
I went for a run, then ended up sparing. I thought that it would help, but it didn’t. Especially not after I found out Ziana was sleeping in Zane’s bed, I can’t believe that he would just jump into it with her. KNOWING she killed our moms and attacked the pack.
My mind is spinning as I pace my office. Her scent still lingers slightly in the space, causing Grim to growl
and whimper for his mate. He is pi*sed with me, but I can’t help the way I feel.
“Killian, my boy!” I hear cheered, and it pulls me from my thoughts. My gaze turns to my father, his hair is a
mess of black and slight gray, baby blue eyes, sparkling with happiness.
His arms are stretched open, waiting for me to greet him. Once he sees my state, his smile drops, and so do
his arms.
“What’s wrong?” He asks and I drag a hand through my hair.
“Another girl was taken.” I half lie. He sighs and comes to clasp me on the shoulder.
“We will figure this out, son. Catch me up on what has been going on.” He says, taking a seat in one of the
chairs. Then I begin to give him all of the details on the abductions.
