“Back then, when Jai... cheated on me... it was because Agatha had put something in his drink. She was trying to

cause a rift between you and Sebastian by breaking up your friends, knowing you would take my side and

Sebastian would take Jal’s.” She says as Jai looks down, clearly ashamed.

Because of us?

| hate that we were the reason for them being torn apart....

| can’t believe it, how Agatha had dropped so low makessick, and the fact she’s been at this for so long!

“I'm sorry..

“Zaia! It wasn't your fault.” Valerie scolds firmly.

“Exactly.” Atticus frowns.

“So... it was all planned,” | say..

Valerie nods, her eyes glittering with tears.

“Meaning, he didn’t cheat on me, he was set up.” She says, and although they are together again, | can tell just

how much relief this has brought her. To know that her man didn’t cheat on her. She may have forgiven him, but

it was not something she

could forget.

She sits on the armrest and Jai pulls her into his arms, and she hugs him tightly.

“And a woman just happened to be there to seduce him? Who was the woman?” Atticus asks, and | look at him

sharply.

“They might be working with Agatha,” | say, understanding what he is insinuating.

“Cara,” Valerie says, looking at me.

| stare at her in disbelief, remembering her with Sebastian at the hotel back at that

time...

1 scoff. Someone we once considered a friend.

“Has she been apprehended?”

“No,” Jai says.

“Then get to it. | don’t care if she’s innocent or not,” | sny, frowning deeply. “Just put her on house arrest but

remove all technology devices. | trust no one.”

“You trust us, right?” Valerie asks softly.

“Of course...” | reply.

She smiles and glances at the boys. “Alright, out. | want to talk to Zaia about her pregnancy, and we don’t need

you two here.”

“Why not?” Jai says as Atticus stands up with a smirk.

“Well, make sure you let her rest, too. You need to be careful, Red.” He says as he caresses my cheek, and

leaning down he kisses my cheek,

Jai rolls his eyes, but | force a small smile. He knows my stance on his affection and that won't change, but |

really wish he stopped loving me....

“I will,” Valerie promises.

“Would you like anything to eat or drink, Zaia? You have been unconscious for a few hours and did lose a lot of

blood. You need to keep your energy up for the both of you,” Atticus asks, pausing at the door.

“That's not a question. She obviously needs food. Let's go find some...” Jai grumbles as he yanks the door shut

before | can even reply.

| chuckle lightly as I glance over at Valerie, who is no longer smiling.

“Zaia...”

“Mhmm?” | murmur, touching my waist as | sit up straight. The dull pain is there, but

it’s not so bad...

“There's something | have to tell you,” she whispers.

My heart sinks. | can sense the guilt radiating off her, and I'm already dreading what she’s about to say.

“What is it?” | ask.

She looks down before taking my hand, which is hooked up to an IV drip, and takes a deep breath. “Before he

left, he- Sebastian, toldhe'll get the antidote for Sia. |

begged him to think of you, but he said he had no other choice and to not mention it

to anyone.”

A pang of pain hitsdeep in my chest as | realise once more, that one of my closest had kept something so

important from me.

“He used his Alpha command-"

“Val... you're a member of the Sublime. You are not so weak that you couldn't defy

him. If you really wanted to tell me, you could have.” | whisper. The hurt I'm feeling

is intense and | know it is showing through the crack of my armour.

“I know, | tried, but the pressure was intense, and | understood his reasoning-"

“Yeah... | might just have suffered a little less if | knew... you once said toit was

sisters before misters...You should have toldVal...” | say quietly.

“I know... and I'm sorry. | didn’t even tell Jai, | promise... | am truly so sorry.”

Everyone always is...

But I still nod, signalling that it’s fine... even though it’s not.

She's saying something but | can’t focus anymore, all | can think of is the fact that

she hid it from me.

Just another betrayal added to the ever-growing mountain...

When will it stop?

And then there’s the fear that claws at my insides.

Who will betraynext?

“Thank you, Valerie, for telling me. I'm a little tired. Can you leave?” | ask

“I am sorry, Zaia. He didn’t want to risk it.” She tries again.

| nod slightly, the ghost of a smile crossing my face. It feels foreign, but it'll do...

“Yeah. Good night, Valerie.”

She nods. “Umm, I'll make sure Atticus brings sfood, and then get srest.

“No need, I'm not hungry,” | reply.

“Zaia...”

“I'm fine, really. Just go.” | end the conversation and even she knows this is it.

She stands, switching off the light before leaving the room, and | am left alone with my thoughts. I look down at

my stomach and place a hand on it.

| will protect you, little one...

| stare out through the crack in the curtains and stare at the moon.

The tis nearing...
