Chapter 0300
VALERIE.
“We need to go to Jai!” | cry hearing the feedback coming through the headpiece as | cough, my lungs filled with
smoke. I'm scared Jai is going up against Zade single-handedly when Alpha Hugh is struggling!
He's too powerful, they're saying after Sebastian and Zaia he’s the next most. powerful.
My entire body is hurting from the blast that just took place.
Zaia and Sebastian have gone after Gerard and Gaultier, but we can’t just stay here, we need to get to Jai and
Hugh!
I'm scared, scared for Jai’s safety and fear losing him... Goddess, protect him!
“Let's go,” Atticus says as he pullsup from the rubble and we break into a
run.
“Stop right there...” someone says, and the sound of a gun being cocked makesfreeze.
| stop in my tracks, coming face to face with none other than Daniel, Sebastian's ex-assistant, only he is dressed
in black, with a protective vest on. But it's not the suits our men are wearing....
Unease fillsas Atticus pullsbehind himself.
“Can | help you?” he asks.
Daniel sighs. “No, but I'm afraid you two can’t go any further,” he says, signalling with two fingers.

Atticus growls as he jumps back, his aura surging around him as the ground caves underneath us, an explosion
going off.
We back up as Daniel stands there calmly.
“Stay back, please. | don’t wish to harm anyone.” Daniel says quietly.
“What is the meaning of this!” Atticus snarls.
“I'm doing what is right, what the goddess has always wanted. I've worked hard to serve my masters.” His voice
is barely more than a whisper on the wind, but it makes my blood run cold, his words ringing in my head.
Worked hard... he was Sebastian’s shadow for years, always taking care of

everything Sebastian needed... like Agatha, he was one of Sebastian's trusted... and one who was always close...
But how?
How did this even slip by us?
For a few seconds, my mind replays a hundred memories on fast in seconds and with damning clarity, | realise
he was always there... from the beginning... in the shadows of Sebastian... right beside our Alpha for years...
The boy in the woods...
My heart is thumping as | connect the dots.
It all makes sense.
(FLASHBACK - MANY YEARS AGO)
“Sorry, Alpha, can | speak to you alone?” | ask looking at our new Alpha. Alpha Sebastian King is terrifying and
the power that he radiates from him fills the
room.
“Daniel is my assistant. Whatever you have to say, say it, he can be trusted,” Sebastian says, taking a seat
behind his desk.
Nervously, | glance at the man behind him. Daniel givesa small smile and | recognise him. He is Sebastian's
shadow, and he always has been for a long time. | remember now.
“If you're done staring, tellwhat you need, Doctor Scott. | don’t have all day,” Sebastian says, flipping open
a file, clearly a sign that he has a lot to do.
“Ah, of course, well it was regarding an extension of the hospital...” | begin, quickly returning to what | chere
for...
| step out of Alpha Sebastian's office, only for Jai to pullaround the corner and pinup against the wall.
“There you are, and | was wondering where you went...” he murmurs, leaning closer tobefore kissing me
passionately. | melt into his touch, kissing him. back for a few sizzling seconds, but remembering where we are, |
gently push him back.
“Jai, not here!” | hiss.
“Mmm, but you taste so good...” He g
taste so good...” He groans and | feel him throb against me.
| push him back, breathing hard as | poke my eyes out at him. “Jai!”

He chuckles, running his fingers through his sexy brown locks. “Ok ok, I'll behave for now. So, did you get what
you needed?”
“Yes, | did, although | wasn’t expecting his assistant to stand there the entire time,” | say, knowing how
passionate | can get about hospital issues, but | also didn’t want to discuss it in the presence of anyone else.
However, he didn’t makefeel uncomfortable, and the Alpha didn’t seem offended that | questioned the
matter in front of someone else.
| guess it worked out.
“Oh, Daniel? You don’t need to worry about him. He's been with us since we were kids, The Luna or now Ex Luna.
Mrs King appointed Daniel to be there for Sebastian since he was like thirteen.” Jai explains, shoving his hands
into his pockets as he falls into step withand we both walk down the Pack Hall hallway and towards the
entrance.
“Oh, | see... | do think I've seen him from the festivals at The Crystal Shadow Pack too, the lurker!” | chuckle.
“The boy in the woods!”
Jai snickers. “Yeah, he’s always been Sebastian's shadow, but he’s just doing his job and Daniel can be trusted.
He even manages Sebastian's business side of work stuff, too. Relax, you can be yourself around Daniel... and
get all bothered around me,” he growls as he yanksinto an empty room, makingshriek in alarm.
His lips crash against mine, cutting off my panicked yelp, which becomes a moan of pleasure as he ignites a fire
within me...

The boy in the woods... how did | never realise it!
