Book 2 preview
"Zuria." I created a shield protecting us from the tranquilizer bullets that are being shot her direction as well as the dragon. I kinda have faith that Zuria will not kill Naya and thankfully she just annihilated the haters off her shoulders. The winner was announced, the dragon disappeared shots stopped being fired and when I looked back Zuria is on the floor. She's looks terrible, her face and hair is covered in dry blood. She has cuts, bruises and burns all over. I engulfed her with my wings to prevent anyone seeing at her weakest. In a matter of I carried her off and my Pannak joined me. I don't when they started caring about Zuria but I am glad they love and respect her.
I woke up next to Zoe, I have a feeling something is wrong. She is yet to wake. Raven is a homeopath and her constant reassurance gave me hope, that my Vita is not dead but she is so far gone that it is hard to consider her alive. Zoe is powerful, whatever is going on I know she will be able to fight though it and it sucks her condition has been the same for like weeks now. My investigation proceeded as normal. But the thing is, nothing. Whatever happening under the carpet, secretes not making the stories connect and my constant worry for my mate breaking me. Like sleeping beauty, I kissed her lips every day hoping that fairy tale held a spark of truth. I was no longer surprised to be disappointed, besides today was the end of the forth month and she is still unconscious.
Waking up felt like a long awaited dream. Staring at the man I thought I would never see again brought back so much heartache. It's funny how my haven was him and opening my eyes to see his gorgeous face made all the difference. I will be his fated love him like none other and the glow in his eyes shared the same sentiment. "Ah. Zoe you awake!" Zuria cried out holding the door open for, Loralei, Chiara and Raven before attacking me with a hug. Laughing, felt foreign to me, something long forgone and laughing at that moment made me hold on to the memory. Taylor stepped in and I felt the blood rush through my brain as the silence dragged.
"Guys can you leave Zuria and I alone." I know what Zoe was doing. I might be blind but I'm not stupid. I know she knows I'm not that stupid so when the door closed I felt her angry burning eyes. "What the hell are you playing at Zuria?" I took off my shirt. I stood in the middle of the room in just my bra and scars. I know the girls saw them when they cleaned me up that day, I know Loki saw the scars the day I wanted to run away and I know she can see the scars because I heard her gasp. "My ex did that to me."
I don't know what this woman is making of me but the prince of hell sits on the floor helplessly listening to my little leach crying her eyes out. She stayed inside for almost an hour when I heard the door open. "I am trying to push you away." She joined me on the floor drawing her knees close to her chest. I hate to believe I despise her tears. She's never at least gave me an opportunity or chance with her and I still don't have the will to leave her right now. "You've never stopped pushing me away. Its exhausting now. Zuria I will not force you to make me part of your life, I just want to keep you alive long enough to ensure you will live." I give her a sad smile she will never see. She scooted closer to me and I sat still wanting to see what will happen next. "I don't hate you."
I am not in any type of relationship with anyone. Okay that's a lie but when Zoe practically rejected me, I could nothing but accept what was happening. I watched as my best friend forgot about me, she fell in love with the demon and apart from the usual threats I was useless. Zuria who I came to like slowly disappeared into the same rabbit hole my best friend and friend fell in love and I was alone. I have never been alone, I way too popular in high school. Hunt and feast with my family, shared a room with my youngest brother who is alpha. The rest of my time is Zoe, was Zoe and it hurt being replaced.
Oh shoot. She tasted my blood. She knows. Before she could say anything I moved closer to block her mouth ignoring all discomfort and pain. Surprised and concerned she stopped talking, the moment she did I let go almost crying out in agony. She saw my pain and she held on to my shoulders ignoring the growling bloodied alpha wolves. "I'm fine. I'm fine." I assured the two behind me and this lovely girl in front of me. I just had to stop her from uttering any more words. "It's fine. There no reason to feel guilty." "I doubt you ever noticed me, hi. My name is Jessica but you can call me Jess. I'm in your class. I liked you but now, can we be friends?" "You like me?" The two wolves stepped closer with my words but my focus is on the crazy woman who decided to attack the person she likes than speak to me logically. "Liked, so please tell your alphas to relax." "My what?"
Big mistake playing with two big bad wolves that wore sheep's clothing longer that either wanted to. We will ruin this man for any others. We will drive him insane that we will be all that he craves. "Gu-" "Don't speak unless spoken." "Now do you prefer we lift you or will you be able to walk on your own?" "Walking where?" Before he could say something, the man took his shirt off. "You said no speaking unless spoken, I heard a question and words therefore-" Cain grabbed the blabbering man hauling him on his shoulder and the other kneeled to remove his pants. "Hey. What the hell? Out me down. I did not give a response. Where the hell are me going. What the f*ck?! Mhhmmm mmhmm..."
