CHAPTER 63: AUNT JULIA

HAZEL'S POV

The earth stood still, my mind went blank and my

heart felt heavy. My soul was filled with pain and questions. If it wasn't for

Zander's hold around my waist, then I would surely tumble to the ground.

"Hazel, Hazel... talk to me, Kitten!"

Zander's voice sounded like he was far away, even though he was standing right

in front of me. "Kitten please snap out of it." He moved his hands

from my waist and settled them on my shoulders. He shook me hard, but I still

did not respond. I was just staring into space, dazed and confused.

He tugged me to his muscular body and encased me

into a warm hug. He lowered his head to the crook of my neck. "Hazel,

everything will be ok, I promise." He pulled away from the hug and lowered

his head to my eyes. "Hazel? I don't know what to do. You're not talking

to me...shit! You're not even blinking. I think I should call someone...maybe

Gabrielle."

I knew Zander was speaking, but my mind was too

busy searching for answers to all the questions cir
