ZADE.
The Arkan.
The hunters who wanted us dead.
They use a special device that leads them to those who are chipped. A quick scan of an area makes us appear on
their screens as red blips, and the chips are
advanced enough to be pretty precise with their locations.
Fools who allowed themselves to trust humans. No human would agree to be chipped, so why did our kind?
That night after her unspoken rejection | had let loose, there's something oddly therapeutic about falling into the
ways you have known all your life.
| found a few of the Arkan since I've been trying to locate them anyway, and | killed them all without mercy.
Unleashing the anger that had been burning within me. Delivering judgment to those who dared to hurt our kind.
But | had to cback because I had taken nothing with me, and | had been hit with a poisonous bullet which
isn’t healing.
Having her show up in my place like that wasn’t what | was expecting. | didn’t think she had it in her to break
into someone’s home.
| had made sure to remain silent in the hope that she wouldn't hear me. After all, how am | supposed to face her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafter what happened? | let my guard down, something | never should have. | didn’t think she’d have heard that |
was back unless, of course, she was listening out for any sounds.
At least she’s learning to be more vigilant. Deep down a part ofreturned to see if she was ok but I will never
acknowledge that.
But why was she waiting for me? Because her friend was no longer around?
I'm not here to be available whenever she wants, not after she was practically. disgusted with having her tongue
in my mouth.
| slam the bathroom door shut and lock it as | toss my bloody shirt onto the sink before unbuckling my belt and
taking my pants off. A part ofwants to see what she has to say, but a bigger part ofknows it’s just not
worth it.
She and | are two entirely different groups of people. | am not going to waste my twith her...

Stepping into the shower, | rest my hand against the wall, gripping my right flank as the pain throbs through me.
Whatever poison they used, it isn’t healing fast and I'm going to have to let it work its way out of my system
slowly. Until then I'm still here...
But will | leave? As my vision darkens a little, | cut back a groan. The less | move, the easier it is to keep
conscious.
Who am | kidding? Yeah, | need to get away from her to keep my sanity, but she’s incapable of taking care of
herself. What if someone comes for her again? Unless | take her chip out or tell her to stop fucking telling
everyone she’s a werewolf, but that would needto talk to her again. Something I am not willing to do.
Or | could just cut her open and remove the chip whilst she’s asleep...
Wrong maybe, but for the right reasons.
| need to stop caring... | need to fucking stop caring!
Leaving back then... knowing that | may never see her again had been one of the hardest things to do. But | told
myself if it was meant to be, then our paths would cross, and they did.... But now what?
Do | let this chance go? Or do | take her for myself?
| step out of the shower, gripping my flank. When | bend down, it feels as if I'm going to fall unconscious, but |
should try to get whatever's left inside of me, out. This won't get any better.
| cut back another groan of pain as | pull on ssweatpants and drop onto the bed. First, | just need to rest...
VALERIE.
| can’t sleep, pacing like a lunatic. A part ofjust wants to give him space... but another part offeels |
need to talk to him.
I didn’t mean to hurt him like that... but I did.
How do | fix things?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Entering my bedroom, I sit on the bed and pick up the picture frof Jai that sits beside my bed. His piercing
blue eyes stare back atas if he’s really looking
at me.
“Jai...” | whisper, “What do | do?”
+15 BONUS
‘I wonder what kind of life he’s had... don’t always judge a book by its exterior..." his words
from long ago cto the front of my mind when we talked of someone who looked suspicious, and | close my
eyes, dropping sideways onto the bed.
Don’t judge a book by its exterior...
Zade Toussaint... | am quick to look at his faults... but what about his strengths...
He's protected me, fixed my car for free, set up extra protection around this place. for me, made sure | had
eaten... there is a side to him that shows he is more than his past defines him as.
He does have feelings... he has looked out forand these feelings | have don’t just go away. | may not want to
admit it, but | am already far too deep in to even try to deny that | care.
That kiss was proof enough until | washed it away right in front of him. I sit up, my heart thudding as | place Jai's
picture down on the bedside table.
