326-Losing The Huldra.
Maura?" Zane jumped off the couch, standing straight and facing his brother, his eyes displaying many emotions.
It was pretty obvious that not only did he know of her but was also concerned about her.
'I was expecting you would not react but—" the way Akin said it, I realized he knew his brother knew of her but he didn't know to what extent the two were connected.
‘There is no way Maura would hurt anyone," I spoke up, thinking about her innocent face. I know what she did to me was awful, but she did it for her mother. Unless Varisha, Ubel, and everyone else dying had threatened her mother, I don't see a reason she would hurt anyone.
’Well, she confessed to killing her father—," Akin said, but a hard head shake from me caught his eye.
‘That man was never her father. He abducted her and kept her mother—Destiny Despair chained to his basement,’ I know the information I was providing them was too much, and it was pretty obvious from their faces as well.
‘What? Destiny Despair! I have heard of her," Helel claimed.
’Wait! They caught her? Where is she right now?" Zane didn't want to talk about anything other than whether Maura was fine.
‘They are chasing after her to the mountains. Father is taking care of this case himself," Akin said every word with much care because he could see the twitching in Zane's body.

’Bullshit!" Zane yelled, "she is not a killer! Fuck!" he yelled and threw his phone on the wall, shattering it.
‘Zane! Is she—," Helel asked.
’She is my fucking mate!" Zane yelled in desperation, storming out of the house without uttering another word to any of them.
’We should follow them," I suggested, and Akin gave me a head nod.
‘I am coming with you guys,’ Helel suggested, but Akin and I disagreed with him. If he comes out now, every finger will be pointed at us. My truth will come out, and it will get even messier.
‘Just a few more days, okay? I promise to introduce you back to the pack and the world. But right now, we need you to remember those lost dreams," Akin walked over to comfort Helel and make him understand. Reign looked upset because it was just so weird being a different creature in a world full of werewolves.
'Akin! We need to go. I am not having a good feeling about this," I requested Akin, and soon we walked out of the house, leaving Reign with Helel to make sure he didn't leave the house.
’I am so worried for her,’ the instant we sat down in the car, I began to yammer.
’I am sure everything will be fine when Zane finds her before dad," Akin said, speeding up to the mountains.
’It is just that she had been through a lot, Akin. She is a Huldra—so people might take her as a bad creature,’ I was just rambling at this point, and kudos to Akin for listening and entertaining me.
’I understand," he said.
'You are worried about someone who left you with that psychopath?' Ace scoffed at me, chilling and sounding less bothered.

'She made a mistake and she returned to correct it. Not many people can own up to their mistakes and are also ready to sacrifice their own lives in order to mend everything,' I defended Maura, but I knew why Ace wasn't on her side. Ace was similar to those old-fashioned werewolf elders. She thought anyone who wasn't a pure breed was not worth our time.
'I just hope this creature called Maura is dealt with today. Once she is out of the picture, will you accept Zane?' The way Ace made it about me and him made me clench my jaw and not even respond to her.
’Sorry! I am a bit too grumpy today. But I will not tell you why since you are giving me the silent treatment,' she continued to comment, but I ignored her again.
I was not in a mood to deal with her sarcastic comments for now. Soon we had arrived, and rushing out of the car, we realized Zane had already been on the mountains. Akin and I sprinted towards the noises and could already tell it wasn't going well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI could hear Vasquez's voice from afar. While running up the hills, we caught up with Zane, who was only a few steps ahead of us now. Once we reached our destination, a mutual gasp escaped our lips as Vasquez had Maura cornered and a gun pointing at her.
Dad! What are you doing?’ Zane yelled, trying to reach his father, when Vasquez placed his finger on the trigger.
Maura!’ Zane called for her. She stopped crying and stared at us.
‘One more step, son! And I will kill her,’ Vasquez's warning stopped our proceeding steps. The situation was getting out of hand now, and Vasquez seemed so consumed by finishing Maura that he didn't see his son stressing over her fate.
’I am sorry!" Maura whispered when our eyes met. I felt bad for her. There were clear indications of what had happened to her in the form of dry blood between her legs and on her dress.
’Dad! Put the fucking gun down. She is not a killer,’ Zane yelled once again, shaking as he watched Maura just stare at us with no emotions anymore. It was a sad sight. It's almost as if she died before-—
And then Vasquez shot her.
A loud noise hit the air when the iron bullet went straight to her heart.
Everything seemed to have slowed down for a moment. And then—two more shots. One in the head and the other in the stomach.
’NOOOOO!’ Zane's blood-curdling screech deafened us, and Akin grabbed him from his back, refusing to let him get near the falling body of Maura.
In the last moments of her body dropping off the hills, she managed to stare at Zane and then closed her eyes.
