VALERIE.

His eyes widen ever so slightly before he pulls free from my hold, turning away.

“I’m done with your games. Now get the fuck out of here and go back to your pack,” he says coldly.

“I’m not going anywhere, and you can’t tell me to.” I counter quietly, my heart racing.

“Then you’re going to die because I won’t be around for long,” he answers harshly.

My heart skips a beat. “Wait what?”

“And you might want to tell your precious Alphas they’re getting their own people killed. Demand the government stop this propaganda. This tracking us like animals? They are only giving more reason for those who believed in the Sable to realise that we do need to protect ourselves. This will cause a war and I assure you I will be on the frontline leading the rebellion because I’m not going to sit back and let our kind die to please others.” He snarls as he staggers to his

feet.

“Zade…” Despite the weight of his words that truly resonate within me, I am unable to ignore how ill he looks. I stare at the large black–red bruise that covers his entire side. “What the hell happened to you?” I get off the bed and I walk over to him, forcing his hand away.

“I don’t need you taking care of me. I need you to listen, so when you return home, you pass my message on,” he says, urgency clear in his voice.

My heart thuds as I try to focus on his words without my mind spinning at the horrific bruising. It’s bad. It might need to be drained… “I will… but before you can take care of others, Zade, we need to fix you,” I whisper as he moves away just when I try to touch him.
