Chapter 35: Hidden II
***Natalia***
Zane suddenly doubles over in pain, his hands gripping his head as a small whimper escapes his throat.His breathing becomes ragged, and I fear he might pass out with every heavy breath.
Wyatt steps forward to soothe the young pup, but Sebastian’s booming voice makes him cower back in his place.
“Do not coddle him!” Sebastian warns, his voice echoing off the walls.
“He must be a man and face his fate on his own.”
Zane’s legs finally give in, and he falls to his knees until finally, his pain stops.
Panting, he slowly raises his head to face his father, wiping his tear-streaked cheeks with his sleeves.
“You will remain here until I find a way to make you go away,” Sebastian snarls, before turing on his heel to leave.
Wyatt does not move, his eyes glued to the trembling little boy still sitting on his knees.
“I’m sorry,” he mumbles to Zane, a single tear sliding down his cheek.
“WYATT!”
Sebastian calls over his shoulder, Wyatt wiping his face and following his Alpha out the door.
The door slams shut, the bolts jingling as they lock Zane in his prison.
towards the little boy, he fades away like sand between my fingers, the memory melting back into the darkness.
The pitch black only lasts a moment before I once again find myself in the same room, Zane looking up at his father, a small shaking woman behind him.
As I look closer, I realize it’s Agnes, much younger but just as beautiful as she is now.
“You will be moving to the Omega house with her,” Sebastian snaps.
“She’ll help you pack your things.” He growls when both Agnes and Zane remain frozen in place.
“Do I have to repeat myself? Get moving!” he commands, pushing Agnes into the room.
He leaves without another word, Zane rushing over to help Agnes to her feet.
At first Agnes shields herself from Zane’s touch but when she recognizes that he only means to help, she allows him to hold her hands.
She signs the word “thank you” to him but Zane does not seem to understand.
Agnes then pulls out a pen and paper from her pocket and the two of them exchange greetings in silence.
Almost instantly, Zane takes a liking to Agnes, smiling very brightly at her with every note she writes.
