ZADE.
It's the middle of the night and despite the stuffy weather that would never usually bother me, tonight | am
unable to fall asleep...
Not that | sleep easily, anyway.
The ghosts of the past do not let you sleep, the skeletons in the closets are always near, ready to reveal
themselves and right now there is one person who | never want to ever learn those dark secrets....
Valerie Scott or rather Valerie Grace Astor, daughter of Beth and Lance Astor. The couple who outsmarted us to
protect their children... and for years the Sable. didn’t even realise their children were alive... She has the brains
like her parents, she just needs to work on understanding her intuition.
I slowly flip the knife in my hand between my fingers, staring at the ceiling, the occasional orange light from
outside crosses the ceiling when a car passes by.
The Sable...
They- we are responsible for her PTSD. She might be a doctor, but she seems to be blind to the fact she needs
help. How did her friends even allow her to be out here alone with that trauma and when they sure as hell know
of the troubles that our kind are now facing?

Thanks to what we did back then, everyone learned of us.
The world has changed. Blowing our cover made us targets for the world, bringing us under intense scrutiny.
We're all forced to be registered. With a barcoded chip being placed inside of us, so we can be identified as
werewolves as different. 1
Zaia may be trying to fight against it whilst keeping the balance, but the truth is, the damage cannot be undone.
The boy had the power to make everyone forget. but she refused it and now!... now we are paying the price...
Who knows if it is my upbringing, and the fact | have been forced to survive and trust no one, but | can see them
turning on us. See them use those chips to spy on and keep track of us at all times.
They already want to know where we are staying, already embedding these chips with a signal when we enter
stores... Soon they will be watching us like criminals and it’s only a matter of tbefore they begin to hunt

I sit up, staring at the knife I'm turning between my fingers.
What is the deadliest of emotions?
Fear.
When that fear loses control, they will cfor us.
Terrified of what we could possibly do.
I'm not chipped, but it’s only a matter of tbefore they findand try to do that to me. Not that | plan to
stay in one place long enough...
| was born an Alpha... but here | am, in a small town in the middle of nowhere, fixing cars to get by.
This is the life I've resorted to....
Is it better than prison?
I'm not sure.... How do | get rid of the
guilt when I'm walking free?
Gaultier had gone after her back then... but it could have been me, only | refused to attack from behind. | smirk
humourlessly staring at the blade in my hand as | drop back onto my pillows.
If | was the one to go after her... Would things have been different? Would | have gone through with it? Could her
trauma have been prevented?
I glance at the wall behind my head. She hadn't left all day today, and there was silence from her apartment.
She spent it in bed, that much | knew.

Well, soon enough, she’ll get over her past trauma. Maybe not fully... because sthings don’t just go away,
but she’ll be able to cope with them. I'm going to make sure of it.
| throw the knife up, watching it whizz downwards. For a second, | wonder how it'll feel if it stabbedthrough
my eye... | know that pain... but I've blocked that memory out so it’s not so clear anymore. | don’t remember the
sheer level of the pain...
| catch it between my two fingers, the tip millimetres from my eye.
There was a twhen Lawrence Walton considereda prodigy, the leader of the Sable... but when he
realised | was not the one he needed, his attitude towardschanged.
(FLASHBACK)
“I refuse,” | reply quietly as I look at Gerard and Lawrence who sit there, at that
grey oak table where they made every decision in their twisted plan.
“Did you say you refuse?” Gerard scoffs, irritation clear in his eyes. Whilst Lawrence simply smiles there's no
humour in it not anymore.
