Chapter CHAPTER 42
Something shimmering behind Ozrain's shirt button. What is that? Selena tried to sharpen her vision. It is a gold, heart shaped
hiatus locket, something that is familiar to her, much familiar to her. A sudden fear striked her, shivering her to core and it clicked.
The locket belongs to her mother, Daisy. It is now hanging on Ozrain's neck. The claw mark on Daisy's car and Ozrain saying
that his daughter died years ago-it all clicked. Ozrain must have killed her mother thinking that she is his daughter. Selena eye
widened at the locket. Ozrain caught her view, although he doesn't know how the girl in front of him related to his dead daughter,
he was sure of not letting her go. A determination crept to his eye which portraited as anger and he is now glaring at Selena. She
turned around in a swift, attempting to run back to Zaden but Ozrain caught her from behind. He lifted her up from the floor.
“ZADEN!!!” the pack panicked and stepped to attack
‘STAY’
A mind-linked stopped them at their feet. It was Ozrain. An urge to obey him,seized their foot. He grabbed hold of the girl in his
arm, enduring every hit and scratch she is inflicting. The 5 in front of them didn't move from their spot but begged Ozrain to leave
Selena and none entered his ears.
“Ozrain, what are you doing?” Grandpa Kai exclaimed
“I'm not losing my daughter one more time” Ozrain turned around to leave. Just a few steps before he heard a loud voice
“She is pregnant!!!” Ozrain stopped, Selena stopped. Everyone around them stopped
“She is pregnant, with my child. With your blood, a promise of a next werewolf in Samrat.” Everyone's eye widened as they
darted back and forth from Selena and Zaden. Even Selena was shocked
“Please...”Zaden dropped to his knees
“I beg you...let her go...let my child and my love, live a peaceful life. Take me instead. She won't fight you as long as you have
me. She can't... ” his voice was low and breaking. His pack was taken back. The alpha has kneeled down to save his mate. They
exchanged looks between themselves, looking for another option but then, Orion kneeled down, next to his alpha. Followed by
Sitka, Xavier and Makeala. The whole room felt cold as no one dared to breath heavy. Selena just realized what she had put at
stake, the future of a whole pack. She calmed down. Maybe it is not a bad idea for one to take a hit for their whole pack.
A devilish smirk crept Ozrain's lip
“Now tell me Alpha Zaden, if I have my daughter and a future Samrat in her, why do I need you for?” Ozrain said and Zaden
regret his slip of tongue. He kept silent. With that, Ozrain turned around and grabbed Selena's hands, pulling her behind him.
Selena eye kept looking back at Zaden, at his vulnerable state. She forced herself to smile at him, a painful smile. She had given
up hopes and maybe this is for the best, a reset button much needed at the moment.
