ASLAN’S POV
My heart sank when I saw Aurora leave. Did that mean Zarina had truly killed the baby? My heart beat like thunder as I moved to the front of the cage.
“Zizi, Don’t tell me you killed the baby… You just wanted to use her as leverage right…” I asked in a shaking voice.
“So what if I killed her… What do you care?”
My knees gave way and I fell to the ground. Tears rolled down my cheeks and a scream erupted from my soul. This had to be a lie… She couldn’t do this…
Tyson kneeled beside me and pulled me into a hug, “I am so sorry, Aslan. I… I am such a failure… I should have come up with something better…”
“No, Tyson you didn’t fail… I was the one who failed.”
Jumping to my feet I grasped the bars of the cage and roared, “I should have listened to Tyson. I should have let him kill you, Zarina. I believed that you could be saved. I was so wrong, Zizi… you are just like our mother; pure evil!”
Wincing, I removed my hands as the bars burned me.
