Chapter 20 – Zachary – Busted Volume 4 

*~*Zachary's POV*~*

After Saylor and I were dressed and ready for the day, we headed back to the castle. I was hoping that, as of yet, my absence had gone unnoticed. I doubted anyone would be angry at me for staying at my mate's house, but of course, I didn't know this for certain. Given that I disappeared for an entire night and have as of yet to turn my phone on for the day, I had no idea of knowing what happened after the party.

OK, I might be avoiding the topic as long as I could. Yes, it was cowardly, and I knew it was wrong. However, I just didn't want to have anyone yelling at me. As much as I like to pretend to be independent, self-sufficient, and in charge of my own life, I knew I wasn't any of those things. I just turned eighteen for crying out loud. I'm a day away from having been a kid, and sometimes, I knew I still acted like one. This present situation being one of them.
