Chapter Thirty-Three
A Goodbye and a Shocking Truth
Zara's POV
The room was so silent I could hear my own heartbeat.
Hunter stood still, his fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tight with tension.
Then Cassandra's voice shattered the silence.
"How dare you lay a hand on my mate?" she hissed, stepping closer. Her eyes burned with rage, her entire body trembling with anger. " Are you wishing for death?"
I looked at her as my anger rose, I was done with her. With all of them.
I met her glare with a calmness that only fueled her rage. "Warn your mate to stay away from me," I said, my voice cold. "Next time, I won't stop at just a slap. It will be worse."
Lior chuckled beside her, rubbing his jaw where my palm had connected. "Feisty," he mused.
A sharp, mocking laugh rang through the room.
Selene.
She folded her arms, amusement flickering in her gaze.
