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.
