VALERIE
Zade and | are filling Atticus in on everything we have experienced and we're up to the part where Zade
managed to get the chip out ofand the Arkan entering.
and he was injured himself. If he hadn’t removed my chip at that moment, I'd have been dead. These chips are
being used against us. We're being hunted and these chips are what guide these killers to our locations.”
Atticus is frowning deeply. The food in front of us is barely touched as we relive and talk about those dark
moments again.
And how did you get injured?” Atticus asks Zade.
“A couple days back | was... bored. So | went to find them and managed to track at few down, but they're
powerful as if they've had professional training and well they used poison against me. They know our
weaknesses, and have far more information than they ever should have been able to acquire.”
So that’s how he got injured...
My heart squeezes with fear. “You can’t go facing danger like that,” | say, trying not to think of what could have
happened. | know it’s my fault. Why else would have done something so reckless? It’s his way of venting.

That's something I'll be talking to him about later. | don’t want to lose him. Ever.
| place my hand on his thigh, making him glance at me, once again making my heart skip a beat under his gaze.
This man’s going to givea heart attack with the effect he has on it.
“And why have neither of you told anyone, especially you Valerie? You could have told Zaia, or me.”
Well, things were a little crazy, but | know Zaia’s been worried and things have been hard already. Zade did say |
needed to.” | admit.
He sighs. “This is far more serious. It just proves those chips can be hacked by anyone.”
“That, and/or maybe shigher officials are in on it. You and your people need to make sure the chipping
system is abolished and that the deal to identify oneself is removed as compulsory in companies, stores and any
other public setting. You are all setting up this world for ruin. For our kinds ruin.” Zade says.
His words are blunt and to the point, but there's a heavy truth in them, one that hangs between us.
“I'm calling for a meeting,” Atticus says, taking his phone out. “We need to speak there. | know you have not
been as active Valerie, but as a member of the Subline, your words will hold power. | would just suggest maybe
keep the fact you two are together on the down low.”
“No,” | say instantly. “If who I'm with is an issue to the council, then that’s their problem. Besides, Zade IS my
fated mate, chosen forby the goddess herself. Who are we to argue against that?”
Zade glances atand although he doesn’t react, the expression on his face almost says but you did, although
| know that’s just my own mind. I still feel guilty.
“I don’t think ‘us’ is anyone's problem and what? Do you really wantto attend this so-called meeting?” Zade
asks, cocking a brow.
Atticus frowns. “Yes, | do. Because you have faced them.”
“And why would anyone believe me?” Zade asks.
“They will. I've dropped a message to Zaia. She will sort something out.”
“Do you guys like just leave everything up to her to decide? This entire situation. was her decision, wasn't it?”
Zade asks.
Atticus frowns.
“It's not Zaia's fault. She had a lot to do, and that was a decision that we all felt was right. We needed to
remember what had happened so we didn’t make the smistake.” | say. “Besides, look at it now. We're
working together to do what we need to together.”
“You might not like Zaia, but Valerie and she are the best of friends. You might want to remember that.” Atticus
says with a cocky grin.

do it all? How much do you expect one. person to handle?” he shrugs, downing his glass of Coca-Cola before

He has a point... it is all on her shoulders...
“Then we cto today. | went to her place in the morning and realised they'd been in her things, so | packed

“You stayed the entire night at his place?” Atticus cuts in, now turning to me. “Yes, we're dating, Atticus?
Remember?” Goddess! Are all brothers so weird? “I'm getting a little tired of your constant high-school
reactions. Wantto finish or shall | stop?” Zade asks, his eyes now flashing blue.
“Continue.” Atticus growls.
