Chapter 18
Kiara groaned slightly as she opened her eyes. She glanced and noticed she was laying down on her bed.
She tried to sit up and Immediately winced.
“Be careful, your injury hasn’t healed” She turned to the voice and her eyes Widened when she saw Zane.
“Zane? What are you doing here?” He sighed then moved closer to her and laid her back on the bed.
“Don’t move, okay?” She frowned then her eyes suddenly turned cold. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“I asked why you’re here. What are you doing in my house?” She questioned through clenched teeth. Before Zane could reply, Heather burst open the door then ran towards Kiara with tears in her eyes.
“Oh Kiara, I should have never let you out on your own. I’m such a bad friend” Kiara shook her head as she patted Heather’s back.
“Don’t say that. This could have happened anytime so don’t blame yourself. Even if you came with me, you and I would have been shot. Do you want that?” Heather nodded then lifted up her head from Kiara’s chest.
“At least that way, I’ll know we are both in pain. I don’t like seeing you like this” Kiara giggled then flicked Heather’s forehead.
“Ow!” Heather winced then pouted.
‘Will you stop being unreasonable? Besides, I’m fine aren’t I?” Heather shook her head.
“If Zane and Daniel hadn’t shown up, you would have died’ Kiara turned towards Zane and Daniel then sighed.
‘Thank you for saving me but you both can leave now, I’m okay” Zane shook his head with a stern look on his face.
“You’re not fully healed and I’m not leaving till I see that wound close up” Kiara frowned.
“So what if it doesn’t heal now or it heals in two weeks, so you plan on staying here till then?” Zane nodded.
“If that’s how it turns out then yes” Kiara shook her head.
“I refuse to be in the same space with you. Thank you for saving me but I’ll heal without you being beside me so leave” Zane stared at for a while then sighed.
“As your mate, if I’m close to you, you’ll heal quicker” Kiara scoffed then let out a laugh.
“My mate? You seem to be forgetting the past, Zane but don’t worry, I’ll remind you. You rejected me and threw me out of your pack like a Piece of trash, do you remember because I can’t seem to forget that day and Everytime I see your face, I’m reminded of that time and I’m physically and emotionally tired so please, please leave” Zane raised his chin with a stubborn look on his face.
“When you’re healed, I’ll leave so stop being stubborn, Kiara” She stared at him for a while then sighed before throwing the covers off her body and trying to stand up but Zane and Heather held her down.
“What do you think you’re doing? I said your wound hasn’t healed yet” Zane scolded.
“If you don’t want to leave then I’ll leave so let me go” Zane sighed.
“I’ll leave the room but I’m not leaving this apartment till you are better and that is final” She glared at him.
‘Why are you suddenly acting like you care? You threw me out of the pack even when I was pregnant and now, all of a sudden you want to act like you care? You don’t! So leave me alone! You don’t know what I’ve been through, Zane, I’ve been through much more pain and I’ve healed from them without you so your presence isn’t needed” Heather bit her lip to stop herself from crying. The tone in Kiara’s voice reminded her of the time she found Kiara on the ground with her wrist slit with a silver knife.
That day had been the worst day for her because Kiara had been so lost and broken because of him and she had let him into their apartment? How could she do that to her best friend? i
“Both of you have to leave,” Heather muttered as she stood up straight. Zane turned to her with furrowed eyebrows.
‘What?”
“If anything happens to her, I’ll let you both know but for now, you both have to leave. You’re stressing her out and that’s not good” Zane frowned.
“I said I’m not….”
“Zane, let’s just go” Daniel quickly interjected as he grabbed onto Zane’s arm.
With the way Kiara and Heather were reacting, he felt like there was something more to it and maybe Zane really needed to give Kiara space.
“No, she’s not better yet. I’ll just stay till she heals and….”
“Zane, she’s going to be okay and you know that. You’re stressing her out and that’s not going to do her any good so let’s just go” Zane scowled then let out a sigh before turning to Kiara who still had a frown on her face.
“If I don’t hear that your wound has closed up by today, I’ll be here tomorrow and nothing is going to make me leave, not even your stubbornness” Zane muttered then turned around and walked away.
As soon as he was gone, Kiara let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
“I’m sorry. I was just so worried about you that I totally forgot about your situation with him but I swear, I’ll never let him in again” Kiara sighed.
“It’s not your fault. Can you leave, I would really like to rest for now” Heather frowned but nevertheless, nodded and walked out of the room.
She knew Kiara just needed to be on her own for now and she was willing to give her that space.
As they walked towards Zane’s car, Daniel could see that Zane was fuming.
“Could you stop? You look like a raging bull and everyone keeps staring at us weirdly” Daniel muttered as they stood beside the car.
“Why is she so stubborn? Why is she the one that gets to shout? This is what I get for being caring?” Zane grumbled then ran his fingers through his hair out of frustration.
“Don’t you find it strange?” Zane slowly turned to him.
“Find what strange?” “That ever since we saw Kiara, we have not once seen her child. Even just now, he wasn’t in their apartment and I didn’t see any child belongings around the house. Isn’t that strange?”…
