I stared longer at him than expected, I thought he'd laugh and call it a joke but Zion did nothing of that. He gauged my reaction and I guess he expected me to react like this.

" No! This isn't true. How can this be possible? Never. I won't believe you" I was utterly shocked.

He exhaled " I know it's hard to believe but this is true. Your dad is Hale and hearty. He kidnapped your mom"

I dragged my weak leg to the couch before I fell. I sat down deep in my world " But she told me he was dead" I said to myself.

In an instant, Zion was bent to my level. He held my hand in his and said "She has her reason for hiding it I guess. You can't blame her over something only she knows "

I felt betrayed. I've been living a life of lies. Ok maybe not entirely but why would mom lie to me? She fucking lied to me into believing that my dad was dead. She knew how I'd crave his presence. While I was at school I was bullied multiple times all because my father never came to any of my shows. I felt stupid believing her.

I need answers and I need to get them now. I got up in an instant ready to walk to the door but Zion stopped me. I sat back on the couch.

" Where do you think you're going to?" He asked.

My eyes were filled with unshed tears" To look for an answer. I need answers to all of this Zion. I need it now please "

He held my face in his hand " You need to calm down. I understand how you feel but you can't just do things without thinking. We'll get to the bottom of this "

The threatening tears fell down my face. I couldn't hold it any longer so I allowed them " It hurts to know that my mother lied to me. Whatever the reason maybe she should have told me. I have all the right to know for crying out loud"

Zion allowed me to vent out my mind. He rubbed my back slightly and sat down beside me " You shouldn't blame your mom yet. I'd advise you to hear her side of the story before you judge her. "

I was angry "No matter what he might have done, he's still my father. He fucking gave birth to me! We share the same blood"

He tried holding me but I slapped his hand away. The anger inside of me was building up beyond explanation. I'm sure my eyes are so red right now.

" calm the fuck down Ella. You don't need this. We need to think about how to find your mom before we start blaming her. Your father isn't what you think of him to be. He is far more dangerous. You can't imagine how dangerous he is"

It doesn't matter " Who cares? He is still my father"

I could see Zion getting annoyed with my behavior but who cares. He should let me go, I need to go and look for the truth myself. I need nobody's help here.

I was seeing red. This behavior of mine surprised me too. I feel some kind of hotness inside of me. It was unbearable and right now the only release I have is to hit something or someone. What the hell is happening to me?

I got up, this time around Zion didn't bother to hold me back. Just when I was about to walk to the door, my legs felt jelly and I found myself falling in a heap. The last thing I heard was Zion's loud voice yelling my name.

***

I heard noises around me. I tried opening my eyes but groaned at the headache I was feeling. The voice got louder this time. Giving attention to what they were saying, I realized they were shouting my name. I tried all possible best to open my eyes.

This time around I succeeded, the flashlight welcomed me. I needed to close my eyes to adjust to the light. Whoever was holding the light switched it on and I was surprised to see pairs of eyes staring at me with worry.

I tried saying something but my voice felt hoarse. Stella was on my side instantly. She handed me a glass cup of water. If it wasn't because I needed it, I wouldn't have accepted it from her. Since my kidnapping, this was the first time I had seen her. What a friend she is.

I guess she saw the distasted look in my eyes so she moved one side. Zion wore a look of relief but didn't come forward. I guess he was so worried about me. I felt some kind of Joy knowing that.

Alex smirked "Oh princess, don't give us a scare like that ever again. We thought something happened to you"

I felt embarrassed. I've never fainted just like that before but this seems so surprising to me. The feeling I had inside of me before they happened made me feel as if I was burning inside. This was a different burning. It felt as if I was about to release something in me but I don't understand.

" For how long was I out ?" I asked as I sat upright.

" You've been out for almost  48 hours now " Zion answered this time around but still didn't come closer. I expected him to be by my side but why was he far from me?

" You've got to be kidding me. What the hell happened to me ?" I almost yelled

They all looked at each other but didn't say anything. I find it suspicious. Something is wrong and they don't want to let me know.

" You fainted because you were in shock," Zion said, " I think I'll take my leave now . I've pending matters I need to take care of " he left not without kissing me or at least a sign of care. Did I do something wrong?

Alex noticed my sad face he also stared at the door where Zion went through. " Oh please don't look sad. I'm sure something important came up"

I'm not a small child to believe that. No matter what urgent work he has, he shouldn't have behaved like that toward me. I'm his mate for goodness sake. He is making me feel as if he doesn't want to be with me anymore.

If that is the case then he should allow me to leave then. I'm sick and tired of his games. I need him to let me leave so he can have all the time to tend to all his important matters.

I snorted " Sure yes"

Alex knew so well that I wouldn't believe that so he rubbed his neck and then said "Erm, I'll be back soon" he left too.

What a clown.
