ZARA
Zara watched Kai disappear into the darkness like he was running from fire.
She knew that look. Had seen it before on wolves who'd lost everything. The kind of desperation that made you dangerous to yourself more than anyone else. But this was different. This wasn't the broken rogue who'd found her five years ago and offered her sanctuary in the Dead Lands. This was someone falling and pretending he still had control.
All because of one small omega girl.
Zara shook her head and turned from the courtyard. She knew exactly where he'd go. The armory was his thinking place. The one room where he could be surrounded by weapons and pretend that was about preparation instead of pain.
