A Tale Of Revenge And Redemption

22

LYRA’S P.O.V.

“Quit picking your nose” I said while looking at Zayn who was literally having a war with his nose that I fear he might actually remove it

“Mum” I turned to look at him with worry creeping into me.

Zany barely calls me mum but when he does I know too well that something was wrong and the weird look on his face wasn’t so settling

“What happened?”

“I feel weak, like how I felt last year” I took in a sharp breathe knowing exactly what he was talking about

“We’ll be on the plane soon and you can get some sleep” he finally removed his hand from his nose but his legs were giving out and I dropped my bag to catch him before he fell “Zayn…” I called out while tapping his cheek but I got no response “… bring the car closer” I yelled out before picking him up and putting him in the car

“Is he alright?” the driver asked

“Yeah he just passes out sometimes out of exhaustion, you know how energetic he can be” but that was not the case in this matter

This was the fourth time in a roll he was weak on the day of the blood moon. He sleeps the entire day and at night instead of sleeping he watches the moon with full concentration

I knew werewolves were normally out of control and at their weakest during the blood moon but it was the first time seeing a child go through that, he was just five years old and yet it affected him so much, I mean his first shift was nowhere close so I am bound to worry

“I think it’s time to leave ma'am, sir Antonio is coming towards the car” I looked outside to see a very stressed out Antonio but I picked the water from the car’s carpet and sprinkle a bit on Zayn’s face before he jolt awake

“Mum?” his voice was weak and it did nothing but break my heart

“Let’s go to the plane then you can sleep as much as you can” he nods quietly and I opened the door before Antonio got the chance to do it

“I was so… is he alright?” he looked at Zayn with worried eyes but Zayn didn’t even spare him a glance

“He isn’t too well” I picked him up and handed Antonio my back

“Let me have him”

“Yeah about that he wouldn’t let anyone touch him” I showed him how Zayn had a tight grip on me and he let out a sigh

This was the only time Zayn literally wouldn’t let anyone touch him or he would cry the entire day and that is not something I like to deal with. Zayn was never much of a cry baby but if he actually cries it takes an entire community to get him to keep shut

We got on the plane after so much delay and he snuggled in his chair before falling asleep. I adjusted the sit to make him comfortable and Antonio gave me a worried expression

“Are you sure he will be alright?”

“Yeah, he will be asleep for most of the day but he will be fine. Now get comfortable because it’s going to be long flight home”

The thought of going back to Florida still did nothing but cause chills to go down my spine. It was just to build a new company but my mind wasn’t settled and couldn’t bring myself to stop thinking that something back is going to happen and I don’t know what it is

Alas I put my mind to rest and rested comfortably in my seat before letting the darkness consume me. After what seems to be hour I felt a hand tapping me and I turned to see Zayn looking at me with needy eyes
