Sacred Ties

Chapter Twenty-Four

Zach's POV

"What is it that you want? I know seeking Shane is just a way of wanting attention from me. You have it all now, so tell me what is it." I murmured and ran a hand through my short hair.

I was tired and I didn't have it in me to be on a shouting episode with Scar. I contacted her when I heard she had went to Shane's school. I wanted to put an end to her unwelcome visits and the only way was to talk to her. I had been busy in the past days and I couldn't find time to meet with her. A lot had been going on and I had to deal with very important things than her, first.

I had been training Lane as much as the time allowed. I didn't teach him combat because he would be staying with the hybrids, guarding Cemil. His main reason was to give me information about the hybrids and to keep an eye on Cemil for me. As much as I hated Jonathan, for taking my dearest away from me, I knew the guy would take good care of Cemil, on security. As far as the heart was concerned, I was the better one than him.

"Can I be honest with you Zach?"

"Yes please." I replied and looked at her with curiosity on what this honest could be.

"I understand that I've lost my right as a mother to Shane and no matter how I'll try, I'll never make him recognize me as a mother." She paused and stood up from her sit. She paced in my office and I kept quiet and watched her silently.

"I'm not here for him," she continued. "I'm here for you Zach. I don't know what exactly it is but I have a feeling deep inside of me that tells me to stay by your side now. I tried to ignore this feeling but it keeps on growing inside of me that I couldn't stay away like I had planned long ago."

I sighed and shook my head. I couldn't believe what she was saying and this whole stupid reason of hers, made me sleepy as much. I haven't had much sleep due to the nightmares that I've been having lately. The dreams have turned to something else and every time I close my eyes and dream, it's like I'm in another place. The confusion of it all was messing up my head really badly and Scar here wasn't helping a bit. Addition to it all, I had to train Lane and make him my spy. So I had little time to sleep, though I ended up not sleeping at all, and the other time was divided on my work as well as my training sessions with Lane. I was glad he was finally sent to Cemil and off my hands for sometime. Relaxing and getting some sleep was what I wanted the most at the moment.

"Scar-"

"No Zach. Before you say anything I would like to ask you something." She stops and at my nod continues. "Have you ever felt that you have lived in another life before? Like the feeling that you know someone a lot more than how it is."

I blinked at her as her words registered clearly in my head. What was she talking about?

We both stayed silent and looked at each other. There were times that I saw Scar in my dreams. I didn't know what to make of it so I ignored it. What she had just said made a bit sense but I wasn't going to entertain her on that hilarious feeling of her.

"No. I've never felt like that." I told her and she sighed, sitting back down.

"Okay I get it. But I'm not crazy Zach. So my request is if I can see you three times a week. I promise I won't cause you any drama and will never seek out Shane. We can breakfast together or lunch. Anything is fine with me." She said and I shook my head.

"I don't have time for your petty dates Scar. Unlike you, I have a lot of things to look after and take care of. So don't make my life harder than it already is." I stated and she sighed and looked at me with determination eyes.

"You and I both know that my request is a lot better than what I could offer. I being nice here and you want to take advantage of it. It's either the dates or else I'll just be some trouble to add in your hectic life. Choose wisely Zachary."
