DEDICATED TO MY HUSBAND MATT FOR BEING THERE TO GIVE ME A HUG WHEN THE NIGHTMARES WAKE ME UP

CHAPTER 12

DUEL AND A WEDDING

ANA POV

A/N: THERE IS COME VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT IN THIS SCENE

The maze as it turned out was actually a maze. It was at the east of the village. Wic and I stood at the center as Zak and Jar faced off. All the other guards were at home or with the kids at school since the council could protect us. I blinked as a council member stepped in between Zak and Jar to speak. 

"Attention everyone. Jar lath and Zakioitnas will now fight over their bond with Ana. The first challenge is intellect. Jar lath will begin by telling us what Ana's greatest fear is." I grabbed Wic's arm for support as I realized that Jar knew the answer. My mind flashed back to that night and my hand clenched on Wic's arm.

ANA

PAST

His hands were already slick with my blood when he strapped me to the table. His silver eyes glittered with mad delight as his voice slid underneath my skin.  

"Tell me what you fear the most Ana. Tell me about yourself." I bit into my cheek to keep back my angry retort as the knife slid lightly down my stomach. He paused before the knife sliced into my panty's and looked at me. 

"Death. I fear the people I love dying." A tear slid down my cheek as he cut the panties away and I shuddered as he set the knife aside and placed his hand on my abdomen. I shuddered as he leaned down and slid his tongue up to my navel. When he nipped at my belly button I lost it. I jerked my foot with all my strength ripping the strap as I kicked him on his ass. I screamed as he picked the knife up and cut into my abdomen. I watched the blood well up as he licked it up like an ice cream cone. I passed out to the feel of his tongue on skin licking at my blood.

............

"Wildfire!" I opened my eyes to see Zak looming over me. I felt dirt beneath me and realized I must have passed out. Shit. I glanced at Jar standing behind him as Zak helped me up. He smiled at me and I suppressed a shudder as I glared at him. I heard a rumbling growl as Zak's eyebrows raised and I realized it was me making that noise. I walked passed Zak to Jar and stopped inches from his smug ass face. I smiled widely as I spoke. 

"Do you remember my parting gift to you when I left Jar?" His sneer dropped and he shuddered as I continued. "Next time you won't be able to fix it. You know damn well how I feel about you and if I weren't so...Fuck it." I drew back and slammed my fist in his nose then kneed him in the nuts. Then I turned to the council member gesturing wildly as I spoke. 

"I understand your rules but I am going to make one thing very clear. If anything happens to Zak, my soul mate, then Jar will die by my hands and it will be slowly and painfully." Zak gripped my hand, stopping my gestures, as the council man's eyes widened and he shook his head in agreement. I turned and kissed Zak. Then pulled back to look at him. "I'm sorry but he had that coming baby." Zak smiled widely and I blinked. "You should smile like that more often."
