Stranger Emotion

"You're pathetic," Seren spat, "how could you—how dare you treat me like that? I loved you—I fucking loved you!"

Zavien just gazed at her. He watched in agony as she fell to pieces in front of his face.

He remained silent, he couldn't speak or else she would be shot down on the spot, then God knows what would happen next. His duty was to protect her, to keep her from awakening her dormant hybrid abilities. Zade had no idea what she was capable of, Zavien wanted to make sure no one ever knew.

He had seen them on several occasions behind closed doors and between the sheets, or more so, on top of them.

She was dangerous.

Just like her father said.

"Don't just stand there!" She yelled at him. "Say something! Anything!"

He clenched his jaw.

"Don't get yourself hurt, Princess," he said and turned his back on her, "this is goodbye."

He could hear her heart shattering inside of her chest. She collapsed to the floor in a fit of sobs and he left.

"Have faith in me, Seren...please."
