SERENE SCARLET’S MOTHER POV.

Things were going from bad to worse. Ceros was getting stronger each day and the hold on him was loosening. He had managed to bring Sasha back to life. My daughter was in even more trouble than I anticipated.

SCARLET

I stirred in my sleep as I felt someone holding my hand,

I fluttered my eyes open only to stare into beautiful blue orbs. I smiled I could stare at them the whole day. But then everything that happened earlier started coming back to me as I panicked. Sasha is Skylar oh no I have to tell mom.

” What’s wrong..?” Zane asked looking at my panicked expression.

” Please leave..” I said to him. He gave me a questioning look followed by one of anger which was quickly masked by an emotionless feature.

” I want to speak to my mom..” I said in a panic as Zane looked at me.

” You don’t want me to be here?” he asked his voice and face devoid of any emotions.

Something was different about him. Did he?? no he couldn’t have found out I was pretty good at hiding my true identity.

He furiously let go of my hand then got up going outside as I looked on wondering why he got angry all of a sudden. Minutes later mom and Val walked it.

” Mom there is a problem..” I said in a panic as mom looked at me.

” Yes sweety I know–” before she could finish I cut her off.

” No mom you don’t understand Sasha, Sasha is Skylar..” Mom and Val looked at me wide-eyed.

” You mean the same Skylar you’ve been hanging out with?”

” Yes, mom the same one and you know what it was their plan. They knew everything about me and the fact that I like Zane that’s why they both hatched a plan for Jenna to throw herself at Zane..” I said. How can I have ever been so stupid I failed to recognize her.. dang it!

” Did you tell them?” Mom asked.

” No, but Sasha always knew Zane was mine and she probably told Jenna about it…”

” This could be a big problem Sasha is one of the people who know about your true form she knows Zane is your weakness we have to replace her before she tries anything else..” Val said pacing around the room.

” Yes, but how will we replace her if she was able to disguise herself as Skylar she could be anyone at this point..” I said exasperated. She was a witch who could shapeshift. What if she manages to get me this time. Mom has been hiding me ever since I was born she has been protecting me and making sure I am not exposed. It was easier for me since my scent was somehow like a human’s. If Sasha has been hiding and blending in for the past four months then I am pretty sure she has already hatched a plan to destroy me dang it!

“You have to tell Zane..” mom said concentrating her eyes and biting her lower l*p the way she did when she was thinking hard about something.

” WHAT!!?” I and Val said at the same time. I can’t tell Zane he doesn’t have to know.

” Yes, you have to tell him. Scarlet, you have done everything to keep him and win his heart. He needs to know who you truly are..” mom said in a final tone the way she always did when she was telling me something good for me. But I don’t think she is right this time. She has always guided me and it’s because of her that I have Zane now but I am not sure about this. What if he doesn’t accept me and rejects me??

” But what if he rejects me, mom..” I asked. The thought of Zane rejecting me was killing me I have loved him since I knew he existed I finally have him as mine I can’t lose him!

” What if he accepts you..” she retorted “Look he trusted you enough and told you his secret you need to trust him too and tell him yours otherwise your relationship will never grow if you both keep things from each other. It’s high time you stop hiding and reveal yourself, Scarlet. Maybe Zane might even stand by you and help. He is a hybrid after all plus you have always listened to me and everything that I ever told you what makes you think I am wrong this time? I know you were supposed to be kept secret until you were 16 but things have changed now Scarlet we can’t keep killing everyone who knows who you are and since Sasha was brought back by Ceros it only means that Ceros knows your identity and if he manages to break free he will come for you. Better tell Zane now so that there won’t be any surprises later..” Mom said and I sighed. What she was saying was totally making sense.

” You are right mom I will tell him..”

” That’s my girl and good luck whatever happens if he rejects or accepts you it won’t matter what will matter the most is that you’ve trusted him enough to share your secret…”

“Thanks, mom..” I said. She kissed my forehead and left the room. Time to reveal my true form.

ZANE

I was pacing around the hallway waiting for her mom and Val to come out of the room. I don’t know what they are discussing and why she seemed so panicked. This is frustrating. I have tried to eavesdrop but it’s not helping at all. Why did they come up with the idea of making the walls soundproof dang it!

I wish she could just tell me whatever secret she is hiding so that I don’t have to stress myself over thinking about it…

” What’s wrong with you Zane!?..” mom asked looking at me like I was crazy. I had told her about Scarlet been fine and awake. I am pretty sure she was wondering why I was pacing back and forth while Scarlet was okay.

” I don’t know mom but Scarlet is hiding something from me..” I said through the link. I didn’t want Val or her mom to hear me. I don’t know what they are they might have super hearing or something.

” What are you talking about.?” dad decided to chirp in.

” She has been acting strange and I don’t think she is human..”

” How so..?” dad asked.

” For starters, I saw her get hurt, she was bleeding a lot. I had tried to use my powers on her but it didn’t work out. I thought she wasn’t going to make it. If it were some human they would be unconscious right now and would probably be needing a b***d transfusion but her, She is all better, not even a single scar dad..”

” Do you think she is a vampire or a witch maybe??” he asked but before I could say anything, her mom and Val came out of the room looking as pale as ever. I was looking at them intently checking to see if there was any sign that could tell me whether they are vampires. But non plus I could smell a witch or vampire a mile away and they smelled like humans well except Val who got turned into a werewolf recently. Scarlet’s mom looked at me and gave me a small smile.

” Zane, Scarlet wants to talk to you..” her mom said. What does she want to say to me? I nodded my head and was about to go but she stopped me.

“Whatever she is going to say please keep an open mind hmm and always know that she loves you..” She kissed my forehead and then let me go. I took a deep breath opening the door. Scarlet was sitting up on the bed she also looked pale and nervous. Whatever they were discussing must have been a big issue for them to look this pale.

“Hi..” she nervously said playing with the quilt that was covering her. I have never seen her this nervous before. I got closer sitting on the chair I was sitting on earlier.

I didn’t say anything I was just looking at her waiting for her to tell me what she wants to say. She took a deep breath then released it looking into my eyes as I looked into her beautiful silver ones that were captivating me. I wanted to get closer and k**s her or claim her as mine. Dang it why are my hormones so out of control.!!

” you can’t deny she is hot and smells so good..” Juan purred and I scoffed. Of course, I can’t deny she is attractive but now is not the time.

“I uh I want to tell you something..” she said. I couldn’t focus I wanted to just mark her. I don’t know why I was feeling like this and why she has suddenly become irresistible.

” Zane hello are you listening..?” She asked snapping her fingers. I didn’t say anything I just nodded.

” Whatever I am going to tell you, you have to promise to never tell anyone..”

“Okay.?” I said unsure.

” No please Zane you have to say you promise..” she held my hand looking at me closely.

” Okay, I promise..” I said but I’m not sure I was going to keep this promise.
