The Face Of Nightmares (Ch.170)

Zariah did know when and how it had all become complicated, it was right when she took that one blind leap that had sent both her and her pack to their deaths.

Was it even a surprise that her heart no longer cared to take a leap of faith or to indulge in it's own desires?

"You do want King Askel as your mate, don't you? Unless you plan to reject him then..." Kristen trailed off, it was obvious he found it hard to even contemplate the option.

'Did she want Askel as mate?' Zariah thought to herself.

It was a question she had always known the answer to, even though the darkness of her past kept her from recognizing it.

The reality was that Zariah did want Askel as her mate, she could not imagine herself with anyone else and now, she could not even imagine a life without him.

How it had gone so far so quickly, Zariah also did not know, but if she could deceive everyone else, at least it was time Zariah stopped lying to herself.
