Chapter 253: BURNING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
It had been a week since Dawn returned to the north, leaving the capital city.
The enemy had gone, their wolf spirit had gone, the ability for the shifter to shift into their beast had gone and... Zenith had gone too, but life went on.
It was suck.
Zaya watched how Zander literally threw himself to the piles of work. He worked in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, even during the night...
He appeared unaffected by Zenith’s demise, but Zaya knew this was how he coped up with Zenith’s death. After all, they had been very close. They only had each other for a very long time.
They schemed against their enemy together, created plots after plots and fought alongside each other. There must be a lot of moments when they only had each other. Looked out for each other’s back.
Zander lost his brother, his twin, his confidante...
Zaya felt selfish if she wanted Zander’s attention. She knew that Zander was struggling with his grief, but Zenith was also her brother too. She felt sad and wanted Zander’s comfort, but she didn’t dare to disturb him.
She felt like the bond that Zander and Zenith’s share was something that she would never get, since she had been away from the kingdom for years and she was not there for them during their difficult time.
Zander also made a point not to talk about Zenith. The conversation about his death had never been brought up and this killed Zaya because she couldn’t talk about this to anyone.
She couldn’t talk about it with Celine too, because even though she showed sympathy for her, the healer would never understand...
