Free ZAK SEAL Team Seven Book 3 by Jordan Silver

anything in the world, not if it meant not having my Connor. It was strange that only a few short months ago I was the only female in this sea of testosterone and now I had three new sisters to help me deal.
    I was actually pretty excited for all of us, even with the danger that played on the outskirts of our lives. Because I knew, that if these women found with the others what I had with Connor, what we were building here was going to be spectacular.

Chapter 7
     
    ZAK
     
    It felt like she’d been hiding from me all day. Every time I came within breathing distance she found somewhere else to be. I was getting pretty fucking tired of that shit and was looking for her to set her ass straight when I came up on her and Logan in some sort of secret meet, they were standing way too fucking close.
    I stopped short and took it in, willing myself not to go off kilter, which is usually my first response. There was a strange vehicle parked just inside the gate, which I totally ignored because the scene looked all fucking wrong to me. Cool it Zak; fuck that.
    “What the fuck are you doing?” I started moving again with purpose. Now rationally, I knew there was nothing going on. I knew that Lo would never poach on my shit, and since she didn’t have a death wish she wouldn’t play me false. But irrationally, I didn’t like anyone that fucking close to her and they all knew it. So far everyone had respected my boundaries, but with the way she’d been acting and now this, it was a bit much.
    They both turned and looked at me and I knew something was wrong. Lo started to walk towards me with a look on his face, and then he sent out the call for the others. It was this special whistle we all used when one of us needed the whole team on some shit. It was rare as fuck to hear it here though.
    “What the fuck Lo, what’s going on?” I looked at her, at the fear on her face and nothing was computing. I started to go to her but he got in my way and shit started going haywire in my chest. From their body language I knew some fuck was wrong, but I had no idea what. She wasn’t bleeding, didn’t look hurt, she didn’t look anything but fuck scared.
    Then I saw movement, like something was on her chest or some shit. What did she have there a pet? Swear to fuck I thought she had a pet monkey clinging to her. I started to turn back to Lo to ask him what the fuck, but she turned completely around to face me. It was a baby. She had a baby? I felt something inside me twist painfully and a roaring started in my head. She had a fucking kid with someone else? My life dimmed in and out and I went hot and cold before nausea set in. I could hear Lo speaking but couldn’t make out the words. She fucking lied to me; that’s the only thought I could hold onto at the moment.
    When I could feel again, I moved towards her, to do what I don’t know; all I knew was the rage the beat in my chest. I’d never laid hands on a woman before in my life, but in that moment I knew I could kill her.
    There was blood in my eyes as I went for her, but then the kid picked its head up and looked dead at me. It was like getting hit in the chest with a brick. My world did a three sixty and my knees almost went out from under me. I looked from her and back at the kid who was staring at me, and back again.
    “Who the fuck is that?” I pointed my finger at her accusingly. I knew who it was with just one look, but I couldn’t quite bring myself to accept. I was looking into a replica of my face; only this one was attached to a mini female. I looked back at Vanessa in shock and disbelief. “You unconscionable bitch.” Now I know I was gonna fucking kill her.
    “Zak no.” I heard Devon scream my name, heard running feet, but I didn’t hear much else until hands were pulling at me. I struggled against them as they all rushed me. My world was all confusion in that moment. I couldn’t see, hear, nor think.
    My heart rate exceeded the norm and I went into shutdown.
