Deal Or No Deal?

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

We are back in the penthouse and Zayn and I are arguing loudly about Ashton. I am not just going sit around and let Ashton be thrown in jail for helping me save those girls, and most of all, being there for me when I was so confused and afraid about my wolf.

I had no clue as to what I was going through, and although Zayn prides himself on knowing almost everything there is to know about werewolves, it’s just not the same. He’s not one of us!

He could not help me understand the fear and confusion I was feeling, because he has not experienced it. Ashton on the other hand has lived it. He endured shifting for the first time, and so much more.

“I have done enough, Lara!” Zayn shouts back at me as he walks away. He is heading toward the large windows, but I follow him. “I even got him house arrest instead of being placed behind bars!”

I hear Ashton scoff, he lay on the couch here in the living room. “This gotta be a joke or something because I’m not staying,” He says, and then chuckles l

    Zayn lets out a small laugh, followed by a scoff as he approaches us. Ashton tries to keep his hold on me but I wiggle out of his grip. “Zayn…” I begin but he stops me from going any further.“Ashton, Bunny would be waiting down in the lobby to escort you out of my city. I talked to her on the phone already, and I also made a call to the police, and things are officially cleared up for you,” He explains formally. “Wow, I don’t know what to say…” Ashton chuckles after he replies to Zayn.“Nothing. You don’t have to say anything. Just leave.”Ashton glances at me and mouths, “Thank you.” before heading out of the penthouse, leaving me with the Demon King. As soon as the door closes, the silence in the room becomes so loud that it’s deafening. It’s clear that I need to talk to Zayn. He literally told me that he has feelings for me, so seeing me that way with Ashton was not flattering in the least.I watch him as he walks towards the couch and sits down. He folds his arms on his chest a

  • A Forbidden Bond   Big News

    It has been three days since Ashton left the city. He has not contacted me and for some reason, I’m a bit worried about him. He stayed here in Demon Territory longer than his father expected, so is he being punished?I don’t think so because even though he is the son of the Lycan, he is also the Alpha of our pack. His father is bound to show him respect. But that still does not stop me from worrying. When I think of it, Ashton and Zayn are not that different. Zayn is the youngest ruler in the history of his people, and Ashton is the youngest Alpha in the history of our people. Zayn is very passionate and protective about his people, and Ashton is too.Both of them are well-known public figures, with very high positions, and they have fallen for a simple, and ordinary girl like me: an omega. They share so much in common, including their hate for each other.I just wish I would stop stringing both of them along and just choose one of them already!“Hey, what are thinking about?” Bunny

  • A Forbidden Bond   I Choose You

    This is a lot to take in. I focus on my breathing as I try to find the right words to say in response, but I just can not. Bunny is staring at me as she holds some broccolis in her hand, she looks intrigued; dying to know what Ashton just told me.“Uh, um–this is…” I struggle to speak about how I feel. How am I supposed to do that when I don’t even understand what I’m feeling now?“Lara, I am not asking you to make a decision right now. I’m just informing you of what I am faced against. All you have to do is think about it or say yes, that you would give me a chance and I would come and get you right now.” Ashton explains.“I don’t want your sister, I want you. I want to wake up next to you, I want to rule the Blue River pack with you,” He adds, and I exhale loudly.This means that I don’t have time on my side again. I have to make a decision. I have to pick between the two guys that I have fallen for. If I choose Ashton, then I would be really ungrateful to Zayn. He led me on the pa

  • A Forbidden Bond   Wedding Bells

    It has been a week since I made one of the biggest decisions in my life, and no it’s not picking which college to go to, or saying yes to a marriage proposal. I finally made a choice concerning the two men in my life.The two men that I fell for. The ones that have been declaring their intentions for me for weeks now. Choosing Zayn, I feel a small sting that I let Ashton go, but I know deep in my heart that it was for the best. I could not just dash Zayn away and choose Ashton. That would be been ungrateful, selfish, and just plain bad. If I had chosen Ashton, my sister would have been thrown into a world of hurt because she would have had to face the same pain of rejection that I once faced.Zayn would have been beyond hurt and gone back to his whole life revolving around vengeance and hatred for my people. In my short time of being in Demon Territory, I have at least helped the Demon people to see that not all werewolves are the same.I don’t regret my decision about Ashton. In fac

  • A Forbidden Bond   Running Back To You

    My breathing is heavy and my mind is all over the place as I overthink. I am wearing the dress that Bunny and I got when she took me shopping yesterday. Staring at my reflection as I stand in front of the full-length mirror, I realize that I have not been this dressed since the night of Ashton’s birthday party.I wanted to hold my hair up but decided just to let it fall to my shoulders. The dress hugs my body gracefully and my lips are painted with a light layer of pink lipstick. The dress is sleeveless so I decide to throw a small jacket over it; which does not kill the look.A knock sounds at my door and I take in a deep breath before letting it out slowly. Am I really ready for this? For seeing Ashton again after I dashed his hopes to the ground by choosing Zayn over him?I won’t lie to myself, I still have feelings for Ashton, but they are fading, and that is something I am grateful for. I guess not talking to him for the past week and pretending that he didn’t exist was like ther

  • A Forbidden Bond   Playing A Dangerous Game

    Looking at Ashton right now, I can feel emotions swirling in me. He knows very well what he’s doing. He’s looking at me the same way he did when we kissed for the first time at the penthouse. This is his wedding, he can not be doing this. “Lara!” I hear a familiar voice and I look behind me to see Zoe walking in our direction. She looks amazing but she is not in her wedding dress yet even though Ashton is already dressed. But her hair and make-up are already done.“I’m so glad that you could make it,” She says to me as she pulls me in for a hug. I hug her back and I smile warmly. I have missed her dearly and it feels really good to see her again.“What do you mean? I wouldn’t miss this wedding for the world!” I reply to her when we break the hug, and she laughs happily. She is literally glowing and looks so good. Ashton excuses himself as he walks to the other side of the room to a small group of people, giving us the privacy that we need.“We all thought that you might not show be

    What is Ashton doing? He really can not be saying these things to me. This was one of the reasons I stayed away from him when I broke it off with him. I knew he was not going to give up; that he’d keep trying. I really thought the week apart would do some good but that is clearly not the case. Today is literally the day that he is to get married to my sister and he has brought me into a room and has me alone with him. I should not even be in here.“Ashton, I’m sorry but I have to leave.” “Leave? You’re not going to stay for the wedding?” He asked me, and I sighed loudly.“I didn’t say that. I’m not leaving the wedding, but I am definitely leaving this room,” I told him confidently as I began to walk toward the exit but he held me. “Please, Lara. I’m pouring my heart to you and you don't even want to give me a chance.”“We are way past this, Ashton! I chose Zayn, not you!” I raised my voice and a look of hurt crossed his face. “Please don’t ruin today for Zoe, I beg you. Please…”“

    Looking at Zoe as I recover from the slap breaks my heart. She has never hit me before, so her doing that now has my mind spinning. “Zoe,” I say her name and my voice breaks.“Lara, you freaking have Zayn! Why can’t you just let me have Ashton?!”“I’m not holding up Ashton. He’s the one that keeps chasing me,” I argue as I breathe heavily. I can feel the adrenaline running through my veins. “But you’re not running, are you? You’re not running, you’re letting him catch you each and every time because you like this game. You like having the attention of two powerful guys.” Zoe was no longer sobbing but tears were still falling from her eyes.“I’m sorry,” I give up. There is no use in arguing with her when even I don’t understand my feelings. I am so freaking conflicted about all this. I am starting to wish that I had never gone to that party with Tessa. If I had not gone then I wouldn’t have met Ashton. And it is most likely that if I had not met Ashton, I wouldn’t have met Zayn. It’s

    “Come on, guys. You have Lara and me out here waiting like kids waiting to open up gifts on Christmas morning!” Zayn exclaimed, causing everyone to laugh. The door suddenly opened by itself and my eyes widened mildly. “Did that door just open by itself?” I took a step back, and Ashton and Zoe were amused by my reaction. The door opened wider and a golden retriever jumped out of the car, almost giving me a heart attack. “Gosh!” I exclaimed as I held Zayn’s arm tightly. “I’m not going to lie, I was a bit startled when that dog came out.” Zayn laughed lightly. “So that’s the surprise, huh? A doggie.” Zayn bend down and played with the dog. I had a small fear of dogs. One bit me when I was a kid and since then I have been terrified of them. No matter how cute and cuddly they were, I stayed my distance away from them. The golden retriever kept licking and jumping on Zayn like it had known him for years. “The doggie is a surprise but not for you guys, he’s for the kids.” Ashton

    It was Christmas day, the 25th of December. Werewolves were howling in celebration even though it was the sun that was up. Carols were being played and families were together. The air was warm, the sky was crystal blue, and the day was perfect. Where did the Werewolf Territory take the concept of Christmas when we believed in the Moon goddess? We adopted it thousands of years ago when humans once lived amongst us. They celebrated our holidays and so we did the same, as a show of respect. That was when the word Christmas entered the vocabulary of the Werewolf Territory. And since then, we have celebrated the day and passed on the tradition from generation to generation. The Christmas tree in the living room was lit up and gifts were scattered under it. All the kids were up and sat eagerly next to their presents, waiting for us to give them the go-ahead to start opening up them. The air was filled with anticipation and joy. A hot cup of chocolate sat in my hand and Zayn was drinki

    My claws immediately sprang forth from underneath my fingernails, and a growl escaped my mouth. “What the hell are you doing here? You should be in prison.” I was on the verge of wolfing out. It was not like I felt threatened by Jacob, but I did not like the fact that he was in our mansion without us even knowing. The kids were literally right across the hall from there. “Please. Please calm down and let me explain,” He begged. He placed the box of chocolate on the kitchen island and took a step toward us.“Not another step, buddy. I won’t hesitate to rip you to pieces.” Zayn threatened him, and he gulped as he nodded. My wolf had not gotten any real action for a while and it was yearning for some. I usually trained in the training room with Zoe and the others almost every Saturday though my wolf wanted more. “Start explaining.” I breathed out a short sigh as I continued to keep my wolf at bay.“Okay. Okay. But first, promise not to kick me out, please?” His eyes were pleading. I

    ‘You can’t save me, she-wolf.’ The words echoed in my head as I stared into Alex’s sad eyes. He looked convinced that he was beyond saving and that seemed to scare me a bit. He was too sure.“But at least let me try,” I begged him. He scoffed. “What are you even going to do? Bring my wife back?” He rose to his feet. “For now, Lara, just let me try to figure out the journey I’m on emotionally. I will go back to my pack…eventually.” “Okay.” I did not push him. And he did have a point. What was I going to do to save him? I was not a superhero. I did not have special powers. I was just a she-wolf that cared deeply for people.And apparently, that was called a hero mentality; wanting to help everyone to the point where sometimes I didn’t even regard myself. Alex may have said it while he was lashing out but I think he was right: He had been a leader way longer than I had. I may have been queen but that was just a nice coating, deep inside, I was still an omega. “It’s kind of late, I th

    A few seconds of silence filled the home theatre because the cartoon could not play forever, obviously. The projector was now off and the fancy inbuild lights on the ceiling were on. Alex sat next to me and played with his fingers nervously. He looked slightly uncomfortable but a look of determination also could be seen on his face. “For starters, I have two questions.” I began, and he turned his full attention to me. “Shoot.”“First one is what you mean when you said that I have earned the right or privilege to ask you about anything?” I raised one of my eyebrows. He smiled weakly. “Lara, you have become family. You have proven to me that you can be trusted and that you are willing to go through hell to protect my son. Do we have to do the whole ‘I am a blessing’ stuff over again?” He chuckled, and I could not help but laugh lightly. “No, thank you,” I refused as I continued to laugh. “That is why I came back here after I lashed out at you. You did not deserve that; you have be

    I sat down next to Alex and the smell of his cologne filled my nose. It was a strong scent but I really liked it though. The black-and-white cartoon playing on the projector was aesthetically pleasing. It reminded me of the past. Not just any past, or mine. But like the 1960s. Weird because I was not even alive at that time but that was the vibe I got from looking at Mickey Mouse doing funny dances while in black-and-white color. “You said you wanted to talk?” Alex smiled weakly as intrigue smeared his facial features. He was wearing a hoodie that looked great on him. If we were not about to talk about serious matters, I would have asked him where he got it. “Yeah, but you go first. What do you want to talk about?” I adjusted myself in my seat and made myself comfortable enough. My attention was trained on him as I awaited him to speak. “You sure?” “Yeah, go ahead.” I encouraged him. I was curious as to what he wanted to talk to me about. But I already knew what I wanted to talk

    I crossed my legs and watched Gene and Zayn sip lemonade from the glasses that were brought by the male helper. I was very invested in Gene’s backstory. I wanted to know more. “You have not touched your lemonade, dear,” Gene pointed out and we both glanced at the tall glass that was filled with the yellowy-sugary drink. “Her teeth hurt when she drinks lemonade,” Zayn explained politely, and I smiled involuntarily. He placed his hand over mine on the couch and a warm feeling filled my chest. “Sorry,” I mouthed to Gene but she brushed me off lightly. “Oh, that’s alright. You should have told me.” She crossed her legs too. “Would you like me to send for water?” “No, it’s okay. Don’t trouble yourself.” I played with the tips of my hair. “You said that the Silver Moon pack has unspoken laws?” “Uh, yeah. Laws that have been passed down from generation to generation. It’s not written and posted somewhere but it’s in the hearts of all the inhabitants of Rocky. I learned about those laws

    Smiles. Laughter. Joy. A lightness filled the air as Alex got out of the detective’s car. Snow fell from the sky and soon made white patches on his hair. His face was flushed and he had a smile so bright, that it could light up a dark night. The light humming of the car lingered in the air, and detective Stone and her wife got out of the car seconds later with cheerful looks on their faces. Bunny and the others joined us outside and Liam was out of words when his eyes landed on his dad. He glanced at me and his lips parted in disbelief. “Thank you,” He mouthed, and then turned his attention back to Alex. Liam watched his dad approach him and his eyes became glossy as they threatened to spill tears. He kept clenching and unclenching his jaw, and I could tell that he was trying his best to stop himself from crying. When Alex closed the distance between him and his son, they hugged each other tightly, and the scene made me teary. Zayn wrapped his right arm around my torso and pulled
