ZAYN As soon as I said those words, my opponent immediately pounced at me with a knife aiming for my throat. My body twisted to avoid his strike, my eyes glimpsing at the sharp silver knife that swiped through the air. Adrenaline fuelled my body as I rolled away to another position and fired, the gunshot deafening in the confined space. Roger's speed was much more than I had expected as he ran behind the Keviar-plated kitchen door to hide. I heard the door close with a click but from the sounds I picked up from there, I guessed he was currently stocking up some knives to attack me.From what I knew, those were his favorite weapons he normally used to kill his target and he was not new to the concept of waiting for the right opportunity to strike. However, I knew I didn't have much time to outwait him so I decided to lure him first to attack. It was obvious he was here to kill my mate for revenge but what I didn't understand was what gave him the balls to act on such thoughts."See,"
MAISIE I should have known that something was amiss when he lured me to the bedroom. Immediately I reached the bed, he pulled me close to his hard, toned body and grabbed my ass. A bolt of electric pleasure shot up my spine as his lips pressed against my neck. A whimper escaped my lips as he spun me around and his hands settled on my hips. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest when I rested my head on his shoulder, my ass pushing into his pelvis to grind against the growing bulge in his trousers. “Maisie...” His soft, warm breath touched my skin right before his tongue licked the shell of my sensitive ears. I moaned in pleasure and arched my back so his hand could slide across my breasts. His fingers pinched my nipples, sending a hot lick of pain and pleasure down my body. I was so hot for him that I couldn't even stop grinding against his muscled chest. But my senses came back when I felt him stiffen slightly. I chided my wolf for not reminding me of his injuries as
MAISIEI stirred lightly in discomfort, my eyelashes fluttering as I opened my eyes to see the soft morning light peeking through the half-drawn curtains. My body felt light and warm against the plush sheets underneath me but it didn't take me long to realize that I wasn't the only one alone in the room. All vestiges of sleep in my mind vanished when I looked down and saw my mate in between my legs. My eyes widened when I met his own, entrapped in his gaze as he took a slow, long lick against my pussy, bringing me intense pleasure. My body arched from the bed as I pushed my pussy against his loving mouth. Zayn seemed to read my mind so he pulled my clit into his hot, wet mouth. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I gripped the sheets hard to withstand the body-racking sensation spreading through every fiber of my being. “Good morning,” As the storm raged outside, his deep, husky voice cut through the chaos and drew my attention. I found myself gazing at him once again. His to
MAISIEAn hour later, I went to work with wobbly legs after escaping Zayn and his insatiable cock. I was forced to take extreme measures to avoid him such as locking the bathroom door before showering but my mate was someone who always got what he wanted. So here I was, entering my office at precisely 12:30 pm with the walk of shame. “Ok, now I see why you were absent from our morning meeting,” Mei Lin teased me as she placed some documents in front of me. "Anyone within a ten-mile radius can smell Zayn on you. Damn, is he really that good?”“Shut up,” My cheeks colored with embarrassment as she exited the room with a knowing laugh. Although I was trying to adjust to my duties, I still couldn't stop thinking about my morning with Zayn. I felt like the happiest woman in the world right now and there was nothing that could stop me from smiling all day. But that was until I received another message from Gail Scott, and a part of me already had a feeling about what it was about. However
The air in the room grew heavy with tension following Zayn's sudden outburst. Despite the tears welling up in my eyes, I refused to let them fall. I was determined not to show any vulnerability in front of Odessa, who seemed intent on driving a wedge between Zayn and me.Summoning all my strength, I managed to speak, "Fine, I'll give you my phone, but only if we make an exchange. Mine for yours."Zayn's eyebrows shot up in surprise at my proposal. "What do you mean?" he asked."You heard me, Zayn," I replied, my voice unwavering. “Since you are mate, it is within your rights to invade my privacy just like it is mine. Give me your phone and I will give you my phone. I guess that's a fair deal?”I saw Zayn's jaw clench hard as he surveyed me but I refused to squirm under his intense gaze. The main reason I had brought forth such a condition was to buy me some time until I was able to check the unread message Gail had sent me. Besides, I knew Zayn would never agree to it because as alpha
MAISIEZayn's emotions suddenly crashed me like a freight train, intense and raw as he clenched his fists tightly. I knew how much I had hurt him by bringing up the past between us but it was something that also had always bothered me. After several minutes of heavy silence, he asked me quietly, “Why?”“Because I was scared of losing you again,” My words fractured with anguish as tears streamed down my cheeks before I even realized it, “I was afraid that you would wake one day, and leave me. I know you love me, Zayn but there are times you look at me with so much hatred. I was just not sure I could bear that again when we were finally married.”My mate shifted his gaze away from me, staring blankly at the table. That night had broken both of us and left us with so many scars that had never fully healed up till now. A part of me resented him for not believing me, for driving me and his unborn son out of his pack and putting the both of us through this mess. I knew he also despised me
ZAYNI was still seething even when I drove my car to Alexei's school. I thought my wolf would be able to seek peace once I was on the road but it was futile to drive away the nasty thoughts in my heart. The fact that Maisie had deceived me all this time just to run away made me feel like a fool. How could she do this to me? She took advantage of my love and stabbed me in my heart once more. This was the third time she had betrayed me. The first time was that incident with Xavier and the second time was when she let Lincoln escape from me and now she had seduced me just to lower my guard and run away with her lover, Felix. Whenever I thought about that alpha, all I wanted to do was bash his head bloody and tear him apart with my damn claws. He might have been a lifesaver to my mate and son, but his constant interference kept grating on my nerves. After all, it was hard to know who was the person behind Gail's connection to my mate. It was clear that he was not going to stop until
MAISIEI paced back and forth anxiously, my mind racing as I waited for my husband and son to return. When I realized they were late, I frantically contacted his secretary and the school director, but both confirmed that Kodiak and Alexei had left the school and his office hours ago. My heart pounded with fear as I imagined all the worst possible scenarios. Initially, I thought that Zayn was bluffing about taking away my son, but I was no longer confident about my speculations.Zayn was very unpredictable and sometimes, he was petty and vengeful when he wanted. I suspected he was doing this to scare me and it was working very well. Tears of helplessness and frustration filled my eyes at the moment but when I just couldn't do it anymore, I shot to my feet to go look for them. At that momentZayn's behavior was incredibly unpredictable. There were times when he displayed pettiness and a vengeful streak that left me feeling on edge. I had a nagging feeling that he was purposefully trying
