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
ZAYNThis woman was killing me. It was hard for me to summon a single thought in my head when she was grinding on my raging erection so slowly like she was using me for her pleasure instead of mine. Each kiss she planted on my skin made my skin burn. I did my best to adopt an impassive expression as I held her waist tightly, my fingernails digging into her skin. She cast me a doubtful look as she surveyed me, trying to see if I was affected by her body. “Are...you enjoying this?”My heart shattered and pieced together when I noticed the hesitant look in her eyes. From the first time I saw her, there wasn't a single moment I wanted Maisie to doubt herself and her value in front of me but the words in my heart just didn't seem to align with the thoughts I kept buried deep in my heart. “Oh, you are trying to seduce me?” I gave her an icy smirk and taunted, “I thought you were using me to get off since no one can pleasure you the way I do.”Her eyes fired up right after my words just l
ZAYNMy son cast us a nervous glance back and forth before he answered us, “If it's okay, I would like to get better before I have another sibling. So that I would be able to take care of it well.”“Alright, we will wait,” I gave him a reassuring smile to mask the tender emotions surging in my chest. My son's behavior reminded me of my younger brother who always saw the world's affairs so simply. After enjoying a meal together, I escorted my mate and son to their destinations before heading to the office. As I entered, my Beta, Xavier, greeted me with a serious look on his face. Despite his grim expression, he respectfully nodded in my direction. "There is something I have to discuss with you, Zayn," he said.I gestured for him to follow me into the office, and once the door closed behind us, he started, "My father has arranged a meeting with the alpha of the Warclaw pack to discuss my sister's mating ceremony. We hope for your cooperation in extending a warm welcome to him.""Of cou
The shopping assistant guided Zayn to a plush couch outside the fitting room, I walked into the fitting room to try out the wedding dresses that I had picked earlier. The room was quite big. It had a bench as well as two full-length mirrors, one at the door and one at the back wall. My heart was racing with anticipation at the thought of seeing my mate's face after I showed him those dresses. My makeup and hair were already done in a nearby section of the shop so all I had to do was put on those dresses to wow his mind out. The first dress I had the pleasure of trying on was a stunning mermaid style. It beautifully embraced every curve, accentuating all the right places. The sweetheart neckline elegantly highlighted my collarbones, while the flowing train cascaded behind her like a graceful river of smooth silk.I cast a nervous sigh before I passed through the lace curtains to present myself. Zayn's disinterested eyes instantly widened when they landed on me. “You look stunning,”
