A week had passed, and Luka led his family back home to the pack. Zoe was going out the back to throw away the trash when he appeared on the tree lines leading the pack of wolves, fear was the first that crept into her mind and she was paralyzed on the spot. The fear she had was the kind that paralyzed you, the kind that made you forget everything and just succumb to it, and the kind that made you lose all your senses, and the only thing you can focus on is how afraid you are.
Today was her birthday and she had asked beta JP if she could go home for the day and spend it with her friends and family. He had promised her after breakfast that he was going to take her home after finishing the paperwork he was busy with and now this man was back. She did not expect him to be back so soon, and she wondered If he would let her go home. Luka smelled the scent of her fear from afar and snapped his head in her direction.
But it seemed that there was something more pulling him and
Zoe heard footsteps coming towards her room and her beat boomed in her chest. She was scared that Luka has come back once again, she curled herself into a ball burying her head on her chest and when JP walked in, he found her in that position making him feel sorry for her. He stood where he was not wanting to scare her even more than she already was. “Hey Zoe, I thought I was taking you home for your birthday, or did you change your mind?” he asked her hoping that she would respond, and she did.She lifted her head and looked in his direction. “But your alpha said that I couldn’t go.” She told him still with tears running down her cheeks, she did not want to defy him, Goddess knows what he would do if anyone defied him. “He agreed for me to take you there, come on am sure your friends and family are waiting for you.” He smiled at her, she jumped out of bed and swore her shoes. “Am ready.” She wanted to get out of there as
Her mother smelled her scent even before they could appear at the door and went to meet them. She hurried over when she saw her mate carrying their daughter; she thought she was injured. “What happened to my baby?” she asked checking her to see if she was injured. “I don’t know.” Her mate told her as he placed Zoe on the couch. Her mother sat next to her and wiped her tears. “What’s wrong baby?” she asked worriedly.“Oh mom,” more tears fell from her eyes, it hurt her mother to see her like that and she could tell that she was hurting. “What happened Zoe? tell us,” Zoe sniffed and tried to compose herself. “I found my mate mom.” Her mother broke into an enormous smile. “What’s wonderful baby, you found him at the devil’s pack?” Zoe nodded. “Then why are you crying? You should be happy you found him so soon, not everyone is that lucky. It took me almost a year befo
“This is not good Mason; this is not good at all and no wonder she was such a mass when she arrived,” Lizzy said concerned about her friend, she knew how scared Zoe was of the Devil’s alpha and now she mated to him. “I know but there is nothing either of us can do for her and am sure that she is just there to get her stuff. Tell her parents and leave.” Mason said, the news extremely disappointed him. “I should have known that something was up when she arrived accompanied by the beta.” Said Lizzy.Mason did not reply. “Let us say our goodbyes to her, we don’t know when we will get to see her again. That is if we ever see her again.” Said Mason absent-minded. “Can we pass by my house? I want to get her gift; it is still her birthday after all.” Lizzy said standing up. “Sure, we can pass by the pack house as well and get mine.” Nodding they walked side by side heading to the pack house since it w
Alpha Zane suggested they look for them and everyone went out of the house and started searching. Beta JP caught her scent right behind the house and alerted others. They followed it to the woods but lost it in there; they took different directions looking for them and alpha Zane mind linked the border patrol to find out if they had crossed the border by any chance, but the results were futile, and it was getting late so JP had no choice but to call Luka.He took out his phone and reluctantly dialed his number. The call connected soon as if he was waiting for him to call. “JP.” Answered Luka. “Alpha.” He said then kept quiet not know how to break the news to him. “John Paul, you better tell me the reason for this call now.” Luka was on his feet on the other side this call made him nervous. “Alpha I have lost her,” reported JP with the most respectful voice he could muster.“What does that supposed to mean JP?”
ZoeI looked at Mason and found him looking pale as if blood has been drained from his face. Then I looked at my mate and the only thing I could see is dead from his eyes. What am I going to do, how am I going to stop him from hurting Mason? While I was still standing there, not knowing what to do, he growled moving toward Mason fast.Goddess! How can a huge thing like him move that fast? “No!” someone said, and I looked around. Everyone was looking at me, even my friends. Oh, I said that, and he stopped. “Don’t hurt him, he is my friend nothing more, and I was only saying goodbye to the both of them.” Okay now he is looking at me and I feel my fear returning.‘Don’t be afraid Zoe, he is our mate, and he won’t hurt us.’ Oh, Goddess, how I missed that voice, my wolf, Nikki. ‘Breathe Zoe, breathe.’ I took a deep breath then continued. “Please, lets go home and leave my friends
ZoeThe drive back to the devil’s pack is silent, not the uncomfortable kind, no, this kind is welcomed. I am driving in the jeep with beta JP and Luka with his family are running in their wolf forms. I can see them on the tree line running, he is ahead of everyone with two wolves flagging him on both sides and the rest following behind.If I didn’t know better, I would have sworn that he was a bear, the man is enormous, but his speed doesn’t say so, he is fast, and I mean fast. Their speed is almost matching that of the car we are driving in. “He is not that bad you know.” There goes my peace. “Okay.” Giving him answers Zoe so that he doesn’t say more.“He would rather die than see you hurt or hurt you. That man never thought he will have a mate but here you are. To him you are everything and you don’t know how fast he got here when we thought you were missing. He even brought his whol
LukaWhen she ran forward towards the rogues my heart almost stopped, she was fast getting to the rogue, and I was right behind her. She lunged and ripped the rogue's throat out. My mom and the others took care of the three. I twisted the one closest to me and broke its neck. I went for the other, but it ran only to be met by my beta ripping its throat out. I looked around for more but the was none, my mate was looking around.Not wasting time, I went to her and circled her checking for injuries but there was none. The only blood that she had was the one on her mouth and I know that is not hers. He looks at me then growls in anger; she is pissed but I don’t care. If she thought I will let her fight those rogues alone, then she was mistaken. She moves past me and then growls at JP before leading the way. She doesn’t even know the way home but I will say nothing; she is angry right now.‘Alpha, I think Luna is angry.’ How annoying my beta c
ZoeI can’t believe I was checking Luka out, what is wrong with me? ‘There is nothing wrong with you Zoe, he is our mate and his hot.’ Nikki says then show me images of him standing there half naked looking hot. ‘Nikki, you are not helping.’ I reprimanded my wolf; she can be such an animal sometimes. Then I had to ruin it by being afraid of him. I must say, it hurt to see him defeated like that when he told me, he wouldn’t hurt me.It showed me a side of him I didn’t think existed, a vulnerable side or was I seeing things? Am not sure. “Are you going to go inside soon Luna?” shit! I forgot JP was still here. “We can go.” I say and lead the way. “You will no longer be staying in the room that you stayed in before, alpha has asked me to move your things to his room on the fourth floor.” That is another thing I forgot.I am Luka’s mate now and that
By eight in the evening, everything was ready at the devil's pack and some members from the Blood Moon pack were arriving. The ladies finished their make-up and got dressed in their exquisite dresses. “Xavier will not be able to concentrate with you looking like that.” Zoe complimented the fairy queen. “That’s the plan, are you sure he won't mind that I have invited some of my kind?” “No, he won't mind, trust me, all my son wants is for you to be happy and if having some of your kind here makes you happy then will not mind at all,” Zoe assured her. “I am so nervous.” Admitted Somaya rubbing her hands together. Zoe took her hands and made her look at her. “The pack knows you and some members have met you personally when you resolved their issues for them. You are not new to leadership Somaya, you are a queen, and being a Luna is no different from that. Well, except you don’t decide alone and you don’t have to carry the burden of the pack on your own because you
By the time everyone woke up the next morning. Zoe and the kids were already in the kitchen making breakfast. Lizzy was the second person to arrive with her two kids. “And then, who are these cute little things?” she was asleep when JP came back with the kids and her mate Damien did not wake her up. He knew how hard she worked and took care of the kids as well.“These are JP’s kids, Andre and Mariana.” Lizzy’s eyes popped. “JP’s kids? Wait, what are they?” she asked as she sniffed the air for their scents. “Jaguars.” Answered Zoe as she fed the kids. “I don’t understand a thing right now,” Lizzy admitted as she took a seat on the barstool watching Zoe as she fed the four kids.“I will tell you all about it later, for now, please help me finish breakfast.” Lizzy nodded and got down from the barstool. JP came in running and stopped in his tracks when he saw the kids. He sighed
Xavier slept and only woke up after eleven pm. He went to freshen up before going downstairs for food; he thought his mate would be hungry when she woke up. The packhouse was quiet at this time of night, everyone was asleep and it was understandable after the exhausting day everyone has had. He warned his food and ate then warm food for his mate before placing everything on a tray and taking it up to his room.Somaya was still asleep when he got back, he placed the tray on the bedside table then took his laptop and started working. Reports needed to be written about the events that took place and a formal report is to be sent to the elders about the demons. So, while his mate slept, he worked. Just after midnight Somaya stirred then fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes.She yawned and then stretched her arm to feel the place next to her. Xavier had stopped typing and looking at her. He was pleased to see her do that, to him it meant she enjoyed sleeping next to
JP spend the day buried in his work trying to distract himself from thinking about the children that might be coming. But evening came sooner than he wished it to and a mind link from the warriors came telling him that the Jaguar shifter has dropped two children off at the border. JP’s heart thundered in his chest.It boomed in his ears as if it was going to jump out of his chest with how hard it was beating. He didn’t know if it was nerves or just plain fear. He snapped out of it when the warrior called to him again through the mind link when he did not answer. “I will be right there.” He said the jumped out the office window shifting mid-air and ran towards the border.“You are going to be a father now, how does it feel?” his wolf mocked with a chuckle. “Shut up!” he growled at his wolf making him laugh. “Leave it to you to agree to raise Cats.” JP wanted to cut the mind link with his wolf and shove him to t
Xavier laid his mate on his bed then got in next to her then pulled her close to him. She was breathing like someone who was sleeping and Xavier thought she was too tired. “When you wake up, I will mark you as mine, not more games between us. I want you by my side always.” He sniffed her scent and felt his nerves calm.“What I have learnt from this whole thing with the demons is that tomorrow is not guaranteed and I want to spend whatever time I have left with you. Some say I am immortal but the death of the oldest hybrid showed me that no one is really immortal. One way or the other we will all die and I want to die a happy man. With you by my side, so if you will have me, I would like to mark you as my own and make you the Luna of my pack. My Luna.”He spoke as if he was talking to a conscious person; he didn’t even know if she could hear him or not but he wanted to get all of that off his chest. A lot has happened, and he did not want t
“Can you really help?” asked Zoe for the tenth time as they drove heading to her old pack. “Yes, I can, and please stop worrying.” The queen assured her and Zoe nodded. The journey felt longer than it was to Zoe. When the big gates written Blood Moon, appeared she felt relieved.The warriors on patrol only saw her, and she nodded at them. These are the people she used to train with when she was still living here. They knew her and she knew them. They also knew who she was mated to, and they did not want to get on the devils' bad side.Zoe mind linked Luka as soon as they entered the gates. “Darling, we are passing the gate now.” She said through the mind link. “Are you okay?” all he could think about was her safety, he could not imagine his life without her. “Am alright Luka, I will tell you when we are close to the packhouse,” she informed.“Don’t!” she frowned. “There is mounta
While they were still looking at the disappearance of the beautiful woman, she appeared again. Looking frustrated. “Oh, you couldn’t do your disappearing act or you missed us and came back?” asked Zande, Asmodeus gave him a glare. “She can’t use her powers now; the mark of Solomon and mountain ash prevents her from using her powers.” JP answered.“Don’t be so smug about it, dog, you all can’t use your powers either, but I will still enjoy my time with you, I might not be able to use my powers to affect you people but I am still Asmodeus the demon of lust and I will have every male wolf in this pack eating out of the palm of my hand.” She smirked.“Okay, I have heard and seen about enough. You fuck off and in case you forgot. We can kill you now, it’s only a matter of time before we send you back in the hole you crawled out from.” Said Luka earning himself a glare from Asmodeus. “Nope, f
Xavier and Luka arrived. They got out of the car then went inside, JP was coming down from the stairs when they came in. He sighed in relief when he saw them. “Thank the Goddess you are here.” He spoke. “I don’t think we will be much help but let’s see what the situation is. The warriors tell us that Asmodeus is here.” Said Luka.JP nodded. “Lead the way.” Said Luka, JP led them to the living room. The witches were standing by the door while the beautiful woman was sitting on the couch looking at them with a smile on her face with her long legs crossed. Her smiled widened when she saw the three men coming in and she stood up.“Well, well, well, what have we here?” she said walking towards them. “Don’t come any closer.” The wizard warned. “Oh, come on, if you had a way to stop me you would have done so already and besides. You are already weakened; your companion is already mine.”
JP has forced the witches to come to the pack house so they can come up with a plan to catch the demon before it does any damage. They were not sure if she was in the Blood Moon Pack or not, but they had to put safety measures in place to protect the pack. While they were busy discussing what is to be done, the witch caught a piece of paper that flew to her. She read the contents then the page burnt after reading it’s contents. The wizard she was with looked at her waiting to hear what the message said. “Mammon has also escaped the underworld.” Zande stood and paced. “As if the demon of lust was not enough now your people went and released the demon of greed. What are you people trying to do?” he asked angered by all of this. “Our people are not trying to do anything but remedy the situation, beta Zande.” Zande scoffed. “If it wasn’t for your kind, no demon would have escaped in the first place!” the witch kept quiet, what Zande was saying was the truth and t
