ZADIE WILSONAfter what seemed like forever, I finally cleared my throat and welcomed the man my best friend has been ogling.“Hello, Beta Jaxon. What can we offer you today?”I strolled to him and urged him to come into the diner. As I said, he was definitely not our first customer for the day. If he was interested in taking anything, it would be Chloe.Ever since he opened the door to the diner, his eyes have been on her just like her eyes have been on him and it wasn't shocking when he responded by saying, “I actually came here for her, Zadie.”Stupidly, Chloe blurted, “Why will you be here for me? Did the Alpha King send you here for–”I backed away into a corner and watched the both of them step closer to each other like their body was being controlled by some telepathic strings.“Actually, he didn't send me here. And I had a fight with him before I could come here. I didn't properly introduce myself yesterday and I might have hidden a part of me from you.”Beta Jaxon announced.
ZADIE WILSONI was wrong. If I thought I was my loneliest when I fell asleep alone on the couch last night, I was wrong. Oh, wait... I thought that. I believed that in fact.Falling asleep in a big house without the man I have started seeing as mine felt wrong and it was a miracle that I didn't sob myself to sleep.However, waking up on the same couch in the same uncomfortable position brought about a new form of pain. I sat there for more than ten minutes, wondering why Ayden didn't come home to me.There was no text. Zero calls and no voice mails from him. It was as if he wanted to be alone without me. It was as if he was cutting me off after getting me attached.Yes, I was panicking.“Fuck!”I cursed as I jerked fearfully due to the sudden chime from my phone. I just received a text. I hissed as I reluctantly reached for my phone which has been on the table since last night.., just like the food u made for dinner.However, when it hit me that the text might be from Ayden, my rel
ALPHA KING AYDEN“How much longer do we have to stay here?”Karl barked within me, filling me with his frustrations. I hissed at him and at myself. This was driving me crazy and where the hell was my cell phone! Jeez. “You have to get out of here, Ayden. It’s been over twenty-four hours–” Karl etched. I argued, “You know I can't just leave, Karl. Look around.” My eyes scanned the area as I allowed my wolf beast to see the damages that still needed to be fixed. Since I left the house yesterday, I have been moving from one location to another. At first, I had to attend a meeting with all the six Alphas under my authority. Alpha Calvin showed up but he wasn't the most influential so he sat at the end of the table and I made sure none of them could look me in the eyes by releasing my aura to the fullest, making them all bow their head till I left the meeting. After that was done, I had to visit the families that lost their properties during the last storm… this was supposed to be th
ZADIE WILSONThe day wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It was so much worse. It was as if the universe had decided to turn against me.When I arrived at the diner, I met customers waiting by the door. I had to open the restaurant quickly and initially, I thought it was good that I had a lot of customers coming in to enjoy our new facilities but many more swarmed in, making it difficult for me to catch a breather. “Can I have another one of today’s specials, Chef Zadie!” A customer exclaimed as I rushed back into the kitchen with dishes and orders in my hand. Chloe obviously chose the wrong day to be out. Thankfully, the kitchen's new pieces of equipment were of much help. I was able to come up with easy recipes that would fit the day and also satisfy the customers. After many hours of standing and cooking, I bid the last customer of the hour farewell. She was a beautiful young woman who had been a regular customer. Before she exited she faced me, “You need to get more hand
ALPHA KING AYDEN“... Now that you are here.” She answered under her breath. I inhaled audibly when her hands circled my waist not because I didn’t want to be in her arms– Heck I have wanted to be in her arms since the moment I left her in my bed yesterday. But I was scared she would get wet too and I didn't want to put her in any condition that would trigger her allergies or worsen them. “Zadie… you can’t hold me right now.”I etched, trying to pull her off my body but she held on and whimpered, “Please hold me, Ayden. Hold me as tight as you can.” I sighed and tried to check her temperature but my wet hands couldn't be trusted. My clothes had absurd raindrops when I was rushing from the car park to the entrance of her diner. And also while I stood outside, knocking to be let in. I was so scared when she didn't respond at first but when I perceived her fear, I became more terrified. I was this close to kicking the door off its hinges. “Okay… but can I get out of these first? I
ALPHA KING AYDENMuch to my disappointment, the path of desire that will eventually lead to the path to pleasure had so many obstacles. And the storm wasn't helping the situation at all.I soon realized that staying inside Zadie’s diner was safer for her and better for us. Of course, it didn't draw on me until she started shivering in her seat while I tried to drive as fast as possible through the windy weather and the rain– which was very slow by the way. “What’s wrong?”I asked Zadie when she began clenching her teeth after about a five-minute drive from her diner. One of my hands was on her thigh but that didn't stop her from reacting to the rain. Goddess! Was she becoming feverish? Zadie announced, “It has never happened this way but I think seeing and hearing the sound of the rainfall is making me sick, Ayden.” I could sense that it was becoming difficult for her to speak and I cursed myself for losing focus on the most important issue. Keeping Zadie safe and shielding her
ZADIE WILSONWhat else could be more blissful than waking up in the arms of the man I have shared a couple of firsts with?He was the first man that truly saw me… He was the first man that helped me without asking for much in return… He was my first kiss. He was still the first man who marked me and made me move in with him. And now, he was the first man to sleep in the same bed with me, Hold me, and whom I would ever wake up in bed with. Unlike the last time, he was still in bed with me when my eyes fluttered open and my heart fluttered as well. Ayden was right behind me with his hand holding me lazily as my back pressed into his chest. His face was in my hair and his steady intake and exhale of breath showed that he was still sleeping peacefully. I had a peaceful night too–Wait a moment. When did I fall asleep? At what point did I pass out?Holy shit. Ayden must have moved me into the house himself. That was another one. He was the only man that has carried me gracefully
ALPHA KING AYDENShe was aching for me just like I was throbbing for her. Zadie might never be able to comprehend how much I craved her and how hungry she had made me but I was willing to show her as much as I could. I would love her and keep her with me forever. The moment she told me that she was aching for me, I lost my cool. Karl melted into my consciousness, adding more to the flame in my body. My eyes burned as I stared at Zadie, whose chest was rising and falling frantically. “Do you know why you are aching?”I muttered darkly as I stared at the woman underneath me. She was my woman. Her eyes held mine as she whimpered in response to my dark tone. Zadie replied breathlessly, “I am aching because I need you, Ayden. I need and want you–” .“Why do you need me and what can I do for you?” I asked, cutting in. She has to say it to me. She has to tell me those dirty words with her innocent mouth and I also needed to know if she was a virgin or not… Deep within me, I wanted to
ZADIE WILSON“Her eyes are opening, Mom…” Kairo’s childish voice was the first voice I heard after a warm hand left my forehead. I thought I was hallucinating but Emaline’s voice came after Kairo’s. My sister said amusingly, “Aunt Zadie wants to give you herself as your birthday gift. I told you she would wake up today.” Kairos’s birthday? Oh, dear goddess!“Don’t keep them waiting. We all have been waiting for you to wake up.” Those words filled my mind causing me to jump out of bed. That was the first time I would ever hear someone in my head and even though the voice was familiar, it still scared the shit out of me. “Get used to it, baby.” The voice came again even before I set my eyes on the speaker who was standing in one corner of the unfamiliar room with his arms placed lazily on his torso.Ayden. His voice was blank and he stared at me like I was the best thing in his life and–“You sure are the best thing in my life and I am happy to see you awake and agile.” Ayden voic
ALPHA KING AYDENThe tension in the air intensified. Emaline began to cry and even though I was still confused, I didn't ask any questions. I allowed her to go on at her own pace. Luna Lucia stepped even closer to Emaline when she touched her head and groaned in pain. Luna Lucia used her newly acquired power again, whispering, “Your memories are free from the shackles they have been trapped in. Flourish directly from the source.”Emaline, who had always been a gentlewoman, screamed at the top of her lungs and I lifted Kairo into my arms to shield him. Kairo’s eyes were red as he looked at his mom but he didn't let the tear slip. He held it all in, which caused me to worry about him. Luna Lucia held Emaline as she struggled like a possessed woman. “You are okay, Luna Emaline. You are okay.” Luna Lucia breathed calmly and Emaline imitated her. After pulling herself together, Emaline ended up breaking down. She sobbed, shaking her head as she stared at Calvin like he was the worst t
ALPHA KING AYDENIt’s been two days since I found Zadie and took her home… to my real home where my mom, dad, and brother were waiting to have her…. The entire pack was waiting to have her, in fact, but they couldn't see her as the war still continued. Of course, after Zadie fainted two days ago, I searched the building for clothes and found some right in the room where we completed the bond. I dressed us up but while I did, I found some letters hidden in the room and picked them up along with other materials that appeared suspicious and could be used as evidence. I took Zadie home to my Mom and Robin before leaving to join Jaxon and the men on the battlefront, carrying a piece of Zadie with me. Despite that, two days away from her was leaving a toil on me. But I couldn't leave, not when we were this close to winning this war.I mean we would have won if Alpha Calvin hasn't run away to hide his ass. “How do we smoke him out? He doesn't care about anyone but himself.” Karl pointed
ALPHA KING AYDENI grabbed his neck with only one intention. Kill him.The minute I freed myself from the spells he cast on me through the help of the witch… it has to be the witch because K doesn't seem like he had magical powers that were strong enough to make his Alpha King hallucinate. Regardless, he was going to die. I did feel like our win was too easy but that didn't stop Karl from fueling my anger as I tightened my hold on K’s neck. I didn't ask him questions even though I had like a million questions for him nor did I allow him to talk. I simply went for the kill.Obviously, he was a puppet and there was someone bigger behind him. Hopefully, Jaxon would succeed at capturing those people. “Kill him.” Karl seethed. And with one swift turn, I broke K’s neck and threw his body to the floor before ripping out his heart. I then kicked his body out of the room. I was too angry to torture him or waste time with him and I was more worried about Zadie and where we both stand as m
ZADIE WILSONWhen he said he would make me beg, he wasn't joking. I have come to realize that whether I was seeing Ayden or K, it doesn't change anything as long as the person with me is K.For the past too long minutes, he had been teasing me even though he would have had his way easily. I begged shamelessly. I couldn't help it and truth be told, I couldn't hate it either. My actions, my pleas, my whimpers… all of them were born out of desperation. I couldn't control my need so no one could hold this against me, right? No one could judge me based on this, right? No one but me. I would be devastated when the poison wears off. That’s if I don’t end up as a wild wolf with no hope of getting rescued. K fondled my breasts through the ting fabric of my dirty shirt. And again, I moaned. “Pl-please….” I whimpered, certainly begging to be fucked. I couldn't feel shame and neither did I see any reason to beg him not to touch me… I craved it. It was like a necessity that would save my l
ALPHA KING AYDENA sudden burn on my lips caught me off guard and I felt myself falling. My legs failed as my heart constricted not because I have been running for several minutes but because I was getting punished by the mate bond. “He is kissing her.” Karl spelled it out darkly. My knees touched the ground and I cried out in pain in the middle of nowhere. I didn't know where I was going but that didn't stop me from running towards where the mate bond was pulling me. I was certain it was this way. I could feel every wave of desire that hit Zadie… And I didn't fail to feel the lips of someone that wasn’t me on hers. “Ahhh…” I growled. My fists clenched the twigs that were on the ground and some cut my palm but I didn't stop pushing them further into my hand. I was over… This was the end. “No, Ayden!” Karl growled in my head. Blood and sweat mixed together externally while pain and anger mixed well internally. “If you are feeling like this because he kissed her. Have you sto
ZADIE WILSONI didn't know how long I had been out but one thing I knew for sure was that the moment I opened my eyes, a portal opened within me.A portal of need. I was hungry. I was severely hungry but food wasn't the problem. Something shifted within me and I felt the heat becoming more passionate.The hunger wasn't in my stomach. It was right there between my legs. Right there within my core. I gasped and found myself wanting to be consumed by that hunger. It was strange but it was the best kind of hunger I had ever felt. It did come with pain as it grew yet I wanted more of it.“Now that’s what I am talking about.” The familiar voice of K broke into my trance and my eyes cut to him quickly. He chuckled when he saw my condition. “You want to be touched right? I can be of help.” His irritating voice made my skin crawl and I gagged even though I sort of found the thought of him touching me appeasing. What was wrong with me? “In time, you will stop gagging. The poison is takin
ALPHA KING AYDENEight hours have passed since Robin and I had our unusual conversation.Eight hours have passed since Zadie’s kidnapper gave me an ultimatum of forty-eight hours.Robin has explained some facts about the mate bond; even though Zadie hasn't marked me, the mark on her neck can guide me to her. But for that to happen, Zadie has to be in danger and in extreme pain. It was concerning but I haven't felt anything strange yet. I was also hoping that my parents would arrive before the moment happened. My dad has to be here before I can leave the palace. I sat in Regina’s room, occasionally staring at her and my cell phone screen. My grandmother would have been disappointed in me if she had been conscious. She would probably eat me alive when she wakes up and find out I have put Zadie through so much more than anyone could imagine. Keeping Zadie, a secret should have protected her but it didn't. “We will save her,” Karl assured me even though he was also very much anxious.
CHAPTER 89.ALPHA KING AYDEN“You have to calm down, Alpha King…” Jaxon cautioned me but I was far gone.I was losing my mind… in fact, I have lost my mind. Chloe was crying uncontrollably in Jaxon’s hand while Jack just stood in a corner watching us with wide eyes. I was in pain. My heart hurt so bad yet there was nothing I could do about it. I could no longer control my emotions despite Regina’s condition. Everything was a mess.Although Zadie had stopped screaming, I was more worried. Why couldn't I hear her voice anymore? This was my fault. I shouldn't have acted nonchalantly. And K or whatever the fuck his name may be has taken it upon himself to reveal my identity to Zadie. “What did you do to her?” I gritted into the cell phone speaker, ignoring everyone around me.K laughed again. He must have inhaled laughing gas. “She fainted. How could a weak female like her be destined to be your mate? Well, good for me.”“I am warning you. Don’t touch her or even think about—”“You c
