ALPHA KING AYDEN“Are you out of your damn mind!” Karl roared ferociously as I paced the bathroom like a crazy ass bastard. My fistsballed beside me and I inhaled and exhaled harshly like a fucked up bull. I was fucked up… And I was the one fucking myself and everyone else up. Karl barked, “You have completely ruined everything, asshole!” Yes. Yes, I did ruin everything. Realizing that my fist drove into the bathroom wall, leaving a noticeable dent in the wall. My first busted but if Karl could have his way, he would tear me up from within and kill me, in fact. “She didn't ask for too much but you have proven that you don’t care about her.” Karl gritted in my head and he made sure to pump my veins with toxicity and negativity. I deserved all that. Zadie didn't ask for much. She simply wanted to mark me, complete the mate bond with me and mark her territory around me but I freaked out even though I wanted all of those. I wanted to be branded as Zadie’s… I craved to be her’s
ZADIE WILSON I had to ignore him and hide my face… I had to enter the car and urged to be driven far away from him and the world, in fact. After realizing that I was the reason he was being cold to me all of a sudden… or should I say after a soul-modifying sexual session? It was all my fault and all I could do was cry as the car moved along the road. My eyes were blurry and I trusted the only supporter I could call to drive me to safety or to hell. “Talk to me, Zaa.” Chloe urged me as she drove us away from Ayden after I disappointed him, of course. He must see me as a liar right now. The sight of me must disgust him. How could that happen? Where did this go wrong? “C’mon, Zadie Ann Wilson.” Chloe yelled at me and my body jolted when she pressed the brakes suddenly. My teary eyes scanned the area and I realized that Chloe who I had called upon realizing that Ayden was mad at me because of what happened, had stopped the car in the middle of the street. I called Chloe
ZADIE WILSON“What is that supposed to mean, Zaa?” Chloe questioned after letting me sob to my heart's content. I whimpered, “There was no blood on the sheets, Chloe. I didn't bleed like every other woman which makes me a liar.” I have seen what lies could do to people. Lies could break even the strongest union and Ayden and I haven't gotten to that solid phase yet. We were just establishing our foundation for crying out loud. “If I get you right, you are saying he deflowered you but there was no blood on the sheet and he rejected you because of that?” Chloe summarized my fear in one go and I nodded. She gave me a criticizing look and I voiced, “I know, Chloe. I didn't mean to lie to him like that. I didn’t even know I was lying. I don’t know when or how I lost my virginity either. This is bad–” “Will you calm down?” Chloe raised her voice and I swallowed my anxiety, knowing that she would raise her voice even higher if I failed to do as told. “You have to relax and stop crying
ALPHA KING AYDEN“Call me when he is not with you.”My destined mate’s one true friend repeated to My Beta who has become her mate…And while I yelled, “Hold on and tell me what–” She ended the call without hesitation.Damn! Jaxon avoided my gaze as my body trembled visibly. I was shaking in anger and worry. My heart was clenching and unclenching fast causing me to breathe sharply like a wild beast.“You have to calm down, My King.” Jaxon voiced. “At least we know she is with Chloe and not Lucas who I must say is a sweet lad–”“Don't you dare patronize me, Jaxon!” I barked, slamming my hand on the steering wheel of my warrior car. Jaxon sealed his lips, understanding that I want in the mood for his nonsense. He was obviously trying to plead on behalf of his mate who had insulted the Alpha King unintentionally. And Lucas? He thought he could make me less mad by telling me about how he had spent time with Lucas and gotten to know him.Heck!“But what does she mean by human anatomy and
ZADIE WILSON“You really think we shouldn't answer that?” I asked cautiously, turning my head sideways to stare at my best friend.She was lying beside me on the small bed where we had created memories for many years. Chloe and I have been in that bed ever since she made me understand that Ayden has to be punished whether he was worried or not.Chloe murmured, “Don't get soft, Zaa. He should learn the hard way.”“But he has been calling, Chloe. You can tell he is sorry and perhaps he just panicked and–”My best friend yelled, “Don't make excuses for a man that rejected you, Zadie Ann.”Obviously, she wasn't considering my perspective as she had become so protective after she answered Beta Jaxon’s call the second time and he was still together with Ayden…“I am not joking, Jax. Don't make me mad just to help him out!” That was how Chloe responded to Beta Jaxon, shunning him and ignoring his calls ever since then.And Chloe’s cellphone had rang a number of times afterwards but she didn
ZADIE WILSONHis demeanor changed completely and I finally understood why Chloe had treated him like an enemy. He wasn't Lucas… not anymore. His face was red with the dangerous color of rage and his fists balled as he stood with a threatening stance. He blocked my path. Lucas, the sweet boy I used to adore had become this bitter young man. Before, he used to stand in my way to stop me from returning to Alpha Calvin’s home because he knew I hated it there but now he was standing here to stop me from returning to the man I have chosen and couldn't seem to hate as much as Chloe would have preferred. In fact, at this moment, I felt unsafe and yearned to have Ayden around me. “Don't be ridiculous, Lucas! Don’t make me mad!”Chloe yelled at her brother who definitely knew that making Chloe mad would be a mistake but Lucas stood his ground, fixing his hot gaze on my face while his sister tried to get him out of the way.He was an Alpha Male after all. They were usually possessive of the
ALPHA KING AYDENWe followed him here. It took a lot to track Lucas down and following him here wasn't exactly easy but thanks to Karl we were able to keep tabs on him. If we weren't completely careful, I would have believed Lucas knew we were following him. He took his time to scrutinize the environment of his home before he started driving over here in a beat-up wagon. And after he got to what could be called the entrance of the woods, he parked the car in a hidden spot and ran over here to spew rubbish at my woman and also hold her like she was his damned property. Jaxon and I have been waiting for the argument to end. Imagine my surprise when I found out there was a hidden tree house in my territory. I would never have made it here if Jaxon haven't suggested that we drive over to Lucas's home and trail him. Well, that was after I insulted Lucas and right after Jaxon succeeded in taking the phone from me and ending the call after saying a few words of apology to Lucas who in
ZADIE WILSONMy heart was filled with guilt as I walked shamefully towards the front pouch of our home. That was when I realized that I had selfishly cut some important people off. My sister for example, after the storm that happened last night, Emaline must have called my cell phone number a couple of times.Certainly, my sister’s calls must have been ignored by Chloe and me when we were ignoring calls from Jaxon. There was no doubt. Seeing Regina sitting by our potch in the cold night made my heart clench and she doesn't look pleased at all. I was quick to apologize to Regina because I was certain she must have been waiting for hours and her presence has everything to do with me and the fact that I left my cell phone in my room all day. “Please forgive me, Regina. I am sorry for the–” Regina raised her hand as I began and her eyes shifted off my body as she glared at her grandson. Although the day was becoming dark as night drew near, I could still see the angry expression on R
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
