ZADIE WILSONAnother three days have passed with no sign of Ayden. It's been six days since he left me with promises. He told me he would be back soon but six days wasn’t what I could call soon.Perhaps I should have asked him how soon he would get back to me.I have done everything I could to stop thinking about him. I have drowned myself in work. Went on so many dates with Chloe who was also becoming worried with each passing day. I have also tried to call Regina but that had been a waste of time. For some reason, she wasn't answering her phone either. “How could I not know her house despite being mated to her grandson?” I asked myself, getting lost in my thoughts again. Who was I kidding? I didn't even know about Ayden’s parents. I haven't met them and the way I found out about his younger brother wasn't exactly normal. I was a joke of a mate. Although I fell in love with Ayden, anyone would say that our love wasn't genuine and I wouldn't be able to blame such a person. How co
ZADIE WILSONThose two words did something to me. Something that made my whole body come alive even though It shouldn't have affected me that much.After all, it wasn't coming from my man.It was coming from Alpha James, Chloe and Lucas’s dad, and Luna Lucia’s mate. His smile was immaculate and Luna Lucia mirrored his facial expression as he stepped closer to us.Obviously, they were crazily in love. The way he called her reminded me of my mate. The feeling that came with that was ambiguous as I was both happy and sad as well.Luna Lucia rose from the outdoor bench and met her mate halfway. She hugged him and he hugged her back. “Hi, Honey.” Luna Lucia whispered but I was paying close attention to the two lovers that have conquered the trial of time and still stayed together. “Welcome home.”“I couldn't wait to get home.” Alpha James said to Luna Lucia. His voice carried so much love.The Luna giggled like a little teenager in love. “I was also waiting for you. You know I can't eat
ZADIE WILSONAfter a long restless night, it was finally morning and the morning sun was high up in the sky, sharing its glowing light with the world. I stretched out of bed and immediately reached for my cell phone again. I had made it a habit to check the phone over and over again during the night which was one of the many reasons I didn't sleep well. Chloe was also restless all night and I saw her leave the room earlier this morning, probably to train with her pack warriors. She has been doing that since she lost contact with Beta Jaxon. “Maybe I should start training my weak bones as well,” I muttered to myself as I clicked on the inbox between Ayden and me. My heart sank when I saw that the message has been delivered but he hasn't read it. The last time I checked, the text hasn't been delivered so shouldn't I be happy about this progress? I sighed and pushed myself to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth before returning to the room. I realized I had nothing t
ZADIE WILSONThe drive to my home was smooth. Aside from Lucas’s numerous attempts to talk to me while he drove, the drive was pretty smooth. At some point, I felt bad for ignoring his chit chat but I also didn't want to give him too much opening. Lucas has proven that he could misuse any opportunity of proximity. The moment he stopped the car in front of the house, I felt my heart leaping for joy. My hands reached out to open the door as I couldn't contain the excitement any longer and I needed to inhale Ayden. His room would be a good place to start.“Do you want me to go in there with you?” Lucas asked as soon as I hopped out of the car. Immediately, I rejected his offer. “No!” Realizing that my tone was too harsh, I repeated myself but I was gentler this time. “No… You don’t have to. I will be fine.”In all honesty, I didn't want Lucas within the walls of my home. It was Ayden’s home as well and I was certain that he wouldn't want Lucas snooping around our house. He wouldn’t
ALPHA KING AYDEN“How is it going at the border?” I questioned the head of the royal warriors, Steve. He has gamma blood flowing in his veins, leading the warriors to victory ever since I took the throne. Steve responded with a bow of his head. “We have found the route that was created by the intruders, My King and I have made sure that the borders are heavily protected.” That was good but it wasn't good enough.“Have you gotten your hands on the group that cause the chaos and had the guts to come into my home?” That would be good because I was losing my shit. It has been a week since I got the message from Jaxon after feeling the painful rip of connections in my mind. It's been a week of agony, misery, and inevitable responsibilities.It was high time those that attacked my home in my absence paid. They had the gut to go into the Alpha King Mansion and slay my people mercilessly. They also slay my– gosh! Steve sighed and shook his head shamefully, “Although I have put the best t
ALPHA KING AYDENMy wolf beast growled within me even though Jaxon hasn't gotten any of the needed information across to me. My eyes stayed glued to Jaxon’s blank face and I tried all I could to mirror his expression as the elders stared at me, observing me. I cleared my throat and ordered the Elders to leave the hall. I added that they should send any complaint to my office and I would attend to it later. Without thinking twice, I strolled to the exit door that led to the inner part of my mansion. Jaxon followed behind me and as soon as we left the hall, I asked him, “What happened with Zadie?”My voice carried the urgency and the sadness my soul held onto. My Beta muttered without meeting my gaze, “Alpha King, Chloe just forced her way into my mind, and she--”I did tell Jaxon to stop communicating with Chloe because I didn't want him to mindlessly tell her about the situation. It was hard to keep secrets between mates that have marked themselves. It was harder to make him stop
ALPHA KING AYDEN“What's taking him so long?” Karl asked impatiently. He wasn't the only one that was uneasy. Even I was. I was anxious and waiting for Jaxon to show up any minute from now. Ever since my Beta left, I had been in the throne room, pacing back and forth, knowing that I would remain like this until Zadie was found. “They should have gotten here. It's been forever since Jaxon went to get them.” Karl growled within me.“You are making me more impatient, Karl. We have to stay calm.” I said to my wolf beast. Karl promised that he would do his best to keep his emotions at bay. Together we could stay calm and not break things or hurt people. Talking about not hurting people, that determination was tested when a familiar maid stepped into the throne room. She looked like the perfect person to vent my anger on but she was too fragile. One lash and she would break.“Good day, Alpha King.” The maid, Jasmine, greeted me. She curtsied and waited for me to acknowledge her.I utt
ALPHA KING AYDENJust as I perceived, Jaxon and the Flores siblings were already in the throne room by the time I got there. Even before I reached the hall, I could hear Lucas's annoying voice as he asked, “What are we doing in the Alpha King’s mansion when I should be out there searching for Zadie! She might be in danger!”I boiled internally and I swear I was steaming. Of course, Lucas was the first on my suspect list. Why not?He was nothing but an asshole that I should have taken out months ago. “You will understand soon. Just calm down and tell the truth.” Jaxon had said to him as I drew closer in all my glory as the Alpha King.My aura was out in large doses. Lucas wouldn't have a chance. “What if he didn't kidnap her? Tread with caution, Ayden. He might be able to help us get her back.” Karl surprised me with those words. What? Never have I thought that my wolf beast would take sides with Lucas who he hated just as much as I hated him… or even more than I hated him. As I
