ANNE

He leaves after dumping all his emotions on me. I felt like following him but I didn’t.

It was best to leave each other alone for some time. He finally let the truth off his chest so he needs to come to terms with it and I, too need some time to digest the fact that I became the reason for all this.

I remained sitting on the couch in the living room, thinking about everything and also unconsciously waiting for Zero but he didn’t return even when the clock struck three in the night.

I gave up on waiting for him and came to my room before tiredly lying on the bed without even bothering to turn on the lights. The shadows are not scaring me anymore—the thought of guilt consuming me does.

It’s all because of me—I can’t seem to shake this thought off my mind. If only I knew how to keep my mouth shut in anger, I would have avoided cutting him so deep. He must have been devastated. He liked me, accepted the bond unlike me, and cared for me so much even back then.

But me? I was searchin

    ANNE “ I love you. ” I pant, smirking. Zero groans, before his lips crash against mine. Another involuntary moan slips past my lips. This kiss is different. This time, it’s tender and gentle. He waits patiently for my lips to be in sync with his. His tongue slips between my lips softly, exploring and caressing my mouth. I tug on his hair, making him moan. “ Say it again. ” He pulls away, leaning in to pant in my ear. His voice is exceptionally sexy tonight. He moves over to my neck, planting kisses all over it. I find myself moaning louder as pleasure crawls down my flesh, causing my whole body to tingle. His hand moves between my legs. I part my thighs, allowing his fingers to reach out to my wet nub. He traces my clit with his thumb from over my sweatpants, causing me to breathe heavy in his ear. “ I—I fucking love you so much. ” My heart is struggling to stay inside my chest. I hold onto his hair and shoulder for dear life. His thumb rubs me aggressively. My back arches off t

    ANNEI yawn before opening my eyes. Instantly, I am met with Zero’s peaceful face. It takes me a moment to realize why he is holding me as if his life depends on me.A smile lights up my lips as I touch his cheek with my fingers. His eyes snap open, peering back into my eyes.He doesn’t say anything. I drag my fingers to his forehead, brushing the stray hair back. My gaze follows the movement of my fingers as the smile remains plastered over my lips.I can feel his presence deep inside my mind. It’s a calm feeling that keeps my mind at rest. I never knew being marked by someone felt so good—so intimate.“ Are you okay? ” He whispers in his smooth voice.I blink, my attention drawn to those two black holes. “ Yes. ”He asked the same thing last night but I was too tired to answer. It doesn’t take me much time to get that he was worried throughout the night. He had never lost control in bed but yesterday night, it was impossible to get him off me before he was thoroughly done satisfying

    ANNEZero left the house after I made him eat the breakfast I prepared. I was thoroughly distracted by his constant stare and almost burned the pancakes again today. It seems like his stare, his smile, his presence is something I will have to get used to if I don’t want to be so out of my mind every time he is near.A smile plays over my lips as I sit on the kitchen counter, in front of Giana and Natalie. Yes. They came just when Zero left. Of course, the idiots had to come to inquire about the stupid date they planned.Thank Goddess, I ended that awful date in the parking lot and returned home instead of going to eat dinner in the restaurant where they made reservations.“ What happened? ” Giana asks, slipping closer to me excitedly.I blink, clearing my foggy vision, and set my gaze on her. “ Nothing. ” “ The mark on her neck says otherwise. ” Natalie squeals like a fucking child. “ Our plan worked. ”“ Yes. Your plan of embarrassing me in front of Zero worked perfectly. ” I roll

    ANNE“ It’s the same again. ” Ryker sighs, his fingers pushing his messy hair back from his forehead.Just as he got there, he picked up Natalie and carried her back to the Night Walkers Pack. We all followed, worried for her baby and her health. She fainted somewhere along the way and the whole situation was alarming for everyone.Luciana said things were bad for some time. Her baby was chewing at her insides. I didn’t understand how she even called this fine after a while. She said it has stopped but Ryker says that this will happen again. Just as their baby gets hungry again, he will start chewing at her insides. That thought is scary. I know what needs to be done to stop it and this makes it even more dreadful for me.“ Gualterio doesn’t seem to want good relationships with us anymore. ” Ryker hisses all of a sudden.My attention is drawn to his rapidly color-changing eyes. Bile rises to my mouth but I push it down my throat, maintaining my calm and refusing to let panic consume

    ANNE I officially hate being carried around. Just like the last time, it takes me at least ten good minutes to grasp the reigns of my sanity. The lack of time makes me follow Zero inside the mansion even if all I want to do is to stop, breathe, and lie down. As I expected, the father and son duo are waiting for us in the same sitting area where Liam broke my spine. A smirk tugs the corners of Gualterio’s lips when he sees me trotting behind Zero. “ You came sooner than I expected. ” Liam chimes. “ Didn’t Anne stop you? ” The taunt does nothing to a calmly strolling Zero. His eyes remain fixed on his father who is relishing in the feeling of victory right now. My self-respect is battered and my pride wounded but to save Natalie and to remain by Zero’s side, I have to drink this poison and forget about all ideal terms not meant for someone like me. “ I am here. ” He stops and my nose bumps into his strong back. Wincing, I step back and rub the tip of my nose. If the situation

    ZEROI feel Anne’s warm body pressing into mine from behind and it’s like the dangerous daze breaks. I felt her pain tugging at my heart from afar and I almost drowned in misery and regret. When I saw my father choking her, the desire to snap his neck raised its head. Dread and anger became one. I was seeing red and I had lost control over myself.I can’t bear the thought of Anne getting hurt. If I hadn’t left her here, she wouldn’t have to go through something like this.“ D—Don’t do it. Please. Please, Zero. ” She pleads in her shaky voice. “ Leave him. ”As if I was only waiting for her to say this to me, I release Gualterio. He falls to the ground, the shadows leaving his body and dispersing into thin air.I blink to get rid of the black haziness as my hands instinctively wrap around Anne’s wrists. I almost killed my father because he hurt her. I don’t understand how I can lose control over the mere thought of seeing her in pain but I do. Always.Anne breathes against my back, h

    ANNEI huff as I lie down on the bed. Zero was gone when I came out of the bathroom after an hour of sulking under the shower. Zero is not making me feel bad about ditching him as I did and I have apologized and explained my side so I feel a little clear-headed now.The fact that he stopped when I asked and didn’t lash out at me is so satisfying. It must have felt like a slap to Gualterio’s face who thought I meant little to his son.Now that Vampire King asshole and his younger son know that Zero is into me and I am into him. They will have to stop trying to get between our bond.The other good thing is that Natalie is fine. Ryker texted me earlier so I am at ease about that.Turning and tossing in bed, I get tired of waiting for Zero. I fear he is down there somewhere, losing his control over the bloodthirst and killing humans mercilessly. I can’t feel his emotions so it only makes me feel like I am on the edge, about to fall off the cliff to my death.Pushing myself off the bed, I

    ANNEThe more Zero realized I needed him to confess his love to me, the more he started taking amusement out of my misery. I kept repeating I love you and he kept saying he knew with a stupid heart-stealing smile on his lips.I didn’t know a few words could make me so desperate and I didn’t know time could pass so fast. I am used to taking bath with Zero now like he said I will. He is always here. We sleep in the same bed, I wake up by his side every day, we smile, we laugh, and we walk together. Even Zero’s family has become bearable for me because Gualterio and Liam refrain from getting in my way after what Zero did to them three weeks ago.Natalie is about to give birth. And as usual, the Vampire King is eager to get Zero on the throne before that.I did discuss with Zero about the future. I told him what Liam had said to me about the whole age difference thing and then I found that little evil shit with a broken spine again. After that, Zero assured me that he had been reconnectin

  • Alpha's Claimed Mate   End Note

    HEY, lOVELIES! There is only so much that you can fit in a single Author's note so I am writing this end note separately. This book was indeed the most unplanned book I have written but it became the book I hold close to my heart. It's not only because I liked the characters but because I thought you all were connected to this story. I don't like writing sequels of a story but for this book, I made the exception and wrote a separate story for some side characters. I had attempted this for another book before but it didn't work out like this so I am glad that I was able to finish this story in the end. This was also the longest story I have written so I learned a lot from it and you all. Thank you everyone for joining me on this journey and for staying with me to the end! It meant a lot to me and I am expecting that you all will join me on the new journeys too. If you liked this book, do check out other books from me that are available on the Goodnovel app. Omega for the Alpha

  • Alpha's Claimed Mate   Epilogue

    ANNE ~SEVEN MONTHS LATER Sometimes, it’s hard to believe how a person can change so much. When I look at myself in the mirror these days, I find someone I don’t even know. Maybe, that’s what love does to people. It changes them, or perhaps, it brings the child out of them—the child they hide away from the world in hopes to protect the injured soul. Zero’s selfless love and unconditional support have brought out that child from inside my head. I am surprised to find that she is wounded, yes, but she is in the process of healing. It might take her a lifetime to heal but I don’t worry because I know he is here with me, and he will always be. Even when I was inside the labor room after six months, pushing and struggling to bring life out from inside me, I didn’t fear anything. I felt pain, in waves, and it made me almost pass out. It was the hardest thing I had done in my life, the most excruciating but it was fine because he was there with me. I clenched his hand with each push. I

    ZERO “ I am pregnant, Zero. ” She repeats in a calmer tone. I hear her jumpy, loud heartbeat and try to search for my own. I think my heart has stopped beating. “ I found out two days ago and came to tell you. ” She is saying things. I see her lips moving, her brows jumping up and down, her nose scrunching with each word she is uttering but I can’t make sense of any of it. I am trying to hear my thoughts or the beat of my heart. The shocking silence is making me feel as if I am traveling through space, through the stars and galaxies and universes and it means nothing and everything to me. My heart finally beats. Anne is still saying things and I still can’t hear. I leave her hands. My arms coil around her waist, pulling her flush against me. I don’t know if she has stopped talking or not. I don’t know anything. I don’t want to know anything else. My eyes close as a breath escapes my mouth. My heart beats in my ears as different emotions rush through my head at the same time.

    ZEROWhy did I think she will let me rest?She starts poking my side as soon as I go silent. “ Zero. Talk to me. ” I let out a soft breath and keep my eyes closed. I am in no mood to listen to her tonight.“ I am sorry. ” She pokes my ribs with her forefinger.“ I will never do it. I promise. I will die before hurting you. ” Another poke.“ I know you can hear me. Stop acting like a baby. ” She groans, poking me once more.“ You are annoying me right now. ” I utter.She stops poking me all of sudden. I finally breathe in relief. “ Am I really annoying you? ” She asks in a gentle whisper.The muscles in my bare shoulders clench. I push my arm off my eyes and open them to look at her.It’s fine as long as she is annoying and not hurt. I don’t want to hurt her.“ Anne…” I sigh, not knowing what I want to tell her.She rolls her eyes at me before pushing herself closer. I squeeze my lips, narrowing my eyes slightly.Her lips morph into a sneaky grin. She swings her leg over my torso. He

    ANNEA knock sounds on the car’s window. I yelp, pulling back and glancing at Liam who is smirking.He is unaffected by the rain wetting him. His meaningful gaze switches between me and Zero. I gulp, pushing myself off Zero’s lap and back onto the passenger’s seat.Liam steps back as Zero drives the car through the open door and stops in the driveway. I sigh, stealing a glance at my mate.I thought I was doing things for the better, but I was only running away. It took me only a fucking week to realize I don’t care what the fuck happens. I want him by my side and I can never imagine a life without him.Now, when I am carrying our child, I feel the need to be close to him even more. It’s not just love anymore…it’s also a sense of stability and a family that I seek in Zero. He opens the door and steps out without looking at me. I release another sigh and step out, following him.Liam appears beside me, his wet hair falling over his forehead.“ So you two were fighting. I was right. ” H

    ZEROI have never disliked anything about Anne. Everything she did, every decision she made, every harsh word she uttered at me didn’t matter to me until what she did a week ago.A week ago, I felt the weight of her words pushing me to my knees for the first time. I disliked what she did. And I didn’t feel like following her as she asked.It took me a few hours to finally understand what it was that I felt. I was angry. Maybe no. I was fuming, my blood was running hot in my veins. Just as she had uttered hurtful words at me, I wanted to do the same.I had gone to do just that when I left that place abruptly, but when I reached the Night Walker Pack and saw her, the anger went to the back of my head.I was still angry but taking out that anger on Anne would never happen. Hurting her would break my heart.I realized she didn’t mean anything she said right when she was uttering those words. The thing I disliked the most was the fact that she was not behaving like the usual selfish woman

    ANNEIt takes me a few hours to get to the vampire territory. My heart continues to pump blood at the speed of lightning. The thought of seeing him after what I said that day is killing me but even for my own selfish reasons, I need to know he is doing fine.As I drive the car towards the huge gates of the mansion, the vampires push it open, letting me inside. My heart begins beating faster than before. I turn off the engine when I am in the driveway.Wiping my sweaty hands over my jeans, I open the door and step out only to meet Liam who is rushing to me. In a familiar gesture, his arms are engulfing me in a hug.I sigh, not finding it in myself to get angry today.“ How have you been, sweet Anne? ” He questions, smiling genuinely.“ I thought you didn’t like me anymore. ” I let out, taking a step back.“ Oh, that was some angry banter. Don’t take it to heart. ” He flaps his hand in the air before he is dragging me inside the mansion where his parents await me.My eyes nervously roam

    ANNEHe let me leave. I didn’t waste a moment and left him there. He was better off without me. I should have realized this sooner.A week has passed since that Goddess awful day yet my heart still hurts the same. A little part of me even wanted Zero to follow me. I didn’t think it was this easy to push him away.When I left the vampire territory, I was not sure where I wanted to go. At that moment, Natalie called me and asked me to come to her. She was in pain again but this time, it was labor pain.For some time, I forgot about my misery and stood outside her hospital room as she screamed in agony. Ryker was by her side for hours straight.Her labor was prolonged. Giving birth to a hybrid was hard for her but she survived. And gave birth to a blue-eyed angel.
