What do you all think? Is Anne about to betray Zero? 🥺 Let me know in the comments and reviews. Love you all ❤️
ANNE “ Put me down.” I sigh as we get close to my room. My hands move to my cheeks to wipe the tears. It’s so weird to cry all the time. “ Are you already done pretending? ” He turns his head at me, giving me a knowing look. I gulp, staring at his face from so close. It’s strange that he, sometimes, figures things out without me having to tell him about what’s going on. “ Did I pretend to be weak enough? ” I wonder if the Vampire King could see right through my dramatic crying as Zero can. He doesn’t answer. My eyes move towards his neck, the vein pulsing in it as he moves his head back. I know I will feel the pain again when he finally puts me down. It might take a lot of time for me to heal on my own given that my healing process is shitty due to the low—born hereditary traits. I lean in and place my lips over his neck. He hisses as my lips meet his cold skin. A jolt of electricity rushes down my spine as I open my mouth and start trying to nibble on it. My heartbeat skyrock
ANNEThird time throwing up in the same hour and I feel dead. The broken bone in my spine was better than this.I sigh when my stomach refuses to send the non—existent food hurling out of my mouth for the fourth time. Leaning back, I collapse on the cold tiles of the attached bathroom. My eyes move towards Zero who is standing in the doorway like a statue, his gaze fixed on me.I would have felt better if he was at least smug or saying things like ‘ I told you ’ but he is silent, still, and watching me. At my worst. Throwing up again and again.This is so embarrassing.“ What did Ryker say? ” I scrunch my nose, getting disgusted by my own stinky breath, the metallic taste lingering on my tongue, and my aching throat.“ He is going to look for her right away. ” He informs me.I told Zero everything that happened downstairs. I thought he will be shocked but he was calm and I was the one panicking.He didn’t even display any anger. He simply went into the rational mode where he called Ry
ANNEAll of a sudden, he leans in, our faces brushing as he whispers in my ear. “ She is coming here. Don’t speak so loud. ” I stumble back on my feet after he is done stealing my soul by rasping in my ear. For a torturous moment, I thought he didn’t like the idea of me talking about Liam like this.We exchange a knowing look before he takes a step back, noticing my discomfort due to his closeness to my blazing body.A knock sounds on the door, drawing my attention. Peeling my gaze off Zero, I fix it on the door. The person on the other side knocks one more time, politely.Sucking in a deep, calming breath, I stomp to the door and pull it open.“ Anne. ” Freya gasps on the other side, her hands clasped together in front of her stomach and a weak smile plastered over her lips.Many curse words run through my head but I hold them in. I can do it for Giana—I have to play safe and good until I have her back.“ Yes? ” I smile back. I am good at acting. I always was. There is no way she
ZEROI left her room after warning her to stay away from my life.When she has already confessed her undying hate for me numerous times, there is no point in her interference in my matters. But, she wants to know what I feel about my family. She wants me to hurt them if the situation requires it and she needs to be sure that I will not hesitate in doing so.She doesn’t need to worry about this. I will do what is required of me if I need to. There is nothing holding me back. Not any kind of affection at least.The night has fallen on the mansion once more. It’s time for them to swarm the place again. Anne picked up a fight with Ava yesterday. Tonight, she might appear to take revenge on her. Either by herself or by using someone else.So, I have to give up on indulging in drinking fresh human blood which I avoided after waking up from my personal hell. Ryker and I lived on stored blood or animal blood. After coming here and witnessing bloodshed almost every day, it became impossible
ZEROI scan her face, wanting to know if she was serious about sleeping together.“ I mean. Lie down on the bed beside me while I sleep. ” She understands where my mind went and instantly elaborates.I knew she didn’t mean it that way. Although the bond draws her to me, she is too stubborn to actually want to sleep with me.Without saying a word, I move past her and remove my shoes before lying down on the bed. My eyes move to the ceiling in silence.“ I thought you will refuse. ” She muses while making her way to the other side of the bed. I place my hands over my stomach, lying still on my back and keeping my gaze straight and away from her body. Her flowery wild scent spreads around me, all inside me even when I try to keep my head distracted.“ You watched me sleeping many times before. I bet it’s not even weird for you anymore. ” Mumbling, she pulls the duvet up her body.I don’t stop her from covering half my body too. It’s strange for werewolves to sleep under heavy blankets b
ANNEWaking up in the morning and not during the night was kind of new after three months of sleepless nights. And seeing Zero’s stoic face first thing in the morning was even newer.I almost screamed my lungs out but my mind registered everything quickly and I sufficed with only gasping and untangling my body from his.He got up and left without delay. He didn’t even say a thing to me which was awkward. I didn’t say anything to him either. I was too busy letting the thought of hugging him to sleep sink in. I must have lost my mind when I saw him outside my room last night. I was vulnerable in front of him, I told him things I barely ever tell even myself and I asked him to sleep with me. Shit.But, I don’t regret it. He listened to me, didn’t laugh at my weakness, and actually held me like he cared about me. So, okay. It’s all fine and good.I still feel like screaming my lungs out though. It’s all so unreal.Anyway, I have to push all this aside and get to work. The first thing I
ANNE“ He met the witch a few days ago. ” The Vampire King sighs, as I sit down on the couch after getting persuaded by Giana to listen to everything he has to tell me.“ Which witch? ” I lift my brow.“ Edith. She lives close by. ” He reveals. “ she is an alliance. She came here a few days ago to tell us about the shift in the stars and the prophecy about a new Vampire King after centuries. ” “ So? ” I frown.“ He met her and asked her about the sleep-inducing spell. ” He discloses.“ What sleep-inducing spell? ” My heart misses a beat.“ The one he had been under. For centuries. He gave her money, and she told him everything he needed to know. ” The King stares at me coldly.“ He must be…curious to know about the spell. What about it? ” I don’t think there is anything wrong here.He shakes his head. “ you don’t know what he said to his mother when he found her alive. ” I look at Zio, who is listening to everything keenly, and then at Giana, who is frowning hard. “ He told her…he
Hey Readers! I wanted to inform you all that there won't be a chapter tonight because I am not feeling too well. Also, I read some comments about dragging the book and so. The story just started and I can only ask you all to be a little patient. Besides, this won't be a long story like Ryker and Natalie's book. I am planning on keeping Anne and Zero's story short because I have to move on to a new, separate book. I hope you all bear with me until this book is done. Thanks for Reading and Voting! Love you all! ❤️ ~S.Y
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
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. Rhys Ambrose—Natalie and Ryker named their son together.Ryker had stepped out of the room with his baby only when Natalie had fallen asleep under the influence of some potions. My heart had filled with so much happiness for my
