XANDER
The taste of the whiskey was bitter and the alcohol in it gave a warm and tingling sensation on my tongue. As I sipped the whiskey, the anger seemed to leave my body. Peace enveloped me as I sipped, causing me to focus on the present moment.I heard the sound of the heavy wooden door opening, the hinges creaking as the door slowly swung open. My ears perked up, and I turned to see who had entered the bar.Lance walked in, his eyes blinking rapidly as they adjusted to the dim light of the bar. I watched him survey the room, his gaze finally coming to rest on me. He approached the bar stool and sat down opposite me as his chair scraped against the wooden floor."Rough day?" he asked.I glanced up, ensuring that my expression was cold, just as the way I felt to his question."Mind your business," I replied quickly, not caring if my tone wasRelated chapters

XANDER“Is everything okay?” the driver asked, glancing at Ziva in the rear-view mirror.“Just keep driving,” I said firmly, and the driver obeyed, turning his attention back to the road.I leaned over and pressed the button that rolled down the passenger window, hoping that some fresh air would help Ziva feel better. Wind gushed into the car, and a sigh of relief let out from Ziva’s lips just as I expected. “Much better...” she uttered softly, her eyes closed and her head resting against the headrest. Then, I could analyze her properly. Her dress was unbuttoned, almost exposing her skin, so I told her.“Button up your dress,” I spoke, keeping my eyes fixed on the trees outside the window.“Done!” I heard her chuckle. I turned, facing her only to spot more buttons on her dress that were undone. With that, she chuckled like a baby.

XANDERI opened the drawer with a smooth glide, revealing the contents inside. Without wasting time, I picked up the syringe, needle, and the small bottle that accompanied it. Hastily, I inserted the needle into the bottle, and pulled back on the plunger, drawing the liquid in the bottle into the syringe.I inserted the needle into the vein in my arm, and pushed the plunger.As soon as I injected the liquid into my vein, my hands became weak. I dropped the syringe involuntarily, and slumped, with darkness creeping at the edges of my eyes.“Finally taking a break from pack works, uh? I guess Mr. Workaholic decided to have some time for himself.” Lance mind-linked.“Shut it, it’s too early for this,” I replied, flickering my eyes open.“Early? it's late afternoon.” Lance mind-linked back.“Afterno

ZIVAThe Alpha is as cold as he has always been. But today was somewhat different. His eyes didn't speak anger this time, he seemed to be more worried than angry. I walked out of the dining hall, having eaten my food to my satisfaction.I reached the staircase, attempting to go to my room, and prepare for the guest Alpha Xander spoke about. As I took a step, about to ascend to my room, I heard a whisper from somewhere nearby. It was followed by a low chuckle, as if someone were trying to hold back their laughter.“Lady Ziva looked so cute!” the voice squealed again, this time even louder.“Shh!” another voice hissed with an annoyed tone. “Do you want everyone to hear you?”I moved back, turning toward the direction of the voices. Then, I realized that the owners of the voices were in a room. I crept closer to listen. Pressing myself against the

ZIVAI looked at Anji’s phone screen, wanting to see the pictures she talked about. Some pictures appeared on the screen, causing my jaw to drop at that moment.It was a picture of Alpha Xander carrying me in his arms. The picture swiped off and a new photo appeared on the screen, this time showing me lying on a bed, Alpha Xander's face hovering just above mine. We were both gazing at each other, and there was no sign of anger or coldness in his eyes while he was staring at me. His face spelled more of peaceful.I grabbed Anji’s phone from Anji and gazed at the huge amount of reactions the pictures had. The comment section alone was filled. It prompted my mind to read the comments and when I did, I only saw good comments. The comments were filled with admiration, but they also mentioned that they had never seen me among celebrities or billiona

ZIVAI gazed at the pop-up and spotted Sender - Unknown number. Weird? I looked down at the message and the first line was, [From Alpha Xander]I almost screamed at the sight of his name. Was Anji right? Did she really give him my phone number?Oh, goodness, should I check the message or simply ignore it for my mental peace's sake? I do not want to see anything that will put me down and make me feel like trash, as Alpha Xander makes me feel. What can I do then? The message might contain a piece of important information.I paced to and fro in the room, with my hand rubbing my chin as I thought. I thought, and checking Alpha Xander’s message was the right decision. Carefully clicking on the message box, a message application appeared, one I'd never seen before.I guess that the messages at the bottom were from Al

ZIVAAfter the whole dancing and ceremony ended, I excused myself, feeling frustrated with the heaps of glittering sand that were dashed at my body.Surprisingly, as soon as I left the place, my phone rang with Dad's name and a love emoji on the screen. It was a call from Alpha Darwin. Finally!I pressed the answer button instantly. Then I spoke clearly, my voice tinged with annoyance. “Weren't you ignoring my calls, Alpha Darwin?”“Why would I ignore my daughter's call? I was busy,” Alpha Darwin replied, causing me to scoff.“I need to speak with you,” I uttered, trying to keep my frustration and anger in check.“Right now?” Alpha Darwin asked.“Yes, now. Face to face,” I insisted.“Alright, but you're new to the pack. Will you know the way around?” Alpha Darwin inquired, concern evident in his voice. He must be pretending to care about me, because of the fear of being overheard. Ugh... He is just like Tania, perfect family!Rolling my eyes, I snapped, “Anji will come with me.”“Did

ZIVACrystal Moon?“What are you talking about?” I questioned, with curiosity tinged in my voice. I was a bit confused with what the Crystal Moon meant when he spoke that way, and he mentioned that I would be stealing it.“For some months now, Xander has been triumphant during some wars with other packs, and I've been curious. I'm certain that he deals with magic, and the Crystal Moon is with him.” Alpha Darwin narrated in a low tone.“What's this Crystal Moon you are chanting about?” I questioned, feeling annoyed. Suddenly, he stood and clasped his hand on my mouth.“Shush, people can hear you.”Alpha Darwin uttered, causing a quizzical look to appear on my face.Is the Crystal Moon so powerful that I can't say it out loud?“Sit,” Alpha Darwin ordered, as he gestured to the other chair. I sat and he sat on the opposite chair.“Many years ago...” Alpha Darwin uttered. I sighed inwardly. This was what happened whenever he wanted to tell a bedtime story. At that time, I was younger, and

ZIVAAs soon as I turned around, the appearance of what I saw took me aback. Four large wolves were approaching us like a predator would to his prey.One of the wolves, who seemed to be walking with the other wolves moved before them. It let a low, rumbling growl and instantly, I heard Anji scream, “Run!”Then, I heard her footsteps rushing away. Instead of running, I stayed glued to the floor, staring at the large, dark wolves that were hopping towards me. Their faces were contorted with anger and their appearance alone was terrifying. I yelled to myself inwardly to run, but foolishly I didn't.Suddenly, a wave pushed past me, and I was not glued to the floor anymore. I raised my gaze, realizing that the modern landscape I had seen earlier was transformed into a local one, one with tall trees and trees alone.I was moving quickly too, and my body was above something soft... Fur. I was on a wolf. Oh my! Am I being kidnapped by a wolf?!“Help!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, int
