ZIVA

Possibly, Alexei was covering up for his brother, Xander. So, I gave Alexei a deadly glare to make him confess.

“I didn't say anything,” Alexei repeated.

“You mentioned that he had lipstick stains on his lips a few seconds ago,” I muttered.

“It was a mistake,” He replied with wide-opened eyes.

Sounds like a lie. “Just tell me the truth, Alexei.”

“Alright,” He sighed, attempting to say the truth faster than I expected. I leaned forward to listen attentively.

He let out a sigh, and voiced out, “Ziva, Bother is having an affair behind your back.”

I gasped, and my heart sank. Tears formed in my eyes immediately. I knew it! My instincts were right! Xander left to be with his mistress. He is cheating.

I sobbed inwardly, almost breaking out physically.

I know I have been adamant about not consummating our marriage, and I termed it as fake or forced. But that doesn't mean that he should go ahead to have an affair.

“I am to be blamed,” Alexei continued. I blinked the tears in my eyes aw

    XANDER“Yes, they were. But it was a mistake,” Alpha Darwin replied, and a loud bang echoed.The Alpha who was announcing roared, “Stop your nonsense! We came here to assemble and work together, not pick a fight and scatter!”The Alpha antagonizing Alpha Darwin became quiet, and Alpha Darwin fell silent.The announcing Alpha continued, “As I said earlier, Alpha Nikolas’s pack was attacked. You know, he has been a very good contributor to some pack’s Alpha and it will be great to help his pack while he needs urgent help.”“His pack is good as dead. Is it still possible to save the pack?” An Alpha voiced out.“Yes, it's possible,” The announcing Alpha nodded, “Right now, Alpha Nikolas and a few of his pack members are hiding. However, the Bloodbath pack had surrounded the pack, causing them to be unable to leave because they had only a few warriors with them.”“What a coward...” The antagonizing Alpha sneered silently, “He saved himself, but he could not save the pack. Very irresponsible

    ZIVA The moon hung low in the sky, and it marked another night without being able to get hold of the Crystal Moon in that room. I looked through the window and noticed an expensive car moving through the driveway. It halted and a silhouette figure stepped out of it.Could that be Alpha Xander?I walked out of my room and hurried toward the entrance. I heard footsteps approach me, and I looked.Then, I spotted Alpha Xander with a woman by his side. The woman looked gorgeous and slim as Alexei described. My heart squeezed at that moment.Was this the same woman who kissed Alpha Xander? Alpha Xander assisted her to walk into the mansion. Upon seeing me, he paused and the woman standing next to him furrowed her brows.“Who is she?” The woman asked, with curiosity tinged in her voice.He turned to her with a smile, “It’s a long story-”My heart broke. That was the same way Nikolas denied my relationship with him when he was with Tania.My eyes watered, but I held back my tears. I walked

    ZIVA“I also don't want to be here. Now get up, and get dressed. The Omegas are organizing a party, so you should be prepared,” Anji spoke quickly. Crossing the room, she picked up the soft, fluffy blanket and carried it over to the bed carefully. Draping it over the mattress, she smoothed it out, ensuring that it was perfectly straightened and covered the entire surface.“Party? Why are they organizing a party?” I questioned curiously. Anji turned away from the bed, and replied, “A welcome party for the Alpha’s mate.”“Oh...” I moved away from the bed and approached Anji, “Speaking about that, have Nikolas’s pack been rescued?” “Not yet. The packs that attacked are very strong, they can't surrender to others easily. Even Nikolas and a few of his warriors are in hiding.”“Great, that must be such a relief to Alpha Darwin.”“Pfft... Tania is missing, adding more fuel to the fire. She can't mind link anyone, and possibly, she had been captured by that awful Bloodbath pack.” Anji voice

    ZIVAThe party began swiftly...Everyone in the ballroom looked excited, most especially Rose. She had her arm linked around Alpha Xander’s elbow as they walked and discussed with other influential werewolves. Tsk, she didn't even wear the dress I chose earlier.I glanced down at everyone and became anxious. Will I really leave this pack after the divorce? I shook my head, repeating the same statement to myself.“You are not needed or wanted. You should leave.”I heard a loud exhale, as a masculine voice muttered, “So pathetic. I can't believe that she is back in this pack.”The voice sounded close. I looked at my side and spotted Alexei in a black tuxedo.“You came back. You didn't tell me that you got discharged from the hospital,” I told him. Alexei raised an eyebrow and grumbled, “I thought you and Brother wanted me to live in the hospital until the end of my days.” I waved my hands, telling him the truth quickly, “We will never want that.”“Pfft... That's the impression I go

    XANDERI exhaled, and Rose raised her gaze.“And you know what's worse?” Rose continued, her voice growing more and more agitated. “Since she doesn't have you, she's going after your brother!”At that moment, my temper flared and I snapped, “Enough! Just stop it.”Rose's jaw dropped and she blinked in shock. ”Wait, what? Why should I stop?”She let out a gasp, “Don’t tell me you are blindly supporting her... Oh, wait.” She glanced up, and stared at me with suspicion in her eyes, “Have you both been intimate?!”My eyebrows shot up in disbelief. I couldn't believe that she would even think such a thing, let alone say it out loud. “What? No, of course not! That's ridiculous! What kind of person do you think I am?” I sputtered.Rose hesitated, looking slightly abashed. “I'm sorry. I just... I don't know. I'm just worried about you and me, and I don't want you to be with another woman. I just... I'm not sure about her.”With that, she sprang to her feet and walked away. Meanwhile, I took

    ZIVAObviously, it's fake! I was a fool. Now, how do I return this without being caught or termed as a thief?I paced around the room, thinking of what to do. Perhaps I should confess to Alpha Xander?No, no, the humiliation is too much to bear. Or... I should cook up a lie... No, he won't believe me. Goodness, I will be regarded as a thief forever!I heard a creak from the door. I turned and saw Anji at the doorway. Hastily, I approached her and let her in before trembling like a jellyfish.“Anji,” I sobbed, “I’m doomed.”I cried in her arms and caught her rolling her eyes. She huffed, “Is this still about Alpha Xander’s mate?”“No, it's something awful,” I cried and moved away from the embrace. I glanced at my arms with teary eyes, as I continued, “I committed a crime. Now, I will be beheaded.”“Beheaded by who? Will you stop beating around the bush?” Anji scolded, like a mother would do to her child.I had no other option than to confess because I innocently needed a solution.“I

    ZIVAMy phone beeped loudly. I gazed at it and I saw a message, a message with the title;~FROM ROSE~The message had a video attached to it. I played it and realized that it was a video recording of Rose and Alpha Xander.She showed him the fake Crystal Moon and lied, “I saw a bag filled with these last night. So, I took it, and decided to hand it over.”Alpha Xander kissed her cheeks and spoke calmly, “You are such a darling. I assumed that it was stolen.”He exhaled, blindly believing his mate, Rose. “I guess the thief was right about dropping it.” Then, the video paused and it got deleted. I could not view the video anymore and Rose sent a smiley sticker.‘Your first mission starts tonight.’ I read aloud from Rose’s new messages.‘An Omega will be before your door within a minute. Grab the box she gives and text me.’‘Is this some kind of game?’ I messaged her.‘No questions, just do as I say!’Just then, a knock echoed on the door. I reached for it and opened the door.

    ZIVARose rushed towards me with her hand raised in the air. As she swung her arm towards my face, I ducked and turned my head, bracing myself for the sting of her palm against my cheek. But the pain never came. Instead, I felt a rush of air and heard a sharp gasp from Rose.I glanced up and noticed that Rose stood before me with her hand frozen in the air. Also, Alpha Xander grabbed her wrist, as he stepped between us.“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Rose's voice rose to a shriek as she struggled against Alpha Xander's grip.Meanwhile, Alpha Xander spoke to me with a firm tone, “You need to leave.”I didn't hesitate to listen. I moved away and rushed out of the room since that was the only option I had. As soon as I reached my room, I locked the door and heaved a sigh of relief. If I stayed there earlier than I did, Rose would have attacked me even though I had no idea about how I and Alpha Xander got involved in this. Everything seemed so messed up.

    ZAREK The hall had emptied, leaving behind a quiet that felt almost sacred. The day had been full of energy and celebration, but now, with everyone gone, it was just Tania and me. The air was calm, and I could feel the weight of the moment settling in. I turned to her, my heart steady. This wasn’t going to be a surprise—after all, her mother had practically announced my intentions earlier. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was what I had to say, and how much I wanted to share this with her.“Let’s take a walk,” I suggested, squeezing her hand gently.She looked at me, her eyes warm and trusting, and nodded. We made our way up the grand staircase to the top floor, where the large windows offered a clear view of the night sky. The moon hung low, casting its soft light across the polished floors, creating an intimate, almost magical atmosphere.Tania turned to me, curiosity in her gaze. “What are you up to, Zarek?”I chuckled softly. “I know your mother already spilt the beans

    ZAREK “Mum, what’s going on here?” Tania asked, her brows furrowing in concern.Tania’s mother looked up, a touch of defensiveness in her tone. “I was just discussing your engagement plans with Zarek. Don’t I have the right to know?”Tania opened her mouth to protest, but I stepped in to diffuse the situation. “It’s fine, Tania. There’s nothing wrong with discussing it. And yes, I do have plans to propose.”Tania’s eyes widened slightly with surprise, then softened as she looked at me. Her mother let out a sigh of relief. “Alright then,” she said, giving a small nod before walking away, leaving us in the midst of the bustling crowd.Tania tugged gently at my hand, guiding me towards the photo op area. As we walked, I couldn’t help but ask, “You’re not worried about the delay in the proposal, are you?”She shook her head, a light smile on her lips. “No, not at all. A normal relationship takes about two years before a proposal is made, so this is pretty standard. Besides, you’ve been

    ZAREKTime passed, and the weight of justice finally settled.With Boss and Alpha Barral behind bars, the world felt a little safer, a little lighter.Then, a loud, booming voice echoed through the hall: “Alpha Zarek!”The words reverberated off the high ceilings and marble floors, sending a shiver down my spine.In an instant, the hall erupted into thunderous applause, a sound filled with appreciation and respect. I let the waves of applause wash over me, taking a moment to soak it all in.This moment felt surreal, almost like a dream, yet the warmth of the applause and the shining eyes of Xander and his Luna, Ziva, reassured me that it was real. The pride that radiated from them confirmed everything I had fought for.I took a deep breath, savouring the moment, then began my walk to the stage.The crowd parted, clearing a path for me, their eyes full of admiration and respect. As I climbed the steps, the weight of responsibility settled on my shoulders, but it was a burden I was re

    ZAREK I held my breath. Alpha Rowan? I had heard of him—a powerful Alpha who was supposed to have been killed along with his wife. But this? It didn’t make any sense.“That’s impossible. He and his wife were killed,” I said, my voice barely audible.“They were,” Lizzy confirmed, her eyes darkening with the weight of the truth. “Nikolas’s father and boss conspired to kill Alpha Rowan and his wife as part of a twisted plan to seize power. When the plan went south and Boss was discarded, he hid the truth from you to protect his own agenda.”The room felt like it was spinning, with the walls closing in as the reality of her words sank in. I felt like I was falling, unable to grasp anything solid. The man who raised me, who trained me, who I trusted—he’d kept this from me my entire life. I had lived in the shadow of a lie. “So, everything I thought I knew... was a lie?”Lizzy nodded; her expression pained. “He kept you in the dark because he didn’t want you to know where you really

    ZAREK Tania’s breath hitched, her eyes searching mine for any hint of a joke. But this was no time for jokes, no room for lies.“Assassins?” she whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief.“Yes,” I confirmed, leaning in closer, my tone even. “We’re trained, skilled, and we do whatever it takes—robbing, stealing, destroying.”“The man Lizzy killed was sent to take us out. He murdered Ramirez and Bruce, and he wouldn’t have stopped until he succeeded.”As I spoke, I watched as Tania’s expression shift—a collision of shock and confusion. I could see her trying to piece it all together with the revelation I had just dropped. “What? This whole time?” She asked.I nodded, feeling the weight of my own words. I never wanted her to find out like this. Not like this. But there was no going back now. “I never wanted you to find out this way, but it’s the truth. There’s more, though, Tania.” I paused, grappling with the right words. How do you explain the darkest parts of yourself to so

    ZAREK We stood there for a long moment, wrapped in each other's arms, the tension and fear melting away.The tremble in Tania's shoulders stilled, and when she finally pulled back, her eyes, once clouded with tears, had cleared.“I met Lizzy recently,” she whispered. The words startled me, and I felt my pulse quicken.“Lizzy? Is she alright?” I asked, searching her face for answers.The thought of anything happening to Lizzy sent a jolt of panic through me. I needed to know if she was okay.Tania nodded, “Yes, she came here with me.”As she spoke, the tightness in my chest eased, replaced by a wave of relief. If Lizzy was with Tania, then she had to be safe.Afterwards, I noticed that she shifted her gaze to what was behind me. Her expression shifted to a mix of relief and something else.Concerned, I followed her line of sight, and turned to see Lizzy.She stood in the doorway, her eyes locked on me. She didn't seem hurt or weary. She seemed rather strong. Stronger than I remembered

    ZAREK The memory of the man on the phone lingered. Whoever he was, he felt more like a conspirator.And then there was Dr. Everett, standing before me with that unnerving calm, as if everything was perfectly under control.Something didn’t add up.“Are you even a specialist?” The question slipped out before I could stop myself.Dr. Everett’s expression turned mocking. “That’s a good question.” He leaned in, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Is the Medical Arts Building even real? Am I the real Dr. Everett?”My mind raced. The Medical Arts Building isn’t real?Confusion clouded my thoughts. “What are you talking about?”“This is all just a game,” he said with a casual shrug.“What?” I said, bewildered.Dr. Everett’s back was now turned to me as he moved towards a distant table.“Wait a minute,” I said slowly, dread creeping in. “You’re not Dr. Everett, are you?”He didn’t respond; his focus absorbed in whatever he was searching for. The metallic clinks filled the silence.Then, his l

    ZAREK The pungent smell of blood jolted me awake, making my stomach turn. I immediately started coughing uncontrollably, and blood spilt out of my mouth with each rasp.Even when I tried to push myself up, my arms barely responded, quivering under the strain.I felt weak—far weaker than usual. Had I injured myself during the transformation?I shook my head slightly, trying to recall. But the memories were hazy, blurred by pain.The only clear memory was how I had hurt Tania—or, worse, maybe even killed her.The thought hit me like a sledgehammer: my claws slicing through the air... her lifeless form.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the images, but they burned behind my eyelids, searing into my mind.I forced myself to focus, to push past the rising wave of guilt. I had to find out where I was and what had happened. But as I shifted, pain flared in my wrists, snapping me back to the present.I looked down and saw silver cuffs clamped tightly around them.Why am I cuff

    TANIA I slowly opened my eyes, only to be stabbed by a bright light that made me wince. For a moment, I lay there, trying to let my senses adjust.Taking a deep breath, I raised my head and attempted to sit up, but the effort sent the room into a dizzying swirl of colours and shapes. My strength faltered, and I fell back against the pillow, my head sinking into its softness.As I lay there, my hand instinctively moved to my cheek, where a dull ache pulsed beneath the surface. I traced the tender skin, feeling the faint ridges where claws had raked across it.The memory of that searing pain was still vivid, as was the look on Zarek's face—his eyes wild and uncontrolled, filled with a terror I had never seen before.A shudder ran through me at the thought, and my heart began to race. Despite the dizziness, I forced myself to sit up again, driven by my concern for Zarek.I needed to see him.I sat up, and slowly, the room gradually came into focus. I took in the sterile white walls
