Zephyr was scared out of his wits. How could she suddenly lose consciousness when there was nothing wrong with her? He was about to call Chris through the mind link but his wolf, Fenir stopped him."Don't call Chris" Fenir said."What do you mean by that?! Can you not see that she's unconscious." He growled at his wolf. "I should just let her be?""It's not a medical issue. You need Gwydion at the moment" Fenir advised."How is Gwydion useful in this situation?""He's the one who can help you. You know I'm never wrong" Fenir boastedZephyr paused for a while, weighing Fenir's words. It really didn't seem like it was something medical given the way her eyes were blood shot and how she calmed down after their kiss, then suddenly she fainted.He gathered Bellona in his arms and walked into his room then carefully laid her on the bed then he proceeded to mind link Lucian to come with Gwydion to his room.Not long after, they both knocked on the door and entered afterwards."She fainted ag
Nimue pulled her hair in frustration. She had used all her powers to cast the spell on Bellona and she was extremely sure it'd work. So how did Bellona manage to overcome it? She knew it was with Zephyr's help and that only added to her anger. That person was right, Bellona and Zephyr really did strengthen themselves.Bellona being with Zephyr would only help to nullify all the magic she had used on Bellona thereby making her to come to her senses. It'd cause her plan to fail and she knew how Bellona could be. If she ever found out she was used, she wouldn't take it likely.Nimue groaned. She didn't want that. She needed to separate them as soon as possible but how would she do that? She began to rack her brain for a solution and almost immediately, she got an idea.Antonio! Yes, Antonio. He was the perfect person. She was well aware of Antonio's feelings for Bellona and how he was willing to do anything to be with her. She had previously ignored his behavior to Bellona since it was
Antonio stood impatiently while waiting for Nimue to finish her preparations. They were currently at Nimue's place since she said that's where they'd further their plan.He didn't know what she was working on neither did he know what the plan was but he still stood there, waiting. He didn't mind. He could do anything as long as he'd be with Bellona at the very end."What are you working on? Is it dangerous?" He asked, not because he was scared but because he wanted to prepare himself for what he'd face."It's nothing dangerous. You don't need to stress" Nimue reassured him. After a while of preparation, Nimue was finally done. "Stand here" She instructed him and he obeyed and went to stand where Nimue had pointed out.The spot was marked with white chalk and there rested a shiny silver mirror on a stone altar."What's this?" Antonio asked. This was nothing like he had expected. He didn't want to be part of Nimue's witchcraft. "Is this some sort of ritual?"Nimue laughed out loud. "
Through the next day, Bellona kept debating if she'd go with Antonio's plan. They had agreed to carry out her escape today, when the sun had set because by then, everyone would be in their place of rest.She was meant to be happy and excited that she had finally seen a way to leave Zephyr's pack but strangely enough, she felt sad and reluctant. The feeling surprised her.Had she grown so attached to Zephyr that it was no so difficult to leave? No, it couldn't be.She didn't know why but she felt unwilling to leave because she felt free there not with Nimue who's aura made her feel caged and suppressed.But she had no other choice but to leave. Although she wished to stay back, she couldn't possibly let Antonio's efforts go in vain. She couldn't also risk his life because she knew how persistent Antonio was.If she decided to stay back, he'd think Zephyr was keeping her against her will then he'd put up a fight and she didn't want that. It could cost him his life.Bellona finally made
"What?" Jake asked surprised.Zephyr didn't wait to listen to any of their words as he dashed out and raced to Bellona's room.Jake and Lucian followed him immediately without hesitation. They were his subordinate for a reason.Zephyr's heart pounded in his chest as he ran. He couldn't think of the possibility that Bellona was missing. What if she was truly missing, what would he do? How would he survive?He pushed the door open and rushed in. He scanned the room and when he didn't find her, he strode to the bathroom and found it empty.He came back to the room and turned it upside down whilst searching for her. He searched the closet, under the bed and wherever he could think of."What are you doing standing there? Help me search for her!" He growled at Lucian and Jake who were standing by the door."You" He pointed at Lucian. "Go with the guards and search for her."Lucian nodded and quickly left to carry out the order.Zephyr was hysterical. He was going crazy. How did Bellona man
Alpha Noah and his daughter, Olivia hadn't rested properly since the day Zephyr dove into the pool to save Bellona.Not only were they furious, they were also embarrassed because they had bragged to people that Olivia was Zephyr's future Luna but now, all their hopes and dreams had come crashing down.Alpha Noah himself kept wondering who the girl was. Who was she to Zephyr that he didn't hesitate to dive into the pool and for her sake, he called off the mate ball. Could it be that she was his mate?That was the only possible explanation for it. But, if the girl was his mate, why then did he agree to the mate ball? Was Zephyr playing a game with them? Perhaps he used the mate ball as a way to know the Alpha's that were interested in his pack?Alpha Noah frowned upon realization. He was going to make Zephyr pay and he would make sure Olivia becomes Zephyr's Luna. He would make it happen even if it meant using his last blood but for him to do that he needed his daughters help; that's i
The car was silent as they drove to Antonio's pack. Zephyr would have chosen to run there in his wolf form since Fenir was eager to take control but he controlled himself and decided against it because he wanted to think of all the things he'd do to Antonio and how he'd torture him for taking away his mate. He wanted to reach him a proper lesson that would but him in his place. If he let his wolf be in control, it'd just simply rip Antonio apart. But he wanted a slow and painful torture for him that would be engraved in his memory for a long long time.He sat in the back seat with a straight face while Lucian drove and Jake sat by the side. They were both silent and occasionally, they would glance at themselves and then at Zephyr. Whoever was close to Zephyr would know that him silent was more scarier and nerve-wracking than when he talks because no one knew what was going on in his devious mind and what his next plan would be.Eventually, they got to Antonio's pack where a big gate
Zephyr?What was he doing here? How did he find her? She had made sure to not leave a trace so how did he manage to know her whereabouts?Bellona was speechless and in shock, making her remain still and mute whilst staring at Zephyr in disbelief.When she he looked up and her eyes came in contact with Zephyr's, she finally came back to her senses and quickly removed her face from Antonio's hands. She didn't know why but she felt like she was cheating on Zephyr.Antonio frowned when he noticed it. He looked back and forth between Zephyr and Bellona but he didn't want to dwell on that at the moment. His problem was why Zephyr was in his pack."Why are you here?" Antonio rose from his seat and glared at Zephyr. His voice was filled with so much hatred and hostility, same with his eyes. The way he looked at Zephyr showed just how much he disliked the man."I'm here to take back what's mine" Zephyr deadpanned. He didn't have the time to banter words with Antonio.Bellona's heart thundered
"Bow to your Luna" Zephyr declared and everyone present including the elders bowed on hearing Zephyr's command.Bellona was overwhelmed with emotions as she looked over the people bowing in respect to her. She felt like she didn't deserve their loyalty."Do you want to address them?" Zephyr asked her as he placed his hand on her shoulder.Bellona nodded even though she didn't know what to say. But she just felt the need to thank them at least for supporting her even when they barely knew her."You may rise" Zephyr instructed and they obeyed immediately then he turned to Bellona. "Go on" He said and then took a step back so the attention could be on her."Thank you so much for trusting and choosing me" She began with an emotional voice. "I promise not to let you down and I'll do my best to take care of you all. Please do well to support me and correct me whenever you see me going wrong. Thank you" She finished her statement.It was quiet and Bellona began to feel anxious but all negati
"Are you more reasonable than the moon goddess who fated us to be together?" Zephyr asked and he waited for their response.As expected, they were silent then he continued. "And who gave you the impression that my mate, your Luna can not protect herself and the pack members?" His brows rose up in questioning as he stared at the elders who always spoke before thinking.Zephyr's response to their statement made Bellona smile inwardly but it didn't take away her nervousness as she could still see them staring at her and it made her self conscious of her self."Let's say she's a good warrior, that aside" Another elder stood up. "But we heard that she tried to kill you. Is that not enough reason to disqualify her?""If she can try to hurt you, who are we or the pack members that she would not hurt." He said the strongest point they had on their sleeves and they were sure that there was no reasonable way in which Zephyr would respond to the question.Bellona's worst fears came alive immedia
Bellona's heart thundered in her chest as she stood in the waiting room. Today was the day that Zephyr was to introduce her formally to the elders and the pack as his mate.As much as she was excited, she was also nervous as she thought of the worst possible things.Will they accept me? Will they reject me as their Luna? She questioned herself."Are you okay?" Zephyr asked, breaking her line of thoughts."Yeah, I'm fine" She said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.Zephyr, noticing her uneasiness took her hand in his and said. "We can do this another time if you're not ready." "No. No, let's do it today. I'm fine" Bellona interjected immediately. Although she wanted to agree with Zephyr and reschedule, but the elders and the pack members were already out there, waiting to see how.They certainly would not be happy to find out that she had stood them up. It would give them another reason to dislike her aside all she had done."Okay. Whenever you're ready." Zephyr said and he tigh
"We should get something to eat." Zephyr said and Bellona nodded but sh found it difficult to get out of bed. She didn't want to leave his arms but she wanted to eat something too.They had been in bed for too long and they had missed breakfast. Bellona forced herself to sit up then she flung her legs down."Freshen up, breakfast will be ready by the time you're done." Zephyr instructed and she obeyed and walked into the bathroom.Bellona took a quick bath and joined Zephyr in the balcony. He had already freshened up and was waiting for her with a table filled with food. She took a seat and they ate in silence, finishing what was on the plate."You must have been really hungry" Zephyr commented as he looked at her plate. He had thought she was joking to avoid him when she said she was hungry. Now he felt sad for keeping her hungry for long."I don't think I can ever get enough of food." She smiled and picked up a grape from the tray and took a bite from it."I know I can never get eno
Bellona opened her eyes slowly, unwilling to succumb to the sweet dream she was having. This was the most comfortable sleep she had ever had in her entire life and she didn't want it to end. She wanted to sleep some more so she could continue her perfect dream but eventually, she woke up.Bellona realized that it wasn't a dream as she felt Zephyr's hands around her waist, pressing her back against his chest. His legs entwined with hers under the sheets and his hot breath on her hair, fanning her neck.'It wasn't a dream' she smiled to herself.Zephyr had actually made love to her in the most sensual and tender manner. Bellona felt her face heat and her body burn anew as she recalled the beautiful memories that she would never forget It was an experience she had never had before and she didn't think she'd do it even in the nearest future but apparently, the moon goddess had other plans for her.She wished to do the activity all the time because it was something that she couldn't wrap
Bellona laid down beside him, her thoughts wondering on ways she would be able to pleasure Zephyr. She wanted to make him feel the same way he made her feel. She wanted from show him how much she loved him."What wrong?" Zephyr asked when she sat up."I want to make you feel good" Bellona said, her voice sounded low and shy."You don't have to" he protested. He didn't want to force her to do what she didn't want to do."But I want to so let me do it" Bellona said, her voice filled with determination."Bell-" his words got stuck in his throat when her lips landed on his neck, kissing and nibbling."Bellona you" he tried to draw back his legendary self control for her sake and him. It was her first time and although he'd love more than anything to go on, she had to rest so as not to overstress herself."Shh" She hushed him. "Allow me, I promise you won't regret it."Zephyr couldn't protest anymore because deep down he wanted it.Bellona kissed from his neck down to his collar bone then
Bellona's face flushed in embarrassment as she heard him ask her."It was good." She said, not knowing what else to say.Zephyr raised his brow, "good?" He repeated and she nodded."Is my touch just good?" He asked her and this time, Bellona was unable to give him a proper response because she really didn't know what else to say.His touch was perfect but she didn't know how to put it in words.Zephyr smirked at her speechlessness then went down and captured her lips in a heated kiss.He kissed her so passionately that Bellona felt he was punishing her. He kissed her to the extent that she tasted blood and only then did he stop."Is my touch just good?" He repeated and Bellona remained mute.He didn't wait for her response and the next instant, his mouth landed on her breasts.His tongue circled on her sensitive nipples, causing her to arch her back to him. He continued sucking on her tits while caressing the other one then when he was satisfied, he switched places."I've waited for a
"Bell," Zephyr tried to speak but Bellona who was overwhelmed with feelings didn't let him talk."What do you want me to do, Zephyr?" She asked, rising to a sitting position. "You claim to love me but you do not show it. Actions speak louder than words" She finally finished her ranting."I-- I don't know what to say" Zephyr stuttered. "I didn't know you felt that way. It wasn't my intention to make you feel this way." He explained. Sincerely, he had avoided getting to close to her in fear that she'd feel like he's forcing things and push him away."I wanted to give you space. I thought you weren't ready. I swear, Bell. I really love you and I'll never do anything to hurt you." Zephyr confessed sincerely. "I'm very sorry for making you feel this way." He apologized. He felt horrible with himself that he had made his mate feel bad when all he wanted to do is to see her smile and happy.Bellona turned to him, my heart telling her that she had been to harsh on the man. She understood what
Bellona didn't reply to him anymore. She simply kept quiet and continued bathing in his warmth. Her mind going to different directions"Zephyr" She called out suddenly. "Yes," He answered immediately."Do you not like me" She asked, her voice sounding sad.The moment Zephyr heard her question, he rose from the bed. "What gave you that thought?" He asked and without waiting for her response, he continued. "I love you so very much, Bellona. There's no woman I have and will ever love like I love you. So clear that thought out of your mind. I really do-" "Then why don't you want to touch me" She asked, cutting him short.Zephyr was speechless as he started at her with wide mouth. Her question had taken him by surprise. It wasn't an everyday question that he had expected her to ask him. It was just a random."Am I not attractive enough or do you not get turned on by me?" She voiced out her worry. She had been waiting for Zephyr to make advances at her. They were mates after all. If they
