Jane turned back to walk away but before she could take a step forward, Lucian drew her back."What are you doing, Lucian. Let me go!" She struggled to escape from his grasp as she didn't want him to see her tears. She didn't want him to know how much he affected her."Don't go." Lucian insisted. "Stay here with me.""And then what?!" Jane snapped. "So you can toy with my emotions. So you'd make me feel loved this minute and the next, you'll treat me like a deadly, contagious disease. Is that what you want Lucian?"Jane couldn't stop her tears from falling any longer. She couldn't hold it in and she burst into tears. "Do you know what I went through? Do you know how much pain you caused me. Now you come here and tell me not to leave?""You're selfish. You're a selfish, self centered man. You do not care for other people, you care for only your wellbeing." She cursed him with pain in her heart."Curse me. Yell at me all you want but please do not leave me." Lucian begged and drew her c
"What did he tell you?" Bellona asked Zephyr as they got back home from her parents house. She was asking because she was curious to know the reason why her father called him aside when they were about to leave.When she had asked her father about it, he said it was nothing important and it made her more curious."It's nothing." Zephyr said nonchalantly and brushed it off while hoping that she'll not give up and continued asking him. His wish came through as Bellona pressed on."How do you mean it's nothing. You guys spent quite a bit of time chatting. It is certainly not nothing." Bellona protested. She refused to agree that it was nothing. Why were they both telling her that it was nothing? What were they hiding from her."Do you want to know?" Zephyr looked up as he asked her. He knew she was dying to know and he wanted to use it to his advantage. He loved teasing this woman."Of course." She said, excited to know what they discussed. Naturally, Bellona was a nosy person but being
"Why don't you want to kiss me back?" Bellona whined as her lips formed into a cute pout. "Do you not like my kiss?" She was used to him always kissing her. She had never had to kiss him and he didn't return the kiss. It felt weird and she didn't like it.Zephyr tried to hold back his smile. Bellona was too cute. "You're trying to bride me. I don't have to make efforts, do I?" He reasoned out to her."But--" She tried to respond to his words but he cut her short, preventing her from complaining some more."This is the last chance." He said with a playful smile. "If you do not manage to convince me this time around, then I'll gladly keep my secret to myself." He riled her up. The truth was that Zephyr did enjoy the kiss but he didn't want to admit it. How could he not enjoy the feeling of being kissed by his mate. But he didn't want to return the kiss. He wanted to know how long she'd keep it up before she eventually gives up. And if he was honest with himself, he was actually doing i
"Let's go on a date" Zephyr said suddenly."A date?" Bellona raised her brows. "Why so suddenly?""I want things to be right between us." Zephyr said sincerely."We don't have a problem, do we?" She questioned, not understanding what he meant by make things right. They had sorted all their differences out and they had been chatting casually for many days now."It's not that." He said."Then what? What's the problem?" "It's not like there's any difference between us. It's just that we didn't start on the right track. There are many things we don't know about each other." He explained."But that's not a problem." Bellona protested."Let's go on a date." Zephyr repeated causing Bellona to smile. "Okay," She said."Where are we going to?" Bellona asked curious to know what Zephyr had in mind."Just get dressed. It's a surprise." Zephyr said. He has already prepared everything before hand with hopes that she would agree to go on a date with him and thankfully, she did agree."I don't have
Bellona wore the dress and she had to admit, Zephyr really did have good eyes. Not only that, he was also observant enough to get her size correctly. The dress fit her like a glove.She stepped out from the closet and Christine's reaction said it all. Christine's pure and unfiltered reaction told her all she needed to know. The dress was beautiful."How's it?" She asked Christine who still had her mouth open in surprise."It's beautiful." Christine said. "Infact, beautiful is an understatement. This dress was made for you" She complemented her."Stop overreacting." Bellona playfully chided her. She felt that Christine was overreacting. She wasn't really that beautiful as Christine claimed, right? Bellona's insecurities began to kick in. Was she beautiful in the dress or did the dress make her beautiful? She didn't know about that but she was quite certain that the dress didn't look as good on her as Christine claimed."I joke a lot at times but I'm more than serious now. It is beauti
Bellona and Zephyr got into the car and drove to a fancy five star restaurant for their date.When they walked into the restaurant, the waiters bowed in greetings and Bellona was amazed by the restaurant.It was beautiful and had the finest of ornaments. The special treatments they were giving them made her suspected that Zephyr was the owner of the restaurant."What would you like to eat?" Zephyr asked Bellona after they had sat on their seat and a waiter stood by the side, waiting to take their orders."I don't know" Bellona smiled. "You must be a regular here. Suggest for me" She said.Zephyr nodded and ordered the food, he also requested for the finest bottle of wine."Are you not planning on driving home?" Bellona asked him when she saw that he had ordered a bottle of wine."I am." Zephyr said and placed his elbow which he then rested his head on, observing Bellona. "But it's good to get lose once in a while." He said, while still not taking his eyes away from her face."Do you w
"Excuse me. I want to use the bathroom." She told Zephyr and stood up from the chair she left the room to the bathroom.She wanted to clear her head. Everything was going too fast but it wasn't like she didn't like it though, it is just that she wasn't used to the level of attention and care she was receiving from Zephyr. It made her feel giddy and she was definitely not used to that feeling.Bellona walked into the bathroom and to the sink where she washed her face and stared at her reflection for a while."I am beautiful and enough." She spoke positive affirmations to herself in a bid to increase her confidence.When Bellona had gotten ahold of herself, she turned to leave the room but was stopped by Olivia."What are you doing here?" Bellona unconsciously asked Olivia as she hadn't expected her to show up here."Can I no longer visit a restaurant?" Olivia asked in annoyance. Thinking over it, Bellona realized that her question didn't make sense. The restaurant was a public place af
Zephyr thought about trailing Bellona's scent in order to find her but Alpha Noah and his cohort were smart enough to eliminate all smells that would lead Zephyr to them.Zephyr didn't want to play around with them any longer so he went to Alpha Noah's house directly inorder to face him one on one."Where's your Alpha?" Zephyr held the first person he saw when he got to Alpha Noah's pack by the neck and lifted him off the ground."I-- I have no idea. I'm just an ordinary omega." The man sobbed and stammered due to fear and being choked by Zephyr."Useless." Zephyr muttered, annoyed that the omega was unable to provide him with suitable information, then he let the man go.The man let out a series of cough and scurried away from Zephyr's sight.Zephyr continued his search for Alpha Noah and after checking several rooms, he still didn't find neither him nor Bellona.He was beginning to get irritated with the whole thing but on a second thought, he decided to search for Olivia as he figu
