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
Chapter one hundred and sevenDue punishmentAlpha Noah's eyes were round like saucers as be stared at his daughter in shock."What are you doing here, Olivia?" Alpha Noah asked. He had paid for a vacation and had given her all she needed with the instruction to leave the country immediately.He knew that she would ruin his plans that was why he had personally planned the vacation even without her asking.Why must his daughter Olivia spoil his plans every time. How stupid can she be?Alpha Noah was both frustrated and angry that his plan he had spent a long while planning would just go down the drain due to his daughter's carelessness."So what are you saying, Alpha Noah?" Zephyr asked, his brows raised in amusement as he stared at the man in front of him who had a confused expression on his face."You can't." Alpha Noah yelled out loud suddenly. "You do not kill innocent people. It is part of your vow." He said, remembering one of Zephyr's vow was to never kill innocent people and Ol
Zephyr carefully placed Bellona on the bed and when a knock sounded on the door, he went to attend to it.Bellona had thought it was Jake or Lucian or even Christine but apparently, that were giving them privacy.The person at the door was an omega that Zephyr had ordered to bring food for Bellona.Zephyr took the food tray to the bed and placed it before her. "Eat" He said. It was the first word he uttered since after he took her from Alpha Noah's captivity.Bellona didn't argue and began eating immediately and only stopped when she was full, not even going past half of the food."Are you full?" Zephyr asked and Bellona nodded her head in response. For some reason, she didn't want to talk.Zephyr mind linked an omega and almost immediately, they came to collect back the food tray."You need rest." He said. "Lay down and sleep."Bellona did as he said. She laid on the bed but didn't close her eyes."Sleep" He repeated."I want to sleep with you" She said.Her words sounded rather ambi
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
"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
