"It's enough" Zephyr interrupted. "I'm taking my mate with me." "Allow her to make her choice!" Antonio countered. Bellona had a mouth and the last time he checked, she could talk properly."I don't have all day." Zephyr said with a frown and grabbed Bellona by the hand and pulled her along with him as he walked towards the door. "Let's go!" He instructed Lucian and Jake when she reached where they stood.Though they didn't like that he was forcefully taking Bellona against her wish, they followed him nonetheless. He was their Alpha thus they couldn't disobey his orders.Actually, the truth was that Zephyr was scared, scared of what Bellona's decision would be. He feared that she'd chose Antonio over him given that she hated him and had spent a long time with Antonio. They hadn't known each other for a long time and the little time they had spent together wasn't pleasant at all so the possibility of him being picked was slim.He didn't want to bear the pain of rejection. He wasn't su
"It's enough!" Bellona raised her voice so loudly that everyone in the room heard her clearly and regained composure immediately.When the room quieted down, she quickly walked to Antonio and pushed Zephyr aside. She then helped Antonio adjust to a sitting position."Are you okay?" She asked him, her voice was filled with concern. One that no one in the room had ever witnessed."I'm fine." Antonio lied through his teeth. He was nothing near fine and his face looked like it had been attacked by an angry bear. Well, it was an angry wolf."No, you're not." Bellona began and placed her hands on his cheek, not minding the blood. she looked like she wanted to cry. "You need medical attention." She really cared for Antonio. He was her only friend, he was there for her when she was in a dark place, so she couldn't bear to seem him treated like this.He didn't do anything wrong. He only came to rescue his friend, if there was anyone to be punished, then it should be her and not Antonio."I'm f
The ride back home was quiet as everyone was engulfed in their own thoughts. Jake was driving and Lucian kept thinking about his newly found mate.Zephyr who sat at the back with Bellona couldn't help but think of how things would be between him and Bellona onwards since she had accepted to be with him even though he knew she made the decision under pressure.Bellona gazed emptyily outside the window, occupied by her own thoughts. How would things play on from now. She had decided to live with Zephyr but now she was somehow regretting the decision.Though strangely, her hatred for him wasn't over the hill like before, she still wasn't comfortable with him given that she was aware he killed her parents. She couldn't help but wonder how life would be in Zephyr's pack. Would they accept her now they knew she was a rogue, would they one day wake up and decide to execute her? Was this one of Zephyr's plan?Bellona couldn't stop her thoughts as they wandered deeper. How would her parents fe
Zephyr who was on his way to his room, stopped when he saw Christine and Bellona and he couldn't help but eavesdrop.When he saw Bellona cry for the first time, he felt his heart shatter into tiny bits. He was the one who made her cry.He had never wished to see her cry. The only tears he wanted to see in her eyes were tears of joy and tears of pleasure when he is thrusting deep into her.He wanted to step in and console her but he decided otherwise. He trusted Christine and since they were both ladies, she'd confide in her. He sincerely wished that everything would turn out for the better because he wanted to be with his mate as soon as possible and the waiting was making him grumpy.Zephyr wanted to enjoy the pleasure of having your mate in your arms, to yourself. If Bellona didn't hate him, by now they would have been pregnant for a pup. That was how eager he was to be with his mate.But that didn't mean he wouldn't wait. He'd wait for her till she is willing to accept him and not
"Bellona!""Bellona!!" Nimue called out louder for the second time when she didn't get a reply.She had left Bellona and Antonio to catch up and now she felt they had spent enough time together, it was now time to plan on the next step of revenge."Where's Bellona?" Nimue asked Antonio who was sitting on the floor with his head bowed and Jane sat beside him."Where's Bellona?" She repeated. It was like they all had a plan to ignore her questions."She's not here." Jane answered because she knew Antonio wouldn't."What do you mean she's not here" Nimue asked. Her heart began to thump and she grew suspicious. She could only hope it wasn't what she thought. "I left her here few hours ago. Where's she?""Her mate came for her" Antonio finally spoke. He sounded so sad and depressed."Who?" Nimue asked as her fear increased."The great Alpha Zephyr came for his mate and I didn't have the power to fight back!" Antonio raised his voice and stood up from the floor. He raised his index finger a
Jane got to Zephyr's pack and as usual the security was tight and the guards who were at the gate prevented her from entering."Your name and who you're looking for?" The guard asked. He had a stern look on his face that told her that he wasn't here to play."I'm Jane. I'm looking for Mr Zephyr." She smiled widely to appear innocent and harmless.The guards squinted his eyes and eyed her. Given the way she addressed Zephyr as Mr instead of Alpha, she must be human. The guard thought to himself."What do you need him for?" The guard pried further."I'm from the office. There's an important matter to handle" She lied smoothly while still carrying that same sweet smile.The guard immediately bought her lies and went ahead to open the gate.Jane let out the deep breath she was holding. That was close. She sighed. If they had detected that she was lying, they would have killed her the next second.This was the first victory. She had managed to pass the gate so she had high hopes of meeting
Convinced by Jane's words, Zephyr and Lucian with the help of Lucian made a plan to catch Nimue whenever she appears. The plan was simple; Nimue appear then Gwydion uses his magic to trap her in a loop."I'll be going now." Jane said after they had concluded with the plan."Why are you in a hurry?" Lucian asked, half concerned, half suspicious. "I don't want Nimue to know that I told you of her plan. If by any chance the plan fails and Nimue escapes, my life will be in danger" she said. Although she had faith in Zephyr and Lucian's plan, she also needed to be careful herself. Nimue was not some average witch. She was a powerful sorceress and catching her may not be easy as expected. This was just her preventive measures."But--" Lucian didn't get the chance to finish his words because she cut him off as she placed her hands on his shoulder affectionately."Don't worry. If you succeed, I'll be back. Nimue can be really dangerous." Jane said with a smile. She liked that Lucian was worr
Nimue raised her hands high up in the air to strike Zephyr but before she could get to him, she found herself unable to move.She was stuck!What was happening?Before she could think of it, Zephyr's eyes opened and he glared angrily at her."W-what's happening?" She stammered and her heart pounded in fear."How are you awake?" She was confused. As much as she knew, the sleep inducer was so powerful that most times, it could put one to sleep for up to three days. So how come it didn't have any effect on Zephyr?"You're weak" he taunted her. In actuality, he was also surprised that her magic didn't have any effect on him. He had heard about Nimue and the power of her magic so at some point, he became scared that she'd actually succeed with her plans but not until Gwydion put his magic to good use.Nimue then tried to wiggle and shake out of whatever was holding her but she heard a mocking laugh, stopping her in her place."The more you try, the more it draws your strength."
