Bellona went home, ate and took her bath. when she was done with everything she had to do for the day, laid on her bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. After being awake for a while, she remembered that she was to read some books so she brought out the books Jane gave her from her bag.She stared at the book and contemplated for a while before she finally made up her mind and opened the first book to read. It was just a harmless book so there was no need to be nervous. Nothing could go wrong in reading a book, right?Her resolution didn't last for long because the contents of the first page made her close the book in shock and a blush painted her cheeks. She didn't expect to be greeted with such unrestrained way of describing the events. It was a rare sight to see Bellona being flustered as she was always so poised. All these was new to her.She took deep breaths and composed herself and opened the book, this time she tried to read each page, careful not to miss even the slightes
Bellona woke up with a jerk. She looked confused. She quickly sat up and touched her clothes making sure they were in one piece. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest. She got down from her bed and walked to her bathroom where she washed her face in the sink.She was horrified!Of everything to dream of, it was Zephyr, in her room, on her bed, making love to her? She shivered!Make her feel good? Make her his? What the hell was that?Oh, Lord what had come over her?She splashed some water on her face and then she came back to her senses. She realized it was as a result of the books she read last night else why would she have such lewd dreams about Zephyr?Bellona put all those thoughts behind her and quickly got ready and left the house. Not forgetting to take the books along with her. She would return them back to Jane.When she reached Antonio's pack, she met him and Nimue having tea on the balcony as usual."Where is Jane?" She asked immediately, not taking a time to greet th
Bellona's break was finally over thus it was the day she was to execute her plan. She took her bath and as she was about dressing up, she remembered the red lingerie that Jane had given her."Your appearance needs to be seductive too." She said, trying to convince her to accept the lingerie.Bellona contemplated for a while if she'd wear it or not but she eventually agreed to wear it. Besides she was just seducing him, it was no guarantee that they would have sex.She felt nervous and anxious. A part of her wanted to give up and ask Antonio for help but given the number of times she had rejected his offer, she fought back the thought.Bellona got dressed in a two piece red suit. She wore on a small see through camisole inside which showed ample amount of her cleavage and the skirt of the suit stopped right on her thigh and hugged her curves tightly.She paired the look with a black shoe and bag and then let her wavy hair fall to her back. She then applied a little makeup and when she
Bellona smiled. The moon goddess was definitely on her side. She had given her this opportunity on a platter of gold and she was going to use it to the fullest."I was worried about you and the least you could do is to spend sometime with me. Didn't you see how those men were staring at you!" Zephyr blurted out without thinking. He was exasperated."Why do you care?" Bellona asked with a seductive smile on her face."Huh?" Zephyr was tongue-tied. He didn't know how to respond to her question. Why did he care? He didn't have an answer to that."Why does it bother you if I choose to spend my time in the company of men?" She repeated, this time she slowly moved closer to him and placed her hand on his shoulder."I- I...you're my employee. I ought to be concerned" He tried to defend himself but his quivering lips gave him away. For the first time in his life, he didn't know what to do."But you don't care for other employees" She said and pretended to think. "I guess I'm special.""Don't
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Zephyr yelled angrily as he tightly held her hands in place so she couldn't move.Bellona was frightened so she pretended to continue kissing him, maybe it would salvage the situation but Zephyr was not having any of it, he pulled back from her, pushed her away and rose from the couch.Zephyr already knew that she had a weapon with her but he didn't know that she would use it on him. He simply thought that she took it around with her for safety reasons. When his hands were busy exploring her body, he felt the dagger on her thigh and out of instincts, he became alert that was why he was able to stop her from stabbing him right on time.Bellona landed on the ground but stood up immediately and dusted her clothes, she was annoyed. She looked up to Zephyr and met his dark gaze so there was no need to keep up the act anymore. She readied herself to fight."How dare you?" Zephyr growled, his deep voice resonated through the room. She noticed that
Zephyr was standing by his floor to ceiling window of his office in the pack. He was furious at himself. How could he call himself an Alpha when he was so easily entrapped, so easily distracted and so easily seduced."Where is she?" He asked Lucian when he sensed his presence in the room."She's locked up in the dungeon according to her orders, still unconscious" Lucian answered. "I knew she was up to something" he said but got no response from Zephyr."Alpha!" Lucian suddenly called out as he approached Zephyr. His eyes narrowed while staring intently at Zephyr's chest."What is it, Lucian?" Zephyr asked annoyed. He had a lot on his mind already and he didn't wish to hear Lucian's nag about how he warned him to be weary of Bellona."Not to bother you, but isn't that wound on your chest taking too long to heal?" Lucian paused for a while and continued observing the injury "I've been looking at it for a while now, it is a small wound compared to others you've gotten and it is supposed
"I'll save our Alpha. I'll do whatever it takes" Chris declared, his eyes glistening with determination. "Help me, let's take him to his room."The both of them carried Zephyr to his room where Chris commenced treatments immediately.When Chris was done, he left to make some researchs about the enchanted silver dagger but not before saying that he'd come by to check up on him regularly. Lucian sat next to the unconscious body of Zephyr. He felt pain seeing his friend lying unmoving. He had never seen him this way as Zephyr had never had the need to seek medical attention. He rolled his fist tightly, making his knuckles turn white. "I'll kill her." He said, his voice laced with bitterness then he stood up and strode to the dungeon, ready to kill.Lucian marched angrily to the dungeon. When he got to the cell where Bellona was kept, he forcefully pushed the door open."Can't you at least knock?" Bellona snapped and Lucian's frown deepened.She was no longer unconscious so she had the e
Antonio was worried sick about Bellona. It had been two days since she went to the company but was yet to return. He tried calling her but he was unable to get through to her and it worried him deeply.He also considered going to Zephyr's company to search for her but after further thought, he decided against it. If he eventually goes there, in less than a second, the wolves would sense his presence and attack him and that would put Bellona in more trouble.On the first day when she didn't return, he talked to Nimue but she only said that maybe the seduction antics led to Bellona having a one night stand with Zephyr and she was most likely with him. Though it angered him, he just decided to make due with it to calm his nerves. But on the second day when Bellona still didn't return, his worry grew. He couldn't sit still anymore so he went to Nimue."It's been two days since we last saw Bell. What are we going to do about it?" Antonio asked worriedly."She has probably fallen into the
"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
