CHAPTER 107ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV This was the last thing I would have ever done, but I had no choice but to confirm, although I still had my suspicions about Alpha Luke.Even though I was a bit confused now, my instincts are just so strong on Alpha Luke. "Well this was unexpected", that was what Ava said when she picked up my call."For me too," I told her politely, "Can we see? At a restaurant, I have something important to say to you.""Text me the details," she said, and ended the call. Sincerely, since that day, Ava never contacted me again, and I did not think she would even pick up then talk less of agreeing to meet with me, but I was glad she did.I texted her the details and time. The same day, we met at an old restaurant."Not sorry for keeping you waiting," she said as she joined me after making me wait for like an hour to the extent I thought she would not come.I even called and texted her to know if she would make it, but she ignored me and at
CHAPTER 108MONTANA'S POVA week. A full whole week since I have been here. Luke made sure to let me know every time how long I have been here.He just wanted to fuel my anger more and get a reaction from him, but sorry for him, he got no reaction.Although I kept wondering why I am just being locked up in this room, fed three times a day and good meals.I am starting to feel like they are feeding me to get me fat so that they could kill me that way or something like that, because it just does not make any sense.Anytime I asked what they want from me or rather what he wants from me, that is Luke.He is like I have told you before.Yeah, you have, but why is nothing happening? I am not saying I want anything to happen, but at least what is going on.It was so annoying, the same thing every day, especially when it was not my wish."Word just got in that your mate is getting destructive or should I say in a bit of a soured mood," Luke said as he barged into my
CHAPTER 109ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV I have spent thirty minutes in this room with Josh and still, he has not given me any reasonable information, but his face has been slightly difficult."What are you hiding, Joshi?", I asked while he shivered."Nothing A-alpha, p-please", he pleaded, writhing in the chair."I said, who do you work for, Josh?", I asked him again for at least the hundredth time."They will kill my family if I say anything," he cries out.I chuckled, "And you think I will not kill your family if you don't?"Alright, I think I have let him off the hook for so long and given him so many chances to redeem himself."Bring it!", I ordered to one of my warriors.He nodded and, quickly, got the bottle, giving it to me.I took it and showed it to Josh, "Do you know what this is?", I asked Josh as me and two of my warriors in there wore nose masks, to cover our noses and I put on some gloves.Josh shook his head, fear visible in his eyes. It would not have
CHAPTER 110MONTANA'S POVWhen I thought I would not be disturbed any more today, that witch barges into my room with Luke."Take her back to the cell, we need to act fast," Luke ordered as the witch did her little magic and made the black bracelet go back to its normal form as a handcuff.I resisted as she came to get me, "What is going on? Why?""Your mate is putting on quite a show, just got some word from Sean, he is quite relentless, Lincoln I mean," Luke said as they dragged me out.I was proud of my man but also worried. I had an inner smirk, while also hoping that Lincoln could find me soon before all these would get out of hand."And you better comply," Luke said, "Or I will have your kids, suffer for your stubbornness.""Please no", my ears perked up as I was thrown once again on the cold floor as the witch chained me up and sealed the chains with some magic.Then Luke came very close, rubbing his cheek on mine, sniffing me lustfully, "Then be a good
CHAPTER 111ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV With each heavy footfall, I went back into my home, straight to my room, headed for the bathroom, no stopping.My brows were furrowed with the deep lines of stress and anguish as I got undressed. There was this rage inside of me, I could not control.I stepped into my bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. I really do look like a mess. But I also knew I was close to finding Montana, I would be soon and I will find her."Just hang on a little bit longer, my love."The air was thick with the scent of warm water and fragrant oils, and with trembling hands I removed the remaining garment I had on.Lowering myself into the steaming water, I closed my eyes, imagining that Montana was here with me, in my arms. I also wondered if she had been able to get a good bath.More bad thoughts about her suffering started coming, I tried to stop my mind from thinking those, but it did not work.I soon tensed up so much to the point I though
CHAPTER 112MONTANA'S POV Grace staggered back, clutching her bleeding nose in shock and pain as she cried out from the pain. Blood flowing from her nostrils."Thank the Goddess, I am chained," I said to her in a deadly tone.She was about to attack me when Luke pulled her backwards, "Control yourself and leave, I will handle her."He hissed at her.I gave her a satisfying smirk as she turned around and left angrily."And you!"Luke pointed at me, "You know what? Maybe I should have Sean do something to your kids, remind you of your place here.""No, please", my whole demeanor changed. Fear enveloping me. They have already been through enough."Oh yes because you seem to be defying every single thing I have told you not too, Provoking everyone," He said to me, bringing out his phone."Luke, please don't", I shook my head, "I promise, I will be good, please", I begged him but in my mind, he had no idea the psychotic thoughts I had for him that I will have to b
CHAPTER 113MONTANA'S POV The witch took the bracelet and the ring, placing the bracelet into the tissue of my wrist while doing the same to Luke, as she placed the ring, into the tissue of his finger, muttering, "Alarath vi zyrry azh, du'rast lon."After placing them while I winced from the pain of the shells embedded into me, the witch might have done something to accelerate the healing process for both Luke and me.The bracelet was now embedded into the flesh of my wrist, around it, but you could see sharp shells poking out on top.Same for Luke too, except the round part was what was embedded into his finger, while the top of the ring, where the sharp shells decorated, was visible. It was like that particular finger was the ring, inseparable, just like my wrist and the bracelet.I felt pressure and a bit of discomfort since this object was now placed beneath my skin. I had no idea what it was doing to me.I was also distressed and scared as the witch loo
CHAPTER 114MONTANA'S POV Does she always have to leave a threat? GODDESS!I got up, showered and brushed my teeth. They actually provided everything I will need, ugh.I dressed up in a gown and wore the black boots that I saw. When the witch came back in, she had a look of satisfaction on her face, "Come on", she pulled me by my arm strongly.This time I was not having it, I removed my arm, "I can walk on my own," I told her while looking her straight in the eye.They will need me to not be weak but strong, so I doubt if she will do anything funny, well, unless that does not matter?I still kept my head up and looked at her. Let's see how this turns out."Walk fast then," She said as I turned and did, with her following from behind.When I got outside, I saw a chariot, a classic one with a two-horse vehicle in its wooden frame. It was polished and looked very nice and somewhat legendary.The platform of the chariot was open, which would allow whoever will be
CHAPTER 150AUTHOR'S POV "What was all an act?", Zendaya asked him, confused."I do not hate you Zendaya, you are not a monster and I know your kind exists, and that is because I have met one," Alexander informed her."Go on," Zendaya said to him, clearly wanting to know more, "What is his or her name? I want to know if I know the person.""You do not, it was a long time ago, I did not let my dad know they existed because I knew this is what he will do. I love him, but his obsession with winning and being known, being top one of everything makes him more selfish, even to me.," Alexander explained to Zendaya and all of a sudden, started uncuffing her."I am upset though that you were not truthful with me, I do not hate you, I just wish you had told me," he said to her softly as he uncuffed her fully and she hugged him tightly."I am so sorry", her eyes started getting filled up with tears, "I was scared, scared you would fear me or not want me."Alexander unde
CHAPTER 149AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya could see her brother was happy for her, but would he be when he learns that her mate is human?But before telling him, she wanted to see Alexander, just In case, Zane would not let her if he finds out her mate is human, and she would not know when she would be able to come out and meet with him, "Before I say more, I need to ask for a favor. If you do this for me, I will forgive you totally for your betrayal.""I do not like the sound of this," Zane said, eyeing his sister suspiciously."Can't you just do this one thing for me? Do I really have to beg you to- just never mind", Zendaya said, her happy face changing, "Just forget it, I guess I can't ask you for anything.""Stop, you can, you know you can, but it better not be risky", Zane sighed, falling for her trap with love, "Fine tell me.">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Zane had agreed, and now Zendaya was on her way to Alexander's house. She was going to surprise him, she j
CHAPTER 148AUTHOR'S POV "I want to see how red you are," Alexander said, but the way he said it sounded so sexy that Zendaya had to bite her lips and hummed.She was a werewolf, these things happen, even if she is just seventeen, but she is turning eighteen and is totally normal for her to meet and be with her mate."Fine, you better don't tease me more. I bet you are even blushing more than me," she said to him as she agreed, and they switched to video call."Hey!", he said and Zendaya just looked away shyly while blushing."Hi," she said softly."Have I told you how cute you are?", Alexander asked her, a smile lingering on his lips. There was just this way he looked at her, adored her, paid attention to her and what she said."As a matter of fact, yes mister, you have," Zendaya answered a bit more confidently than before."You are cute," He said it again, enjoying her reaction, the way her eyes lit up softly, and she smiled. He just loved the way he could
CHAPTER 147AUTHOR'S POVZendaya blinked softly and wiped off the tears that rolled down her face, "Yes," she said in a whisper."Good, that settles it", Lincoln concluded, ending the chapter of the whole argument there."Zen-", Zane tried to reach out for her, but she moved away from him."Don't, I hope you are happy, you are never punished," She said and then excused herself, before leaving the dining room."Zendaya?", Zane called out to her, but she ignored him and went up to her room.He sighed and sat back down. He didn't mean for it to come out this way? He just-he did not even know how to explain why he decided to tell their parents."Don't worry, just give her sometime, she will come around," Montana said to Zane, but Zane was sure that Zendaya was upset and disappointed in her, just by the look of pain in her eyes.In Zendaya's room, she locked the door and stayed inside, crying, she wiped her face but still, the tears kept flowing profusely, "They ju
CHAPTER 146AUTHOR'S POV Zane had a straight face all along as he said to his sister, "Watch me.""Zane please", Zendaya grabbed his arm, softly, stopping him and pleading, "please don't tell them, I already apologized for scaring you or making you worry."Her eyes pleaded too, this was the first time she had done something like this, plus she did not want anyone finding out about anything for now."Just got to bed", Zane sighed and left."Aish", Zendaya hissed and ruffled her hair. She was really hoping and praying her brother doesn't tell their parents tomorrow.Throughout the night, it was a bit hard for Zendaya to sleep. She kept thinking and thinking about Alexander and the kiss they shared, Goddess, her brain, and body were on fire.She had informed him when she had gotten home though, they did not talk about the kiss but just short talks about reaching home, and going to bed, things like that.When Zendaya was finally able to sleep, she slept like
CHAPTER 145AUTHOR'S POV With a silent grace, Alexander moved closer, his gaze fixed on her, "I should just do this, I can't pretend anymore," he said to himself through his mind.He had been holding back his feelings and tonight, she just took his breath away with the way she looked, the fun they had together and everything. She was the one.He just knew it.Alexander reached for her and pulled her softly. With a gentle tug, he pulled her closer, his touching making her shiver a bit through her spine.Zendaya turned, startled at the sudden contact, only to find herself face to face with Alexander. As she recognized him, her eyes widened, her breath fanning against his, her heart beating.As their lips brushed against each other's in a tantalizing tease, it sent a surge of electricity coursing through Zendaya's body, even Alexander, who seemed to be trying to stay in control. Zendaya sucked in a sharp breath. Soon with trembling hands, they drew closer, thei
CHAPTER 144AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya was taken aback, her brow raised from shock or maybe more of surprise as she turned to the person who made that statement, "Eyes are up here.""Of course, princess", the boy raised his eyes to hers."Thank you for the compliment," Zendaya said politely with a smile and turned to leave.If that was not enough, she still felt him staring at her ass and that did make her very uncomfortable, so she turned again and caught him looking, he did not even try to pretend like he was not.He just smiled and stared at her, their faces meeting each other.She noticed he was accompanied by his friends who acted like he knew nothing about what was happening."Can you stop," Zendaya said."Stop what?", the boy asked, acting ignorant."Stop staring at my ass, you are making me uncomfortable," She replied confidently."Your ass just seemed to get in front of my eyes' princess, I mean no harm", The boy told her, smiling and feeling like he was c
CHAPTER 143AUTHOR'S POV A smile lingered on Zendaya's face as she recalled her conversation with Alexander. Despite the reluctance to part ways, she knew they both had things to attend too.Maybe this was so much harder for her because she would feel the pull of the mate bond more, as she is the werewolf, and he is only a human. Ugh!Rising from the bed, Zendaya headed towards the bathroom. She turned on the soothing rush of water.She undressed, got in and let the warmth of the water cascade all over her. She took her time to cleanse herself both, physically and mentally, while thinking about the plans she had for the day.When she finished, she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower where she reached for a soft towel and gently dried her curls.She ran her fingers through her damp locks, proud of the feel and look.With her hair now dry, she did what was necessary, feeling refreshed as she selected her attire for the day, going for something th
CHAPTER 142MONTANA'S POV"My Lord," Quinn said as he also bowed at Lincoln, "It's an honor."Lincoln just kept staring at Quinn, not saying a word, until the whole room was quiet and tense. Typical Lincoln, we all know he can get overprotective of Victoria sometimes."She is my baby sister", he finally uttered.Quinn nodded, obviously aware of that."I don't joke with her," Lincoln said again, "She is now yours and I hope you both treat each other well but if she gets hurt-."Now I intervened, "Baby!", I whispered and held his hand, "You are going to scare him!""Exactly what I want, for him to be scared," Lincoln told me but through our mind link, "He definitely should be terrified.""I promise I will take care of her, I have searched for her, I love her and will protect her, always, even through bad or good times," Quinn said confidently.Lincoln looked at him from toe to head one last time before he relaxed and said, "Welcome to the family, please join us
