CHAPTER 132AUTHOR'S POV Lady Montana had noticed that Zendaya had not been with her all this time, and she kept talking and explaining things when the girl was not even there.She had turned to say something when she noticed she was just talking to the air, obviously. Her daughter was not there.She looked around and still could not find Zendaya with her eyes. Lady Montana decided to check by herself, maybe she got lost, but still, she didn't find Zendaya.So she decided to just mind link her, "I should have done that from the start", Lady Montana laughed at herself, she just had many things going on in her head currently besides all these."Young lady, where are you?", Lady Montana mind linked Zendaya, but she did not get any response.This was when she panicked, she was already getting ready to go all Mama wolf to find her daughter when the young lady tapped her, "Sorry mum, I just got carried away."Lady Montana turned and stared at Zendaya, "This child,
CHAPTER 133AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya had gone looking for Alexander the next day, but it was much harder than she expected or was it?She did not exchange numbers or even take anything that could help her find him. Plus she could not possibly ask someone from her pack to help her.Zendaya groaned and ruffled her hair.A week has passed now and still no change. Same results every day, she was unable to find him. Unknown to her Alexander had also been coming out to look for her, he was not also sure how she would find him and also not sure how he should find her.Then he thought of something, the marketplace, where they met for the first time, he had asked them a favor, he knew some market women, and so he had asked them if they had seen Zendaya.Most of them said they had seen someone like that but were not sure, while others said they had not."Could you please direct her to this place, if you come across her?", He said to just three of them, "Ask her if she kno
CHAPTER 134AUTHOR'S POVWilson extended his hand, "It's nice to meet you, Zendaya, beautiful as your name.""Thank you Mr. Wilson, nice to meet you too", Zendaya smiled and shook his hand."The pleasure is all mine," Wilson said, smiling back at Zendaya, "So how is your day going?""It's going well, thank you," Zendaya said gratefully, "Alexander had been showing me around the market.""That was actually where we met. I ran into Zendaya while I was getting some food stuff, so I thought I had to introduce you two."Wilson was genuinely interested, he could not remember if his son had ever brought someone home, specifically a girl, "Well, it's nice to have you here, Zendaya. Are you from around these parts?"Zendaya shook her head, "No, we actually just moved here.""Oh, what part?", Wilson asked.Zendaya smiled and quickly thought of something to cover that up, there would be no need to bring any attention to them, "Just around, I have not quite gotten used to
CHAPTER 135AUTHOR'S POV Alexander's eyes seemed to linger a little longer on Zendaya's face, his gaze lingering on her lips before darting away, he didn't intend to make her uncomfortable.Zendaya herself was drawn to him, the warmth of his smile, the way his laughter filled the room.At this moment, it was just both of them. It may all seem rushed, but they were destined to be together. Just as Zendaya felt herself leaning in ever so slightly, their little spell was broken by the sound of footsteps approaching.They were both startled and pulled away from each other with a mixture of embarrassment and disappointed as Alexander's father entered the room, a knowing look in his eyes."Hate to break up the party, you two, but lunch is ready, we are having barbecues for lunch and I have got the barbecue fired up and everything," Wilson informed them, "We should feed our guests well, so they come by more often," Wilson said and then winked at his son.Alexander s
CHAPTER 136AUTHOR'S POV Alexander turned around, while Wilson kept a straight face, "Hear what?", Alexander asked confused."I heard…", Zendaya was going to say but thought about it. Maybe she made a mistake, or it was just her werewolf hearing, she did not want to be suspicious, "Nevermind, I guess I was wrong", she let out a satisfied breath."Hmm, okay," Alexander agreed."I should get going, it's getting late, I don't want my family worrying about me," Zendaya informed them."Of course," Wilson said and then proceeded to give Zendaya the bag he was holding in his hand, "A gift for your family, food, I packaged some barbecue and all that, just spice it, make it hot, and it's good to go, plus other things and fruits too. Thanks for coming, it was really great having you around.""Thank you for having me and making me feel so welcomed", Zendaya smiled widely as she took the bag, "Thank you for this too, I will enjoy it a lot, hehe.""Take her home and make
CHAPTER 137AUTHOR'S POV Zendaya waited in her hiding spot, the moon cast dappled shadows through the canopy, was not bad, she had an advantage with it though but the forest was still dark.Zendaya's senses picked up the sound of footsteps crunching on leaves and the murmur of voices drawing nearer, asking each other, "Where is she? She could not have gone far."Zendaya tensed up, readying herself for the confrontation ahead. She strategically positioned herself behind a cluster of trees, selecting a spot where she could remain concealed until the men were within her striking distance.She peeped and saw as they arrived deeper, scanning the area, obviously looking for any sign of her. Unaware of her presence, they continue forward, their footsteps growing louder with each passing moment."They don't just give up", Zendaya sighed and with a silent growl, she launched herself from her hiding spot, her movements agile and swift as she pounced on the unsuspecting
CHAPTER 138AUTHOR'S POV The werewolf turned a deaf ear to Wilson's question and the only thing he kept saying was the need for water which he has not had for like two days now as Wilson was trying to get information out of him.The werewolf himself, knew he will rather die than open his mouth to say anything but this torture was just too much, "This human should just kill me", the werewolf always said to himself, seeing as there was no way to escape.Everything was just getting worse."Alright, fine…Here", Wilson finally accepted and gave him the water. To the werewolf's surprise he also fed him some food until he was satisfied, gave him water again and then finally gave him the little silver doze."Do you have anything to say to me or tell me? I have been good to you right? It is only fair that you are good to me too," Wilson said to the werewolf as he started getting some towels, "I can't be good to you, and you are bad to me. It's strange.""Just let m-me
CHAPTER 139MONTANA'S POV Zendaya raised her hands up, "Oh, it's food and fruits, from one of them as a thank you for coming. They were really welcoming."I smiled and ruffled her hair, "I'm glad, always be careful, and it seems like you had lots of fun, seeing as you forgot about me", I faked being jealous.Zendaya gasped playfully and said, "I would never, you know you are top one on my list mum.""Oh for real? What about me then?"Lincoln walked in, pecking Zendaya's forehead and mine, "Evening my beautiful princesses.""I'm your Queen", I pouted, "Zendaya can be the princess.""Ugh mummmm", Zane groaned as he walked in with his father. They had gone out for something after dinner, and now they were back, just in time.Although I wonder where Victoria was. Hmm!"So what about me, my princess, I hope I can fit into number one because I am not going below that", Lincoln pressed on.We did not even expect when Zendaya disappeared from our midst, before we did,
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
