CHAPTER 55MONTANA'S POVThe result from my big mouth and talking without thinking was not pleasant cause me figuring out how sensitive this topic was to Alpha Lincoln, it was already too late.He had gripped my hand tightly, his growl emanating through him and his Alpha tone, very much out as he spoke to me, "What gave you the right to think you can speak about her, huh? You see this is what I talk about when I say you are too curious and meddle in other business which can be very irritating when you are not invited."Sincerely my heart was racing, he was scaring me and the grip on my arm increased, "A-alpha", I tried to make him calm down, while trying to free my hand, but he was stronger than me, the pain only increased."P-please just let go? Relax let's talk", my mind was a fumble now, and I did not even know what I was saying anymore, "I do not mean it like that, I just mean if that is the reason then please just talk to me, let's understand and work on
CHAPTER 56ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVAt a point I knew I wanted to see Montana, I just did not want this much pressure and wanted her to understand.Maybe I had spoken too rudely and harshly to her yesterday, but I was just furious and nothing I said was a lie, right?Everyone was already seated at the table, when I got there, including Montana who muttered a low, "Good Morning", not even looking at me."Montana, I noticed you and Lincoln left early yesterday. Did you guys need some time to have fun by yourselves?", My mother said teasingly to both of us.I was going to respond, but Montana beat me to it, "We did not leave together, I came back home because I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the party, it's been a long time I have been to one," she said softly, and I could sense the no emotion in her voice as she spoke."Oh, okay", My mother said and nodded.I kept watching Montana, hoping that maybe she would spare me a glance, but she was just so fixed on her food
CHAPTER 57ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV These few weeks, Montana and I avoided each other like a plague, but it was more on her part because there were times when I wanted us to talk, but she absolutely just acts like I do not exist, she does not even look at me.And my pride won't let me go talk to her to stop all this madness.I even went as far as sleeping with Ava again in my room and making sure Montana knew just to get a reaction from here, why I did that, I have no idea.But still, when Montana saw Ava and I coming out from my room, while Ava was all over me, she just passed and acted like she saw no one."I think it is good she knows her place," Ava said while watching Montana walk away.I just ignored Ava, clearly was not happy because I did not get any single reaction from Montana.MONTANA'S POVDo you think I was not hurt? I was definitely hurt when I saw him with that slut, but do I have any right? No.I needed to leave this place anyway as soon as possible
CHAPTER 58MONTANA'S POV Oh, no! That did not just happen! I did not just get caught. I needed to improvise, think Montana, think."I asked a question, who are you? Turn around and show your face", The person said, a guard warrior, I suppose.I turned around, immediately getting into action, "Is there a reason you want to give me a heart attack?""Oh Luna," he said surprised, and gave a short bow."I am going to give these bags to a friend, it has food in them, and she is waiting for me outside, Goddess what if the food had poured because I stumbled or something?", I asked him."I am so sorry Luna, I had no idea it was you," he said sincerely, "I apologize."I hummed and let out a breath, "It is okay, I just, she doesn't have much, and so I decided to help her, that is why I am sending this bag of food to her.""That is very kind of you", The guard said with a smile and a nod, "Do you need me to escort you?""No, no", I shook my head, "That won't be necessary,
CHAPTER 59MONTANA'S POV I collected my baggage from the carousel and my taxi was already waiting for me."French Quarter, please," I said to the driver. I had heard it was a very nice place in New Orleans, and they had good hotels too.Hopefully, it is what it said it is when I get there.I arrived at the French Quarter soon enough, and I had already looked up a hotel, plus the driver was kind enough to offer some recommendations that I searched through.When I got down from the taxi, I took in the sight of the lovely street and the historic architecture. It was indeed beautiful. This part of New Orleans might actually be a good choice.The Taxi driver helped me bring out my baggage and as I had now arrived at my selected hotel in the French Quarter. I thanked him, paid him with a little tip and entered the hotel lobby.Impressive look and design, I love it.I approached the front desk and greeted the lady behind it, "Good day, I would like a room please."I p
CHAPTER 60MONTANA'S POVThe next time I woke up was in a room. Through reflex, my hand immediately went to the back of my head and to my greatest surprise, I was not bleeding and had no headache.Sitting up, I found myself on a bed and in a small room. Now there was this girl directly in front of me, sitting up in her bed I suppose, "Hey, hey," I whispered, but she did not answer.She just sat there, staring into nothing, "Hey, girl", I tried calling out to her many times but still no response, and so I went up to her and tapped her.She only turned to me and stared at me, but never said anything.Suddenly, the door to the room got opened, and a man walked in. I remember him to be the man who pursued me earlier. My breath hitched as I stumbled backwards.He shot me a death glare and grabbed the girl. Suddenly, the girl started screaming, but still, he dragged her out and slammed the door shut.I ram to the door, shouting and screaming, "HELPPPPP!!!, SOMEONE PL
CHAPTER 61ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV It has been a few days now since Montana had disappeared, no news, nothing about her. Even my best trackers could not find her, she had covered her tracks pretty well.It felt like she had been planning this a long time, or was it since our argument. I was really frustrated because I wanted to let her know how I felt, I didn't want her to be in the mindset of our last argument and leave.But guess what? I can't find her. The kids told me everything that she had told them, none of it contained information about where she will be going to or when she will be back.The fact that there was a possibility that whatever she was going to do was going to be dangerous, and she might not make it out alive. Worsened it.Victoria was sad, but I think the later Montana gave her made her a bit understanding, but she was just angry that Montana did not discuss it with her, Instead of doing it alone.Plus, Montana had made a statement in Victoria
CHAPTER 62MONTANA'S POV I stared at Vito like he had gone mad. Whatever made him think I would strip in front of him. He better put those thoughts in a little box, lock it up tightly and throw both the box and the key, far, far, far away. Absolutely ridiculous, I must say."That is not happening, you will really have to kill me first before I strip in front of you", I spat out to him, giving him a look of disgust.From the first time I saw him, I already knew he would be a problem and despised him, and indeed he is a problem and constantly gets on my nerves.He did not say a word and just averted his gaze to another direction, "Make sure she is washed clean and neat."Who was he even talking too?I turned around, but I saw no one.Vito turned around to leave and I rushed to meet him because I do not understand what was happening, only for me to be pulled back by some hands, "There is no use fighting", it was a lady's voice.There were two of them and they st
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
