CHAPTER 72ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVToday, I actually ended my alliance with the Blue Moon Pack. It was too much, I could not tolerate their nonsense anymore and the fact that they needed me more than I even needed them.Point of correction, I did not even need them, but still, they do not know how to respect themselves. Just a waste!Plus, everything they had done to Montana and my kids, added up, angering me. You know I almost ripped out Alpha Luke's throat today, Goddess save him. Sean saved me, when he put his hand on my shoulder, "Relax."I gave one last smile at Luke before we left. The smile I gave him was surely a message, and I hope he got the message loud and clear.Something was just fishy about them and the way they work, getting to know more about their pack, I just could not and coupled with the way they treated Montana and our kids.Anytime I remember that, I just feel like giving them a beating, but maybe not right now."I have always wondered when
CHAPTER 73ALPHA LINCOLN'S POVAs we got to the bar, the dim lighting and the lively chatter filled the space. It has indeed been a while.Sean and I greeted a few people with a nod of our head as we spotted a spot at that bar, a corner where we could also observe the crowd and relax.We ordered our drinks, classical cocktail or bold whiskey, engaged in a brief banter with the bartender, laughing and all that.Sean and I talked about different things. At a point I scanned the room, we engaged with others in little chats."To friendship", Sean and I raised our glasses to a toast, celebrating our bond which have lasted since we were kids until now and which will continue to last and grow stronger.We vibed as the music played. Good thing the bar played something nice.While Sean and I enjoyed the evening, the air filled with laughter and talks, different accents even. A lady walked up to us, "Evening Gentlemen.""Evening", Sean and I greeted her back. I thought s
CHAPTER 74MONTANA'S POVI let go of Finn's hand after realizing that we had not broken off the handshake when we introduced ourselves to each other, "Dinner sounds lovely.""Great", he smiled, he did have a lovely smile and unknowingly to me, I compared his smile with Lincoln's smile in my mind.Finn brought out his phone, "May I have your number? So I could text you and we can make arrangements?"He was soft and polite about it all…mm, charming."Sure", I took his phone and put in my number, "Montana, you can save as that.""Well, umm I have to go now, someone's waiting for me," I said, and he looked a bit confused for the moment, I think I knew what he was thinking or trying to understand. "My aunt is waiting for me, I should not keep her waiting for long", I finally said."Right", he chuckled, "You should get going, I will see you around."I nodded and gave him a little wave before turning to leave.I stopped at one point and turned to find him staring, bu
CHAPTER 75MONTANA'S POV I blushed at the way he looked at me, his words when he complimented me and opened my side of the door, "My lady", he smiled."Why, thank you gentleman", I giggled and got in.He closed my door after being sure I was comfortable, walked over to the driver's side and got in."So where are we going?", I started a conversation as we left my hotel."I know a nice restaurant, not too luxurious but can be, nice and their food is also great," He said and I nodded, mouthing an okay.Truthfully, I was a bit nervous, cannot remember the last time, someone had some interest in me. It was always me pursuing them, while they sit down and relax, as I put great effort."You really look beautiful, Montana, it is an honor going on this date with you," He said to me."You flatter me", I blushed a bit and turned, looking out the window. Did not want to seem easy, although I had my trust and guards up, but I guess it would not hurt to have a little fun an
CHAPTER 76MONTANA'S POV Finn cleared his throat and moved back a bit, respecting my decision."I am sorry, I just do not want things to be rushed," I said sincerely, my heart beating in my chest."I understand, I apologize if I made you uncomfortable," he said."No, no", I smiled and pecked his cheeks, "You did not.""I am glad then", he smiled back."Alright I guess I will see you around. I best go in" I gave a short wave and went into my hotel.Oh, wow!I giggled a bit but stopped myself, keeping a serious face as I headed to my room."So how was it??", My aunt immediately asked as I stepped in"This woman," I said in my mind as I laughed, she did not even let me close the door before wanting to know more.Well, I told her how it went and a little of the sweet details, of course.Days passed and Finn and I hanged out, I got to know more about him, his personality and I guess he got to know about me. Nothing too deep, though.We texted when we can, it was
CHAPTER 77MONTANA'S POV Now we were on our way to the Western North America. Flight booked, now on the plane headed to the Cascade Range, which is a segment of the Pacific mountain system located in Western North America."Why there?", I asked my Aunt as we took our sits in the first class side."Because that was where your parents built for your training before they were killed", she smirked, "You have no idea how filthy rich you are, Montana, no idea."Seriously, I had no idea how to react, I was excited, I was scared, I just had plenty of emotions pouring in.Aunt Calista touched my hand, "Do not worry, I will be there with you, to guide you, give you advice and get you settled. Everything your family had is in your name, kept safely for you."I nodded, "Do you have a picture of them?, I would really love to see what they looked like.""There will be many pictures and memories where we are going, don't worry", Aunt Calista informed me.Well, the flight wa
CHAPTER 78ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV It was her.Montana.She had dropped a message for me. One I did not expect.I was both happy and shocked at the same time.Even though the message concerning our kids, it was still something. She was cold to me, but I was still grateful that she thought to text me, whatever the message was.I smiled. I still tried calling her again with the line, hoping for it to ring, but it was also disconnected.This is torture. One I brought upon myself, and one I deserve.MONTANA'S POV Aunt Calista left me there for a while and I appreciated it because me being rolled up that way, I wanted to mourn, I deserved to mourn.Even though I knew nothing about my parents, I was grateful for the memories Aunt Calista shared with me. It made me feel like I had known them for so long.Even with our pack. I mourned for hours, crying my eyes out, the pain, the screams, I wanted to know, I wanted to mourn.Hours had passed, and I had calmed down a bit.
CHAPTER 79MONTANA'S POV Two years since I turned a ghost.Two years since I disappeared.Two years since I have trained to get to where I am today.It has been Two years, and finally, I get to go back and see my kids again.Finally, everything that belonged to my parents were now mine. The throne, wealth, every single thing.I remember when I was poor, until I had some work, but the wealth my family kept for me was a lifetime with business opportunities too.They literally secured my future to be great, I only wish they were here to see how much I have grown and what I have become.Aunt Calista had trained me so much, at first, I thought I would not make it, but I got better and stronger.She even brought in some best fighters to secretly train me and test my trainings.I got different kinds and types of trainings, to the extent I won against each of my teachers and found my way to also win Aunt Calista.They all taught me to be, not only as good as them, but better!The secret about
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
