“I'm sorry you're going where?” I eyed him over my bowl of popcorn.

I was sitting down in the living room whiling away time playing games and eating popcorn all by myself when Zayn burst into the room telling me of his impending travel.

“I'm going to Mexico for some important business. It's just going to last a week and some days and I will be back.”

I snorted inwardly. If it had been when his hatred for me was still strong, I wouldn't even have noticed his absence.

But now that I'm beginning to unravel how I can't do without him, he wants to go away on a work trip.

I might break down if I keep on thinking about him going away for some days, how lonely and cold it would feel without him on the bed.

How am I going to cope alone?

I suddenly felt his strong arms around my fragile body engulfing me into a comforting hug.

“Its okay if you don't want me to leave, I can postpone it.”

I shook my head vigorously.

“Don't even think of doing that, it's just going to be a week and some few days.

    Chapter One. Jaslyn “Sexy,” the unpleasant looking man said, his hand moving up and down my bare legs, while I pushed down the feeling of revulsion which crept up my throat. “You’ll fetch a lot of money. At least enough to recover the money I lost from your godforsaken father.” He spat, disgust dripping from his voice.It was a line I'd heard so many times, and one I loathed.“If you behave well, with any luck you'll end up with a rich Alpha who's willing to make you his toy,” he continued, moving around only to stop behind me. “Bring the black cuffs.” He ordered his underling.My body was weak to even protest as he changed my handcuffs and locked it. I hadn't eaten for days now, and though I didn't really need food, I needed blood. A were-vamp was a taboo in the werewolf race, and my father had detested me for it. Maybe that was why he hadn't hesitated to sell me out to slave traders in order to save his pack. I wasn't sure any of the slave traders knew I was a

    Chapter Two. Zeeland I tried to focus on anything other than the woman who was seated right in front of me. I watched as her face alternated between different expressions, ignoring how much they stirred me.I'd come to Washington DC with the sole intention of picking a mate, if only to secure my position in the pack.The Alpha selection was in a few days time, and I had that much to convince the council that this woman was my mate. Else I'd lose the chance to become the Alpha.I clenched my fist. That wasn't an option.With just a glance at her back at the auction hall, I'd decided she was the one I wanted. And I was ready to pay anything to get her. I wasn't usually spontaneous, and my decision surprised even myself. I couldn't explain how I'd felt back then, but the moment I saw her, a foreign and overpowering sensation had engulfed me.As I took in her perfect alabaster skin, and blonde hair which had a healthy glow to it, I'd felt like running my hand thr

    Chapter Three. Jaslyn.I staggered behind the walls, away from the bustle of the mating ceremony while hoping that no one would notice my absence. My legs felt weak, and my belly clenched so hard it was a surprise I didn't shriek.I needed to feed, and I had to do it before returning to that godforsaken party. The gown Zeeland had ordered me to wear wasn't aiding me as I walked. Instead, it seemed to slow me down. It was a high necked tulle gown that had a cinched waist, and belled down to my ankle. My cleavage was a little bit exposed, and I shivered in the cold.As a half-vampire, I wasn't supposed to feel the chilly weather, but I hadn't fed in days. Footsteps approached, and I crouched down, hoping that the garden would provide enough cover until I saw who it was. It turned out to be one of the servants. I felt bad as I reached out and pulled her into the shadows. As a rule, I didn't feed on poor people until it was an emergency. Well, this was an emerge

    Chapter Four. ZeelandJaslyn's expression was grim and determined as she lifted the cup towards her lips. My heart raced fast, and just when she was about to drink from the poisoned wine, I barked, “Stop!”Arching an eyebrow at me but without saying a word, she lowered the cup.“You passed,” I said quietly.“Passed what?” She asked with obvious confusion.“The Luna's test,” A member of the council said from behind her. My face closed up at the sight of him, and his face wasn't better off.He'd supported my stepbrothers and had wanted one of them to become the Alpha. Of course he wasn't pleased that Jaslyn had passed the test to become the Luna, which had in turn cleared the passageway for me to become the Alpha.“Congratulations,” he was saying now, his eyes trained on me as if saying the battle wasn't over. I knew that of course, and was prepared for whatever was coming.I lifted my chin. “Thank you, Tyvera.” He grunted what passed either as a response or

    Chapter Five. Jaslyn Different emotions filled my heart as I stomped outside. And hurt topped the list.As much as I tried to ignore it, I couldn't deny the fact that Zeeland viewed me as nothing more than an Omega who had no wolf.I shook my head in self-derision. What had I been expecting?He had made his position clear earlier today when he brought me over. Today? It sure felt like an eternity had passed.Zeeland had clearly told me that I was his fake-mate, nothing more and nothing less. He clearly had no intentions of changing his mind. So why did his words sting more than they should?Zeeland's wheelchair backed me as I came out into the open. His Beta was nowhere in sight, but I suspected that he was within close range.“You called for me,” I said a little too stiffly as I stood in front of him.His cold expression gave nothing away about what he was thinking, as he glanced at me. “Are you forgetting your position so soon?” He asked straightforward

    Chapter Six. Jaslyn “Sorry,” I mumbled absentmindedly as the teacup fell off my hand and spilled its contents on the floor. “I’ll clean it up.”“You don't have to.” Zeeland said, biting into his croissant. It was the first sentence he'd uttered since we arrived at the dining hall. His stepbrothers had sour expressions on their faces.“She isn't even the Luna yet, she's still as good as an Omega.” Benoit spat, his eyes shooting lasers at me.I stared at him unfazed. “Now that I think of it, I don't have to clean it myself. Would you like to help out?” I asked with a sweet smile.Benoit's face alternated between purple and red, as he stabbed his finger at the empty air. “You-”“Oh, come on, It's just a teacup.” I gingerly picked up my pecan pie and bit on it slowly. I caught Zeeland's smirk, before he dipped his gaze.Armand was intently watching me with knitted brows. I'd been avoiding the brothers ever since my encounter on the night of the mating ceremony. And

    Chapter Seven. Jaslyn “So weak,” one of the ladies beside me said. Her words were accompanied by snickers from the others.“So strong, yet your arm balance is so pathetic.” I retorted calmly. For the life of me, I couldn't engage in the swordfight they were currently practicing in. I learned my lesson after the first few trials when one of the women had nearly slashed down my shoulder. Yet I couldn't go back into the Fort.Zeeland's instructions were clear. I had to practice ahead if I ever hoped to beat the Lunas from other packs. The ladies that were currently engaging in a duel were Armand and Benoit's toys, and they'd done nothing but try to get under my skin. “I heard you were a slave before Zeeland bought you off,” one of them, a blonde, said giggling and looking at me mockingly. I didn't respond.“No wonder I've been perceiving an odd smell. I bet you can't wash off the smell of a slave no matter how hard you try.” Blondie continued, and my hands clenche

    Chapter Eight. Jaslyn I hissed for the sixth time in a row as I flipped through the pages of the book I wasn't really reading. The words seemed to blur into each other, and my head was starting to ache. I crossed my legs together and leaned against the fluffy chair with another sigh. I was all alone in the large room I shared with Zeeland, and thankfully for me he wasn't around. He was prolly in the garden, North wing with Alyse. I tried to ignore the sharp pang of pain that shot around my heart with no success. After that time in his study, I'd caught Alyse giving me mocking and hateful stares. Surprisingly, I was affected by it even though I considered myself as thick skinned.For the past few days, I acted the real part of a fake-mate. Maybe the arrival of Alyse prompted Zeeland to put me in my place. And did I mind?Yes.Even though I wanted to deny it.The fact that Zeeland was a cripple didn't matter to me. He was well…good. “Uhhh, I'm going to go crazy

    Recently her parents had lie low for reasons best known to them.But I wouldn't take chances, I would make sure I keep her safe from harm.Staring down at her smiling face, I could swear she was dreaming. I hope I'm the one she's dreaming of.I don't need to say much by the way, no one could make her smile the way I do.After much pleas, she finally gave in and packed in her stuffs to my room two days after our tour around the mansion.“Will you keep on staring at me all day long ?” she asked beaming at me.“If I could stay all day just staring at you, I would gladly do that.” I bent and gave her a peck on her forehead.“You know, you could still do that if you wish. But doing that will drain you of all your wealth.” “Is that supposed to be a threat pumpkin?” “How can I threaten the almighty Al-Zayn ?” she grinned jumping out of the bed.“I have to take a shower, my body reeks of kisses.”Before she could make it to the bathroom I gripped her by the waist.“Not so fast pumpkin, I sh

    The soft rays of sunlight slashing across my eyes could be so annoying.I was having a wonderful dream, but too bad I had to wake up.The faint smell of oud hung around the room. I squint my eyes a little around the room.This isn't my room, my bed isn't as hard as this. I stared drowsily at the bed as the memories of last night started flooding in.I sneaked out of the room in his shirt because my dress was destroyed beyond recognition. Thanks to Zayn.The only prayer in my head was not to get caught by his maids or guards or worse still his nanny.And it was a success. I turned the door knob and pushed it in.My room was how I had left it yesterday but...Something feels off. The room had a mixed scent of rose and lilac.And I definitely don't use lilac. Could it be that...No no no, get a hold of yourself Kacie. She's far away from you, it's just the maids who often comes to clean your room up.Yes it has to be the maids...I rushed into my bathroom and took a quick shower. The chi

    I woke up the next morning with a terrible hangover. Partly from the alcohol and the rough night between us.I spread my hands across the bed. To my dismay it was empty and cold.I opened my eyes slowly and truly he isn't on the bed.I ignored the banging hangover razing the whole of my head and head out of the room. The hallway looks empty.Where could he have gone to so early?I stroll down not knowing exactly where I'm headed to. I continued walking anyway.“I can see you're awake.”I turned around to see him standing a few feet away from me dressed in a well tailored suit. Even his haircut looks different, I guess he's in a conference meeting with his staffs.I closed the remaining distance between us.“Yes. I searched but didn't see you around so I decided to come check on you.“Sorry I didn't keep a note for you, just trying to fix a little problem.”I furrowed my brows. “Problem? Is it serious?”“Don't worry pumpkin.” he kissed me slightly on the cheeks. “I got it, in less th

    It's been a week since we officially started dating. Somehow it feels strange because I hadn't expected him to quickly renege on his word, but all the same I'm glad things turn out this way.Seeing how he changed from being a hardened stone hearted beast to a loving angel. I might say I'm one a lucky girl tho it's still hard to believe.Despite all his pleas and constant nagging, I refuse to pack into his room. Partly because of continuous nightmare and also because I want to mentally prepare myself.Apart from myself I've never slept overnight on the same bed with someone, even when I was still living with Josh.“Common Kacie, could you please lend me a helping hand here.” I glanced up from my phone to see nanny Miriam struggling to arrange the dining room.“Sure. Just a minute.” I said standing up from where I sat checking out Zayn's pictures.Pictures that I had taken secretly without his consent.Weird right?I missed his face so much I decided to do the only thing I could do to

    I walked gently down the stairs trying as much as I could to stifle in a smile. But it didn't work though, as a bright smile cover the whole of my face.I could tell from the way he shivered when I came out dressed in that gown that he was beginning to like me.Try as he might behave rudely to me always, he can't change the truth.Truth that could be very dangerous to you."Ahh. Get a hold of yourself Kacie."His warning that night was scaring, particularly his face."You must never fall in love with me, Kacie. The day you do, would be your end.” his warning kept ringing in my head and clearly it wasn't something ordinary that I could toy with.I continued walking slowly when the pain came again same way it did when I was at the pool. Except this one grip was tight caging me into the vast ocean of pain.I held on very tight to my stomach, my vision was already hazy at this point"Please...

    "Are you coming with me?." I asked him immediately we step into the elevator."Nah. I will pass, the torture they received from me is enough.""I might end up blowing their brains out if I should set my eyes on them. He said with a hint of anger in his voice.I stared at him unbelievably. It's so unlike Amad to miss something like this.One reason why I always entrust my prisoners to Amad, he tortures them to a near death state."Speaking of which. Did you notice anything suspicious?." "No. But there's a possibility he would strike when he sees you let your guard down." He answered twisting the button on his shirt."I ain't daft, I know what sort of human he is.""Tighten the security around the storehouse and this very mansion itself, and also keep a keen eye on my fiancee."I paused suddenly already regretting my decision to leave her all alone in the room.She was fast asleep when I got a call from Amad saying the prisoners were causing a nuisance.Come off it Zayn.

    "What are you doing here." His thick cold voice boomed behind me jolting me out from my reverie.I slowly turned to face him. I hadn't expected him back so soon, when I woke up from my long sleep he wasn't in the bed.My palms felt sweaty and cold against each other. I'm sure he's pissed off seeing me in his gallery.Before I could compose a very convincing excuse, he had kept the laptop in his hands on the bed and raised me up like I was a compressed air.He carried me away straight to my room and put me on the bed."Where did you go to ? You weren't on the bed with me when I woke up." I asked him slowly.He let go of me and stood up from the bed turning his back on me.I stared at him speechlessly.What is he trying to do ? Didn't he get my question.I was already trying to throw the same question at him but stopped when he began saying something."I went to take care of an urgent matter. And also forget about what happened yesterday.""Don't start nursing the thought that somethin
