Zirah's POV Not wanting the incident that happened earlier to repeat itself, I left my kids at home and decided to take a walk tired of being cooped up in this large house.Even though I was tired of my relationship with Noah, it was way too bumpy for my liking, and everything right now just felt weird between us so I left it alone. However, I couldn't deny that from time to time, my thoughts strayed to Damon and what he could be doing. But I decided to create my happy place which was when I spent some much-needed bonding time with my kids, who by the way were growing so fast.But even that couldn't keep me sustained for long, and I began to crave the outdoors.So against Noah's wishes, I snuck out of the house leaving a note for him to find when he comes back from his secret meetings.I bought a straw hat on my way to shield my face from the sun, I could even feel a little skip in my step as I walked. At one time, I paused to lift my face to the sun, soaking in the cheery breeze a
Zirah's POV "I don't know." I dropped my bloody hands to my sides, unable to stomach the blood-curdling disgust it evoke in me.Apparently, my vague answer didn't appease Noah, and his brows scrunched even harder in confusion."What do you mean you don't know?" I feel like his stare is drilling holes into me with the way he looks at me."I don't know!" I say frantic. I placed a trembling hand on my forehead, inhaling and exhaling shuddering breaths. "I don't know…." I paused, taking in another shaky breath."I just... I woke up like this."He hesitantly takes one step after another, reaching his hands out to touch me but at the last second decided not to, dropping his hand by his side. "Do you remember anything?"I shook my head furiously from side to side in a negative response. Obvious that I was practically useless in this state, he just closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh, seeming resigned."Go up I'll join you soon."I wanted to stay and talk with him but blood and the piec
.Zirah's POV Doubts tried to spring up in me as I feared that unloading such deep parts of myself would be too much for him to handle, but I tried to shut down that part of my brain.Noah pulling me closer until there was barely any space between us seemed to ease the doubts, but I couldn't help creating scenarios in my head and emergency plans in case of anything.Noah's confession meant everything to me and was all I expected from a mate who claimed to love me and cherish me but years of fending for myself physically and emotionally has scarred me enough to fear truly trusting anyone.After all, the man meant to protect me and guide me wanted to have his wicked way with me amongst other things so forgive me if I'm not too trusting.I tore my mouth away from his, overwhelmed with the thoughts running through my head. "Noah, we need to think about the impact this will…..mummphhi." he cuts me off, drowning the rest of my words by drawing me closer once again and kissing the hell out o
TVZirah's POVInstead, I just hook my legs over his shoulders and beg him that way.He reaches up to pull my legs from around his neck and presses them wide to the bed, keeping a firm hold on them when he has them right where he wants them.In the deepest, most gravelly voice I've ever heard from him, "I want you to beg me to do filthy things to you because if I do what I have in my mind, it'll be hard for you to walk straight in the morning.""What kind of filthy things do you want to do to me?" I ask, arching up in his arms.He closed his eyes tightly like I was pushing him to the edge and he was trying his hardest not to fall. Well, the same goes for me."Answer me please, Zirah. Do you want it?." He grits out through clenched teeth, muscles straining and I just take pity on him and admitted the truth."Fuck, yes I want it, you have no idea how much I want it. Even when I was with others…"I stopped immediately, realizing my mistake but I just continued. "...men, I really wanted yo
Zirah's POV His phone kept buzzing throughout the time we made love, and sometimes during the night, I remembered him waking up to attend to his buzzing phone.I wanted to stay awake and inquire as to why all of a sudden his phone couldn't stop ringing off the hook which was quite unusual for him but I was so exhausted for the marathon bouts of sex that I just slept off.I woke up briefly during the night and I could hear him speaking in harsh tones to someone on the other line but I drifted off again with a smile on my face before I could even process a coherent thought.Just about some minutes to five on a Tuesday morning, I woke up to him spooning me, his delicious body heat warming me up from the inside out, making me never want to leave his embrace. He nuzzles my neck and cups my naked breast, murmuring along the long column of my throat."How'd you sleep?" His rough, gravelly voice stirred up some dark arousal in my body.Yum, I'm starting to love this side of him."Seeing as s
Zirah's POV My toes curl inward.My pussy clenches.Ecstasy thrums in my veins, lighting up my skin. It pulls me under.The pressure builds and I feel everything at once and nothing at all.I lose myself.And then I'm coming.Letting myself go.Fall headfirst off the cliff.It's not until Noah kisses me, that I find myself again."You're so fucking beautiful," he says.I roll onto my side and reach for his dick, loving the way his face reveals his pleasure as I stroke him. I could spend hours watching him like this. "I can't decide if I want to ride your face before I ride your dick." My thoughts spilled out before I could stop them.I could barely recognize myself right now. Mostly certainly these were not words I'd like to use during sex, but hot damn if this man doesn't bring out the wild person in me."Damn." His hands are on me before I even realize and he's pulling me on top of him. "I'm not sure I can wait another second to be inside you. You can sit on my face later tonight.
Noah's POV I wasn't a morning person, and the fact that I was abruptly jared from the peaceful time I was having with my mate for a meeting with some grumpy people annoyed me.However, when they told me why they were there, I was duly surprised.I thought I had sent one of the enforcers to clean up Zirah's little mess.Shit.I didn't let my facial expressions betray the inner conflict I was having, instead, keep my face impassive."What about it?" I inquired, hoping they were just curious, nothing more.I stared down at the man who had self-appointed himself as the 'leader' of this misled group, and the anger I tried to suppress bubbled up to the surface.The man's name was Jared and surely but slowly he's one of the most antagonistic shifters I've ever met. Right from time, he never felt comfortable with me leading the pack, he always thought he could do a better job and has been trying to convince the rest of the pack about that.I'd ignored his excesses at first seeing him as a l
Noah's POVI tapped my screen and brought up her number.It rang for several seconds before she picked up, the screen giving way so I could see her.She looked like she was leaning on a door, her eyes were red, puffy, and swollen from crying."Hey, baby.." I said softly.Her response was a sniffle and a sob."How're you doing?""Great." She let out a shaky laugh and I wished badly that I was there with her."Just know that I love you and we'll get through this."She nodded but I could see she didn't believe me at all."I left something for you on the desk. I'll need you here.""Huh?" A confused look crossed her face."Just check beside the table." The car skidded to a stop and I had to leave. "Gotta go, love you."I didn't hear her mumbled response as I jumped down from the car, seeking Pedro's lithe form.I saw him and made my way to him, wordlessly questioning him with my eyes and he shook his head in affirmation."This way, sir." He guided me to the underground basement, fluorescen
