ExcerptUnknown I watch them as they go hand in hand, the man laving kisses on the blushing woman while I peered at the dark alley, wondering where he went...I have to say that I didn't expect her to be this cunny though, switching from one man to another easily like a whore did but anyways ...who was I to judge?I was just looking for an opening which I thought I'd found yesterday until he showed up.I appreciated the man for leading her straight to me though, running immediately to her rescue as I predicted after sending those menI climbed on top of the step that I had strategically placed there to aid my easy access.I chose this spot because it was perfect to stay for a long period of time without anyone suspecting you or even catching a glimpse of you. I had tested that theory when I stood there in plain sight watching my friend look for me frantically but he couldn't see me.A couple of days later, I appeared in my dorm room in tattered clothes and hair claiming to be found.
Zirah's POV Noah squeezed my hand to remind me that he was here for me, but all I could think about was the guy that was going to show up in less than two minutes to confirm my suspicions.After what Noah told me, I've been driving myself crazy trying to put a face to facts but the dots weren't just connecting.His phone beeps and Noah signals to me that the guy we're waiting for will soon be here.A second later, the other door opens and a thin-looking guy with dirty hair was roughly placed in a chair, they tugged off the blindfold as they felt.The guy's face widened in terror when he saw where he was and immediately started to struggle."Who are you? Why am I here, what do you want?" The guy shouts into the empty room, looking directly into the camera.Gutsy but bold.Noah wait several more minutes after his outburst making him sweat a bit before he calmly walks into the room, shutting the door with a gentle click behind him.He calmly stares at the man while he unbuttons the cuff
Zirah's POV AFTER the whole incident with me finding out about Damon having a hand in the kidnapping of my kids and the whole not having any contact with him since he's been AWOL, it's been a very tense couple of weeks.Not knowing where he was, or what he was going to do next worried me a lot but Noah kept on telling me not to be worked up, showing me the ins and outs of their defense, promising me that if he steps foot in there we'll know in the next minute. With all that, I still wasn't reassured.I think it's because deep down, I knew that Damon wouldn't just easily give up not when he's that obsessed with me. I had a feeling he was just bidding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike, and once he does it might be fatal.But it's been three weeks now, and no word. I think it's time to relax a bit, and maybe hope that he's finally gone from our lives.This was why I was very excited about their annual pack gathering happening tonight, it was an opportunity for me to let
Noah's POV I turned in the bed, wishing the pounding noise would subside as I gained consciousness.I jerked awake, swinging against the bright, early morning rays of the sun shining through the open windows.The pounding which I had thought to be a figment of my imagination was actually real, and it was happening outside my door.Zirah twisted in bed in protest as I untangled my body from hers, reluctant to let me go but I had to go see who was banging at the door by this time.I glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table, the green blinking lights indeed confirming it was way too early for this.It wasn't even seven yet!Half annoyed, I slid out of bed and grabbed a robe that was tossed carelessly on the chair, and tied it around my half-naked body before I went to open the door.On seeing a guard, I closed it shut behind me and stepped out into the hallway."Sir." He bowed respectfully to me. "Tyler sent me.""And?" I peered at him through half-open eyes, wondering the hell
Damon's POV I glanced at my phone which came on indicating a notification had come in, I looked and saw it was just a random notification and relaxed.At least I was glad that Diego had finally gotten the memo, after calling me and sending me dozens of text messages which went unread and unanswered respectively. I had decided not to go back to Autumn pack after a failed attempt in reaching out to Zirah there was nothing there for me anyways, no family, no mate….I knew it wouldn't go down well with Diego however, so I didn't bother to tell him, letting him come to the realization himself.Last I heard, he and someone else were about to Challenge each other for the position of Alpha, whatever, they could go fuck themselves for all I cared.The longer I sat here idle, the more my body itched, making me very uncomfortable in my skin. I stared out the window, at the beautiful scenery beyond me but I wasn't seeing either of it my thoughts were fixated on something. A person to be exact.
Damon’s POVI had thought long and hard about her proposal which might look suspicious coming at this point, but still, I couldn't deny I might need her help to smoothen out the kinks in my plan.I got to the edge of the city and shifted back, tearing open my bag to bring out my clothes.Quickly wearing, I snuck in tugging my baseball cap low on my face to shield half my features.Surprisingly I didn't encounter any trouble until I got to Noah's home.I bypassed the clueless security guard, waiting for him to turn away before I ran past, crouching low once again.I had been training ever since I discovered who I was, a tribrid, a wolf, dragon, and Demon blood all mixed up in me, I wanted to unlock my other abilities, and boy, was I impressed. Now I was faster, and more stronger than an average shifter.All I just had to do was to wait for the chips to fall in place, then Noah Harvey will wish he never crossed me.The house was heavily secured, so If wanted to get in, I had to use a ro
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
