Chapter 39

Xavier's POV

Beta Hugh had already set out for the Crescent moon pack. He took the carriage, customary of highly esteemed guests but I thought it was pointless.

Werewolf city was huge. Huge may have been an understatement because it took at least a day to get to the Crescent moon village if you were traveling by car. I wondered how long it would take by carriage. Traditions were just a lot of stress.

Whatever the means of transportation, it was only a matter of time before Riana arrived. I would have to face her after years of avoiding contact.

I contemplated running away but my options were limited. The human world was a long way from here and even I wanted to leave, the gateway was locked to everybody but my father and whoever he chose to let through.

The enchantment binding the gateway I was told was strong and could not be broken by brute force. It was no ordinary gateway after all. It was magical, nothing like a gate but more of a path, a mystical road connecting tw

    Chapter 41Xavier's POVFear is a crippling emotion but it was not the cause of my inability to shift. After the first five gunshots, me and the rest of the men that could move took cover. The guns didn't scare me as much as the fact that I could not shift did. None of us could. The shooter was not a sniper, I knew that before my eyes caught a glimpse of the masked men standing behind the short fence with rifles and firing incessantly at people and into the air. My father made me learn about weapons since childhood so I could tell from the sound of it, any kind of gun. I counted about four men excluding me, crouched behind the concrete elevation for the huge, sculpted wolf right in front of the entrance to the house. "I'll cover you. Run towards the door on my mark," said one of the men to me. I hated that he thought his life expendable relative to mine"You go. I'll cover you." The four of them seemed taken back, with their expressions turning confused at my words. "We can't le

    Chapter 42Zara’s POV.Darkness is terrifying. I struggled with the firm grip keeping me strapped and hung over his shoulder while he ran very fast through what seemed like a large expanse of land. His shoulder was uncomfortable, I could hardly breathe as his bone dug into my stomach. The last thing I remember before this hazy situation was lying on my bed, naked, with only a piece of clothe draped over my body, as I bawled my eyes out into the pillow next to me.The sound! The gunshots. My memories slowly returned to me, like a movie playing in slow motion."We have to get out of here," a shaky voice announced through the flurry of twigs snapping under the weight of feet moving quickly over them and fast air wheezing past our ears. There were three others, excluding the man holding on to me."You don't think I know that, genius?" A different voice, more agitated than the first voice, more out of breath, replied sarcastically."Our exit got made. There's no way we're getting out o

    Chapter 43Zara’s POVAnother ten minutes of being upside down. I was getting a headache from the way my head was swung from side to side as my captors ran tirelessly through the dark woods. I watched from my terrible view as light began to penetrate the tall trees. The moon finally decided to grace us with her presence, bathing the earth beneath in her silver glory.It felt good to see a little. I kept wondering how the men navigated through the dense woods with nothing but their senses. Well, Blair could do that. The reality of living without the inner consciousness that was my wolf was starting to get worried. Blair is an irreplaceable part of me. Five years was more than enough time for someone to get stuck on you, especially when they were living rent free in your head. It was weird at first. Sharing my mind with another consciousness felt like I was losing my mind.With her perspectives that differed from mine on most things, Blair felt like an intruder in my head space. My

Alpha Zoran, that old hyena. What was the use of a peace meeting if you'd just go ahead and attack days later?"I'm coming with you," I said hastily to my father who was already on his way to retrieve the girl."Stay here," he looked at me with blaming eyes. I hated that look, those eyes screamed "disappointment" at me without my father having to say anything. I hated that he treated me like a child up until this day.How was a child going to ever inherit the family company? Those eyes, my father's eyes made me want to shout, "I'm not a child anymore," but I knew that was not going to work and it would make me seem even more like a child. A full grown adult has no reason to deny being a child, his actions speak for me. My actions were the reason those sneaky bustards infiltrated the pack house. "I can do somethin

    Chapter 45Zara’s POVThe sound of crickets chirping drowned out all other sounds but Bruce's voice. His voice pierced through nature as he spoke."Why have you come, Bruce?" I pondered on the answer to that question even as I asked."Your father asked me to go on one last mission. That's why I'm here," came his response. "What? He's alive?" Almost immediately, like a switch went off in my head, the phrase, "one last mission," made a little more sense to me. "Is he...?" I let out a quiet sob. My father was one of the worst out there, I was sure but it did not sever the bond between us, like a wolf and her mate, try as I may, alpha Donovan is the only blood relation I have left in the world, or had. "No princess. Your old man is safe," he said like he was at the brink of laughing at my stupid question. "He's the one that sent me to come get you." I could not believe it. "Why?" I wanted to ask but I suspected that even Bruce did not have all the answers. I was relieved either way

My head was filled with thoughts of revenge only as I marched through the woods in search of the intruders. Did they really think they could get away from me in my own village?Two of my betas were dead and five were injured. There was little left that could faze me. Fools! They were all fools and I knew just the way to punish fools. It was only a matter of time now. "Footprints!" Jose, one of my betas shouted. He was one of the younger generation of betas, about Xavier's age, eager to prove himself and confident in his abilities at the same time. He reminded me of myself from a long time ago."Follow the trail. They should not be far off now," I declared, letting all five of the others know we were on them. It's only a matter of time now, I reminded myself. Witch hunts weren't my thing but I can adapt. Those spell casters would pay for what they did. I spotted them! Shadows

His hands jagged at me, pushing and pulling me by my shoulder. The force with which he pulled was so strong that my whole body moved in accordance to his pulling motion. My arms would hurt if I could feel anything."We need to call the doctor!" Came Bruce, crying out in the hazy room. Who was he talking to? I could not see past his face and I did not know where I was.I looked down at my hand and it all came back to me. Blood spilled uncontrollably from an open cut on my thin wrist. I did this. I wanted this but when I saw how much anguish I subjected Bruce to, I could not help but feel guilty.It was too late now, I would bleed out any minute, like I wanted to. My consciousness slipped steadily away, my eyes were closing by themselves. "It's okay Bruce. I wanted this. I wanted to die," I wanted to say to

    Chapter 63Xavier's POVReturning to my father's house was sure to be dreadful. Kraken, my best friend, was still away on his mission to another pack but he would be back soon, I heard and I could only hope. I wandered outside, an unusual behaviour for me, to meet the most beautiful girl I had ever set my eyes on. I felt different from the moment I saw her. I wanted to talk to her, wanted to know more about the reason for this burning desire that overtook me. It felt a lot like it did in the pool with the moon goddess on the night of my initiation into the pack. My need for her felt natural, like it had always been there and it never did not exist. Her touch over me was powerful, the way her green emerald eyes sparkled in the sun, the way her voice was unlike any other, enchanting and captivating. Zara possessed a quiet, calm yet strong resolve. I could see it from beneath those gem-like eyes."How do I know that you're any different," she asked, clearly in doubt of my character.

    Chapter 62Zara's POV"I'm his son," took so long to register in my head. I'm his son. For the longest time since we met, silence brewed between us. The sound of the morning wind, calm and occasionally strong, overtook the silence. I looked away from him now, unable to imagine how someone so perfect could come from someone so flawed but then again, on closer inspection, the resemblance was uncanny. They had the same blue eyes that drew me in. The same facial structure that made you doubt God's fairness to other people. They stood at about the same height. The few differences between them were his long, blonde hair and the visible fact that he was younger. "How?" I tried not to sound betrayed by this shocking revelation but I think my voice failed me. "How are you his son?"Despite the imposing resemblance, Xavier was at least twenty and Alpha Damon looked too young to have a child that age. I guess I was just looking for a reason not to believe that they were related. I was look

    Chapter 61 Zara's POVOutside Alpha Damon's room, I could finally get a personal view of that magnificent garden sitting in the compound. There was a path separating the two sides of the garden. It was almost a little too big for a garden, as it covered almost an entire plot.The garden had rows of roses, tulips and lilies and so many exotic breeds I could not recognise. It was a perfect combination of so many different colours- red, white, blue, yellow, splattered all over the place. It brought peace to me, this place. It was the only place I felt a little at peace in the mansion. With the basket I found lying around in the kitchen, I headed straight for the mushrooms I spotted from inside Alpha Damon's room.I loved mushrooms, partly because of how they tasted and partly because I knew how to identify the poisonous kind. It felt good to possess uncommon knowledge. I walked through the garden, my eyes sifting through the numerous mushrooms just sitting there.Anything with a shade

    Chapter 60 Zara's POVI used to love the mornings. I loved the way the rays of the sun seemed to blind out every problem that I had. I don't know when I stopped loving the mornings. I don't know when the sun was no longer enough to block out those problems. These problems keep growing, bigger and bigger every second. I woke up to the sound of Alpha Damon on a call with a person I assumed was his secretary from the way he spoke. He barked orders at the person on the other end, but then again, he barked orders at everybody.I once tried to understand him. Why he acted the way he did? Nurture or nature? As a child, I read anything and everything I could find in the grand library at my pack house, from fictional story books to history books. There was nothing about the Blood moon pack's previous Alpha. It was like he never existed. "Make yourself at home," he said. "This is your new home. I've said this before but you still ran away. It does not matter. You can't run from me," he said

    Chapter 59Somewhere in the Crescent moon pack,A black lambo with the flag of the Blood moon pack raised at its side pulled up by the high gates of the Crescent moon pack smeared in purple and gold paint. Inside the car is none other than Alpha Damon's right hand man, and the only person he could trust to fetch the princess, Beta Hugh.It took the whole day to get to the village, an exhausting journey, even for a trained and seasoned enforcer like Beta Hugh.Past the gates and into the magnificent village where he, Beta Hugh, would find the princess, stood the imposing pack house.He walked into the building, formal and straightforward as always. His mission was one and he would fulfill it, he always did. He would take princess Riana Park to the Blood moon village in preparation for her wedding with his prince and liege."Your majesty," he prostrated for the lightly but richly dressed man sitting before him. A message had been sent to the Alpha before Hugh's arrival so everything wo

    Chapter 58Zara's POVMy heart sank as Alpha Damon uttered the words, "it can't be." My attempt at deceiving him was futile after all. It was foolish of me to think I could lie to him with his ability to hear my heartbeat and possibly even know what I was thinking through our mind links. Although mind links were meant exclusively for members of the same pack.I tried as much as possible to conceal my thoughts, hoping for the best but expecting the worst to happen. "Wait in the bedroom," Alpha Damon commanded after his interrogation, torture session. He seemed to have bought the story I made up about the moonlight pack. It was known throughout werewolf city of the feud between the Blood Moon pack and the Moonlight pack so it was easy to put the blame on the Blood Moon pack's rival but I expected more hesitation from Alpha Damon.I summoned the last of my strength to walk away from the suspicious werewolf as fast as I could, before he noticed that I had been lying. His bedroom, a huge

    Chapter 57Xavier's POVWaking up to the sound of young, horny adults is a nightmare. My nightmare was on repeat. "Harder baby, harder!" Became my alarm in the crappy apartment I stayed in. I never imagined Nick to be the nymphomaniac kind of guy. The worst part was that I could not think about complaining, I had nowhere else to go. I was grateful for his offer too.It had been three days since I moved in with Nick and every night since has been filled with awkward, high pitched and disturbing sounds at night.Nick's one bedroom apartment was small and anything but cozy. He had clothes littered over every furniture in his sparsely furnished space. His apartment defined "low budget" with his.small, flat screen TV, a rickety, brown and ugly sofa and his bed at the one end of the room, all squeezed in a tiny space."Make yourself at home," he said, the afternoon I arrived, his emerald green eyes gleaming as he spoke. Nick was always like that, always the first person to offer a helping

    Chapter 56Zara's POVI opened my eyes to dizzying lights overhead, a familiar scent and an unyusual unawareness of my surroundings. Not again.I closed my eyes to recollect my thoughts. The last thing I remembered was the train station. The lights went out. Isaac."Isaac?" I called out in the strange environment."Your friend is dead, like everyone who was foolish enough to think they could help you escape me. There is no escaping me," a deep voice announced from a distance.I know that voice. An instant dread filled me up as my head was thrown forcefully back into reality and my attention was called to order at once. The man's steps were loud and echoed in the quiet room. With each step, I felt as the deep pit in my belly grew even bigger, making me more and more uneasy. Then it stopped. The loud footsteps came to a halt, plunging the room back into its eerie silence. He was close enough by this time."Did you really think you were going to run away from under my nose?" came that

    Chapter 55Zara's POVOutside the dark room was bright and sunny. I wondered how Isaac got me out of the restaurant without drawing any attention to himself."I'll take you home. You just have to trust me and don't ever leave my sight," Isaac warned before we set out. Trust you? I wanted to believe him because if I did not and he was not who he said he was then all hope really was lost. "Take this, it'll help," he said and I felt strength return to me after he forced some pills into my mouth. The streets of Orleans were packed as usual with people of various cultures roaming freely. "I could run away right now," I said to the mercenary, expecting a reaction but he remained unflinching.Isaac made sure I was at his side at all times even through thick crowds and across busy roads. I felt uncomfortable when he held my hand as we crossed the road. His squishy palm was unbecoming of a man of his status.This man was nothing like the one I met earlier in the restaurant. He did not smil
