Chapter 76

Zara's POV

I never really thought much about how I would return to Alpha Damon's room. This was clearly a big mistake.

It felt like I just closed my eyes and opened them and morning came. Xavier was lying next to me, he looked peaceful. His mind, unlike mine, was free of the haunting thoughts. I wanted to wake him but it felt like a crime to disturb his peaceful sleep.

I went to the bathroom to get changed immediately. I was going to miss that peculiar scent that was etched deep into the fabric of his oversized white shirt. The smell bathed my nostrils and clothed me while I slept. It was calming, just like Xavier.

My clothes were dry, thankfully. I had hung them in the bathroom after I took them off. I looked back at Xavier's sleeping face one last time before I turned to go.

"You're leaving already?" Xavier's voice was deeper than usual. I found his morning voice very sexy and inviting but I had to go.

"I am." His eyes remained shut. I was not sure if he heard me becau

    Chapter 77Zara's POVHe was imposing, the man standing before me. His eyes fixed on me. I must have trembled. I must have shook while he looked. Something was going to go terribly wrong."Where have you been?" He asked. I paused for a little longer than usual. I had no reply, no response for him, nothing to say, nothing appealing enough but the fact in my hands was a plate of his breakfast.He shot me a doubting glare."Your breakfast," I replied. My voice betrayed me. I felt myself trembling."You weren't here when I woke up this morning," his eyes narrowed on me. His blue gaze held me captive, waiting for a confession, a confession that I could not afford to give. "I woke up early to get the food ready. I'm just trying to do my job."A prolonged pause. Hesitation from both of us. I feared he saw through me, I hoped not but his silence attested otherwise."When you put it like that..." he smiled. "It's not your job. It's more of a duty." I could breathe again. I let go of the inha

    Chapter 78Zara's POVI had to see him. It was the decision I came to after enough time spent overthinking. The thing about being a prisoner is that escape is never certain, I learnt that the hard way.I waited until the sun came up in the sky. No sign of Alpha Damon. Wherever he went, I hoped he would be there longer. The heat the day after the rain was immense. I felt like my skin would melt on top of me. I picked out my peach coloured gown just for today. Its thin straps and loose fitting allowed me to breathe and fought off the heat, although the heat mostly won but the gown was one of the only things I was allowed to bring from home. It was what I was wearing the day I was carried away and brought to the Bloodmoon pack. "I'll be going to get lunch," I said to guards standing outside the door to the chambers. "Alpha Damon's lunch," I added as if to give it more authenticity. They let me pass and I felt a brief relief. The first hurdle crossed but there was more to come, like ho

    Chapter 79Zara's POVI did not know what to make of what I just heard. It all made sense now. I knew that name, Riana Park, the princess of the Crescent moon pack. That was why their Alpha, Alpha Alken was here at the Blood Moon mansion. The packs were going to be united by the bonding of their heirs. It is a little hard to describe how I felt. A flurry of emotions overtook me. I did not know what to feel but I felt something, a lot of things. "This is why I told you. You need to hear everything. I'll tell you if you're willing to listen," Xavier spoke. I wondered what he could possibly say to silence these feelings. Why did I feel so betrayed, so left out? Like I had been thrown away, disposed like a used rag. This always happens to me. This time was the most painful reminder of the life I am forced to live, one devoid of happiness or hope."I've known Riana for a long time. Known may be an exaggeration but we have been engaged since we were children. It was a way to unite our pa

    Chapter 80Zara's POV"I know where you've been," Alpha Damon welcomed me with a suspicious tone. Where I've been?There was no way he could have seen me in Xavier's room, no way at all. Unless... my scent? As Alpha Damon barked questions at Xavier at his door earlier, I poured shampoo and the other unknown concoctions sprawled on the bathroom sink over myself.I coated my arms, legs and every other part of my body that was exposed in my pink little gown. There was no way Alpha Damon could have known or so I thought.I stood for a while, trying to avoid his piercing gaze and then I recalled how much he hated my silence, how badly he sought a response to his questions and even mere comments he made, like a child eager for attention from everybody around him."I... I don't know what you mean." I tried to come up with something better but my brain was frozen. I should be used to interrogations like these but I was not. "You don't? I could have sworn that you were in my son's room earli

    Chapter 81Alpha Damon's POV"You're always welcome whenever," I found myself saying. It seemed to be the only thing I had been doing recently- shaking hands, forcing smiles and welcoming people. Diplomacy is part of being an Alpha but it doesn't mean that you have to like it. I hated it. I hated every time Alpha Alken, the fat, old pig walked up to me with one of his warm smiles. I hated how gentle he appeared to be, a shame to an Alpha. I watched since Xavier was a child how Alpha Alken would spoil his daughter Riana, how he seemed to give her anything and everything she wanted. Such an attitude was unbecoming of an Alpha. A true Alpha is strong and his will should not be influenced by anybody at all.The truth is, I find myself asking if getting Xavier and Riana engaged was the right decision. I do not regret it. I refuse to. Everything I do is to strengthen the pack, to protect it and make it so the tragedy of the Bloodmoon pack never repeats itself. "You must show me to your t

    Chapter 82Zara's POVIt all came back to me. I fought to hold back the tears but I lost. My eyes were dripping until I could see no more. I closed the big bundle of pages in my hands. I needed a moment to recover, to take it all in.I stared at my wrists for the longest time, the parts where the scars were. It had been so long, so much time had passed. For some reason, an unusual memory popped into my head, it was the first time Alpha Damon looked at me."What is this? Who did this to you?" I recalled the rage in his voice as he posed those questions to me. He was holding up my hand and asking about the injuries I had given myself.I was not completely honest to him that day too. I told him that it had been my father and stepmother when really it was me. I tried to kill myself that day, nobody else. Like in the case of a gun for hire, the convict is the person that pulls the trigger. I flung the heavy book again to reveal more of my shrouded past. August 17Everything is back to no

    Chapter 83Zara's POVIt took a while before I flipped another page. The memories were all setting in, cementing in my mind again. It felt like my life was a book and I was reading through the chapters.Why was I doing this to myself? Why did I want to relive my pain? "Those who disregard the past are bound to repeat their mistakes." I knew that it was not for some grand reason like that. So why was I doing it? Another page.August 18I just looked at the date, before I could even glance through the page, a figure appeared in the corner of the room. It was a young woman dressed in the signature Bloodmoon uniform. She had, apparently, been standing for a while. I only noticed her when her footsteps became too audible to go unnoticed."The Alpha would like to see you," she started. I stared at her features, mesmerised by how much her chest bulged out in her uniform, how they looked like they would pop off if she moved around a little more. "Both of them," she added. Both of them? Her

    Chapter 84Xavier's POVI almost held my jaw up with my hands when Zara appeared in the room. She was the second person to arrive so it was just both of us in the room. "You look ravishing," I remembered to say amidst the jumble of unholy thoughts in my mind. My mind drifted many times, thinking of the most impossible and tempting things. There was more to why I was attracted to Zara, more than just her looks but at this moment I really believed that her looks were enough to capture my attention.Her black dress was gorgeous with splits at the side that revealed her thighs. I hoped I did not stare too much. I did not want to come off as a pervert to her. "You don't look so bad yourself," she said and completely mesmerised me. Her soft voice was very soothing. It reached the depths of my soul, calling out to the hopeless lover that I am. "Thank you," I said, standing up and reaching for a seat beside me. She walked all the way around the table and took a seat opposite me. She didn't

    Chapter 105Xavier’s POVI watched in fear as Riana left. She said thank you and just left. Her back turned to me, exposing her magnificent body. I knew she knew something, but not enough to conclude or figure out that I was planning an escape.There was something about the way she said thank you, the way she walked in and walked away so quickly. Her eyes had lost their light. They looked like two empty spheres in her wide eye sockets.She didn’t press hard when she asked if I loved her. She didn’t push herself toward me. I found it strange that she never asked for more sex after that day. She became an entirely different person. Changed. I should’ve worried more but I didn’t. I closed my eyes to it because I believed that anything keeping her away from me was a good thing.I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care at all, but I shoved that feeling aside because it was a distraction.That evening, I happened to be outside my room far from it.

The huge man was not much of a talker, I knew from the moment I met him, three days ago. I mean that I really met him three days ago—he had always been around, but we never had any need to speak to each other until we did.His head was balding but he still let it grow out, even though it showed at the trimming edges that formed deep cups that ate into the sides. It was only a matter of years,maybe a year,until all of his hair was gone, or at least most of it.I kept looking at his hair while we spoke, while I told him what I wanted him to do.“I just need you to give these to her. Nothing more,” I said to him. This was three days ago, while he was on

She profited off my squabble with Zara like kings and country rulers profited by selling weapons to warring countries.Did I regret telling her she could have the dress? A slight moment of second guessing, rethinking my hasty decision to trust this scam of a girl with having any reasonable information. Potent weapons are sold by crafty leaders for future patronage, it was a business, just like my interaction with Brownie. She needed to be trusted for future deals, if there would be any, so she would offer only the best, most reliable news to me. This was my reasoning, my consolation as I pondered her trustworthiness.“He slipped a piece of paper between the door and a hand reached out to take it from him. No doubt the girl’s hand,” Brownie said, and I wondered why she referred to Zara that way. “The girl,” she said, and it angered me. I

I have forced myself to remain quiet and imposed sanity on my raging mind.Two weeks feel like forever when you are stuck in your room with thoughts of a man you are to marry and the woman trying to take him from you.Silence, even though my body ached for adventure and my heart longed for the extermination of a certain person. I have never felt such hate, such anger and jealousy because of a person, not even to the man that raped me as a child.My emotions towards him were conflicting to say the least. I do not know how I feel about the man that harassed me, tore my clothes and opened me up to a world I have come to enjoy. Maybe enjoyment is an overstatement because the thrill that comes with not being tied down to a man was exciting but at the same time the pleasure was satiable unfulfilling.I want to be tied down. I want to be loved by someone, by Xavier. Only two days now.Today is like any other day for the last two weeks, ex

I was too afraid to ask who it was so instead I crouched down on the floor and waited for the intruder to tire himself out and leave. I hoped he would leave.The knocking continued and after a minute or two I knew that he would not go away. Could it be that Alpha Damon was back to inflict more pain or he was going to finish me off properly this time?Each time the handle of the door moved, I felt my heart almost leave my chest. Like I was naked, I felt exposed. The only thing that separated me from the intruder was a door, a relatively small, wooden bathroom door."Open up Zara. It's me," the voice behind the door announced. I know that soothing low pitched voice. I'd recognise it anywhere. Its lustre was distinguishable even in the midst of confusion. Xavier's voice was calming.I opened the door, relieved to see him standing before me because part

    Chapter 100Zara's POV"Where is it?" Loud footsteps came before the thunderous voice announced itself in the room and the tall, dark man appeared before me. A sense of danger immediately engulfed me. His deep blue eyes were marked with a hint of boiling red rage."Where have you hidden it?" He repeated himself, a rarity for the alpha of the Bloodmoon pack. His rage was apparent but something lay beneath it, masked and well hidden by the anger but I spotted it. It was one thing I knew too well, fear.Underneath the guise of anger was an intensifying fear. Alpha Damon was afraid. I was afraid. This foreign feeling would no doubt bring with it unpredictable actions. I had never seen Alpha Damon like this, I did not know what to expect, not like I did all the other times he burst in with rage but something was different about him this time, more dangerous."You better tell me where you have kept it," he said and started walking closer towards me. My heartbeat immediately quickened as he

I hate to admit the truth, which is the fact that I cower before my father, the man who had been raised high and mighty by the exaggerated stories, endless tales that Lady Rose told of him, of their past together.She said, "our past," when she referred to her and my father's shared experiences, like there was something more to it.I felt pretentious. I asked Zara to put her faith in me. I asked for her trust when I was not even sure of my plan. How could I expect to help somebody else when I could not even help myself. All these years living under my father's wing, under his watchful eye, I had never defied him.I should blame aunt Rose for my compliant behaviour. I like to believe that she was the one that kept me in check."He has his reasons," she would say, making excuses for his unfatherly actions or, "give it time. He'll come around." Her words barricaded

I can never escape that fear.Alpha Damon is back in the room. He does not look happy. I did not expect him to be. I am just happy that I made it back to the room before he got back.More movement. He is searching for something, rummaging endlessly through his belongings. I dare not to ask, I dare not disturb his search so I sat quiet, frozen. My mind drifted to earlier in the day, with Xavier.He whispered his plan to me, as though we were not alone and someone could sneak up behind us as he spoke. I liked the feel of his breath against my ear."That's it?" I asked, unsatisfied by what he had told me. "What next? We can't possibly..."He raised his finger to my lips and stopped me from talking.

Everything was perfect.Xavier lay next to me, quiet and motionless for a while. His fingers had been stroking the side of my cheek very softly and slowly."I love you," he whispered in my ear. Our bodies were mingled under his sheets, just like I had imagined him with Riana.His words sent shivers down my spine. I felt as every syllable travelled from my ear to the rest of my body. Love? Too soon? I barely knew Xavier Elord. There was an undeniable connection between us but that was it. It did not change the fact that I met him a few weeks ago. I did not say it back. Awkwardness and silence lingered in the air, until, like a rotten smell, it dissipated.I looked at him to notice that he was not waiting for a reply, he was not even looking at me. He appeared to be sleeping. His face is peaceful and begging to be left alone."I have a plan to get us out of all t
