~ Zora

Confused, I stared at him. “How is he our dark horse?”

“If he’s still in any way in love with you, we could use that to our advantage,” Nox said and things began to make sense. At first, guilt set in, at the thought of using Tyler, then I remembered he used me too. He knew he was going to betray me yet he strung me along and took my virginity before announcing his engagement to another.

It’s only quite fair that I return the favor and use that to get in on Emilia’s plans.

“But there’s one problem though.” I said to Nox, “He marked her which probably means she marked him too, his loyalty to her will be strong and I accepted his rejection, there’s nothing that binds us anymore, I doubt he’s still in love with me.”

“We’ll never know until the wedding,” Nox said, planting a kiss on my shoulder.

“Do you think they will come?”

“I know they will come,” Nox replied. “Who wants to lose an opportunity to enter the sacred lands of the lycan territory? If I were Emilia, I’d do my

    ~ Zora Standing on the steps of Nox’s house - my house, I and two servants waited patiently for Roman to drive in and park. From where I stood, I could tell that Roman was not happy but before I could think about it further the door to the back seat opened, and out came my sister who looked just as miffed as he was. Uh-oh. The moment Hailey saw me though, her frown transformed into a big happy smile and she ran to me with arms open wide. I ran and met her halfway and as we hugged, we jumped around together like we were kids again. When we finally pulled apart, Hailey took a step back to take a good look at me. “Wow! Zora, you’ve changed!” She commented, her face filled with awe. “You look amazing!” “Thank you,” I said, feeling uncomfortable with compliments as always. “You look good too,” I added, although that wasn’t true. Hailey had lost a significant amount of weight, there were bags under her eyes and her shiny curly hair now looked rough and lackluster. Hailey frowned, g

    ~ Zora I shouldn’t have snapped yet I found myself lunging for Hailey with the intention of grabbing her throat. In a split second, Nox put himself between us while Roman pulled Hailey behind him. No matter how much I tried to walk around Nox, he wouldn’t let me. Eventually, I got frustrated and paced around, feeling too much to stand still. Rage and desire fought within me and I found myself torn between making out with Nox and attacking my sister. “Can someone please tell me what’s going on?” My sister asked and Roman murmured an answer to her. “Oh.” She exclaimed. “That makes so much sense now.” She looked at me with similar blue eyes as mine. “Sorry, Zora. You know I love you right? And I would never do anything to hurt you.’ Somewhere in between all the chaos I felt, I knew I wasn’t acting right. I knew Hailey wasn’t trying to seduce Nox, yet, I couldn’t bring myself to control the rage inside me. Nox stepped closer in an effort to touch me but I stepped out of his reach. A

    ~ Nox I knew something like this would happen, but I didn’t expect it to get this far. I had informed Darius to brace for any kind of hostility from packs he’d been doing business with. The plan was simple. If other packs refused to do business with Moon Circle, then he should draw back his shipments and I would personally connect him with people who would do business with his pack. Now, not only were Darius’ shipments being called back. It was under attack. “I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go.” Roman said as we stepped outside the manor. “Why not?” “You know why. It could be a trap.” Roman explained. “Send Cain and Sydney with me. They’ve been dying for some action anyway.” He said with a glint in his eye. I sensed what Roman did there but I thought about it. “I can’t pull my Gamma and Delta from sector three just because I fear things might get a little too rough.” “It’s not just that. You’ve stationed them at sector three for way too long. Giving them this will re

    ~ Zora 46 By the time we heard from Roman, it was late afternoon. He simply called to inform us that the fight was over and that Darius had taken his wounded home but most of the shipments were destroyed. Darius later called to speak with Nox, and I took the time to excuse myself and check on Hailey. Before coming to Nox’s office, I had shown Hailey to her room and handed her over to Emelda who was more than happy to show her around. A quick mindlink to Emelda and I found them sitting under a weeping willow having cakes and tea with Penelope picking flowers near them. I took a moment to watch my sister laughing happily, I couldn’t remember the last time I saw her this happy. My joy would have been complete if my parents were here too and I was for once actually close with my mother. Before I could get sad, I shook the thought from my mind and approached them. The moment Penelope saw me, she raced towards me and I bent down on my haunches to embrace her. “I have missed you!” She ex

    ~ Zora “Where?” Roman asked, turning his chair around to face her before sitting. “Back at my pack. He came with some others in a car, like around midnight.” Hailey explained. “I was on my way back home from work when I saw the car pull up into the soldier’s territory. I asked Joe about it and he said they were contractors.” Confused, Roman asked, “Who’s Joe?” “Joe is her boyfriend for research purposes.” Nox answered. When Roman continued to look confused, Hailey decided to explain further. “But that’s dangerous.” Roman said. “I know, and I’m being careful.” Hailey said. Roman turned to Nox. “I don’t like this.” “I don’t either but she’s the only one that can get us vital information without raising too much suspicion.” Roman nodded. “So Emilia is working with rogues now?” “Makes sense if she doesn’t want anything being traced back to her.” Sydney said. “But where is she getting the funding to do all these?” Cain asked. “No one has heard from Emilia or her pack in fifteen

    ~ Zora According to tradition, I was supposed to spend a day apart from Nox before we got married. So, I found myself back in my old room the next morning, reminiscing on how things used to be before everything changed. Before Nox went out, he gave me his credit card and a kiss on the head for anything I needed. Staring at the card, I wondered what I would use it for. “Are we not supposed to have a bachelorette party?” Hailey asked, sitting on my bed in a hello kitty pajamas pair. After a shower and a good night's sleep, my sister was looking better than when she first arrived. I sighed and went to sit beside her, leaning my head on her shoulder. “I don’t know. Abigail has us booked to the nines.” I cringed, thinking back on those witchy looking women telling me I was not good-looking enough. I wondered what they had in store for my sister and I. “Isn’t your mate going to have a bachelor party?” Hailey asked. “I don’t think so.” I said, uncertainly. “Nox doesn’t seem like the type

    ~ ZoraI had never been to a club before. Everything from the flashing lights to the exotic dancers in cages above, to the music and decorum excited me. Falcon was a club for the non-humans. There were different kinds of people here including vampires, faeries, werecoyotes and so many more. Sydney had informed us that there was nothing to worry about as these kinds kept to themselves, and as long as Falcon was on Nox's territory, they weren't allowed to make any move that could cause harm to others. As we walked in, they stared at us and I could catch some whispering amidst themselves but most of their attention was on Sydney who strutted and held herself like a true queen. I smiled to myself. Her plan was really working and I was free to have fun. Sydney led us to a bar where we ordered drinks and then proceeded to the dance floor. Everything was going well until I felt eyes watching me. I ignored it at first but it kept getting intense, and amidst the sea of people and strange s

    ~ ZoraNox cursed and went silent on the other end, then he came back. "No matter what you do, stay in the car. Understood?" "Okay." I said. Sydney and her men growled at them and then all hell broke loose. The rogues jumped out of their hiding place onto the road and began their attack. Compared to the Lycans, they looked small and scrawny but they were fast and agile, slashing and clawing at my men. Some rogues aimed for the Lycans surrounding the car we were in and my men fought against them, killing them instantly with a slash or by gripping their hinds and slamming them on the ground. Because we were surrounded I couldn't see much. Emelda whimpered next to me and I put my arm around her shoulder rubbing it in a comforting manner. Hailey's fearful eyes met mine and through our gaze we communicated our fear as well as our hopes. One of the Lycans standing directly outside my window fell and watching him die brought a great sense of pain and loss to me. A feeling so intens

    ~ ZoraSeveral Months Later"Let me help you with that." My husband said, collecting a wedding present from my hand and taking it to the car. I stood in disbelief. "I'm just pregnant, you know? I'm not an invalid.Nox closed the car and gave me a shrug. "Well you have no choice." He bends down and holds my big belly before giving it a kiss. "As long as you're carrying my babies, you will do as little as possible." He came back up to kiss me and at first, I had my mouth closed refusing him entry. Then he tickles me in persistence causing me to laugh and give in. I wrapped my arms across his shoulders and leaned in deep into the kiss, letting him explore my mouth and ravish my tongue. He never ceases to amaze me with how much he could get my body to respond to his touch and make me want more and more of him. I felt a fire starting within my core and I quickly broke the kiss. Breathless, I stared at him and found him grinning to himself. "We can't continue or we'll miss the wedding."

    ~ Zora By the time I arrived back in Parsivia, driven by the man Roman left behind, I could see my people already in the process of packing their things. I wondered where we would go now that Emilia was getting her lands back. Once I arrived home, I sprinted out of the car and into the house. I was surprised to find that servants had begun packing as well. They bowed to me with smiles and I acknowledged them before asking about Nox. They told me he was upstairs in our bedroom so I ran up the stairs and.dashed straight for the room. The moment I came in, I found him standing at the balcony behind billowing silk curtains. He turns and finds me standing by the door and he crosses the floor to me while I do the same. By the Gods, he smelt so much stronger and looked so much better, that by the time he touched me, my body came alive like wildfire.I pulled his face in for a kiss and moaned into his mouth when his lips sent delicious warmth down my mouth and straight to my throbbing cor

Nox moves towards Troy and in seconds has Troy's head removed from his body.Tyler fell back on me and I had to hold him gently as I sank to my knees. Emilia rushes to his side to check his wound.Someone calls for a Healer we were told that yet they were tapped out and even Nox was spent too. Fortunately, Tyler's wound wasn't immediately fatal so he was quickly carried to one of Troy's cars. There was a pack closer to the scene which also turned out to be an ally of the Moonrise pack, we decided it was best that he was driven there for treatment.Roman offered to drive us and I had to go meet Nox, "I have to go. I need to make sure he's okay.""Go." He said but there was a certain sadness to his demeanor. "I'll watch over your family." I approached him and despite the blood he had splattered on his face from killing Troy, I kissed him on the lips.

    ~ ZoraIn shock, she grabs his wrist trying to get his hand off her neck as he slowly lifts her off her feet but he wouldn't budge. "Hey!" Tyler said running in but was soon stopped by about half a dozen wolvescoming out of nowhere, almost surrounding him and snarling at him to go no further.“It’s a damn ambush!” Roman mutters, stepping back while staring at something from afar. I look in time to see wolves coming out of the woods around us. They surround Nox, Roman and the other lycan soldiers. "What are you doing?!" Emilia chokes out from Tyler's grip. I could see the fear and the disbelief in her features as she looks at the man who once meant something to her.. "You dare come here barking orders at me? Who are you to believe you can be a ruler over me?"Emilia fumbles for words, clearly speechless! Her face suddenly became red as her eyes slid to mine. “Help me, please!”"Zora, get away from there right now!" Nox mindlinked me and I see him walking towards me despite wolves sn

    ~ Zora"I can't do that!" I immediately responded. "I can't kill Nox!"Troy gave me a sympathetic look that was meant to be mocking. "I guess your sister will have to die then." He said and turned to leave. Behind me Hailey coughed and I had to make a decision in a split second. "Wait!" Troy stopped in his tracks and half turned. "Yes?" He drawled with a malicious grin. I used that moment to try and invade his mind but I was instantly met with a blinding white light followed by a great pain hammering through my head. I cry out in pain as a result,, falling to my knees and holding my head in my hands!Troy’s laughter echoed towards me as he came closer. “I knew you would do that! Now, ain’t that a bitch?!” He chuckled. “You think I’d be dumb enough to come down here without fortifying my mind and that of my men against your power? Come on, Zora. You should give me more credit than that.”My head continues to hurt as if an electric current just passed through it. “What you just expe

    ~ Zora"Zora, wake up!" A groan escapes me when I feel hands on my face and open my eyes. My vision goes blurry at first seeing a warped figure above me but when I blink a few times, a person's face comes into view."Mom?" I ask. "Yes dear." She said, stroking my hair. I immediately went still. The last time my mother had stroked my hair, I was eight and had fallen terribly sick. It was an illness that lasted months and was part of the reason we quickly went broke. My mother noticed my unease with her affection so she stopped, retracting her hand from my hair. Behind her was darkness that I was unfamiliar with and around us and around us was a smell so bad, I had to sit up. Doing that caused the worst headache I had ever had. A pounding ache assaulted my head and began to pulse in my right eye.Another groan, yet I chose to look around. "Where are we?" I asked.My mother shushed me gently and whispered, "We are in a cell."At her words, I instantly became very alert. "A cell? How

    ~ TylerI shouldn't have but I had already started counting the days until I would see Zora again. Our last encounter had left a bitter taste in my soul and my spirit, corrupting my nights and leaving me sleepless. The harsh words that poured from my lips and became the stones that I threw at her now played over and over again in my head like a bad soap opera. I knew if I truly wanted to have peace, then I needed to see Zora again and beg her forgiveness.This was why I was a little bit excited when the guards came to drag me out of my cell to an unknown place. I was so riddled with thoughts of seeing Zora again that when I was brought into an office which had only Emilia, Nox, and his second in command, I automatically searched for her. "Where's Zora?" I asked as the guards worked on adjusting my chains so I could sit in a chair next to Emilia. Nox was seated while Roman stood and I noticed how both men looked sad and angry at the same time, as if something terrible had happened.

    ~ NoxWhen Elsa died, it felt like a part of me had died with her too. Before her, I was in a funk, dealing with the consequences of having a cruel father and a depressed mother. Growing up, Roman was the 'ray of sunshine' who didn't let me stay entirely in the dark and when Elsa came, she totally brought me into the light. She made me feel entirely vulnerable with my guard down. She was a girl I'd do anything for, including fighting my demons and conquering my fear of letting another human into my heart. Everything was fine until the curse took her and she died with her hand in mine. That was when I began to freefall into the deepest darkness I had ever been in and put up layers and layers of protection around my heart.And then Zora came along and began to chip away. She was a woman with a hammer breaking through my shield until she got to the last layer. Elsa. It was a layer I wasn't ready to bring down, not when death hung over her head. Now I find myself wishing she'd walk t

    ~ ZoraI woke up to the rhythm of my own heart beating and when I opened my eyes and looked around, I couldn't help the frustrated sigh that left my mouth when I realized I was in a hospital again. "Zora?" A familiar voice called and I turned my head to the right to see Nox sitting in a chair close to me. "Thank the gods, you're awake." He said, taking my hand in his. Although, I felt sparks tingling up my arms, they felt more like an inconvenience rather than something enjoyable. "What happened? How did I get here?" I asked, racking my head for my last memory. "You don't remember?" I shook my head. "The last thing I remember was…" I pause, suddenly remembering myself drowning. "... dying…and then you pulled me out."Nox met my gaze and I suddenly felt a mixture of guilt and relief emanating from him. "You saved my life." I concluded. “Thank you.”Nox responds by taking my hand to his lips and kissing it repeatedly and it should affect me in a positive light but the more I look
