Zoe's POVI didn't know how Lady Shaw roped me into this, and what's even amazing is how she managed to smuggle me out of the mansion without a single one of the press members knowing that the Alpha's fated mate and grandmother were in the car getting away as evening enveloped the pack.I bet everyo

Zoe SimmonsMy mind was wrapped up in the thoughts about my fiancé, John as I walked into the large auditorium that we used for pack meetings. Here at the Silver Moon Pack, we are always accepting new members in attempts to grow our pack. It was one of the few things we did that made our pack differ
I tried to hold my tears until I was alone.“John? Do you know her?” Alyssa asked placing a hand on his che-st. The one that I was rarely allowed to touch for years.“Lyssa, it’s not what you might be thinking. This girl and I, we’re just friends.” John lied blatantly on my face and I was shocked to bear witness to this side of him.“Don’t get the wrong idea by what she is wearing. She is going through some stuff. Must’ve gotten upset when I couldn’t be there to help her.” He had the audacity to twirl a stray lock of her blonde hair around his finger as I stood watching in shock.“Oh, in that case, hi. I’m Alyssa. I think I remember you from today’s meeting. You were sitting at the back right?” The man-stealing bi-tch smiled and it stung like a viper. She extended a hand as an offer to shake mine and I glared at it.John squirmed as I refused to shake hands with the woman he cheated on me with. I glared at him, holding back the tears pooling in my eyes.I scoffed. “Oh, that's your gen
Zoe's POVAfter my conversation with my father, I immediately went to look for John. Since he was the Beta, he was often at the Pack house’s office wing. I was hoping to find him there today as well.I stepped into his office without knocking and found him sitting in his big chair like he owned the world, a glass of champagne in his hands so early in the morning.“What’s the occasion for this early celebration?” I asked upset. Heartbreak was one thing, but he had also attacked my only family. This was not the man I had fallen in love with all those years ago.“Who allowed you to come in? You, like everyone else, need an appointment for a trip to the Beta’s office. You can’t just drop in like this!” John stood up, daring to act disrespectedly."Why are you doing this?" I asked, my mind racing but struggling to find the right words. My heart was shattered, and the frustration made it hard to think straight."What am I doing?" He leaned against the big wooden table, acting like he had
Zoe’s POVThe tag brought some unpleasant feelings in me. I felt like I needed to be angry. That there was something I needed to say to anyone who belonged to the Werewolf Council.I leaned over as if to tell a secret but found that he was already leaning toward me. One of his hands was covering mine that was holding the glass on the counter. His other hand came to tip my chin upwards for a better angle. A tingle ran down my spine.He was slow, allowing me to move away if I wanted to. But it only made me want to do it more.So, when his li-ps brushed mine, the spark that we felt at the touch was undeniable. He leaned in and captured my mouth as I allowed him entrance. One of my hands absentmindedly landed on his thi-gh that was between my legs as we sat facing each other on the bar stools.---We kissed for what felt like forever. I didn’t care what anyone at the party thought. He finally pulled away, and I was left breathless. My mind was a mess of emotions. Without thinking, I whisp
When I got home, I was startled to see Aunt Julie crying.She kept worrying, “John is so heartless, he's so cruel! Your father supported him to become the next Beta, and now he is going to send your father to the dungeons. Your honest father getting locked up for years, maybe a lifetime!”It made me feel even worse. I sat up and wiped my tears angrily but more took their place immediately, “You know what, everyone in the pack knew that John was going to get engaged to another woman and not me. But they knew she belonged to a powerful background and let everything happen. They know my Dad is innocent. They have always respected him for his values and honor. But nobody said a word as John got Dad locked up for a fraud he didn’t commit.”“There has to be a way to save your father.” Aunt Julie said as she placed a comforting hand on mine, “Maybe there is something that John wants so he would spare your father this humiliation.” I thought for a moment. There was nothing to lose in making

Zoe's POVI heard a knock on the door, and I groaned. I understood that Olivia wanted to do her job properly, but it was high time that I was left alone. I was tired of her hovering outside my door, asking if I would like to eat something every hour on the clock since last night. No, Olivia. I'd li

Xavier's POVOkay, Zoe was mad. She was so mad she hadn't just confronted Fiona, she had worn my shirt for it, and hadn't even glanced my way before walking out of the room.The only part that made my heart flutter was my shirt. She was marking her territory, and it was so attractive. She had accept
Zoe's POVI stood gawking speechlessly for a moment. All my rage dissipating into disbelief. She had made herself at home already."Would you like to come in?" Her soft, calm voice brought me out of my trance, and my brows furrowed.I walked in with my head held high, "I will do whatever I want in M
Zoe's POVI couldn't sleep. How could I? How could anyone after being humiliated in public with the news of a promised wife of my mate right before my vows of coronation? I had controlled my tears when the ceremony was interrupted. I couldn't lose it in front of a hall full of strangers for whom I
Xavier's POVMy cuffs are rolled. My top button is undone. My hair is messy from all the times I have run my hands through it. I have no idea where my coat is. My feet are more sore from all the pacing than when I was tortured in Riverwoods. It's looking terrible. Zoe hasn't come out of her room. O
