Zephyrus’ POV

I went inside Annabeth’s house, hoping to get some lead on Lena’s whereabouts. Annabeth gestured for me to sit on a couch while she sat opposite. Under the dim light, I saw the bright, highly reflective crystal ball on the table, the size of a grapefruit. I sat down, watching her work on the crystal ball. She lighted two candles on either side of the obsidian crystal ball. With her half-closed eyes, Annabeth placed her hands on the orb, muttering some chants to create a perfect scrying spell.

“Follow me,” she whispered, and I did. Soon my mind relaxed, and I entered a spiritually relaxed state. She released the ball and guided me to focus all my energy on the ball.

“Who do you want to see?” she whispered, as if in a trance.

“Lena.”

She breathed deeply and gazed into the crystal ball for minutes, chanting some obscure things to herself. I watched hazy black smoke forming inside the crystal ball. Soon it filled up the entire ball and a hazy image of Lena trudging ahead

    Zephyrus’ POV“Air-drop me here, David! Find a suitable place nearby to land. I’ll call you if I need you.” I called out to my pilot. Strapping my rucksack and sword to my body, I was ready to save my mate. David air-dropped me near the entrance of the cave and left. I trudged onto the mouth of the cave to find a blood-soaked Xara lying inside, breathing hard. My heart sank with dread at seeing my mate’s condition. “Xara?” I gasped as a painful howl escaped Zeus’ mouth. Taking out a bottle of water from my rucksack, I rushed to her side and kneeled beside her. “Xara, here, have some water. I’m here to rescue you,” I comforted her, holding the bottle to her snout. She drank all the water and opened her bleary eyes to gaze up at me with surprise. “Zy, how did you find me?” Tears welled up in her eyes with disbelief. My eyes took on the purplish wound on her forehead that had swelled up immensely. I could sense Xara trying to heal herself! “I won’t stop pursuing you, Lenn. I’ll seek

He went through shit to find me! I felt a warm surge of emotions course through my mind and heart at his announcement. Maybe it was relief, comfort, trust, or something else. I wasn’t sure. I was pretty bad at understanding these warm emotions I started experiencing ever since I met my mate. Was I warming up towards him? Or was it love?He pulled me away with him and I just tagged along. His presence relaxed me. I knew now we would rescue my mother from Evelyn’s clutches. “We should shift to cover the distance faster,” he suggested, strapping his sword and rucksack to his body. Soon we shifted, and I picked up my clothes with my mouth and dumped them in the rucksack for later use. We hiked through the gray limestone, slate, and sandstone landscape as fast as our legs could carry us. The desolate place looked

    Lena’s POVA wave of anger coursed through my body, realizing Evelyn’s intent. After torturing my mother for years, I couldn’t let her harm my mate. They destroyed my family, leaving me an orphan for the last twenty years of my life, but not anymore. I intended to rescue my mother and end Evelyn’s story once and for all. “We’ll kill her instead. None of her minions can stop us.” Zephyrus tightened his hold on my hand and led me away. I knew no one would attack us as long as we were with the humans. The sun was mellowing, and it was getting colder as we left the Lafferty’s Canyon and forged ahead. Once out of the human hiking spot, we shifted into our wolf form to cover as much distance as possible. I matched his speed with ease, but repeatedly, I could sense a shadowy figure stalk us throughout the way. “Can you feel its presence, Zephyrus?” I whispered breathlessly.“Yes. I’m waiting for an opportunity to grab hold of it.” “Do you think the Shadow Wolves are back?” A shudder went

    Lena’s POVMy head was spinning from the exhaustion and I couldn’t travel anymore.“Please, can we rest a little, Zephyrus?” He looked at me with concern and turned to Romanov. “Is there anywhere we can take shelter for the night?” “Yes, I’ve found a vacant cave close to the rapids. It’s a popular canoeing spot inhabited by humans. It lies in a restricted area and we can easily take shelter there in the night. Most of these monsters avoid such places.” We negotiated sharp, rugged peaks as he led us to a cave near the gushing rapids. On the leeward side, facing the drier grounds, the place was dry and we could easily rest in the night. Zephyrus arranged some leafy branches on the floor for me to rest on. “I’ll get some trouts for dinner,” said Romanov. “I’ll help him. Don’t go anywhere. We’ll be right back.” I nodded, and Zephyrus left with Romanov to the river outside. I could hear them outside and it comforted me to know they were nearby. I rested my tired body on the makeshift

    Lena’s POVLike a true guardian, Ikiaq guided us through the valley, covering as much distance as we could in the broad daylight. The place was the remotest and most uninhabitable region on the entire planet. Throughout our journey, apart from a handful of Dall sheep, caribou, grizzlies, and hawks, we hardly saw much. Maybe it was because of our speed.Urko was the fastest amongst us and we struggled to keep pace with him. Zephyrus, although fast, opted to stay by my side rather than rush. I was thankful for his presence near me. He cared for me in ways that left me flabbergasted. Every step I took, he was there to guide me. “Let’s stop for a drink. Lena’s thirsty,” he announced, totally surprising me. How did he know I was extremely thirsty? We stopped for me near a frozen lake. Zephyrus broke the ice to create a perfect hole for me to drink the water. Everyone lapped up the water greedily, the exhaustion taking a toll on us. We had to run across the uninhabitable territory, avoidin

He and Ikiaq were beside me in a split second to guide me back to the others. “Where were you off to? Didn’t I tell you to stick to my side?” scolded Zephyrus, nudging me closer. I shuddered at what would have happened to me if I had gone into the cave. “It’s not her fault. Bronco is a master of hypnosis. He might have pulled her towards him,” said Romanov when we reached him.“Yes, I could feel someone beckoning me towards the cave through a mind-link. It wasn’t Evelyn this time.” Zephyrus instantly readied his sacred sword to fight the enemy. “Where’s Bronco? Is he inside the cave? Can you see him?” “He’s a shape-shifting vampire! I can feel him around us, but he can’t appear as long as the sun is still up. These creatures cannot tolerate sunlight,” informed Romanov while I shuddered at his description.“Stay close, Lena. I can feel his presence near me,” whispered Zephyrus.

    Lena’s POVZephyrus sprinkled Annabeth’s magical silver dust to make us all invisible. The cave was enormous and we could easily walk in. We entered the cave cautiously but before we could reach the open door at the other side, a loud hiss made us stop. We were instantly on our guard, knowing it was none other than Sergio. We stayed as quiet as possible to gauge the monstrosity of the creature. The walls of the cave vibrated as a giant serpent with huge fiery eyes slithered through the door towards us. It was larger than Ikiaq as well! For the first time, we were glad to be invisible! The serpent’s evil eyes looked around for us. Maybe it could sense our presence in the room. It was the opportunity we needed to target its third eye to kill it. Zephyrus sprang towards the creature. Before he could see the sword, Zephyrus pierced it into the gigantic eye in the center of his head. A loud earth-shattering hiss pierced the air as the creature writhed in pain, thrashing frantically in the

It stretched on and on until we felt exhausted, covering its entire length. “I think she’s using her evil sorcery to divert us,” said Zephyrus, breathing hard from the exhaustion. My legs ached from overuse and I could totally understand his condition at the moment. Yet he didn’t show any annoyance. “Maybe she wants to drain us out so that we can’t fight her,” said Ikiaq. “You’re right. Can’t you use your psychic powers to lead us to her?” asked Urko hopefully. “I’ll try, but I can’t do black magic.” He lighted a flame using the lighter and closed his eyes, using his psychic powers like earlier. Within minutes, he created a fiery ball and released it in front of us. The fire burned down the path in front of us, making us realize it was nothing but an illusion! We were in the middle of an enormous cave with cages attached to the walls surrounding us. Each cage had a strange creature imprisoned

I stormed into the prison complex in a state of fury. The guards trembled at the sight of me, having never expected me to return! Now in Lena’s absence, I could rip their hearts out for what they did to an underage girl. “Call all the guards here. Where’s Brutus? Call him right now!” I paced the floor of the prison office waiting for Brutus, our old superintendent, who had been here since my father’s time. “Brutus hasn’t reported for almost a month, Alpha.” Stavros arrived with an agitated look on his face. “What’s up, now? Did the spy open her mouth yet?” “No. She’s not in a condition to open her mouth.” Stavros blinked and focused his attention on me. I f

It caused a burning sensation between my legs, making me all worked up. I was in Zephyrus’ arms then and the heat build-up made me restless. Now I felt a little better after enjoying the two ice creams. He held me close as we sped towards Point Lake Resort and Spa and the momentary relief I was feeling subsided. His nearness, his warmth again, brought the burning heat back into my body! Was this normal? Although twenty, I had never experienced this in my life! Maybe I was going into heat like all the female wolves did! Zephyrus inhaled sharply and tightened his hold on me. Did he sense it? “Are you alright?” I could feel his sharp intake of breath as he leaned in to nuzzle his face into my neck. “Yes.” It was a shaky whisper as weird sensations rocked my body. I just couldn’t restrain the urge to break into my wolf

    Lena’s POVHazel bundled everyone out before Zephyrus’ return. It puzzled me since I hadn’t informed her about our date tonight. Maybe Zephyrus had. After all, she was closer to him than to me. With no time to spare, I got ready in a black knitted dress, pairing it with a matching jacket, stockings, and boots. These were the clothes Hazel had got for me.At first glance, I thought they were a waste of time, but now I was thankful to find something to wear for the occasion. I never possessed such fancy clothes in my twenty years of life, surviving on bare essentials only, but tonight was different. Tonight I wanted to look my best. I wanted to dress up for my mate for the first time in my life. I wished I had some money to buy some clothes for myself and my mom. Maybe I would get a job somewhere before starting my dream venture. It would help me invest too. The front door clicked open, and it brought me out of my thoughts. I heard footsteps approach the bedroom, and my heart skipped

    Lena’s POVIt was morning already, but I was too sore to get up. I could hear Zephyrus move around outside, but I couldn’t join him. After much effort, I somehow limped towards the washroom to freshen up. Despite the pain, I felt sated, and euphoric, as if floating on cloud nine. The bedroom door opened and Zephyrus entered carrying a breakfast tray laden with enough food to feed a battalion. “Why did you make so much?” I chuckled as he set the tray down on the coffee table overlooking the deck. When he pushed the curtains aside, the view took my breath away. I had no idea there was a lake in his backyard. The frozen lake shone under the pale sunlight “You need to eat to get back your strength, Lena. After what you’ve been through, you need it more than I do.” He held my hand and led me to the sit-out. “Mmm, smells delicious! I could get used to this every morning!” He smiled, and we sat down to tuck into the delicious eggs Benedict made to perfection. The steak burrito and berry

I could drown in him forever without a connection with the outside world! I felt intoxicated, addicted to my mate! He sat down with me straddled on his lap. His lips immediately attacked my neck, sucking on the mark, and I arch my neck to give him better access. His mouth was driving me crazy. The mark worked like an erogenous zone that always triggered a burning need in me. “What do you want, Lenn? Do you want to ride me or eat me? Or do you want me to do the honor?” I grinned at his choices because I wanted them all. How can you choose between oxygen and water when you needed both? “All of them. I want to start with eating you, but you have to close your eyes.” He chuckled at my response. “Nope. I want to see you all the time.” Blushing at his fiery, unwavering gaze pinned on me, I eased off him

My little Lena. Despite the age difference between us, we connected with one another so well. I had never expected I could connect to a stranger so well! My eyes were drawn to her creamy complexion that radiated a glow all around the bedroom. This time, it was the mark I gave her that glowed the most. It stared at it, as if under a hypnosis, watching her soft, pale locks brush against it. Although I had expressed my wish to make love to her again, I couldn’t wait a second more. My c*ck itched to be inside her again, but maybe she’d be sore. Maybe she needed a little rest. These thoughts made me sigh and give her a little time to recover. My c*ck twitche

    Lena’s POVHe carried me to the bed, laying me down gently. Glancing down at my exposed body, a low and possessive growl escaped his lips, making me shiver. He eased onto the bed, slowly, while holding my gaze. As he hovered over me, his legs pinned me to the bed, yet his unwavering gaze seemed to watch my reaction minutely. “Show me how much you missed me!” I smiled, knowing how to please him. As we lay heart to heart, skin to skin, I surrendered my soul to him forever. He dipped his head to kiss the mark he gave me. The swirl of his wet tongue against it, the warmth seeping through me, was enough to turn me on. I could feel his erection grinding into me and I dug my nails into his shoulders while my hips moved of their own accord to meet his thrusts. With a possessive growl, he moved downward, trailing his mouth from my neck down my chest to latch onto my left breast. With his thumb teasing the other one, I could feel my arousal growing to new heights. My breathing was shaky. I
