last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Zephyrus’ POV:

After the phone call, I felt relieved. Hazel would stay with Lena until I returned. I wanted her to accompany me, but I changed my mind at seeing Hera’s disturbed state. However, Hera’s behavior towards my mate worried me. I didn’t address the issue now since Hera wasn’t in her right senses, but if it continued, I would definitely have to talk to her. Lena was my fated mate, and I would always stand up for her, even against my sibling, if she was wrong.

We flew over the dark, looming, mountainous terrain towards Hay River in silence. Leandros and Lyra were exceptionally quiet since the time we boarded my helicopter. Hera looked relieved as she rested with her eyes closed.

I wanted to meet Lena before I left, but with Leandros waiting outside, I couldn’t take the risk. I had expected Leandros to escape with Lyra. Anything was possible for him! I knew his reckless nature so well! Thankfully, he didn’t, or Hera would have driven me crazy.

    Lena’s POVI relished every bite of the food he made for me. “Which is your favorite food?” he asked, making me ponder over his question. I didn’t have favorites. I loved anything that tasted great. “I don’t have any favorites. Whatever you make for me is my favorite!” I admitted honestly. He really had magic in his hands.“Even Hera says so. She loves everything I make for her.” I smiled at his candid admission. “Understandable! You two have been inseparable until now. So, who else loves you for your culinary skills? Did you use food to impress the entire female population of your kingdom?” I couldn’t hide the jealousy in my tone. What could I do? I was bursting with jealousy. Not for Hera, but for the other women in his life. He was a descendant of the royal family. His good looks and fighting skills should be an added attraction for the females of Aromania. Then how was he still single? He chuckled instead of answering me, taking the time to chew his food while I was bursting wi

    Zephyrus’ POVThe feel of her warm tongue on the mark turned me on. I ached to knot her like I had never done before. Now I knew how she felt when I touched the mark I gave her. I smiled at her impulsive move! She was so unique, marking me the way I had marked her. I didn’t know if any Alpha had ever been marked this way, but I didn’t care. I was hers and she had the right to mark me.I had never in my wildest imagination expected to feel this euphoric. My mind was in emotional turmoil as she raised her head and looked at me. I drowned in her beautiful blue eyes, finally giving in to the temptation. Reaching out, I grabbed her cheeks to devour her lips. She purred with delight and it drove me crazy. I needed her so badly. I could never have had enough of her. “Kiss me, Zy!” she whispered, her hands caressing my cheek. I stilled, loving the name immensely. It made me feel cherished, as if she loved me. No one had ever called me that. “I love you, Lenn!” She smiled and closed her ey

    Zephyrus’ POVI strode towards the main entrance to check the footprints Lena had just mentioned. With the heavy snowfall, it should have been covered up already. Just as I had expected, I opened the main door and found no footprints outside. Getting a shovel, I went out, yet there were no traces of footprints anywhere. The snow had covered them all. I returned to the cabin with a frown, wondering if it was Romanov. No, it couldn’t be. He would have returned alone. I looked at Lena’s agitated face and smiled to relax her. I didn’t want her to worry unnecessarily. Whoever they were, I could easily fight them single-handedly. “Did you see the footprints?” I shook my head, making her frown. “No, the snow might have covered them up. So, what type of footprints were they? Human or animal?” Her frown deepened as she tried hard to recollect. “I think similar to ours.” I was immediately on high alert. Were we trespassing in someone’s territory? I needed to call Stavros to find out from th

    Lena’s POVI gripped my dagger as I waited for Zephyrus to open the door. If he had expected me to hide while he fought the enemy, he was wrong. I could quite help him in any fight. However, Zephyrus relaxed as he went near the main door. Maybe he had recognized the creature on the doorstep. He opened the door with a look of relief to see David standing there, covered in snow. “Hey, Alpha! I just dropped by in case you needed something!” I gave him a look of relief, although Zephyrus didn’t look surprised by his presence. “Come in. We’re in a fix.” He opened the door wider to allow David inside. “What’s up, Alpha?” He looked at Zephyrus with concern. “Did you see any footprints in the snow? Or maybe someone outside the cabin?” David shook his head but scrunched up his nose. “No, but there’s a strange scent around the cabin. I’m sure there are notorious wolves around here. Being a rogue for five years, I’ve learned to differentiate between scents.” Zephyrus looked excited while I

    Lena’s POVI stopped instantly, realizing the purr was emanating from Zephyrus’ chest. It wasn’t a satisfied sound at all. It was like an angry hum! “Who were you talking to for so long, Zephyrus?” He grunted in response and stormed into the kitchen. I frowned at his change in attitude. What happened to him? What did I do now? I placed the tray on the table and followed him to the kitchen to see him pick up a bottle of water. The angry hum had transformed into a low growl by now. It seemed he was immensely angry, but with whom? Was he angry with me? I just couldn’t understand what I had done now to deserve this treatment.“What’s wrong?” I asked, coming to a stop beside him. He snorted as he chopped the vegetables and dumped them in a pan with the meat. I couldn’t figure out what he was making. I had made sandwiches already. “What about the sandwiches I made?” He grunted again, not answering me at all. What was wrong? I walked out of the kitchen, frustrated by his lack of response.

She’s my mate, Hera!” he stated, but Hera scoffed at him. “Really? I thought you didn’t believe in that?” She brushed past me without acknowledging my presence. I glanced at Zephyrus, feeling insulted by his only family. What had I done to deserve this? “I’m sorry on her behalf. She’ll come around.” He caught my hand and followed his twin, but I didn’t wish to join them. I could hear squeals echoing through the house as Hera and Hazel met in the living room. As we walked inside, they sobered and Hera glared at me again. Suddenly, I had the wish to disappear from the house. “Sit, Lena, please,” Zephyrus leaned in to whisper. How did he know I was contemplating an escape? “You both carry on. I’ll make dinner.” He pulled me down on the sofa beside him, paying no heed to my excuses. I could feel Hera’s angry gaze pinned on me wh

Her defiance aroused a fierce wish inside me to punish her. I knocked again. This time the sound echoed in the still night, waking up everyone all around. I didn’t care! The door flew open and Hazel stood there with a startled look on her face. “Zeph? How did you return tonight?” My glance went to Lena, who emerged from a room to gape at me. “Yes me. Did you think I wouldn’t find out what you’ve been up to in my absence?” I snarled with fury, my gaze stuck on my mate. It was strange how she held my gaze, not looking guilty at all. “Find out what, Zeph? We have done nothing in your absence.” I held up my hand to stop Hazel. I wasn’t interested in listening to her excuses. She wasn’t bound to obey me, but Lena was. “Lena, let’s go home.” She nodded and went inside to get her stuff. “You’re overreacting, Zeph. Aunt Cassi

How could they house the underage female spy in the male prison? I called Stavros and asked him to reach the place immediately. He had some explanation to do tonight. 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

    Lena’s POVA Week Later: The last two days had been a roller-coaster journey for me and Zephyrus. After spending three days at the resort, a call from Stavros disrupted our peace of mind. Those three days were the best ones in my life. Zephyrus and I enjoyed every attraction in and around Yellowknife during the daytime, while on the nights we mated like there was no tomorrow. However, we were brought out of our mating haze with a jolt. Stavros and Homer had captured a female spy trespassing on the southern boundaries of Lucania. Although her identity was still a mystery to all, they suspected her to be Felixe’s spy! We had to return home, and ever since, Zephyrus had been extremely busy trying to find out the threats looming over our heads. With my Luna Ceremony scheduled two days later, I had been busy too! “Lena, will you talk to the spy? See if you can make her spill the details of her mission!” I shut my laptop and turned my attention to my mate. I had been busy with the regi

    Lena’s POV The ice-cream did wonders to my body. Since the time I was at the ice skating rink, I started feeling an intense heat accumulate in the pit of my stomach. 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

I was glad I could help her reunite with aunt Syble. It made me feel relaxed. I know she wouldn’t leave me now. Despite the exhaustion, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She’s beautiful! 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
