Lena’s POV:

I got up and walked out to the living room to find Zephyrus sprawled on the floor. He was wide awake, staring at the ceiling with a melancholic look on his face. At that point, I felt guilty for driving him away.

He focused his eyes on me the moment I took a step towards him. Strangely, he didn’t say a word, waiting for me to speak. It was the most awkward situation in my life, and shyness gripped me hard. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I tried again. With his piercing gaze watching every move of mine, I faltered, acutely conscious of myself.

I took a deep breath.

‘Try to look unaffected, Lena. You can’t afford to encourage him and get knocked up now,’ prodded my inner mind. Yes, that was the last thing on my mind. I couldn’t handle a pregnancy!

“You can come back to the bed if you wish to rescue your twin tomorrow.” He raised an eyebrow at me in disbelief.

“How are the two related?” he asked, still lying on his back and watching me with interest. I squirmed

    Lena’s POV:I ate in silence, his words echoing in my head. My heart thumped wildly, knowing he loved me. At least there was someone in the world who loved me. But did I deserve someone like Zephyrus? Could I ever love him back? He deserved so much better. “What will you do when you’re crowned the king of Aromania one day? Will you leave Lucania?” I asked to stop the other thoughts from driving me crazy. “No, Lucania is mine. I can’t leave her. I’ll be the Alpha of the Luceres Pack as long as I can. Maybe I’ll pass it on to our son one day.” His blunt reply made me blush. I couldn’t see that far. How would I give birth when I knew nothing about pregnancies? “What about your kingdom, then? Who will take your place?” I diverted the topic of our offspring in case Zephyrus considered starting his pup-making plans tonight. He told me about his family in Aromania, his uncles and cousins who would readily accept the responsibility. He told me about his growing-up years in Aromania, where

    Zephyrus’ POV:“There’s no other entry point. We have to climb over,” I explained after Leandros and I inspected the surroundings. I wasted no more time and used my claws to grip the Sugar Maple tree growing along the boundary wall. I shifted instantly and climbed with ease. Leandros shifted too and tied his clothes around himself for use later. This section of the garden was deserted, and we easily jumped onto the other side of the wall. I shifted back, and so did Leandros. He quickly put on his clothes, and we stealthily approached the house. “What if he shoots us? We aren’t carrying weapons.” “We’ll face it when it happens. I can’t shoot him if he’s Hera’s mate.” Leandros nodded, and we dashed across the garden towards the house before the guards could detect us. We stood plastered against the wall beside the back door when I froze. Was Hera trying to establish a mind link with me?‘Why are you here, Zeph? Your life is in danger here. Go away!” she warned me. ‘No, I won’t leave

    Lena’s POVThe moment Zephyrus left, I looked around for the library reluctantly. I had no wish to sit and read books when I had a mission to accomplish. This was the best place to ask around for Cassie, and I couldn’t let go of this opportunity. I took a detour toward the sprawling kitchen where the pack members prepared meals for the inmates. I didn’t know any of them since every time I came here; I was busy in a meeting with Alpha Atticus. I peered into the kitchen inhabited by mostly female workers, busy preparing meals and chatting. How would I find Cassie here? Whom could I ask? I gingerly walked in and looked around. There were three middle-aged women chopping vegetables in one corner. They looked kinder and more experienced than the younger lot giggling around. Maybe they had been around for some time. As I approached the trio, one of them walked away, leaving the other two behind. I stood beside them, fidgeting with my hands, when they looked up at me with surprise. “Hello!

    Lena’s POVThe footsteps grew louder and in the blink of an eye a pack of vicious blood-hungry wolves surrounded me. They bared their bloody teeth as they enclosed upon me. There were almost forty members, and I couldn't fight them. “Who are you?” growled a gruff voice behind me. It echoed all around the place, making my blood curdle with fear. On a battlefield, my pack always surrounded me, but here I was all alone.“Who are you? Why have you encroached on our territory, Lucania?” I demanded bravely, whirling around to glare at a black wolf, a size bigger than the usual alphas. “I am Alpha Zach from the Mystique Moon Pack. Who told you this is Lucania? You’ve crossed Lucania and encroached into my territory. This is my village, Delavik, and you’re our prisoner. Surrender, rogue wolf!” I looked around to check my whereabouts. Had I really crossed the borders and wandered into their territory? No, it didn’t seem likely. I could see the boundary way ahead behind Cassie’s cabin. Alpha Z

    Lena’s POVI gaped at him while my heart constricted at his allegation. Did he really think I had escaped to Alpha Zach? I didn’t even know the guy! “Are you crazy? Why would I escape to him?” I muttered, fixing my towel securely around me. “Now can you leave? I need to wear my clothes.” He turned a deaf ear to my words as his heated gaze swept over me. It sent a warm flush up to my cheeks. “There’s nothing I haven’t seen before. Answer me!” “That’s an absurd question, Zephyrus.” “No, it isn’t. Your academy is near Delavik. I’m sure you collided with Alpha Zach many times. So, what does he have that I don’t?” His voice was laced with annoyance while the fire in his eyes was enough to burn me as well. A shudder went down my spine at the thought. He sprang up and approached me, like a predator towards its prey. My eyes widened, and I stepped backward, but my back touched the wall behind me. I knew I was trapped! Would Zephyrus punish me for no fault of mine? It was evident he was je

    Lena’s POVHe came up to kiss me while my head reeled from the realization. My body is limp and impossibly warm and I could still feel him inside me. His kiss was lingering, gentle, giving me ample time to catch my breath. All the anger had already dissipated, being replaced by tenderness. It was a unique feeling completely. I just hoped he believed me. I had to clarify that I hadn’t gone to Lake Lucemite to meet Alpha Zach. “Mate!” he whispered against my lips while I whimpered in response. I couldn’t deny it now. I could feel myself tied to him. The connection between us was impossible to ignore. He slipped out of me, easing out his c*ck completely while I watched in awe. No wonder I was feeling so full of him! Now that he was out, I missed his warmth immediately as a tremor hit my body. With a low growl, he wrapped his arms around me, and I felt warm again. “Talk to me, Lena.” I nodded and opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. I felt totally spent. “You’re mine now!

    Zephyrus’ POV:I saw the jaw-dropped look on her face and rolled my eyes. Didn’t she know already about Cassie? Why couldn’t she admit she went to meet Alpha Zach? A fresh wave of jealousy shot through my body at the memory of the enemy. It made me want to embed myself deep inside her again. Then she wouldn’t be able to think of another! ‘This time, it’s my turn,’ growled Zeus. ‘I’ll decide that.” I curbed him for the time being. The heat inside me rose as I continued to glare at her. Yes, I was jealous, excessively so. Why wouldn’t I be? Regardless of my aura, I was having a tough time controlling my urges around her. I couldn’t tolerate the heat! Finding my mate, marking her, claiming her, yet having her thinking of escaping me was the worst punishment I could get. It was horrible and torturous! “I’m sure that’s a different Cassie. I’m looking for an Omega who used to serve my mother twenty years ago.” Her voice brought me out of my reverie, and I gave her an impatient look. “It’

    Zephyrus’ POVIt relieved me to know Alpha Zach was dead. I stopped right in front of the enemy and looked at the warriors who had tied him up. “Untie him.” I wasn’t one of those who chose an easy kill. Even if he was the enemy, I would give him a fair chance to fight me before I killed him. My warriors untied him, but the foolish enemy laughed sarcastically. I watched him furiously. It was obvious he had no idea of my power!“Are you letting me go, Alpha? Scared, aren’t you?” He chuckled, but I shifted into my wolf form in a second, towering over him. His smile vanished as he stared at my colossal form. “I fear no one! I’m allowing you to fight me before I rip you apart.”He staggered a few steps backward, but I sprang at him to grab hold of his neck as tightly as I could. All the mirth instantly left his face as he sputtered and thrashed against my sheer strength. I picked him up effortlessly and slammed him against an enormous boulder. He groaned in agony, but it only angered me f

    Zephyrus’ POV I left the spy girl under Alexandrios’ care and headed to the prison to wrap up the unfinished work I had there. I had to reach the root of this. 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
