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
Lena’s POVI ran out of the pack house in a state of dilemma! After Zephyrus left home in haste, I was restless fighting the voice that prompted me to escape him, but this time I didn’t want to listen to it. A strange, contradictory force pulled me back from escaping my mate. All I could feel was Zephyrus’ tortured look, and my heart ached for him. No, I wouldn’t leave my mate! I went to Hazel’s house to meet Cassie, but she had gone over to the pack house to meet Carla. I had to know who it was that beckoned me repeatedly. After meeting her, I felt too disturbed to think straight. Flashback–At The Pack HouseThe moment I introduced myself, Cassie’s eyes filled up with tears of joy. “Cassie, please tell me what happened to my mother that night. Did Magnus kill her?” I just crossed my fingers and hoped he didn’t. “No, they took her away with them.” Cassie’s eyes filled up with remorse and she broke down completely. “I couldn’t save her. They tied me up and locked me in the attic. Wh
Lena’s POVAs if sensing my need, his eyes glazed with desire and he smashed his lips to mine. It wasn’t a gentle move at all. I could feel his lips move roughly over mine, stealing my breath away. He grabbed hold of my head and slipped his tongue through my parted mouth. The sensation was so intoxicating; it made me dizzy. Instinctively, I cupped his jaws to kiss him back. All I could feel was his warm mouth devouring me and his scruffy jaw that felt so good to touch. A low rumble escaped from his throat, making my body react to him. The throbbing escalated, and I felt abnormally wet deep down there. I kissed his mouth softly, biting his lower lip with abandon. A deep, thunder-like groan escaped his throat. In an instant, he flipped me over, pinning me to the bed with his body. His relentless mouth didn’t leave me even once while his hand went down to the hemline of my top. His hand slipped underneath my top, inching upward toward my bare breasts. With his mouth still feasting on m
Lena’s POVHowever, the next morning, I woke up late. The sun was glaring at me through the gap in the window curtains. The first thing I thought of was to clear the misunderstanding between us. Despite the tiredness, I had been restless the whole night dreaming about it. I got out of bed, but strangely, the house was eerily quiet. Where was Zephyrus? I quickly freshened up and rushed out of my room to check. Thankfully, the soreness had reduced, and I felt energized.I stopped short at the sight of Hazel sitting in the living room and sipping some strange drink. I looked around, but there was no sign of Zephyrus anywhere. “Hazel? Where’s Zephyrus?” I approached her, and she turned her head to flash a grin at me. Finishing her drink in one gulp, she rose, picking up some shopping bags she brought with her. “Zeph had left for the pack meeting. He has asked me to get you ready and bring you over. Don’t escape this time, please. He has sent two bodyguards for you. They’ll accompany you
Zephyrus’ POVI looked out of the conference room to see the pack gather on the sprawling pack house grounds. Soon I would have to address them, but for that, I needed my future Luna by my side. It would strengthen my position and help me gain the trust of my pack. “Haven’t Hazel and Lena arrived yet?” I turned to Stavros, who stood beside me with a grim look on his face. “Not yet. I can’t connect to Hazel. She has blocked me for the last two days.” I noticed the bitterness in his tone. Of course, I knew his equation with Hazel. They fought like children! They could live without one another, yet they had a game of rejection going on between them for a decade! “Why don’t you accept her as your mate?” I suggested, but he grunted in response. “I have already, bro, but she’s just taking out her revenge on me.” I rolled my eyes at their never-ending melodrama. “Claim her then. I’m sure all your problems will cease.” “Maybe yours will too,” he smirked as he turned to leave.I rolled my
Lena’s POVI felt relieved when he didn’t announce the date of the Luna Ceremony in front of our pack. However, my relief was short-lived. Throughout, I could feel the curious glances being cast my way. They might wonder when it would be held. “Let’s go, Lena,” said Zephyrus, as he led me away from the others. It was difficult to gauge his mood from the shuttered look on his face. Wasn’t he satisfied with the way it went? Didn’t it love up to his dream? Why didn’t he look happy when I was there by his side?The members flocked towards the buffet tables laden with food. It was a treat from Zephyrus to his pack. A formal day of bonding is akin to a coronation. Zephyrus already was the true leader of the pack. Lucania had always been his. He didn’t need a formal ceremony to appoint him the Alpha. He had regained his position the day he overpowered us. The pack members had unconditionally accepted him as their leader.As Zephyrus pulled me away, some of the older female wolves couldn’t co
Lena’s POV Today was the greatest day of my life when I would swear to dedicate my life to my pack. It was the Luna Ceremony today. It’s the day I would be officially welcomed into the pack and given the honor of becoming their Luna.More than me, I could feel Zephyrus’ excitement radiating out of his body in everything he did! He had been wanting this for a long time.Clad in a white, embellished gown paired with a delicate white floral clutch in my hair, I felt like a queen. I was Alpha Zephyrus’ queen!My mom and Hazel had helped me get ready for my big day, escorting me here to the pack house. I was glad of their presence in my life! Now, I had everything I had wished for and more. I had a family, a dream I could fulfill, but mostly, I had a loving mate to spend my life with. I gazed at my mate as he stood outside with Stavros, watching the pack members gather in front of the altar for the event. The moon was at its brightest as if the Goddess was blessing me from up above.A sat
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
Lena’s POVThe look in his eyes made my heart skip a beat. He carried me to the bedroom, not once taking his eyes off me. My body throbbed with need, imagining what we were about to do. 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
Zephyrus’ POVI watched my mate sleep with a soft and blissful smile on her face. It took my breath away to know she was at peace with her life now. 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
