~Zara~"Tell us what it is Zara. It is very rude to keep people in suspense," Julian complained and every other person in the room supported her with a groan. "Calm down at least allow me finish breastfeeding," I retorted. Breastfeeding, I could not believe I actually said that word. George was in the kitchen preparing something for me to eat and no one saw it fit to help him out. Ever since I came home that day from the hospital, up till the date of my delivery, I caused him nothing but work. There was always something I wanted or did not want. I blamed the fact that he got me pregnant whenever he complained about me being too demanding. I would ask him to carry a supernatural child in his belly for a couple of months and see how it is. "Name the child already. We don't even know it's gender," someone else grumbled from the crowd and I laughed. Almost everyone I knew and cared about was around after they heard I had delivered the baby and had already gotten home. I felt honored
~ZARA~He is my mate!Pedro Wade is my mate?Can my life get anymore eventful?I am seated in my chambers—his chambers actually. It has been twenty four hours. Twenty four hours of me seating in this chamber, twenty four hours of devote skincare and being surrounded by the infinity Wolfgang to watch my every movement and every action.It has been twenty four hours since I found out that Alpha Pedro Wade is my mate and in the next twenty four hours, he would be hosting a grand ceremony all over infinity city to announce that we are mates.I wince at the thought, my fingers digging deep into my skin in dread and anger. I could possibly use any means to get myself out of here, of course I wouldn’t even have come here in my own accord had the ruthless sonofabitch didn’t demand that the Wolfgang forcefully makes sure I am present.That’s right,Alpha Pedro never asked. He demanded.My chest heaves slowly when my mind casts back to the demise of my parents, to the moment when my hatred and
~PEDRO~It’s twenty four hours to the day when I would be revealing my Luna, my mate. Zara WilGeorge s. Everything and everyone in infinity city would be gathered at this grand event.To say I looked forward to this day is an understatement. I am very much ecstatic about this day although, deep within, I am aware that my mate. Zara Alonso isn’t as pleased as I am. The cold look she shoots at me upon her arrival to the chamber crowns the suspicion.She hates me.And I know if given an opportunity, she would stab her claws into my heart and make sure to feed them to dogs. I toss the thoughts aside, we could fix her hatred someday but for now, I can barely focus especially when Lia keeps running her fingers into my scalp. She’s been at it for a few hours now and it’s starting to get really annoying. I try to hold in my annoyance, taking her hands off me.“Okay Lia, that’s enough.” I say and she hisses under her breath.“Is it because of her ?” she asks rhetorically. After I had told he
~ZARA~The curtains are drawn open and I’m standing in the direction of the spotlight focused on me. He’s looking at me expectantly, I could sense the trails of helpless hope he carried within. Like he was desperately pleading that I honor moon goddess wishes.However, he’s perfect at masking his hopelessness with a daring stare. I let out a sigh, and take my first steps in. Today is the day when I finally put to an end this nightmare. The crowd is hooting and howling in excitement and for a nanosecond, I wonder if George would be doing alright. He’s not here. The light pack are not friendly to vampires. Funny how I have always known that Alpha Pedro was my mate.Yes, I’d realize this from the first day I ran into his chambers pleading for help, when he gazed at me, even when his hands grazed my skin. I could feel the tingles and spark shoot through my spine. Fortunately, I had fallen in love with George . The kind stranger who was quick to offer me assistance when I needed help.I h
~PEDRO~The sound of the cups, plates and cutleries clatter to the ground in blind rage, shaking everyone still present in the hall. I ball my fist in anger, letting a low growl escape from my lips.I am angry, furious and embarrassed.All along I knew this would happen, I saw it coming but I did nothing to stop her hoping she would have the sense to not take any stupid decision she thought about. I am visibly shook with rage that I could think about is tearing her down I’m the most brutal way for such humiliation.I immediately sent my men, the Wolfgang, to go after her. Heavens know where she has disappeared too. I do not even want to know because the moment I set my eyes on her, there is one thing for sure I was going to do.Break her.She has humiliated me enough. One thing that would spread throughout the whole of almight town and I can already imagine the unbearable rumors going around:Alpha’s supposed Luna had rejected him.What are shame?!I feel so sad for him.The thought
~Zara~I am gradually taking in the dimness of the building. The smell of cinnamon tea wafts through my nostrils. Someone is brewing tea, George is the only one with me so I figure out that much that he is the one making the tea.The pain hitting my spine is massive, the small cuts and bruises are not healed yet. And as much as I try to figure out what is happening, It becomes impossible every passing second. I can not hear any faint sound coming from anywhere that is not a spoon clinking the teacup and for some weird reasons, I am suddenly alarmed.I immediately get up with a start, running frantic gaze around me. I try mumbling some spells that mother taught me to when I needed focus. Nothing is happening asides the increasingly rapid panic. Warm hands grip at my wrist, startling me immediately.I turn around, letting out a gasp. It is George . He is holding a teacup with another filled with steaming cinnamon tea and his other arms are on me.“Hey, you are safe now.” He reassures.
~Pedro~Zara…I can not sleep, it is hard. I try not to imagine so many possible things that may have happened to her. A part of me cusses at me. That this was all my fault. Maybe if I had not tried to please father too much, maybe if I had done something about her parents death…we would not be here today.I shake the thoughts away, burying my face deeper into my pillows. Zara is not anywhere in the city. Who knows where she might be? My mind reverts back to Lia’s statement.“I can help you find Zara. As swift as you ever you want it…”I recall narrowing my eyes at her, mirroring the glint in her eyes as she spoke. For once, I am desperate to do anything even if it takes listening to Lia.“How?” I ask, “how do I find Zara?”She laughs hysterically, staring at me the same way someone will stare pitifully at a dumb child. I bit my insides to stop myself from flaring up, not when I still need all the information I can ge
~Zara~It is funny how I am here with George , in a strange city and In a cozy apartment with zero idea of what next step to follow and endless hours of trying to pick just one person’s scent that isn’t George .I am trying to channel my whole wolf power and magic into making out something but nothing seems to work. I can not perceive, can not hear approaching footsteps and my magical powers seemed to have gone on an unsolicited vacation.A low feeling of panic immediately hits me and I become restless, endlessly pacing about in a disorganized manner. I do not have my powers as a wolf— the realization clouds my senses, plunging me into a frenzy.What do I do? How do I manage? What if Pedro’s men are still out there? How do I get out of this mess?I am becoming hysterical each passing minutes, my mind is raking and the wheels in my brain are working endlessly, trying to figure out this whole situation with me.‘Okay, let us do it this way, calm down Za

~PEDRO~"I do not want to go," I argued strictly with Lia but she seemed to have had her mind made up. "We have to go. She is legit," she insisted. I sat still, not moving from my position. She was trying to persuade me to follow her to a witch down town who could tell our future. I saw it as a waste of time and money, I had other pack duties to face. "Lia, I have things to do other than listening to a witch. I have not much good lucks when it comes to having encounters with witches remember," I defended, not even wanting to go but also not wanting to give her a direct no for an answer. "Then I'll ask for the witch to come over. It will be the best. She was the one who predicted that I would be Luna one day and here I am. All I had to do was work well for it," Lia explained further earning a groan from me. "Will that not cost us more than expected?" I peered and she nodded her head. "Yes, but you are alpha remember. Money has never been an issue for you," she chimed and I sighed
~Zara~"What?!" I was breathless for the next couple of seconds and my jaw was down and my eyes were wide open. "Congratulations ma'am," the director walked right in, holding a file in his hands and giving it to George. I was carrying a baby in my belly. The news caught me off guard, I knew how I was supposed to react to it and I wanted to do so but I was way too stunned to even make a statement. My hands crawled around my belly as I tried to listen to an extra heart beat but then I remembered my werewolf aid was no longer available. "I'm pregnant," I murmured quietly. "Yes," George seemed to be very overjoyed by the news and he continued to hug me every once in a while to tell and show me how happy he was. "I'm carrying a child inside of me," I defined the term pregnant again to myself and this time, tears clouded my eyes and I made no effort to hold them in. I was having mixed emotions. Somewhere in me I was overly joyed to know that George and I were going to be parents soo
~Pedro~Proud was an understatement, compared to how I felt at the moment. Nothin could wipe the smile off my face. I was the new new alpha or alpha's. A dream come true, finally. The wives of the former alphas has already reached their family few minutes ago. I got news from each and everyone one of them. Yes having them kidnaped and using their vulnerability against them made me look like the bad person here but desperate times called for desperate measure. I did what I had to do and it was worth it.I am my father's son and his method of ruling runs through my veins. Everyone continued to congratulate me and I never stopped any of them, not even even once. It all helped to swell my head, I hoped that the news spread fast and reach all comers of the earth. I won the fight and I barely even made any moves. Deep down I hoped I sparred with at last one of the alpha's. I needed some blood to be shredded but they all backdown easily like cowards. It was pathetic how attached stro
~Zara~There was absolutely nothing to do, it was a weekend and I had no work. But for some reason, George had to leave me again to attend to somethings at the council. I sometimes feel a lot jealous when I realize how much effort and time he puts into his work. But then I remember how he treats me like a queen that he says I am. He's the sweetest thing and I could not find myself getting mad at him for long. Picking up my television remote, I tuned the station once again. I hoped I found the right program to watch fast because my mind was going crazy from the boredom and it was eating me up fast from the inside. The whole thing I was doing was worthless. My belly made a low growl and I remembered I had not eaten since morning. It also meant I had to find what to cook, George had already spoiled me with making me foods now I was too lazy to take care of myself. I turned my head to the direction of the kitchen, contemplating whether or not to get up and get some food. I looked at th
~Pedro~We were waiting patiently for both Alan and Denver to just make the damn call so we can get this over with. I really don’t have the time for this.Their Lunas were sitting in a dark room but they weren’t tied up or anything. We let them be free. I don’t have time to torture people or fight a goddamn war. The werewolf society might have rules about this sort of thing but this is the time to change their goddamn rule and give us all a chance to live even after competing.Fine, I am not saying this because I am a good person. I am just saying this because I want to take the cowardly way out and I don’t want to have to kill anyone because I wouldn’t want to have any casualties on my neck or anything like that so it’s only wise that I do it this way. Kidnapping both their Lunas and getting them to withdraw from the competition. They aren’t really withdrawing per day just submitting to me.It wouldn’t be really hard with Denver because he is obsessed with his Luna. A tiny looking wo
~Pedro~After the counter attack that we have the Ray pack, they have been pretty silent for a while and I will like to think of it as a calm before the storm. Lia is so busy training hard because she felt like I beat her too easily at the sparring we both had but all explanations that I had to give that it was because I had been learning how to fight since I was born and well, I am an alpha too so I will be more stronger fall on deaf ears.She told me that she felt weak but I know that’s all a lie. This is happening to her all because she is feeling so goddamn nervous about the war and I have told times without number that I have got this under control. But for now, while everyone slaves away training and shit, I am sitted here in my chambers with my tablet and I am watching this series on Netflix about werewolves. This is my way of distressing. You wouldn’t understand until you are the leader of a bunch of people who think they are going to die because there’s war looming on the hor
~Zara~This is really fun. You know, having a boss who was once rude and grumpy to you and now even though he is still rude and grumpy, he is not so bad anymore because y’all had an encounter and now he respects you. I wouldn’t say respect per say—it is a little begrudging but now he behaves better and not only to me but the other co workers. Park was excited as hell.He and Pérez had a really epic fallout the last time that Pérez thought he did something wrong again and he thought about quitting. I couldn’t exactly tell him not to do what he wants to do. He is an adult and he can make his own decisions but also I think I will really miss seeing his face at work and his false flirtiness.The relationship between Pérez and the rest of the co workers shifted dramatically last month when he had some breathing attack. I was about to tell him that some teachers were here to see him because they want the students to come here for their art class but instead I met Pérez laying on the floor,
~Pedro~We werewolves must be psychopaths because ever since I brought the news back home to my pack that we are at war with the Ray pack that is Denver pack and starlight pack which is Alan’s pack, they have been really excited. Dylan was making good on his promises, he supplied me with over two thousand soldiers.We were still good friends and the pack was confident that victory was ours in this war. Lia, not so much. She was completely pessimistic and got angry at me for taking such a huge step without telling her but I don’t really care about what she thinks. Before my father died, this was what he wanted for me and no matter how much I hated the man, it was a good thing to want for himself and his son but it is not a monarchy and even if my dad has the title, I will still have to fight for my own place at the table.It’s good though not having everything handed over to me on a platter of gold. That will be bad for me and my reign as alpha in the light pack.Lia walked into my cha
