Chapter 6

~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 get from Lia.

“Honey this of course is classified information. Do you really think I will just give it generously away like that?”

Lia sure has a fine way to stepping on my nerves and getting away with it. Little wonder why I haven’t yet tossed her aside—probably in the dungeon— since she could still be useful.

“So what is your offer Lia?” I asked dryly. And her face lights up brighter than it ever had as she claps excitedly, pulling herself closer to me. The slip on dress she has on is exposed. I could see her cleavages even if I don’t intend to. Lia drops one palm on my shoulders, slowly guiding me to the bed.

“That was so straight to the point, Alpha Pedro.” She said sultry, her fingers working their way to my crotch. I do not stop her, not when her touch is becoming pleasurable with each passing second.

“So tell me then, what is your offer?” I ask again, my voice is huskier than intended as she narrows her face towards my neck, placing a soft deep kiss on my neck while using her hands to trace  the buttons of my  shirt.

Slowly she brings her lips to mine, taking them into hers and sucking on them slowly, I reciprocate the actions—away from common sense while I kiss her back, sucking on her lower lips before gently slipping in my tongue in hers.

A low moan escapes from her mouth as our tongue work each into each other, she is stroking me and my hands are under her bum, kissing her fiercely. What started out as a slow kiss immediately becomes something so fast and needy.

One moment we are kissing and the next moment, our buttons are undone and we are stroking and thrusting, into each other. It becomes so heated that at some point, we both transform into our wolf form and back, moaning and growling at our desires. We are going hard at each other and I can bet myself to have lost my sense of reasoning, why Lia wants to help…everything.

We climax together.

She pushes herself off from me, sinking into the bed and letting out low pants as though trying to catch her breath.

“I missed you—” she says, breathlessly, “I miss us.”

An idea takes form in my head and I stylishly lean closer to her, placing a soft kiss down her neckline.

“Maybe if you tell me your classified information, there will be away to get back together.”

She scoffs out a small laugh, averting her gaze to rest on me, “you must think I am stupid, Pedro.”

“No. Not stupid, just stubborn.” I say instead and she rolls her eyes, throwing herself up from the bed.

“I want to be your Luna when I am sure you have found your supposed mate and have had her killed.”

A rumbling boisterous laughter emits around us and it took me a second to realize that the sound actually came out from me. I was laughing hard at her request. Who won’t? It sounded so ridiculously outrageous. Except that Lia didn’t think so because she kept staring patiently at me with a disinterested look on her countenance.

I stop laughing, giving her a now serious stare, “What do you mean by that?”

“I mean everything I said. That I want to be the next Alpha female, your Luna when Zara has been killed for disobeying moon goddess wishes and of course,” she narrows her gaze at me, the smirk is back on her face, “for the cruel humiliation she made you face in the whole of almight town.”

“Lia I do not think this is somewhat of a good request, moon goddess choose her to be my mate so even if….”

“Lalalala—” she cuts me off. My gaze hardens on her, I am balling my fist together, for once I should be able to take in her annoying self.

“Are you going to be truly the coward Zara thought you to be? C’mon, show me then. After all, you may just be hiding as brave behind your father’s image—”

“That is enough, Lia!” I growl, my hands are tightened on her throat in a jiffy. I do not even realize when I was that swift to have her in-between my hands. Her smirk is spread widely across her face as if daring me to kill her— prove to her that I am a coward…

I groan aloud, releasing my grip on her neck, causing her to let out choking breaths. She is coughing, still recovering from the pain and seizure of breath.

“You are insane, Lia.”

“Well…what do you say to my request?”

There is no telling what Lia would request for again and to think that all these is happening because of Zara makes me driven with anger and rage. I frankly do not care about what happens to her again, I was going to do anything and everything to make sure she pays for what she did.

And as for Lia, there willl surely be away to take care of her, not just this moment. So I turn back to her, with a false smile on my face.

“First  off, I apologize for what I just did.” I say unapologetically and she hisses.

“For trying to kill me? C’mon Pedro. You really can not even say the words bravely…” she shakes her head at me and every action just makes me want to pummel her very existence into nothingness.

I hold myself back.

“Yes. For trying to hurt you. Maybe it is high time you just said what you know about Zara’s hideout and I would consider your request—”

“Or maybe it is high time I left with my report and when you are done trying to consider my request, you will ring back at me.” She says getting to her feet.

I run my hands through my hair, fuck. Did she really have to be this annoyingly stubborn.

“Fine.” I hear myself say. Cussing inwardly at myself as she stops on her tracks, with her back facing me.

“I will make you the Alpha female and my Luna if you tell me where and how to find George .”

She does noy say anything for a moment, before finally turning to me with a satisfied smirk drawled on her face.

“It was not that hard to say, Alpha Pedro Wade’s. Nice to know that we are partners from this day henceforth until we have achieved our common goal.” She stretches her hands out for me and I reluctantly take them in mine.

“Great. Now can we get back to the reason why we are partners.”

Lia rolls her eyes at me, “ calm down abit Pedro, we have to take everything slowly until the right time and I can bet you any rash decision we take will blow this whole thing up ”

“Okay then. Do as you wish, Lia. Fill me in what the information you have and after that we can decide what next steps to follow.”

“For once, I must say, Pedro, . That is some reasoning there.” She says, making her way back to the arm chair in my chambers and plopping herself comfortably on it.

“You do realize that your supposed mate is not just out there running alone while your men, the Beta wolves also known as the wolf gang is hot on her heels. ” she divulges.

I am trying to place everything together. It still does not make to me. It doesn’t make any sense what Lia is saying or driving at.

“I do not get you. Are you trying to say that there is someone out there who is helping to hide Zara?”

“Bingo.” She chirps, crossing her legs over each other, “and that reminds me to ask, what is your history with Zara WilGeorge s? Because frankly, I do not see any logic reasons as to why she’d reject your proposal as bitter as that.”

“That is not  the reason why you are here, Lia. You are here to help me catch Zara and not question me about my history. Boundaries, Lia wright.” I warn.

She throws her hands to the air in mock surrender, “Sure. So let’s proceed.”
