Zara's POV

I didn't even grab anything to eat. I simply bolted from our quarters, shifted as soon as I was outside the packhouse, and ran as fast as I possibly could.

I did not care that I had just destroyed my favorite training outfit or that I had an appointment with my father later that day.

All I wanted was to be by myself.

I simply needed to get my thoughts straight and see things from a different perspective.

I was aware that things were slowly eating me alive from the inside out, messing with my head and making me feel lost.

Maybe Nicholas was right after all since I am still a kid at heart.

"You are not a kid at all!" Kaya growled. "You are just a young adult, that all!"

"What separates the two from one another?" I lost my temper.

Kaya said nothing after that. She knew that nothing she said to me at this point would be helpful. I refused to hear it.

Though I had no idea where I was heading, I knew that Kaya would not allow me to go past the pack boundary. Given my current stat

  • His Rejected Second Chance Mate   Chapter 37 - Groans & Moans

    Zara's POV"Someone seems very happy this morning," Levi teased as I sat for breakfast. He was holding his piece of toast in his hand and had already served him some food. "It appears that the storm washed away all of your sorrows."I laughed and took a seat at the table, grabbing a slice of bread and piling some bacon and eggs onto my plate.Levi narrowed his eyes as he attempted to read me."You seem different this morning," he went on. "Something has changed. I simply cannot put my finger on it."Levi placed his toast back down on his plate, sat back, and watched me for a moment.I felt uneasy about his stare, embarrassed to the point where my face flushed.Could he figure out my little secret?Can I keep this secret hidden for long?"I am not sure what you are talking about," I said, reaching for the strawberry jam jar.While I carefully smeared some jam onto my toast, Levi bit his lip and observed me."I believe you do," he remarked, and I unintentionally turned to look at him.W

  • His Rejected Second Chance Mate   Chapter 38 - Fascinating Details

    Nicolas POV"Looks like someone got it all this morning," Ronan said, peering in through the door of my office.I turned to face him and waved him in."Maybe I did," I said, smiling, and I leaned back in my seat. Just thinking about Zara brought a bigger smile to my face. "I feel like a-""A million dollars?" he asked, raising an ironic eyebrow in response."Something like that," I uttered as I glanced down at the document in Ronan's hand."What's that?" I asked."The information you requested," he said, handing it to me. I set it aside. "Did you manage to talk to Zara?"I nodded in response, and my thoughts quickly trailed off to last night.While Zara slept and the storm raged and poured outside, I was staring at her until the early hours of the morning. I couldn't get enough of her. She looked so beautiful under the fire's dim light and looked even more amazing in my arms.I sighed.Zara fitted perfectly in my arms, and I wanted nothing more than to hold her soft, delicate body aga

  • His Rejected Second Chance Mate   Chapter 39 - Trouble Knocking at the Door

    Nicolas POV"From where did you obtain the information?" I asked Ronan as I turned the final page of the file. Though I never imagined it went that deep, the contents shocked me and made perfect sense for the Nightingale Pack to be supporting the Red Claw Pack."I have my resources," Ronan said, grinning and interlacing his fingers.He patiently waited for me to complete the file review and offer my opinion."Hopefully, this information was not obtained unlawfully," I responded, closing the document. It could put a target on our backs, and I didn't want that. My pack's safety was more important to me."I did not need to; it was all done in favor," he said, grinning smugly.I turned my head to the side and furrowed my brows. My spine tingled with an unholy sensation.What was Ronan getting up to?Who and why did they provide him with this information?Was there someone he was blackmailing?"I do not think so," Ray said, listening in on my thoughts. He was interested to see what Ronan h

    Nicolas POV "Enter," I yelled in frustration as the next round of urgent knocks occurred.I cannot put this off any longer.When the door opened and I saw who was standing outside, my mood plummeted to my shoes."F*ck!" I cursed under my breath.There was trouble coming on the horizon."Nikkie!" I became frozen, hearing the familiar high-pitched voice that set off alarm bells in my ears.The smallest she-wolf I have ever laid eyes on entered the office. Her red lips were painted with a broad smile, expressing her immense happiness at seeing me.My heart skipped a beat when I got a glimpse of her large, gentle baby blue eyes—they were so vibrant and happy."I cannot believe this is happening," I whispered to myself. "She can't be back. I must be dreaming!"I stared in disbelief as the tiny 5'0 foot girl took another step closer.She has changed a lot.Her once short dark chocolate brown hair was now longer and fell past her shoulders and hung down to her slender waist. She still had h

    Zara's POV"Are you sure you want to go alone, Zara?" Just as we stepped outside the packhouse, my worried father inquired. I was on my way out with Ronan to formally seal the agreement between the packs."Alpha, it was just a small misunderstanding," Levi said, glancing at me. "I do not doubt that their disagreements have been settled."My dad arched an eyebrow in concern and looked from Levi to me.I moved ahead, clasped his hand, and grinned."It is all good, father," I said and squeezed his hands to reassure him that everything was okay. "Alpha Nicholas and I have moved past our disagreements.""It is helpful to know," he remarked, refusing to accept my words. "I was concerned.""There is nothing to be concerned about," Levi went on. "Zara and Alpha Nicolas seem to be gradually coming to terms with each other,"With a nod, my dad looked at Ronan."You had better drive carefully with my daughter. Do you hear me?" He snarled at Ronan."Always," Ronan answered, attempting to maintain

    Zara's POV"Cover your eyes," Nic said, handing me a black blindfold.He had been acting a little strangely for the last twenty minutes, and I could not figure out what was bothering him.I looked down at the blindfold he was holding, then looked up to meet his eyes.I was uneasy about his request.Ronan suddenly slowed the car, adding more tension to the request.I kept staring at Nicolas and twitching my eyebrows while he laughed, clearly amused by my reply.As he shifted in his seat to face me, his expression went back to being serious. "What is the issue?""I am not a big fan," I said, pointing to the blindfold."Zara, I promise not to do anything to hurt you," he said, taking my hand and dropping the blindfold inside. "I swear to you. It is just to amp up the excitement surrounding... uhm... the meeting."Kaya cocked her head to the side and looked at Nic. "He is trying very hard to make his surprise as memorable as possible for you," she said.As soon as Nic got into the car, Ka

    Nicolas POVI was experiencing such an emotional overload that I was unsure of how to act, which made me feel both nervous and excited at the same time.I was afraid Zara might not appreciate my surprise as much as I was hoping she would.Goddess, what is wrong with me?Never before have I felt so insecure!"Get a hold of yourself!" Ray growled inside my head. "You are going to give away the surprise!"I gave Zara a sidelong glance and forcefully swallowed. She appeared incredibly perplexed, possibly even nervous about the blindfold I had given her."Leave her to me," Ray said, turning to leave. "You just carried out our initial plan. Do not let anything slip! Do you hear me?"I glanced back at Zara, her eyes pleading. My heart is breaking. Goddess, that look in her eyes! I can't do it!"Don't you dare!" Ray warned, observing the pleading look in Zara's eyes. "She will be alright!""Don't you think it's too much?" I tried to reason with Ray. "Levi did express...""What? The blindfold?

    Zara's POVThe lights around me came alive, and I stood there in amazement. I never imagined Nic would take me somewhere like this."Wow!" I whispered to myself. "It is incredible!""Do you like it?" My ears chimed with Nic's voice. I was so engrossed in memorizing the stunning display before me that I forgot he was standing beside me."No," I said, and Nic looked down, disappointed. "I adore it! It is truly amazing! Why did you choose to bring me here?"Nic grinned and appeared incredibly relaxed, as though his anxiety had vanished.We were at the carnival grounds, and seeing all the rides come to life was breathtaking."I would like to show you around," he said, drawing my arm in with his. "And I will fill you in on everything."With a proud stance, Nic began walking in the direction of the merry-go-round, clearly pleased with himself.After pulling the gate open at the merry-go-round, Nic led the way onto the platform, and I followed him."They remain just as remarkable as I recall

    Zara's POV"Do you, Alpha Nicolas Dalton, take Zara Silverwood as your beloved mate?" the councilor asked.Nicolas smiled at me and rubbed his fingers over my hands, leaving sparks under his touch."I do," he said, his husky voice sending tingles down my body and ending at my core.I loved this wolf more than anything in the world."And you, Luna Zara Silverwood, do you....""I do," I replied, interrupting the councilor."You're always in such a hurry," Nicolas teased, holding my gaze."I hereby, with the power invested in me, pronounce you..."Nicolas didn't give the council a chance to complete his thoughts. He drew me in, crushed his lips against mine, and kissed me deeply and passionately.The wolves howled and cheered behind us, sending shivers down my spine.We had officially mated in front of the Goddess, following tradition and the law.Nicolas pulled away, and I whimpered at the loss of contact. I wanted more. I wanted to taste him again. Pregnancy hormones only intensified m

  • His Rejected Second Chance Mate   Chapter 122 - A huge surprise

    Zara's POV"Zara," Levi's voice chimed in my ears as he opened my bedroom door. "Are you ready?" His gaze swept over the room in search of me. It's been almost a month since the kidnapping.Levi gasped. His gaze trailed over me."Close your mouth, Beta," I said. "People might think you're straight."Levi blinked a couple of times and shook his head. He stepped forward, taking my hand."You..." he trailed off, searching for the right words. "You look amazing. Alpha Nicolas will not be able to keep his eyes off you...""Neither would he be able to keep his hands to himself," my father's voice filled the air, making me blush.My core tightened, causing my fluids to spill out. For the past few weeks, Nicolas and I have been inseparable. We couldn't get enough of one another, and his collection of my panties, positions, and places grew bigger and wider by the day..."Father," I smiled, pushing the naughty thoughts to the side, and reached out to him. He came closer and kissed my cheek."Yo

    Zara's POVI managed to escape from under Levi's watchful eye. He quickly attended to Ronan, and I slipped away into the cave.I took care to remain invisible; I didn't want them to know I was there.I crawled closer on my belly, hiding my scent. I could hear Alpha Jack, smell the sulfur in the air, and feel the vibrations of Nicolas's heart pounding uncontrollably with anger."She's back!" Kaya suddenly mused happily, making me frown."Who...?" My thoughts trailed off, feeling the surge of power burning through my veins."My magic?" I whispered, surprised. "She is back? She feels kind of pissed?"Kaya nodded, getting on her feet. "She doesn't like what Alpha Jack just said!""Me too," I replied.It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen and experienced.The indescribably strong surge of magic coursing through my veins was incredible.I wasn't sure how my magic found its way back to me, but I guess when Jamie changed into that hideous creature, he must have slipped his hold on me

    Nicolas POV"Goddess," I mumbled, astonished under my breath as I watched Zara make her way to the third dragon head. "She is incredible....""Yeah, and irresponsible!" Levi continued, deftly evading a rogue and effortlessly dismantling him.I growled at him.His head snapped to me. He smiled, taking my reaction as a compliment. He grabbed another rogue, snapping his neck."It's the truth, Alpha," he said, dropping the rogue to the floor. "That right there," he pointed out at Zara. "That's precisely how your future will unfold. She has always been a magnet for getting us into trouble!"The dragon-like creature swayed out of control—the two heads were dangerously going at each other.Wolves scrambled out of the way, afraid to be crushed under the dragon's paws."Watch out!" I heard Luke yell over the noise.My gaze snapped back at Zara; she had made her way up the third neck. She was about to reach his eyes when the second dragon head collided with the third, sending her flying over ou

    Zara's POV"Nicolas?" I whispered in disbelief. "Is that you?" His intoxicating honey and vanilla scent suddenly hit my nostrils, calming my racing heart.It was really him. He came for me!I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was different, yet so familiar. He looked and smelled like home.Beautiful raven fur covered most of his body—except for his chest; it was covered in the distinctive silver-colored fur. It was so mesmerizing. It was a symbol of power, stating that he belonged to one of the mightiest silver wolf packs around.I furrowed my eyebrows.What had happened to him?Why was he looking like that?Did he and Ray merge into one? Was this Ray's doing?"Zara," Levi's voice chimed in my ears, interrupting my thoughts. I unwillingly dragged my attention away, seeing him crawling closer. He held a dagger in his hands."What are you doing here?" I whispered, surprised. I didn't expect Levi to help with the rescue.Levi rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed, and huffed."Well, hall

    Nicolas POVIt was hard not to just barge down there and rip everyone apart. Maintaining my composure was a challenge."Is the tunnel clear?" I mind-linked Alpha Rick. He has taken hostages and was now running between the Alphas checking up on them."All the tunnels are clear," he replied. "And all exits are blocked and secured.""Noted," Ronan replied."We are sending two groups of warriors over to Alpha Jack's and Alpha Noah's pack," Alpha Rick continued. "We don't want any surprises.""You can proceed, Alpha Rick," I said. "Be vigilant...""We will. Take care and bring my Zara home," he said, and cut the link before I could say anything more.Now that there was a direct link created between Alpha Rick and me, he would be able to link me directly.The new gift was not only exceptional; it was handy as well. I could select in mid-mind-link if I wanted and needed to have anyone else join. It especially became handy when I needed to strategize and give out orders, and the best part, th

    Zara's POV"I guess you ran out of things to say," Jamie taunts with a grin. He had finished setting up the candle circle around me and was admiring his work. He seemed pleased."It's really a pity," he went on. "I actually enjoy talking to you. If it were under better circumstances, I might even like you. We have the potential to develop a close friendship.""Not a chance," I sneered, rolling my eyes. "I could never be friends with someone who turned his back and betrayed the Moon Goddess...."Jamie pouted and nodded his head slowly as if he was considering what I just said."And you are about to do the same...." he chuckled, finding the situation humorous and ironic.I raised my gaze to find his. I had that burning need to slowly claw that grin from his face.My temper boiled over, and I growled, fighting against the ropes that he had tied me down.That made Jamie laugh even louder."So feisty!" he said. "No wonder Alpha Jack instructed me to bound your magic. You have your father's

    Nicolas POVMy blood felt like lava boiling inside my veins as I witnessed Zara being tied down at an open altar. She and Alpha Keiran, at the looks of it, were in deep conversation while he tied her up and prepared for the rituals.I couldn't get rid of the feeling that whatever Alpha Keiran was telling Zara was terrible. Her face had turned pale, and she looked as if she was about to burst out crying or throw up.My mind went into automatic mode, my body complied willingly, and I stepped forward. I did not care about the consequences of my actions.All I wanted to do was rescue my mate and destroy everyone who was responsible.I had mentally and emotionally prepared myself for this. As long as Zara was safe and well, I didn't care if I died. I will give my life to her.I took another step forward, the anger growing inside me. That was it; I was ready to make my presence known.Someone abruptly grabbed my arm and yanked me back. A roar erupted over the link. Who would dare challenge

    Zara's POV"Where are you taking me?" I hissed as one of the guards pushed me forward down the dark tunnel. They had tied my wrists together and tied a rope like a leash around my neck."We are heading down to the forbidden temple," Alpha Jack answered, sounding quite excited about it. "That is where Jamie, my faithful beta, will kindly remove Alpha Nicolas's mark from your nape.""I don't understand," I replied. "I thought that was Alpha Noah's grandfather?""He goes by many names," Jack said. "The council knows him as Alpha Keiran. I know him as Jamie, my Beta, who possesses exceptional powers."I knitted my eyebrows together, confused. What the hell was Alpha Jack going on about?"He seems to me just an ordinary Alpha wolf?" The words slipped from my lips.Alpha Jack abruptly came to a stop, threw his head back, and laughed. The wolves snickered around me, finding my remark hilarious.Was I the only one who didn't know this secret?"Are you sure?" Alpha, Jack asked, searching my ga
