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

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?

"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

    Nicolas POVZara quickly tucked into the hotdogs I had ordered for us. She appeared comfortable and to be enjoying the simple meal. I guess Ronan made his special chili sauce and tossed it over the hotdogs."I know that look," Zara said as she noticed my gaze. "Do not worry, I will not become ill while riding the rides.""I hope not," I said, laughing. Zara had already had two hotdogs. "Doing so would ruin the rest of the evening."Zara rolled her eyes and placed the hotdog onto the plate."I am capable of managing myself. I am a big girl," she said.I burst out laughing at that. She could be so witty at times."So, tell me," Zara said, her silver eyes glimmering with delight as her tone returned a bit serious. "What rides are you adding this year?"A grin appeared in the corner of my mouth. Right now, I was not prepared to reveal all of my cards just yet. It was still early in the evening, and I wanted to spend more time with Zara before I showed her this year's brand-new attraction.

The fact that it ended so quickly and early disappointed me a little because I had so much fun.I let out a sigh as I turned to face my bedroom window; it was still dark outside and far too early to get up."I thought I heard you," Levi said in a whisper as he looked into my room while holding two cups of coffee."Good morning!" I gave him a warm response and motioned for him to approach. I pushed myself to a sitting position so he could sit down. "You are up early.""I could not sleep," he said, passing the coffee to me."What time is it?" I asked, knowing that Levi did not like getting up early."3:45 am," he said, getting on the bed. "That is way too early even for you," I said, sipping my coffee.Last night at around nine, Nic had an urgent matter to attend to, so Ronan took me home. I went

"He is my second chance mate.""Alpha Wesley has a son?" I gasped in surprise. I cannot recall ever hearing of or meeting Kyle.Did he attend the mating ritual?"Yes, he does! How could you possibly believe that I was mated with that old fart?" Levi asked, his voice tinged with disappointment and rage."Because you have been acting suspiciously, and I was unaware of Kyle's existence until now," I answered. "When did the White Moon Pack accept a new Alpha? No announcement was made to the packs.""Technically, they haven't accepted Kyle as the new Alpha yet," Levi answered."Oh? How come?"Levi sighed and shot me an annoyed glance."Kyle has spent the past few years living and studying medicine overseas," Levi said, a dreamy smile forming on the corner of his lips. He seemed proud and in love with his mate. "His father made

He did not move. He was staring at Terra with disgust.Yet she misread the hostility as something else, which made me nauseous."Do you like what you see?" she asked. "I have ensured that every aspect of me is flawless just for you!"The dark bruises on Terra's slender body had vanished, and the cuts on her face had healed—her wolf had done her magic.Terra grinned, tossed her hair over her shoulder, and placed her hands on her hips.

    Nicolas POV"What do you mean that she is not there?" I screamed at Levi on the phone.Ronan's face turned to ash a few seconds ago, and I could see the fear in his eyes. He had given the phone to me.Levi choked, "I-I-we can find her," over the receiver. "I have searched all over for her.""When was the last time you saw her?" I paced my office as I asked."The last time I saw her, she went to her room to calm down.""And then?" My fingers around the phone went white as I snarled. The fact that I had not broken the phone while I was holding it surprised me. "Has anyone visited her? Taken her?"Was Noah responsible for this?Has he abducted her?"Her bedroom was locked from the inside," Levi clarified. "It is likely that she jumped from her window.""Remember Levi's statement that Zara would not dare do that?" Ray chipped in."If she did that, how the hell did no one notice?" I asked, disregarding what Ray had said. "Is there any other scent in her room?""No!" Levi's voice broke as h

Everywhere I went, I could still smell the stench of rogues, as if it followed me everywhere.I was so exhausted, both mentally and physically, and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. I needed some desperate sleep after last night.Yet, every time I closed my eyes, even for a moment, the awful assault continued to flash behind my eyes.With a sigh, I dashed to my office, not having the patience to wait for the elevator to arrive.

    Zara's POV"Perhaps we should have taken a map before trying the tunnels," I muttered to myself, lost in thought. We were running for what seemed like an eternity, and I was fairly certain that we were lost."I am sure we are on the right track," Kaya said as she heard what I was thinking. "I am still following Nic's scent.""Are you certain?" I inquired. "It seems like Nic did not take this long to get to us.""Perhaps he simply ran more quickly than we do," she said, refusing to back down. It appeared that she was confident we were headed in the right direction. "Remember that I am a little slower because of the backpack I am wearing on my back.""Should we ditch the bag?" I asked. "We can tie my clothes around your leg."Kaya grimaced with disgust. She did not like that idea, and there was no guarantee that my clothes would not get torn in the process."No need," she uttered, reducing her speed. "I believe we have discovered something."I felt a chill go down my spine as I turned t

"He is not picking up his phone.""Try Nic's number again," I said, growing increasingly agitated.Levi sighed, but he followed my instructions. A moment later, he shook his head in frustration."The call goes straight to voice mail," he said in response.What the hell happened? Why did nobody pick up our calls? Not even Nic's secretary was answering the calls.I gasped as another surge of heat swept through my body. It was getting worse. Was it the mate bond warning me that Nic was in trouble?"Zara, you do not look so good," Levi said, setting his phone down on the table. "Perhaps you need to go get some rest. I will keep on trying.""I just can't understand it," I said, feeling as if all the life was slowly being drained out of me. "You had a conversation with Beta Ronan this morning. He forwarded a copy of the contract to you. Why is he not picking
