Zarek’s POV

I was stuck. Stuck in the same place where I’d been for the last three hours—Ryker’s bedroom. I hated it. The room. The smell. Everything about it made me feel trapped, like I couldn’t breathe. I had already looked at the windows, studied them long enough to figure out how I could climb down from the pack house. I’d even thought about doing it earlier. But I didn’t have the guts. I couldn’t leave yet. Not until I got Tan’s okay.

I couldn’t just run off and leave Sage and Kane to fend for themselves. That would ruin everything. The plan. The whole thing would fall apart, and I couldn’t live with myself if that happened. I couldn’t let anyone else get hurt because of me. Not after what I’d learned about my mother. After discovering I was the one who caused her death…

“You know we couldn’t control that,” Aegis said, his voice dripping with irritation as he watched me sulk. “Sage and Kane will be fine. They’ll stay on the inside. You can run.”

I wanted to snap at him, tell him

    Kaidon's POV"Alpha?" Sage's timid voice echoed in my head, pulling me out of my relaxed, much-needed sleep.I shot up immediately, my heart pounding. “What is it? Where are you guys? Is Zarek okay?” I asked as fast as I could, still lying in bed but wide awake, ready in case my packmates needed me.Sage didn’t respond right away, but I could feel his presence through our pack link, the connection still open. I forced myself to stay calm, trying to stay somewhat optimistic."Kane and I are okay, and I'm pretty sure Zarek is too.”I frowned. “Pretty sure?!”"Well... we got the information we needed, and we planned on sneaking out tonight, but Zarek doesn’t have the pack link. I told Kane, and I was going to send a message to Zarek somehow—probably through our wolves—but we got... preoccupied.”I barely stopped myself from growling. "Where the hell is my mate, Sage?" My voice came out angrier than I intended, a deep, threatening edge to it. I didn't care.Sage sighed through the link. "

  • I Am The Alpha's Savior   Chapter 38

    Zarek's POV As soon as I stepped out of the cave, a rush of sensations hit me like a tidal wave. The earthy scent of grass mixed with the sweetness of nearby flowers, but beneath it all, the sharp, invasive scent of the North River pack lingered heavily in the air. They’d been here, running around, searching for me. I clenched my fists. I had to be careful—very careful. The potion Aegis gave me had amplified my senses to an incredible level. Not just my sense of smell—I could hear the faintest rustles, the distant howl of wolves, and even feel the faint impressions of paw prints left in the ground by my pursuers. Every step I took seemed to vibrate with an acute awareness of the world around me. A howl tore through the woods, snapping me out of my thoughts. Instinctively, I crouched low, my heightened senses working overtime. I sniffed the air. The scent was familiar, even comforting in a way. I crept toward the source, my heart pounding in my chest. Relief washed over me when

    Zarek's POV“Has Sage said anything yet?” I asked for what felt like the fifth time in the past thirty minutes. I couldn't help it. The waiting was eating at me, gnawing at the edges of my nerves.Kaidon and I were lying on the couch in the living room, surrounded by our pack mates. Some were with us, sprawled out in the room, while others were in the kitchen, busy with dinner. Ever since I told them everything I'd learned—leaving out the personal connection I had to Zarek, the Alpha of the Red Claw pack—everyone had been intent on getting in touch with Sage. But despite our efforts, he still hadn’t responded.“I promise that as soon as he responds, I'll tell you,” Kaidon said, his hand tracing gentle circles over my stomach.If it had been anyone else constantly questioning him, I'm sure he would've been annoyed by now. But Kaidon never got upset with me. Maybe because he knew how much I cared about Sage. Maybe because he understood the weight of it all—the risk, the fear, the helples

    Zarek’s POV“Don’t lie, Axel,” Akiri said with a short laugh. “We all know you’re useless unless it’s Astrid’s heat.”"Only because Kaidon will murder me if I go in there! You know how possessive Alphas get during heat!"Akiri and Zara exchanged a look. “We’re both Betas, Axel. Not sure we actually get it,” Zara said, making Axel roll his eyes.“Alpha,” a voice echoed in my head, pulling me away from my laughter with my pack and back to the voice inside my mind. “Kaidon?”“Sage?” I responded, my mind still focused on the conversation.A sigh echoed in my head. “Ves, I’m here,” Sage said softly, sounding timid and afraid. “I’m sorry, this afternoon has been hectic.”“Yeah, it hasn’t been easy for us, either,” I said, trying to keep calm. “We’re home safely, though. Why didn’t you respond earlier?”“Ryker called Kane and I into his office... I couldn’t contact you without him asking what I was doing. His wolf was interrogating mine.”"And?" I asked, my suspicion growing.Sage sounded ev

  • I Am The Alpha's Savior   Chapter 41

    Zarek's POV I woke up to an empty, cold bed, but Kaidon's scent still lingered on the sheets. It was faint, but enough to tell me he had come home at some point last night. A small smile tugged at my lips as I stretched, feeling the stiffness in my limbs from sleeping alone.The sound of water running echoed from the bathroom, and without wasting another second, I slid out of bed and padded towards the door. Peeking inside, I found Kaidon leaning against the wall in the shower, his broad shoulders slumped and exhaustion written all over his face. My heart clenched a little at the sight.I hesitated for a moment before pulling off my clothes and knocking on the glass door softly. Even though we were mates, I never wanted to intrude, especially when he looked so worn out.Kaidon’s tired eyes found mine through the steam, and a small, tired smile appeared on his lips. “Hey,” he murmured, voice heavy with fatigue. “What’s up?”I swallowed and gave him my best pleading look. “Can I get in

    Zarek’s POVA week had passed.Sage and Kane had returned the night after their contact with Kaidon, their faces tense but relieved. They told us their plan had been exposed, and for a moment, my heart had nearly stopped. I imagined enemies trailing behind them, slipping through the shadows, waiting to strike the moment we let our guard down. But luckily, that wasn’t the case. They hadn't been followed—or at least, that’s what they assured us.Kane made the final cut from his old pack that same night. The severed bond must have been painful, but he showed no signs of regret. And when he and Sage officially mated a few days later, it felt like a fresh start for both of them. Sage seemed happier, more at ease now that Kane was tied to our pack permanently. But Kaidon… he wasn’t as easily convinced.I knew him too well. His sharp eyes followed Kane whenever he moved through the house, tracking every subtle shift in his behavior. Kaidon was cautious—always had been. Letting a new wolf int

    Kaidon's POV I left the pack house with no worries weighing on my mind. Sure, Zarek was furious that I had to leave my mate, but I knew he was settling into the role and understood it was for the good of our pack. I made my way to the clearing where the pack trained, shifting into my wolf form as I approached the group.We’d be fighting our battles in our wolf forms, and I knew better than anyone how much harder it was to hurt a wolf compared to a human. Even with weapons, humans stood no chance against wolves—especially an enraged one. Alpha Slade was leading the training, as it was still his pack, but I could tell that with Zarek nearing his heat, Slade knew I’d feel vulnerable leaving someone without the proper training in charge. “Good morning,” Slade’s voice echoed through the pack link, reaching all of us present. “Let’s make this session count. Kaidon, you’re paired with Kane today.”Slade continued assigning pairings, but I ignored him, walking over to Kane, my new pack mat

    Kaidon's POV I was completely drained. I loved Zarek more than life itself, but I severely underestimated the difficulties and exhaustion that came with an Omega's heat. Now, I understood why Axel was so snappy and tired during Astrid’s heats. I was experiencing all of it with no warning, no preparation. I was feeling every symptom, and it hit harder than I ever could have imagined.We were nearing the end of it, which meant Zarek was clearer about what he wanted, but he also kept claiming that he was back to normal, despite the thick, undeniable scent of heat still surrounding him. I had finally caught a rare moment alone, and while I was grateful for the silence, I couldn’t help but feel anxious. All I wanted was to be curled up with Zarek, resting together, but he seemed to understand how tired I was. Even in the middle of his heat, he forced himself to push through the discomfort just so I could take a break. He’d insisted that I shower and relax alone, making sure I wasn’t pres

    Zarek’s POV“Oh, shit, Kaidon,” I panted, my head tilting back as Kaidon’s teeth grazed along my neck while his hand expertly stroked me. "We have to get to the reception!" I tried to keep myself together, but my body was betraying me, and I couldn't stop the gasp that escaped my lips.Kaidon growled against my skin, his pace quickening as he stroked me harder, before he pulled away slightly. "So you want me to leave you hanging here without finishing?" he asked, his voice low and full of desire.I shook my head, the air leaving my lungs in a shaky whimper. "N-No," I whispered, my gaze lifting to the wisteria hanging above us, its delicate flowers swaying with the breeze. I couldn't believe I’d agreed to this, to let Kaidon pleasure me right here in the middle of the garden. But I guess it wasn’t as surprising as it seemed, especially with Aegis's encouragement. The memory of Aegis had me grinning despite everything. I couldn’t help but laugh, thinking back to when Aegis had begged m

    Zarek's POV "Stop stressing, you look great!" Sage said, helping Zarek adjust his suit. His voice was reassuring, but my nerves were still buzzing. "You're going to be perfectly fine!”I nodded, too stressed to say anything. I reached for my glass of water, making sure not to spill it on my white suit. I knew it would show if I did, and the last thing I needed right now was another thing to stress about. There was a chair in the small pop-up tent I was getting changed in, so I collapsed onto it, trying to settle my racing thoughts.The tent flap whipped open, and I heard footsteps. I didn't need to look up to know it was Astrid. A grin was already on her face as she rushed inside, carrying both of her pups. One was in a pouch on her front, the other on her back. She held a small box in her hand and handed it to me without hesitation.“Can’t believe you almost forgot this, Luna,” she teased, planting a kiss on Bels's forehead, who was nestled in the front carrier. "It's the one thing

    Kaidon's POV I woke up groggily, the dull pounding in my head acting like a heavy drumbeat in the back of my skull. My senses were slow to return, and everything was out of focus. The world around me seemed distant and distorted, and the voices I could hear sounded muffled and indistinguishable.My back was hurting, and the sharp stinging pain cut deep through the fog in my brain, while my mouth was dry, like I hadn't drunk anything in days. I needed water. It wasn't just an irritation any longer; it was a demand that no longer allowed me to simply bear with it.I fought the grogginess, opening my eyes slowly and allowing the blurry contours of the room to take shape. Everything was soft, as if I was looking at the world through a foggy glass. Far away, I saw the blurry shape of Zarek standing beside Astrid.I heard the murmur of their voices but not what they said. I felt myself floating, apart from my body, suspended in that place between sleeping and waking."Zarek," I said, hardl

  • I Am The Alpha's Savior   Chapter 49

    Kaidon's POVI shifted into wolf form, running until the barrier of the pack was in view. I sat down in the dirt and inhaled, the earthy scent filling my nose. I could not bring myself to stand, as if I felt sick, disgusted with myself. There was no reason for the thought of harming Zarek even crossing my mind, and that fact alone made me worse than I could ever have imagined.I wanted to go to my father, to ask him to reprimand me for even thinking of such a thing, yet I could not let myself be this weak and found myself drowning in anger which clouded my mind.But then something changed. A scent wafted through the air. It wasn't one of my packmates, and that sent a surge of anger through me. No one outside of my pack should be this close to our territory.I didn't bother linking for backup. It was late, and I wasn't going to attack anyone. But I was angry enough to take on ten wolves if I had to. So I set off on my own, sniffling the air, trying to place the direction of the new sme

    Zarek's POV I'd been watching Kaidon and Zarek since they'd arrived at the cottage this afternoon. Well, Zarek had gotten in a few hours earlier, and then Kaidon had joined him an hour later. They acted as though they were trying to gel and get along, but I didn't understand why. From what I knew, the two of them had a great and loving connection. So why the tension?Is everything alright with you two?" Slade asked, catching on to what I had been picking up on. "You're being. icy."Kaidon didn't even look up from his plate of pasta, still chewing, not acknowledging Slade's pointed question."We're fine," Zarek muttered, his glare still shot at Kaidon.I pursed my lips, trying to figure out what was going on between them. "You two said you had news? That's why we're meeting for dinner?" I asked, hoping to turn the conversation to lighter topics as a tight feeling began building between all of us in the room.To my great relief, the smile that appeared on Zarek sent Kaidon's mouth tick

    Zarek's POV When I opened my eyes, the events of the night before flooded my mind. My heart pounded in my chest, and my eyes shot open, a growl escaping my lips. I shifted instinctively, ready to defend myself from whoever had taken me. My body trembled with the rush of adrenaline, but as I snapped to alertness, I realized something.I wasn’t in an unfamiliar place. I was in bed, sitting beside a wide-awake Kaidon, who had obviously been disturbed by my snarls. "Zarek?" Kaidon asked hesitantly, his voice softer than usual, clearly taken aback by my reaction. "Baby? Shift back for me and talk to me.”I was panting heavily, barely able to breathe. My eyes darted around the room, searching for any sign of danger, expecting someone to be hiding in the corners. And then I felt it—a hand on my fur. A snarl ripped from my throat before I could stop it, and I snapped at him in a panic. I leaped across the room, retreating to the farthest corner.Kaidon looked confused, his expression a mixt

    Zarek's POV Excitement bubbled in my chest as I climbed into bed, unable to keep the wide grin off my face. The usual sting of loneliness from Kaidon being out on patrol didn’t bother me tonight. My mind was too busy swirling with thoughts of the future—our future. My hands instinctively rested on my stomach, and a soft giggle escaped me. Babies. Our babies. The very idea filled me with warmth, pushing away any lingering anxiety. I rolled onto my side, snuggling into Kaidon's pillow, his scent surrounding me like a comforting embrace. "They better look like Kaidon," Aegis' voice echoed from my link, pulling me from my thoughts. I rolled my eyes, though I couldn’t stop the fond smile that tugged at my lips. "Don't roll your eyes at me!" Aegis scolded playfully. "Just imagine little Kaidon look-alikes running around the house!" I hummed, the thought making my heart skip a beat. "How many do you think we'll have?" I asked, unable to hide the curiosity in my voice. Aegis chuckl

    Kaidon's POV I woke up at three in the afternoon, feeling groggy but oddly content. The first thing I did was mind link my father to apologize for sleeping in so late. But Slade only laughed and told me it was completely acceptable. He said that, as a mate, my priority was to take care of my other half. I stretched in bed, muscles sore but satisfied, and glanced around the empty room. I didn’t know where Zarek was, but Corban wasn’t panicking. Zarek hadn’t linked me or tried to wake me up either, so I figured his heat was over. With a yawn, I pulled on a sweatshirt, making sure it covered the marks scattered across my chest, back, and neck. After slipping into a pair of athletic shorts, I headed out of the room, rubbing my eyes. “I like the lavender, but isn’t that a funeral color?” Zarek’s voice drifted from the dining area, and I followed the sound, feeling a small smile tug at my lips. When I walked in, I found him sitting at the table with Astrid and Akiri, flipping throu
