Zarek's POV

I was surprised at how bubbly Astrid was the entire time we were in Kaidon's room. She hummed cheerfully as she rummaged through his clothes, occasionally tossing articles at me and asking which ones I preferred.

I couldn't deny it—I loved Kaidon's scent, though I blamed the mate bond for that. It was woody and masculine, like the perfect mix of cologne and campfire, blending in a way that made it irresistible.

“You can build it on the bed," Astrid said, pulling some sheets from the closet and handing them to me. "I’ll never understand why the men in this pack need walk-in closets. They wear the same stuff every day!”

A small smile tugged at my lips. I’d wondered the same thing before. Ryker rarely ventured to the back of his closet, cycling through the same dark pants and dress shirts day in and day out.

As I began laying down sheets and arranging clothes to build my nest, Astrid watched from a distance. She knew better than to come too close; I’d be territorial

    Zarek's POV I woke up at one in the morning, the dim red glow of the clock on Kaidon’s nightstand catching my eye. But the time barely registered. Pain coursed through my body, raw and relentless, like fire blazing under my skin. I clutched the blankets beneath me, my breathing uneven, every inhale a struggle. “Aegis,” I whimpered weakly, reaching for my wolf. “I’m here,” Aegis replied, his voice a soothing balm against the storm raging inside me. “Let me take over. I can handle this.” I hesitated. I’d always forced myself to endure these heats alone, my pride refusing to let me lean on anyone. The pain was familiar—a cruel reminder of all the times I’d been ignored or dismissed—but this time, it was worse. Sharper. Like my body was punishing me for resisting the bond I didn’t ask for. I couldn’t do it anymore. With a shaky breath, I let go, retreating into the recesses of my mind as Aegis took control. The pain dulled slightly, though it was still there, lingering just bene

    Zarek's POV When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was warmth—real, comforting warmth. My body ached, but it wasn’t the unbearable fire I’d grown used to. For a moment, I dared to think my heat had passed. Then I felt it—a heavy arm draped over me. My heart skipped a beat, and I froze, every muscle in my body stiffening. I didn’t need to look to know who it was. His scent was everywhere, filling my lungs and calming my nerves in a way that only made me angrier. Cedar and rain, rich and grounding—Kaidon’s scent. It wrapped around me, sinking into my skin, and I hated how much my body craved it. Carefully, I turned my head. There he was, lying beside me, his golden eyes hidden behind closed lids, his breathing steady. His grip on me was firm, like even in sleep, he refused to let me go. My chest tightened. My wolf, Aegis, stirred weakly in the back of my mind, purring at the sight of our mate. I wanted to feel the same pull, the same instinctual comfort. But all I felt was suf

    Zarek's POV I ran as fast as I could, my heart pounding in my chest. The only thing on my mind was reaching the forest. I needed to get away—away from Akiri, away from Kaidon, and especially away from their pitying gazes. Aegis wouldn’t help me. We weren’t on speaking terms, and I didn’t trust him to take control even if he wanted to. All I could do was keep running, hoping the woods would offer some solace, a place to hide and think.“I’m sorry,” Aegis whimpered suddenly, his voice soft and full of regret. “I had to do it to protect you.”I clenched my jaw and ignored him. I didn’t want to hear it. His excuses meant nothing to me right now. As the forest loomed closer, a small sense of relief washed over me. Back in the Red Claw pack, when the Alpha left for visits to other packs, I’d often sneak out to the woods just outside our pack house. It was the only place where I could find peace. That’s what I was looking for now—a reprieve from the chaos in my mind.But before I could rea

    Kaidon's POVI spent the rest of Zarek’s heat pacing in my office. After just one night with my mate, both Corban and I were completely in love with the boy. I couldn’t stand that he had come from an abusive pack, and it drove me mad.Axel had told me after the attack that Zarek needed to be left alone for the rest of his heat. She explained that Astrid could sense Zarek’s wolf’s sadness and helplessness—rooted in the fact that Zarek felt like he didn’t have a choice in how his life would unfold.That news sent me into a rage. I threw a punch at the wall, creating a dent as I thought about how Zarek’s previous packs had ruined him. They’d made him feel as if his life was already decided for him, leaving him no say in his own fate. I only stopped when Axel told me that Zarek could sense my anger, and it was making him panic.So, I stayed in my office, away from my mate. I hated that it was my presence that had caused the strange sobbing fit Zarek had earlier. I didn’t want to make him

    Zarek's POVI sprinted as quickly as possible, making my way toward the woods. I had to escape. I was certain Aegis wouldn’t take over since we weren’t on the best of terms, so I just kept running, searching for a spot to conceal myself and collect my thoughts.I couldn’t remain in that room with Akiri. I couldn’t allow Kaidon to witness my tears or my struggle with my wolf. The most frustrating part was that no matter how far I went, Aegis was always there. We were connected mentally.“I’m sorry,” Aegis said, his voice filled with remorse. “I had to do it to keep you safe.”I chose to ignore him. I didn’t want to listen.The forest was drawing nearer, and I felt a surge of relief. During my time with the Red Claw pack, I would often rest in the woods near the pack house on days when the Alpha was absent. It was serene there, tranquil.But just as I was about to step out from the trees, a deep growl sounded from my right. I turned carefully, my heart racing and my anxiety escalating.

    Kaidon's POVI spent the remainder of Zarek's heat pacing nervously around my office, feeling restless and on edge. After just one night together, it became evident that I was utterly enchanted by him. My wolf, Corban, felt the same way. Both of us were profoundly in love with him, and it was agonizing—both physically and emotionally—to confront the fact that he had come from a pack that had severely damaged his sense of self-worth.After the incident, Axel informed me that Zarek needed some time alone to cope with his heat. Astrid had sensed the deep sadness and powerlessness radiating from him, stemming from his belief that he was unable to control his own life. Merely contemplating it made my blood boil. In a surge of anger, I ended up leaving a dent in the wall, furious over the extent of the damage done to him by his past packs. Axel had to intervene during my outburst, warning me that Zarek could feel my anger and that it was causing him distress.That was when I decided to maint

    Zarek's POVAs we strolled towards the diner, I couldn’t release Kaidon's hand. It was reassuring, even if it felt odd to be this intimate with him in public. For once, there were no wolves growling or glaring at me as we walked by. Instead, they greeted us with waves and smiles, and a few even made cooing sounds at me. I wasn’t accustomed to that. It made me anxious, but Kaidon merely grinned and gently steered me away from them.Upon arriving at the diner, I paused briefly. It was bright, inviting, and had an amazing aroma. The air was filled with the scents of sugar, baked goods, and freshly brewed coffee. My stomach emitted a soft growl, and Aegis, my wolf, chimed in."Still not as nice as Kaidon’s room," Aegis teased, causing me to roll my eyes."Can you knock it off?" I muttered to myself, trying to concentrate on the present.Kaidon looked down at me and smiled, his icy blue eyes warm. "What would you like to order?" he inquired, glancing at the large menu hanging over the coun

    Zarek's POV After we indulged in a feast of pastries, Kaidon and I exited the diner. Zara waved goodbye, shouting something about being careful. My face instantly flushed, and I could feel the warmth radiate to my ears. Kaidon, naturally, just chuckled quietly at my embarrassment. As we strolled along, I paused for a moment before speaking. "Alpha?" I blurted out, then quickly shook my head. "I mean, Kaidon. I apologize." "Don't worry about it. No need to say sorry," Kaidon reassured me, gently squeezing my hand. His touch always seemed to soothe me. "What’s on your mind?" I bit my lip, uncertain if I should bring it up, but my curiosity got the better of me. "Do you and your wolf… have a good bond?" Kaidon halted suddenly, and my heart sank into my stomach. Did I say something wrong? Panic surged within me, and words spilled out before I could stop. "You don’t have to respond! I’m sorry if I sounded intrusive, and I’ll accept any punishment you think is—" "Stop," Kaidon interru

    Kaidon's POV I raised my sword as soon as Slade called for the fight to begin, stepping into the battle circle with Ryker standing about ten feet across from me. We were both circling each other, neither of us making the first move. The tension in the air was thick, and I could feel the eyes of both packs on us, waiting for the inevitable clash.I wondered what Ryker was thinking right now. He always had that smug look on his face, but now it was laced with something darker. He was trying to provoke me, and I could feel it.“I wonder what you're thinking right now,” Ryker said, his smirk widening as he took a step closer to me. “I know what I’m thinking—about how hard I’m going to fuck my Omega when this is all over.”My anger flared, but I kept it in check, hoping to provoke him into making the first move. “Funny you say that,” I shot back, trying to hide the venom in my voice. “From what I’ve heard, your Omega, your mate, is dead.”Ryker’s smirk faded instantly, and I could see the

    Kaidon’s POV"Come on, defeat me!" Kane roared, his voice shifting into a growl as his body contorted. His bones cracked, reshaping as thick fur spread across his skin. In a matter of seconds, he had shifted into his wolf form—a massive beast with razor-sharp fangs. He lunged at me with terrifying speed. I barely had time to react before he knocked the short sword right out of my grip. The blade clattered to the ground, and before I could even think about retrieving it, Kane stood in front of it, his chest rising and falling with controlled breaths. His sharp canines gleamed under the moonlight as he grinned at me in his wolf form. "Ryker will have your head in thirty seconds!" he taunted. "Stop talking!" I snapped, trying to focus. But Kane wasn’t done messing with me. He circled me like a predator sizing up its prey, his piercing eyes locked onto me as if he was calculating his next move. His muscles coiled, ready to strike. "Focus, then!" he barked through the mind-link,

    Kaidon's POV After a long day of training, all I wanted was to get home. My body ached from the drills, and my mind was already occupied with thoughts of my mate, Zarek. He still had a few months left in his pregnancy, but it was torture leaving him alone for so long. Every moment away from him felt like I was missing something important. The pack house buzzed with activity—parents collecting their pups, warriors discussing patrols—but I didn’t see Zarek anywhere in the room. A frown formed between my brows as I scanned the area. I stopped Astrid on her way out. "Have you seen Zarek?" She nodded. “He’s in his room with Andre and Leo, watching movies.” Relief settled in my chest, but I didn’t waste any more time. I strode toward our room, eager to see him. When I stepped inside, I found the two pups sprawled out on the bed, their faces illuminated by the glow of the television. But my mate wasn’t there. “Have you two seen Luna Zarek?” I asked, drawing their attention away fr

  • I Am The Alpha's Savior   Chapter 59

    Zarek's POV Days passed, and despite the weight of the situation, we were no closer to uncovering the full extent of Ryker's business within our pack. There had been no attacks or ambushes, and for the moment, everyone was safe. The pack had been vigilant, constantly checking on everyone, making sure we all knew our place, making sure we were where we needed to be.The outside world had gone quiet, as expected. Everyone had been ordered to stay inside unless they were warriors. The warriors had set up camp just outside the pack house and in the center of the village, ready to spring into action if the need arose. I couldn't help but feel a little restless. I was used to more action, more of a sense of purpose. But right now, all we had was waiting. In the midst of all this, Kegan and Astrid had turned the pack house into a makeshift daycare for the pups. It was a good way to keep the little ones occupied while their parents patrolled or trained. And they had even made rooms available

    Kaidon's POV"We're under attack!" Axel screamed through the pack link into my mind.My heart skipped a beat as I shot up from beside my confused mate. Fear surged through me—panic, terror, the feeling of dread that something was terribly wrong. I couldn’t shift with Corban silent in my head, but I couldn’t just let my pack fight their battles for me. My role wasn’t to stand on the sidelines.“What’s wrong?” Zarek asked, looking at me in horror. His voice was filled with disbelief as his eyes locked onto mine.“Have you seen who’s attacking us?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly despite my efforts to remain calm. I moved quickly, locking the windows and scooping Zarek into my arms, rushing him to our walk-in closet. I laid him down gently, trying to hide him away from any potential threat. “How many are there?”“Kaidon! What’s going on?” Zarek’s voice was laced with worry.I didn’t answer right away. Axel and Astrid burst into the room, their two pups, Andre and Leo, trailing behind

  • I Am The Alpha's Savior    Chapter 57

    Zarek's POV I woke up to a cold room. I didn’t open my eyes right away. Instead, I kept them closed, feeling around for a blanket. The air smelled like Kaidon, and I didn’t feel uncomfortable, so I convinced myself I was in my own room. But there was still that nagging confusion in the back of my mind, wondering why I was so cold.“Kaidon?” I whispered, but my voice barely escaped. It was almost like the words were stuck in my throat. My stomach felt tight when I realized there were hands gently resting there. The surprise hit me, and I gasped softly, trying to push the sensation away.I opened my eyes and saw Kaidon leaning against the wall, nervously biting his nails. The doctor was still hovering near me, her hands moving around my stomach with that careful, clinical precision.I remembered the conversation I had with Sage earlier, but I was holding onto hope that the doctor was finding out that I was okay—that everything was going to be fine. There was no way I could have been in

    Zarek's POV I had never seen Sage look so distraught. His hands were shackled to the cold ground, the chains tight, leaving him barely any space to move. His neck was adorned with a thick collar, and I couldn’t help but notice the red marks around it—his attempts to rip it off were clearly unsuccessful. It looked like pure torture.“What's on his neck?” I whispered, looking up at Kaidon with a horrified expression.I couldn’t believe it. Sage was supposed to be a warrior, strong and fierce, but now he looked like he was on the edge of breaking. This was wrong. I had never imagined seeing one of our own treated like this, especially not Sage. I always thought he'd be able to handle anything thrown at him, but this was pure cruelty.Kaidon growled at Sage, a deep, guttural sound that filled the room. He wasn’t fazed by the state of the prisoner. "It overpowers his senses and weakens him. He can’t talk through any form of mind link or shift," Kaidon said coldly, making my jaw drop. I f

    Kaidon's POVIt had been a month since Sage, Lyra, and Kane had been arrested and taken into custody. They refused to speak with anybody but Zarek and me, but I avoided them completely. Honestly, I was just plain scared I would snap the minute I even got close. I didn't trust myself enough not to kill them on the spot.The pack house had never felt so tense. There was no hum of activity, just silence, anger hanging heavy in the air. It weighed on everyone, even the children, who were too afraid to leave their parents' rooms. Even Astrid barely left her room, the anger in the house making everyone tense, as if the slightest spark could set off an explosion.Zarek hadn't been much better. He hadn't been out of his room much, either, but for different reasons. The pregnancy was exhausting him. His stomach was getting heavier with each passing day; the pups inside were becoming more and more demanding. He left the room only when it was highly necessary-to visit me in my office, to get some

    Zarek's POV I barely stopped Kaidon from storming out of the room. “What’s going on? Kaidon, you need to talk to me,” I said, stepping in front of the door. “I don’t understand what you're saying. And if there’s an enemy in our land, calling a meeting will chase them away!”Kaidon shook his head, his focus entirely on the door. He was trying to move me out of the way. “It’s not safe here unless we find out who’s infiltrated!” he growled, reaching for the doorknob.Without warning, I surged forward, throwing myself into Kaidon’s arms. His body crashed to the ground, and I straddled him, holding him tightly so he couldn’t get up without taking me with him.“Let go,” Kaidon growled.I shook my head stubbornly, pressing my face against his neck. “No,” I murmured, feeling him relax a bit, but then tense back up. “I need you to explain what’s going on to me. Please, I can help.”“Fine,” Kaidon mumbled, standing up and lifting me off him before depositing me on the bed. His eyes stayed glue
