Zelene Sallow:"Shane asked once more, 'You want to do what?' after I had repeated for the third time that I wanted to go out and search for Axel. I had found the brothers in the study room, thankfully without their mother, Lady Jewel, in sight. She was always a handful to deal with, especially when her sons had disappointed her on my behalf.Ray's eyes were still red, his black shirt was wrinkled, and his hair was a mess, but he hadn't taken his eyes off me since I had barged into the room.'I want to find Axel,' I reiterated, placing my hands on my waist as a warning to Shane not to make me repeat myself.'Ah,' Shane nodded weakly, turning to exchange a quick glance with his brothers, who appeared indifferent to my decision.""Zelene! Finding an alpha King who doesn't want to be found isn't that simple," Oscar whispered, employing his soft tone in an attempt to dissuade me from my plan."But you're forgetting that I'm his mate," I retorted firmly, determined to press on with my inte
Zelene Sallow:"Wear this; you might catch a cold," Oscar said as we stepped out of the car, having parked a little farther away from Death Valley. He held out his black jacket, offering it to keep me warm. I noticed Shane rolling his eyes at his brother as I accepted his thoughtful gesture and draped his jacket over myself."You know," Oscar began to say but was interrupted as Ray and Shane approached us, their eyes fixed on their brother, eager to hear what he was about to say to me. "You look great in black."Oscar's quick shift in gaze, prompted by his brothers, was awkward. The two of them seemed annoyed with him."So, are you trying to suggest she doesn't look good in other colors?" Shane quipped, shrugging as he directed the question at Oscar. Oscar turned to his brother, then to me, vigorously shaking his head to deny the implication."You're just making things up because I got to compliment her first," Oscar retorted, his tone carrying a hint of frustration, while Ray continu
Zelene Sallow: "Why does he want to talk to me? What's left between us to discuss anyway?" I shrugged, determined not to let Axel manipulate me into giving in to his wishes. "I don't know. He just said he wants to talk to you. We don't have much time; please help us out," Shane insisted, attempting to hold my hand. When I freed myself from his grasp, he sighed deeply and stretched his neck before facing me once more. "You came all this way to find him, only to step back?" He was right. I had embarked on this journey with the brothers to help them bring Axel back home. However, I also realized that I wouldn't get any answers from him if he crossed the river today. With my conflicted thoughts in mind, I shot a frustrated glare at the two brothers before getting to my feet and running towards where Axel was sitting in a small boat in stagnant water. Ray paced around, clearly worried. "Here!" Shane exclaimed, waving his hand to signal Axel to look at me. I felt incredibly awkward bein
Zelene Sallow:Avoiding the eyes upon us, we continued to kiss passionately. It was strange how much I enjoyed being close to him. He didn't hesitate to slide his tongue into my mouth, wanting me to suck on it. My hands were gently placed on his chest as I obliged. The taste of his tongue was like cherries blending into creamy sweetness.The moment felt incredible, though it was short-lived. A firm pat on Axel's back from Ray abruptly ended our passionate moment. As Axel pulled away from the kiss, he looked like he had been reincarnated. His eyes sparkled with a newfound sense of hope. I was astonished by how genuinely happy he appeared."I think we should head home now. Mom's been calling me nonstop," Ray interjected, his eyes filled with disapproval and a touch of jealousy.I didn't plan on making out with Axel after his lies, but the anger inside me got the best of me. I wanted the brothers to see it and feel the burning pain of loneliness like I've experienced before."Okay," Axel
Zelene Sallow:We got home, and Ray was the one who woke up Axel rather forcefully. As I stepped out of the car, Oscar blocked my path."What's happening? Aren't you guys coming inside?" Ray, who had become quite curious about who I was hanging out with, complained. He was showing clear signs of jealousy and regret but his ego was still stopping him from accepting it."You go ahead and take Axel to meet Mom. She will be anticipating his arrival. I need to discuss some things with Zelene," Oscar said, using a tone I'd never heard him use with his brothers. Even though they were born on the same day, he had always been respectful towards them, as if they were older than him."Try not to keep her waiting too long. She's got to see Yuna soon," my body tensed when I heard Ray say her name with such affection for the first time. I closed my eyes and turned my head away, avoiding looking at Ray."Yeah, I'm well aware of my daughter's responsibilities," Oscar commented, and I noticed that Ray
Zelene Sallow:"Really?" I showed him the tissue and raised an eyebrow. "So while you were pretending to be so hurt when I talked about leaving you, you were carrying someone else's number with you?""No! and No!" he only shook his head as if he didn't know how to answer me. But he looked petrified of my reaction."So, at what time were you planning to get in touch with this girl? Or have you already taken her out on a romantic date before you acted like, 'Oh, I'm so hurt,' huh?" I muttered under my breath, seething with anger.I continued to stare at him, watching as he shook his head vigorously."No! I mean, yes! It might have been on me, but I forgot about it. I wore that shirt once when I took her to a bar for drinks, and then today, and then..." He paused when he saw me scoff at him."So you two went out for drinks?" I couldn't help but laugh, realizing how messy the situation had become."Just drinks. I was actually upset about us," he gestured toward me and then to his chest."
Zelene Sallow:His finger explored my inner self without mercy, causing me to moan and bite my lower lip. I trembled, unable to break eye contact with him.He forcefully twisted his finger inside me and then tried to insert another one."Ahh!" I let out a yelp, but before I could react further, Axel crashed his lips against mine. I melted under the sensation of his touch.Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open, and in my panic, I pushed Axel away from me as if I had been caught red-handed, doing something forbidden."Oh!" I groaned in frustration, hastily rubbing my sweaty palms over my face to adjust my clothing. My mother stood in the doorway, holding Yuna in her arms.Axel continued to gaze at me with a mild smile on his lips. Then, he turned his attention to my mother, who I'm sure felt extremely embarrassed for not knocking before entering."I'm so..." my mother began to apologize, but Axel shook his head and approached her calmly."Hey, it's okay," he replied cheerfully. "Aww, is
Zelene Sallow:‘Are you planning to talk to anyone about taking Yuna and leaving the mansion?’ Zey asked, her concern evident. Ever since my mother mentioned the possibility of me meeting my parents today, I felt a strong determination to go through with it.‘I have to,’ I replied firmly. I had so many questions about what I had read in the book and why my parents had abandoned me. These questions could only be answered by them, and I couldn't let this opportunity slip away.‘They'll never allow you to leave and meet the Frosters with their daughter. Ever since they started on their path of redemption, they've become overly protective of you,’ Zey pointed out, and I had to admit he was right.The way the brothers had been acting made it clear that I wouldn't receive any special treatment when it came to my desire to meet the Frosters.‘I'm not planning to tell them the whole truth, though. I know they'd never understand,’ I said, rolling my eyes as I watched Yuna sleep in her bed. Axe
