BROOKEI didn’t know what to do or how to react. I didn’t expect to hear something like that, I just woke up too hungry and I came looking for food. If I had known that this was going to happen, then I wouldn’t have come. I stood awkwardly by the doorway, the man, whose name I did not know looked my way.At first, he was shocked to see me then he looked pleased. I didn’t know what his intentions were, but I didn’t like the way he looked at me. I glanced at Tina and wondered whose mate was she sleeping with and if Aiden knew. It was no wonder they slept in separate rooms, yet they are mates. Tina was cheating on Aiden, and he probably knows, or he suspects.The man stormed off and I moved out of the way. “Who is he?” I asked pretending as if I didn’t hear a thing. It was awkward enough that I heard her business on my first official day in the pack, I didn’t need to make it awkward for her as well. “He is currently the gamma but soon to be beta of the pack.” I frowned, what did she mean
ZIONIt’s been a month and I have only seen Tina twice in this month. I was trying to appease midnight and Jake telling her off like that and Brooke hearing it didn’t help. We had to keep our distance and Brooke was not letting me out of her sight. That was why I decided to host a ball and invited other packs to make her the official Luna of the pack.That way she will have more responsibilities and will not be by myside at all times. Aiden helped with the ball; in fact, he was in charge of everything. Our business has been doing well and in the next four months Aiden will be leaving the Blood Moon pack to go and be in charge of the Moon Pack. I can’t wait for that to happen because as much as I love Tina.I didn’t want to keep looking my brother in the eyes and lying to him. It was not sitting well with me. “Zion!” I snapped out of it. “Huh?” Aiden shook his head. “Where did you go just now? I have been calling you.” Thinking about how much I miss your mate’s touch and her tight puss
AIDENI slowly lifted my head with a smile playing on my lips when Brooke said that. I wondered if she knew about her mate sleeping with mine. I glanced at my brother, and he looked like he just got punched in the gut. If he was honest with me about this then we would have laughed about this the moment Brooke leaves the room.“I…I mean that is the only reason a woman would not want to be with her mate. Not that I know something about that or that she is doing something with anyone. If she was then it would be…” Zion cut her off sternly. “Brooke!” she stopped talking and I wanted to laugh so badly. It was nice to watch my brother flushed like that.“I think I should leave now.” She hurried and left the office. Silence filled the room, and I was not about to break it. I wanted to hear what my cunning brother will say about it. He cleared his throat avoiding eye contact. I looked at him with a smirk on my face trying hard not to laugh. This was better than knowing about him and that woma
ZIONI tried; the Goddess knows I tried. But my brother knew how to push my buttons. When he called her a whore the first time, I held myself back but when he called her a whore the second time, saying she was opening her legs for the whole pack. I lost it, I jumped over my desk and landed on him then punching him repeatedly.I got in a few punches before he held my hands and gave me a deadly look and I knew I messed up. What I did were the actions of a jealous man. I exposed myself. “Don’t you ever lay your hands on me ever again.” His voice was low, stern, and very threatening. I got off him shaking, not in anger but in fright for exposing myself as the man sleeping with his mate.“Am sorry man, but you can be very infuriating sometimes. Why would you call a woman names like that when you have no proof of anything. I know you hated her father, and you hate her for being his daughter but treating her like trash and calling her names because of it, is wrong.” I tried to cover up what
JAKEI was busy in my office when the Luna budged in without knocking. She looked angry. She started pacing back and forth not saying anything. Maybe trying to calm herself down. My first thought was that she found out about what the alpha has been doing. Shit! We only had a few hours before the ball to make her the Luna of the pack.What if she found out is now planning to expose it to everyone, Zion will lose the respect of the alphas and the pack will be embarrassed in front of everyone. Oh, dear goddess, I hope that is not the case. I stood and went to stand in front of her stopping her from pacing. “Luna, what is the matter?” she looked at me.There was a bit of sadness in her eyes, and I prayed she did not say what I thought she was going to say. “That day, that morning when you basically called Aiden’s mate a whore. Do you remember that day?” shit! Zion, what the hell have you done. “Yes, I do. What about it?” I held my breath waiting for her to drop the bomb.“I think you were
TINAJake scared me good. I was sure he was going to do something to me when he dragged me away like that and brought me to the woods. I was scared but then he told me about the fight. I didn’t know what to think. Why would Zion be fighting with his brother like that over me when he has not been to see me in all this time.He told me he needed to focus on his mate and to give him time. He didn’t try to contact me in so long and now he was fighting with his brother over me? when Jeke left I could not help but cry. I heard Zion threaten his gamma because of me. Jake was right, what Zion and I had needed to end. It was getting too dangerous.It was slowly breaking the pack and I could not have that on my conscious. I walked out of the woods, and they were glaring at each other. “I am your alpha, what I am doing is none of your business, so stay out of it.” Zion said but Jake was not backing down. “If you were the alpha I know, you wouldn’t be saying stupid things like that while sleeping
ZIONI sighed relieved when she agreed to come back to me. I almost lost her today and it was all because of Jake fucking poking his nose where it doesn’t belong! I let her leave first and I ran toward the training grounds, I needed to blow off steam. When I got there, I started with the punching bag, hitting it hard.I needed to do something about Jake, I can’t have him going around threatening the woman I love like that. He scared her and she was ready to leave me because of him. “Now I know how you learn to throw a punch like that.” That was my brother. I didn’t know what to say to him or how to justify what I did.If he asked me about it again, I don’t know what I will say to him. “Look man, I was out of line, and I am sorry for what I did.” I wanted to see his reaction to that, but I didn’t have the courage to face him. So, I apologized while I was busy with the punching bag.&ldq
AIDENI went to the door to receive the guests and indeed, Jake was not there. I kept smiling and welcoming people until Zion came and joined me. “Have you heard anything from Jake?” he shook his head in the negative. I sighed and kept smiling until everyone was there. We got inside and started the ceremony.I kept searching the room hoping to find Jake, but he was nowhere to be seen. “Everyone, be on alert and keep your eyes peeled. We are looking for the gamma. Whoever has eyes on him must tell me.” I sent out a mind link to all the warriors. Jake is always busy with things like security in the pack. Taking care of pack business when we are busy with other businesses.He takes care of threats concerning us. Anyone threatening us, Jake is the first to know and takes care of it. He only reports to us when the problem is too big for him to handle alone. Like with alpha Harold. He was the first to know what he was planning
ZIONWe stood there glaring at each other then she turned and walked away. I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “You are letting her go, just like that? wow!” I didn’t know when Brook got there or how much she heard. But when I turned to look at her and explain. She was already closing the door to her car.I got into mine then sped to the gate and blocked her way. I couldn’t let her go without explaining myself. I have already disappointed her enough and I couldn’t afford to disappoint her again. She hasn’t even officially told me about her pregnancy yet and I didn’t want to miss the chance to be there for her.She got out of the car looking pissed, I regretted making her angry, but I was not about to let her go without explaining to her what happened. I needed her to hear me out and understand. I didn’t want her to have the wrong idea about that woman and I. If I let her leave right now, then that was exactly what was going to happened.“Move out of my way Zion.” She was
ZIONI have been working like a dog the past week. I asked to be released from the hospital because I couldn’t do some of the things while laying on the hospital bed. I needed to go to the Blood Moon pack so the builders could come and assess the situation before sending be quotes for everything.When I got to the Blood Moon pack, or shall I say, what used to be my home. My heart broke. The damage was greater than I anticipated. I thought only a few houses, the packhouse and hospital burnt. But I was wrong, the fire had no mercy, it destroyed almost everything. My home was now nothing, but ruins and I did that.Sitting there waiting for those people I tried to think of a reason why I was so blinded and stupid. Aiden was never blind when it came to her, he saw her for who she really was and kept his distance. I, on the other hand, thought he was being cruel, and I felt sorry for her.I don’t know when I started developing feelings for her and wanting to protect her. I got injured and a
ZIONIt broke my heart that my brother didn’t even come into my ward to see me. I know I have wronged him, in so many ways and I regretted everything I did to him. I wanted to apologize to him, I wanted to tell him that I was wrong. But I guess he was so angry that he didn’t even want to talk to me. it hurt.Not more than my mate cringing and standing at a distant from me as if I was a monster. I wanted to talk to her too. To tell her that I heard what she said, I wanted to confirm that she was pregnant, but she too didn’t come into my ward after the doctor removed the tubes.My heart broke, I have been a fool who thought he was in love and look where that got me. I almost died protecting her and where was she now? Thinking about it made me angry, not at anyone but myself. I let this happen to me all in the name of love.The door opened and I opened my eyes thinking it was Brook. Only to find the doctor. “I am sorry to wake you alpha, I am only here to check on you.” I just nodded and
BROOKI have been by his side for over a week now. Talking to him and telling him about my pregnancy and how I didn’t want him to die. I was losing hope of him ever waking up and it hurt to think about my child not meeting him. He has done so many hurtful things to me, but my child deserved to know him.He is a good man who followed his heart. How can I blame him for that? it hurt, yes, but how can I fault him when he was doing what I would have done myself if I was in his shoes? I understood that but it didn’t mean I was not hurt.I was and deeply. He is my mate, and he was supposed to love me and only me. forsaking all others and focusing on me alone. That is the point of having a mate, but mine didn’t. he fell in love with his brother’s mate. What was that? it brought shame to me and made me feel like I am not enough.That thought alone scared me. I was talking to him about going to my father’s pack for a while, that I needed a break when his eyelashes flattered, and he opened his
AIDENHe looked at me with so much hatred, if he had his way, I would be dead by now. But he knew that he didn’t stand a chance, not alone at least. He glared at me intensely and I looked at him with a smirk on my face. He was nothing to me and I am going to show him and his buddies not to mess with this alpha.He saw I was not budging, and my warriors were about to disappear. “Wait! Call them back, I will call everyone and tell them to come here like you want.” I smiled, good boy. “You can call them, but I will not stop them from bringing your sister. Let’s just say she is my insurance policy in case you decide to double cross me.”The hatred in his eyes was too much, I am sure he was wishing I was dead. “Don’t lay a finger on her, even after you kill me. Promise me that.” I laughed. The boy still thinks he has a say on what I do and don’t do. He doesn’t tell me what to do in my own pack.“You are in no position to ask me for anything. But, if you behave, I will think about it. She i
AIDENThere is nothing I hate more than being looked down upon. I am not weak like my father was and people looking down on me and underestimating me just drives me insane. That woman had the audacity to send someone into my pack because she thought I was not going to be here.Why does it matter if I am here or not? My pack should not be a place where anyone can just come into. The mention of Moon pack should strike fear into people’s hearts. They should think twice about coming here for any reason. But she dared send someone here and he agreed because of the amount of money he was paid?That is a joke, I am a joke. No amount of money should influence anyone to dare try anything in this pack, but it did with that man, that means they don’t fear me enough. “Where is that man?” I sent a mind link to my warriors now feeling more pissed than before. Thinking about it now, it made me angry.“He is still here, alpha. But we are sending him out now.”“Don’t send him out, bring him to me.” he
AIDENA week has passed since the incident. Brook looked like the shadow of herself. She literally lived in the hospital, showing and eating there. She didn’t want to leave Zion’s side. My search for that vile, evil woman continues. My warriors promised that they have left word on the streets about her mother, but she still had not shown.I was busy running the biggest pack in the region and I didn’t have time for anything else. I last saw Zion three days ago. I didn’t have time; I was too busy trying to rebuild the Blood Moon pack and run the Moon Pack at the same time. It was too much. I woke up in the early hours of the morning and slept late at night.“Alpha, we caught someone at the border, we are bringing him there.” A mind link came through from one of my warriors. “Take him to the dungeons and tell me when you get there.” I wondered who could that person be and what the hell was he doing trespassing in Moon Pack lands.My mind went to that woman, could she have heard what I di
AIDENShe lifted her head high and looked me in the eyes. I squinted my eyes hoping to the goddess she has the sense not to repeat what she said. But I was fooling myself because she opened her mouth and spoke. “They have done it to us, they made fools of us and had an affair right under our noses. Why can’t we do the same? But unlike them, we don’t have to hide it.”I looked at the woman trying to see if I could ever do something like that, but nothing happened. I was not attracted to her in anyway. Maybe because I was not Zion, and I didn’t want what was not mine.“Listen here and listen well. Just because my brother could open his zipper for my mate, doesn’t mean I should do the same. We are not the same and I could never do something like that with you. so, don’t you ever mention something like this to me again.” I was harsh and my words cold.I didn’t want for her to respond
AIDENI watched as the doctors wheeled my brother away and I could not help but feel helpless. I blamed myself as well for what happened to him. If I had just given him my blessing to be with that woman. Maybe none of this would have happened. He would have been safe and happy. But I had to be stubborn about everything.“Why didn’t you stop it?” asked Brook who was walking beside me, making sure that I was going to the hospital to get checked out. I didn’t know why she wanted to do that when she knew that I would be healed by now. Even though I would be left with nasty scars from the fire.“What are you talking about?” I felt sorry for her, it must feel really bad being mated to a man whose heart belonged to another. Let alone being pregnant for him and finding out that he was grieving the loss of his first child.I admired her strength and courage. If I was the one going through what she was going through, I don’t think I would have been able to help. I would have gone crazy and watc
