ZION
I wished I could tell Aiden everything, just to let it all out and ask for his forgiveness. But I couldn’t, my brother was unpredictable, I didn’t know what he would do with that information. He already said he would kill the man who was sleeping with Tina and kill her too. How could I risk the mother of my first child’s life? I couldn’t.
“I will be alright, brother. Just leave me alone for a minute. I need time to myself for a while.” He stood up patting my shoulder then left me sitting there. I fished my phone out of my pocket and dialled my father. He was going to be disappointed in me for sure but he gave the best advice. I would have spoken to my mother if she wasn’t so sick.
The call connected and my father’s voice came on the line. “Son how are you?” the lump in my throat grew when he asked me that. I wished he was around for me to look him in the eye when I talk to him. &ld
ZIONMy cruel and vindictive wolf said making me mad. I cut the link between us, there was no talking to him when he could not see reason. I didn’t know why he couldn’t just understand and accept that I was in love with Tina. I knew he wanted his mate but what about what I wanted? I grew up being told that mates were all that mattered in our lives and how lucky we were to have them.But I didn’t feel so lucky. I thought I would forget all about Tina when I found my mate, just like mother said but I didn’t. I loved Brook but not enough to leave Tina for her. in fact, I would rather be with Tina than Brook. But I couldn’t because of the damn wolf the moon goddess gave me. Midnight was an old soul.He might be my wolf, but he had a mind of his own and if he didn’t get what he wanted. He would force a shift and do it any way. If I were to dare, try and send Brook away. Midnight would force a shift and make good on
ZIONShe looked at me with her eyes wide as she kept looking between my face and my hands. She didn’t understand what was going on and I had no time to explain it to her. I was fighting to gain back control from Midnight. Midnight was fighting as well to keep it. He let his alpha power flow in waves making Tina whimper.She bared her neck in submission, she wasn’t my mate. She might have been of alpha blood, but she was not my mate. Only she could resist and not be affected by my wolf’s alpha power. It hurt her and Midnight was enjoying it. He got me angry that he was doing that.“Midnight, stop!” I yelled at him in my heart and a menacing growl escaped my mouth as if I was trying to intimidate Tina even more. I fought, trying to force midnight to take backseat but he was fighting me, and it was not pretty. I was fighting a losing battle; my wolf was not backing down and not being connect to him like I used played a huge part of it.At that moment I realised how much control midnight
ZION/MIDNIGHTI smirked then chuckled shaking my head. I knew he was going to do what is right. “This is what I like about you, brother. You are not weak, and you can do what is right no matter the consequences. You do know that Zion will resent you for this, right? He loves that thing and for the life of me I don’t understand why, she is not our mate!”Zion is a stupid human who wanted human things. That was why he wanted to reject something as precious as the mate bond to be with that thing! “I know he is going to hate me. but he started this, and I am just fixing it. Cleaning up his mess as usual and making things right.”He went and sat on the couch with one leg over the other. “He is used to messing up and expecting me to clean up his messes. He has been like this since childhood. I don’t care how angry he will get. He brought this to himself. I will be damned if I let that woman carry the next alpha of this pack, that child will be a bad seed just like she is.”Aiden was a good
TINAI don’t know what came over Zion, but he scared the hell out of me. We were fine one moment and talking and the next he was jumping out of bed as if something was burning him. I watched in horror as his eyes changed from their normal colour to the black of his wolf. My heart sank at that very moment and fear ripped through me and freezing me in place.As my heart bled as I stood there, I asked the Moon Goddess Selene what I had done to deserve such. My mate hated me because of who my father was and what he did to his family. Then now the man I loved belonged to someone else and his wolf hated me.The claws that replaced his nails told me all I needed to know about how his wolf felt about me. Zion never told me that his wolf hated me. Hearing me talk about talking to his mate must have set him off and wanted to end me right there and then. I had crossed a line with a beast I didn’t even know existed.All this time I thought his wolf understood our relationship, that they were Insy
TINASusan budged in looking worried. “What is happening?” by this time, I was shaking and looking at the blood on the toilet paper. “Am bleeding.” I said with my voice coming out as a whisper. Susan looked horrified. She looked at my hands then swallowed. “Okay, let me help you to the doctor. You shouldn’t be bleeding.”I knew all that, bleeding that early in pregnancy was not a good sign. I couldn’t even say it was implantation bleeding because it was too much to be one and it had clots. Dear Goddess, please, protect my baby. Susan helped me out of the bathroom, but I noticed the drops of blood as we walked back.Was I bleeding that much? My hands shook in fear. When we got back to the room and Susan switched on the light. I glanced to the bed where I slept. There was a huge stain of blood there, my knees grew week and gave out. I fell on them feeling weak.“Oh, dear Goddess! I will get the doctor to come here, I don’t think we will make it there with you like this.” I paid her no m
TINAI felt like I had been punched in the gut, like someone sucked the air right out of my lungs leaving me empty and gasping for air. My eyes grew wide in shock. A smirk appeared on his face, and I knew he had something to do with what happened. But how? I had not laid eyes on this man in a long time, how could he have done what he claimed his did.His smirk was like I knife in heart stabbing it over and over again. As painful as it was hearing what he said, I wished he could say he was joking and take it all back. He had the power to make me feel better. But knowing Aiden and how much he hated me. I knew he was never going to do that; his goal was to make my life a living hell.I thought he had forgotten about me and given up on his revenge, but I guess I was mistaken. “Did you really think I would let you ruin my brother and this pack. Did you think I would let you bring another bad seed to this pack? You are enough my darling we don’t need more of your kind.”His words pierced th
AIDENI left her room feeling like I had won, like I had made her feel at least a fraction of what her father made me feel when he killed my parents. But the look she gave me told me that this was not over and that she was not going to take this laying down. She gave me the feeling that she more than what she has been pretending to be.I told Zion before that the woman was pretending but he would not listen to me. He thought I was being hard on her because of who her father was and what he did to me. But that was not the case and the look she gave me told me that what I did awoke the snake in her and that it was going to destroy everything in it’s path, including this pack.I walked to the office going to look for Midnight it was time we got rid of that woman before she causes more problems for this pack. Getting to the office, I found two omegas cleaning. I forgot about the damage he did to the damn office. I just turned back closing the
ZIONGetting back control was like waking up from a coma and with no memory of what had happened the time you were asleep. I felt betrayed by my wolf, I was angry for what he did to me but at the same time. I blamed myself for it. I gave him no choice but to act the way he did. I was selfish and disregarded his feelings and focused only on what I wanted.But still, I wish he would have spoken to me instead of almost killing the woman I love and taking over control like that. How did he expect us to bond properly if he did things like these, killing Tina was…Wait, Tina! I jumped out of the chair and rushed out to go looking for her in her room. I didn’t know what Midnight did after he took over, he might have gone through with his threat and killed her.My heart thundered in my chest, beating like an African drum during the war and her room seemed like it was moving further and further away. I felt like the corridor was getting smaller and smaller like the walls were closing in on me.
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
