ZIONMy words seemed to have fuelled her anger. The way she looked at me was with pure hatred. I had never seen so much hate before and that look scared me. “He did say you would never believe a word I say. He was right. I am telling you he killed our baby, and you don’t believe me.” she emphasised each word she spoke.Eyes red and glowing as a hungry newborn vampire’s, veins popping like a witch about to perform some ritual and her claws growing larger by the minute. “Okay Tina, calm down and tell me everything that happened. I want to believe you; I do but I just don’t understand. Tell me what happened, make me understand why you would blame my brother for this?” she chuckled.Not the light chuckle, the deep painful one. A tear dropped from her eye as she chuckled mockingly. “Why should I waste my time explaining when you will not believe a word I say?” I sighed and tried to get closer to her again when she held out her hand stopping me in my tracks.I knew she was in pain and looki
AIDENThere is it, what I have been waiting for all these months. A confession from my brother, but now that he has said it. I feel betrayed and I felt my anger rising to the surface. I turned to look at him wanting to hurt him as much as he hurt me. He had the audacity to sleep with that woman knowing how I felt about her.He sneaked around with her in this pack for months making a fool out of me. “Do you know that she is the one who killed Jake?” shock, disbelief, sadness and denial flashed through his eyes all at the same time. “I am her mate, and she cannot lie to me. she can try but I will always know when she is not being truthful and when I confronted her about Jake. She did not deny it.”Zion just stood there looking at me, the feeling of wanting to hurt him grew stronger as I looked at him not believing a word I was saying because he was blinded by the love he had for that woman. I guess Midnight could not live with himself for getting rid of her and Zion never finding her. h
ZIONWhen father left, we promised to look out for each other, to not let anyone get between us. We have broken that promise and I am the one who created the gap between Aiden and me. I was wrong to get together with his mate and for getting her pregnant. When I made that promise, I never knew I was going to fall in love with her.I never knew I was going to find my mate and she would mean less to me compared to her. I never knew things could get so bad and I never intended for any of this to happen. My brother found out about my betrayal and killed my unborn child as revenge. I didn’t know if the revenge was intended for me or for her.He said I punished him instead of helping him punish her, he was right, I forgot that as her mate, he would feel it every time I slept with her. The pain of betray by his mate and me. My head was so hight up in the clouds, sneaking around and sleeping with his mate and forgot what that was doing to him. if it were me, I would have gone crazy looking fo
BROOKI had the shock of my life when I heard Tina say that. I thought, she must be joking or something. But then Zion turned to look at me, he looked like a wet dog who got caught in the rain. All he was missing was that wet dog smell. But I could still smell and feel his betrayal and deceit.I felt the pain as I looked at him, but I had no time to be angry or act out. My home was in danger, and I had to save my people. Zion was the least of my worries. I pushed through the pain and mind link Aiden. “Give me time, make sure she doesn’t light that fire. We must get our people to safety. Cut your brother out of the mind link you send next.”Aiden did not even look my way, but I knew he got the message. The woman looked at me with a smirk on her face like she had won, and I lost. Maybe she did win, she had my mate and even got pregnant for him. I might not know the details but that was the worst kind of news one ever expects to get about her new mate.“And you?” the venom that came with
AIDENI was chasing that woman, trying to make sure that she doesn’t disappear, not after everything she has done. I hated her with a passion, and I wanted her head on the spike right next to her fathers. I almost had her when I got Brook’s mind link.The urgency, the fear and helplessness in her voice got me looking between going back for her and Zion or going after my mate and catching her. but the smell of smoke reminded me of the day my parents died. The helplessness on my father’s faces, the hopelessness on my mother’s eyes and how sad she looked when she knew what was coming.I opted to let the woman go and go for my brother. He was a stupid moron, but he was the only brother I had, and I still needed him around. He hurt me and betrayed my trust, but I didn’t want him dead. I needed him. I rushed back and I found the place on fire. There was no way to get to them without going through the fire.The situation got me so pissed that I remembered that I saw who started the fire just
BROOKI didn’t plan on coming back home early. I was supposed to be gone a month but at the beginning of the week I got sick. Morning sickness, of course, I didn’t know what it was when it happened. I didn’t even think I could be pregnant. Zion and I only slept together once before I left. I didn’t think it could happen so soon.It was only the third week of the Luna seminar, and I was learning a lot. We still had another week before the seminar ended but I got sick. I didn’t want to come back but whatever it was I thought it was a bug and that it was going to go away. Wednesday came and I was still feeling sick. The director urged me to see a doctor there and that was when I found out that I was two weeks pregnant.I was so happy and excited that I couldn’t wait another week to see Zion and tell him the news. On the way, I imagined how he was going to react, how happy he was going to be. In all my imagination, there was none that ended this way. I came back only to find the man I lov
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
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
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
