“Wait up”… she screamed running to the school bus, but it left her, again… She didn’t even know why she still bothered to wait for the bus to appear.

“Run freak”, her step sisters drove past her laughing loudly.

She flipped her middle finger at them and sent the poor stones flying with a kick. Life sucks.

Aramina was simply tired of living with her stepmother and the bullies she had as sisters.

“High school is almost over”, she consoled herself for the hundredth time since she came into existence.

Aramina hated life in general, everything sucked, but the worse part of the deal was herself, she was one unusual girl; she didn’t get tired as quickly as the other kids, she barely got sick and despite the injuries inflicted on her by her family and school bullies, she never had a scar the next day.

It doesn’t exactly bother her that they thought she is a freak, it scares the losers away after several attempts to break her failed.

The actual bone of contention was that she had a heightened sense of sight and hearing. Her stepmother said she had been cursed, and her stepsisters see her as a freak and had managed to convince the school to think the same.

Aramina agreed with them: she’d heard things she didn’t have any business hearing; people’s heartbeat, the flipping of paper, clicking of glass, platter of the rain and worse still, the slightest whispers. She saw the smallest of things, the rain before it got to the ground, the wrongly screwed nut, and the smallest of details.

It was an exhausting life, one that caused her little or no sleep since she turned 11, consequently, the haggard way she often looked.

To save herself from the ache of seeing and hearing too much, Aramina was always seen with the shade and headset as her companion. As she entered the school gate, she signed

“Another long Friday!”

********

Alpha Zachary hissed again in frustration, Karen and Caleb knew better than to talk to him at that moment. His meeting with Alpha Recdolf had left him pissed again. How dare he set him up with another woman? He had already made it clear that he didn’t need a wife, not for the moment at least.

He just couldn’t understand Recdolf’s obsession with him getting married before his twenty-fifth birthday. It was not like he was dying anyway. Why was the Council of Alphas obsessed with legitimizing his title by marrying him off, the last thing on Zach’s mind was the need for a partner that will tie him down or worse, be his weakness to the enemies he had inherited from his father.

“Let me see her profile“.

As he glanced through it, he smirked ruthlessly as the car pulled at the entrance of the g&g

Zachery had decided that being alone was better, with nothing to lose, he could easily be as ruthless as he can, especially here. He knew that his ruthlessness was why he was still the alpha of his tribe. He loved his pack, but he knew that he was only accepted because of the fear of his father, his alpha powers from his mother, and the witchcraft of his grandmother.

Nobody wanted a hybrid as their alpha, except, his Beta and Gemma who were also his best friends.

After his father’s death, a group of Alphas, led by his half-brother had decided to come after him, disrupting the peace of his pack and using witchcraft to curse him, none of them had lived to tell the story, it was a blood bath, how could useless Alphas who had everything to lose think that he was an easy prey for them.

He was the son of a true Alpha and the grandson of a pureblood witch, they didn’t have any idea what they were up against.

He couldn’t help the smirk on his face as he remembered the look of terror in their eyes when he ripped the hearts of their Lunas and watched them writhe in the pain of losing their mate. He had hunted down the witches who dared produced the hex for his death and had made them watch as he burnt their family heirlooms leaving them completely powerless.

The Council of Alphas had suspended him for eight moons but no one had dared to come after him again. His pack was isolated, he loved the fact that it was surrounded by water - shaped like a half moon, there was only one way to enter his territory and that was through his warriors, anyone who entered through the water was deemed a trespasser and ripped on sight.

He knew the Council of Alphas have giving up on dethroning him as the leader of his pack and have decided to find him a bride…a true blood Alpha bride…

like the one currently sitting across him…

“Are you even listening to me Zach”, she said through a pursed lip that he could have thought sexy if he wasn’t distracted by the sweet scent he perceived immediately after he had stepped into the restaurant.

Struggling to compose himself, he let his eyes stray back to the lady in front of him, she had used her alpha tone on him, clearly to remind him of her purpose in his life. “Yes Mira”, he gritted out,

“It’s Maya, and I had already corrected you twice”. She responded curtly.

“Do you want to go somewhere else, I mean, I’m not interested in making you my bride but I’m free this weekend, I can offer you the weekend of your dreams or you can go back to being the council’s pawn”, he said, leaning back on his seat and gently running his hands over the rim of his glass.

********

She immediately dropped the tray, she couldn’t believe he just suggested that.

Aramina hadn’t meant to eavesdrop. She wasn’t even supposed to be here, but she had been bullied by Nadi, her step-sister who suddenly decided to conveniently go on a weekend vacation with her friends. So here she was, filling in for her for the weekend, the management had insisted that she was not allowed to wear her shades or earphones, she had ended up practically wincing at every word uttered by people in the restaurant.

Strangely, a soothing scent made her comfortable in this place. The feeling was one she was not accustomed to and so she didn’t know what to make of it.

This feeling had crept up as soon as the couple had come in, she had noticed, and couldn’t help listening in on their conversation.

She knew the couple was on the second floor, she had wondered why the woman couldn’t notice her partner’s lack of interest since she had been chattering for over 40 minutes without meaningful input from her partner.

********

Zachary knew what she would choose, they all wanted the same thing, after all, his money and his active libido.

Not bothering to wait for Maya’s response, he stood up and walked towards the entrance, she hurriedly followed behind. Leeches

The scent got sharper, as he got to the exit, his heart raced as he suddenly put a name to this soothing scent.

Mate!

Karen and Celeb gasp, “but the prophesy…” Celeb couldn’t finish as Zach walked purposely to the staff-only part of the restaurant, his heart was beating loudly.

He had a mate, he had a f**king mate and his grandmother had said otherwise, that old woman had never prophesied anything that turned out to be true.

Immediately he stepped into the kitchen, he saw her…she was a red hair, the only red hair in the room, fate couldn’t have been more dramatic, there was a frown on her face as if she wanted to be anywhere but here, then as her eyes caught him, she gasped in shock… Zach strolled toward her, instinctively wanting to hug her… protect her, and leave this hot kitchen with her.

“Hey mate” Zach greeted

*******

The shadow slipped out from its position and hurried down the alley, this was the most exciting news it was going to bring to its master…Zachary Toople found his mate.

    Her heart picked loudly as the man walked towards her, she couldn’t fathom this strange feeling between her and this Adonis of a man walking towards her, damn! He was handsome, Aramina had never seen someone whose pace was so precise, he walked towards her intently, with his gaze in her eyes, he got to her and he stared at her for a moment before uttering the weirdest greeting she had ever heard… “Hey mate”, and in a split second, hugged her. Aramina felt like she belonged here, well for a few seconds before she realized that a stranger was hugging her, she instinctively pulled back and slapped him. But he smiled and murmured, “a fiery one” confirming her earlier presumption that he was weird. He was a weirdo, she should have known, no man suggested a weekend getaway with a lady on a first date, not like she would know but she knew he was inappropriate. The lady behind him gasped, “How dare you” And raised her hand to hit her but the weirdo stopped her.“Don’t”. “Greg, take Mis

    It took him two weeks to decide to meet her again, not because he didn’t want to, but amidst the couple of meetings he had, he couldn’t overcome the sense of guilt of not being able to protect his mate.He waited by the roadside, he knew from his sources that she always headed home this way.He had waited over two hours after school closure before he saw her walking toward him.

He had told Mina that he will try to stay out of her life until she turns eighteen. That didn’t mean he hadn’t assigned personal guards to tail her although she did not know. “Karen, I h

    As Aramina got home, she could perceive her stepmother's perfume, she came back early…well, another month of hell before she decides on another country to go to.But she hadn’t expected to find her bags on the balcony. She knocked at the door, and since it was bolted from the inside, her stepmother stepped out along with her two daughters, she was a beautiful woman, and a good actress too; she often pretended that Aramina was the best thing she had ever happened to her but indoors, Aramina must do things according to her rules. The basement with its little window was her room, this was despite the fact that the house had over seven rooms.“…and the little princess arrives, my my, what are these fabulous clothes you are wearing, Zee here tells me you’ve been going around sleeping with men for money” Zee was the most devious of the two sisters, always quiet, but with the personality of the devil.

    Zach drove into his territory which had a weird but comforting ambiance. The road was covered with fallen dried leaves the both sides of the road were covered in wood. The gentle breeze from mother-nature was sending down more leaves and Aramina stretched out her hands unconsciously to get hold of one of the leaves.Zach looked at her relaxed face and a complicated look crossed his face. He pushed a button in the car and the roof of the car opened, she turned to Zach to know if he actually noticed her trying to reach out for the leaves but Zach kept a straight face and focused his attention on his driving. Weird guy, but thanks for the consideration she thought as she lifted her hands and grabbed some leaves.They drove for a mile before entering what seemed like an estate. Surprisingly, it was busy, Zach immediately covered the top of the car and drove slowly into the estate. People stopped and bowed as he drove by. He didn’t bother acknowledging them, but instead, wind up his car l

    “Where are we going to Caleb?” Aramina asked, she wasn’t really a fan of surprises because she had a bad experience from a prank her stepsisters had pulled on her when she was young.“Zach said not to tell you” Kaleb answered looking sheepish.Aramina glared at him and looked out the window.They drove into the airport,“My job here is done,” he said as he led her to the entrance of the private jet, do go in”. Aramina climbed up the stairs, a hostess smiled at her and said, “Mr. Zach is waiting for you ma”.Aramina stepped into the cubicle and saw Zach; he was on a call apparently speaking to someone from another country since he was speaking a different language, as he felt her presence, he turned and suddenly stopped talking. He looked at her with a look Aramina could not decipher, it was so impossible to read the emotions in his eyes; he got off the call and purposely worked towards her.As he came in front of her, he stood for a few seconds before he said “you look beautiful Mina”

Please do like and comment on what you think about the characters. ********* Aramina glared at him, his heartbeat did not change, and he just stood their reciting his words as if they were rehearsed “I know you don’t mean what you said, but I will tell you what you did wrong, you should have pretended like you didn’t know, I’m already embarrassed that you guys seem to know all about my state of living, my illness is the only secret I had and you went and dug it up” Zach blinked in surprise ‘was this lady for real’, “Ok, no more digging” he closed the gap between them and kissed her forehead “I’m sorry okay! Now come, so we won’t be late” Aramina looked at him for a while, she still couldn’t understand this yearning for this arrogant man “Ok, let’s go”. Zach heaved a sigh of relief as she walked back to the car. It took him a few moments before he realized that he apologized to her. Sh

    A few miles from the building, she saw the landscaping of the site; hedges cleanly trimmed in an up-side-down form, wired with different colored tiny lights, The driveway was filled with red petals which drifted scattered as they drove in, and sculptures of different persons were placed at the center of various water fountains in the compound. The expression on her face showed that she wanted to know things about the sculptures. As they turned to a corner, she saw a huge white castle with pergolas crawling on the walls. She was super excited, that she forgot her initial squabble with him. Zach packed the car in front of the castle, came out of the car and opened the door for her to come down. He offered his hands to her and walked her into the castle. He had a scowl on his face, like someone who swallowed a bitter pill, but Aramina was too happy to actually bother with the look on his face, not as if he had ever smiled.Everywhere in the castle was dark and Zach told her to wait at

It had taken her a while to find her, she was surprised that she hadn’t moved across the world to avoid Zach, but again, Sabrina was pompous and she often left a mark wherever she went. Everything about the bitch was bad news, but they had to admit that she was one of the best witches the pack had ever had. “What do you want, Karen” Karen smiled, the coldness in the witch’s voice did not hide the fear she felt. Halting, she smirked coldly, “come on Sabrina, that is not a way to greet an old friend.” She slowly walked in circles near the witch, she had never liked Sabrina, the witch was one manipulative bitch that often got Anita in trouble. Looking around the room, she could not help but smile in satisfaction. The room was definitely like a hermit’s place. A far cry from Sabrina’s choice of an ideal room.

    Aramina blinked at him, her demeanor changing, she couldn’t believe what he was implying, “ is that what all this is about, you...you...think I ... a...am too close to Max,” she stammered not really ready to articulate his assumption. “How dare you?” She finally screamed out, “you know what, you are crazy and I will be a fool to listen to this gibberish coming out of your mouth,” she said and opened the door to leave,“where the hell do you think you are going, it is already past two and everywhere is pitch black, damn it” he said as he closed back the door and successfully locked her in, she struggled with him even though she knew it was of no use as she bit down the tears that were threatening to seep down her eyes.

    A free chapter to thank you for hanging on ... As they drove off, she instinctively knew he was angry and with the way he calmly led her to the car, they were not up for argument. But she ignored the frosty atmosphere, “why are you not asking me what I was doing there?” she asked him. He glanced at her and continued driving, “seriously, are we doing the silent treatment now? Look, Max is my friend, practically the only one who talks to me at school and there was no way I couldn’t have answered him when he called.” Zach’s hand tightened on the wheel, he really was not in the mood to banter words with her. Clearly, she didn’t know who Max was in this world, he couldn’t stop imagining the tense atmosphere when he stepped into Max’s office. “I really think Max is innocent, why don’t you investigate properly before suing him, I mean, his company isn’t as big as yours and could easily crumble under your attack, I have lived with my step sisters and I have watched them do things that I la

    Zach came in late, he was really exhausted from the press meetings and paperwork he had been handling for two days now. He came back late, so he did not want to bother Mina, but he had missed her. She was the only one that can give him a bit of strength, so he thought of just going to her room and cuddle, just cuddling and perceiving her soothing scent. but first, he had to eat. He entered the kitchen and made an omelet for himself. “Sir,” Blake called quietly from the kitchen entrance. Zach turned around, from the look on Blake’s face, he knew that he was not going to like whatever news he brought for him. “What is it, Blake,” Zach asked seriously. “Ma’am left twenty minutes ago,” Zach growled as he looked as his watch, this is 10:30 pm, “where did she go to?” Blake hesitated, he had tried to stop Aramina but he could not use brute force on the future Luna, plus she was a piece as she threatened him. “To see Alpha Max, Alpha” “what” Zach said immediately dropping the last bit

    “You are stupid and dumb” Max shouted at his Strategy manager. He had just returned from Ara’s school to hear that one of Zach’s secretaries who had been helping them sabotage Zach’s business have been arrested and that the police had called in his strategy manager in for questioning. “You were not supposed to be caught, you moron. You are useless. You were set up by a fucking woman and caught. Just a simple task, a simple freaking task and you couldn’t fulfill it. Fool,” he screamed throwing the files on his table at him. The manager groveled on the floor pleading with Max, “Please sir, I’m sorry.” “Get the hell out of my office and consider yourself fired.” Max knew that if the police had arrested Zach’s secretary, it means that Zach was onto him. “Gather up all files related to Bando Steel and Riz motors that have my signature in them and trash them.

Zach looked down, Aramina could swear that he was blushing“Just go shower while I choose a movie” Zach saidAramina nodded and headed to the bathroom.As the water poured over her body, she thought about Alpha Recdolf and what they discussed, Theia had not still responded raising her suspicion, and then again, the Zee and Max issue.

    “Are you okay ma'am," Blake asked looking at Aramina from the rear mirror,"I'm okay, thank you".The story Alpha Recdolf had spun on her was a pure tragedy, no comic relief. She knew she liked Zach well enough to just up and leave because of some scary childhood tragedy.“Theia," Aramina called to her wolf, but Theia was quiet, "you can't ignore me forever, you know."She breathed out as the pack house came into view. She was comfortable here, she loved the new Zach she was interacting with now, and she knew he loved spending time with her. The attraction between them was not something she could just throw away because of some bad luck in the past. She smiled as she saw Zach standing in front of his house, she knew she was a few hours late and she was surprised he wasn't blowing up her phone yet. As Blake stopped the car, she flew out and gave Zach a hug. He responded almost immediately, pulling her closer to him as he buried his face in her head."I missed you," she said snuggling c

    Aramina looked at the man sitting in front of her, she looked nothing like him, his pupils had the enchanting gold that she was starting to get used to, his hair was midnight black and even when it seems his eyes were sad, and it had the seriousness of one who had seen the worst of life.“What do you want to say to me, Alpha Recdolf?” she asked him.She could hear his heart quicken as he stared at her.“Chloe” he saidAramina scrunched up her face in confusion, “what”, “It’s Chloe, that’s what we named you before we saw you.” Alpha Recdolf looked at her. Aramina could see the longing and regret in his eyes.“Your mother was always sick on the sixth month of her pregnancy, I couldn’t understand why, most wolves didn’t even see pregnancy as a task to feel sick on, but her own was separate, the whole of the sixth month was scary.
