Zach’s POVI did not want to tell him I had already had sex with someone else. Someone I loved and someone I admired so much I would do anything to have in my life.I didn’t like Fiona the way I loved Kayla. She was very important to me. I was always going to be happy that I had her and I would do everything within my power to help her achieve her dreams and goals.However, I would need to find a way to break this news to Fiona. It would be harsh to the woman but in the end it would be worth it to show her that I had fallen for someone else instead of leading her on.“Can we talk about this later?” I told the man. I didn’t feel comfortable talking about my relationship life now. I was still about to understand why Kayla was running away from talking to me about her feelings. I didn’t want that to be a normal thing now.Was she scared or something? I couldn’t say. She had been in the bathroom for a while now and I was scared she wasn’t happy we had had sex.I dropped the call and waite
Zack’s POVI tried getting to her but she would not answer my calls. No matter how many times I tried getting to her. She avoided me like a plague and I wanted to ask what the problem was.Calling her, she ignored the call until I got home.“Welcome back master Zack,” a maid said to me. I nodded before walking up the stairs. I saw my father sitting at a table in the throne room with some of the elders there. It was late for them to be there. What did they want?“Father?” I asked with narrowed eyes. “Is anything the matter?”He looked up at me. “Yes. But you’ll need to sit down for this one.”I wasn’t ready to sit so I let him talk by gesturing him on.“Go on, I’ll stand here and talk to you.”He nodded. “Our scouts found eight rogues by the desert checking out our structures. I would have sent some of our guards but the rogues would only keep coming back like flies. They need an authority figure to show up and take them out.”I nodded. “I’ll check them out.”He looked at my outfit an
Zack’s POVI met their madness with my own insanity, slashing and biting with clawed paws the size of dinner plates. Fur and flesh flew as I dispatched rogue after rogue with terrifying ferocity and speed. No one was leaving here alive.They were all food for worms. I would destroy them with ease.Soon only a dozen remained, fleeing in panic, but my mind had gone feral. Like I said. No one was leaving here alive. I gave a hot chase to the creatures, ready for more carnage. I zipped into them tearing through the last and then the second to the last as their heads rolled to the ground while I enjoyed having their blood stain my fur.By the time I was done with them, I had gone really far and I stood in the middle of the desert, the moon shining bright on me.I looked to the skies, admiring the night skies as I slowly walked to the pack, ready to head home and have my bath.I was still mad about my date with Kayla that I decided that I would visit her first before going home.Using my s
Kayla’s POV“Whoa,” she said with a shocked expression. “I know.”“I did not see that coming.”“Me neither.”“Especially since you both were going so well I thought you’d sleep with each other on the first date but this is good.”“You’re right… wait, what?!” I sat up to look at her. “What do you mean?”“I mean, come on, he’s the alpha and he’s so good I can’t imagine why no one would see him and want to grab a piece of that. Let’s be honest, he's hot.”“Don’t try to start any joke here Willow. It won’t work. I’m too mad now to talk about jokes.”“So what do you want to do to get your mind off the…”My vibrating phone distracted her as we both looked at it to find that the alpha was calling.“Do you want to get that?” She asked as I shook my head.“Nope.” I stood up. “So do you know how to fight?”“It all depends.”“I’m looking for a sparring partner. I need to learn some moves so I would be able to defend myself in times like this when it calls for it.”“I can spar with you. I took f
Kayla’s POVI shrugged. “I’ll talk about it later. The thought of what I did still eeks me out.”She nodded as we stood up and had a little sparring moment before I started out of the field heading home.Willow was willing to stay back at the field because some random guy approached her and was talking to her.I got home and saw my phone ringing. It was from the alpha but I ignored it.I was too scared to face him. I didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.I had already had a terrible time before thinking about him and while sparring I had temporarily forgotten about him.Now he was calling and making me remember the past I was trying to forget. That was not going to happen.“I’m not going to pick up. I’m not going to pick up,” I repeated over and over again while pacing around the room, getting rid of my exercise clothes.When it stopped ringing, I turned off the phone and headed for the shower.I was having my bath when I heard the doorbell ring.Running to open it, I s
Kayla’s POVI shook my head. I refused to believe that my mother would do something so stupid to the pack. How could that be possible?This was madness. It wasn’t possible to. Mother would never.“You’re lying,” was all I could muster up.“But it’s true. Father and I saw it…”“You saw wrong!” I yelled refusing to believe her. “Mother would never do that. I know her.”“I lived with her while you lived away. I grew up with her so I had it harder than you. You on the other hand recently found out your parents were not your real parents. I have lived with her so imagine when I found out about the news and how I must have taken it. “It wasn’t funny being able to see that my own mother would do such a thing. She wasn’t supposed to. But she did. She knew how dangerous it would be if she got caught but she didn’t rate me or dad enough to even care. She did it anyway. “Why do you think dad hasn’t said anything to you about this? That’s because none of us want to paint her out to be the villa
Kayla’s POVI zipped through the forest before heading for the desert. I was hellbent on reaching there before noon so we could hang out and talk about our differences. There had to be a way to tackle the problem between us. He was not the villain anymore. I was.When I reached the desert, I dug my feet into the ground, moving with everything in me as the wind battered my body at high speeds.Everything blurred around me with my speed increasing with each second. I would not give up or give in. I would keep moving like I was not going to stop anytime soon.The building loomed up in the distance as I streaked through the rocks and headed for it. Using my werewolf senses, I could hear only one heartbeat in the entire building and I traced it to him sitting atop the building with his feet dangling from the top.I boosted myself forward, moving like a blur until I entered the building, zipping to the top of the building, opening the door which led to the roof.He didn’t turn to look at m
Zack’s POVI was elated to hear the news from her as she accepted me and went ahead to take away the whiskey from my hand.“Don’t drink it,” I said, consciously pointing to her stomach as she chuckled. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”“It’s funny, you came.”“I had to. I wanted to give you closure and tell you that I was sorry.”I looked into the horizon.“You know werewolves can’t get drunk,” she chuckled to me as I shrugged. “You can if you add a bit of wolfsbane in it.”“Wouldn’t wolfsbane kill you?”“The right amount can weaken you, not kill you,” I corrected. “Bartenders at the bar back in the pack use it all the time. It would weaken the wolf and make you weak for some time but not enough to kill you or anything so you can relax.”She laughed, looking at the drink.“So… what now?”“I’ve got to be at the edge of the pack by midnight and I have meetings with most of the guards there for multiple days. I won’t be handling the affairs of the main pack for a long time as that would be the
Kayla’s POVOn the day of my wedding, I had more people show up and congratulate me for being the next Luna.It was a fun situation to be in if I was being honest.Being pregnant and having people come up to me with happy faces… it had been a while since thy had happened to me.At least I was done with Jackson and Fiona as well as Mara. I was finally free. I could live again.Adriana and her mother who were present at my wedding came to beg for forgiveness.Since I was in a happy mood, I accepted their apology and waved them off, but they wanted to talk more.“I know who your real father is,” Adriana said as her mother explained everything to me.Apparently, my mother and Adriana’s mother had been friends so of course the woman would know.I called Zach and he was present when the woman said everything she could say to us.Zach decided to launch an investigation and he set up a team for finding my real father.While on my wedding day, I smiled from a distance while watching Willow go
Zach’s POVI looked at Mara, my heart heavy with anger and forgiveness. "Your punishment will be different," I said, my voice filled with a mix of determination and grief. "You will be sent to a faraway county, where you will serve your punishment for sixty years. It is my hope that during this time, you will reflect upon your actions and find peace. I made sure to tell the council of this, so worry not."Mara bowed her head, her eyes filled with tears. "Thank you," she murmured. "I will spend every moment of those sixty years atoning for my mistakes."Just then, the council called Mara forward and gave her her own punishment as I smiled at her being led away.With the sentencing complete, the council turned their attention to Felix, the man who had stolen pack secrets and framed his own wife, resulting in her untimely death. His actions had caused immense pain and suffering within Kayla’s family."Felix," the council leader addressed him, his voice stern. "For your crimes of treacher
Zach’s POVOur ride home from Jackson’s pack was silent as no one had ever seen me unleash such strength before.When we reached the council's pack that night, we headed for the meeting hall to discuss.“Tomorrow is the day we meet with the council,” I said. “We have enough evidence to put Jackson in the ground.”“What about Fiona?” Father asked.“Oh he’ll comply,” I smiled. “I also saw Adriana who promised to show up at the court alongside her husband like she would support him but when she is brought up to talk, she would speak against him because he had been physically assaulting her.”They all nodded with my plans. It would be a matter of time before we would win this case but I was very sure there was nothing Jackson could do against us. We were definitely winning this case.When Mateo and Lucas had gone to bed, I stayed back with my father.In his eyes were proud eyes.“I have never seen anyone fight through wolfsbane like you did before.”I chuckled. “I can still feel the poiso
Zach’s POV "Last time, I spared your life. Perhaps this time, I shall not be so merciful,” the fire in his hands got higher and higher as I gave a deep gasp of pain, the poison still coursing through my body.My failing strength was trying to keep up but was failing.A roar erupted from deep within me, a primal challenge that echoed through the entire pack. "I have grown stronger," I declared, my voice filled with my never give up spirit. "No barriers or spells can stand against the might of my otherworldly strength. Prepare to be defeated, wolf."With lightning speed, I lunged forward, my fist aimed at his head. But the alpha wolf was no ordinary opponent. He moved his body with effortless ease, his magical barriers shimmering to life, deflecting my blows effortlessly. He retaliated with a blast of energy, sending me hurtling backward with a force that would have shattered the bones of a lesser being.But I was no ordinary being.“Be careful!” My father yelled as I nodded and prep
Zach’s POVMy wolf’s eyes glowed with a red glow, a flame of strength. He regarded me with concern, his voice speaking deep within my soul. "Do not give up," he urged, his words echoing through me. “As a werewolf, we are born warriors, fighters. We do not yield to defeat."I struggled to find the words, my voice hoarse and weak. "But I have been defeated," I whispered, the weight of my failure heavy upon my shoulders. "I am broken, beaten. He has magical strength which is unheard of and to top it off he also has magic. Only the moon goddess knows what he has hidden within his body that gives him such power. “I gave him everything I had. My punches shattered the walls and the entire training halls. That should have knocked him out unconscious but he was standing long enough to stab me with wolfsbane. How am I going to beat my own weakness and his magic when I am limited."My wolf shook his head, his fur glistening under the dim light. "Defeat is not the end," he replied, his voice st
Zach’s POVThe searing pain of the wolfsbane coursing through my veins was unbearable. I could feel its toxic strain spreading like wildfire, devouring my strength, my vitality. Every fiber of my being screamed out in agony, my wolf howling in despair. This was too much to bear and I tried to stay calm by fighting it but the werewolf body was not created to handle wolfsbane.It was called wolfsbane for a reason. It was the weakness of every wolf.I was too weak to do anything. My senses were destroyed.I could hear my father screaming warnings at Jackson who laughed and fought against my beta and general, beating them away like they were nothing.I wished I could help but I was battling with inner demons at the moment.With everything going on, I refused to succumb. I fought against the darkness, desperately clinging to consciousness, as the person who had caused my pain laughed at my suffering.His laughter filled the air, a cruel reminder of what I was going through. "Look at you
Zach’s POV“I don’t need this,” he said tossing aside his sword as he hit his fists up. “I can handle you like a wolf.”Now that was his biggest mistake. Fist fights were my thing. “You should stick to weapons,” I said. “Trust me. You’ll need them.”“Oh I’ll use weapons,” he smirked. “When I’m done destroying you with my fists.”What a child. He was in for a surprise visit.The atmosphere brimmed with electricity as I lunged forward with the force of a charging beast. My werewolf strength pushed me towards the other alpha, who stood ready in the center of the ring to receive me. This was a battle of dominance, a fight that would determine the fate of our packs.I was confident in my strength and speed and I was ready no matter what to win.I would not let this alpha who had almost destroyed my pack multiple times win.I was fighting for my family, I was fighting for my pack. My honor, my friends who had been affected. I was fighting for them all and I was ready to have my revenge a
Zach’s POV I wanted so badly to tear him apart after that little stunt he played, but with my father trying to keep me away from the fight, and Lucas as well as Mateo holding me back, I could only obey their wishes.“You should be careful what you do next alpha,” Jackson said with a laugh. “This pack is mine and you could be killed for anything.”“Are you threatening me?” My wolf was beginning to push forward through the glow in my eyes.“If I am then you probably deserve it. Otherwise, shut up and get out. I don’t need a child to tell me what to do or whatnot. Alphas who don’t honor other alphas duel are children who should not be allowed to the throne. Even your father knows that. “And that is why he’s keeping you in check so you won’t lose face in front of your people. Oh don’t worry. I’ll make sure to take it easy on the next person I duel with. However now that we are done with our problems, you can get off from my pack and scurry off to the council’s pack to cry. I don’t deal
Jackson’s POVI really wanted him to fight with me and I ached for it for a very good reason.Prior to him showing up to the pack, I had planned everything I would do to the alpha.I remembered everything I had done before the alpha showed up and I lived in it for the moment.***Of course when I had told Fiona my plans she had been skeptical about it.“What do you mean you’ll get the alpha to spar with you?” She asked in anger. “How are you even going to do that? He’s a very trained fighter. He’ll kill you. He isn’t here for jokes. I didn’t run away from his pack and come all this way to be found out. Please review your thoughts and focus on making me live.”“I need him to fear me. He doesn’t fear anyone.”“And for good reason,” she sighed. “When you’re that strong you don’t need to. Look, how about we focus on keeping me away from his eyes and you win that court case by not going there. The council might force him to come get you in the beginning but when you show up to the council'
