#Chapter101'HIS PLANS (Harper's POV)'******Having her in my arms after such a long time felt so amazing, so fulfilling. Granted, it has only been a few days but still, being away from your mate is a torture. A torture I had been deliberately inflicting on myself.As much as I knew my mate, I knew that she needed time alone to sort things out in the head. So I gave her exactly that. Time!It had been so fucking hard to stay away, though. It hasn't been long since I accepted her as my mate. As a result, the bond between us twists and forces us to be closer to each other and compete the mating process. My wolf had been restless for so long, all he could think about these few days, apart from the problems I caused, was the pleasure of marking our mate, of marking Zara.My wolf would lure me with vivid images of the mark she would proudly wear on her shoulder when my canines would finally pierce her soft skin. My wolf reminded me that I could then, hear her voice inside m
#Chapter102'"Hello, Zara? Is everything alright?"'******It was as if the bond knew what I meant to do because as soon as I drove out of the pack lands, the unease in my body became a full throb in my chest. It wasn't gut wrenching painful but was still very distracting. All I wanted to do then was turn the car around and run into Harper's arms. I felt a voice inside me which begged me to go back to Harper. As the distance between me and home increased, I became homesick. As homesick as I ever could be. The images of my parent and Cory flashed through my mind, making me want to give up the idea of leaving altogether. I knew it was the bond playing tricks on my mind but that didn't make it any easier.Flashes and memories with my family, friends and even Harper revolved in my mind, making me clench the steering wheel in frustration. I was helpless to this supernatural force and I found it futile to resist it. The bond was playing games on my mind and I was completely
#Chapter103'It was like whiplash. One minute we were joking and then bam!'******I think werewolf alphas were as good as mafia bosses because they both seemed to know everything. How Sebastian came to know about my sister's address, I had no idea.I had never visited her after she left for University but my parents had. Her boyfriend, mate actually, had moved in with her and her address was same all through these years.Her apartment building was exactly like I would expect a student would live in. Not too flashy but comfortable. At least, I hoped it would be comfortable, I would be living in this building for at least, the next few weeks.We climbed two storeys and stopped in front of a door with apartment number 206. I gulped nervously, not looking forward to meeting my sister at all. I nervously glanced at Sebastian who hadn't said a word since we got out of the car. If it was possible, he seemed more rigid and authoritative than he usually was.His stance unner
#Chapter104'"You seem to know we exist, right? Werewolves?!"'******How could I have possibly known that Adam didn't know that I knew about werewolves? This is what happens when decisions are made overnight. There's no extensive planning which leads to people like me, who blurt anything anywhere to anyone, end up in situations like this?Adam was shocked, I could tell. And honestly so would I. Why didn't Emily tell him that I knew about his kind? Right then, I was hoping that she had just forgotten to mention it.I was hoping that me spewing out something like this wasn't a big deal. Fingers crossed and all.I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I had nothing to say and so I closed it back again. Adam crossed his arms across his chest and turned to face me. I could see the mate mark on his neck, the mark my sister had given him. I had no idea that human females could mark their mates too. We didn't have sharp canines and Harper never told me abo
#Chapter105'HIS BREAKDOWN ( Harper's POV. It continues from his last POV, where a pack member names Elijah was found murdered. Harper and Aiden were asked by Sebastian to prepare a report. Harper felt chest pains while goin over the reports.)'******The pain wasn't anything I could describe. One second it wasn't there and the next it was penetrate every damn nerve ending of my body. It left in seconds too, even though it felt like I was suffering for hours.Yeah, it was that intense. One second I was sitting on the chair, going over the reports of Elijah's murder with Aiden, and the next second I felt as if someone stabbed my chest. It felt impossible to think past the fog of pain, it felt impossible to even breathe at the moment.The words in front of me blurred and I passed out, with my hands clutching my chest.***I opened my eyes to find myself in my room. Why wasn't I in a hospital? I was in my own bed and my heart clenched for a second as I remembered th
#Chapter106'Ethan took a deep gulp of his beer and looked at me once again.'******Adam suggested that I unpack my stuff until Emily get back from college and I obliged. I mean, it was getting really hard to maintain conversation. What do you even talk about to your sister's boyfriend who you're only meeting for the first time?Yeah, nothing.I had no idea how a couple of college going students could afford a two bedroom apartment on their own but I wasn't about to start complaining. Their extra bedroom was going to be my room, for the time being.Unpacking felt unreal. Placing my clothes into a foreign cabinet felt strange. How did my life turn into a point where I had had to live at my sister's place?Stopping my depressing thoughts midway, I concentrated on unpacking my stuff. I had no idea how long it took me to unpack but once I did, I plopped down in my bed and took a deep breath.I plugged my earphones and opened a random playlist in my phone and started
#Chapter107'I was floating and falling.'******In all the time I have spent knowing about werewolves, I amassed a lot of knowledge about mates too. A mate is a wolf's soul mate, his/her other half, without which they don't want to live.When a wolf finds their mate, all they can ever think about is their mate. They stop being attracted to anyone else and slowly, but surely fall in love with the person the moon goddess designated them to be with.There were still some who thought they could fight with the will of the goddess and they have affairs and cheat.It was clear to me that the mate bond affected a wolf and a human differently. Whatever I felt for Harper, he feels more than that. The tingles that danced on my skin whenever we touched were more prominent for Harper, than they were for me.However different my response to the mate bond as a human may be, shouldn't I follow this basic rule? Shouldn't I be not attracted to any other male beside my mate? I shouldn
#Chapter108'"Yeah, people. I miss my people."'******It's been two weeks since I had the dream with the moon goddess and I have never been angrier. I deserved to be angry, didn't I? Who the hell was she to condemn me to this suffering? Why the hell did she mate me with Harper when she knew we would have all these problems? Hell, why did she mate me with a werewolf in the first place? I was a human and would have been content in being with a human.I tried not to think about her, I really did but she just keeps popping into my head, bringing back all the memories I wanted to forget.It had also been two weeks since I came here and I was settling in pretty well. Even though I was miserable, I was pretty proud of myself for adjusting that quickly and efficiently.I had joined the new school the night after that dreadful dream and honestly, it wasn't bad. The building was pretty much like any other public school building and was a twenty minute drive from Emily's apartmen
