Once we were finished eating I tell Cain and Atticus I'm gonna go take a shower so we can leave. "Umm. You can use my shower. I can't get someone in to fix your door until tomorrow." Atticus says. "Thank you. I'll only be a few minutes." I tell him.
Walking up the stairs I begin to realize that I don't know which room is his. 'Hey Cain.' I mind link him. 'Yeah?' 'Where's Atticus' room?' I question. 'Right next to yours.' He chuckles. Those sneaky bastards I think to myself. Making it to the door I open it and to my surprise there's a disgusting looking blond
Leaving the gym I make my way upstairs feeling flustered. 'What the fuck was that?' I yell at my wolf. 'I'm sorry okay. It just kinda happened.' 'What ever. You're giving him mixed signals. We have to be on the same page here. I can't hate him and you be in love with him.' I hiss. 'I'm not in love with him! It's the bond dammit.'I step in my room and realize I still don't have a door. 'Shit. Looks like I'm using his bathroom.' I huff. I turn around and walk to the room next to mine and open the door stepping inside. I walk to a door on the left side o
Cains POVAfter Zara walks in I follow after her to make sure she finds once she walks down the stairs I turn around heading to the living room taking a seat on the couch. As I'm flipping through channels Atticus walks in coming right for me. "Did she come back?" He immediately questions. "Yeah. She's been in the gym for a couple hours." I tell him. "The gym? Why?" He questions. "She probably needed to let off some steam. She wasn't really happy Atticus."
Zaraphine's POVI quickly run upstairs to get my shoes. I grab them and put them on before making my way back downstairs. "Okay. I'm ready." I breath out stopping in front of Cain. "Alright let's go." He chuckles. Turning around we walk out and see an all black Chevy Camaro sitting right in front of the house. "This is his car?" I say dropping my jaw. "Yeah but be careful you've got a little drool right here" Cain says pointing at my lower lip laughing.
We make it to the club and Cain walks over to my door and opens it for me then helps me out. "Thanks" I say blushing. Spotting Cain we make our way over to him. "Hey guys." Leo says. "You look good Zara." I lower my head blushing "thanks." I say. "Come on. I want a drink." Cain says pulling us up to the front of the line. "Don't we have to wait?" I question. "Not when my brother is the owner." He says with a smirk.The guy standing at the door let's us in as soon as he sees Cain. "Have a good time Cain." He calls out. The place is crowded so I grab onto Cain
Atticus' POV"Cain please don't take her." I beg. "She needs to get out of the house brother. If you're worried about her going why don't you come with us?" "I can't. It will put her in danger if people find out I have my mate. Everyone will be after her." I explain. "Atticus she can't stay locked up in here for the rest of her live. She needs to have a life otherwise she will continue hating you." He tries reasoning with me.
Cain picked me up and carried me upstairs to his room. Laying me on the bed he covered me up and sat down on the side of the bed holding my hand. "I'm so sorry Zar. I never would've brought you here if I knew he was gonna do this." He says sadly. "It's okay Cain. You didn't know.. but I will make him accept my rejection." I whisper. "How?" "By being exactly what he doesn't want me to be." I state matter of factly.I fell asleep sometime in the night still clinging to Cains hand. Surprisingly I had a dreamless sleep. When I wake up Cain is gone. I slowly clim
Atticus' POV"You smell good though." She says as her eyes flutter closed. She falls right onto my chest as I wrap my arms around her securely. I lift her up out of the water and walk towards the ladder. Climbing out I look to Cain who has an ashamed look on his face. "Brother get me a towel please." I say. He turns around and runs into the house as I turn around and look at my pack. "Blood Moon pack! I know this was an unplanned event but since everyone is here I would like you to officially meet your Luna! You all know tha
Atticus' POVWhen I wake up Zara is still clinging to my hand causing my heart to flutter. 'Should we leave? Maybe she won't want to see us when she wakes up?' I question my wolf. 'I don't want to leave her but it might be a good idea.' He says sadly. I lightly pull my hand away causing her to stir a little bit. 'Shit maybe I shouldn't have moved.' I tell him. 'Just hurry up and get out before she fully wakes up.' He rushes out.
One Year Later- Atticus POVTo think that a year has passed since my mate has vanished is surreal. My brothers and I, along with Selene, Jasper, and Eos have been working nonstop to find any trace of her. I know she is not dead I would've felt our bond break which is the only thing that has given me hope in finding her. When Selene came to Lakota's pack I was more than shocked to find out that Jasper Knight was Selene's, true mate. She did seem surprised to see him but she let it be while everyone was present. Every day I go out looking for Zaraphine, looking further than the day before. Selene says she can not feel her wolf, almost like she has vanished. I can tell that They have all lost hope in finding her alive but there is no way that I can just give up knowing she is out there presumably alone. Every full moon my wolf breaks free and runs the entire night howling at the moon waiting and listening for a howl in return. He hopes that one day on his adventures she will hear his cal
Jasper Knight's POVAs I explained to my mate that Zaraphine was in fact my blood gasps sounded behind me. I guess Selene never told her sister that we were indeed intimate. "I will find my daughter Esther and if I find a single scratch on her that is from your hand, I will kill you myself. Do you understand me?" I question harshly. She gives a slight nod to which I turn on my heel and head upstairs to the office. After I make it to the office I hear footsteps on the stairs. 'Good. I thought they would stay down there forever.' My wolf says. 'Hush! I understand their confusion.' I tell him. As I cut him off the door swings open and in comes At
Atticus' POVContinuing down the dimly lit stairway I pick up the scent of blood. 'Do you smell that?' Leo questions through the mind link. 'Yes. Stay alert.' I tell him. He gives me a slight nod and we continue in silence. Never taking my eyes off of Lakota, I watch as he tenses as he hits the last step. "What's wrong Lakota?" I question him. "Something's not right. I don't know what it is though." He says. "Who do you have down here Lakota? Is it only Esther?" I ask him accus
Atticus' POVWith a huff, I gave a nod and followed Lakota and this strange woman into the packhouse that I once grew up in. I stopped quickly and called behind me, "Leo come with me and everyone else stand down unless I say otherwise." In unison, I received, "Yes Alpha." Continuing forward with a slight smirk we make it to Lakota's office and take a seat. Prepared for a fight I never take my eyes of him. 'Do you trust this?' Leo questions through the mind link. 'I'm not sure. Stay alert.' I tell him cautiously. "Do not worry brother I would never attack you in our home. " Lakota says as if he is reading my mind.
Lakota's POVOnce I opened my eyes, I immediately regretted it. Snapping them back closed, protecting myself from the blinding lights above. I could hear the constant beeping noise to the right of my head which was making my headache worse. I wiggled my fingers and toes making sure I was still in one piece when I hurled the hushed whispers. I tried to block it out the best I could but it was no use. As it started getting louder my anger started to rise, causing me to bark my order, "SHUT UP AND LEAVE MY ROOM NOW!" The voices stopped for a few minutes before there was shuffling and the click of a door being closed.
Atticus' POVA few days have passed since we stopped to rest and we have stopped for our final time, outside of Dark Moon territory. We all have agreed to stop and rest before we enter in case of an attack. My men are right I do not want to be weak for this. I need to get Zaraphine back and the only way I can do that is if I am at my strongest point. "Alpha." I hear a warrior from behind m
Zaraphine's POVIt has been a few days since I have officially left Dark Moon. I have been constantly on the move, never stopping for more than an hour at a time. My wolf is constantly fighting me, begging me to return to Blood Moon and take our place as Luna and mate. Every time she begins her antics I block her out and continue on in silence. I've passed a few packs on my journey but made sure to not step into their territory. When I am out here on my own, I am considered a r
Zaraphine's POV"Home?" I questioned lowly. Where was my home? I don't have a home. I have places that I visit, that is all. I do not want to go anywhere with these people. I just want to get away from it all. I want to get away from them. Nobody loves me, nobody cares for me, and nobody wants me. Why would I want to stay anywhere with them? I thought to myself. Esther and this woman who I now know as Eos continued to scream back and forth as I made my way over to a still unconscious Lakota.
Zaraphine's POVIt's been a few days since anyone has come down to the cells. It's been pretty peaceful, I can catch up on sleep. Anytime I get visitors they hit and kick me to keep me awake. I can no longer feel the presence of my wolf. Ever since Lakota told me I would be mated to him, I felt her slowly fading away. I just hope she is at peace. The day I met my wolf I have done nothing but cause her grief and heartache, so it makes me kind of happy knowing she is no longer with me. I never wanted to put her through so much.
