DRAKE'S POV
I was thrilled to have Zara acknowledge our mate bond. She felt what I was feeling all this while we were together and finally understood what it meant. I was more pleased with the fact that she was the one that brought the subject up because I was worried she would flee from me if I told her we were mates, especially considering how I met her and the state she was in when we met and my being Alpha did not make it easier.
When she came over to sit on my lap my whole body shot up in desire and warmth filled my heart. I lifted her into my hands after a short while and took her back to the bed where I gently laid her down and also lay beside her.
Zara moved her body closer to mine and put her head on my chest
JUST THE TWO OF USDRAKE'S POVAfter eating breakfast, I washed up and got dressed for the day. Justin had called and told me that there was a possibility of a rogue invasion happening, so I needed to go and help out. Before leaving the house, I informed Zara and told her to make herself at home while I was gone. This was the first time I had left her alone in the house since she began staying with me.I arrived at the boundary to find that a rogue had snuck into our pack and was causing some damage. Justin, Mark, and I hunted down the rogue and had him taken to the prison house for questioning. I wanted to give the rogue the benefit of the doubt by not killing them outright. Zara had also gone rogue and would have faced death at the hands of anothe
THE MEETINGZara'S POVI was a bundle of nerves as I dressed up for the meeting with the pack members. Alpha Drake had gone out of his way to ensure that I had new, comfy, and respectable clothes to put on. He had even spent more time trying to make sure that this was what I really wanted to do.I understood his worries, but I also knew it was the right thing for me to do. He was the alpha and his responsibility included the welfare of his subordinates and it was unfair to him and his pack members if I continued to be hidden from them. That was why I made up my mind to meet up with them finally, also I have a lot of respect for Alpha Drake, he was not like my father or brother. He was a man of his own words and if he treated me with so much ki
DRAKE'S POVI was happy to finally introduce my mate to the pack members. And they all seemed genuinely pleased to meet her, and I know that with time they all can be great friends just as I was to them.The cooking suggested by Rose was the icebreaker during the meeting and everyone tried to blend in and make the most use of the night.We all ate and drank till into the night before heading back to our homes.Zara accidentally broke her shoulders the next morning and I was reminded of how fragile she still was. I helped massage and try to fix the shoulders before we went downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast.
CLUELESSDRAKE'S POVZara ran up the flight of steps. It was the first time I saw her run or become overly excited. I wondered if her excitement had anything to do with my treat of coming to bathe with her. Mated werewolves were usually on a sexual overdrive.In no time she was out of the bathroom. She was so excited like a kid who got candy or a new toy. Her joy was so contagious that I looked forward to shopping with her even though shopping never excited me.It was not lost to me that she had not been with any man and that I might be the first man that ever kissed her. She was so innocent that I still wonder how it is possible at this age and time, then I remember the type of family she has and what they did t
DISTRESS IN THE PACKDRAKE'S POV"That was a serious case of information dump," Justin said. He had also heard all that Mrs. Murray had to say."You can say that again." I was still trying to process all that she said."She could be wrong though, they might not be gay but just best of friends.""Whatever the case may be, it's still none of our business as long as they are happy." Justin agrees with me and we change the topic to another issue at the pack. At least we had other pressing issues other than the sexuality of two male adults."The Da
#CHAPTER18 BAKE OFF DRAKE'S POV It all went well if I should say so. Even though I hated shopping, it was all fun with Zara by my side. She made everything easy and being around her was anything but dull. When we arrived later in the day we were greeted by the pack members and conversations easily flowed around us, but I noticed Chris who was usually bubbly and friendly was not his usual self, he was hesitant and unwilling to join in the conversation and stayed all to himself. I went to meet him because I was bothered by his attitude and I had been told by my father never to ignore anyone in the pack or make them feel unwelcome o
YOU WILL CATCH A COLD DRAKE'S POV I was beyond exhausted as Zara and I climbed the stairs to my room in the pack house. I had kept this room since my teenage years and continued to spend more time here than in the mansion, even after inheriting it from my parents. However, when Zara came into my life, I had to hide her in my room until she was feeling better and ready to interact with the rest of the pack. Now, everything has fallen into place and I plan on spending more time at the pack house. It's easier for me to manage the daily activities of the pack from here, and it also allows me to be more accessible to my subordinates. "It's breathtaking here," Zara exclaimed as we entered th
Zara'S POV We spent the night at the pack house. I used to think that it would be noisy and pretty busy but the opposite was the case, it was pretty quiet and I liked staying here immediately. The first night I spent at the pack house was lovely, the next morning I could not resist playing in the snow. I have always had a soft spot for the flakes as they fell from the sky but in my former pack, I was not allowed any free time and could only appreciate nature from my window corner in the basement. Now I was free and I felt the need to play in the snow and just be alive. Since meeting my mate Drake I see the world in a different light and I want to live, be happy, and love my mate every other day.

THE JOURNEY OF THE LONE WOLFNARRATOR'S POVDrake ran as fast as he could through the thick forest, the leaves crunching beneath his paws. He could feel the wind blowing through his fur as he dodged branches and trees in his way. He didn't stop until he was deep within the woods, far away from anyone who might be able to track him down.He let out a howl, a mournful cry that echoed through the trees. It was a cry of pain and loss, for his Luna Zara had been taken from him. He was not satisfied by his kills even though they had deserved death, their blood did not placate him. He remembered last night's event, he wondered how they took Zara away because there were no signs of a struggle, no clues as to where she had been taken. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.Drake had been devastated. Zara was his mate, his soulmate, and he had loved her deeply. They were just starting their journey, and he couldn't imagine life without her. He had searched for her tirelessly but to no ava

He remembered having an informal dinner with his betas present, Zara was also there and he almost forgot he had invited those two men. A feeling of dread rushed over him, who really were William and Seth? "Where are they?" Drake nearly screamed off the pack house."Who?" Mark looked on in confusion, his head was throbbing and he could still not feel some part of his body."Our guests, William and Seth Alpha and of Shadow pack. Have you seen them?""No, I have not, oh my goodness. I hope that they don't have anything to do with this."

DECEPTIONNARRATOR'S POV**********************A FEW DAYS LATERZara decided to go for a small walk, she could not shift into a wolf at this stage of her pregnancy to avoid having a miscarriage. But she did not mind, her only concern was for the wellbeing of her unborn child. Her plan was to walk the short distance between the pack house and the cafe. She would branch into the cafe for her favorite chocolate milkshake then continue with her walk.However, she met one of the twins Jasmine and her mother Cecilia in the cafe.

When they finally parted ways Zara could not continue with her planned walk because it was almost noon.On her way back, Zara felt goosebumps run over her body,
HOW DO WE GO ABOUT ITNARRATOR'S POVDrake checked his phone and it had five missed calls all from Justine. "You would think I have stolen his mate or something," Drake mumbled"Is everything alright?" Zara turned to face him."Yes, don't worry, go back to sleep." He kissed her forehead, and Zara slept off almost immediately.Drake left the bed and went to the balcony. It had been ages since he ran and it was just some minutes to six. He could run if he wanted to, his wolf beckoned to the forest and it howled begging for release. The fresh air and the dews called out to his wolf. He was already naked because he loved sleeping naked and since Zara came into his life, it was easier and best to sleep skin-to-skin with her. From his balcony, he jumped out and stretched, shifting to his wolf form in the air and landing on his paws. He ran into the woods with so much gust, strength, and power. His nose flared from the early morning wind, his paws romanced the damp earth, and Drake was fulf

Drake replied "We don't like traitors and if you plan to deceive us you will wish the wolf hunters had dealt with you and not us." I understand sir, all I want is help to rescue my pack," William repeated."We will get back to you." Drake's mind linked a guard who took the two men away, he was to provide them food and shelter and they must be guarded at all times.As soon as William and Seth left the room, Drake and his betas went in for a private meeting just within them. "There seems to be trouble waiting on standby for us," Justine remarked"Why do you say that?" Mark asked, "We have been solving one case after another for
