DISTRESS IN THE PACK
DRAKE'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.
ACTIVITIES DRAKE'S POV Zara and I return from our morning walk and meet Amber trying to mend her clothes. I had no idea if she had any sewing skills, the sewing machine had been lying idle for a while now, and seeing her try to mend her clothes seemed like a nice idea. I was giving out some instructions to my men when Zara came downstairs after taking her bath and I noticed her go up to amber and start mending it herself. I was beginning to suspect that she is a super wolf because she seemed to know how to use her hands. First, it was cooking, then baking, and now sewing, she has proven herself capable of being the luna. Being Luna was not just about mating to an alpha or loo
WET AND CREAMY DRAKE'S POV I noticed that Zara was already dozing off while watching Finding Nemo, and I paused the film. She was probably hungry and she was not supposed to skip any meal, the doctor had warned that any reduction in her daily nutrient consumption could be detrimental to her health. And I did not want that because to me, she has suffered enough. I pat her to wake up and help her get out of bed. "I need you to come downstairs with me, we need to get some food for you." Zara rolled her eyes at me and I smirked at her. I liked that she was now comfortable with me and could act silly without worrying about how I would react.
Zara'S POVI have never been intrigued by lovemaking even though I have heard stories surrounding it. I have watched girls drool over my brother and other males in our pack and the boys go to the extreme to impress a girl.Growing up I used to wait for prince charming to save me and take me out of my pack but as I got older, I knew it was all a fallacy, nobody was coming to save me until I met Drake and experienced the mate bond, I was of the impression that nothing else would beat the feeling. But was I wrong?Been wrapped in Drake's arm, kissing him and having him kiss me back. His hands weaved magical sensations around my body. We connected on a supernatural level, but things changed when he tried to fill me in, I
GIRLY THINGSZara'S POVBaking, cooking, and cleaning were all I knew how to do at the former pack. I was tortured by it, I could hardly get in time for myself and I hated the work and those that hurt me.However, since coming to Blackwood pack, my cooking skills have won me accolades and some form of admiration and respect. I sometimes wonder if the saying that things happen for a reason was factual and if my experiences were a form of training for my future. Whatever it was, I am glad my torturous past is over and I am where I am treated well and loved.I have never baked a lemon cake, however, I used my knowledge of how to bake other types of cake to whisk up one. It was not that difficult or different from the other cake, the only difference was the addition of lemon zest and Lemon juice. The best part was that Chris loved the cake and Drake was by my side cheering me on.Once the cake was ready, we went back to our room to change for dinner. Drake was ready in no time and left t
MORE ABOUT HER PAST Zara'S POV As I prepared for dinner, my nerves were on edge. This was the first formal event I would be attending as the Alpha's mate, and I knew that those in attendance would have high expectations of me. I carefully chose my attire, opting for a green dress that reminded me of my late mother. She had sea-green eyes that always seemed to sparkle when she spoke to me or sang me lullabies. I chose this dress as a tribute to her, as well as a symbol of my own growth and the changes in my life. I had never worn makeup before, and I did not want to change my appearance in order to conform to societal expectations. I believed that true beauty came from within and that the use of cosmetics was unnecessary.

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

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. She was surprised when they stopped her and engaged in small talk. The rude young lady with a temper sounded more mature and accommodating, even her mother was not as condescending as before.Zara was not sure what brought about the change but whatever it was she was happy to see so much growth in Jasmine. 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 asked the visitors."We have heard a lot of good things about the Blackwood pack even before we were invaded and we thought of you guys first upon our escape," William replied, he made a point of meeting the eyes of each man in the room"For your own sake, I hope you are telling the truth." 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.
