MEETING THE BETA Zara'S POVAs I retreated to the bed, I sat down and grabbed hold of the pillow, feeling anxious that I might have upset the Alpha. However, I soon learned that Alpha Drake was not like my father or brother at all.For a moment, the Alpha simply looked at me, his gaze fixed upon me. Though I tried not to meet his eyes directly, I could sense from the periphery of my vision that he was watching me intently. I clutched the pillow tighter, feeling nervous and on edge. The thought crossed my mind to flee, but I knew I had to stay put and try to keep my composure."What is your name? I mean your full name." the alpha asked me. I thought he knew but I reminded him in case he had forgotten."I mean your full name." He repeated, and he also gave an example with his full name.He must think I am a dunce, was what I was thinking. Unfortunately, I did not know the other part of my name. My life had been a nightmare and I barely knew my full identity.What's your age?" the alpha
TONGUE TIEDDrake's POVI was very happy to see Zara engaging in conversations and games with Justin and me. Despite some initial reservations, she seemed more at ease now. I was also grateful for Justin's acceptance of Zara as my mate, which he demonstrated through his actions.The most poignant moment of the afternoon was when Doctor Rachel arrived and Zara retreated to the bathroom to hide. I could feel her anxiety and fear, and it was painful to see. However, when she emerged from the bathroom, I was touched by her effort to make me happy, even though it must have been difficult for her.And when she confessed the way she was reacting to me which she found strange I was dumbfounded, it was so une
MY MATES TOUCHZara's POVI am struggling to come to terms with the fact that my life has changed so dramatically within the past week. I made a rash decision that I thought would end in my death, but it ended up being my salvation. Drake entered my life and showed me kindness and compassion that I had never experienced before, even from my own family.He has made it his mission to take care of me and make sure that I am okay. It's strange to have someone care for me so deeply and do things for me that no one else has ever done. As I watch him go out of his way to make me food, I can't help but wonder why he is doing all of this for me. Despite the strangeness of the situation, I am grateful to have Drake in my life and to have a new chance at living."Why are you so kind to me.? I ask in between bites from the sandwich he had made for me."Why shouldn't I, you deserve all the attention from me," Drake said with a smile. I was beginning to get used to his smile, it made me weak in my
ALPHA WANTS A CAKE Zara'S POV Alpha Drake gave a loud and angry howl in response to my story about abuse. His eyes changed color and his fangs appeared, and he became visibly angry, trashing things on the counter. I had never seen him so angry before, and I was both surprised and relieved that he was angry on my behalf. I knew I needed to stop him from causing further damage to the kitchen, so I went to him and hugged him tightly. He held on to me in return, and as I held him, I could feel his heart rate start to slow down and his anger dissipate. Drake buried his face in my neck, inhaling my scent and running his tongue over my skin. I couldn't help but moan at the sensation, but quickly covered my mouth in embarrassment. After he regained his composure, he ended the hug and apologized to me. "I'm sorry you had to witness that. I feel embarrassed." "Don't be," I replied, genuinely touched by his concern for me. "I should thank you for caring so much about me. You're like a broth
THE MATE PULLZara'S POVI really enjoy spending time with alpha Drake. I'm not sure why I feel so drawn to him, but every time we're together it's like my favorite activity.Recently, he invited me to bake a cake with him and I happily agreed. I'm actually glad my father made me learn how to bake from the pack cook because it turned out to be a useful skill to have. I never would have thought that what was set out to be a punishment by my father turned out to be a blessing in the guiseAs we baked the cake together, the entrance door suddenly opened and loud voices of teenagers filled the house. I panicked and struggled to catch my breath. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't calm down.
DRAKE'S POVI 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.

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.
