TAKING CARE OF ME
Zara'S POV
I like Alpha Drake a lot, he was all I ever wanted in a mate and more. He made me feel special and beautiful. Beautiful, a word I never associated myself with, until I met him, even with all my flaws he still looked at me as if I was rare, delicate, and precious.
Now he was all over me, fussing over my heart rate. I won't lie, no one has ever been concerned about my health since after my mum died, my father and brother would have gladly killed me if they could, I have no doubt that they let me live because they felt my being alive was worse than death. They were not wrong because I was a living corpse in my former pack.
"I feel fine," I say to Drake who was looking
AM SORRY ZARA DRAKE'S POV Nothing came as a surprise to me anymore, I have seen it all, been through it all, yet I was not prepared to witness Zara's heart rate beat faster than a drum, worst perceive the scent of another in her. The scent I perceived around her was new, I knew the scent of almost everyone in the pack but the one I perceived on Zara was strange to me. She had been with me all day, if not I would conclude that she must have met with someone who was a stranger to me. I studied her for a while, she sat innocently beside me a little shy from the attention I was giving her. I couldn't help it, I was looking for a clue as to the unusual things happening to her.
DRAKE'S POVI had to put an end to doctor Rachel's medical examination of Zara. I did not want to put her in the same situation as she had been when she was in her former pack.With me, I want her to be able to make her own decisions and choices. I did not want to be overbearing or throw my alpha title around her. She was my Luna, my mate, my companion, and my partner. With me, she was equal and that was how I wanted it to be.Zara was already broken when she came into my life and as she gradually repairs back into her person, I must desist from imposing decisions on her.I was grateful that I was able to make amendments at the end and stop Racheal from taking her blood or doing any
PLANS, PESTERING, AND BANTERDRAKE'S POVWe finally managed to take a bath and went to bed naked. I wrapped my arms around Zara as she snuggled into me and I purred, Dwayne was one pleased wolf."Good Night, Zara." I kiss the back of her neck."Good night my Alpha," Zara teased before sleep took control over us.It felt heavenly waking up to the sensation of holding my mate in my arms. Her soft and warm naked body pressed against mine was enough to awaken my sleeping member. I would never be able to get enough of her, I wanted her every moment and there was no doubt about that.But I had to work, for two d
DRAKE'S POV Once I finished my share of work at the office, I was famished and needed food, if not I won't be of any use to anybody and would be grumpy all day. Mark and Justin were also through with their work and we decided to close the office early and go out for brunch at the cafe close to the office for some food. Werewolves are known to have enormous appetites, an adult male werewolf could eat twice what an adult human male would eat and still not get filled up. As soon as we entered the restaurant, my mouth watered as the scent of cooked meals filled the air. I choose a table at the far corner to avoid being seen by anyone that enters, if not I would be bombar
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TROUBLEThe meeting was over in about an hour, I had been worried that it would take most of the day especially because elder Mathew liked to take his time whenever making deliberations. He would make sure we went over and over an issue till you are bored and edgy.It was a miracle that he did not dwell on any issue for too long. The elders left as soon as the meeting ended and I insisted on seeing them off at least to the gate when they asked me not to."What a day," I said to Mark as I walked back into the office. It was always a huge relief to iron out issues and everyone is on the same page."It all went well, every loose end was patched up." Mark replied, "Are you ready to leave, I have a dinner da
JUST LIVINGZara'S POVMy heart twisted with joy knowing that I would be spending the day with Drake. For about two days now, we have not shared a lot of time. I don't blame him, it was not as if he abandoned me but he had to perform his duty as the alpha and not just babysit me.I understand that our time together would be a little less during the days due to his work, however, my heart is full, and I appreciate him for deciding to spend the whole morning with me and we would spend the first part of the day cooking. I asked Drake if we should cook for everyone and he liked the idea and agreed to help me.The house was already coming to life even though it was still 5:25 am. The early risers were already start
NIGHTMARES DRAKE'S POV My body ached as if I had been working the whole day which I did not. I could hardly catch a good sleep as I kept having weird dreams of a war-torn pack. I could not help but wonder if it was the same pack Justin had asked me to rescue from their terrible Alpha, I had heard of the pack before but had not had any dealing with them before. Opening my eyes, I lay in bed for a few seconds, with my eyes focused on the ceiling briefly before moving to where Zara lay sleeping her back to me. I stood up minutes later and went to the bathroom to ease my bladder and brush my teeth. I hated being in this position where you are expected to do things right for everyone. Somehow I wish
THE ROGUE WOLFThe walk from the pack house to the forest was about forty-five minutes. We could have gone with one of my cars but we opted to walk instead. That way we would also observe the pack and check for any irregularities, meet the pack members also and hear any of their concerns and complaints.It took us (myself and my betas) almost two hours to reach the woods after much consultation with the people."I knew it would take forever." Justin moaned"I expected that, at least, we were able to know what was going on in the pack and the issues we might have missed." I reply "Now, we can focus on ensuring the wood is as safe as possible."We

He also had an unusual thirst for blood, which he struggled to keep under control.Despite his unique abilities, Blake tried his best to fit in with the other children in his pack. He attended school with them and played sports, but he always felt like an outsider.Blake's mother, Zara, did her best to help him navigate the challenges of being a werewolf with vampire blood.

A THREAT OF MISCARRIAGEZara lay in her bed, writhing in pain. She clutched her stomach, tears streaming down her face as she tried to fight off the pain that was tearing through her body. She knew what was happening - she was having a miscarriage.Drake sat by her side, holding her hand and whispering words of comfort. But he knew that there was nothing he could do to ease her pain. He had never felt so helpless in his life.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Drake stood up to answer it, and he was surprised to find the vampire king standing outside."Your highness," Drake said, bowing respectfully. "What brings you here?"The vampire king's face was grim as he stepped inside. "I have come to help your Luna," he said. "I sense that she is in great pain."Drake led the vampire king to Zara's side, where she was still moaning in agony. The vampire king knelt beside her, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly light."Let me help," he said, placing a hand on Zara's forehead. She fli

But it wasn't until the scientists came that she realized just how special she really was.They had been watching her for weeks, tracking her movements and taking samples of her blood.

She felt like a lab rat, and she didn't like it one bit.One day, when the scientists came to take her blood again, something inside Zara snapped.

With a fierce growl, she lunged at the nearest scientist, her jaws sn
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
MISSING NARRATOR'S POV"Zara…Zara…Zara" Drake ran up the flight of stairs in search of his wife when he noticed she was the only one not there. He was already in great panic. His memory of last night was still blurry and his head hurt like hell. As he called for his wife, he tried to make sense of what was happening and also recall what happened last night. 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." Mark replied."I think they are the brains behind all this, they are gone, and so is my Zara." D

Even though the portion was very potent and lasted for hours, he could not take chances He ordered Seth to bring Zara along and he lifted her easily and placed her on his shoulders. The car was packed outside the pack house which made it easier for them, Seth Carefully placed Zara into the passenger seat, William took the wheels and Seth sat behind in the car.They drove off as soon as they were all seated, their only worry was how they will pass the gate that enclosed the community."What will you tell the guards," Seth murmured as they got closer to the gate."Nothing," William replied"We are good as dead then." Seth smacked his face"Stop being a drama queen. The illusions won't Wear off till for hours to come."As they got close to the gate and the guard came to them, Seth's heart beat faster, it was only when th
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
ARE THEY FOR REALNARRATOR'S POV"Why did you choose our pack?" 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. "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
