Zara's POVI kept looking at the elegant piece of paper in my hand, wonder if it had been delivered by mistake, I read the works written in an elegant hand."Mr. Alexander Dupree and the lovely Zara are here by invited to the Alpha and Luna's ball wchich is scheduled to take place on the 14th of the current month, we will the honored by your presence"I wondered what to make iof this, I did not want to go to some stupid fany party at the Dupree mansion, I will have to smile and be nice every one I met there and that is was definitely not my style.I walked back into the house, I was home alone today, Xander had a few things to handle abd he will be back later, I was not sure if I should cook him dinner or something since I was not really sure what he enjoyed.A smile crossed my lips, it was funny really, I had followed him around for years and I hardly new anything important about him, I was simply enamored by his domineering personality and how I felt when he was close to me.Now, I
Alexander’s POVI was having a bad feeling, I was with Sam and a few of my people and they were briefing on the situation of things, the business back home and everything going on here.The feeling was simply mild at first and then it grew until it became a nagging feeling, one that demanded to be attended to immediately, just what the hell was happening right now.Then I heard it, it was a faint call, I barely heard it but I could tell it was Zara, I heard it in my head, her voice sounded distressed and panicked.I shot out of my chair immediately, Sam looked at me “What is the matter Xander? Are you okay?” he asked me.I felt it again, the terrible feeling and I knew there was no more time to waste, Zara was in trouble.“I have to go, Zara seems to be in some sort of trouble” I said and turned toward the exit.“Xander, wait for us, you can’t go alone, we will go with you” Sam called from behind me.I did not look back, they could follow me if they wanted but I had to get to Zara fa
Chapter 28Maria's POV"Absolutely not" I said.Alexander had the guts to rool his eyes at me as he placed the unconscious woman on the bed and might I add, she was also covered in blood stains ruining the expensive wool bed covers."I just need her to stay here for a few days and then I will come and get her" he said as he straightened up. I noticed that he also had blood splattered all over his clothes as well and there was a wildness in his eyes."What happened?? What trouble did you guys land yourself in this time?" I asked him."Nothing that concerns you, just let her stay here until I have settled everything" he said.Why exactly was I angry about this? Normally I would have been more than willing to help anyone in need but I was not feeling very charitable towards the lady in the bed.I knew even without being told hat this was Zara, she was Alexander's mate and though I will never admit it out loud, I hated that fact greatly."Ethan will not want her here" I said finally out
Zara's POVI woke up with a start, my heart was pounding madly in my chest, my body was coated with sweat and the top I wore clung to my body.I looked around trying to recognize where I was but I could not.The silk curtains and shiny furnitures looked nothing like the ones in my room.It slowly began to come back to me, Xander had been here before but he was gone now.I pushed my hair from my face as I got up from the bed, my head was pounding with the after effects of the horrible tranquilizer I had been shot with.I was sure that those bastards had already met their maker by now, Xander would have made sure of that.I was a few steps away from the door when the door swing open and a girl worked in, I figured we we might be around the same age or she might be older than me She gave me a smile and said "Oh you are awake, my name is Jenna and I will be looking after you while you are here, I will attend to all your needs" The fuck was this? Where exactly had Xander left me? Servant
Chapter 30Alexander’s POVFinding Silas had proved to be quite easy in the end, all I had to do was to trust a city boy to show his true colors in a sleepy country town, the fool had booked an entire hotel with his goons and threw a lavish rooftop party, we just had to follow the sound of loud music and heavy drinking and we had him on our hands.I could not wait to rip him apart for what he dared to do to Zara, he was such a coward, going after Zara instead of facing me like a man, leader to leader but he had to go ahead and play a cowardly game, I was no coward, I fought fair and square.“He is inside here, we have confirmed it” Sam said to me when we got to the rowdy hotel.I nodded my head and said “Let’s go and get this over with, I have to get back to Zara”We got out of the car and started toward the entrance, the guards must have recognized me because I could see the fear immediately register on their faces.Sam and the others flanked me on both sides as we got to the door, I
Chapter 31Zara’s POVI felt it the moment I took my place at the table, the intense stare and the silent appraisal, I was not one of them, we were worlds apart, though I looked like them right now, wearing clothes that were not mine and scenting of soft flowers and fruits, I knew I did not belong here and never would and for some reason, I did not want to.I studied them as the food was dished out into plates, Ethan Dupree, the man of the house, Alpha of the crescent pack, husband to Maria Sandoval and finally, younger brother to Xander.He looked nothing like his brother, his eyes were a warm shade of blue while Xander’s were the most beautiful shade of brown and his hair was a shade of blonde while Xander’s hair was so black it reminded me of midnight, the brothers were nothing alike, even their auras were different, Xander was all consuming and domineering and Ethan had a dominant side to him as well but I was not sure about it, there was something completely off about him.Then t
Chapter 32Alexander’s POVIt was almost midnight when I arrived at Ethan and Maria’s house, the guards let me in without a single question, I had returned home to get a change of clothes and take a bath to wash the blood of my body, I would not give my baby brother a heart attack.I walked to the front door and knocked, it took a few minutes for a maid to open the door.“Master Alexander, welcome back, the Luna asked to see you when you arrived” she said as she let me in.What the fuck was Master Alexander? I could not believe they still did this trash in this damn house, I remember growing up, I was referred to as young master Alexander and it always pissed the hell out of me.“Thank you, I will see her later, is Zara awake yet?” I asked the maid who was already directing me to where I could find Maria no doubt.She looked a bit flustered when I said this “Ummm, Miss Zara is awake already but Madam Maria asked to see you first” she said.“You should go to bed, I will handle things f
Maria’s POV I woke up with a start, I looked around and Ethan was sleeping soundly beside me, he had pulled me closer to him and wrapped his hand around my waist, a sigh left my lips as my breathing slowly returned to normal. I had been dreaming again, I had been dreaming about Alexander once more, the pesky dreams seemed to be coming in more frequency these days and the contents of the dreams were even more intense and they were beginning to seem more like memories, they seemed like events that might have happened to us before in the past but that seemed unlikely since I had no memory of Alexander before now. I was even more confused after meeting with my nurse from when I was younger because as I far as I was concerned, every single thing she had said to me made no sense, she had said my mother had been in good terms with the Dupree family before my marriage to Ethan. But I knew for a fact that my mother had said it was only over her dead body I will marry a son from the enemy pa
