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
Chapter 34 Alexander's POV The moment our lips touched, it was like an explosion of emotions had erupted within me, I felt like I was losing my mind, I could not get enough of her, it was like she was not close enough despite how close I pulled her. She was reluctant at first but it was not long before she melted against me completely and began kissing me with as much passion as I was kissing her. A tiny voice at the back of my mind was telling me that this was wrong and should not be happening but a much louder voice kept saying that we were meant to be and this was so very right. Kissing her and holding her in my arms felt like I was being engulfed in liquid fire but it was a delicious burning that I would have gladly accepted. I pulled away from her lips and peppered her face in light kisses as I whispered her name multiple times. I was burning as so was she, I could feel in the urgency with which she held on to me and moved her body against my own. Nothing else existed but
Chapter 35Ethan’s POVI woke up with a feeling of forbearing, I kept having a feeling something terrible was going to happen today and I had no idea what it was.“You look terrible” I said to Maria when she stepped out of the bathroom.Taking a closer look at her, I realized she looked worse than I thought initially, her skin was clammy and her hair stuck to her skin since she was covered in sweat, her skin was pale and even from where I sat on the bed, I could guess she was running a temperature. I rushed out of the bed and held her, I was right, she was burning up, her body temperature felt like it was well over a hundred degrees. How the hell did she become like this? She was okay when we went to bed last night.“What happened to you? You were okay last night?” I asked her as I led her to the bed and gently placed on it.“I was fine until a few hours ago, I think I caught a bug or something like that, I should be okay soon, I just need some rest” she said, her voice sounded weak
