Zoey’s POV.I hear beeping. This shouldn’t be the sound of heaven. I was expecting to hear a little chirping and the water of the mountain springs that runs quickly from under the stones. This is how I imagined that heaven should be. The definition of freedom, yet all I hear is that mechanical noise, like it is coming from a medical device.I am trying to open my eyes but I can barely blink, and I feel my eyes so heavy. Everything hurts. I can feel someone holding my hand and people talking around me. Don’t tell me that I am alive?It is impossible. I was attacked by a hoard of rogues. I would have let them kill me but they tried to rape me. I am alright with dying but not like that. So I attacked them and fought with everything I have. I don’t remember much, except when they threw me into the ravine with my abdomen cut. So how is that I am here?Who found me? I was far from the packhouse. Don’t tell me…And before I could focus to recover my mind went into chaos. Please, goddess, I
Tristan’s POV.“Dammit!” I curse in my mind as soon as I exit the ward of this…pain in my ass mate of mine.She woke up three days ago, I have avoided her since then and a half an hour ago I just received the news that she was discharged after the casts from her legs and all her stitches came off. She just left the hospital.The last two weeks were the most difficult time of my life. It’s hard to explain why because I don’t want her, or that’s what I thought. It is true that the bond mate can lift you up and help you become the best version of yourself or put you in the grave. She made me look like an old hulk wrecked on the shore in front of my pack members. Suddenly everyone is whispering and I am the bad guy. Why ? Because they found out that she is my mate?Not even when my parents died I felt so meaningless. At the same time I am tired and I am furious with Viggo for forcing me to stay in this bond mate. I am tired of fighting him day and night. For the first time in my life I f
Author’s POV.Carl Jung said that in all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder there is a secret order. And that does not apply only to physics but in every single aspect of our lives. It’s hard to explain but in every single meaningless issue we encounter ,after some time it looks like there was a connection. There was something, a substrate of maximum importance that we haven’t been able to see it from the beginning.And that’s the way Tristan felt since that rainy day, when Zoey appeared in his office asking him to make his surrogate. Beyond the anger he felt, with every single moment spent around her he started to feel the bond mate more and more. Don’t get me wrong, he still doesn't want her. The plan is the same. She will give him a pup and after that he will reject her. He will make himself free from Zoey Carter. The most important part of having a Luna is related to the pups. If he solves this problem he will not need her anymore.And with his thoughts in his mind he agree
Zoey’s POV.This …this…this…deceitful woman! She tricked me! I just stare at Rose and I have nothing else to do but to follow her to her room. Everyone is basically living on the same floor, on the Alpha’s floor. I get why Nana should be staying here but I have no reason to be here.“So” Rose starts clapping her palms in happiness. “From now on you don’t need to worry about anything, Zoey. From now on you have me. I am your person in this pack!” and she gives me the most beautiful and innocent smile as if this should be something normal, what she just said.“Excuse me, but I don’t understand,” I tell her. Right now I am alone with her , in her room, and I was expecting her to explain to me what my chores are but instead she just dragged me in the middle of her bed and started to blabber about pink unicorns and rainbows.“I have your back, Zoey. My brother can’t torment you as much time you are with me.” and I blink a few times as I am unable to process what the hell she is telling me
Author’s POV.Zoey stopped in her tracks and couldn’t believe what she just heard. Who would be so damned stupid to reject someone as beautiful and powerful as Rose? So she most likely is just confused and didn't understand correctly what Rose had said so coming back to her senses, Zoey walks to Rose and says.“It’s fine if you rejected him. Most likely he was a scoundrel!” but Rose’s eyes fill with tears and shakes her head.“No. He rejected me, I wanted to be with him. I had a crush on him for years. He rejected me. Directly and unappealable.” and now Zoey’s heart stopped. Someone dared to reject Rose Mayer? She is perfect. Everyone talks about how smart she is. About how beautiful and attractive Rose is, with her long hair and blue eyes. Looking like a perfect supermodel. Who the hell would dare to reject her?“Who did it?” Zoey asks and her heart is full of rage, thinking of thousands of ways to find that stupid man and make him pay. If there is someone able to understand Rose’s
Tristan’s POV.Fuck, fuck, fuck!What the hell is wrong with me? I went back to my room after I had dinner. I was a little bit frustrated that Zoey didn’t attend the dinner but at the same time happy because I was more than sure that she would have ended the evening by ruining my mood. I am still not easy with the fact that she is here, but if I want to have a moment of peace and not fight with Viggo, Rose and even Nico about this issue, I need to use her as my surrogate.Only the fact that she was right next door made me become agitated. How the hell I am going to ignore the bond mate when this woman is suffocating me with her scent. Viggo was right. She imprinted that scent in my being.I leaned in my bed and tried to calm down. All I need is to control Viggo. I am more than a man in heat because of the bond mate. Control yourself, Tristan Mayer! I command myself and almost slap myself. Breathe slowly and concentrate!One, two, three…Shit! Is she taking a shower?“She must be nake
Author’s POV.In the morning everyone was already having breakfast when Tristan arrived. Nico and Mason were talking about training while Rose was eating in silence, clearly affected by something but she was spaced out. Tristan looked around and frowning he sat down at the table.He was sure that he would find Zoey here and she would force herself on him but she was nowhere to be seen. This should make him feel happy but surprisingly his heart was uneasy.“Where is Nana?” he asked, trying to find what was interesting to him, bypassing the most obvious question.Rose placed her knife and her fork on her almost untouched plate filled with food and as if she was giving him an invisible punch in his face she asked him directly.“If you want to know where Zoey is, you can ask me directly.”Hearing her Tristan’s blood pressure reached dangerous levels but he suppressed his need to beat his own sister and started to eat, ignoring Rose.“Why would he care about that bitch?” Mason asks as he
Tristan’s POV.“Alpha” Nana tells me “There is no need to assist me to the doctor. I can do this by myself. You must be busy. I don't want to hold you back unnecessarily."“Alpha?” Viggo asks and he growls at me. ”Even Nana is treating us like shit because of you.” and I would lie if I wouldn’t be upset because of her, but she is one of those people I can’t relieve my anger. I love this old woman and what she represents in my life even though she is holding grudges with me because of Zoey.“Alpha?” I ask her in return. “What happened to Nana that I remember her calling me her little boy? Did she disappear just like that?”Nana looks at me with sad eyes. She is sick but this gaze is not because of her illness. It’s because of Zoey for sure. Everything that is touched by this woman goes into chaos!“I am furious because of you, Alpha!” she said and she barely refrains from growling at me.“All I want in this world is for Zoey to be happy.” and that statement made me angry. I was sure t
Author’s POV.“SURPRISE!!!!!!”everyone shouted when Zoey and Tristan were finally back to the packhouse.They made love all day long, laughing, crying, and loving every single moment spent together. Zoey was back. His old Zoey, the one who change him to the deep of his heart , transforming him from the cruelest and the most jerk werewolf the Crescent Moon Pack ever met in the righteous man he is today.Tristan owes Zoey his life. Just as he said it for so many times , he was a walking dead without her.So, returning to the packhouse , the all gang in front with Baby Z was waiting them for the surprise party in the middle of the living room.“ You two!!!!”Rose said pointing her finger in their direction. “but are we horny or not?” she asked them laughing her heart out while Nico covered her mouth, trying to stop her from talking non-senses in front of Baby Z, but Rose was a woman with a mission.“I hope that this day was a fruitful one and six month from now you will give me another B
I let Zoey guide me to the place she chose to take me and when we arrived there I almost stumbled on my steps. This is the place where she took me after I found out that Nico and rose are mates, so I could calm down. I came here alone so many times in the last three years, that I almost forget that it’s impossible for her to know this place after she lost her memories, so how is that she knows this place?She jumps from my back and place down the backpack she carried with food and a quilt and turning around she watches me intensely. I shift back in human form, being completely naked in front of her and she is watching me with passionate eyes, glowing, that make my head spin. It’s like she wants me. Like she needs me.She stops and watches me from head to toe, staring a little at my aroused cock and then she moves her eyes to my eyes.“I just love this place.” She whispers. “I missed it so much.”And now is now. I am in agony. To miss this place means that she remembers it. So what is
TWO MONTHS LATER.Tristan’s POV.“ It’s been two months Johan and there is no change in Zoey’s condition!” I growl at my pack’s doctor. I know it’s not his fault for this but I want her to remember me as her mate. I want her to recognize me. I know there won’t be only beautiful memories and I already confessed to her everything about our past. The best time together and the worst as same. I am not going to hide myself and present myself as her knight in shining armor. I was her nightmare too.I am done with playing. This is me.But all I want is for her to look into my eyes and tell me “ I see you, love. I know it’s you. “This is what I am so damned afraid. That we will be forever like this. I am fine with it, in the last two month she came around more and more every single day.I gave her time and space to accommodate to this new situation. At the beginning Baby Z slept with her in her room. I used to sneak in their bed in like a thief , when I was sure that both of them were aslee
Tristan’s POV.“Motherfucker!!!!” Mason growls growls at me as soon as I step outside of the elevator. “Bring her here!”Normally I would give my opponent a chance to explain himself, to stop me from killing him but here is not the case. All I want is Mason’s dead body at my feet. Nico and Jack evacuated the building, fooling the people who live here that it's a gas leak and they shut down the surveillance system so we could deal with Mason without causing us problems in human society.We are alone here and nothing will stop me now. I should have ended my business with this jerk a long time ago, when his father revealed his intentions. I was weak and that caused me to lose the love of my life for three years. But I am not anymore. There is no mercy for this scumbag!“I said to give her back…” Mason starts and that’s it.Viggo takes the lead and even if we are still in human form he jumps in the air, using my body and gives Mason a punch in his face, putting him down instantly.“SHE I
Zoey's POV.I try to push Tristan but he is holding me in his arms. All I want right now is to find Mason and kill him. How dare he steal my life? He is a psycho!“Will you calm down?” Tristan whispers in my ear but I am not in the mood to calm down. What if I wouldn’t meet Tristan and our daughter in the park? Would I ever have found out the truth? Would Mason have told me that somewhere in this world I have a child waiting for me at home?I am more than sure that he wouldn’t!And I have so much hatred in my heart right now that I feel like collapsing again. It’s hard to explain this.“Zoey, stop it!” Tristan tells me and he places two fingers under my chin and lifts it so I could look into his splendid blue eyes. Mason looks a lot like Robert Pattison and I never understood why I chose him as my husband. Since the first moment I opened my eyes from the coma there was nothing special about Mason. He is handsome and good looking but he does not making my heart skip a beat when I see
Zoey’s POV.The moment I opened my eyes I saw Tristan holding my phone in his hand and growling like an animal at someone.“You have half an hour to come here, or otherwise I will be hunting you, motherfucker, and believe me. You will dream to be dead when I finish with you!” and then our eyes met and all that anger, all those horrible emotions he was facing stopped and he smiled at me. He must be sick in his head or bipolar or something like that, because you can’t curse someone and in the next second give me that perfect genuine smile.I see him ending the call and coming in my direction and I am able to do it by backing into a corner of his sofa and holding my knees at my chest. I look around trying to find a way to escape from here, I am afraid even if deep inside my heart I feel secure with this man I just met yesterday.All his friends are around me watching me.Jesus, I need to find a way to run but while I am searching for an escape from behind a door opens and that sweet lit
Tristan didn’t close his eyes all night. It was the terrible fear that if he fell asleep when he woke up, Zoey would be gone. So he stared at the tiny woman who was still unconscious, sleeping soundly with her head on his chest. He wrapped his strong arms around her body, securing her , but at the same time on his right side Baby Z was sleeping too, hugging Zoey.Only late in the morning Zoey started to become alert that she was in a strange place. But do you know what was even more strange? The fact that she slept. Since she recovered from the coma she couldn’t sleep. Mason was giving her medicine , but there was something that was keeping her awake. Her brain was in pain every time she closed her eyes. Sometimes when she fell asleep for a few minutes horrible nightmares with wolves tearing her in pieces appeared in her mind.Images with her on the ground, with a baby crying close to her. Every single time she tried to sleep she lived that terrible dream again and again. BUt only if
Rose looks at Zoey a little bit taken aback and completely confused she turns her head in Tristan’s direction and asks him.“What the hell is going on, Tristan? What does she mean when she says that she doesn't know me?” and Rose hands were shaking because of her strong emotions.Tristan said nothing, but looking at Zoey he told her.“Zoey, meet my sister, Rose.” and giving her a genuine smile he started to explain to her the situation.“I am Tristan Mayer and you already met my daughter. Zara, whom I love to call Baby Z.”“Baby Z?” and there was something like a click in Zoey’s mind. She is sure that she heard this sweet name before. In her past life she knew Baby Z for sure.“And these two are Nicholas and Jack Costner. Nico is Rose’s husband and Jack his brother.”Zoey was overwhelmed. All this situation is strange and they are giving her a sense of familiarity hard to explain, but she feels a strong attraction towards them. Especially to Tristan and Baby Z. But while she was tryin
Tristan looked all over he might have seen her but there was nothing. He didn’t find Zoey.“I can feel her presence, man,” Viggo said. ”Call me crazy but I can feel it.”“Tristan!” Rose calls him and he turns around a little bit startled . “She is not here, maybe that lady was wrong.” and she takes Baby Z from his arms, trying to make him feel a little bit more comfortable.“Just think about it, man” Nico jumped to support Rose’s idea. “Why the hell would she live in Orlando? We are werewolves. We hate this heat. A werewolf would never choose this town as his residence town. So You were misled, man.”Tristan said nothing. Deep in his heart he knows that they might have right but…there is a damned big BUT. He felt her scent. How are they going to explain that?“Maybe we should return to our pack.” Jack says and he is serious because every time Tristan starts to think of Zoey things don't end well as he starts to be depressed.“We didn’t fly six hours to leave this place at the end of t
