Author’s POV.“Zoey,” Nana asked and held Zoey’s hand in her hand. “I am so sorry for not listening to you, for making you stay here. I realize now that we should have left a long time ago but I thought that things will change.”“It’s not your fault, Nana” Zoey says as she leans on her side and watches Nana. “It fate. I truly believe that no matter how much I run away from this fate , in the end I will need to face the same burden. I am paying for something I didn’t do. Maybe I am paying for my parent’s sins. Who the hell knows?”“Impossible” and Nana sits close to Zoey and places Zoey’s head in her lap, caressing her hair like a mother with her child.“You are the best human and werewolf I know, Zoey. “ and as soon as she said that someone knocked and before Nana could say something, Rosie was sticking her head out the door.“Hey, here you are.” and almost runs and jumps in Nana’s bed.“Are you sick?” she asks and starts to become scared as she realizes that Zoey is pale.It’s been
Zoey left Nana’s bedroom and even if her heart was unsure she made it clear that she will find Tristan and inform him that in six months they will have a pup together. She was hoping that this will give to both of them the peace they were looking for.“He will be so happy” Tilly exclaimed and her voice was joyful, thinking that this pregnancy will bring Tristan closer, and he'll surround her with affection, transforming in the end into the mate she was waiting since she was only a child.Zoey just sniffed the air, trying to find him, and not let herself to enjoy for nothing. She would lie if she won’t recognize the fact that after he marked her, she is longing for his presence. She has no idea how he succeeded to stay away from her, Tilly said that for him it will be even harder to do it. Yet he disappeared for three days.So she sniffs the air, and when she finds a trace of his scent she follows it until she reaches his office. He was here all this time? Did he sleep on that sofa in
“Shut up, Dana!” Tristan growled at her and tried to grab Zoey and pull her to his chest, but Zoey gave in and letting Tilly in control she transformed completely and ran inside Tristan’s office.Tristan thought that she was going to attack Dana, so he pulled Dana from Zoey’s direction and protected her, but this was not what Tilly was going to do.His action only made her even more hurt. He was protecting his wh ore.She jumped through his office’s window, breaking the glass and cutting herself she ran directly into the woods behind the packhouse, leaving everyone behind.“The pup” Zoey cried, while Tilly was running like crazy. “I am going to lose my pup.” This was the only thing that was important right now.“We are strong, Zoey,” Tilly said.” I will heal you, I promise, but I need to be as far away as possible or I am going to kill Dana Reynolds, and our cheater mate too. I get it now. I understand why you asked me to ignore the bond. He doesn’t care about us at all.’” and she con
Tristan’s POV.My heart sank in my chest seeing Zoey’s reaction. It is hard to explain as for me I never imagined that I would care about Zoey’s feelings, but here I am panicking about what she thinks about me. During the last three days I was depressed. I even started to regret that I marked Zoey. There is a continuous battle inside my mind about Zoey’s status.A part of me tells me to accept her rejection. To let her go and end this madness once for good, but that part is smaller and smaller every day I spend around Zoey. All the year I ignored her and our bond was washed out the moment I allowed her to return in my life. With every single tingle I felt, with every single spark that excited me I became addicted to her.This woman is my nightmare.I hate myself for longing for her. I hate myself for letting down my guard around her and letting her mess with my mind. This is not what I signed for. All I wanted was a pup, but I ended in this position, marking her and avoiding her for
Author's POV.“I am sorry, Alpha” the doctor said and Tristan closed his eyes and leaned his head back, barely refraining from screaming. His unborn pup was dead, and it was him who induced the mother of his pup into fatal pain. If Zoey survives he won’t be able to look into her eyes again.“ We need to bring her to the hospital,” the doctor continued. Here all I can do it to ask you if you want, because I know that you and Zoey Carter aren't on the best of terms right now, but if you want to save her and save the pup I need some blood from you. This will keep her alive and the pup too, until we reach the hospital.”“What did you say?” Tristan asks, perplexed.“If you don’t want to, I understand but I can’t guarantee that she will survive on the way back.” but he didn’t finish what he was saying because Tristan commanded him.“Take all my blood if it is needed, but save my pup. And doctor, do everything in your power to save her too. You know who she is and what she is to me, so trea
“How is she?” Tristan asks the doctor when he exits the ward where Zoey was sent after she received medical care.“We succeeded in making her shift back into human form, Alpha, but she is sleeping right now. We induced her into a false coma so she will rest properly. I am not going to lie to you. This doesn’t look good at all. The pup is still at risk.”“What about her?” Tristan asks. “Her life is still at risk?” and his heart was beating salwar and slower while he was waiting for an answer.“Yes.” and the doctor looked at him in disbelief. “I know that is not my business, Alpha, but why do you want her now? In the past you acted differently.” but Tristan raised his gaze and with a killing look he said.“You are right, it is not your business.” and he wanted to enter Zoey’s ward but the doctor asked him back.“If I am going to do the impossible to save her, I need to know that this is a long term decision. I am not going to fight for her if you are going to hurt her again. It's a loss
Next day in Zoey’s hospital ward Tristan was sitting next to her bed, on a chair and he was watching Zoey when the door suddenly opened and Nana showed up in a wheelchair, helped by a nurse.“I am taking it from here, thank you sweetie” Nana said to the nurse and motioned her to leave.Tristan got up, as if he was a child who got caught with his hand in the jar.“Nana, what are you doing here? You need to rest” he said in a soft voice , trying to help her to come closer, because he thought that she was here to see Zoey, but Nana squinted her eyes at him, and slapped his arm, she said.“You scoundrel!” and she was so pissed off that Tristan thought that she was going to have a heart attack. “Your Alpha balls are so tiny that you are afraid to face me? I asked you to come visit me!” she said, almost growling at him.Tristan avoided her because he knew that she would get angry, and even if he would kill whoever dares to talk to him like this, Nana is special so he let her act the way she
“But you can’t claim me!” Zoey yells in Tristan’s face after she succeeds to escape from his kisses.At the beginning she was lost in that sweet sensation, but when he started to caress her fragile body, she remembered AGAIN, everything he did.Julie Klausner once said that a woman’s memory is reliable at the risk of sounding like some sort of gorgeous two-headed monster with voices of Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck, and she thinks that women, like elephants , remember absolutely EVERYTHING!So don’t think that Zoey is holding grudges, beyond this is too much to forget and forgive relating to Tristan. And the last episode with Dana , probably pushed her over the edge.“Too late, princes, I already did it!” Tristan mocks her and Zoey looks at him in disbelief.“I rejected you, jerk!” and pushing him away she points her index finger in his direction , and with squinted eyes tells him.“Look, jerk…” and seeing that Tristan lifted an eyebrow when she said that, she composed herself like a go
