Zen’s POV

I looked at her, deadpan.

“I took them off.” I paused as if to let that sink in. I could hear her audible gasp. “Your clothes were dirty and soggy from the sweat—as if instinctively she turned to her right and stared at the towel at the top of her head—if you were heating up.

"Oh,” she whispered. She still had her hands on her chest.

I began to walk into the bathroom when I heard her speak.

She started speaking loudly, then her voice went low. “So where did you sleep? “she fiddled with a loose thread on the blanket. She was looking everywhere but at my face. My lips spread into a slow smile. She wasn’t going to give up on this, huh? As I stared at her, a devilish idea reared its head in my mind.

I smirked. “On the bed,” I said with no trace of humor on my face. This time she didn't only gasp; she clasped her hands to her mouth. The horror in her eyes, I bet, could be evident to the blind. Her eyes went wide, like a security guard’s flashlight. I fought the urge to laugh so m

    Zen’s POVDays turned to nights and nights. It’s been a week since I met Malia.She didn’t stop at just making me warm meals; she made me happy. When Michael began to notice me smiling absent-mindedly,.That evening, my phone buzzed with a message. It was from Hercules. I called him up.“Hey bro, what’s up?""Hi, donut head,” Hercules said, and I chuckled. It was the new name; he had been on it lately. "Do you want to come out for drinks? Michael is coming.”I looked at the clock. It was a sharp 7. It was the perfect time for an evening out.“Hell yeah,” I said.“I’ll meet you at the bar,” I added. So I went off the phone and began to look for a pair of jeans.“Malia!” I yelled."Yes, babe,” she replied.“Have you seen my jeans?” I yelled."Wait, I’m on my way,” she yelled back from the kitchen. She walked in with her hands on her butt. She dried off the remaining water from it.“I can’t find my trousers,” I said as I gestured to the mess I had just made in the drawer. She chuckled.“

    Michael’s POVToday was Zen’s bachelor party. He wasn’t in the building, so I and Hercules decided that it wouldn’t hurt to drink a few rounds without him. I hadn’t seen Nora since the incident. I mean, aside from the time I met her at the door. I didn’t know why I acted so coldly toward her, but that was how I felt. She shattered all my hopes of breaking the curse, and most importantly, she broke my heart."Have you seen her?” Hercules asked. I stared at him and took a sip of my drink."No,” I said sullenly.“That’s not good." Hercules commented. "Do you think she’s been spending some time with him?""Honestly, I don’t care,” I said, but Hercules looked at me in that kind of way that said,Liar, liar, pants on fire."Okay, I care. I sent out some guards to follow her around. All she does is visit that friend of hers,” I said, and Hercules smiled.“That’s better,” he said.We watched the people drink, and we didn’t say a word to each other.“So Herc…. What do you think I should do?” I

    Michael’s POVMy mouth made love to her mouth. She leaned in, and I savored every taste of her.Before I could open it, I felt a sharp sting on my cheeks.“How dare you!” Nora was seething in anger. I smiled.“Is that your own way of telling me that you liked it?” I smirked. She gasped and began to leave, but I heard her.“Let go off my arm, Michael,” she said in clenched teeth. I smiled. "No,” I simply said. She was surprised. Her eyes were wide and her breathing was uneven. I had my reason.“Michael I’m warning you for the last time; let go.” She glared at me, but that seemed to strengthen me up."Okay, I need to go; Malia will be looking for me,” she said. I had noticed that before Zen tied the knot with his wife, Nora and Malia were getting close. At first, I didn’t know what to think of their bond, but then Hercules pointed out the fact that maybe they were close because they were not from our pack. I agreed because, maybe, I often felt that Nora would be bored and lonely in my p

    Nora’s POVI went pale and all white. Michael couldn’t hold it in as he burst into fits of laughter. I frowned. He said I looked just like a petulant child.“What’s funny?” I asked, but he laughed even harder.“I’m leaving” I began to stand up, but when I realized that I was not wearing anything decent, I sat back. I turned to her, and immediately we both burst out laughing."You are a clown,” I said in between laughs. Finally, Michael handed me his shirt and ran out of his room. He would stop making whistling noises about how hot I was. As I showered, the memories from yesterday flooded my head, and I smiled sheepishly.“Stop that!” I face-palmed myself to behave. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door.“Michael!""Yes, it’s me. I was wondering if you would want to come to family dinner with me,” he said as he ran his hands on his hair. I smiled. "Yes, I want to,” I said.After the dinner, I asked him to come watch a movie with me in my room. He agreed.***************It was already

    Michael’s POVI woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and rustling leaves, like in the movies. I knew just right then and there that the day would be awesome. I noticed that the sun had not really come up, and if I should guess the time, it would be 5 a.m.-ish or 4:50 a.m.A slow smile spread on my face. With my eyes closed, I stretched out my hand to the other side of the bed, and I froze. My eyes flew up, and I realized that the bed was empty.Nora was gone. I sat up and looked around. My heart raced. Don’t behave like a little sissy, Michael; she did not run away.Okay, maybe she went to the bathroom. I laid back in bed and calmed my heart. As I waited, I began to think about the thrift between us.Was I being an asshole for not forgiving Jake? I know people changed, but Jake?I winced when I thought about letting Jake back in. It was just that I wasn't too sure he had turned a new leaf. I mean, I have seen him. Jake never changed. He was Judy so good at making people believe tha

    Claire’s POVThree days earlier.When Saturday approached, I woke up early and spent the morning getting ready for my date with Jake. I took extra care with my makeup, choosing a bold red lip and a smoky eye, and spent more time than usual on my hair.Suddenly, my phone began to ring. I reached down and checked."Mtcheeww, this stupid girl; she doesn’t know when to stop.” I rolled my eyes.Nora thinks that everything revolves around her. I put her number on a black list and continued getting ready.As I slipped into that V-neck black dress and grabbed my purse, I felt a thrill of excitement. This was going to be a special night; I could feel it. Jake said so too.When I arrived at his house, Jake was already waiting for me at the entrance. He looked handsome as ever, dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark pants.“Hey, you look stunning,” he said, smiling at me.I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks. “Thank you,” I said, feeling a little shy.Over dinner, we talked about everything and

    Jake’s POV I open my eyes and immediately realize I have company in my bed. I don’t sleep with Maria these days. It’s been a long time since she graced my bed. I had this strong urge to push whoever it was, and I immediately sat up. I stop midway when I see that ugly duck in my bed. I shut my eyes. “Anything for Nora,” I muttered. I eyed her form in bed, and I winced, shaking my head. A plain Jane with so much confidence. She might have to check her head if she thinks that I would pick her over Nora or even Maria. I stood up and went to the bathroom. On coming back, I realized that she had not yet moved. I badly wanted to kick. Who sleeps in on a Monday morning? She’s so dumb. No wonder nobody wants her. The only good thing about her was that she was a beast in bed. I glared at her, and suddenly her eyes flutter open. Immediately, I plastered a smile on my face. "Hey, apple pie.” I kissed her and immediately regretted it. “Hi baby,” she purred. “I need you to go over what we ta

    Nora’s POVPain.That was the last emotion I thought would cross my mind as I picked up my clothes from Michael’s room. He looked like a baby while he slept. Will he be hurt? Will he look for me? What will be his next line of action?Questions like these lined up in my head, but unfortunately, there were no answers. I was sure of my feelings towards him. I was sure I loved him, but the problem that kept bugging me was if Michael loved me too. But then I needed answers. I needed to see for myself the kind of person Jake was. I grabbed the key from the dresser and shoved it into my pockets. Part of the reason I was getting closer to Michael was to gain access to the keys to the pack house. He, Hercules, and the chief guards were the only ones with the keys. Michael was not just my safest bet; he was the only one.I took one last look at him before I left, and my heart couldn’t take it. I put on the bathroom tap, gently opened his door, and left for Dylan’s. Staring at my son's sleep got

    Nora’s POV6 days later.I was woken up by a pesky mosquito that wouldn’t stop screaming in my ear, no matter how I tried to swat it away sleepily. It was on my third attempt that I mistakenly smacked myself across the face. I felt an excruciating pain in my head.“Aargh!!!” I cried. It was then that I took in my environment. I recognized the room. I tried to move more, but I couldn’t. I realized there was an IV drip connected to my wrist."Guys, she’s up,” I heard someone say from outside of the room. Then they all come in. Malia, Zen, Hercules, and Mia. They had a huge grin on their faces.“Hi guys,” I smiled back. “Where is Michael?’’ I blurted. They all turned their gazes to the side, and there he was. Sleeping on a small cushion. He was a giant in that chair."Aww,” my heart melted. The girls chuckled as the guys laughed. I think that was what woke him up. He stirred around and was about to fall off the chair, but he caught himself. He peaked an eye open as he stared at everyone’

    Michael’s POVAll through the night, I felt like someone was calling out to me. My wolf was awakened. I had to do something to calm him down. I had to go towards where I heard that voice. I stood up and began to walk.“Where are you going?” Hercules turned to me. Someone was going into the underground house. The one we saw Zen go into last night.“I need to go in,” I said as I began pacing.“If you do, we would get caught. We still have no plans yet,” Hercules said. I nodded. He had a point, but the longer I stayed without going towards where my wolf was leading me, the more agitated I was. I kept pacing till I had it up to here."Okay, fuck this shit! I need to go inside. Now this is the plan. Once I go in and make sure the coast is clear, I howl out to you guys,” and with that, I left.The moment I walked into the house and found someone kicking Nora to the ground and trying to claw Dylan on the throat, anger rose to my head, and I lost it. I jumped in the air and immediately transi

    Nora’s POVThe first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a cat. It was staring intently at me, or rather, at me and Dylan. My heart began to race as I thought of what next to do. I wanted to scream, but then I remembered. I was not at home. I had been kidnapped. I stared at my lap, and there he was. Dylan. The son I thought I had lost. I fixed him properly on the carton we lay on and stretched my leg. When I turned back, the cat was gone. I breathed a sigh of relief. I wasn’t too sure of what the time was, but I think it was 4 a.m.ish. I was up, and I couldn’t sleep any more. So I stayed up, watching the sun rise from the little reflection of the sun in the small room.Sitting there, yesterday’s event rang fresh in my mind. I was this close to getting killed. I feared for my life and that of Dylan. Zen looked hell-bent on exacting his revenge on Michael. My eyes went to the door. What if he still tries to kill me again? What am I going to do? I sighed and began to bite my nails. Wha

    Mia’s POVThe next thing I know, I am being dragged out of the car, and the car zooms off. I turn my head around. No one was in sight. All I could see were trees and grasses. Tears began to well up in my eyes. Where am I? I stood up and limped to a corner. It was an abandoned building. I took shelter under it. Not wanting to go in, danger might be lurking, or you might stand outside the building for fear of being attacked. My legs were swollen. Partly because of my pregnancy and also because they made me walk half the way. I squinted. I saw no one. Just then, a car sped past me.Wait, was that Nora? Yes, that was Nora. Immediately, I began to jump.“Nora!” I ran after the car, and just before I rounded the corner, I bumped into someone.“Watch where—“wait a minute. I knew that smell came from somewhere. Hercules? I looked up, and it was him. I jumped on him, screaming and crying. Hercules kept wiping my tears. I tried to speak, but he put his hand on my lips.“It’s you. It’s really you

    Nora’s POVMy heart raced at the thought of what had just happened. I had been forcibly dragged into the backseat of a car, my screams muffled by a hand over my mouth. Panic surged through my veins, and my mind was a whirlwind of fear and confusion. I struggled against my captors, but their grip on me was firm."Let me go! Help! Someone, please!" I cried out, and my voice choked with terror. Oh no. This was all shades of wrong. And so go all our plans and what-ifs. Nothing matters now."Shut up, you little brat!" one of the kidnappers growled, his voice harsh and menacing. "You're coming with us, whether you like it or not."My eyes darted around the dimly lit interior of the car, searching desperately for a way to escape. But the windows were locked, and the doors were sealed shut. I felt trapped, helpless, and utterly alone. I wanted to cry, but I blinked back my tears. It was as if I had left all my courage and determination on the ground while being shoved into the car.As the car

    Nora’s POVImmediately, sleep vanished from my eyes. I blinked a couple of times before it all seemed so real.A letter for me.That could be the answer to my questions. My closure. Was my Dylan dead? Is this a torture letter? Maybe they have a picture of my dead son. Oh, Zen’s brother, you must hate Michael so much. So much that he had to hurt a child to drive home a point. My heart stomped in my chest. Maybe it would not be a good idea to open it yet.The letter trembled in my hands as I stared at it. I stared so long at it that it began to look like another object. I put the letter in my other hand as I rubbed the clammy, shaky one on my dress. Suddenly, everything had changed. The memories of the previous night with Michael.I looked from Michael to the letter. It might look like some piece of paper, but to me, it was as heavy as a rock. Was it blank like the last time, or does it mean my son is still alive? My Dylan.“I... I think I should open it." I looked at Michael. He nodded

I grabbed him.“Herc, be calm, please,” I said.“ What? Did you just hear her? She said she knows where Mia is!”“Please be calm, Herc. We will find Mia, I promise you,” and did my brother sit still? He glared at the Eleanor girl. She ducked. I told her to stand aside.“Tell me what you know," I said. She looked scared.“Some days ago, I saw Nyla leave the pack.”“Nyla?” I asked, and she nodded.I always knew that girl had something to hide. “Go on!"“She was headed towards the side of the white oak forest. I told Luna... I mean Miss Nora. Then, later, after the attack, when we were saved, she was angry. I decided to follow her. It was there I saw Zen.” My eyes widened.“You did?” she nodded.“Are you sure? Did you take pictures?” She shook her head, and all my hopes fell.“Then, your highness, I had told Miss Mia abo

My blood began to boil.“Everybody out!” I barked. All the guards scramble, like little children, out of the house. Hercules stood with his hands on his hips, and he sighed deeply. Then he ran his hand over his hair.One word. Frustration.“hey Hercules” I tried to touch him, but he slapped my hands away. “I mean it, Michael. Don't touch me!” He pushed me aside.Oh hell, naw.I grabbed him by his hands and landed a blow on him. He fell to the floor. He struggled to stand, and when he did, he checked his nose. There’sblood running.“Has it kicked in yet?” I asked. I am not prepared for what Hercules does next. He grabbed a chair and broke it on my back. The broken chair falls
