Nina sat on a stool in front of the mirror. She pushed her hair to one side of her shoulder to expose her neck, so she could see Ezra's mark that was beginning to form. She felt strange that she was now marked. When she was younger, she thought she would be marked by her mate. Then after finding him, and with everything that happened with him, she thought she was never going to be marked again. But here she was, wearing Ezra's mark, and she didn't hate it at all.She jolted when she felt a soft skin pressed on her neck. Ezra! She didn't notice his presence until she felt his lips on her skin, the exact spot he had marked her. It had become so sensitive, it sent an electrifying feeling down her spine."Good morning, baby girl." He kissed his mark again, nibbling on it a little, drawing a satisfied sigh from her."Good morning, Alpha." She greeted back, her eyes closed, enjoying the feel of his lips on her skin."I thought we are past that now. No?" He asked, not liking the formal way w
"Ezra, what is this I hear? You asked Axel to abduct me? It seems you have grown too tall, you have forgotten who birthed you." Michelle yelled as she stepped into the pack house and met Ezra. He was just on his way out."I am sorry mom, but I need you safe.""Couldn't you call?" She yelled again."I know you mom. You will not agree to stay in the pack house for long."Michelle frowned when she realized something. "Don't tell me that I will not be allowed to go out.""You will, but you will not be allowed to go near our boundaries. Plus you will be guarded."She suddenly knocked his head, having to get on her toes. "I am not a weak woman."Ezra chuckled, rubbing on the part she knocked. "I know mom. I will see you later." He placed a kiss on her forehead, and walked past her."Ezra! Come back here." Ezra waved his hand to her instead. "Where's Nina?""She's with Claire."'Is she marked yet?''Ask her when you see her.'Michelle scoffed. She then ignored him and went into the house.__
Nina and Claire stayed together till it was late. All the while, Nina couldn't stop herself from thinking about Ezra and wondering where he was, and worrying for his safety. "They are here." Claire declared suddenly, as she sensed Axel's presence. She immediately broke into a smile and she excused herself from Nina to go meet Axel. Nina always found it so funny how she always get so hyped just by the mere presence of her mate. She wondered if they were recently mated, because only newly mated wolves act that way. She wanted to follow after her to see Ezra, but she decided to wait. He was going to come inside anyway. A short while later, she saw Axel and Claire coming back inside. As usual, he had his hand wrapped around her waist, and she was all over him. They didn't care the least who was watching. The omegas even seemed used to them. "Good evening Luna. How did your day go?" Axel asked as they approached her. "It was lovely. I had Claire to keep me company." He thinned his l
Nina opened her eyes the next morning, and she was surprised to meet Ezra's gaze, staring right back at her. She smiled."Good morning.""Good morning baby girl." He husked in a sleepy voice, and she felt her heart flutter. "Did you sleep well?"She nodded."I forgot to tell you last night. A girl named Keisha came visiting yesterday. Claire said she is Alpha Pascal's daughter. She was looking for you, concerning the issues of rogues."She remembered Claire telling her that Ezra once had an affair with her, and it made her sick to the stomach. She watched his reaction."Oh, where is she now?" He asked casually."After waiting for almost the whole day, she asked to sleep here, but your mother denied her. I think she went to Elder Paul's house.""Did she cause you any trouble?"Nina shook her head. "Not yet." She then turned away from him.Ezra noticed her reaction, and he could only think of one thing. She found out about his affair with Keisha. "Nina?" He called, gently tapping her a
Ezra was dressing up behind the closet, while Nina still sat on the bed. He had only put on his briefs when he decided to torture her."Nina, come."She stood up and walked over to him."Help me dress up."Her eyes widened slightly, as she had not expected it. Then she sighed."You don't have any clothes out.""I will wear anything you choose." He couldn't help but enjoy the slight changes in her expression. He was playing on her innocence, and he found her very interesting. He noticed how her gaze darted about from his face to his chest, and then his stomach. "You can touch me if you want." He teased.A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She didn't say anything, instead she went to focus on her task of looking for clothes for him. She came back with a navy blue T-shirt, and a pair of trousers."You are going to wear your trousers yourself." She stated, and he shook his head."No. I want you to do it.""No.""I wasn't asking. I even suggest that we start with it." He said, gesturing
When Ezra came back that night, he went to find Nina. Apparently, Claire had already alerted him about the letter. He took her to his office."May I see the letter?""It's in our room." Nina responded."What does it contain?"She looked down, a little embarrassed at what she was going to tell him. She then sighed and looked at him again. "My father wants me to collect money from you."His eyes widened in surprise. "Money from me? For what? Does he want you to steal from me?""No. He wants me to manipulate you, until you give me the money yourself. Then I would give it to him. I believe he wants to use it in repaying his debts.""His debts?" Ezra was completely flabbergasted. He was almost driven speechless. His lips opened and closed as though he couldn't find the right words to express himself.He stared at Nina who was standing in front of the table he was sitting. He could already guess the thoughts running through her mind. She probably thought that he would believe she was there
It had been three days since the Luna ceremony. The rogues still remained in the borders. Nina didn't hear from her father. Everything had been going smoothly with the pack and the people residing there. The only thing that seemed to be a problem was that Alpha Jake sent Ezra a mail again two days, asking him to give up his mate. Axel asked Ezra to ignore him for the time being.But that morning before Nina and Ezra came down for breakfast, Axel came knocking on their door. "I wonder if it is a good or bad news this time." Ezra stated, already knowing that it was Axel."Let's hope it's good." Nina said.Ezra got up and went to open the door for Axel."Good morning Alpha. I have some unpleasant news.""Why do you keep bringing unpleasant news nowadays?""Unfortunately, I don't control the happenings. Alpha Pascal's daughter, Keisha had been spotted twice with Alpha Jake. I also believe that they would have met more times than that more discreetly. They even seemed to be very discreet
When Ezra came back, he sent some soldiers to the Spring snow's pack, while doubling the ones around his borders and in the pack. He had assisted the Spring Snow's pack as they had always been allies, together with a few other packs. Refusing them help in their time of need for no apparent reason was not an option. Besides there was really nothing to lose.But that night, there was no attack as anticipated, both in the Spring snow's pack and in the Night howler's pack. Ezra knew that they really need to find their leader to at least know the motive of the rogues.He stayed up all night, together with Axel, Daniel and some ranking members in the pack in preparation for the attack only for it not to come. Early the next morning, he went to bed.When he woke up that day, he was surprised to find Nina seated on the side of the bed. There was a small stool with a covered glass. The smell of brewed tea wafted into his nostrils. He quickly sat up."You stayed up all night." She stated, and he
