Zoey's POVWhere am I? I sit up and realize I've never been here before. I'm sitting in a field of flowers and all the pain is gone. Am I dead? Is this heaven? If it is, I'm staying. It's the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. Flowers and trees as far as I can see. Nothing else in sight. The sun is shining bright in the blue sky, I just lay down and enjoy the quiet. No one yelling at me, no one hitting me, just pure quiet. I feel myself drifting when I hear the most beautiful voice. "Zoey, are you gonna lay there all day or are you gonna take a walk with me?" Shooting up I open my eyes and see a woman standing there. Long flowy white dress, Beautiful long blonde hair, down past her waist. Striking, green eyes staring at me and then she giggles! "Who are you?" I ask as she is just laughing. Laughing at me? "What are you laughing at?" I snap. Who was this woman and why am I here alone with her? "Considering all the times we spoke, I thought you would know who I am." I must ha
Zoey's POV The flowers and trees were slowly changing into grass and statues. I pulled my arm from hers, and just as I was about to ask AGAIN where I was or what was happening; she cut me off. "Zoey, I know there's questions you have, but we can't waste anymore time. You don't have much longer here." she slowly turned away and walked to a huge fountain and sat on the edge. Where did that come from? She gestures for me to have a seat so I walked over and sat next to her. The sun was setting and the water was glowing blue. I was in awe but also scared at what was gonna come next. She took a deep breath and began, "There is so much I want to tell you but I can't. However I can show you. She turned in her spot and placed her finger to the water and it slowly started to come up and formed into what appeared to be a mirror. "You life has never been easy, yet your heart has never given up, even without shifting. You think you weren't gifted with a wolf but that's not true. I was waiting f
Blake's POVIt has been over a week now and she still hasn't woken up. Although her wounds were healing and she's starting to look like herself again, she still wasn't coming too. The doctor said he doesn't know why she's still unconscious, he doesn't know when she'll awaken. The poor girl, I knew I should have helped her long ago, but I didn't want to overstep the Alpha. Kyle has been more of a dick lately and I can't understand why. With Zoey not there to be his punching bag I guess he can't let out his anger. . . . .With everyone getting ready for the Alpha meeting that we were about to host, it seems they all forgot about Zoey. Except the maids that had to take over her duties. I can hear them in the kitchen bitching every morning. If things don't start changing around here I'll end up leaving. This has become my home, so it's the last thing I want but I can't stand the way they treat their pack members any longer. Time to have a little chat with Alpha Kyle. Walking up to his of
Zoeys POV Falling into the darkness, I wonder what all she meant because I didn't understand half of what she said. Zara, who's Zara? "Me Zoey, nice to finally meet you." This voixe was coming from inside my head. "Zara who are you?" I asked not understanding why I could hear her in my head. "I'm your wolf, Im now part of you, we are two in one." she answered. Well that makes sence I guess..... I see a light coming at me fast. Well if I wasn't dead I will after I smash into the bottom. Suddenly all I feel is pain, everywhere all over my body. "Zoey it's because your back in your body, it's time to wake up now." Zarah said. Slowly, waking up, blinking my eyes, trying to adjust to light I take a look around. Why am I in the pack hosital, I wonder. The memories start coming back. Being attacked, meeting the Moon Goddess herself and Zara. "Zara can you hear me, are you there?" I ask her, but get no response. Sitting up slowly because of the pain, the door opens. The pack
Blake's POV I was in my room packing when the pack doctor mind linked me. "She's awake and alert Beta." that I was not exoecting. I stopped what I was doing and told him I was on my way. Took my about 5 mintues to walk to the pack hospital. It was pretty much right next door to the pack house. Everyone greeted me when I walked in, just ignored them. I needed to talk to Zoey while she was awake. Arriving at her door, I took a breath breath and knocked. "It's open." came her voice from the other side. Here goes nothing. When I opened the door she was sitting propped up on a mound of pillows and eating jello. Couldn't help but to chuckle to myself. She gave me a werid look when I pulled up a chair beside her and sat down. "I have a few things to talk to you about, now that your awake." I said. She tilted her head to the side as if telling me to go on. "Now for starters, the night you were attacked. Do you remember anything about it?" She seemed to think for a moment befo
Zoey's POV "And then nothing after that, I woke up here." Blake sat there quietly and listened to me tell the events of that night and didn;t say a word. I always liked him. He was the only person in this pack that ever treated me like more then a slave. Everyone hates me because Kyle convinced them I had something to do with the attack that killed half the pack. I didn't though, I was merely a orphaned child who stumbled across the wrong land, at the wrong time. He sat there staring at me, not saying a word. His brown hair hanging in his green eyes. I had to admit he was good looking. "I have a question for you Zoey." he said. "I"m leaving within a week, and I know you've wanted to leave for awhile, I was thinking that maybe you could come with me." I was not expecting him to say that. I didn't even know how to respond to that. Of course i wanted to leave, but to where? "Where are you going?" He said he was going pack to his old pack. Now tell me why I didn't even think of t
Three days later, I was finally being realeased. I was in the bathroom connected to my room, changing out of this stupid hospital gown when I looked into the mirror. Staring at myself I realzied I looked differnt but not in a bad way. My raven dark hair looked more alive and brighter then ever before. My green eyes were popping against my pale skin. My usually bruised arms and face were completely clear. For the first time since I can remember, I looked decent. Not anywhere near beautiful like a normal she-wolf but diffently better then I normally did. Throwing on the shorts and tank top that Blake had brought me the day before, I walked out and threw the hospital gown into a can by the door. A knock at the door grabbed my attention. Answering it Blake was standing there with wheelchair. "What the hell do you plan on doing with that?" I know damn well he did not plan on putting me in there. "The doctor and I have decided it would be best if we fake your recovery. Have you stay hiddd
Blake's POV We had just stepped foot out of the hospital doors, when I noticed Zoey was crying. "Hey now what's wrong?" I ask. I don't have a clue what just happened. She was completely fine and now shes sobbing. Like really sobbing. She shakes her head and doesn't answer me. I mean i guess if she ain't gonna talk to me I ought to just take her home. The walk didn't take long at all but i realized Zoey couldn't stop her head from moving. Trying to look everywhere at once. "What's up with you, your actting strange?' I can see her wipe her tears away before she turns and looks at me. Well not at me move like at my chest, for some reason she won't ever meet my eyes. She took a breath deep and said "I can't remember the last night I've been outside during the day. I can't remember the last time I've felt sunlight on my skin." Well that would explain the sobs. I dont say anything just start walking slower as I make our way to the house. Once inside i push her to her room, or I should
Blake's POV After getting ready for Zoeys surprise party, Pasiley just told us about it. I walk into the foyer, noticing I'm the only one here. Joey comes down not too much later, matching me in a black tux, with a white button-up underneath the jacket, which he closed. I decided to leave my open. He walks up to me, wiggling his brows. "You ready for tonight bro, you know there is bound to be a bunch of mateless she wolfs." Rolling my eyes, I don't even reply. He knows how I feel about touching another she wolf before I find my mate. It ain't happening. I'm saving myself for her and her only. I don't even reply, and I just turn towards the elevator when I hear it ping. The doors open to reveal dad standing there in a black tux also, except he paired his with a matching black tie. He steps over and grabs both our shoulders. "Boys this is a very important night for Zo, and I don't want either one of you fucking it up. You both best be on your best behavior." Rol
Blakes POV Pay grabs my elbow and tells me that since Zoey has Uncle Mike to escort her to the party, I could be Pays escort. All four of us walk outside in the afternoon soon sun and see a huge black hummer limo sitting in the drive way with 2 men standing beside the back door. Has we begin walking down the front steps into the drive one man who I now see is Andrew, one of the pack warriors opens the door. His partner Liam, is also one of the pack warriors. I'm assuming this was also Pay's doing. I don't know how this girl can plan a party this quick but she did. With all the bells and whistles. From the decor inside, to the food, the clothes, and now the limo that is being driven by two pack warrios. I can only imahine how this venue is going to look. Not nearly has good as Zoey looks, that's for sure. I knew she was beautiful, but having seeing her cleaned up and dressed up for the first time ever. I could see
Seems like hours later that Pay told me I could get up to see how I look.All three ladies were working on me at once to get it done faster. The nail tech even put my shoes on after she was done with my pedi. Standing up, I almost fall over. Never having worn heels before, I didn't exactly know how to walk in them. Pay gives me a hand and helps me catch my balance. "Don't worry, babe. You'll get it in no time. Let's have a looky Lou real quick, then you can walk around the room while I get touched up." "I don't think I'll ever get used to this. These things are huge, Pay. Did you have to go for the tallest pair?" Looking down at the gold heels, I realize they might actually only be about 2 inches tall. Looking up at her, I just shrug my shoulders. They felt tall, ok. She stops just before the floor-length mirror in my closet. "You look absolutely amazing Zoey, if you dare mess up anything we just did, I will kick your ass. Now take a deep breath and have a look." She steps as
Standing in my closet, I look at myself in the mirror. I honestly can't believe that she would even remotely think I would wear this dress out in public. I shake my head while pulling the dress off. Laying it back across the island. I pull the red dress on, stepping over to the mirror to take a look. Oh my God..."That's it, that's the dress. Zoey, you're wearing that one for sure." Zara popped out of nowhere, saying. Apparently, she loves this dress as much as me. Looking at the mirror , I'm still completely blown away. It has one strap only, hanging off my right shoulder, not a deep neckline, just a decent amount of cleveage. A slit that stops mid thigh, again not too much skin. I turn around to admire the back, and it's open from my neckline all the way to the top of my butt. To be honest, I even like that. Taking a deep breath, I decided to show Paisley since I could hear her in my bedroom, making as much noise as possible. Like I wasn't coming back. Opening the door, I step
Sitting down at the bar, I decided to at least enjoy this food. grabbing a little bit of everything, I start munching. Blake and Pay are talking about Saturday and what's left to plan there, etc. All while I'm sitting quietly, stuffing my face. I know I'm looking like a fool. When I finish I put my plate in the sink and decide to find the head trainer to get my laps out of the way so I didn't have to do it tomorrow after training, but Pay stopped me. "Um, excuse me? Where do you think you're going? You need to change before we do anything!" Looking down at my outfit, I ask, "What's wrong with this? I missed training and am heading over there to start my laps." Pay gets up from her stool, grabs my hand, and starts pulling me out of the kitchen. "Actually, you don't have laps. It's your birthday. You get the morning off. Besides, I have a ton of stuff planned today, and you need to change into appropriate attire." Plans? "Appropriate attire? To do what exactly?" I ask while follo
Beep...Beep....Beep....Rolling over in bed, I slam my hand around on the bedside table until I find the alarm and hit the off button. Well today is finally here, my birthday. I can officially find my mate today. I couldn't dread it anymore then I do. God, I hope I don't find him today, I don't need all that right now. my life is just getting good. Rolling over in bed I snuggle under the covers, I wonder how much trouble I would be in if I skipped training today. I never skip training so it shouldn't be too much. I do everything I'm asked and more. Besides it's my birthday. My bed just feels too good to leave. Yep! I'm going back to bed, the most that could happen is having to run extra. Plus I know Paisley is planning something so I'll need the extra rest to deal with whatever it is. Totally worth it. I'm going to sleep in today. *. *. * Come eleven a.m. I'm awake, turning the shower on. I figured I might as well. get completely dressed and ready for today. Coming downs
Zoey's POV Training kicked my ass today, with being late and having to run the extra miles. I had just finished and was walking to pack house to shower when I seen Paisley walking into house. She was with about four other people, they were all carrying bags and boxes of stuff. Damn that girl really knew how to shop. I started walking slower in the hops that I wouldn't be dragged into helping carry her shit inside. I was just to tired, plus needing a shower and food. God I was hungry, AGAIN! After they all went inside, I gave it another minute, then went it. Being as quite as I could I made my way upstairs to my room. God these stairs sucked, but I didn't want to use the elevator, it was loud when you're trying to sneak in. Walking into my room, i starting ripping off these soaking wet clothes, making my way to the bathroom. I turned the cold water on and stepped into it. The heat was about to kill me. I wonder why no one ever talks about all this when your getting ready to
Blake's POV Tomorrow? Was she serious? No wonder she ate that plate in under a couple mintues. She honestly told me not to tell Paisley too? They've become best friends, there is no way I can keep this from her. She would literally kill me. She has been waiting her whole life for her eight-teenth birthday, to be able to find her mate, to live happily ever after. Like a fairy taile in a story book. Then, to top it off, we have the ball this Saturday for unmated wolves. I have this inky feeling that she won't want to go either. Yup, need to tell Paisley so she can plan a little something for Zoey, plus help her find a dress for Saturday. We can go together if anything. I mind link Pay and tell her to meet me at the packhouse sortly, that I have some news she would be very interested in hearing in person. Within ten mintues, she busting in the door as I am finishing up the dishes. We have house keepers but I do my fair share of cleaning up after myself. "Where you at Blake
Zoeys POVI wake up Wednesday morning at five am. Training starts at six so I still need a shower, before I can think about breakfast. For some reason it seems like I can never stop eating. After a quick shower to wake me up. I put on a black sports bra and matching spandex shorts. I tie my hair up in a high pony and slip on my Nike's. I jog downstairs to the kitchen, almost running into Blake rounding the coner. He saves me from falling by gripping my shoulders. "Wow there killer, slow down. Where are you off to in a hurry?""Oh, sorry. Training starts at six. It's five-fourty five now. I'm starving and need breakfast before getting my ass kicked."Laughing he pushes me to one of the bar stools. He sits me down then grabs a plate and pushes it infront of me. Oh hell yeah, bacon, runny eggs, toast, hashbrowns. I'm in heaven!I smile and start breathing in my food. "Damn Zoey, if you were that hungry, you should have been down here sooner." He's staring at me. Great.I swallow,
