last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

After my sudden statement, Zion had been shocked enough to let me go so I flew out of the bed and began pacing the room. I was on the verge of bursting into tears because of the emotions that were flooding me all at once. Pain, heartbreak, anger, relief, it was all too much.

“You don't mean that” Zion spoke softly as if he was afraid of something.

“You know I do. I have a lot of reasons to not hate you” he winced at my words

“You are trying to hurt me intently” he pointed out

“You were the one who kept me on edge for the entire week” I finally yelled out “no contact what so ever. You can't deny that you didn't feel it. It was your way of punishing me” I snapped. The urge to make him hurt was slowly growing past the relief I had that he was fine and here with me

“It wasn't on purpose”

“The hell it wasn't” I yelled

“Calm down” He ordered but it only made me furious. “Let me explain” he added when he saw I was in no mood for whatever he had in mind

    I knew they were trying hard not to be obvious but it was nearly impossible not to notice all the staring and shocked expressions the pack members were throwing our way. I know it was a rare occurrence but I still felt they should have been more subtle in their gazes.I walked hand in hand with Zion down the hallway. When he woke up again, it was almost dawn. I thought to go back to my room and give him some space but he suddenly declared that he was too tired and bored of laying in one place so he decided that he wanted to train.“Are you crazy? You're still recovering” I had yelled out at him but he just smiled and kissed me on the forehead before disappearing into the closet and coming out dressed in sweats and a shirt. “Zion, I don't think you should train now. Besides it's already late. Can't you wait till tomorrow?” I tried to dissuade him but he wasn't having it“Come with me” he said instead, disregarding my previous statement and I almost screamed in frustration“I'm telling

    I honestly need to stop getting my heat at night. It was barely 3 am when I sat upright on my bed and not because I wanted to but because of my heat. The sudden pain wrenched me from sleep and had me grabbing the sheets as pain attacked my abdomen. It was a familiar yet unwelcome feeling as my palms became clammy with sweat and waves of pain kept coming without giving me any breaksA small whimper escaped my lips and my body trembled as the pain got worse with each passing minute. Through the endless waves of pain, I managed to block my mind link so Zion didn’t know. I didn’t want him to barrel into my room because I knew he would. He had insisted we move in together but I had to make him understand that we need to take things slow so that I’m not pushed back to the beginning. He was my mate and I didn’t want to keep holding the slaughter of my pack against him especially when I didn’t know the full story but my family had told me to move on and be happy. I needed them to Rest In Peac

    His eyes searched mine for permission as his hands laid unmoving on the dress sitting on my waist. My wolf was howling in contentment and I bit my lips hard before nodding my head in approval. I gasped as he pulled down the night wear and my panties in one take. I tried to press my legs together as I was now bare and exposed to him. My legs trembled in anticipation as he kissed his way down from my neck until he took one breast in his mouth. I screamed in ecstasy as he bit my sensitive nipples while his other hands twiddled the other. He alternated between each breast, sucking, licking and biting and I was a moaning mess underneath him.He made his way down until he was between my legs “What are you doing?” I asked when he began to lift one of my legs over his shoulders making me exposed to him. My core clenched with the sudden attention it was being given.“Shhh. I just want to feast on you” He took a big sniff of my pussy and groaned in delight “you smell so good sweetheart. Look

    My eyes flies open and I shoot upwards in bed. The first thing I notice is I'm naked but the covers which were up to my neck slides down slowly and pool around my waist leaving me exposed. I grab the sheets quickly and wrap them around my chest. My eyes dance lazily around the room but there was no sight of Zion. Memories of last night rushes to my heat and my face heats up as the intimate moments replays in my head. We've completed the bond now and I can feel it buzzing through my entire being.I can feel Zion as if he were on me. It feels like we are one person. I was aware of the shower running in the bathroom and my body tingle with awareness. He is still here. I thought he was going to leave after last night but he didn't.“You are awake” Zion’s voice brings me out of my thoughts and I look up to see him coming out from the bathroom. He had a dark blue robe wrapped around his large frame. His wet hair fell to his face almost covering his eyes. I remember clutching his hair so ti

    I found Emily and the girls not long a couple of minutes after Zion left. The moment I left my room, I could see the surprise on the pack members’ faces which later morphed into wide grins as they realized my scent had changed.“You are glowing” Elene squealed playfully when I walked into the room“That's what a completed mate bond does” Lily said with a smile“She’ll also feel more calm now. Am I lying?” Emily asked softly with a warm smile when I took a seat beside them “I don't know” I laughed “Zion asked me yesterday if there was anything he could do for you and I told him to complete the mate bond. I didn't actually think you would allow it. I'm happy for you Genny, you deserve to find your own happiness” A retort was on the edge of my tongue but I bit down on my lips to stop it.“I bet the entire pack will be pleasantly surprised when they smell your new scent” Lily exclaimed excitedly “They already did babe. I passed a lot of them coming here and I bet the news is already ov

    I've been falling asleep in Zion’s arms way more often than I would have liked not that I was complaining. He came to my room every night after his long day and I always open my arms for him to fall into. I would hold him with his head on my chest and we'll both fall asleep immediately or after doing some extra night activities that will leave me sated and in bliss. We usually woke up together or me before we went after our day but today was different.I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night a little disoriented. I looked around confused, wondering why I was awake. I clean my eyes with the back of my palms to wipe the blurriness from the sleep to look around the room.I tried to think if it was a nightmare that startled me awake but something from the corner of my eye caught my attention. Zion’s side of the bed was empty. I touched the indented area and it was still very warm which meant, he just got up. I listened to see if he was in the bathroom but he wasn't and my body was o

    I've been watching Zion now since that night when I followed him into the forest. Even on nights we don't sleep together, I wake up and stand by my window until I see him leaving. I've thought about it but I can't come up with a good plan on how to go past the guards “Earth to Geneva” Isaac snapped his fingers in front of me. “Sorry” I mumbled before dropping to the floor and crossing my legs“You are distracted today. What are you thinking about?” Isaac asks, taking a seat beside me on the floorWe were supposed to be training but I've been distracted all morning and now he was frustrated with my lack of concentration. “Nothing. Let's try that again” I moved to stand up but he grab my hand and pull me back“No. At least not until you tell me what's on your mind. It didn't look like nothing. I've dropped you seven times in less than thirty minutes” he argued“If I tell you, you won't go to Zion?” I have never sat down to talk about anything serious with Isaac so telling him this ma

    “Come in” Zion called from the other side of the door and I push it open. I decided to take their advice and confront him myself. This was risky because he might end up not telling me and move whatever he was hiding before I could find out but I could no longer act as though I didn't care because curiosity was killing me.“Hey sweetheart, do you need anything?” Zion stands up from his seat and walks around the table to place a kiss on my lips and forehead before drawing me into his arms “Definitely not your kisses or hug” I laugh when he only squeezes me tighter instead of giving me a reply. “You need it sweetheart” I pull away from him to flick him on his forehead “Stop being a brat” I muse“Fine. What do you want? Is something wrong with you?” “No, I'm fine” I push past him to take a seat because somehow, I feel I need to sit to discuss this.“Something’s wrong?” He drags the chair beside me so it was now facing me before sitting on it. “I don't know what to think so I'm askin

    THREE YEARS LATER...I was taking a walk through the garden towards the back of the pack house because my feet hurt and I needed to visit Ethan. It was swollen and Elena advised that I took as many walks as I could to alleviate the pain.I was due to give birth any moment from now and was not supposed to wander too far from the pack house but Elaine was with me.“Mom, are you okay? Do you need to sit for a minute?” He asked worriedly as I wobbled for a minute.“No, I’m fine. I need to stop sitting down every time.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me.When we got to where Ethan was buried, Elaine wandered off with Indigo leaving me alone. There was a chair beside the grave from the last time I visited.“Hey, Ethan. I came to say goodbye. I’m going to have a baby soon and I’ve decided to let go of my past, including you. I should have listened to Zion about not burying you here in the pack house but then I was desperate and wanted to hold on to the only family

    My head was spinning. I didn’t want to believe the person looking back at me with so much hatred was Ethan. My brother who I thought was dead. No, Ethan can’t be alive.“Ethan? How is this possible? How are you alive?” I was losing my breath and Zion rushed over to my side to pick me up “I saw you die” I screamed.I saw Indigo tense on top of him and my eyes finds her claws on his neck, ready to rip it out if he even tried to move.“Indigo, stop it” I yelled, running towards her to push her off him “Let him go, he is not a threat” I cried out but she didn’t move. She saw him as a threat and she was not going to let him go.“Zion, tell her to get off him. She is going to hurt him” I ran to his side.“Geneva, please calm down and examine the situation. He is here with that woman. I think he is the one that has been trying to kill you all this time”“What are you saying? He is my brother, Zion. He would never try to harm me.

    I pushed my food around in my plate, unable to eat a single bite. My insides were still trembling after the visit to Astrid. I know she told me not to worry but I couldn’t help but think of the part where she said the person had decided to finish what he started and very soon.I wasn’t ready at all. I know early I kind of boasted about my fighting skills but I was terrified. It felt like my insides were twisted in a painful manner and I couldn’t breathe well.“Genny” Lily called and I looked up from my plate to meet her concerned gaze “What’s wrong? Are you still thinking of what Astrid said?”I tried to smile at her but it came out as a grimace instead. We were having dinner in the pack kitchen and I could not find it in me to join in their little discussions.“Don’t worry about a thing. You have all of us, we would never let anything happen to you” Lily reached out to give my hand a little squeeze.“She is right, Gen. We will protect you. Have you forgotten we are the most powerful

    `I clung to Zion’s arms as we walked towards Astrid’s hut. Indigo ran ahead of us as though she knew exactly where we were going. I was still shaken by the incident earlier and it made me so scared that the person who was trying to kill me had gotten so close without anyone noticing. We aren’t safe at all.Before we left, Zion had ordered for some warriors to be stationed outside our door but I refused. It would be too overwhelming to see them guarding the door. It was like a constant reminder that I wasn’t safe. We had argued about it but he finally relented and allowed me to have my way.I was no longer the weak girl that was taken from my pack. I was stronger and a better fighter. I wanted to believe that I would be able to take care of myself in case anything happened even though I hoped nothing would happen.I hoped that Astrid had some answers for us. She had been searching for answers on the poison that was used for so long and I was already close to giving up hope that she wou

    It’s been just a few hours since Zion left with Elaine, leaving just me and Indigo in the house but she had already grown on me. It didn’t help that she kept trailing behind me wherever I went and it was funny. If I got out of her sight for a minute, she would come barrelling through the house, sniffing everywhere to know where I was. I looked behind at my new shadow where she laid sprawled on the kitchen floor as I did the dishes. I had to take her to Elena this morning so I missed out on training with Isaac so I could get a few things done before I took her to the pack clinic. “Are you going to follow me into the bathroom when it’s time for me to take a bath? Zion would kill you before that happen” I said playfully with a chuckle. I arranged the dishes into the racks and headed to my room so I could take a shower. When I entered the bathroom, Indigo attempted to follow me but I stopped her before she could get into the bathroom.“No, No, No, where do you think you are going? Sit”

    I blinked open and felt a heavy weight on my chest. I looked down and shrieked in surprise to see the panther, Indigo laying on me and purring softly. I scrambled to the end of the bed in shock but the panther didn’t move from the spot and gave me a bored look before resting on its paws.I looked around the room and saw Elaine sitting on the floor beside the bed and he was busy playing with her tail and giggling.“You are so silly, Mummy. Indigo won’t hurt you. She is a good girl” He said and purred the animal who purred in response and even licked Elaine’s hand and he burst into another fit of giggles.“Stop, indie, it tickles”I sat back down hesitantly and looked at the animal who seemed to be better. It seems whatever Elena gave it was successful in helping it recover quickly but that didn’t explain why it was on my bed, on me.“Zion” I called out “Where is your daddy, baby?”“He is making breakfast in the kitchen” Elaine said happily and I understood why. We were used the kitchen

    We were having dinner in the pack house’s kitchen and it was one of those rare days when Jamie, Isaac, Elena, Lily and even Zion was present. Things have been slow lately so everyone was less busy. The pack was peaceful and it gave us enough time to connect and do things together.“Where is Elaine?” Lily asked as she took a bite of the chicken Emily had grilled to perfection earlier.“He is playing with the other pups. I can’t get him to stay in one place even to eat” I complained and they all burst out laughing.“He takes after you. You are so difficult to handle” Elena comments and I throw the napkin beside me at her face.They’ve all come to accept Elaine as me and Zion’s pup naturally and sometimes they referred to him as though I gave birth to him, always claiming that he takes certain traits from me or Zion and it made me happy.Elaine has also settled in as being our pup too well. The room Zion made for him was beautiful and Elaine actually cried when he first saw it. Zion may

    I knocked on Zion’s office door, my heart was pounding in my chest. I wanted to tell him immediately before I chickened out. Adopting Elaine out of the blue was something that would change our lives and I really want him to agree with my decision.“Come in” Zion called from the other side. I don’t even know why I knocked when I could have just gone in. I guessed I needed time to gather my thoughts.I pushed the door open with shaky hands and entered the office. Seeing his rugged look made me fall in love with him all over again. I missed him so much even though we slept in the same bed last night.His face lit up into a smile when he saw me. He closed the files he had been going through and stood up. I watched with a small smile as he walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.“Hey, beautiful. What brings you here? Are you okay?”He pressed his lips to mine in what was supposed to be a chaste kiss but I clung to him, deepening the kiss because I missed him so much. He had been too qu

    “Elaine, stop running baby or you’ll hurt yourself” I yelled from where I sat under the huge tree and watched him run around the large field chasing butterflies with the other pups.There was a smile on my face as I watched him giggle and push the other pups lightly. We have been spending almost every day together since Zuri left since I wanted to give Zion and Emily the space they needed. Zion wasn’t taking Zuri’s leaving well. He had been moody, not to me but to the others. He doesn’t talk much or eat much.I wanted to comfort him but I knew he needed time and space to miss her and accept that the decision was the best for Zuri. Elaine was the perfect remedy to distract me from everything. He always made me laugh with his antics and he was annoyingly curious and was always in my face asking the weirdest questions.“You can take your eyes off him for a minute. He won’t disappear or get hurt if you continue reading that book in your lap” Lily said with a laugh and I turn to glare at h
