Zique met Nathaniel in the office, totally ignoring the papers Gabe laid on his desk weeks ago. He was in no shape to involve himself in pack politics, he was too broken for that now, he’d do it the moment he felt whole again.

With slow steps, he walked around his desk, taking a seat in front of Nathaniel who was already seated. He looked up at Gabe, gesturing him out. “I’ll come see you when I’m done, for now give me some privacy.”

Gabe gave him a look that deliberately told him not to do anything stupid before walking out, leaving Zique and Nathaniel alone. “Greetings, old man.”

Nathaniel glared at him, index finger tapping the messy desk. “How many times must I tell you that I’m just 40 years old? I wanted to invite you to my birthday party, but I heard you were a real mad man walking around like a sane one. Is it true? Was there something really wrong with your head?” he chuckled. “It couldn’t be true, the Zique I know would never let a thing drive him crazy...the news must’ve bee

I’m done, you have nothing that I want. You already showed me your true intentions, why should I let you out so you can stab me again? Do you think I’m a fool?’ The words lived in Kiara’s mind even now... He was done... He wanted nothing to do with her... She had nothing to give him. The words were clear and Kiara understood them, but in a sense she didn’t. Why? Why was Zique done with her? Why did he want nothing to do with her? Why could she give him nothing? Why would he think she’d ever stab him again? She’d never do it, not again...she now knew how wrong she had been, how cruel, but how could he just end it? How could he let go of her when he promised he wouldn’t? Kiara wiped under her eyes, realizing that there were no

    Zique stood on the podium, his internal panic killing him and yet externally his face was as blank as a sheet of paper. Shontelle stood in front of him, hands in his and out of all the elders, it was elder Jacob who stood before them both. The cold look on his face was obviously because of disappointment and yet despite that, he was still doing his job. Two packs stood on the ground beneath him, the lights illuminating each member’s face. They all held burning candles in their hands, nothing but an ambience of excitement and anticipation circulating the meeting grounds. And yet all Zique could feel was an augmenting sadness that wouldn’t stop tearing at his heart. Something didn’t feel right, his chest burnt in more ways than one and his wolf was prominently unsettled. Was this another punishment? If so, then why every time the pain decided to increase, it was Kiara that popped up in his head. Perhaps he was just being paranoid, perhaps he was having second thoughts, or perhaps it w

    “Alright, I got your approval, it’s time to get the crowd’s...I believe a heart down there is dying to stop this.” Elder Jacob walked around them and towards the edge of the podium, clearly projecting his voice. “Before we begin, is there anyone who is against this uncultured mating?” Zique’s eyes toured the crowd for a hand of disproval. Deep inside, he really wish there was one, but his heart sank when nobody stepped forward. The elder cleared his throat. “Alright then, the ceremony shall now beg—” “Me! I-I’m against it!” The sound of the voice was familiar and it came from a person Zique least expected it from. “Damion?” Damion stepped out of the crowd, a glint of determination in his hazel eyes. “This mating can’t take place no matter what.” “Damion wh—?” Zique didn’t get to finish his statement, for Shontelle interrupted him. “Damion...I told you not to do this, I told you tha—” “You expect me to just sit back and watch as my life crumble apart right in front of me? I’ve b

    “Kiara I hear him, I can smell him...can you transform?”Kiara looked behind her, almost falling over as she ran. There was so much fear within her now, if he was coming, then she’d never really get to escape because not even Gabe could go against an alpha like him. “I-I don’t know...I’m scared.”“I know...” Gabe’s hand tightened around hers. “I’ll transform, you can sit on my back.”Kiara nodded, her free hand swiping across her cheek to get rid of the wetness. “Okay.”She skidded to a stop behind Gabe, her bright, blue eyes watching as he crouched down, starting his transformation. His bones cracked so loud in the silence and even in the dark, Kiara could see as fur took over his skin; grey fur, both light and dark. He crouch low, low enough for her to get on and Kiara didn’t hesitate to do so. Her trembling hands barely managed to wrap around his neck, her legs latching onto his sides and only then did Gabe take off, racing with the breeze. She felt like he was more anxious than

    Zique continued to pad forward until he stood in front of Gabe. ‘Put her down, Gabe.’ ‘No, you’ve done enough Zique, let the poor girl go.’ ‘’I thought our affairs were none of your business.’ ‘’It is now.’ ‘Just put her down, Gabe; willingly to avoid getting hurt. I can’t believe you went against my orders and behind my back too.’ Gabe scoffed. ‘And I can’t believe you tried to mate somebody else despite the fact that your f*cking MATE was behind bars. You’ve gone right back to the old Zique.’ He took a step forward, his eyes calculative. ‘You don’t care about her, do you? You’re just holding onto to her because of your pride. She’s tired of it, she wants to get away now, she’s officially gone through too much because of you.’ ‘How could you stand there and tell me that I don’t care when you damn well know that I do?’ ‘If you really cared, you’d never think of hurting her like you had planned to tonight. Damion told me he stopped you and if it weren’t for him, then Kiara wouldn

    Kiara was led back down the same path she thought she’d never be able to walk again. She felt weak, weaker than she’d ever been and not just physically, mentally as well. She felt drain, felt like a living zombie or rather a puppet. Nothing she did was ever her choice, she was always being controlled. ‘You’ll stay here and if one day you decide you want to leave, you’ll be dead before you cross the border.’ ‘’It’s not about what you want, whether you want it or not, we shall conceive a child.’ She never had a choice in matters that concerned her life, she had a mouth, but it seems she didn’t have a voice. Now it was the same, she had begged not to go back, but it seems Zique couldn’t hear her. He had always been deaf to her words and blind to her pain. The only person he really listened to was himself and he cared not about who the decisions he selflessly makes hurt. Cruel, he found himself a new mate and expects her to stay with him in the same house they had established their re

    Kiara stayed in the bathroom for long, washing the guard’s touch off of her body as well as Zique’s. According to her, they both were the same; forced.There was nothing that painted Zique any different from them, in fact, he was worst. They were guarding hundreds of cells, but Zique was only guarding hers. How c—“Hey, Kiara! Are you alright in there? It’s been over an hour.”Kiara looked at the door, knowing just who stood behind it. It was him; her prison guard, which was exactly why she kept her mouth shut despite the worrisome question he had asked. Why did he suddenly care now?He hadn’t before, so why did he keep apologizing?And why did he keep looking at her with such a sympathetic gaze?She might be pitiful, but she didn’t want pity, not from him. “Kiara...” the door knob twisted, but before he pushed it open, he gave her warning. “I’m coming in.”And he did just that, his obsidian eyes glancing around until they found her laid in tub. “Didn’t you hear me calling you?”Kiar

    Kiara buttoned the top of her dress, taking a seat in her old room. She didn’t miss this place, all she had missed while being in prison was Zique’s bedroom and his arms. However, now she dreaded going near that awfully familiar room. It withheld too much of the past, memories of them were engraved against the walls, on the bed and even on the floor, memories she did not want to remember. She hated them, every snippet of the past, he had used her in more ways than one. He played with her mind, her body and her heart and he expected her to happily smile when he hugged her and not cringed when he apologize repeatedly or utter to her words of worry. If he had been worried about her, he wouldn’t have considered a rejection and he wouldn’t have announced a mating ceremony that did not in anyway include her. Why was she even here? Why was he not with that red haired girl? It was her that he wanted from the very beginning, he had sex with her while Kiara was patiently waiting for him at h

    DAMION'S STORY “Get out…someone will be here soon…” “But I~” Damion glared over at the pack member who laid almost breathless beside him. He knew it was a possibility that she hadn’t yet recovered from the roughness he had bestowed upon her, but he didn’t care. He didn’t force her into his bed, she came willing and so she should go out willingly as well. “Did I by any chance ask you anything? I said to get out, you’re supposed to do just that, not talk back.” “I’m sorry Gamma, it’s that…my legs…they’re…” “Just go…” The omega that he failed to get the name of stood to her feet, her watery eyes glancing down at her shaking legs. There were bruises all over her body, red marks that gave away the fact that her life was not much long ago f*cked out of her. Her neck which he had squeezed so tight was plentiful red, her wrists which he had held above her head and even her hips that he had hooked onto while he hammered deep into her. He was sure she saw stars tonight, poor thing probably

    Zique looked down at the crowd of people in front of him. He was standing on the podium, Kiara beside him and between them was elder Jacob. The crowd was silent, looking up with anticipation in their eyes.They had all been waiting for this, but Zique had waited far longer than they had. He was eager, his anxiousness was far too high. He had wanted this moment for so long, and now that it was finally time for it, he wasn’t even sure how to act.His lips were wobbling to stretch into a happy grin, but his pack was watching, and he’d seem too stupid in front of them. He had to keep the bliss he felt in, they couldn’t know just how fast his heart was beating right now and just how nervous he was.Kiara was going to mark him tonight, her mark was going to be on his neck and their bond would be much stronger than it already is. Three months had passed since their first appointment with the doctor and now Kiara was five months pregnant. Her baby bump was the cutest, she had put on weight, h

    Zique held Kiara’s hand as they headed down the path towards the pack hospital. The woods were quiet since there was nobody else here, nobody but the trees and the animals that lived within and below them. The narrow patch of grass beneath their feet was trampled and dry, making it different from the healthy ones that grew beside it. It was really what defined their path because this particular section of the forest bed was dead due to how many times it had been stepped on.Zique’s steps were slow, Kiara’s too, they were both basking in the comfort of their company, the pack hospital wasn’t too far away from them, but Zique was probably the only one ecstatic to get there.Kiara on the other hand was still nervous about the results she was about to get. It was stupid, but she had her reasons. Zique had told her his story, told her why he had always wanted a son…and if she really couldn’t grant him one, why were they even mated?But what if there’s a chance that she had a child and it t

    “He’s finally gone for goddess’ sake!” “You told him to leave…that’s why…” “What? Didn’t you want to be alone with me like I wanted to be alone with you.” Kiara looked over at him, her fingers fumbling the blouse she wore. “It’s not that…you see…Damion’s already so sad. So I thou~” Kiara paused when Zique shuffled even closer to her, his arm brushing against hers. “You thought?” “I thought…well I…I wanted t-to make him feel~” Zique twisted towards her, grabbing her waist and lifting her onto his lap. “Turn towards me.” Kiara’s hand gripped onto the thin material instead of just fumbling it, her legs reluctantly as she adjusted herself to face him. “Continue now, you wanted him to fell what?” “To f-feel comfor…” Kiara’s lips wobbled, her face going red and she could do nothing but hide it against his chest. “W-Why?” Zique’s arms hugged around her, pulling her even closer to him. “Why what?” “Why am I here…? On…on you when there’s a couch here.” “That’s obviously because I w

    Zique walked into the house, trying his best to totally forget about what Gabe said. Kiara was already his, and more over, she would always be his. Was that why he pitied Gabe?He was five years older than Zique and yet he hadn’t found his mate, and now the first person he had ever showed feelings for was already taken. It wasn’t his fault, so Zique couldn’t really blame him…he probably fell when he least expected it.After all, Gabe wouldn’t be stupid enough to have willingly fell in love with someone he knew he couldn’t have. As he said just now, ‘the heart wants what it wants’, and it was true, for his seemed to have reached out for her.Zique could only hope that what he said after that was just as true ~that it wasn't hard to get over her~ because what else could he do but hope? He couldn’t condemn his best friend, couldn’t shun him…and he couldn’t hate him for something like this either.They’ve been through too much…and that was exactly why he didn’t want to bring up the fact t

    “I won’t tell her.”“Well, I won’t f*cking tell her either.”“It’s better if you tell her.”“Zique can tell her his f*cking self!”Kiara stared at Gabe and Damion, squinting her eyes in confusion. Zique left a minute ago to get her strawberries and she was now in the care of these two. “Tell me what?”They looked at each other, then over at her, both shrugging at the same time. “Nothing…we’re not talking about you.” Gabe grumbled.“I know you were talking about me, you kept glancing my way.”“Well, that’s because…it’s because~”“No Gabe! Don’t let her force it out of you with that pretty look on her face.” Damion threw his arm over Gabe’s shoulder, turning him to face away from her. “We won’t tell you, Kiara!”Kiara tilted her head, delving even deeper into confusion. They were acting weird, weirder than usual. “What’s wrong with you two?”“Ask Zique…he knows.”“But…but…why can’t you tell me?”Gabe pushed Damion’s arm off of him and with a sigh, he took a seat beside her. “It’s nothi

    “I want to talk first…about that ‘them’ you mentioned earlier.” Zique almost faltered at her words and somehow fear started to cave his heart again. Would she accept it? It was a question he couldn’t stop himself from asking. Nevertheless, he took a seat at the edge of the bed, running his hand down his face in frustration. He shouldn’t run from the truth any longer. She was already carrying his child, there’s nothing either of them could do about it now. Sighing he turned to face her. “You’re pregnant…” “M-Me…?” Zique’s fingers twitched, his nervousness becoming palpable. “I know you might not want this or rather, I know you might not want to have my child, but yes…you are…you’re pregnant with my child.” Kiara looked down at her covered stomach, confusion in her eyes. “But the doctor sa~” “The doctor lied.” “Then…Then~” “I know, I was a bastard to you because of that and I’m sorry. Instead of my pack that doesn’t care about me half as much as you do, I should’ve chosen you.

    “I’m…I’m tired Zique…”Zique rammed into her again, hands holding tight to the gloves of her ass as she held onto him with both her arms and legs. “I know princess, this is the last round, I promise…”“Y-You said that a while ago.” Her finger scraped violently across his back, the tears from her eyes streaming down his shoulder. “It’s too much…”Zique sighed, his thrusts slowing to a stop. “I really promise it’ll end this time…I just don’t want to let you go…what if I do only to find out that you won’t want me again after this.”Kiara lifted her head off his shoulder to look at him, her back pressing against the wall behind her. “I will…”“Promise?”Kiara’s hands cupped his face as she nodded. “I promise…”“Alright, you promised…you can’t tell me you hate me anymore, you can’t tell me that you won’t forgive me, you promised…everything has gone back to normal, I can hold you if I want, I can kiss you and you won’t get upset.”Kiara nodded with a chuckle. “Yes, I know. You’re acting so

    Kiara’s face pressed against the table as Zique’s hand sunk into her back, forcefully arching it. “Like this, Kiara…” His hand then ran down the length of her back, straight to her thighs, spreading them. “You look so sexy right now…” Kiara felt it when he pressed up against her and his hard on settling at the edge of her entrance surely not going unnoticed to her. Her cheeks flushed even redder, her body mentally preparing for what was about to come. “Are you ready, princess?” Kiara nodded, her legs trembling in need. She wanted him so bad that it ached, and now that it was finally going to happen, now that the pleasure she had awaited was so close, she could think of nothing but it. Her anticipation was at its peak, her desperation too, and the desire was running abundantly wild inside of her. “Hurry up…” Zique leaned down, his body pressing against hers. “You’re being impatient too…” Kiara could hear the smirk in his voice, he was teasing her, riling her up to a point where sh
