Zane and Shirl walked back to their chambers in total silence, they were both engrossed in their thoughts.
Shirl was feeling so content and happy that her prank worked, her mate proved her right by coming to the fighting arena immediately after she was hit. She would have been so disappointed if he didn't show up. His appearance signified just how much he loves and cares about her.
Zane on the other hand was fuming though he was trying to suppress his anger so that Shirl wouldn't notice. When he felt the sharp pain on his back, his wolf became alerted and he knew immediately that Shirl was in pain. He rushed to the fighting arena with only one thing in mind.... that is to rip to pieces the motherfucker who had the guts to lay his or hand on his Luna.
He became weak when he realized that it was his sister and he couldn't do anything aside glaring at her. Amelia was so lucky that they were blood relations if not she
"So, what exactly do you want me to talk to him about? I guess I'm going to be the bearer of bad news then, or hmmm Luna of doom" Shirl said smiling. "Luna of doom sounds nice and sophisticated, It suits you," Amelia replied jokingly. "But on a more serious note, you alone are in a better position to break the news to him, anyone else that tells him may not be able to survive the outcome of his anger," Amelia said. "Stop making me curious and scared at the same time, spill it out before I changed my mind about helping you out," Shirley said seriously and Amelia quickly started narrating everything to her without pausing a bit to catch her breath. After she was done narrating she breathed out in relief for finally getting it out of her system. "And, why did you stop now? What next after that," Shirley asked in anticipation. "I stopped because I was done, there is nothing
Zane and Robert raced back home in silence, they ran for a while and when their house came to view, they slowed down a bit, stopping to shift back to their human form. After shifting, Zane picked up the deer from the ground and started heading towards the direction of his house, he paused a little and turned to Robert."Running with you wasn't that bad, we should do this again some other time,” Zane said looking into the woods, not wanting to see the smug smile plastered all over Robert's face."Sure, I'm always up for running with you anytime and anywhere, and don't forget to save me apart from the catch, I will come to your house tomorrow morning for it, let me go check on my pack members,” Robert ran off not waiting for Zane's reply, waiting would give him the chance to refute his statement of coming to his house for his share of the meat."Zane smiled after Robert dashed off, he knew why he ran off withou
"You are joking right?" Shirley asked in shock"Joking?? Of course not. Why would I joke when we are playing a very serious game" HE said smirking.Shirley stared at him completely dumbfounded, seems like her plan is about to bounce back on her."Go on, am waiting," HE said laughing at her facial expression.She still didn't move an inch, she was trying to remember the undies she wore if it was sexy enough to be seen by her mate. When she remembered what she wearing under, she smiled smugly, he would be totally surprised."Isn't there supposed to be a time phrase for the Dare? You are taking too much time just to do something so simple". HE said impatiently."Patience is virtue Zane," she said like she was scolding him."As you already know, I'm not a very patient man, In fact, I'm not patient at all.""Screw it!! She
Amelia couldn't sleep anymore; the bed was cold next to her and the room was too quiet. She had been laying in bed staring into the ceiling for up to five hours now. When she left Shirl's bedroom, she went home immediately waiting to hear from Robert and Shirley. Robert came back a few hours ago and he told her that they had a good time that they ran for a while and even went out to hunt. She was happy that they got along and didn't fight so that would make Shirl's work a little bit easier. It was really annoying and heart wrecking waiting for what seems like forever to hear something you so desperately needed to hear. She had almost half a bottle of tequila she just opened, she had to stop herself so that she wouldn't get drunk before getting the news she was waiting for.At this point, she was picking and biting on her nails in anticipation when suddenly the soft voice she had been waiting for ages resounded in her ears. She felt the urge to curl into a ball a
"I can't just give you my blessings like that...""So, you are against it then?" Robert asked in shock his eyes widening in surprise."What I mean is that I can't give you my blessings and I'm not against it also, you can do whatever you deem fit. Giving you my blessings would mean I would have to listen to all your complaints when or if the need arises. To summarize it all, I am on a neutral ground, I won't kill you or break any of your bones if you decide to accept her, and I won't exactly jump or dance for joy if you decide to reject her". Zane said."Ooh, I get now. At least that is something, you should have explained it well from the beginning" Robert said."You would have gotten it the first time if you did not so rudely interrupt me," Zane said raising his eyes at him."I really can't believe it" Robert muttered to himself but it was loud enough for Zane to hear.
Shirley woke up the next morning feeling a slight headache, she looked at the watch on the bedside and it was sharp seven, she was used to waking up by seven, and no matter how late she slept, she always wakes up by that time even without an alarm. She groaned when she remembered what kept her awake till past one and after staying up that late, she still didn't get any useful information from him. She was tempted to wake him up and ask him about last night but she resisted. She decided she was going to sleep a little more so she snuggled closer to him, then sighed in content after closing her eyes.An arm snaked around her waist and his head burrowed itself onto her shoulder. A sleepy murmur left him as he tucked his legs over hers."Morning, why are you awake by this time?" he rumbled sleepily with his eyes still closed."Good morning to you too" She replied softly turning so that she can face him. Being so close to him
"Hey babe, I am not saying that you can't shop on your own, I know that you have your own money I am only showing my appreciation to you for taking care of my drunken self. Taking care of a drunk isn't part of your duty as my mate. So, I'm just grateful to you, it's not like I am paying you" Zane said."Okay then, but I'm still not collecting the card from you no matter how you try to twist the word. You can show your appreciation some other time and through other means. Moreover, Love makes you do selfless things, and what I did is just a little, anyone else who loves you would have done the same" Shirl persisted. She brought out the chopped fruits of last night from the fridge and dished out two plates, after adding milk to it she offered him a plate and HE thanked her.It is official, she is the best thing to ever happen to me. She is exactly what HE needs in his life and HE wouldn't mind going through all pains HE went through in his chi
Robert stayed in the kitchen and watched as his housekeeper prepared his meal in a haste. He knew that his presence in the kitchen was making his housekeeper nervous but he couldn't bring himself to leave. Staying in the kitchen waiting for his dinner would prevent him from staying in his bedroom waiting for his phone to ring and if it doesn't ring, he might even be tempted to call her if he stays alone in his bedroom.The housekeeper left in a haste after serving him. He thanked him for the meal before settling down alone on the dining chair, eating his dinner in silence. Of late, he has been feeling so lonely, It feels like there is a void in his heart that needed to be filled. Nights like this, when he sits in the dining eating alone with no one to talk to, no one to compliment the food, no one to tell how he spent his day, no one to argue with, Is when the loneliness becomes too much and unbearable. After eating, he decided to do the dishes to pass time, whe
"Are you sure it's still going to fit okay? I seem to have added much in the past few days," Shirley said pulling her button lips between her teeth as as she fiddled nervously with the fabric of her dress."Trust me, it would and you are going to look gorgeous in it," Amelia said smiling with reassurance as she gave her Shirley's dress one look. "Now hurry up, you wouldn't want to be late to your own house opening and the homecoming party of your mate would you?"Shirley's lips twitched as she exhaled slowly, mentally psyching herself up to step out in the public as Luna after several years of staying hidden.'We have got this Shirl,' Shirley's wolf said."Okay," Shirley replied, her eyes sparkling with gratitude as she started putting on her dress. "I feel like a princess," Shirley giggled."You should be talking about looking like a queen now. Leave the title of princess for your son's mate, Constance. You look like a sexy and elega
"Hey," Shirley said with a smile the moment she opened her eyes."Good morning to you too beautiful," Zane replied.As usual, he woke up before her. These past few days were the best she had had so far. They were days they spent to process everything that has happened so far. She woke up every morning to see Zane already awake and staring at her lovingly. She had barely gone out since he returned, just like all those years ago when he got captured, only that this time, she spent her days laughing with him by her side."Tell me again, how did you feel when you found out that you were pregnant with our son?" Zane asked twirling her hair in his hand."That again? I have told you that story several times already, aren't you tired of hearing it? Ask me something else," Shirley replied with a smile."No, I want to hear it again. I want you to tell it to me every day, I can never get tired of it,""It's old news already. What I can't get over

"We need to get out of here and look for Zane," Shirley stated and all the wolves nodded and yipped in agreement."So...any plan? Or are we all going to go look for him?" A wolf said."The plan..... half of us will go in search of him while the rest will stay and watch our back," Shirley replied and immediately they divided themselves into two groups. The plan was to sneak out and look for Zane and Robert and release them before anyone sees them, but it was too big a risk and she wasn't sure how well it would work out when they do not know what they are up against.If Davina killed fifty of them, just how many more are left? She felt scared but she refused to voice out her fears so that the rest would not be discouraged.As they marched out of their cell, her wolf reminded her that she was there with her and there was nothing to be afraid of and that made her bold. She remembered that her wolf is vicious in her own way and she was eager to take down every

Shirley rushed to her son and collected the chains from his hands. She wasn't comfortable in watching her son kill someone before her eyes, if she had her way, she wouldn't want him to kill anyone at all. "I will handle this myself," she said to him, when she saw him hesitate."What the hell are you doing?" Davina gasped, opening her mouth so that she would be able to breathe."What the hell does it look like?" Shirley sneered tightening her hold on the chains. "I am killing you of course,""How...how...how could you? You..you were the...one preaching... about fair and square, so... how could you?" Davina said."Fair and square? I don't know what that fago? Were you been fair when you kidnapped us from our own homes? Were you been fair when you forced my young son watch something so obscene? Answer me! Were you been fair?" Shirley screamed, choking her with the chain. "If you can't answer that, then you have no business speaking about fairness."Da

So this is how you pay me for my generosity and hospitality? I should have known better. Wolves are same with fox and being kind to them is nothing but a waste of one's time, "Davina said.Shirley said. "Did I hear you say generosity and hospitality? Do you even know the meaning of those?" Shirley asked.You will see. Since you are not satisfied with what you are given, I will make it a point of duty that you are no longer given any. "You just lost all your privileges. That is your punishment for disrespecting me," Davina said, kneeling to her level to shove her face away.Shirley laughed and actually barked in her face, which caught her off guard. Then she said, "What privileges are you talking about?
A bang on the door jolted them all from their thoughts and they looked to see a hand push in several trays of food through the section of the door. It didn't take long before the smell of warm food hit their nostrils.Hunter's mouth felt dry and he looked at his mom to confirm if they were going to eat the food or not, and when she nodded, he undid his cuffs and stood up wearily from the floor to go bring the food closer. His knees groaned in protest but he made his way to the latch several times and retrieved the food trays and water."How are you able to get out of this sliver cuff? Didn't it burn you?" Shirley asked when she saw Hunter without his cuffs.Hunter shrugged and said, "I stared at it intently and asked it to open and it did. But I tried opening everyone else's own but it didn't work.""It's okay, it is nothing to be sad about," Shirley replied when she saw his face fall.When he was done bringing the food closer, all except Shirley w
