"You are finally awake, sleepyheady. I was going to bring you lunch and also check if you were still breathing. I was beginning to think that too much of that made your heart fail," Zane called out in a teasing voice the moment he saw Shirley walk down the stairs.
Shirley yawned, then continued walking towards him. When she got close enough, she replied, "lunch? It is not even twelve yet, and I would not even be surprised if my heart suddenly fails now. It endured a lot of pumping last night. " She settled herself onto the nearest couch because her legs were still not fully awake, so they felt wobbly. "What? Do I have something in my face? " She asked when she saw him staring at her with his mouth hanging open.
He nodded his head before replying, "I guess I am not to blam
You.. you said I should... i should erm..sell my scent to you because I smell better than your five thousand dollars cologne and I would experience sexual pleasure each day if I do, so how else would I achieve sexual pleasure if not... if not through...erm..." Shirley stammered, then she continued to fan her face with both of her hands so that her heated cheeks would cool down.Zane could not control his laughter so burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, he replied, "do you really think that the only way you can achieve sexual pleasure is by having sex with me everyday? that is absurd, there are so many other ways baby, this is the twenty-first century for fuck sake.""Wait...wait let me get this straight, are you suggesting that I make use of sex toys to achieve sexual pleasure or worse of all...you expect me to whack off? now that is what I call absurd," Shirley replied in a disgusted voice."Really? So you think whacking off is absurd, if that is the
Immediately after Fredrick left, Zane brought out his phone and dialed Ace's number. He needed to find out if Shirley had any favorite places, or if she had any place in mind she would love to visit, or if it was okay to choose any country of his choice. Ace did not pick up even after the fourth ring, so he decided to stop calling and join Fredrick in his office so that they could make every other preparation that does not involve location. When he got to his office, he met Fredrick on call, but Fredrick ended the call immediately when he saw him. "You do not have to end the call because of me. You can go ahead and finish up," Zane said."Erm... I... I am done. Alpha, that was my sister. She called to confirm if I got home safely, so..so there is nothing else to talk about," Fredrick stuttered in response. He quickly masked the shock on his face so that Zane would not get suspicious of him eve
"I was hoping to be wrong this time around, but I was right after all. You needed to find out something from me as usual," Ace teased.Like you said earlier, we are both busy men, so we do not have that kind of time to waste. Speaking of time, did you not say that you need to answer to your alpha now? So are you going to give me the answer to my question or are you going to continue to query me for not checking up on you? " Zane asked in a playful voice."You can not call that querying, I am simply stating a fact," Ace replied."Since you are stating the facts, let me help you state them clearly. At least I call you once in a while, even if it is just to get answers from you. I still dial your n
"I really do not know what to think anymore I am as frustrated as the word can be, how can things be happening with my Beta, right under my nose and I would have no idea what it is?" Zane grumbled."Like you said, we have no concrete evidence...not just do we not have any concrete evidence, we have no evidence at all, all we have is your gut feeling and it may be wrong, so there is really no need to get so worked up when nothing have been confirmed yet. If you are this tensed now that nothing have been confirmed, what then are you going to do when we get solid evidence. I really hope that we do not get any, let it end as a misplaced suspicion," Robert said.I really hope so too. This is one time I do not mind being wrong. In fact, I sincerely wish I would be wrong this time
As soon as Shirley ended the mind-link, she turned to Amelia and said, "remind me again how you managed to live with Zane all through your childhood, was he always this...erm...yeah! cunning and clingy? those are the exact words to describe him. Before meeting Zane, I have always complained about how Ace was always in my space, how he always wanted me in his sight so as to confirm if I am okay or if I was hurt, if I am gone for more than four five hours, he will go looking for me, but seeing Zane now, I do not think I have to complain, be is on another level different from Ace.""Look at you complaining like you do not like and enjoy all the attention. Let me explain something to you though, Zane was never the clingy type, if anything, he hated the word itself because he felt like those who are clingy will always be dependent on others and that makes them weak, he despised weakness. So...if he is clingy now, it is enough proof how so into you he is," Amelia replied with a smi

"That reminds me Lia, what about erm... what's that his name again? The gentleman who was kind enough to drive us to and fro Shirley asked."You mean Nick?" Amelia answered.Yeah, yeah, that's him, the one and only Dominic. So tell me, how did you spend last night? Do not even try to mince your words because the evidence is boldly plastered all over your face. Wait... did he spend the night here? Because when I alighted, you were still with him, "Shary asked curiously. Come on, Lia, spill the beans!!! "The mischievous glint in your eyes has given you away already, but I still want to hear the answer directly from you," Shirley pressed on when Amelia replied to her earlier question with only a smile.
By the time Shirley got to her window, the sun was already going down behind the horizon, she stood in silence as she watched the colors turn from vibrant red to pink then orange and finally yellow. Right from when she was younger, she has always been amazed by how the sun would set in a flurry of colors, with its promise to come again tomorrow, it held a promise of hope and a new day to come. It was magical how the sun and moon worked in perfect harmony, only ever meeting during an eclipse, it was a flawless balance of nature, of yin and yang. Hours like this when the sun took a break and gave way to the moon has always been her favourite part of nature because it felt like the Moon goddess was shining in all her glory watching over her. Just as the sun glided down to its last quarter and the day turned to night, she felt the presence of Zane even before he got to her, she did not bother to make her presence known in the dark because she knows he would find her in no time and he di
"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
