ZARA
I walked between the trees along the river. Feeling the pull gets stronger, and the scent of eucalyptus and cedar wood gets stronger too. I hear the sound of someone moving around in the water. Hiding behind a tree, I see the back of a strong body with tattoos. My breathing goes up a little, and I feel drawn to this unknown guy. I try to move a little closer but accidentally step on some branches and can see his shoulders go tense. But then the wind changed, and it came from behind me towards the guy in the river, making me gasp. I watch how his shoulders relax again, and then he slowly turns, and I am met with the blue-green eyes I saw in my dream.
He is frozen, standing there looking at me. He looks exactly like I had dreamed about, and everything inside me tells me I can trust him. He wakes up from his frozen stance in the water and moves to the edge of the river before standing up on the ground, naked.
I gasp and close my eyes, turning
ZACH We found her! It feels so surreal. We found my precious sister, and it turned out everyone was right. Aiden is her mate. Afterward, she took us to where she and our grandpa, whom I had not seen since we were kids, were resting for the night. We talked for a bit and agreed that Aiden and I would go get our stuff and come back here.We turned to leave when a small whimper came from Zara. We turned to look, and before we knew it, she ran into Aiden’s arms, and he held her softly.“I will be right, beautiful, promise.” He said, and she nodded. I guess she was scared he wouldn’t come back. He hugged her before letting go, and we turned again to run back to our stuff.When we got there, the first thing I did was grab my phone. It was just before midnight, but I knew dad wanted to know right away that we had found her. I turned on my phone and called his number again for the second time tonight.“Zach?&
ZARAOpening my eyes, I realize I must have fallen asleep last night while I was sitting with Aiden and talking. He had told me about my mom and dad. But also about Zach and my other brother Xander. He told me a little about how broken and sad my mom had been after my kidnapping. But he also told me that my mom is pregnant after already having miscarried a few times.He told me how he and my brothers had trained hard, so they could help look for me. He also told me he is the adopted son of my dad’s beta and that his birth parents are dead.Looking around, I am inside the cave, and a pair of strong arms are wrapped around me. I know by the scent it’s Aiden and decides to just lay still for a bit. To my surprise, I feel very comfortable in his arms and know it must be the matebond that makes me so comfortable around him.I thought about what he said last night about marking each other. There was a good point in doing it, so othe
LIAM‘Run, Shadow, run as fast you can.’ I urge him, but I know I don’t have to say it. When we heard the words coming from Zach, we were all ready to run.I let Shadow have complete control and think back to when my phone had informed me of an incoming call. Seeing Zach’s name on the screen, I did for a second fear the worst because I had already spoken to him earlier.*FLASHBACK*Zach?” I asked“We found her dad.” He rushed out.“What, Zara?” I ask, shocked because I had honestly begun to think we would never find her. I look at Laura, who is waking up here next to me.“Yes, Aiden found her, or she found him. They are mates. They have been feeling the pull.” He continues.“How is she? Is she alright?” I ask, wanting to Smack myself for asking such a stupid question.“She is alright. Grandpa Bryan found
ZARA I don’t know what happened when the king talked to me. But I knew then that even if he isn’t my birth father, he is my dad. He held me for a long time, whispering calm words. After he let go, Aiden hugged me and asked me if I was okay. And I was, but I was so exhausted, years of abuse and being partly starved and been on the run for days now, my body was giving up. Not wanting me to get hurt because of exhaustion, Aiden told me not to shift today but sit on his wolf. While we were running, he wanted me to rest. Dad, grandpa, and Zach all agreed with him, so I did as he said. I was so tired I slept while he was running and was surprised I had not fallen off. It was now two full days when we only stopped to eat and drink. While I had not shifted but been on the back of Zeus and dad’s wolf Shadow so that Zeus could relax a little from the extra weight. But now we were all resting by the fire, and dad told us we would reach the pack
AIDEN“Adopted? So you are not even of Beta blood?” Alpha Chase smirks, thinking he already has won.“No, Alpha, but I am an Alpha-born wolf that the king himself has trained,” I tell him, and for a second, I see uncertainty flash in his eyes.Good, this piece of shit thinks he can take my mate from me. He is in for a surprise of his life. I pull off my shirt, my tattoos coming into sight, and I see him get big eyes.Getting tattoos as a wolf is not easy as we will heal when done in the usual way. To not make them heal and disappear, you need to have wolfsbane to the ink.I move away so the others won’t be caught in the fight and gets ready.“I am waiting. Alpha.” At least our bond is nowhere completed, so I know Zara won’t be feeling this.Liam stepped forward“Here are the rules for this challenge. There will be no shifting, but it is allowed to bring your
ZARAA sound woke me up. I was still in a sleeping Aiden’s arms. I looked beside me and saw dad and grandpa were sleeping, but Zach was awake, having his eyes locked on something or someone. I gently removed Aiden’s arm and sat up, and saw that it was Alpha Chase; Zach was keeping an eye on. However, when my eyes fell on Alpha Chase, his eyes were locked onto Aiden and me, hatred burning in his eyes.Zack noticed me waking up and smiled at me. I smiled back and went to sit next to him.“Morning, sis.” He grinned.“Morning, Brother,” I answered, making him smile even bigger. He hugged me, and I relaxed.“We will reach home today. Dad wants us to run the rest of the way today.” Zach tells me, and I nod my head.“I am nervous,” I admit.“Why?” he asks, surprised.“What if she gets disappointed?” I say.“Mom?” he
ZARADad decided we should walk the last part without shifting. I was walking in silence and could hear dad and grandpa agree to sit down and talk about what he knew the next day. Dad wants us to use the rest of the day to let me get settled in and for us all to rest. After a little I felt as if someone was pushing at my mind, like when Sierra talked to me, but still different.‘It's our mate trying g to talk through the mindlink. Just think about how you let him into your mind and speak to him like that.’ Sierra tells me. I do as she says, and I hear Aiden’s voice in my head.‘Welcome home, beautiful.’ He tells me‘Thank you. I am nervous.’ I admit.‘I know, I can feel it. But I will be by your side for as long as you want and need me.’ He promises.‘You don’t want to go home to your family?’ I ask him, not wanting to take him away from them.&ls
LAURA My little girl is home. I was shocked when I woke up that night. Zach called home to tell Liam they had found Zara. They had found my little girl. It had been a few very long days waiting for them to return after Liam had gone to help get her home safely. I was sitting in the kitchen with Rosa and Xander when Liam’s voice sounded in my head. I got happy and also excited because I knew that meant they weren’t far from home, and not long after, I felt a new member being added to the pack. ‘I had to make her a pack member again. She smelled like a rouge.’ Liam says through the mindlink. ‘I felt it. They must have done something when they took her.’ I say. ‘Yes, and she was a small kid only connected here because you were. Had she grown up here, the packlink would have grown with her. But now she is here. But baby, you need to be prepared.’ He says. ‘What do you mean?’ I ask, but somehow I know. I just don’t want to admit it. ‘It’s bad, baby. Her body is covered in scars. And
ZARA I was resting in our bedroom because the twins were moving around like crazy inside my tummy. Yes, I am pregnant with twins, and we have two boys. I think I had hoped god a little girl after I had given birth to Jason, who is our firstborn, and a little more than a year later, we had Alex. And now two more boys will be here soon.But it is okay. Because I have Zoey and Zach, who had found out Tessa’s younger sister was his mate, had gotten two girls now also twins. Xander had yet to find his mate, but he said he was okay with that. But he did hope he would meet her before taking over as king.I hear tiny feet come running and see my boys come running with Aiden chasing them. Aiden had officially been the royal Beta for two years. After Mack almost lost his life saving him, we all thought he had recovered, but it turned out that his heart had taken damage, and after nearly dying from a heart attack, he chose to step down. But everyone
AIDENIt’s been two weeks since the attack. And with resting and the care from everyone, both Zara and dad had gotten better. Luckily Zach and Xander both were only slightly injured and were able to go home after being stitched up. Dad had taken a few days in the hospital. But it was back to normal now.Zara had almost gotten raped again by that bastard. But when we had made it there in time, though Zara was not completely okay after that, and after the shock was gone, she refused to let me touch her for a few days. But it has all gotten better now.Now I am standing in the outdoor wedding venue that has been put up. The flower setup was a mix of moon flowers and red roses. The gazebo where we would be saying our vows was white, with flowers climbing everywhere they could. Laura, mom, and Rosa had really outdone themselves.Now I am standing here with dad and mom next to me, and Zach and Xander are at the other side. Zara had
ZARA I was running and running as I had been told, and we ran in the direction of the matebond towards Aiden. Suddenly I feel the mindlink open between Sierra and Zeus. Next, I feel Aiden push the link.‘Baby! I am coming.’ He rushes out.‘Aiden, they are right me! I am getting tired.’ I whimper. Being pregnant is hard.‘Hang in there, baby,’ He begs me.And I do hope he is closer than I think. Suddenly Samson's big brown wolf jumps at me, and I crash into a tree. Our legs give in, and Sierra whimpers. The brown wolf walks toward me. And it shifts into Samson's human form. He smirks as he sees me there, not caring he is naked.“What a fine and beautiful wolf. Shift back, Zara.” He orders me, but it doesn’t affect me. So I don’t shift.“I said shift, you little whore.” He growled as he kicked my legs, and I was afraid if I did not go do like he sa
ZARAIt has been two days since the attack. But luckily, our pack had not lost anyone and the ones injured were all healed now. I had been helping mom and Cora, caring for those who had needed it. On top of that, Aiden and I had decided we wanted to marry sooner than later.So our wedding was in only two weeks.So today, mom had decided that we would be going to find the wedding dress I wanted today. Dad and Aiden had been adamant about letting us women go, so we had Zach and Xander plus two other warriors with us.We pulled up to the store, and one of the warriors and Xander walked inside to check everything out before they allowed us to go inside.When we got inside, two she-wolves greeted us and led us to a room where dress after dress was put on mannequins. There were dresses in all different styles. But I thought many of them were way too over the top with huge skirts with pearls and diamonds. Some were less, but I still didn&
ZARA The next morning I woke up completely naked, whether my head on an equally naked Aiden. After I said yes and we were hugged by our family, we danced for a few hours. And when it was time, Aiden insisted on carrying me to our room, where he made love to me most of the night. If I had been asked six months ago how my life would turn out, this would not even have crossed my mind. I snuggle into him more, and I can feel through the matebond that he is waking up. Then I feel his big safe arms wrap around me and squeeze me into him. “Morning, my love.” He whispers in my hair. “Morning, handsome,” I answer. I feel him smile. We lay like that for a while, and we agree that we don’t want a big flashy wedding. But we want it small and intimate with just our family and the pack living here on the land. And we want to make it happen as down as possible. Eventually, we got up and went downstairs to join the family for breakfas
AIDEN It’s been three weeks since the meeting, and Zara and I are going back to the hospital for a check-up. And she is now lying on the bed while Tessa is using the ultra scanner. “We could have scanned you when you first came here, but we would have had to use another form for scanner. And given your history with sexual abuse, we decided it was better to wait.” Tessa explains to us, and I can see that Zara is relieved by that information. And I honestly don’t know how I would have felt about watching someone put something up there. “Okay, here we are. Do you want to hear the heartbeat?” she asks us. “Yes.” We both say at the same time. Tessa chuckles. But turn a speaker on. Da-dum, Da-dum, da-dum. The soft sound of a strong and steady heartbeat sounds from the speakers. And then Tessa turns the screen and shows us the little, and we can see what seems to be a big bean that is being shaped into a little human.
Warning. this Chapter contains thoughts about rape and abuse. That can be triggering. The chapter is written to give a short climb into who Samson is and what his plans are according to his dark and twisted mind. If too much, I suggest that you skip this chapter and skip to the next chapter that I will post today as well. to take the darkness away from this.SAMSONWeakness is what all these pathetic excuses of wolves are. I thought Killian would be good enough to be a leader, to be our Alpha. But ever since that bitch Camille came, and they found out they were mates, he became weak. He does anything she wants him to, and that makes him pathetic.I had a mate once who was nothing like I wanted, And she just accepted anything I did to her, so I actually ended up killing her while I was busy fucking her tight pussy. It did hurt a little when the bond broke. But even with a matebond, I didn’t love her, so I wasn
AIDEN I was quiet while hearing Elder Andrews's story on the way home. I knew Zeus was listening as well as I felt him very close to the surface. When Andrews was done with his story, I concentrated on Zeus for a little.‘Is it true?’ I ask him about our private connection.’Yes, the elder is a very wise man.’ Zeus’s powerful and dark voice sounds in my head.‘Why didn’t tell you to tell me?’ I ask a bit harder than I intended to.‘There was never a reason too.’‘What when we found Zara and Sierra? It would have been nice to know I actually have a better chance of protecting her.’‘If it had been needed, I would have let us tap into the strength and power we have, but it has not been necessary just yet.’‘How can you say that? With everything going on?’‘Because as long she is with us, I won’t eve
LIAMIt was a close call. When Aiden got up, the power and strength coming from him surprised even me for a second. And I had to use the help from Shadow to hold him back and make him submit. Zeus is, without doubt a powerful wolf, stronger than I thought. But I will worry about that later. This sad excuse of a wolf thinks he has some claim on Zara, but he is dead wrong.“I am sure you understand now that Zara won’t be going anywhere with you, nor will you ever have any right or claim to anything. You mistreated and abused for years and let that sad excuse of a wolf rape a young girl. How you can even call yourself a wolf is beyond me.” I say, glaring. Loud laughter makes me look at Samson.“My little Zara will always be mine, just as I took that sweet little pussy of hers.” He says disgusting me. Aiden, or rather Zeus, growls but before he can stand up, Xander flies out of his chair and down to Samson, that is on h
