Zira’s POV One more meeting and we were going to be on our way to the human city. Just the thought of seeing the way the world looked outside of Eliza had my heart racing.I had barely slept all night regardless of how much Ronan had tried to talk me out of worrying. Eventually, he ended up having me tired enough that I slept off as soon as we were done.My body heated up within me while Blue stirred to the thoughts of what our mate had done with us in the late hours of last night. But right now, every of my emotion was back in full. My heart was pounding with anticipation, my hands were shaking with excitement, and my mind was racing with all the possibilities that lay ahead. There was also some part of me that was a little bit nervous about leaving Eliza for a week. In the human city, we would be all alone and without any fighting support. So much could happen. And as much as Ronan believed otherwise, I couldn’t stop myself. “Let’s go to the garden,” I told Laura, standing up
Zira’s POVThe man chuckled and his eyes moved to settle on me again. “You have yet to introduce us,” he said with a smile that had goosebumps rising on my skin. Ronan’s eyes met with mine and immediately sent warmth flowing through my veins. “Zira, this is Antoine, he’s my third brother, he manages most of the kingdom’s dealings with other kingdoms and other species so he is hardly around,” Ronan introduced calmly and I took the arm that Antoine stretched at me.“I heard about your beauty as soon as I arrived back in Eliza. It seems like this time, I have to say, the rumors do have some credibility,” his words were praising and hard to read meaning into, but the gaze that was on me made me a little unsettled. However, I kept my emotions in check and took his hands. “Perhaps, that’s a charm that comes with being their Queen, it’s nothing special.” “Ah! An excellent queen,” Antoine praised as he let go of my hands. I heaved a silent sigh in relief. “It’s no wonder why my second b
Zira’s POVAfter missing what Ronan said was the secret security point, I didn’t want to miss anything else so I leaned against his chest and kept my gaze fastened to the scenery outside the car. The car sped along the grassy covered routes that looked like it hadn’t been passed in a while. Ronan’s arms were still snaked around my waist, and it felt like he was pulling me closer into his embrace with every passing second. The car came to a slow stop at the same time as the cars ahead and behind us. In some of the movies we had seen from the human world, they would often do scenes like this with the use of technology while we could easily achieve the same thing with our mind link.“Why…” the words I was about to say were cut off by Ronan. “We cannot take the fleet of cars outside here as it would be too attention-grabbing, so from here, it would be just you and me,” “What if someone tries to attack us like the other day?” I asked, looking at the more than forty men that had now s
Paris, France. Zira’s POV We drove through the human city at full speed and Ronan only slowed down when he got to busy places with many people moving around. It was fascinating to see how they lived, and how couples stopped on the road to share a kiss. I was definitely going to try that with Ronan. My phone dinged with a notification as Ronan turned into another corner. Laura: Most of the Palace ladies are having a meeting now, they have invited some of the elite ladies that used to compete to be Queen. My smile froze as I saw the message. What exactly were these women trying to do? “They are probably just trying to devise a way to get another woman into my chambers. Someone that would work for them,” Ronan replied startling me. “You know I can read your mind if I want to? And you getting a text that leaves your expression like that, is one of those times I certainly have to.” His face had a wry side smile while his eyes glinted with concern. “I think I’ll need like a year d
Zira’s POVThe mansion was even more beautiful when we entered and I fell in love with it at first sight.I didn’t know all of Paris but I had some conviction that there was no way some regular hotel could beat this. A little part of me was surprised, after all, having a house like this in the normal world was a little far-fetched. As soon as Dany, Ronan turned to me with a teasing and knowing grin on his face. “Spit it out!” He said, crossing his arms around his chest. Standing right in front of me, Ronan’s 6:5ft made my five feet and eight inches look very tiny. “Spit what out?” I replied with a shrug and just like him, I wrapped my arms around myself. Two could play this game. After what seemed like two minutes, Ronan sighed and released his arm. “I have a company here, it would make no sense if I have no home address as that would raise brows..” he paused, his eyes searching my face for some emotion I had no idea. “..I have some other properties too so that things wouldn’t
Zira’s POV “Ronan…” I mumbled as he wrapped his palm around my face. “That’s exactly why it’s you, Zira.” “I brought you here, so that if one day, you get tired of everything about being in Eliza. If you get tired of being Queen…” he paused, closing his eyes as he took in a deep breath. “I want you to know that there’s a whole world out here for us. That we can be happy and safe.” Tears rolled from my eyes as he finished. We shifters have never been lone creatures. We weren’t humans that could survive staying all alone or wandering about. Being with our pack was one of the biggest and best experiences for us. And that was why, despite being stronger, we would decide to hide away from humans because we wanted each person to be safe more than we wanted power. Certainly, there would be some exceptions, but they were hardly successful as the larger population all wanted to stay back, safe with all their family and pack members. “Ronan, you don’t have to think like that.”
Ronan’s POV Despite how much I was looking forward to making breakfast with Zira and living like a normal couple, there were more urgent matters to handle and so after placing a kiss on her forehead, I forced myself to pull away. With her wild hair from last night laid out on the pillow, and that flawless appearance, I didn’t even need the mate bond to fall in love with the perfection that Zira was. I looked away, standing up from the bed because I was sure that one more second here, and my self-control was going to fly through the roof. Zira was still sleeping by the time I came out from the shower, all of those rounds last night must have certainly tired her out. “Good morning, Mr. Welter,” Dany greeted me as soon as I stepped out the doors. “Have you prepared all the materials?” I asked, hiding my displeasure at attending this meeting.“Everything is ready, we should be there two minutes before the meeting starts,” he paused and looked at the iPad he was holding. “Judging fr
Ronan's POV“Do you mean that the government wants us to spend money and time trying to figure out if the things in movies and books exist?” A man thundered from the end of the meeting room and several people murmured to show that they agreed with his words.“The United States launched this order two years ago and they are currently doing all they can to find them.” The man paused, looking at the lady that was beside him.“Not just that, the important part is that at this point, all of their research results have reason to point that these other creatures exist here on earth.” The lady added.“The financial pocket of their country is nothing compared to what we have here! If they somehow exist with us, there’s no reason to find them out since they aren’t causing any harm to our race.” Jason spoke up, his face set in a fixed scowl that showed that he genuinely didn’t like the idea of what was happening.“Unfortunately, this is the order from the government.”I cleared my throat, attrac
RONAN’s POV"Zira ...I have said this before but I am so madly in love with you that sometimes, I just don't know what to do at all. I don't want to lose you. I want...I want to spend the rest of my life with you!" I told her. Zira smiled. She teared up a little but then laughed and shook her head. "I. I love you too, Ronan, more than you can ever imagine. I love you so much."My heart swelled. I had never felt this happy in my entire life. "You've just made me the happiest man in this life."Zira laughed, then leaned closer to me, staring at me straight in the eye and then at my lips. "Do you want a kid?" She asked with a sensual whisper.I smiled, but I was stunned by her words. "What?""A boy or a girl?" Zira whispered, biting down her lower lips as I tightened my grip on her waist."Both?" I asked, raising a brow."You sure?" Zira asked."Four?" I asked with wide eyes, and Zira burst into laughter."Are you being serious right now?" She asked."Well, you asked first, so yes," I
RONAN’s POVI ignored him and turned to Keith. "As for you, Keith, you are banished to Alva. You are never to leave there for the rest of your life, and if you do, I will kill you!". I said to Keith. Keith sneered at me. "Don't think that you won because you are the strongest Ronan! You only won because you hated our father and didn't let him affect your life!"Keith sneered at me."Yes! It's only because you stayed away from him! Otherwise, you would have ended up like this! You are no different from us!" Lucan told me. I shook my head at their reasoning. "You are right. I hated our father. And wanted nothing to do with him. But you see, I am not here just because I stayed away from me. I am here because I strived hard not to be like him. I hated that man and wanted nothing to do with him, and I made sure to make changes in my life. The rest of you just decided to take the wrong path! You deserve this!" I said.....It took me the entire day to deal with all of the remaining issues
RONAN’s POVI walked over to Miles, preparing to fight with him. I hated it when he said that I was not fit to be the Alpha and I wanted to prove to him and everyone else that it was a lie. "You don't have to do this, Ronan! He is just trying to rile you up on purpose! Don't fall for his trap! Miles already lost, but he doesn't want to admit that he has lost!" Zira called out to me. I knew that this could be a trap, but I am past the stage of caring at this point. I need to put him in his place. It was a long and hard fight between the both of us, and at some point, I thought that I was going to lose, but then I managed to knock Miles out. He tried to get him, but I pinned him to the ground, breaking one of his legs and then ending the fight with me as the winner. Miles glared hatefully at me, probably because he knew that he had lost. I am now the winner, and there is just nothing that he can do about that. I leaned in closer to him and whispered, "Do you now believe that I am
ZIRA’s POVMiles glared at Ronan, and I could tell that he was shocked and upset to see that Ronan was back. I was feeling a whole lot of emotions watching Ronan. I wanted to jump into his arms and hug him, I wanted to yell to everyone that doubted me that I wasn't wrong. I said that he was alive, and he really did come back alive. But I did not have the time to do any of this. Right now, there's a war in front of us. A war that we were starting to lose.A guard tried to attack me from behind, but I immediately turned and kicked him away from me. There were tears in my eyes as I fought out with the guard. I was happy and sad at the same time, and the tears just kept flowing. "Ronan, you should have just died! Everything was going perfectly fine! We had a good thing going on! Why did you have to come back?!" Miles yelled at Ronan. Ronan smirked as he approached him. "A good thing? Miles, you are just a thief who wants what doesn't belong to you. You were never supposed to sit on th
ZIRA’s POVMartha shook her head. "I didn't see it myself because I was too scared of going in," she said. "I think that we should give it a try, Kyle. We can never know," Peter said. Kyle sighed. "Fine. We are going to check. I just hope that it's there" Kyle said and the both of them left together."I just hope that they find it. We will be able to defeat Miles then," I said. Mom glared at me. "Can't you just leave this alone? Do you have to go this far?" She asked me. I nodded my head. "I have to go this far, Mom. I just can't ignore it. I can't ignore what he's done! He's controlling the Entire Kingdom! Everything in this Kingdom will be destroyed in just two years if we don't stop Miles now!" I said. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. "Mom, I trust that Kyle and Peter are going to find the spell. The spell is going to be broken soon, and there's going to be a war. I am not going to walk away from it. I just need to know if the both of you are going to help me!" I
ZIRA’s POVA spell that made it impossible for everyone to either shift or use their abilities! I laughed to myself. If Miles thought that this was going to stop me, then he had better think again. The good thing was, I knew this spell, and I knew how to break it. But first, I have to find my cousins and tell them about it. They need to know what is going on! .....I entered Maria's room and saw my mom pacing around the room. She glared at me as soon as I walked in. "I almost thought that you weren't going to come back! Why can't you just listen to me? No matter what I tell you, you have already told yourself that you're not going to listen no matter what! What is wrong with you?" She asked me. I wasn't in the mood to listen to her scoldings. "Do you know where Kyle and Peter are right now? I need to tell them something!" I said. I haven't seen him since they said they were going to take care of Antoine on their own. "Are you even listening to me? Miles could find you, and then
ZIRA’s POV"I am tired of falling about this Maria. I am not going to leave, and that's it!" I said. I was upset listening to her talk, so I walked out of the room. "Where do you think you're going, Zira? What did I tell you about staying away from Miles? Don't you listen to anything that I say at all?" She asked me. I pretended not to hear anything that she said and walked out. I know that I will have to see Miles and confront him myself at some point. I just can't keep running away from it. I have to face it. .....I was standing facing the palace's garden when I felt someone walking up to me. My heart was beating fast against my chest. I already knew who it was without turning back. It was as if I was waiting for this moment. "Who are you?" He asked. I turned to face Miles with a big smile on my face. "Are you surprised to see me?" I asked him. If my mom or Maria could see me right now, they are going to say that I am looking for death, but I know that I just can't ignore
ZIRA’s POVI turned to face my mom and frowned. No matter what they tell me, I am not going to believe that Ronan is dead. I know that he's not dead because I can still feel the mate bond between us. If I could not feel the pull, then I'd accept that he is indeed dead, but as for now, I can still feel as if he's alive, so there's no way that I am going to accept what they are telling me. "Are you even listening to me right now?! Zira! You have to leave! Miles is the one in charge now! He's not going to let you leave if he finds out that you are still alive! Are you sure that you want to take that chance?" My mother asked me. "Mom, I already told you. I am not going to leave. I have to at least wait for the full moon festival," I said. "Why do you have to wait for the full moon festival....don't tell me that you think he is still alive?! Zira! You need to stop being delusional! He's no longer alive! They killed him! Ronan is not coming back! I know that this is a lot for you to tak
ZIRA’s POVWe walked back into the city to realise that everything had changed. Antoine and his guards were still in my cousin's custody. My mother and I decided to go back to the palace to find out what had happened while we were away. Immediately we entered the palace, we went to look for Martha. She huffed me immediately when she saw me. "Zira! I thought I had lost you! I thought that I would never see you again! Thank you so much for coming back! Thank you!" She said to me, I hugged her back because I was happy to see her. "I thought that Antoine had won, but my mother and cousins showed up. I am just happy to be back!" I said excitedly. "I am just happy that you came back! The Kingdom...the Kingdom is not what it was when Ronan was alive. Everything.... everything has changed!" Martha said. "What has changed? I could feel as if the Kingdom was in trouble when I walked in. Everything was just quiet!" I said. Martha nodded her head. "Yes.. that is because it has changed. M
