Jayven's PoVMy brows fused into a deep frown when I saw that miscreant behind Wendy. She stood like a good girl, holding her hands and resting them against her thighs with her head angled towards the tiles.I clenched my jaw, feeling my skin crawl just by the sight of Lyra. I looked away from her, now glueing my eyes to Wendy. "What replacement?" Tia and I chorused. We shared a glance before looking back at Wendy, who had a fearful expression on her face. "Sir, you asked me to replace the Alpha's previous personal maid," Wendy answered with a voice that was barely above a whisper. "Why?" Tia asked, and I could feel her gaze burning the side of my face. "Did she do something wrong?""No," I responded, turning to face her. "She is currently ill and wouldn't be able to tend to your needs, so I asked Wendy to get a new maid." "Oh," Tia said and then averted her gaze to Lyra, standing timidly behind Wendy. "Come on out, girl."Slowly, Lyra stepped out from behind Wendy, still keeping
Zanna/Tia Moon's PoVI watched Vyn's retreating figure, wondering why he had appeared to be upset with my new maid. I squinted an eye, thoughts reeled about in my head. Wendy offered me a curt bow and walked out of my room two minutes after Vyn left, leaving me with the new girl. She had the prettiest shade of golden skin I had ever seen, and her curls rested atop her shoulders. "What's your name?" I inquired, lying on my side and scanning her. "Lyra," She answered, and I hummed, unsure of what else to ask her. "Okay," I said and waved a hand at her. "You may leave. I'll call you when I need you." "I was meant to..." she trailed off, lifting her head. Once she met my gaze, she hastily lowered it, probably feeling overwhelmed because of the Alpha aura that evolved out of me. "... stay here with you until night time.""Why?" I questioned, furrowing my forehead in disapproval. "Orders from beta Jayven," She answered in a silvery voice. "Okay, that's fine, but I order you as the A
A few days later, I was seated on the bed with the doctor running a quick check on my vitals. "Everything is fine," the doctor said, pulling the stethoscope from his ears, letting it hang around his neck. "Your shoulder will be back to new in no time. It's a good thing that it wasn't infected. Try to keep it clean as much as you can to avoid getting any sort of infection." Vyn nodded behind him, craning his neck to see what the doctor was doing. "I'll need you to pull her zipper down a little, Lyra," the doctor said, adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Why?" Vyn was quick to ask with a tinge of overprotectiveness in his voice as he stepped forward with a stern look on his face. "Oh, for nothing illegal. I just want to clean her wound," the doctor responded with his hands up in surrender. Vyn moved back, and I pressed my lips together, concealing a small smile. His actions made my heart flutter. It was so good to see a man act so protective of me. Richard, on the ot
I grew giddy, watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon, which had been buttered with golden hues. I rested my elbow on the window sill, admiring how the sky looked like it had been set ablaze. "Would you prefer this?" Lyra asked from behind me, cutting off my self-induced trance. I turned, eyeing the blue T-shirt and jeans she held in one hand. "Er, yes. As long as the pants don't restrict most of my movements," I said, wearing a small smile. "You seem excited," Lyra asked, and then added, "Would you like to share your happiness with me?" "Well," I clasped my hands together, happy that someone was offering listening ears. "Vyn said he got a–""What are you doing, Zanna?" Tia inquired, sounding stern. "You shouldn't be having small talks with her. I never did that.""Oh, dear. I'm sorry, I thought..." I sighed in my head and then scrunched up my face. "Shouldn't you be folding my closet?" I asked Lyra, pressing my lips in a thin line."Sorry, Alpha Moon," Lyra said, offerin
."... Have you?" Tia inquired. "Of course, I've not had sex with Vyn," I responded."Then you should. You're missing out on something good," Tia teased, and a warm feeling spread up my cheeking. My stomach knotted, and the thought of having him slide in and out of me made my throat dry. I scratched my neck, heaving a glass of orange juice off the mat to take a sip. "No wine?" I asked, studying the glass cup with a slight frown on my face. "Oh, I'm saving that for when we hit the club," he said, positioning himself behind me so I could rest my back on his chest. A smile graced my lips, and I leaned against him, twirling the orange goodness around my taste buds. We sat in comfortable silence for a while, but it soon began to make me feel uneasy. I felt his body passing a sad current to mine. I angled my head upwards, beholding his face, which was void of every pleasant emotion. He had a distant look in his eyes that told a sad story that broke my heart even before I could hear i
We headed straight to the entrance, and immediately, the scent of sweaty and horny humans swarmed into my nose. I wrinkled my nose when I perceived both negative and positive energy from them. The door was pulled open by a man I assumed was the security guard. Vyn dropped his hand from my waist and took the lead, interlocking fingers with me. The moment we stepped in, loud music hit me, filling my ears with rhythm and bass. The club was dimly lit with disco balls changing from one colour to the other. The smell of alcohol wafted into my nose, and a few people glanced our way. We walked past the dance floor, and I noticed two girls dancing with a man. They seemed happy, but the brunette was jealous of the redhead, and all I could get from her were negative vibes that sent a prickle of unease down my spine. I looked away, now glancing ahead of me. Approaching a bar, where round tables with people sitting and getting wasted were situated. "What would you two like to have?" The barte
I dashed my foot against a stone, feeling the pain spiderweb its way up my toes. I groaned as I lost balance and almost fell forward, but Richard's calloused palm gripped her wrist while wrapping his free hand around my waist. My skin crawled with disgust and annoyance at the contact of a betrayal's skin against mine. My chest burned with anger, and I could also feel it simmering underneath my skin. "Get away from me!" I growled, palming his chest and pushing him away. "Alpha Tia," Richard called, and I could see hurt flashing in his eyes at my rejection. "It is me, Richard.""And so fucking what?" I asked, narrowing my eyes into slivers of contempt. "I don't give two shits about who you are."I held two wobbly fingers in the air, trying to stand straight as the intoxication messed up with me. "You're drunk. Let me take you back to the pack. Are you here alone?" Richard asked with concern laced in his tone. I shook my head vigorously, rejecting his help. "I don't need you or you
My pulse raced, and I dreaded the spinning to face to her. Fear gripped me, and I felt sick in my stomach. "Oh. Hi, honey." Richard's eyes softened, and he opened his arms, motioning for her to join him. She materialized beside him with her back turned against me. Richard wrapped his arms around her, and she melted into his embrace. I froze to a spot, watching Richard plaster a kiss on her forehead, asking her if everything was fine with her. I gritted my teeth, clenching my fists in annoyance. Richard never spoke, held, or acted this way with me when I was alive in my body. "Yes, I saw you from over the roof and figured you were in an argument," She said, now pulling away from his hug and tilting up her head to view his face. "Who is she? Is she a customer who got wronged?" I noticed she had gained some amount of weight as I studied her back. My eyes raced down her blue dress that stopped just above the back of her knees. Her legs were a lot bigger, and her feet were swollen. W
Zanna's povI was still pleasing with Jayven. He didn't want me to leave the pack house even for a little while. I wanted to have fun. I wanted to at least spend one last time as a spinster. It was crazy, and I loved it.Besides, I was old enough to handle myself. I didn't like the face that he was treating me as though I was a baby."Come on, please... How do you expect me to actually think about it this way? I have told you I can handle myself, but you keep saying no. I am a grown woman!" "And my to be wife. Why can't you have your girl's night here. Why must it be at the club were you all would drink, and dance. It's like going for a midnight party. Come on!" No words were said, but I was forced to smile. My heart drummed like crazy and I didn't even know what to do about it."Listen to me. All I did was to protect you, and I'll keep on doing that. If I can't do that, then I'm not sure I'm a good person. Am I?""I'm telling you this as your mate I love you too, and will do anythi
Zanna/Tia's PoV"He sent flowers again?" I asked Lyra, fusing my brows into a frown. She nodded, blinking rapidly as her eyes roamed around the place as if she sought something in particular. "Yes, and your mate destroyed them as usual," Lyra said. "Who could be sending these flowers, Tia?" I asked in my head, sucking on my bottom lip. "They don't even leave a clue, so finding the person's identity is quite difficult." "I have no idea. Could it maybe be Richard or the human?" Tia asked, and I shook my head, resting my hands on my hips. "I doubt the human would want to get on Vyn's bad side. It can't be him," I answered and then noticed Lyra still stood, peering at me with inquisitive eyes. "Is there a problem?" I asked, angling my head to her direction. "Is Vyn still agitated?" "I don't know where it is, but there is something I have to show you," Lyra said with urgency in her voice and eyes. "What may that be?" I asked, frowning deeper than I was. "Follow me, I can't show yo
Zanna's povI flashed open my eyes but paused when I didn't see Vyn close to me. I was stunned, wondering where he had gone. We had great sex last night, and I must have been so tired out. I stood up from the bed, and immediately tried to put on a gown to cover my body. However, as soon as I did, a knock followed, causing me to furrow my brows."Who's there?" I asked, and sighed when I heard a familiar voice."Come in," I expressed, and once Lyra showed her face, she lowered her head, greeting me."Good morning alpha. How are you doing? I'm so sorry about what happened. I know I did the wrong thing last night. I just..." She trailed. "Please forgive me."She didn't even let me answer her greetings before asking for my forgiveness. This was something I didn't expect from her. Infact, she was always this way. I smiled, trying my best to picture everything. I felt like I just needed time to understand everything that was happening.Maybe she meant no harm with her question. "Alright.
Tia's povI laid down there, and watched him stare into my eyes."Fuck, you look so pretty. I wanna rip this lingerie off you right now." "Then don't hold back. I want that too, more than anything. I know you understand what I mean."He stared at me, still smiling before leaning in closely. His eyes showed the kind of love he had for me, but something in him seemed like he wanted to have me right here and now."Fuck!" He captured my lips, and kissed me. From passionate, it turned into rough, and painful, but in a good way. I wrapped my hands around his chest, and I immediately found myself smiling. I knew there was no way it was going to be possible. It wasn't possible for me to escape his love tonight. I ignored the fire, and we both were going to feel the burn."Mmm..." My moans came out as purrs, and I found myself being more aroused."Your moans excite me in a good way. I would love to hear you moan more," his deep voice echoed in my ears, and I closed my eyes, trying to catch
Jayven's pov.I walked into the room and noticed Tia on the bed. She was looking ravishing in her sexy red lingerie, but she seemed to be in thoughts because her eyes were up towards the ceiling.I furrowed my brows, walking slowly towards where she was, and she still seemed to be quiet. She was deep in thoughts, but her left leg was raised, revealing her thighs which made me feel extra needy."Tia?" I called, and she immediately turned her face towards where I stood. I furrowed my brows, but as soon as she set her eyes on me, she immediately sat up, wearing a smile to cover her thought filled expression I noticed earlier."Vyn, your back!" She exclaimed, and I nodded, but then she bit her lower lip, pressing her lip afterwards."Um, I'm so sorry. I didn't notice when you came in. I was..." "In thought?" I asked, and she nodded gently. "Well, what are you thinking about?" I tried to inquire, but stopped when she came out of the end and walked towards where I was.However, I lifted
Tia's pov.I was in high spirit. The sun slowly started to come down, and I found myself smiling over everything. Well, why wouldn't I? I was waiting for Vyn to return so I could show him the little surprised I had planned for him.I bit my lips just thinking about it. Well, I was actually preparing for a lot of things. I knew there was a need for things to fall back in place. Well, for a while, I was still thinking about what to do before I stood up.I knew he was shaken to return home, and that was why I stated to get ready. I got into the shower and made sure to take a clean bath using scented soups because I wanted him to understand that I wasn't here to play. I wanted him tonight.Once out of the bath, I moved towards my closet and pulled out the lingerie I had bought specially. I wanted him to see me on me, and wow. I wanted to see his eyes pop out of his socket."I'm sure he'll go crazy. Trust me, I know that," i explained and smiled. I didn't even know what to say about it. I
Jayven's povI looked around, my heart drumming. Something seemed off, there was definitely another presence here, and something told me it was not my kind. I felt strange, and the scent was different.My eyes studied the path the shadow followed, and I found myself already going in that path. My heart raced as I ran, sweat forming on my forehead. Whatever it was wasn't a werewolf.It was some kind of were-animal, but it was running so fast that I couldn't notice it."Are you sure you don't know what that is?" My wolf asked as we ran. However, I was more focused on catching it first.I wanted to know what it was doing at the border,and I needed to find a way to get some truth out of whoever it was.Its structure seemed like a werewolf but it was not. However, I didn't give you hope. I was going to run as fast as I could and make sure I caught up to him. The race was becoming harder with him going in-between trees to block my path. Yet I wasn't bothered.Suddenly, I found a way to int
Jayven's povMy eyes widened, confusion spreading across my face. What the hell was going on, and what did the woman mean by our baby?Was my hearing bad, or did I hear what the old lady said correctly? This was something I didn't quite understand.My heart drummed, but I could only turn to Lyra. She was the only one that could have said some to make the woman think that way.Without thinking twice, I grabbed her arm, and pulled her away to where no one would be able to hear us even if it wasn't so far away. She was going to explain to me why her grandmother thought I was the father of her baby. Was she even pregnant? "What did she mean by our child? What the hell is going on, what did you--"She rested her hands on my shoulder, eyes staring into mine with a playful smile on her lips. "Relax..." She sighed. Her smile didn't fade but I was waiting for an explanation. "Relax. I'm not pregnant... Yet. But I will be soon enough," She explained."Shut the fuck up! No one is getting to ha
Jayven’s PoV“What the fuck are you doing here?” I snarled. “Don’t you have better things to do than stalk me all day?”Lyra bit back a smile. “I know you would love to hear me say I am stalking you, but this time I am not. I want to go pick up my grandmother from the border.”I cursed, pinching the bridge of my nose. I knew I was missing something in the meeting, now I was stuck with Lyra. Slade would have gladly offered to take my place if he was here, but he was busy and I didn’t want to bother him with my problems.“I had no idea your grandmother was coming. There are other pack members who will be going to the border, if you wait-”“I’m sorry but you’re not getting out of this so easy.” Lyra smiled. “The Beta is supposed to escort us to the border, if he’s not available, another higher ranked wolf is supposed to protect us.”“There is no threat that you need protecting from.” I grinded my teeth together, desperately trying to find the best way to get out of this situation, “I can
