Shutting my eyes and awaiting my fate, a tear slid down my cheek.

"You have to fight, Zanna," Tia urged in my head, but the man tightened his grip around my body, almost squashing my insides.

Just as I awaited death, my ears perked up at alert when I heard the distant sound of something swishing in the air at great speed.

"Ugh!" My attacker groaned, and I could feel the muscles in his stomach clench as he eased his grip around me.

A frown creased my brows, and the fear of looking at death in its eyes caused me to keep my eyes shut. But they popped open when a thud sounded from behind me–my attacker's huge body crashed to the ground.

"What's going on?" I asked in my head, horror caging my heart.

With terror in my bones, I glanced down to see his fidgeting body beside my feet. His eyes rolled skyward, leaving only the white of his eyes in display–his sclera. A long arrow protruded from the side of his head with fresh blood gurgling out of the wound.

    "We have to try and make them believe you're Tia Moon," Tia said in my head once Jayven left. "We can't risk having you come off as an imposter." I pressed my lips together, staring into nothingness. My heart constricted a little at the fact that I couldn't exactly be myself, but act like a certain Alpha of a pack. "Hey, on the bright side of things, you're the Alpha, and you have the power to make an implement rules. Everyone bows to you, unlike when you were an omega," Tia stated, trying to lighten my mood. I nodded, finding sense in what she had just said. There was a slight knock, and then the doorknob twisted. I lifted my head, taking sight of Jayven and the doctor. "Hello, Alpha Tia Moon," the doctor beamed, and even if he had a face mask on, I could tell he was smiling because the sides of his eyes crinkled in delight. "How do you feel today?" I nodded, offering him a small smile. He pulled out the stethoscope from around his neck and wore it to listen to my he

    I was lost in a maze of unanswered questions as I watched the retreating maid. Images of Vyn having these same facial expressions at the hospital when I had asked for some cold water flashed in my head. "Tia, is it a taboo to request for a cold glass of water?" I inquired, feeling uneasy. "No, it's not. Everyone knows that I prefer a room temperature glass of water," Tia revealed, and I opened my mouth in silent realization. "Why are you just telling me this?" I questioned and then added, "How am I supposed to pretend I like drinking a glass of water that isn't cold?""You'll get used to it. Tough luck, honey," Tia said, and I thinned my lips. I headed straight to the restroom, accepting that this was what fate had in store for me. I freshened up, returning to a glass of water sitting on the vanity mirror with a sticky note beside the cup.I inched closer to it and scanned through the note. "Hi, I know you are still recovering, but turn around and make a choice." I read out lou

    The door behind me creaked open, and I glanced over my shoulder to see a few maids and guards, flooding into the room. "What's going on?" The ginger-haired man that had hugged Vyn earlier, asked, his hand already gripping the head of his sword. I returned my gaze to my front, watching as Vyn tried to pry the cub off my dress, but the little tiger was adamant. It growled and pulled harder. A loud, sharp tear echoed through the air, and with wide open eyes, I tried to pull myself back, earning more tears that exposed my bare thighs. "Calm down. He wouldn't bite you. He's still a cub. The more you struggle, the more he attacks," Tia advised, but I wasn't buying it. "Did the cub tell you he wouldn't bite me?" I asked Tia, watching as Vyn and ginger-haired man pried the cub off of me. Tia snorted, "You have no idea what suspicions you've brought upon yourself." I blocked Tia out, pushing her to the back of my mind. I didn't want to hear anything else from her. My heart

    He sat beside me, eyeing me with skepticism. "Are you okay?" I nodded, feeling my heart constrict with anxiety. "I'm sorry about the cub. I should have left you to get better before bringing such a surprise to you," Vyn apologized, and I was flabbergasted. I thought I blew my cover. Another knock on the door, and I could sense that it was Lana. Giving her permission to come in, she entered with a tray of food. "Since we couldn't get to the best part of the surprise, I decided to bring it here," Vyn said. I caught myself smiling, and I thinned my lips immediately into a neutral expression. Vyn was a charmer, but no, I wouldn't let there be a second Richard. "Stop restricting yourself. Answer the call of the mating bond and that of your heart. Vyn is a good man," Tia said. "I don't think he trusts me. He looks at me with suspicion," I replied back, staring at Vyn, watching him uncover the plates. My mouth watered at the sight of rice, filled in a wide plate and chicken curry s

    I juddered, spinning to face him. "Er, hi," I simpered, waving awkwardly at him as I tried to stand properly. "No, what? No. I was..." I trailed off, racking my head for the perfect excuse to give him. "...I wasn't–I am not learning how to fight again. You know I haven't gotten much of my mobility back since I was in a coma for a month." Vyn crossed his arms against his chest, narrowing his eyes into slivers of scrutiny. His jaw grew taut, and the expression in his eyes showed that he wasn't buying what I was saying... yet. "I also thought it'd be fun to learn again. You know the excitement that comes with learning something you love," I explained, turning back to my reflection. I took the stance of a fighter in a battlefield, waiting to lunge at his or her opponent. After a moment's silence, he spoke. "It will be an honour for me to teach you then. Hopefully, I can help you regain your mobility back." I eyed him through the mirror, nodding enthusiastically. With his

    My body shook, and I could feel nothing but blind terror. I swallowed her in a bid to push down the lump that had grown in my throat. "What–what do you mean by who I am?" I struggled to speak because his fingers gripped my neck tight, almost restricting my inflow of oxygen. "Answer me," he snapped, his teeth still jammed together. Vyn's face was flushed with anger, glowing a bright shade of red. Fat veins throbbed in his temples, conveying just how agitated he was. Furiously, I tapped on his hand, tears brimming in my eyes as he gripped my neck tighter. I was going to grow unconscious if he didn't let go. "P–please," I stammered, gasping for air. "I can't breathe. I'm going to die–die if you keep doing this." "Then speak up before you die," he said with a low growl. I tapped furiously with ragged breathings. Vyn eased his grip around my neck, but his fingers still clutched my neck like a bracelet. "I can't b–breathe," I gasped, and he completely let go of my neck. "Now, spea

    "What's going in?" I asked, and Vyn released his hold on me. "Some kind of dispute," Slade answered with a grim expression. He shifted his weight to one of his feet and rubbed the back of his neck. "Majority of the pack members are outside, chanting." "Chanting?" I repeated, trying to wrap my head around what he was saying. Vyn and I shared a concerned look, both of our brows knitted into a deep frown. Vyn picked up the television remote, turning down the volume. Their muffled voices filtered into the room, prompting Vyn to turn off the television. "Do you have an idea of what this is about?" I asked Slade, and he shook his head with a hint of apprehension in his eyes. "But they seem really displeased," Slade revealed. "Tia, do you have an idea of what is going on?" I inquired, and she replied with nothing but silence, which reflected the uncertainty she felt. I headed towards the door with a gnawing feeling in my stomach. Slade stepped aside, holding the door open for me.Once

    Once I stepped into my room, it enveloped me in a comfortable and warm silence. A sigh of relief mixed with weariness slipped out of my lips, and I kicked off my training shoes. Trailing my eyes to the bed, it invited me, and I accepted its offer, plopping down on it. The tension that had intertwined my muscles dissipated, and the pain from today's practice seeped into my joints. I groaned, burying my face in my pillow. Today was one hell of a roller coaster. I still hadn't recovered from Vyn's attack after he figured it wasn't me. "That was really a close one," Tia sighed, and I agreed with her. "We have to be more careful from now on. We might not be so lucky next time." "You still haven't told me the things I should know about you to avoid such clumsy mistakes," I said, thinking of how to get off this bed and head to the restroom. I needed to shower. "Yeah, that's true. We can do that under the shower," she responded, finally giving me the motivation to rise from my bed. I ho

    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

    JAYVEN’S POVMy legs bounced around, and I gripped my thighs to calm my nerves. Slade and I were in the meeting room, going over our rotation plan. We made the decision to enhance the security after the incident with the humans building on our land. The rotation was a new plan so we revised on it every month, going over what we could do better and the areas where we were doing well. Our guard set up seemed to be working fine aside a few.“What’s the issue with Gomez and Shaw?” I asked Slade, frowning at the notes he had made. “I thought they had gotten over whatever was wrong. Is there a problem I am not aware of?”Slade sighed, “They say they have gotten over what they refuse to talk about, but I don’t think they’re a great fit. We’re rotating so there’s no problem if we pair them with other people.”“You think Gomez fits right with Sarah?” I raised my brow. “Gomez is a six-foot beta with a huge stick up his ass and Sarah is one of our few Omegas who has shown great strength in our

    Zanna/Tia’s PoVFor someone who refused to get married, I was everywhere at once trying to spearhead the preparations for our big day. Jayven didn’t mind leaving this part to me, but I suspected he didn’t want me dragging him around town to taste cake and wine.Lyra was my companion for the day, and she followed me quietly, nodding at the things I said I liked without giving her input. Her attitude was strange, and Tia growled in my head several times when I caught her watching me. Weird“I don’t like her” Tia growled, stomping the floors of my mind. “She makes my hair stand on edge.”“She hasn’t done anything to warrant my suspicion.” I said calmly. “She has been watching me since we left the pack, like she’s expecting something to happen.”“The old Tia, which is yours, truly would never spare her a second glance, and there was no way in hell I would have allowed her to replace Dina.”I hummed. “Alphas are very particular about who they allow in their space and who they keep in their

    TIA’S POVTia laughed like a hyena in my head, wheezing like a broken engine. “Are you kneeling in front of our mate?! Oh my goddess, look at his face.”Jayven’s face and neck were red, and I noticed the people staring our way. “Shut up Tia! I’m mortified as it is, what was I thinking? I don’t even have a ring.”“You don’t have a ring?! That’s the biggest problem here?” Tia rolled on her back, filling my head with her mocking laughter. “You’re proposing to our mate in front of a hundred guests and a non-existent ring is your problem?”“I hate you.” I blocked her taunting voice, and focused on our mate who hadn’t said a word.“Jayven, if you’re going to reject me, I would like to be told early because this position isn’t easy to maintain and everyone is looking at us.”As if snapped out of his thoughts, Jayven jerked, lifting me up by my arm. “I should be the one proposing to you, not the other way round.”“I didn’t know you were a sexist.” I wrinkled my nose, keeping my eyes on the st

    Zanna/Tia's PoVJayven and I had been invited to the Black Moon pack’s annual grand ball. It felt weird to say ‘ball’ as if we were in the eighteenth century, but the Luna of the Black Moon pack was an eccentric young lady who liked hosting things like this.It was usually a five hour journey if we drove and about two if we travelled in our wolf skin. No one wanted to arrive at a party sweaty and smelly, so we sat through the longer drive.I stared out of the window, painfully aware of the man taking up space beside me. Jayven was as quiet as I was, focused on whatever he was doing on his phone.We hadn’t spoken properly after I told him I didn’t want to get married, and Tia hadn’t shut up about it in my head.“Now you’re giving me attention? How unbecoming of the little omega” She wailed dramatically, raising her head from her paws. “If I didn’t know any better, I would have said you weren’t ignoring me”“I was.” I admitted. “You weren’t ready to give me a listening ear, and I didn’t

    Tia/Zanna's povWe were both seated at the study, and he didn't seem to be paying attention to what I was working on. However, Vyn sat opposite me. He had a look of severity on his face, and he seemed to be observing my facial expression. "You know you shouldn't have approached him that way, right? He meant no harm, and you know it. You overreacted," I spoke, breaking the silence. He raised his brows, and a confused look furrowed his forehead. "Overreacted?" He questioned, and when I raised my eyes and gave him a glance, he sighed."You're right, but you should understand that I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing this for us. I don't want to lose you," he expressed his heart."Well, I understand your concerns, but it's just a harmless gift, Vyn." "Harmless? You call that harmless. Are you kidding me?" He stood up and paced around, running his hands through his hair. I had a feeling he was unstable, but I decided to watch him."You're calling a romantic gesture harmless, Tia?
