Chapter 66
Zoey POV
I woke up with Emma crying loudly and checked that it was seven in the morning. I lifted the little baby girl in my arms and rocked her to silence her cries before placing her on the bed. I then grabbed a diaper and changed her diaper before picking up her again and making my way downstairs.
I searched for baby milk formula but couldn’t find it and grew worried. Emma needed milk first thing in the morning or else she would wail loudly in hunger till you give her milk. When I couldn’t find the milk formula after rounding the kitchen twice, I decided to ask Sam to get one from the nearby store which was half an hour drive from here.
“Sam, can you please come here?” I yelled for him to come into the kitchen.
“Why are you screaming? Her cries are enough to make my ears bleed, I don’t need you to add more to my misery.” He said in an irritated voice.
Just from his reply I knew, h
Chapter 67Sara POVFor a year, I have been searching for Alex’s mate non-stop but we never found her. The search has made me busy enough to not think about other things much but I still do think about Samson every day. I haven’t gotten enough time to allow myself to have a good cry but it’s somehow manageable. Everyone around me is very worried for Alex and I can understand why.Alex is their Alpha; their leader and he is close to loosing control. Most trackers would go back to their families once in a while. I, on the other hand, just visited the pack twice and that was for the new plans.Lucas and I have grown close just like before I left for three years. And it feels good to have my twin back. As for Alex, we all are hoping to find Zoey soon. Since we already searched all the cities, it was about time that we start looking in towns.I was currently in a city again, searching for Zoey. We still have few more plac
Chapter 68Alexander POVI woke up with sweat beads forming on my forehead while my breath came in uneven pants. My eyes on the other hand took in my surroundings while I tried to remind myself that it’s just a nightmare. ‘You there, Adrian?’ I asked in my head to connect with my wolf.‘I’m, Alex. Sorry, I can’t control these nightmares.’ He apologized.I shook my head and got up from the bed before making my way to the bathroom. ‘It’s not your fault. We are going to a township area tomorrow. I’m hoping it would cheer us up.’ I spoke while washing my face with the cold water.‘I hope so. It’s been a year since we felt like ourselves.’ He added while pacing in my head.‘I know and I’m trying to change that. Anyways, I’m going to check up on the pack.’ I reminded him and he retreated back in my mind with a nod.I decided to take a
Chapter 69Alexander POVI woke up from the ringing of my phone and my mind went numb. I didn’t wake up because of a nightmare but with the loud ringing of my phone. A small smile graced my lips as I thought about how this new setting was already helping me.I snapped out of my thoughts when my phone rang again and picked it up to see it was from the company. It took me an hour to get done with the call since there was a problem in the documents and they were to be changed before signing and I had to go through every line myself to make sure that nothing is left out.I stood up from my bed and made my way to take a shower while putting my phone on charge. The shower didn’t last long since I was hurrying a bit as we had to visit the town too and finalize a location before trying to buy that land without any problems.I was wearing my suit jacket when a knock resounded in my silent room. I made my way to the door while buttoning my grey s
Chapter 70Zoey POVI woke up from the doorbell ringing and looked beside me to see Emma sleeping peacefully. I shook my head and exited my bedroom before climbing down the stairs to open the door. All this while I kept trying to think who might be on the door? It was way too early for someone to visit me and nobody exactly visited Sam’s place because he is so closed off.I reached the threshold when the bell rang again and thought the person on the other side is quite impatient. I slowly opened the door with a vase held tight in my hand that I picked from the living room on my way. I was surprised when I came face to face with a shocked Emily who was staring at the vase with wide eyes.“My god, Em. You scared the living hell out of me. I thought it’s someone I don’t know.” I exclaimed while opening the door wide for her to enter.“I thought to give you a surprise but seems like I am the one who got
Chapter 71Alexander POVLucas accelerated the car way past the speed limit but I was not even paying attention to the speedometer because at this moment nothing mattered to me other than Zoey. Adrian has gone silent in my head because he can’t understand what to do just like me.Our instinct told us to protect her from everything and hide her from everyone around us but the rational part kept reminding me that she needs medical attention and I can’t just take her away. As I was busy staring at Zoey’s face, Lucas slammed the break of the car and I looked up to ask him what happened when he began speaking. “We are here, hurry.”I nodded without uttering a word and got out of the car with Zoey in my arms. Lucas followed my actions and we rushed inside the hospital while people around us paused whatever they were doing and stared at us.I rushed to the emergency care unit and called for a nurse with impatience. A woman in
Chapter 72Alexander POVDad stood right in front of the threshold with a worried expression on his face and I nodded at him in acknowledgment before almost running to the infirmary. I knew Lucas and our dads were following me but I didn’t turn around to acknowledge that fact.As I reached the infirmary area, my eyes instantly spotted Mia standing in front of the VIP area with Mark beside her. When her eyes spotted us, she straightened and had a determined look on her face and I knew she won’t disappoint me.“Please, lay our Luna on the bed, Alpha,” Mia spoke when I was close enough and I nodded.I entered the white hospital room and laid Zoey on the bed softly and brushed the small strands away from her face. Mia followed behind me closely while instructing Mark to prepare syringes for her blood samples.“You would need to wait outside Alpha. I need to do a thorough check-up and It would be extremely hard in yo
Chapter 73Zoey POVMy eyes felt heavy when I tried to open them and I felt warmth surrounding me which made me even more curious. After struggling for some minutes, I opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling above me. The last time I checked, Sam’s interior was the lightest shade of grey and not white.My eyebrows furrowed a bit while I tried to remember the last thing, I did but nothing came to me. After a few seconds, I heard a clearing of the throat and realized someone is present in the room with me. My head instantly turned in the direction of the sound and I came face to face with Xander. The man who has been on my mind for a year now.“Xander” I unconsciously whispered while gazing at his pools of honey-brown eyes.His eyes closed when I whispered his name and it felt like I was living in a dream and maybe I was. Without thinking twice, I lifted my hand and pinched myself to confirm if it’s a dream and unfortunately, I
Chapter 74Zoey POVI stared at Xander while he sat in front of me with his hands folded together. I was trying to comprehend his words but somehow nothing made sense apart from the fact that he wanted me. I was like a high school girl for a few seconds where I was internally screaming how it is almost impossible. He was flawless in every aspect while I was just so normal.As the words slipped in my head, I noticed his eyes had bags at this moment and he looked tired as if he hasn’t slept for days. There was something strange about him this time, he looked as if he had not been taking care of himself and I internally scoffed at my thoughts.How can I be so sure? Maybe he was busy with his work and that’s why he couldn’t sleep. However, all this reasoning was set aside in my head while I tried to soothe the ache in my chest which arose the moment, I realized he is not taking care of himself.Unknowingly, my hand moved up and reache

Chapter 82Sara POVI walked into the silent packhouse and noticed most of the wolves have gone for training while the rest were busy in cooking. Since I had been wearing scent suppressors for the whole trip, nobody took a notice of my presence.Not wanting to alert everyone about my presence, I made my way to the top floor to meet Alex and his mate. I was just about to knock on his door when I heard my twin’s voice echoing in the silent hallway.“He’s in the infirmary with Zoey.”I turned around and nodded before walking to Lucas and giving him a hug like our usual greeting before asking him, “How have you been?”He pulled away from me and grinned. “I’m better now that Alex has found his mate.”I nodded at him and spoke, “I’ll check up on him and then see you later.”Lucas smiled and stepped aside for me while I walked to the elevator to reach the infirmar
Chapter 81Alexander POVI tightened my hold on Zoey firmly and pulled her in my embrace before asking, “What’s wrong baby?”Zoey just shook her head and continued to revel in my embrace but didn’t answer my question. I knew it won’t be easy to get her to open up to me about the matter since she was not even uttering a Yes or No. I rubbed my hand on her back and felt her relax in my arms before patting her head in a loving gesture and whispered, “IF you won’t tell me then I won’t know baby. Tell me what’s bothering you?”Zoey didn’t move a muscle at my question and I sighed knowing she doesn’t want to answer. I decided to drop the matter when her almost inaudible voice reached my ears. “I feel like a slut for jumping on you the first moment I got.”Her words were like a reality check to me and I closed my eyes for a second before saying, “You are no slut
Chapter 80Third person POVAlexander kissed Zoey with all the passion he had while she responded just as fiercely, unknowingly craving his touch more than ever. She arched her back further while moaning out loud when Alexander nibbed on her lower lip and groaned when he felt her hard nipples rubbing on his chest through the thin hospital gown, she was wearing.At one point, Alexander felt the need to let her breathe because he could hear her heartbeat slowing down a bit. He let go of her swollen lips and moved to her jaw and neck. He didn’t stop to let her collect herself and soon she was moaning with a new passion as he sucked on her neck where his mark is supposed to be.He smiled smugly when he discovered her sweet spot and began scraping his canines on the area and felt her clutch his shirt tightly while trying to arch her back more. Once he was sure, he had given her enough time to fill her lungs, he again went to her lips and kissed her softl
Chapter 79Alexander POV“Xander, it’s not like I don’t want you. I do, it’s just that I don’t want to be heartbroken.” I heard Zoey’s words and found myself smiling at her but I couldn’t bring myself to say a word.So, I did what I had wanted to do ever since she woke up. I pulled her in my lap and felt her body on mine. There were tingles everywhere our skin came in contact and I could hear her heartbeat like mine as it sped synching with mine.I stared in her blue eyes and got lost in them without another thought while she did the same. My arms wrapped around her waist in a possessive hold and brought her closer to me while not blinking my eyes as I was scared to miss her reaction.She had been just staring at me without any protest and I knew it was now or never. I leaned down slowly, giving her the time to back out from the awaiting kiss but she closed her eyes and craned her neck in my direction
Chapter 78Zoey POVMy heartbeat raced as I laid beside Xander whose arms are still holding me tightly. He has asked me on a date some time ago and after that, we both have been laying silently in each other’s embrace. His embrace was like a protecting shield keeping me away from all the sadness and stress.I was busy reveling in his embrace when suddenly Emma’s face flashed in front of my eyes and I shot up from the bed with panic all over my face. Xander followed my lead and looked at my distressed state with concern. “Is everything alright?” He asked softly.I shook my head and turned to him, “No, Emily would be worried for me. She would have already gone nuts by now, I need to call her.” I told him and he had a confused expression on his face but nevertheless, he nodded.He then got off the bed and walked to the glass table and picked up his phone and came back. He handed me the phone and took h
Chapter 77Third-person POVAlexander and Zoey slept while holding on to each other for dear life and their faces gave away the peace they were experiencing in each other’s arms. Even the most oblivious person could see that they were craving each other like a fish for water.At some point, they both were hugging each other with their limbs tangled together and had small smiles on their faces which reflected the peace they were feeling. It was hours later when Zoey woke up tangled in Alexander’s arms and looked up to see that he was still sleeping.Her eyes took in his every single detail just like the last time but the difference this time was, she knew what happened before they slept this time and she also knew who was the man sleeping beside her. After almost staring at him for a good ten minutes, Zoey used her hand to trace an imaginary line on his cheek and lips while her heart raced as she felt those delicious tingles on the surface of h
Chapter 76Alexander POVEver since Zoey woke up, I had been the happiest man alive. The fact that she calls me Xander is a whole another level of happiness. I can’t believe she remembers me and the name she gave me. Then there is this broken look on her face every time she talks about my marriage and wife and it hurt me to watch her this sad.I wanted to tell her everything about my kind then and there so that she would know that she’s the only woman made for me, the one who would be the death of me. But I couldn’t tell her that just yet because she already had so much to take in and this added information would only burden her.When I had told her that I am not married, the happiness on her face was out of the world and I knew why she left without her telling me. But as soon as I told her I divorced my wife that happiness vanished away and guilt covered her face.I had to tell her that it wasn’t her fault and so much more,
Chapter 75Sara POVA big smile reached my lips when I received Lucas’s mind-link telling me that they found Zoey. I was relieved that we finally found Zoey because watching Alexander suffer was not easy. He was my best friend and one of the most loving people I have in my life and it sucks to watch him suffer.We were heading back to the pack at this moment while the rest of the teams were also returning from the places they were supposed to be searching for Zoey. We were somewhere in the woods heading towards the pack when one of the team leaders mind-linked me.The whole group paused when I halted after I received the mind link. They found the Rogue we have been looking for years and instantly I knew I wanted to be a part of this. I informed all the teams about the rogue and they all were ready to go for another search but I knew they also need to rest and have a life apart from this constant search.I told them to head back with me for no
