ADRIAN'S POVThe cool air of the morning greeted me as I stepped out of my bedroom and made my way to the balcony. The sun was shining brightly, casting a golden glow over everything. The world outside my balcony seemed to be coming alive with birds chirping, and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze.I stood on my balcony for a while before walking back into my room. I entered my bathroom to have a warm bath and I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as I turned on the warm water for my bath. The steam from the water filled the room, creating a misty, almost dreamlike atmosphere. I undressed and stepped into the tub, immersing myself in the warm water. The heat enveloped my body, easing the tension in my muscles and making me feel more awake – it felt good.I closed my eyes and let myself relax for a moment, enjoying the warmth and the peacefulness of the morning. I let my mind wander, thinking about the day ahead and what it might hold. After a few minutes, I opened my eyes and
A FEW MOMENTS LATERAfter I offered Zayn a seat in my room, we both sat down to discuss everything that had gone wrong."I know I was being an idiot," Zayn said and shook his head. "But I was just so frustrated with everything that was going on. I didn't mean to take it out on you. I'm sorry for speaking so disrespectfully to you and in public too, forgive me, bro.""I understand," I said, nodding. "But you know that you can always talk to me if you need to vent, right? I'm your best friend and I'm here for you no matter what. You are the only dumbass I love."Zayn smiled at me, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thanks, man. That means a lot to me."Honestly, I love this guy – I wish I was into guys, I would have just chosen him to be my mate, my real mate of course not a fake one. We sat in silence for a moment, both lost in our thoughts. But then, Zayn cleared his throat and spoke up again."So, what do you say we put this all behind us and move forward? I don't want to lose you as m
ADRIAN'S POVThe room was filled with the sound of silence, after the contest I held had just ended – it was a total mess, a total waste of time and resources!! I sat on my luxurious couch, feeling defeated and frustrated. The contest, which I had organized to find my fake mate had ended in utter failure. The females who had come to participate had all been driven out, and I was left alone with my thoughts and Zayn of course. I screamed out in anger, telling them all to get out of my room. My voice echoed through the halls, as I tried to get rid of my anger. I called out to the maid, ordering her to bring me the strongest alcoholic drink available. I wanted to calm down and forget about the failed contest and the disappointment that came with it.As I sat in my room drinking, trying to forget the events that had just transpired, I heard a knock on the door. I hesitated for a moment, wondering who could be disturbing me at this time. I reluctantly got up from the couch and walked to th
ADRIAN'S POV I held Zayn back to stop him from leaving the room. He had been getting on my nerves recently and I am not one to let things slide. How dare he call me a fool?? What did I do to be called a fool?? I didn't claim Eva as a mate or did I? I was asked to accept her as my mate. Was he too dumb to understand that?"How dare you call me a fool??" I thundered at him again and held the collar of his shirt.Zayn abruptly turned and threw a strong punch on the left side of my face, much to my surprise. My face!! My charming looks!! I couldn't believe what had just happened as I sought to feel my face with both hands. Did Zayn just punch me??! This jerk had the guts to lay his filthy Omega hands on me after calling me a fool. I'd deal with him since I enjoy being cruel anyway. He struck me hard on the opposite side of my face with a second blow before I had time to recover from the first one and that did it. I will tear him apart!!"Are you mad??? What has gotten into you?!! Are you
EVA'S POVAs I woke up stretching and yawning, I took a moment to fully awaken from the remnants of my slumber. The sun was shining brightly outside, and I could see a small sliver of light filtering through the small opening in my curtains. I sat up on my bed with a wide smile spreading across my face as I remembered the dream I had just had.I stood up slowly from my bed and walked towards the windows, trying to get a glimpse of how the morning looked. I gazed out of my windows and saw a glittering coating of frost covering the earth as the sun rose over the horizon like a dazzling globe of fire. The crisp, chilly air was invigorating, filling my lungs with its freshness. The stillness of the morning was broken only by the occasional chirping of birds and the crunch of leaves underfoot. I stood still and closed my eyes as I replayed the dream in my head. It was a dream about Adrian, the fucking love of my life!! The man I always wanted to be with forever. In my dream, we were alone
EVA'S POVAfter the mating ceremony was over, it was time for me to bid my parents goodbye. I was meant to stay with Adrian that night to be able to consummate our mating even if he was still nowhere to be found – only the goddess knew where he was. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I cried as soon as my mom hugged me tightly, I felt really bad – I was going to miss her terribly but there was no going back now. The mating ceremony was done and I had a mate now, a new family, so I thought. I didn't know that I would feel this bad to see my parents leave, especially my mom. I was crying profusely like a little child when they got to the car and announced that they would be on their way. I had lived with my parents all my life so this felt so strange. "I'm going to miss you, my sweet girl." My mom whispered to me as she held me closely once again."Me too mom. Me too." I muttered. I didn't care if I was being looked upon by the crowd that was there – I cried out like it was the last tim
A FEW MOMENTS LATERAdrian talked with whoever it was for a long while before he finally banged the door shut and walked slowly back to his seat with his eyes fixated on again. I wondered what was going on in his mind and what he and his friend had whispered about – honestly I was worried. There was something about the way he was staring at me and it made me feel uneasy. I decided to put on my acting skills because I had to get out of there. I wasn't comfortable - I had to do something, anything to get out.Immediately, I wiped the worry off my face and began to smile. Remember that I was still dressed in my slinky, form-fitting gown that hugged my curves in all the right places. I was still looking sexy but with a worried expression on my face so I just had to pretend to be happy for my plan to work. What's the plan? Well, the plan was to seduce Adrian so that he could take me out of this musty dark room. So I stared intently at him with a hint of a smile playing on my lips. The ligh
ZAYN'S POVI searched for Eva after she left the ceremony ground all of a sudden. The celebration was still in full swing, with people dancing and laughing here and there, and the air was filled with the sound of melodious music and the smell of delicious food. But for me, all of that was just background noise as I focused all of my energy on finding Eva after she disappeared suddenly.I spotted her a while ago when she was standing alone by a corner in the celebration ground and she looked lost in her thoughts – she looked anxious. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her but I felt a surge of relief wash over me immediately I set my eyes on her. She looked so beautiful throughout the entire ceremony and I couldn't get my eyes off her. The way she glided gracefully into the room with a vision of ethereal beauty in her elegant attire. The soft fabric of her beautiful dress flowed like liquid gold around her curves as it shimmered under the warm lights of the ceremony. Her hair was
EVA’S POVI had been preparing for war ever since I received the letter from Zayn. My heart was beating fast as I adjusted my warrior's wear, making sure everything was in place. Alpha Desmond stood beside me, he was ready for the fight.I couldn't attack Zayn's pack first, not knowing where they were located. But that didn't stop me from training every day, pushing myself to my limits. I had to be ready for anything.As I looked outside my room's window, I could see my pack members getting ready for battle. Some were sharpening their swords, while others were checking their bows and arrows. I could sense the tension in the air, the anticipation of what was to come.Alpha Desmond placed a hand on my shoulder, his voice deep and reassuring. "We're ready for this, Eva. Just remember to stay focused and stay alive."I nodded, taking a deep breath and trying to calm my nerves. I couldn't let my fear get the best of me, not today.As I stepped out onto the courtyard, my heart was pounding
ZAYN'S POVAs I watched the informant scurry away, I caught sight of a Beta wearing a hoodie with the Bahki emblem. And I knew instantly that he was sent by Eva.I could feel my blood boiling with anger. She had the guts to send someone to spy on me, to try and gather information about my well-being.The Beta came up to me confidently and spoke, telling me to follow him quietly, along with Roy. He threatened me, saying that he would have no choice but to wound me aggressively if I didn't comply.I chuckled at his audacity. Did he really think he could intimidate me? Funny guy indeed.I decided to teach him a lesson, to show him who was in charge. I challenged him to a duel, and he accepted without a single thought, his eyes gleaming with confidence.We fought fiercely, our movements were fluid and precise. But I was stronger and more skilled, and soon I had the upper hand. I could see the fear in his eyes as I closed in on him, the blade of my sword poised to strike.With one swift bl
ZAYN’S POVThe cheers of my pack members filled the air as I stood over the fallen body of the Alpha. I had done it. I had defeated him, killed him, and taken his place as the new leader of the pack. It was a moment of triumph, one that filled me with pride and joy.The pack members gathered around me, clapping me on the back, and congratulating me on my victory. I felt a sense of gratitude wash over me, knowing that I couldn't have done it without their support and encouragement.But suddenly the pain hit me, a sharp, burning pain that shot through my fingers. I tried to hide it, to keep the others from noticing, but they could tell that something was wrong. They were all staring at me with concern and worry etched on their faces.Some persons came forward, offering to help me, to take me to my room. I knew I needed to act fast, to keep everyone from seeing the poison that was inside my fingers. So when they carefully aided me and brought me to my room, I gave orders for them to lea
ZAYN’S POVA few years had passed and I had finally found a pack I could call mine, and we had grown strong and fierce together. We trained together every day, pushing ourselves to be the best we could be. Even my son, yes Roy, had grown up to be a handsome young boy, and I was proud to call him my son.As I and Roy trained together every day, I could see the determination in his eyes. He was always eager to learn, always eager to improve. And I was happy to be the one to teach him. It was my wish for him to grow up to be a strong and competent man, just like I was.I trained with Roy and the pack every day until I began to feel a desire burning deep within me. I wanted more than just to belong to the pack and train – I developed the urge to challenge the Alpha of the pack, to prove that I was strong enough to be an Alpha as well. And so because of my desire, I trained harder, pushing myself to be the best I could be.I could feel the love of my pack members and I knew that I had thei
EVA’S POVAs I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, memories of that fateful night came flooding back. The night I fled from my pack, searching for the aura that had intoxicated me. It seemed like a long time ago, but I remembered it like it was yesterday.I closed my eyes and let my mind wander back to that night. I remembered the way the moonlight had filtered through the trees, casting shadows on the forest floor. The cool breeze had brushed against my skin, and I had felt alive.I recalled how I had stumbled upon Zayn. He had been washing himself in the river, looking handsome and breathtaking. I had been so surprised to see him there, but I had felt drawn to him.I recalled the good memories we created in such a short time together. I had felt a connection with him, a bond that I had not felt in a very long time. It was like he had understood me, like he had seen through all my pretences and defences.As I lay there, remembering everything, I couldn't help but smile. It had bee
ZAYN’S POVI awakened and quietly sat up, I didn't want to wake Eva up. I was feeling utterly betrayed as I watched her sleep peacefully on the rocking chair after breaking my heart with her hurtful words.My heart sank. She really didn't care about me at all. Her reason for wanting to leave was stupid!! Just because I was an Omega. It felt like there was a crushing weight on my chest, and I couldn't breathe.I always thought we were deeply in love, that our bond was unbreakable. But I guess I was wrong. Eva had no qualms about leaving me behind, she was ready to leave me to bear the brunt of the hurt alone.I couldn't help but wonder if I was ever truly loved by her. Did she only stay with me because she thought I was an Alpha? The thought made me sick to my stomach. I felt like a fool for trusting her with my heart.I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to spill, but it was a futile effort. One escaped, then another. And before I knew it, I was sobbing like a little girl un
EVA’S POVWhen we arrived at the hut, I couldn't help but notice how Zayn had dashed away from the beast.I stood there for a moment, trying to catch my breath as I patted Roy to sleep.Zayn was panting heavily beside me, his eyes filled with fear. He seemed so shaken up, so scared. And I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in him. I mean, I could have just taken on that beast without so much as batting an eyelid, and here he was, acting like a frightened child.I tried to push those thoughts aside and decided to focus on what mattered but I couldn't. I needed to know more about Zayn's werewolf rank.I cautiously approached him. "Zayn, what rank are you in the wolves?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm and level.Zayn looked at me, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice shaky."I mean, what's your rank? Alpha? Beta? Omega?" I pressed.Zayn hesitated for a moment before answering. "I'm an Omega," he said finally, his voice bare
ZAYN’S POVI trudged along the dirt path, my heart heavy with sadness. My feet carried me to the river, a place where I often went when I needed to clear my head. The sound of the water rushing past the rocks was soothing to my troubled mind. I sank onto the grassy bank, my eyes fixed on the water. I couldn't help but think of Eva and the baby.My thoughts were consumed with her and the fact that she now had a child for Adrian. I just couldn't believe it. I was terrified. I feared that the baby would become a barrier between us, preventing us from sharing a future together. As I sat there, my mind racing with worry, I suddenly realized that Eva had not said anything to me about not wanting to be with me. If this baby was going to be an issue, she would have told me right away. I let out a deep sigh. I loved Eva more than anything in this world, and I was determined to make our relationship work no matter what. I gazed out at the water once again, my eyes fixed on the ripples danci
ZAYN'S POVI knew what I had to do as soon as I noticed that Eva had been bitten by a snake and the poison was coursing through her veins. I could see fear in her eyes, and I knew that time was running out. I had to act fast.I felt a surge of adrenaline as I ran out of the hut and into the forest, my heart pounding in my chest. As I ran, my mind raced with thoughts of a type of herbal leaf that cures snake bites.The leaves were the only thing that could save her at that moment so I had to find them.I darted around trees and dodged through bushes. And after what felt like an eternity, I finally found the leaves. My heart swelled with relief as I plucked them from the ground.I sprinted back to the hut with the leaves clenched tightly in my hand. Eva was barely conscious when I reached her and her breaths were shallow and labored.I knelt beside her and took a deep breath. I had to be calm and focused.I took out the leaves and crushed them between my fingers, the sweet scent of the
