82. I Won't Let You Die, Mate Zach's POV"Mate? Did I hear it correctly!" Conor asked while the others stared at me, waiting for me to say something.But I was too perturbed to open my mouth. I'd thought I was a mateless wolf. There was no partner assigned to me by the Moon goddess. I was free to select my mate and be happy.As I felt the beat of my heart getting extremely wild, the warm feeling of finding a soul mate rushed in. My wolf groaned. He whimpered and said that our mate was hurt. His whimpers turned to cries and he insisted that I look for her quickly."Alpha!" I peered up at Nathan and his uneasy facade.Sweat formed on his forehead and he dared to look away at the truck he brought. The one filled with girls. My eyes followed, making the others look in the same direction. My heart galloped wilder now as I realized my mate was in the truck. Suddenly my eyes blurred out with tears emerging from feeling her pain. I was hesitant to see her in a bad condition. Although I was
83. His mate is in a critical condition Zach's POV When I arrived at the hospital, a bunch of doctors rushed in to help my mate. She was put up on a gurney and taken inside an operation theatre. I stood there staring at the closed door of the OT when a doctor approached me. His eyes expressed concern as he said, "Alpha, please come with me." I just wanted my mate to be safe. Hence, I asked the doctor to go into the operation theatre and work with other doctors to treat her. But no words came out of my mouth. I felt my hands shiver and as I looked at myself, I saw blood that was streaming down my legs and onto the floor. Everything began to blur out. The doctor was there then he was not. The brightness was there then it was a cloud of darkness that took over my vision. I heard the doctor scream for ward boys as his arms wrapped around me. I was in my senses when they loaded me on another gurney and took me into another operation theatre until a stinging pain crawled into my righ
84. So close yet so far Jade's POVI felt stuck in a pipe, closed from all the sides and suffocating. To top it all, the heat that I felt in my body made my mind blank and the words on the screen of my laptop danced like bees moving around frantically.My eyes stung from all the new secrets I unearthed in every new article I read regarding Stanley Archibald. The man proved that idiom we have grown up hearing-- A wolf in a sheep's clothing. Indeed he was a wolf, infecting and betraying the society with a fake mask put on.Ever since I came out of Archibald's house that day after catching a glimpse of my mother, I haven't taken a single breath of relief. I couldn't sleep well, thinking about how my mother ended up in his house. I had no doubts that it was her. And considering the greed and cruelty of my father, I was confident that he had a hand behind my mother ending up in this werewolf realm.He might have sold her and faked her death. When greed couldn't control itself, he sought o
85. I don't care about Jade! Jade's POVWhat the hell is wrong with Zach! I checked my phone again and paced my room as I tried not to lose my shit. He hasn't left his room since he arrived. Everyone and anyone that needs his attention has to go to his room where he'd heed them. It's for everyone but me.I've tried three times and each time I was told he's busy. If this goes on then I would not be able to tell him about my mother any time soon. I need to find a way to reach him. Leaving my room I went to Nathan's. The door was open and he was sorting some kind of papers. "Nathan," He looked up instantly and gave me a small smile. "Jade, come inside." Weariness had etched lines on his face, like a map revealing the journey of his fatigue. I returned his smile and thought about an excuse that would help me meet Zach faster. I couldn't grasp any.So I told the truth, "I want to meet Zach today, Nathan. It's important. It has something to do with my mother, who I thought was dead.""
86. Orphan again Jade's POVAll the good times we spent together flooded my senses like a waterfall cascading down a mountainside. I was living in a fairytale, forgetting my past and my reality. I thought I could have a future with an alpha male. Oh, how stupid I was! Zach masterly fooled me and I let him to. I failed to look beyond his infecting smiles. The touches were so enticing I forgot we were enemies. He hated me and my guts. Zach intended to bring me to my knees. But he knew I was too smugly determined to do it. So he chose the easiest way. The treacherous way. He was certain I wouldn't kneel if it wasn't for blowing him! For pleasuring him. The memories of the time I had gone to my knees for him twisted my solar plexus, leaving me with a nauseating feeling. I bit into the cushion of my bottom lip until it bled. I madly wiped my arms off. My face as well as my bleeding mouth to remove his touch. But what about the memories?How would I remove him from there? Or his touch
87. Finally we met, Mate Zach's POV Damn it! I sent the laptop and other stuff including files and folders catapulting in the air where they lingered animatedly for about a second and came crashing down on the floor with a loud boom. Dropping my head in my hands, I squeezed my eyes shut as I tried to erase that look of remorse I had seen in Jade's eyes. I knew she would take a toll on me. Her gaze would make it a lot harder than it already was, which is why I decided to avoid her. But I hadn't expected to meet her moist eyes like I did thirty minutes ago. It was for a fleeting second before the door closed. But the impact it left on me was catastrophic. I had no idea that she was waiting outside. That stupid Nathan would tag her along, and leave her waiting while he entered my room to request me to listen to her problem and her with it. I was already in shreds due to Gianna's faltering condition. She had severe internal bleeding. Her spleen was damaged and the doctor had to remo
88. Panic attack Zach's POV A small breath burst on her trembling lips. She bit them reluctantly and tried to raise herself from the bed. "No, don’t do that. You are not strong enough to support yourself to sit." She smiled still, "I want to be able to... To look into your eyes when we talk." I sighed. She was attempting to make this not be awkward. I wanted to tell her that nothing about this was awkward. But maybe her hard nipples from our touch and her shivers made her skin crawl. I didn't protest and helped her slant the bed so she could face me without straining her body. She pulled the white thin sheet on her chest with a wince and forced a smile, "Thank you." I watched her face. She had become pallid. Veins like the intricate distribution of branches on a bald tree filled every part on her skin and eyelids. Her whites were now reddish yellow. I couldn't stop brushing my hand on her forehead, hoping to make the lines disappear. "Luke told me you wished to see me." She sh
89. Souvenir Zach's POVSomething hit me in the chest when I met Gianna's gaze. She seemed like a different person now. Like half dead. Gone was the woman I was talking with. Now she appeared so frail and weak that she would slip into the pit of death if she so much as tried to suck another breath. "Zach," She spoke my name in the barest of whisper, her face a mess of sweat and teetering muscles. "Bow down." I only stared at her as I heard that, all the wrong thoughts whirling in my head. When I didn't move a muscle, her cold fingers grabbed my face. I held back my breathing as she lowered my face down until our foreheads touched. I opened my mouth to counter and also scolded her to cooperate. But then, seeing her lips so close the urge to kiss her replaced all my thoughts. Before I acted on the desire, she spoke again in the same weak barely-audible tone, "Close your eyes, Zach." As I obeyed, I saw a cloud of white smoke unfurl in my mind. Then it took shape... Of people. Of Gi
Unholy Allies #2: Mr. Rogue King, Can You Kidnap Me Please? Blurb: Kathrine Raynott I was barely three when my father, Alpha Lincoln, sold me off to a sixty year old bastard to settle his debts. All these years I've tried all that it takes to escape Alpha Lincoln's hell-like mansion. I have one last time to try ten minutes before my twenty-first birthday party begins. And this time I managed to escape... Except in a sack with a handkerchief around my mouth and eyes blindfolded... Kidnapped! Rogue Cordiero A businessman in the daylight and the Bratva boss in the night, I live a life I have written for myself. And they fear to conduct business with me as I hate being cheated. So when a foolish Alpha tries it with me, I'm determined to take back what's mine along with his daughter. She's gorgeous. Eleven years younger but a seductress that's got my eyes hooked to her little body. She's a fighter.... I like fighters! The only problem is that... She's been sold and she's bee
134. HEA: The Savage Alpha claimed his Rebel Last Chapter Jade's POV Inching his face up, he bruised my collarbone with a red bite as his devilish eyes dared me to moan. Bloody Asshole Alpha. He was challenging me. I wouldn't mind doing it, but I was afraid he would really open the door. Zach could do it. He's done many things he said before and I was not stupid that I would try it just to see how it would really end up if I moaned. I gripped my mouth tighter as I was close. Breathing hard, I whimpered. Zach glared at me again as he gestured to me to not do that either. Bloody control freak. He curled his fingers deeper as something quivered in my gut and exploded. "Nice control, Jade Salvay. I didn't expect you to..." He kneaded my breasts and spanked them. "Hold it so long!" He then lowered his mouth to clean my pussy off the evidence of my strong orgasm while I rested back on the seat like a beaten up pup. When Zach was done, he put my panties in place and patted my cli
133. They're married Jade's POV"I do." The happiness in my voice echoed in the room as I answered the priest's question.He then turned to Zach and asked the same question to him, "Alpha Zach Salvay, do you take Jade Thornton to be your wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?" "I do... With all my heart." Warmth spiraled within me when he announced that in a loud and clear voice that echoed off the walls.Then we exchanged the rings. When Zach slipped the ring onto my finger, my mouth parted in amazement. It twinkled on my finger like a star in the sky. Zach lifted my hand and kissed it. The glint in his eyes and the hoots increasing behind us indicated that we were pronounced as husband and wife, and it was time that Zach should kiss his bride. He held my waist possessively, and as I was looking at him, he pulled me closer and put his lips on
132. Misunderstanding cleared Zach's POV When I stirred to consciousness, a pang of pain shot through my chest. I hissed and remained still until the pain reduced. Sucking in a deep gulp of oxygen, I tried to get up. Surprise held me immobile as my nostrils flared with Jade's alluring scent and my eyes stalled on her beautiful face. She was sleeping soundly with her head resting on her hand that was put on the edge of the bed I was spread over. I blinked my eyes and moved my aching shoulder. The electrocuting pain confirmed that I was not dreaming. Jade was as real as the pain from the bullet punctures in my chest. Although in other cases, after waking up I went after the people who harmed me. In this case, I didn't care who was behind it or for what reason they had to shoot me. I had Jade here sitting on a stool, in a very fucking uncomfortable position, right by my side. Having her here beside me is all I would ever ask for. And if such attacks are able to bring her closer to m
131. Mom will never go again Jade's POV"Zach!!!" I ran to him as he collapsed on his back. Redness soaked his black t-shirt and three visible bullet wounds pooled like little ponds with overflowing blood.His father growled like a mad beast and jumped out of the car. Curses spilled from his mouth as he shifted into a werewolf, so big and tall that my eyes widened in fright, and ran after the speeding up van. "Zach," His name resounded dreadful on my lips as I sat next to him. Seeing his oozing blood, I began to hyperventilate. A raw and primitive grief overwhelmed me. My fingers shook as I held his face. It was cold... Like the face of a dead corpse would feel. He spurted blood out of his mouth and a haywire occurred in my system. Even then there was a smirk on his face. "You still care for me, Jade." The corners of his mouth quivered before he passed out on a gasp. I felt my heart plummeting in my stomach. I screamed as loudly as I could and within minutes the school's staff
130. Jade knows the truth Jade's POV My eyes lingered on the date carved on the headstone. The date of her death. It was the same when I concluded that Zach cheated on me and decided to take the matters of my mother's death's revenge in my own hands.I can't forget that date. It's etched in my mind.I blinked my eyes and averted my eyes towards Alpha Zavier's face, "This is... Gianna... She is dead? But Zach... His mate. And Lelah," My mind was blacking out. I rubbed a trembling hand on my face, "Lelah is not his daughter?" A painful smile danced on his shaking lips. He slowly shook his head left and right, "Lelah is Gianna and her husband Richie's daughter. He's resting over there." I fearfully followed the direction of his pointing finger. My breathing fractured as I laid my eyes on the grave next to Gianna's. The headstone has the name, Richard Donovan, and the epitaph below it read: An obedient son, loving husband, a devoted father. "Gianna already had a family before she me
129. Meeting Gianna I didn't sleep the whole night for two reasons. One I didn't want to get into that bed again. I was afraid Zach might sneak into my room to touch me. Second because my stomach was growling and I didn't have the guts to go out and grab some food from the kitchen.It's not like I was not offered any food. Zach came in with a trolley full of food I would have loved to dig in. Then Katie too came to visit me followed by Jenna. Chris and Vicky didn't stay behind in the line as they came to see me with chocolates and junk food that I politely refused as I asked some privacy of my own. While they were happy to see me, I was not even one bit happy about any of this. I sat by the window doing nothing but stare at the dark sky. Although I think I saw Zach smoke back to back cigarettes while he was standing out in the open and discussing something with his father, he could die for all I cared. It was his lungs and if he wanted to spoil them by puffing ten cigarettes in one
128. Jade wants to leave?! Jade's POV I didn't know when I fell asleep. But when I woke up again, I had Zach lying next to me and his fingers playing with my hair. I flinched away from him and got out of the bed. "What are you doing here?" My gaze fell on the sky outside the window. "I was waiting for you to wake up. You didn't come to lunch, dad. It's dinner time now." It was pitch black. I didn't realize I didn't wake up for hours. Zade wasn't in the room either. Panic began to rise up within me for not having him around. "He's with Lelah in their room." Zach said. Their room? As if he read my thoughts, he got up and closed the gap between and added, "They've decided to share a room together and Nathan modified it within a few hours as per their requirements." I moved a few steps away so he couldn't lay his hands on me. Sweeping a gaze around the room, I realized the clothes were gone too. "I took care of your closet." Zach walked towards it and slid the door aside
127. Zade's time in the mansion Jade's POV"Welcome back to your room again, Jade." Ice spread through me as I gawked at the interior of the room that used to be mine when I lived here.It was in the same condition. Nothing changed. From the hangings I used to decorate the room to the curtains of my choice, they were still intact."You must be surprised seeing everything as it is." He removed the curtains from the huge window. "Zach never let anyone change anything in your room. He would clean it with his own hands except for today." I preferred to stay quiet and took baby steps towards the bed. The first thing I reminisced while looking at it was our time we spent naked in bed. Seeing the white sheets lay clean and tidy on the mattress made my heart swirl. I quickly averted my gaze and tried to cover those thoughts with something else. "I would like to be alone please." I didn't even try to look at Nathan. "Please, bring Zade back to me whenever Luke is done examining him.""Alrig
