ZAIRE
I left the last class of the day and headed towards my locker to put my books back when Connor appeared in front of me. Letting out a deep sigh, I tried to ignore him, but with his strong scent, it was hard to.
CONNOR I wasn’t sure what Zaire was planning, but I had a feeling I was going to be screwed. Leonard was sitting by the benches with Ximena so I was not going to have him back me up if I needed it. The dislike and jealousy I feel towards Cathal could help me defeat Zaire, I just hoped it worked. She took her sweater off, leaving her in a sports bra and shorts, shaping her adorable curves. Stupid teenage hormones.I wanted to impress Alpha Jedrick while proving to his daughter I could take her down. I took my shirt off as I saw her grab a sword from the weapons stand. Mine didn’t compare to how big hers looked as she waved it back and forth in front of her. “Careful, princess. These are sharp,” I said while she showed me a confident smile. “Don’t worry. I took classes back home. Or did you think I didn’t know how to manage one?” she replied cockily, looking at Cathal with a smirk on her face. I turned my gaze towards him to see his reaction, but he was not impressed. “Well, then I
MARGERY I was almost out of breath as I kept running through the woods. The loud howling and growling coming from behind me had my feet moving at a fast speed. He was going to catch me, I had to try to stay away from him.
ZAIRE “Hey, wake up sweetheart,” Mom whispered. I fluttered my eyes open and groaned as I snuggled closer to Connor, who was still asleep. The bite really got to him and it would take a while before he fully recovered. “Hi, Mom. What’s wrong?” I asked curiously as I slowly got out of the hospital bed, realizing it was already morning. We must have been really exhausted and lost track of time. “You have to come to the throne room,” she looked concerned and that had me worried. I followed her while asking myself what they needed me for. Mom was fidgeting with her fingers on our way there. I could feel her heart racing while she kept walking without taking a single glance at me. As soon as we walked into the room, I saw Margery’s parents standing there, talking to Dad and my Father. She was a sobbing mess and I was feeling sorry for her. But what could be happening? “What’s going on?” I asked. Dad took me in his arms and hugged me, somehow trying to comf
CONNORAmoux and Louve were gone and there was nothing we could do. My wolf sacrificed himself to save us and to protect her wherever they were going. Margery must be feeling guilty and also betrayed by Blake.
MARGERY My cheek still hurt, and my eyes were already dry as I didn’t have any more tears to shed. Zaire is my best friend and I have betrayed her in the worst way possible.
BLAKE “You love me?” she asked. There was hope in her eyes.
ZAIRE I wanted to hug Margery and tell her it would be okay, but after what happened in the dungeon I doubt that’s the most appropriate thing at the moment.
CONNOR A week has gone by and Louve was feeling better according to Zaire. She was still upset at Alpha Jedrick, and even dinner nights were awkward. Her parents were finally able to return to their home since there haven't been any more rogue attacks, but we were still alert.
