Underestimated Mate •~Chapter 23~•
ZANNICUS: Eighteen minutes till one and I'm sitting on the edge of my bed, too excited to even take a nap. I look forward to our run, especially since Seth is joining for the very first time! I lay down for a while, wiggling my feet and never looked away from my phone. And just as the clock struck one, a knock resonated through my room, to which I flew up and off my bed rushing to open the door. I beamed and let Seth inside, "You ready?" He nodded, looking just as excited, "Are you?" He smirked and I grinned in reply. "You go first. I'll meet you outside." He nodded and yanked off his shirt. Swallowing, I quickly turned away feeling my cheeks flush. I heard him chuckle followed by ruffling of clothes. I heard bones cracking, groans then a bark. I turned to see him in his wolf form. 'He looks so cute.' His tail wagged before he went to the window and jumped out. I took off my clothes and quickly shifted, taking the time to heave a breath before leaping out of my window and landin

SETH: The three of us managed to return on time and a couple of minutes after Nic and I plopped down on the sofa, Ronan came down. The silly smile never left my face. Nic grinned like a cheshire cat at both me and Zannicus which resulted in Zannie blushing like a tomato while we were on our way back. My wolf kept growling while mumbling something and whimpering then cut me off again. I tried to reach out but he blocked me. Which was the very first time it happened to me. Oddly enough, I feel different while we were making our way back. I wasn't sure if it was a good different or a bad one. My wolf's sudden change in behavior the moment we arrived at the spot where Nic prepared for Zannie's mini birthday party distracted me most of the time. Oh, and Veronica insisted we exchanged numbers since I'm now a part of their inner circle. Which pleased me greatly. And something about her approval left me giddy. Ronan's scent as well as gaze had us peeking an eye open. I was, and still am,
Underestimated Mate •~Chapter 25~•
ZANNICUS: The warmth on the back of my neck roused me awake and I took the time to stretch any kinks out before sitting up with a sigh. A glance at my clock showed that I had missed breakfast, and I'm so grateful Alpha Ryder isn't here. I swung my legs over the bed, the chill from the floor was enough to dispell any remaining lethargy from my body. I shuddered, smacking my lips in attempts to remove the dryness in my mouth. Why is it that I'm always like this everytime I wake up? I drank enough water- ohh.....I paused, scratching my neck, 'I went straight to bed after our run and forgot to drink some water.' But still though, I pouted, I always drink water yet I still end up with a dry mouth. I took a shower and changed into black jeans and plain dark blue shirt but not before checking on my bruises and found that they've all healed. While ruffling my hair, I glanced at the clock to find that is was nearly lunchtime. "I'm starving. Ax?" I paused, frowning at the wall, "Are you alr

RONAN: The day passed by pretty quickly and before we knew it, we were already on our way back to the house. I pulled my phone out from my pocket, '3:37 pm'. Enough time to clean up and prepare for my stroll with Zannicus. I told my warriors that we could go home early and to say they were happy would be an understatement, they were actually crazily overjoyed that some even jumped up and down like a kid being handed a new toy. But, I did have my revenge. Let's just say, they won't feel their legs for a couple of hours. "Alpha?" I turned to the voice- Max, one of my best warriors -and raised my eyebrows in question. "Good luck on your date." At that, I managed to humiliate myself by tripping over a rock and they bursted out laughing. "It's not a d-date!" I spluttered indignantly. 'Is it?' I asked no one in particular. 'Yes!' My wolf perked up. Even though I never really made it clear that it was a date. But I did mention a stroll. Is that considered a date? Sh*t. I don't eve

RONAN: It felt good that I finally told him. It's true, I blamed myself for leaving that night, but when I saw my father come out of his room, my heart stopped and I could feel my stomach churn in extreme discomfort. I wanted to go to him, but I couldn't bring myself to. I locked myself in my room for weeks. He held my hand when he reassured me that nothing happened and boy was I glad. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Well, you can release that guilt of yours, because nothing happened. Thanks to you." Tentatively, I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back. I felt him snuggle closer. 'He fits perfectly in my arms.' Eventually, we pulled away but our hands remained entwined as we resumed our trek through the forest. I was inordinately pleased Zannicus even remained close to me. "Are you really not going to tell me where we're going??" He asked with a little smile. I turned to him with a smile of my own, "A little impatient are we?" He just squinte

ZANNICUS: Hot. Too hot. I groaned, tossing around my bed as the sweltering heat seeped out from my body. I gasped and sat up, grimacing upon seeing that my clothes were drenched in sweat. I threw the blanket off in hopes for the cool air to alleviate the hot sensation, but to no avail. If anything, it just intensified causing me to squirm. I curled into a ball but then pain lanced through me causing me to yell out. I felt hot tears welling up in my eyes. My lips felt so dry. I moved to sit up but stopped when another pain flashed through me. I glanced at the clock, 'What?! It's just 12:47 am? What the-....Why am I-....Oh my Goddess. I'm in heat.' I screamed as another ripped through my body, this one I felt climb all the way up my spine! Fisting my blanket, I jumped when multiple bangs sounded through my door. This time, panic ensued my entire being accompanied with me taking heaving breaths. My heart stopped as dread filled me upon hearing low growls and grunts from outside my

SETH: Nic resembled a starfish as he sprawled out on the couch in the living room where we were resting. I was in a similar fashion as Nic's and it's currently six in the morning. Nic rubbed his face with a tired groan while I sighed for the umpteenth time and rolled my shoulder. The scratch marks on my arm and on Nic's chin has healed. What a night. When I heard that feral growl, I had fallen off my bed with a yelp and Nic bursted through my door a minute later. As soon as we exchanged looks of understanding, we sprinted down towards Zannie's room. Nic was roused awake by sounds of banging, he said. It was a miracle that the other pack members that reside in the second, third and fourth floors slept through the entire commotion. Ronan's roar should've woken them all up. We skidded to a stop to the sight of a feral, half-shifted Ronan standing protectively over a whimpering, trembling Zannicus on the floor. Ronan kept the men away but when two lunged towards an unsuspecting Ronan f

And with that, I cut the mind link off and found Zannicus looking at me with a half hearted smile. I raised my eyebrows in question. "Take it easy on them. It's been quite a while since they've trained. Start from the very beginning then work your way back up." "Still, its no excuse for them to laze off. Just because I've been taking easy on them since we started doesn't mean they should use it to their advantage." I frowned. "Well, that's on them. It was their choice on not training to keep in shape. Unlike you, Nic, Seth, Gabe, Isaac and Francis, you kept training so you won't lose the ability to fight. Yes, its no excuse and they should've been prepared. But its been a long time since we had a rogue attack, 9 years to be exact. So you can't really blame them for not relaxing." I looked down in contemplation. He took my hand and nudged me, "I said I'd join you in training correct? Then let me help. We just have to work together. It'll take longer the more you force them." He lo

Underestimated Mate •~Part #4 {Chapter 83}~•
I thought I was trembling, but when I opened my eyes, the one trembling was the ground itself. The rouges came to an abrupt stop as they looked around confused. They dug their claws into the ground as they held on, but it was useless. Aghast, I watched as the earth literally opened, the rogues plunging deep into the darkness leaving me alone but safe.I felt like something was clenching inside of me and soon, the ground closed, returning back to its normal state as if it hadn't opened a while ago. I blinked dumbfounded before flicking my gaze up to find all were frozen on their spot.My gaze found Marcus who was actually looking quite hilarious at this moment - for even in wolf form -as his mouth was wide open. Then he gave a wolfish grin before he threw his head back, howling happily before clamping his teeth down on the rogue's neck in front of him.The fight resumed and more came charging towards me. I wanted it to happen again but something else

'Oh what the hay is wrong with me?Hormones. Hormones.'A loud pained groan brought me out of my thoughts and I found the guy on the floor. Unconscious. My eyebrows shot up as the man bent down and patted his pants, pulling out a set of keys.He stood up and turned and our eyes met. His widened while I stared with a blank face. He gulped before quietly walked in. He stopped at the door of my cell and slowly opened it. He hesitated for a bit before stepping in and stopped right infront of me.He bit his lip before kneeling down and reached out to the shackles.I stayed still and he took that as the cue to continue and while he busied himself getting them off, I spoke which made him jump."What are you doing?""Repenting for my sins. Consider this as my way of saying sorry for not telling where our hideout is."He said quietly and I observed his body language. He was shaking- no, trembling rather. One fell off and he went to

'Gentle giant?'He unfolded the blanket and draped it around me. He looked at me and I gave a tiny smile in gratitude and he lightly squeezed my hand before leaving the room. I gripped the blanket and pulled it closer and soon, I drifted off.I was woken up by loud obnoxious laughter. I blinked blearily and was tempted to yell but the sound of a door opening had me looking. I frowned as two men came in with grins on their faces and I sat up, now fully awake."So, this is him."The tall one spoke."Man, they were right. He's f*cking hot.""And sadly off-limits."I scowled at them."You know, if you were someone else, I would've smacked that scowl off your face."The small said with clenched fists."Why don't you come in and do exactly just that?"I growled out while clenching my fists. The man who spoke clenched his jaw and was about to when the taller one held him back."Are you stu

*BEFORE THE BATTLE* "I'll return with your food." I stared at the shackles before I raised my gaze and looked around the room. My gaze landed on a window and I could see an orange color with hues of pink and purple painted the sky. The sun was slowly setting andI would admire the beautiful view yet I can't. I scooted back until I was against the wall and my eyes trained at the window. I rested my arms on top of my knees and heaved a sigh. The sudden growl of my stomach made me jump and I cradled my stomach. "Oh my pup. Are you hungry?? Just wait a moment and I promise food will come." I whispered, smiling down as I rubbed my stomach in slow, small circles before a sudden thought made me frown. 'Does Dylan know I'm pregnant? If he does, what does he plan to do? Is he gonna kill my pup before he/she's born? Or what if he'll use my pup?' The last two put a bad taste in my mouth and I found myself releasing a lo

"Wha-!! How-.....you! I-I-....where-?" His chuckles reverberated throughout the room. I gritted my teeth and tried to stand up but abruptly stopped as I felt something searing through my skin. I yelped, biting my lip as I clenched my eyes shut. "Now, now. Don't stand up. You'll hurt yourself even more." I sent a venomous glare only for him to smile amused before I eyed the shackles and turned my leg around. I blinked, frowning upon seeing a tiny white stone welded into the metal. "Ahh. I see you're curious about why there's a tiny white stone in the shackles?" I flicked my eyes to him. "Well, its to hold you dow

RONAN'S POV: The huge iron doors to the dungeons opened with a deafening cream.We were met with a dark hallway that soon lit up as three guards appeared with torches in their hands. With a bow from them, they turned and lead the way. One of them opened another door that seperated the cells from the hallway and as soon as we stepped in, low whimpers and growls sounded from the cells where each rogue are placed into. From here, I could sense Seth and Isaac releasing their auras as we walked past the wolves. Some growled louder while others snarled wildly but the sounds abruptly stopped, a deafening silence engulfed the air. With a confused frown, I flicked my eyes to the others to find all were glancing at each other in confusion but soon, our question were answered by a strong, almost suffocating aura. My mate was leading the way, mask of cold indifference adorning his face as he strod

RONAN'S POV:I was frozen in my spot gaping witnessing what my mate did and felt the others were as well.The voice didn't belong to my mate and I glanced at Marcus who'd already shifted back and was clutching his bleeding arm. As if he felt my stare, he looked back and I sent a silent question, asking if the one who spoke was Anak-har and he nodded.Dylan turned to us, face red eyes glowing in rage."This. Isn't. Over."Seth, Nica and Gabe growled at him before he took off, leaving our territory.W Weturned to my mate and I saw him shaking his head and he glanced around.His body was lolling side to side then he locked eyes with us. He had a faint smile on his lips. My eyes widened as blood trickled down his nose before he started to stumble and fall.I quickly shifted, not caring if I was naked and ran towards my mate."ZANNICUS!!"
