Zander's POV. My days pass in a blur of meetings, a haze of irritation and just pure longing. I spend most of my time watching out for her, walking past her library, occasionally stopping in front of her room, hoping, just hoping that she'll open the door and speak to me, tell me what's wrong, let me hold her again. Naz has been trying to distract me, whether by just being her usual annoying self or shoving piles of work on to me and while I appreciate her efforts it's doing next to nothing. Working on the piles and piles of files that lie on my desk gets me feeling a whole lot more tired, listening to Nazeera rant about something ridiculous or extremely stupid drains me and in the midst of all this I can't get her out of my mind. I miss her so much it fucking aches, I'm even more shot tempered now, I'm snapping at everyone around me even Naz and Callum, both have been extremely understanding even though several times I could sense Callum fighting the urge to scream at me. I know
Zander's POV. "Fucking whore," I hiss out and she screams when I squeeze her wrist. "P-pleas-" she starts, voice coming out whiny and high pitched, Aziel growls within me and I tug her wrist in response to how gratey her voice is, she winces again and I smirk at the sight of fear in her eyes and sweat dripping down her temples. There were people standing around, maids, butlers and a few warriors too. They formed a small circle around us but no one dared come closer. The logical side of me, the one not yet shrouded by irrational rage at seeing my mate getting hit by this slut was screaming at me to stop. Lashing out and attacking someone so close to Laleh wouldn't help my chances at all, but the irrational side of me was winning this argument, replaying in my head over and over how Karla had hit her, the sound of the girls palm hitting Selena's cheek was by far the most rage inducing thing I'd ever seen or heard, it wasn't helping that Aziel was screaming in my ear at me to maul her,
Selena's POV. There was a noticable silence in the gardens when he was done speaking, one that hung over us, thick and uncomfortable and so unlike the comfortable silences we usually settled into after we had sex or just when neither of us had nothing to say and I wanted to rest in his arms. I wish we could go back to that, when I still thought he was serious about me, when I let my heart skip multiple beats because of him, when I smiled freely with him, when I'd moan at his touch and he'd crave mine too. I missed him so damn much but I couldn't open up to him again, I couldn't run back to him. In fact I shouldn't even be thinking of speaking to him right now, I should shake off his hand and storm off, I should continue to shut him out and ignore him the way I've been doing all this while. But a small corner of my brain firmly rebelled against the idea, it protested, another part of me wanted me to explain, maybe he'd give an explanation for what he said, maybe there was a reason,
Laleh's POV.I lean against the hard wall of the mansion as I watch the slut drop to her knees and suck off the man I've been wanting to suck off as well. I grit my teeth, seething in anger. Both because she got to do what I've wanted to do for a long time and because this bastard had guts. A lot of guts actually, after ruining my greenhouse, unravelling the plans and systems I've spent years putting in place he has the guts to sit and get his dick sucked by his hoe. Well this bastard was going to get his due fucking soon. I watch with hooded eyes as he tugs her up and presses her lips to his, they tug at each other's clothes, moan into each other's mouths, the way he touches her has my own body igniting in response, my nipples tightens when his bends his head to suck on her nipples, I clench my thighs together when he uses his cock to rub her core.I groan into my hand and quickly slip a hand under the little black sundress I had on, I press a finger against my aching clit and moa
Zander's POV. It was strange how easily we always found out way back together. We argued, she'd pushed me away and yet we'd somehow always managed to snap back together, somehow she always fell right back into my arms. And I loved it, but there was a small part of me that acknowledged the fact that it would not always be this way, especially when she finds out…"Zander!" Selena calls out, snapping me out of the rabbit hole of thoughts I was spiralling down. I turn to her and smile appreciating the little sundress she had on today, a light blue that blends with her skin and makes her dark mane of hair stand out a little bit. Selena is by far the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, especially in that sundress, faded scar and all I am yet to find a female that would dare hold a candle to Selena in terms of beauty. "What are you thinking about?" She asks bringing my attention back to her curious face. I smile. "Thinking about how good you look in this dress," I reply softly and then
Zander's POV. The warriors quarters are basically empty, except for Roy and two of his warrior friends. They all instantly straighten up when I and Selena get closer to them. Like the kind person that she is, Selena spares them a calm smile meant to put them at ease, but that only makes my frown deepen at the sight of her smiling at another man. Was the thought petty? yes. Did I care? No."Good morning Alpha," The warriors chorused and bowed low at the waist, I barely spared them a glance and instead faced Roy whose eyes were already pinned on my mate. "Ron," I say and fold my arms, he jolts and turns to me with a guilty expression on his face as he bows. I stare at him blankly and wave at him to get up. Selena slides away from and moves to hug Roy, one look from me though and he shifts awkwardly and stretches out a hand instead. "Oh, I-" she begins, but I tug her to my side and stare Roy and his pals down. Yes, I trusted him enough to leave him with Selena for a day, but I didn'
Laleh's POV. What I felt was beyond satisfaction, from the general disorganisation the entire room was tossed in when he made the announcement to the fury on Zander's face, all of it brought an intense feeling of satisfaction rushing through me.So this was how sweet revenge could feel? I bite back a coy smile and meet his eyes, exuding a smugness that I know was messing with his head. "Now, if you would all keep quiet for one minute and sit down, maybe we can continue this meeting," Tristan says, tightening his grip on my waist. I tilt my head to the side and reach out with my magic to calm the pack officials.All of them had different things to say, all their opinions varying from support - like the limp dicked bastards that they are - to outright disapproval. I ale note of those who aren't on our side and make a mental note to deal with them later. If our plan was to work fully I needed all the officials on my side. I already have the Beta, two Gammas and a Delta, I still needed
Selena's POV. I fell asleep long before Zander got back. After three hours of sitting alone in my room waiting for him to get back so we could spend our last night before the hunt together, I finally gave in to the weight of sleep pressing against my eyeballs. When I woke up I was unsurprised to find the room empty and devoid of his scent and even though the significant lack of him near me left an ache in my chest. Like that time I was avoiding him after misinterpreting his words. I get up and out of bed, ignoring the mess of sheets and slipping into my bathroom. Today I would be making a visit to those that needed my help. Alpha Ezra has been doing significantly better and has made it clear that he didn't want me wasting too much time on him when there were other people who actually needed my help more. So my day wouldn't be as packed, a visit to the people on the other side of the pack and then I'd return to the mansion to laze about and count the days until I could see Zander a
