~KAELI held Zira tight against my chest as I refused to let her see what I had seen.Arden was in that room making out with Tyler as if he had no care for anything in the world. I should not have been surprised that he was doing this since it was in his nature. But since he met Bella, I had thought that she was the one for him. I had believed that he cared about her.Turns out I was wrong. She was just one of his flings.Zira slowly looked up at me and smiled. My wolf stirred at the sight of it and it warmed my heart immediately. I fought for control and when I regained it, I furrowed my brows at her."Why are you smiling?" I asked.Her smile only got bigger. "I don't know if you're doing this just to feel my warmth but I'm down for it," she muttered.I suddenly felt dumbfounded as I searched for what to say. I considered releasing her immediately but there was still the risk that she might just walk over to the door and see Arden with another woman.This could ruin our entire plan.
~ZIRAI watched the men as they hugged from where I stood.My wolf stirred with curiosity. I wanted to know what they were talking about. I knew that it had everything to do with me."What are you, two talking about?" I asked under my breath.I tried to read their lips but Arden was the one doing most of the talking. At the same time, he had his back turned to me so that I would not be able to figure out what he was talking about. My wolf twisted with irritation.I stopped to admire Kael's confused face for a while. I finally understood why Kael had hidden my face as he did. I suspected that Arden had been making out with the woman I spotted in the building while I had been left standing alone. Kael had been trying to stop me from getting hurt.He had no idea that I was already gotten beyond hurt and I honestly cared less what Arden got himself to. I only cared about Kael and his entire existence.Too bad, he was still pushing me away. My wolf shifted at the thought.I shrugged the th
~KAELI tilted my head at the information. I had spent the entire time with Arden and I had not heard this part of the information. Where did he get this news from?I stared at him suspiciously and he only kept his innocence as if he was the better child. Ever since childhood, Arden had always strived to impress Father. Our dad was his role model and he wanted to be just like him. Which was why he kept his real habit hidden from him so that he would always be in our father's favor. I honestly cared less."Who is this person that White Cobra seeks?" Father asked.Zira remained quiet from here on. I bet that she was storing all the information at her disposal carefully so that she would be able to investigate further on it."A young woman, that's all I know," Arden revealed.My wolf stirred with understanding when I finally understood how he got the information. It must have happened when I left to save Zira. That Tyler woman must have given him more information. Maybe they had made a
~KAELIn the end, I could only ball my hands into fists as I listened to Arden trying to seduce Zira. Even though it did not seem to be working on her, it was affecting my wolf.I buried those balled fists between my legs so that my father would not notice. Especially as I was in the front seat with him.I sighed heavily and tried to move my thoughts to other things. I even told myself that if I paid attention to the scenery as we drove past, I would feel better. Yet Arden's voice filled the background and I found it annoying as he was disrupting my thoughts. I needed to drown him out completely.Suddenly, thoughts of Bella entered my mind again. I remembered that I planned to meet her and I kept her in my mind so that I would not forget. She was the first person I was going to see once Dad's car drove back into the garage of the Packhouse.As if on cue, the large Villa of the Packhouse came into view in all its glory. It was believed to have been constructed with the best technology
~ZIRABella let out a shocked gasp as she remained in that position and my wolf twisted with dangerous anger as I glared at her. I felt rage burning at the pit of my stomach and I knew that if I did not calm myself soon then I would attack Bella and there would be no stopping what I would do to her.I had come to the terrace to catch some air, to escape from the world and all the things I was facing. Unbeknownst to me that I would meet Bella and Kael already on it.The plan had been to walk away immediately since I could not stand the shameless woman who was hell-bent on having a threesome with my mate and Arden; until Kael started interrogating her on the matter concerning the Moon crest.It had gotten my interest so peaked that I could no longer walk away and when she made that disgusting deal, it got me beyond the edge and I attacked her.Bella turned a hostile stare at me. "How dare you raise your hand at me?" She demanded as her eyes burned with rage. I was taken aback by her
~ZIRAI shook my head at the now empty terrace. I narrowed my eyes at Gael. For some reason, I did not just want to let him be. I wanted to follow him up. I was tired of getting treated like trash by him. I was tired of getting his rejection. I wanted to get to the bottom of this and I knew that he was the only person who could reveal it to me now.So I walked back into the building and used the stairs to descend from the top. I had no idea where he had gone. I was only using his scent to track him down.My wolf basked in his scent. It was enjoying every bit of how it smelt. If it was up to it, then wolf would have been satisfied with sleep in a room where I got to smell him constantly.I found myself walking down into the main hall. Dinner had not yet been served. I believed that we had all missed lunch. It did not matter. What I was about to do was more important.I soon realized that his scent was leading me out into the open air. Until I saw him in the garage, working on his fath
~ZIRAKael's revelation made me release him and stagger back in shock. My heart sank to the pit of my stomach and scattered a thousand pieces. My breathing deepened and I did not know if I could catch up. I felt an wave of exhaustion hit me instantly and I lost all of my senses for a split second before it all started coming back to me, along with Kael's revelation.I shook my head at Kael and he only stared at me with pain. I felt an ache in my heart and I sank to the floor. Tears threatened to spill as I tried to process what Kael had just revealed to me. My wolf curled on itself as it tried to find the best place to hide so that it would not have to face the world.Then I shot my head back at Kael. "Your story must be wrong somewhere. Every thing else makes sense except for the fact that my father is not a murder. He could have not killed your mom," I breathed.He walked to where I had sank on the floor and squatted beside him. "I know you do not want to believe that your perfec
~ZIRAMy heart sank as Kael asked me the question again. If I were to tell him what that thing had been, then it would send more questions at me. Questions like why a Death wraith was after me. If that question was asked, only a few would be able to understand me. Some might think that I had gone insane.The last thing I also wanted was to jeopardize my mission. No one had to know just yet that I had died and come back from the dead. I also hoped that I would not revive any visit from my Death wraith friend.Kael was still waiting for me to give him an answer so I chose to play the unaware card. "I don't know what it was either. I was hoping that you would know about it and tell me," I answered.Kael continued to stare at me and it made me want to cower away. My wolf shifted at his unusual attention but I needed to endure it. At least until I was able to break free from him."So why did it take you so long to answer?" He demanded.I gulped as my wolf twisted with uncertainty. "I fou
