~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
~ZIRABoth my parents froze at my question but no one answered right away. I glared at them expectantly. It was important that they gave me the answers to my questions. Their lives depended on it. It was time to bring me out of the dark that they had kept me in for so long.My wolf shifted uncomfortably as I continued to stare at them. No one spoke for a dozen heartbeats. It was when I began to think that they would not say a word, that my mother broke first."Young lady, your rebellious activities since the day began is getting out of hand. I thought we agreed not to open new wounds over breakfast? Why are you trying to bring it back up?" She demanded and I saw the disapproving scowl on her face.I had succeeded in pissing her up again. Usually, when I got on my mother's bad side, I would be the one to back down on father's intervention. But I was determined to stand my ground today. I told myself that I was not leaving their room until they revealed to me everything that I needed
~ZIRAI felt my world slowly coming back to me as I rose to my feet. I wiped away at the tears that had flowed out of my eyes. An involuntary shiver seized me and I hugged myself as I felt cold.Crying always left me feeling cold but I needed to push it very far away. None of that mattered now. What mattered most was that this story that my father was about to reveal to me."You might want to sit down for this," Father suggested as he gestured as his empty seat.I contemplated turning his offer than but decided against it as I realized that it would only cause the ice that had risen between us only become harder to break.So I accepted as I felt my wolf stir within me. I quietly came to the chair and sank on top of it. Mother took a look at my hair and let out a disapproving sigh before grabbing a brush and beginning to run it through my hair.I had no choice but to stare at them through their reflection as I felt my heartbeat slowly begin to accelerate. My nervousness was coming back
~ZIRAMy heart jumped at the news. Even though I knew the outcome of the story, it still got me on edge. I suddenly realized that I was holding my breath and I continued doing it as I listened to what I came to realize was my parent's love story.Father had after all said that he would start from the beginning. I guessed this was why they were giving me all this back story.Mother cleaned her throat and continued where she left off. "The moment he told me that Tyrone was gone, I felt my heart shatter and I thought I was going to go crazy. I felt as if I was going to die if I was not reunited with Tyrone again. So I made the wildest decision I had ever made my entire life and that was going after him," she narrated.I widened my eyes and this was when I felt true connection with her. Maybe my father was right after all about me being exactly like her. I knew her to be someone who always went by the books yet there she was, breaking one to secure her future life."Did anyone know that
