~KAELMy heart skipped two beats at Zira's request. My wolf came alive and marveled at the invitation. My intake of breath deepened and I wondered if I would be able to control myself."W—why? W—what's wrong with your room?" I stuttered.My wolf began to dance at the invitation and I wondered what was going on within Zira's head. She remained quiet for a while as she watched me. I parted my lips and waited for her to give me a good reason enough to be there.I could not deny that I wanted her in my room. I just needed her to give me a good enough excuse."W— well, given Arden's behavior this morning. . ." She hesitated and I heard her voice shaking. Her hand grew cold but she held on to me like I was everything for her.I nodded to encourage her not to stop she needed to give me the excuse I wanted desperately to hear so that I would be justify."And his current behavior, I'm terrified by him. What if he comes back in the middle of the night and tries something?" I asked.I searched h
~ZIRAHe kissed me.It felt like a dream come true. I had waited for this day to happen in ages and it had finally come to reality. The butterflies in my stomach took flight nd they began to flutter violently within me. I felt him nibble on my lower lip slowly and this ignited electric sensations from the pit of my stomach. Kael pulled me closer as if he wanted to eliminate every tiny space between us. His lips felt warm, way too warm. Like me, his body began to heat up as I moved my hands down his neck and back up to his hair. At a point, I thought I was going to burn up from his fire yet the thought excited me. I wanted to be burnt by his fire. Kael moved his kisses down my neck and I moaned from the tingling sensations that his kisses provoked out of my body.I moved one hand away from his neck and began to explore his chest. He was strong and I wanted to be wrapped in his warmth. Kael began to pull my shirt off me and I felt my body yearning for his touch. My wolf danced wild
~KAELOcean was alive within me. I was finally making Zira mine. We were now one and in doing this, I was not going to let my brother anywhere near her again. There was no way that I would be able to bare hearing him claim to be her mate. I was going to tell him the truth about what she meant to me. Zira lifted herself and planted a kiss on my lips. I smiled as I continued moving within her. She was warm and sweet. She was beautiful and surreal. I wanted her for myself alone. I moved my hands down her waist and rested them on her thighs. I guided her legs so that she would wrap them around me. "I don't want to be separated from you anymore. I want to make you mine publicly," I whispered breathlessly as I listened to her moans."What of your brother? I thought you were the one always reminding me of him," Zira asked before letting out a hiss of pleasure. "Let's not talk about him now. We should only enjoy this moment, it's for the two of us only," I urged her. Then I leaned over
~ZIRAI woke up with a smile on my face.Last night had been the most beautiful night of my life and I could not wait for today's event to unfold.I stirred to the other side of the bed and froze. All my happiness faded away. Kael was gone. My wolf sank at the realization.I sat up immediately and looked around the room. Maybe I was mistaken and he was still somewhere here."Kael?" I tried calling.But as expected, there was no response. I could not even hear anyone with me in the room.I frowned before deciding to go in search of him. I got out of bed and found my clothes in his wardrobe. I put on the dress and tied my hair up into a bun before walking out of the room.I had no specific idea on where to search. I just knew that I was going on this mission. I could not find him anywhere in the house so I stepped outside. The guards bowed to me as I passed them but I didn't even care to respond or acknowledge them.I went all the way to the field that lay behind the building. It was la
~ KAELI had rode for hours and only stopped when I reached our house.My conversation with my brother still replayed in my head. There was also the possibility of being played this entire time.I sighed. Was it possible for Zira to be lying to me? She would have to be a good liar to pull that off. I doubted if she was.I was sure that she had nothing to gain from lying to us because she and her family still kept us close and never pushed us away. They always included us in everything that they did. Which was why Arden was able to get her to like him. He also made sure that she never had other friends by scaring them away.I smiled at the memory as I dismounted from my horse. I had always been there, watching from a distance as Arden and Zira built their friendship. If I walked into my house and found out that all that sacrifice was for nothing, then I had no idea what I was going to do.I exhaled sharply and tied my horse to a pole before walking into the house. There a few guards ar
~KAELI squeezed my eyes shut as I waited. My heart pounded heavily as I my intake of breath deepened. My wolf came to a stop and the world became very slow but I continued to wait for everything to take it's cause. Suddenly, a short ding sound resonated throughout the room. My heart skipped a beat and I feared that I was about to die or hurt myself. Then an unlocking sound was heard and the safe came open. I snorted a laughter as I stared at the now open safe. I felt like the greatest detective ever. Who knew, perhaps wen Sherlock Holmes or his sister, Enola Holmes. I laughed even harder before going back to the spot. I stared at the slightly open safe in fear. What if the answers I awaited were truly inside and I opened it to realize that Zira was right all long? What would I do? Or what if I found another truth that placed Zira's parents as the true culprit? How was I going to make it work?I felt Ocean begining to dance wildly within my heart. If waiting for the code to work o
~ZIRAArden crashed his lips unto mine. I widened my eyes at him as my wolf spurred to life with disgust. I did not know what suddenly came over me. I lifted my hand and landed a hard slap on his face. This forcefully broke him away from my lips ad I glared at him angrily. Arden gritted his teeth as he touched the spot that I had slapped. It had gone red with seconds and his dark orbs bored into mine."Don't you ever dare touch me again!" I roared. "As I said earlier, I am not your mate and we both know it!" I spat.He narrowed his eyes at me and breathed through his open mouth. "Who then is your mate?" He demanded. "It will surprise you how close he is," I retorted. He tilted his head as he narrowed his eyes at me. Then he lifted his brows when it finally made sense to him.He snorted and brought his hand to his chin in disbelief. He shook his head as he realized who it was. "How was I so stupid not to see? It had been right in front of me the entire time," he muttered as he star
~ZIRAMy heart sank into the pit of my stomach. My wolf stirred uncomfortably inside of my mind. I had run out of excuses to give. From the way my mother looked at me, it showed that she was not going to stop until we found the truth. I needed to give her something. The last thing I wanted was for her to know that I was about to visit the pit. She could lock me up in this room if she had to, just to make sure that I would not interfere."Say something, Zira. Has the cat got your sharp little tongue?" She demanded. I shook my head at her. I looked around the room as I tried to find something good enough. If I did not speak soon, she was going to pull me by the ear and probably start searching me. She had always believed that I was never up to any good despite being the quiet child before. And now, I had gone and become the rebellious one. My eyes soon fell on my father's journal and I decided to use that instead. At least, I could get away with it. She followed my gaze and she sp
