~ZIRA
As a knife had sliced through my heart, I felt it cut into two and fall to the pit of my stomach. I turned a stunned look at him.Kael scoffed. "You're not my enemy? You think just saying that is going to justify everything your family had done to us?" He roared.And I flinched at his tone. My wolf sank at the harshness and I did not know how long I could keep standing before him."I don't know what you think we did but I can assure you that I only have good intentions," I retorted firmly.Kael broke into laughter. It was a pained laughter and it echoed throughout the room. My wolf twisted at the sickening sound and my heart only went out to him.Kael was hurting and I could see it clearly. I wanted to comfort him but I knew that he would not let anyone in."Go to fucking hell with your good intentions! Can your intentions und~KAELMy fingers trembled violently as I walked out of the hall.My heart hammered hard against my chest as if I had just been running. My intake of breath became heavy and I soon realized that I was sweating all over.I stopped and stood against the wall. I squeezed my eyes shut in an attempt to center my thoughts. The storm in my head had only gotten more turbulent. I could not even think straight anymore. I had lost my skills in understanding my wolf's desires and it twisted and churned angrily within me.The only emotion I could identify was anger yet I could not tell why I was angry. It burned at my soul, burned at the pit of my stomach and ate me up from the insides.I balled my hands into fists as I thought of Zira,"Why is Zira the only clear one that I can think of?" I asked myself under my breath.It made no sense. She was the one I hated yet I was thinking about her. I thought about the moment that her fingers made contact with my cheeks. It had made my wolf leap with excit
~KAELArden poured me a glass of the clear wine he was taking."This will help clear your mind. Go ahead and drink! You need it!" Arden exclaimed as he handed me the glass.I exhaled sharply and shrugged. There was no harm in taking the drink. Perhaps it was going to help numb the storm in my mind. Maybe I would be able to find my wolf and we would be at peace again.I downed it in one go. I squeezed my face at the strength of the drink and I felt my wolf fighting off the dizziness. Arden cheered. "Now that is what I'm talking about!" he exclaimed before pouring me another one.I laughed and downed it. I winced at the power again, still not getting used to it. Arden clapped like a teenage cheerleader for me. Eventually, he grabbed my head and connected his forehead with mine."No matter what they say, we're in this together. We'll fight the enemy together, conquer the world. Travel the same world and vanquish all our enemies," he promised me.These were his dreams. This was what he ha
~ZIRA"I have decided that the Blackstones will stay in the pack house until the Moon crest is found."My heart skipped a beat at the announcement. I let out a shaky breath before I got a hold of myself. My eyes fell on Kael first and a triumphant smile found its way to my face.Just when I thought that the goddess had abandoned me to work on my own, she had shown me another sign.My wolf spurred with triumph and I had to fight the urge to jump with excitement. This meant that I had been given plenty of time to win Kael over. I heaved a sigh of relief.Things might have been going south but I knew that with this new development, we would be able to move faster.Although, Kael did not seem to be happy about the news. He probably wanted to get as far away from me as possible. Which was why I was ready to follow him around, even to the ends of the world. "We have to stay here?" Kael suddenly demanded in
~ZIRAI was left alone with Kael.I blinked multiple times, as I felt very conscious of myself. I knew that the right thing to do was to walk away to my room as everyone had done but I felt reluctant to leave him. I wanted to stay in his company a little while longer even if he kept throwing me hateful stares.I fidgeted with my fingers and I felt my heart begin to race. I wanted to start a conversation. My wolf urged me to but I feared that it would only anger him. In the end, all I did was inhale and exhale."Go to your room, Zira," he muttered under his breath.I would have not heard it if there were others in the hall with us. It had grown so silent that I could hear every sound which we each made.I ignored his request and moved on to start a conversation with him. "D— do you need help finding your room?" I asked, trying my luck since he had spoken to me first.Kael stepped before me and threw me a disgusted stare. "I don't need your help," he breathed before storming away.My wo
~ZIRAI smiled as I locked the target on my prey.The only form of light was the moonlight shimmering in through the large windows. I entered a corridor and followed Arden's scent. That was when I realized that his voice was not alone, it was accompanied closely by that of a woman's.This woman's voice sounded vaguely familiar. I kept my emotions buried as I felt my wolf beginning to stir. I moved quietly in the dimly lit corridor until I stopped before a door.His voice was stronger here and I already knew what they were doing before I confirmed it with my eyes."Oh Arden, baby. . ." She cried and I recognized it well enough. It was Bella. Arden grunted before letting out a hiss.I pushed the door slightly open and peered in. They had not bothered to turn the lights on. They were satisfied with the moonlight which found its way in through the window opposite them.Arden was seated on a sofa while Bella worked on him. Arden let out another moan and Bella twisted her body in crazy ways
~KAELI tossed and turned in my bed.I could not get any sleep, no matter what I did. I even tried squeezing my eyes shut for a long time but each time I did, thoughts of Zira came into my head.I saw her smile at her father. I saw her moistened eyes as she stared up at me, expecting me to accept her. I even went as far as hearing her voice.It caused my wolf to stir with desire and want. It was as if the more time I spent away for her, the harder it got to bury my thoughts far away.I wondered what was going on in her room. Perhaps that was why I could not sleep. Because I kept thinking about Arden spending the night alone with my mate.My wolf twisted at the thought. Could he perhaps be kissing her now? Could he be running his hands over her body?I cringed at the thoughts that I was getting. I sat up immediately and that was when I realized that I had started sweating all over. My heart pounded hard against my chest and my wolf continued to move restlessly within my mind.I was fin
~ZIRA"Get out!"My wolf sank deep within my ribcage. My heart began to pound heavily and my body started trembling. I did not want to leave. Not after what we had going. I was sweating all over."Kael, we can—""I said get out! Leave this place! Now!" He roared in my face.My mouth when shut immediately as I stared at him. I felt tears coming and my eyes moistened immediately. My lips began to tremble and I suddenly felt stupid.Why was I trying to force a relationship that he obviously did not want?I swallowed bile hard and held my head high. "I'm sorry for bothering you," I apologized in a firm voice before turning away and walking out.Luckily for me, Arden and his beloved had given up searching for me. They were now sharing drinks and giggling to themselves."Once the Moon crest is ours, I'll make you my Luna," I heard him say and Bella giggled.My wolf came to life at the mention of the Moon crest. I vowed to myself that I would never let Arden touch it, especially Bella."I lo
~ZIRAI was up earlier than I usually did.My fear was that if Arden were to wake up at the same time as me, then he might probably suggest that we took our bath together. That was the last thing I wanted.Luckily for me, Arden was still fast asleep.I cleaned my body and brushed my teeth quickly. There was determination in my eyes. I hoped that today was going to be better than the way yesterday turned out. I might have died and come back yesterday but today, I was only going to conquer my enemies.I chose a pair of pants, a sleeveless top and a dark leather jacket. I placed my legs into knee high boots, having it in mind that I might have to go hiking in the woods. There was no way that I would let the men search alone.I was just brushing my hair when Arden woke up. My wolf stirred in desperation. I had almost forgotten that the man still existed. I wondered why he could not just disappear."Sweet morning my beautiful mate," he began and I could not detect the lie in that. He was g
