Zoey’s POV

"What are you saying?" I spoke, not wanting to believe what I had just heard. "Madam Vera is dead," she announced, sobbing loudly. "How... how..." I stammered, my voice trembling. "Mr. Johnson pushed her down the stairs during an argument," Venita, Vera’s maid, spoke, and my heart seized in my chest. "No, no, tell me it's not true," I cried out, my voice breaking as I vigorously shook my head. It can't be true. I talked to her just yesterday morning, and now she's gone. "Tell me you are lying," I pleaded with Venita over the phone, hoping she would laugh and tell me it's a prank played by Vera. But she didn't. Instead, she sobbed loudly on the phone. "Ma'am, she is gone," she cried, and suddenly my hands became weak, causing the phone to slip from my grasp.

"What's wrong?" I heard Alpha Ethan's voice as he stood before me, and without a second thought, I fell into his arms and began to cry. "No, this can't be true," I sobbed loudly in his arms, feeling his strong embrace. Mo

    Alpha Ethan's POVI stood a few steps away from her as I watched her fall asleep. With what happened a few minutes ago, I knew something was wrong with her. I thought, as a healer, she must have healed herself, but seeing the way she acted proved that I was actually wrong.Filled with worry and concern, I couldn't leave the room. Rather, I took the couch that was right across from her and watched her sleep. As I watched her sleep, I couldn't stop myself from staring at her beautiful face. She looked so different and calm when she sleeps, unlike her usual self that always shouts at me. While staring at her, I wondered what our life would have turned out to be if we hadn't met under these circumstances. Perhaps she wouldn't have hated me like she did.While staring at her, I remembered the first day she walked into the mansion, accompanied by her father. I remembered walking down the stairs and spotting an innocent-looking girl seated on the couch. The moment she spotted me, she stood u

    Zoey’s POVI could see how shocked and dumbfounded he looked after hearing my confession. The plan wasn't to tell him; in fact, I didn't plan to tell him. But when he kept asking me, I couldn't just take it anymore, and I had to blurt it out."Blood in your brain?" He asked, shocked and confused, as he kept staring at me, hoping I would joke and tell him that I was actually lying— which I wish I was, but unfortunately, I wasn't.Filled with pain and anger, I left the mirror, opened the wardrobe, and searched for a dress. He followed and stood behind me, but I didn't bother looking at him. After searching the wardrobe, I took out a purple fitted dress and slowly made my way to the bed. My legs were getting weak, and it took everything in me to even walk properly. After laying the dress on the bed, I went for the zipper of my tracksuit, unzipped it, and took off my clothes while I totally ignored his presence. I got changed into the dress and walked back to my dresser, where I picked up

    Ethan's POVThe look on her face killed me when the doctor announced the situation of her illness. I could see fear and worry in her eyes, but the moment she realized I was staring at her, she quickly wiped it off and took a deep breath. It pained me to realize that she doesn't want me to see her in worry or pain. "How urgent is the operation?" She asked, sounding confident and unbothered about the little chances the doctor mentioned. "At least it should be done within a week," the doctor explained, and she nodded and sat on the bed. "Thank you, I will think about it." She flashed a weak smile at the doctor while I just stared at her worriedly. She would think about it? I don't understand what she's trying to do or what she's thinking, but I knew I had to have a talk with her."I will be in my office," the doctor said and bowed his head before leaving the room. Filled with concern and worry, I stared at Zoey, who seemed lost in thoughts. So many things were going through her head, and

When I reached my room, I quickly sat on my bed and closed my eyes before I began unleashing my healing abilities on myself. Luckily, I was able to steady my breath, but I knew it was just for a while, and it would come back again. “This is getting serious,” Nora spoke worriedly. By the tone of her voice, it seemed she was so worried and scared. “You need to be operated on,” she suggested, while I just kept silent and closed my eyes. So many thoughts were buzzing in my head, and one of them was about Jaya. I feared the operation going wrong and never getting the chance to see him. The thought of not being able to see him scares the hell out of me.While I was still lost in thoughts, a knock came on the door. Without being told, I knew it was Alpha Ethan. He didn't wait for me to ask him before he opened the door and dashed in, worry and

    Zoey's POVI could see the confused look on Alpha Ethan's face as he stared at me. It took a while before he could actually register what was happening. “Is there something on my face?” He asked, causing me to frown and look away. To ignore him, I stood to my feet and tried to walk to the bathroom, but then I felt my legs getting really weak. Just as I was about to lose my balance, I felt Ethan's arms wrap around me. “Are you alright?” He asked, but before I could respond, I fell unconscious.When I opened my eyes, I realized I was lying on the bed and Ethan was seated on the couch beside me. I looked around and realized I was still in my room before moving my gaze back to Ethan, who had a blank look on his face. “How are you?” He asked, but I didn't respond. Instead, I glared at him and looked away. “We are leaving for India tomorrow,” he announced, forcing my attention back to him. “Why?” I asked, confused. “For your operation.

We fastened our seatbelts, and in no time, the jet started flying. The atmosphere was tense and quiet. Even Jaya, who talks a lot, was oddly silent. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts until Alpha Ethan broke the silence. "Have you been to India?" he asked, directing his question to Jaya, who shook his head. "I have only been to France, and it was my godfather who took me with him," Jaya responded. His usual lively voice was now dull and lifeless, and it pained me that I was the cause of it.I stared at Ethan, who flashed me a comforting smile before returning his gaze to Jaya. "How about we travel around the world?" Alpha Ethan asked, and Jaya's eyes lit up immediately. "Travel around the world?" he asked with excitement in his voice. "Will that be possible? Can you do that?" he asked, while Alpha Ethan chuckled and nodded. "Let’s travel around the wo

The three of us got into the car and sat in the back seat, while Jaya sat in the middle, staring at the city with awe and excitement. I glanced at Zoey, who held my gaze and then looked away. She stared outside the window as if looking at the city, but I knew she wasn't; she was probably worried and had doubts and fear in her heart about the operation, which wasn't just a surgery."Are you alright?" I asked, and she hummed but didn't bother to look at me. "You know you don't have to be scared about anything. Everything will be successful," I spoke through a mind link, but she didn't respond to it.With a sigh, I looked away, feeling pain in my chest. Knowing that she was going through all of this saddened me, and what pained me even more was that I was actually the main cause of it. Maybe all of this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't sent her away tha

He shook his head, and for the first time, he looked away from the operating room and looked up at me. “Can’t we stay and wait for Mother's operation to be over?” he asked, causing me to take a deep breath and squat to his height. I held his gaze and could see so much worry and fear in his eyes. “We can’t stay here; it's going to be a five-hour operation. So why don't we go and eat something and then come back?” I suggested, and I saw him stare at the operating room before looking back at me. “Alright,” he agreed, whil

Slowly I opened my lips, and he slides his tongue as he began massaging my ass.A throaty groan left my lips at the impacts of his hand on my waist. In a swift motion, he made me lay on the bed and climbed on me. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he ran an admiring gaze on me. “You are so beautiful.” He praised, and I blushed and wrapped my arms around his neck. “And you are hot.” I complimented, and he chuckled before bending down to seal his lips with mine.This time the kiss was so tenderly and loving, it was as if he was conveying his emotions through the kiss. With my eyes closed, I felt him move away from my lips, and then he went for the crook of my neck. I could feel his teeth as he nipped on my neck, sending a different sensation all over my body. I wanted him to just go on and mark me as his, but I knew it was too early for

Despite my anger, I could taste that her food was well-cooked and delicious.“Well, you cook more than her,” my wolf comforted me while I just rolled my eyes and continued eating as I watched Alpha Ethan and Sandra talk so happily with each other. “That's a lie; you told me it's outside, when I got there I saw nothing.” Sandra pouted, and Alpha Ethan laughed loudly while Jaya followed them. My mind was so preoccupied with thoughts that I had no idea what they were saying.“Jaya, darling, do you know that when I got outside, I saw nothing? Your father tricked me,” Sandra complained like a little child, causing Jaya to laugh more.Feeling left out, I looked at the three at the table; they looked so happy without me. It seemed like I was invisible in their midst. A painful gulp passed down my throat

I hummed and requested that she get me a glass of juice while I took a seat on the couch. A few seconds later, she returned with a glass of juice and handed it to me. After she left, I took a sip of the juice while I was entertained by what was showing on the TV. But then, I noticed the entrance door opened . Thinking it was Alpha Ethan and Jaya, I looked, but it wasn't them. Instead, it was a lady who should be the same age as me.I noticed the servants who saw her all welcomed her happily, and she smiled at them. Then, she looked my way. When our eyes met, she smiled at me and walked toward my direction. I dropped the glass of juice on the table and ran a quick gaze at her as she approached me. She was wearing a fitted black gown that stopped above her knees. Her black hair was packed

    Zoey's POVI thought he wouldn't join me in the rain because he was an alpha, and people might see us. But I was surprised when he entered the rain and stood before me. A smile played on his face as the heavy raindrops fell on his face. Gosh, he was incredibly handsome.He stretched out his hand to me, which I took, and then he made me turn around in the rain as we both laughed our hearts out like little children. He went further to wrap his hand around my waist and then pulled me to himself. I smiled, and he smiled before leaning towards my left ear and whispered, “I love you.” He said, and I gulped as chilled shivers passed down my spine. This wasn't the first time he had told me this, but this time it felt different; this time it was as if he was pouring his heart out in those words.I nervously licked my lips as he moved away from my ear and held my gaze as if he wanted to bore into my soul. He smiled at me, and I shyly smiled and tucked my wet hair behind my ears. Goddess, I was

    Alpha Ethan's POV:Throughout the concert, I noticed Zoey looked comfortable as she watched the play on the stage. With a daggering glare, I looked at Lord Philip, who met my gaze, and I frowned. I hated his guts; the fact that he almost broke my relationship with Zoey angered me even more.After the concert came to an end, Zoey and I walked out of the hall and met Philip at the door. It was as if he was waiting for us, and I was right when he saw us and approached us.“Alpha Ethan,” he called with a smirk, which I found very annoying. “I can see that you are back with your mate,” he said, making me grit my teeth and wanting to move closer to him, but Zoey stopped me by placing a hand on my shoulder.With clenched fists, I glared at him and wished I could punch him in the face, but Zoey's hand on my shoulder stopped me. “I did not approach you for a fight; rather, I want to say a few words to you and make peace,” he said, which surprised me. I wasn't expecting such words from him.“Ye

Now it's just daddy and mommy time,” I said, and Jaya nodded as if he fully understood me.“I get it, Dad. You are taking Mom out on a date,” he said, and I furrowed my brows, wondering where he got such words. “And for the record, Mom loves vanilla ice cream, so get her one,” he added, and I chuckled with disbelief before asking, “Where did you get such words from?” I asked, and he scoffed before rolling his eyes. “I'm a smart kid, Dad; I thought you knew this already,” he spoke proudly, and I smiled before wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him to myself.“Really.

Jaya, Zoey, and I entered the mansion, and Jaya came to hold my hand. “So, are we still undergoing my training, Dad?” He asked, and I chuckled before ruffling his hair. “Of course, we will start tomorrow. Are you ready for your ass to be kicked?” I asked, and he scoffed before hitting me on the stomach. “I'm stronger than you, Dad,” he said, and a big smile spread across my face. “Let's see about that,” I argued with him and tried ruffling his hair, but he groaned and moved away from me while he tried to arrange his hair with his hands.I watched him go to Zoey, who was seated on the couch. He told her about how he was going to win, and all I did was smile at his cuteness.

    Zoey's POVI walked out of there and took the stairs to my room, which I knew was still left vacant for me. I got in and shut the door before pacing around the room. Anger rose within me as I thought of Vera and the little punishment given to her abusive mate. I was angry at myself for not being around and present at the trial. At least I would have done something and made sure he got a more severe punishment than the one given to him. “Damn it,” I groaned, and then sat on the bed. My entire being was consumed with anger at the thought of him just spending 20 years in imprisonment when my Vera, my friend, was gone. A big frown appeared on my face as I wished I could just change the hands of time. I believe I wouldn't have let Lord Adrian give him such a light punishment.While I was still in thought, a knock came on the door, and I groaned. I didn't want to be disturbed. "Who is there?" I snapped. "It's me, Mother, Mother," I heard Jaya's voice, and I quickly stood to my feet. How c

With a furrowed brow, I held her gaze and saw that she also held my gaze with a blank look on her face, which made it hard for me to detect her mood. I noticed the way she walked into my room and the way she took a seat, and that made me realize what was strange and different. The Zoey seated before me had regained her lost memory; the old Zoey was back, and that was why she had this compelling energy around her.“Have you gotten your lost memory?” I asked, and she remained silent for a moment before she spoke. "I'm here to tell you the truth, not because I care about what you will think about me, but because I just want you to know the truth," she muttered in a firm voice, totally ignoring my words to her."I didn't have sex with Philip," she announced, and I gulped.
