Alpha Ethan POVThe doctor came out of Zoey's room with an unreadable expression on his face. “How is she?” I asked, and he nodded. “She is fine, but I advise you should come back tomorrow,” he suggested, and I sighed before staring at the door that led to her room. My wolf was urging me to go in and explain things with her, but I decided to follow the doctor's advice. “Very well then, please call me if any needs arise,” I said, and Doctor Malik nodded before bowing his head and leaving.Again, I stared at the door of Zoey's room before making a mind link to Mike. “Bring Jaya to the parking lot. We are leaving,” I told him through the mind link before ending it. I turned and walked away. I arrived at the parking lot and stood beside the car, and in a minute, Mike and Jaya joined me. “Dad, are we leaving?” Jaya asked, and I nodded before squatting to his level. I could see the questions and concern in his eyes as he wondered why we were leaving so early. “We have to leave, mommy needs
Zoey’s POVJaya kept speaking excitedly to me, and I did my best to respond to him. He began saying things that we had done together; some were things I didn't remember doing. Still, I hummed and smiled at him, acting like I could actually remember, even though I couldn't remember most of the memories he was telling me. I shifted my gaze to Alpha Ethan and saw that he hadn't moved away from the door since he came into my room a few minutes ago. He had been quiet and kept staring at me, which I found a little awkward and uncomfortable. I wasn't used to men gawking at me.“Mom, do you remember winning a combat fight against Dad?” Jaya asked. I furrowed my brow and returned my gaze to Jaya. “I did that?” I asked in shock, and Jaya nodded with a smile beaming on his face. “Yes, Mother, you had a combat with Father, and you won,” Jaya said. I furrowed my brow and held the plain eyes of Alpha Ethan. He had an unreadable expression on his face, which made it hard to read his mood. “When was
Zoey’s POVI couldn't tell how long we've been quiet until the door opened, and Doctor Malik came in with his assistance. I sat on the bed and rested my back against the wall.“Good morning, Alpha Ethan,” Doctor Malik greeted with a bow, and Alpha Ethan responded to his greeting before shifting his gaze to me. “How are you feeling today?” Doctor Malik asked, and I gave him a half smile before responding, “I'm doing well.” I replied, and he smiled before jotting down a note.After jotting some things down, he looked up at me and smiled. “Congratulations, Miss Zoey, you can be discharged,” he said, and I nodded. But there was nothing to be happy about, not like there was anything to rejoice about. I still can’t remember my lost memories.“I have transferred your case to our branch in California, and Doctor Steve will be the one handling your case. And don’t forget that you will have to go for physical therapy every three weeks,” he said, and I hummed and looked away. “Alpha Ethan, pleas
Zoey's POVI could see the confused and worried look on his face as he held my gaze. He looked confused at my sudden outburst, and it was obvious he wasn't expecting me to yell at him in such a manner. Taking a deep breath, I left the bed and stared at Jaya, who was sleeping peacefully. I inhaled deeply and glared at Alpha Ethan before leaving the room. I got back to my seat and stared outside the window while I stared at the clouds.The memories of my dreams flooded my mind, and then I realized that Alpha Ethan and I were eager to have a child, or should I say, Alpha Ethan was eager himself. I could still feel the anger in his eyes as he jerked me out of the bed, and no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't forget the look in his eyes out of my head. I could still feel the hair on my body standing due to the remembrance of my dream. It felt like everything was being replayed right before me.Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and rested my head on the headrest of the seat. A s
Zoey's POV“Mom, are you leaving?” Jaya asked, and I couldn't say a word. Instead, I shook my head and took my seat. I eyed Alpha Ethan; he looked at me with an expressionless look before looking away. “Wow, Mom, you are winning!” Jaya praised and gave me a hug before pulling away. “This is actually the second time you are winning Father,” Jaya said, and I met Ethan's gaze. So this wasn't the first time he was letting me win.“How did you do it, Mom?" Jaya asked with so much excitement in his voice. “Because your mom is good at it. She is literally good at so many things,” Alpha Ethan praised, and somehow I blushed at his compliment, but then I composed myself. “That's nice,” Jaya said and stood before me. “You and Dad can continue playing while I go be with Uncle Mike. He is showing me a trick,” Jaya said, and before I could protest, he ran off, leaving me and Alpha Ethan.Again, another awkward silence hung in the air until he cleared his throat before speaking. “Do you want to stil
Zoey's POVFinally, the jet landed, and we all got out while his men carried our luggage and put it in the trunk of the car. Alpha Ethan, Jaya, and I all got into the back seat, and Jaya rested his head on my chest. It seemed he was feeling sleepy and tired.The drive was silent, especially for me as I stared outside the window, watching the moving cars that we drove past. I was back in my country, and I knew I would have to go see my mother and father. I needed answers to my questions, and I couldn't wait to get them.The drive wasn't long until we passed a signpost that read "The Blood Moon Pack." I looked at Alpha Ethan, and then he smiled at me. "Welcome home," he whispered, and I gulped before moving my attention back to the window. My mouth hung open in awe as I stared at the beautiful things of the pack. I could see big green trees, beautiful buildings, and more. I knew it wasn't the first time I had been in this pack because I felt so familiar with it. Everything felt both fam
Alpha Ethan's POVI entered my room and slumped on the bed. It had been a stressful week, and I wished this were all, but I knew the worst was about to come. I wondered how she was going to react when she sees those memories. I knew it would definitely be a hectic one for me, but I was willing to do anything to keep her. I lost her once and won't lose her again."You should get some sleep," Leo spoke with so much concern in his voice. All I did was sigh and stand on my feet. I couldn't sleep when I knew I had a lot to do because I had been out of the pack for more than a week, and a pile of work would heap up for me.With a heavy sigh, I stood up and left my room. I stared at Zoey's door before taking the stairs to the living room. In the living room, Beta Timothy, my beta, was waiting for me. "What's the news?" I asked, and he began telling me about the meetings I needed to attend. But then, my nose caught a scent. "Mate," my wolf announced to me, and I looked in the direction of the
Zoey's POVI stared at him in shock, dumbfounded and unable to believe what he had just told me. How could I break ties with my family? What could they have done to warrant such a decision? I was confused and needed answers to my questions. I looked at Alpha Ethan, who still had a nonexpressionless look on his face. "How is that possible? What happened?" I asked with curiosity and disbelief.He heaved a deep breath and sighed before speaking. "You were wagered to me by your father. Because of that, you broke all ties with him, including your mother and sister," he said while I remained silent, not believing what I was hearing.So it's true. I was really wagered by my father. My father used me for a gamble. The thought of that broke my heart and made me angry. How could my father do such a thing? How could he use me for a bet?The thought made me so angry, and then I understood why I would make such a decision to cut off all ties with him. I sucked in a deep breath and relaxed in the s
Zoey’s POVIt was good to feel his lips on mine again. My whole senses went on fire as he wrapped his arms around my waist and deepened the kiss. 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
Zoey's POV They were talking so heartily at the dinner table. Even Jaya had joined them too, leaving me feeling like an outcast. With a frown, I forced the food I was chewing down my throat. 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
Zoey's POVAfter dressing up, I went to Jaya's room and didn't find him. I took the stairs to the living room and met his nanny. “Where is Jaya?” I asked, and she told me he went out with Alpha Ethan. 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
Alpha Ethan's POV“You look great, Dad,” Jaya complimented me as I walked into the sitting room. “Thanks,” I said and placed a kiss on his forehead before taking the seat beside him. “I wish I was an adult; then I would have come with you too,” he said and pouted while I smiled. “Don't worry; we will take you along next time. 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. So, Mr. Smart, tell me what other words do you know about that I don't know,” I asked, r
Alpha Ethan’s POV“Welcome back, Alpha,” my men at the mansion greeted as we walked inside the mansion. 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. After boasting of his supposed strength, he went upstairs to have a change of clothes with his nanny, leaving me and Zoey in the living room.I took a seat across from her, and our gazes met, but she instantly loo
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
Alpha Ethan's POVThere was something strange about Zoey, something different that I just couldn't pick. 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. "Yes, I went back there to have sex with him because the healer made it known that you have until dawn, and if the
