ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FORTY FOUR
Zaramanni had often wondered what the rooms on the other side of the manor were like. So, with seriousness, she took in the interior of the grand fireplace room they were in, and she found that the space was more beautiful than her room.Coupled with the delightful use of reddish-brown wood that created architectural magic, the plain walls, heavily patterned drapes, and growing warmth made the space more comfortable to look at and be in.“Here,” Clarissa said, her hand stretching a ceramic cup in Zara’s way, the steam emitting from the object making Zaramanni curious about the content of the cup. Bracing her lips for the slight torture that it was about to face, Zaramanni surfaced her nostrils above the steam and noted the sweet smell the liquid was giving. If her guess was right, it smelled almost like the strawberry tea her Granny took four times a week. Soon, the heated liquid went down her throat in small sips, the burning sensation dying before the drink could reach the back of
ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
Ensuring that her slender figure was still covering Isaac, Zaramanni wore a deep scowl in reaction to Lord Elias’s unbelievable words. Then, with a certain thickening in her voice, she asked, “What do you mean by that?”“Zaramanni, are you questioning me?” “I think I have to, considering the ridiculous statement you just made.”Lord Elias’s brows went up a notch. He was about to take a sharp breath that would precede a loud utterance, but he stopped himself. His right hand gave a dismissive wave and he faced the guard on his side who was boldly wearing a wolf-head necklace. “I have no time to deal with her, get her out of the way and bring me the young wolf.”A curt nod from the long-haired man and he began to strut toward Isaac who Zaramanni was still blocking from prying hands.“Not a step forward,” Zara ordered the he-wolf who was also wearing arm splints with purple wolf marks, an indication that he was of the gamma rank, one of the elite guards. “Not a single step forward,” she
ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FORTY SIX
The day of the highly esteemed party arrived sooner than Zaramann expected. While she wished to gather more mental strength to help her deal with being within a crowd, Zara found something else distracting her.As she settled into the passenger seat of the weremobile that was meant to take her and Clarissa to Zenrada’s palace, Zaramanni found herself raking her fingers through her newly cut hair.The moment Clarissa cut off a huge chunk of her hair was something Zara was yet to forget. Though she felt a slight ache in her head when the enormous scissors met her hair, the few seconds that followed greatly soothed Zaramanni’s soul.And things got better when she opened her eyes. Her hair, already shoulder-length and not haggardly cut, was no longer the shade of blue it was. As though watching something unbelievably miraculous, which they were, Zara and Clarissa kept their keen gazes on her hair as it began to curl on its own, wearing all the shades of colour it had worn before at the s

“Freaking amazing.” Clarissa clapped her hands loudly, her eyes twinkling as she watched Zaramanni twirl in her dress. “Absolutely amazing. I knew this dress was this one, but now that I see you in it…” A sharp breath and Clarissa moved closer to Zaramanni, her hands cupping the shoulders of her dress. “... I am more than certain that I did a great job.” The image in the mirror was strange to Zaramanni and that was because she was so beautiful. She had never seen herself looking that good. Before that moment, she never felt amazing about wearing clothes. What good were clothes if they failed to hide her uniqueness from prying eyes? That was what Zaramanni thought whenever her Granny tried to make her wear clothes that were fancier than her normal wear. But at that moment… Coupled with the shine in her hair and the unexpected glow on her skin, she was gorgeous. Zaramanni felt really, really good about herself. And Clarissa didn’t fail to share her excitement. But the she-wolf
ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN (2)
Clarissa and Zaramanni sported bulged eyes as their eyes devoured the orange lights that filled the room. A chandelier hanging from a long chain, and the semi-circle-shaped tables that had exquisite chairs tucked into them, wore small bulbs of orange lights that made the room shine beautifully. But there was something about the chandelier. From afar, it looked as though it was flaming. It was a cool sight. Some people were already seated, and some were grooving to the vibrant music with bright smiles on their faces. Zaramanni, with a certain joy growing in her heart, took note of the many open windows in the large hall. Artistic stone arches formed the window frames, and the high apertures wore colourful ribbons that assisted the orange lights in making the room look more beautiful. “I don’t think the Alpha King will be coming today,” Clarissa said as she leaned closer to Zara’s ears. “Why?” “His seat is not here.” Zara’s lips scrunched while she followed Clarissa’s lin
ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT
It was as though stones had been fixed into the soles of her feet. Zara’s eyes felt itchy in the worst way. Her throat became dry, and she found it hard to let something soothe the feeling. And, her heart hitched for a second, only to thud mercilessly after.Zaramanni then closed her eyes. Before she opened them, she prayed, with all her might, that the woman covered in blood, that the woman close to death's doorstep, was not Clarissa.But when she opened her eyes, her knees kissed the ground. Zara became numb and the noise around her became faint mumbles. As the feeling of lifelessness rested on her soul, Zaramanni placed her sight on Clarissa. That was all she could see anyway. The terrible state of the she-wolf’s body was in focus and Zara could not stop releasing thick, short breaths as she tried to fully process the moment.But it soon occurred to her that she would never be able to process it. The fact that Clarissa, who she was speaking to minutes ago, was maliciously sprawle
ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FORTY NINE
Zara didn’t want to believe the guard’s response. She didn’t want the words she heard to be true, but as one of the men that were standing at attention moved closer to the heap in focus and opened the straw mat, a quivering breath escaped her lungs. Zaramanni began to feel constrictions in her throat and her heart bled with more sorrow. Her skin started feeling itchy and for a second, it looked as though she was about to approach the edge of insanity. As she desperately circled the skin of her neck with her shaky hands, she attempted scratching her arms to get rid of the crawling feeling on her skin, but her gown was a great hurdle. But it didn’t remain a hurdle for too long. The arms easily came off as she yanked at them, ripping sounds filled the tense atmosphere. With a grunt, she tossed the mutilated materials aside and began to scratch her itchy skin, her head periodically tilting to the side as her reddening eyes stayed glued on Isaac’s purplish face. But nothing she did to
ZARAMANNI PART TWO: CHAPTER FIFTY
When Zaramanni woke up from the slumber she wasn’t aware she fell into, she noted that she was not in her bed. Without opening her eyes, she could tell that much. And when she noted that the scent that surrounded her was not that of Beta Zoey’s, her eyes snapped open and she sat up. With caution tucked into her narrowed eyes, she scanned the aesthetic ceiling of the room. Then, she studied the enormous bed that she thought would conveniently take about ten slim people. When she looked ahead and studied the layout of the room, it occurred to her that she had come to that place before. She just didn't recall the details. When Zara got off the somewhat high bed, she noticed that she was dressed in one of Zoey’s shirts and that made her wonder if Zoey had another room in the manor. But then, Zaramanni could strongly sense that she was not in the manor. Unlike the rooms she had seen in the Crown-Blood Manor, that room was colourful, grandly exquisite and it was like a room meant for a K

In no time, the hour of their departure arrived. And in order to avoid displaying emotions such as hatred and anger, Zara made sure to give herself a nice speech about being a good-mannered half-fairy. She was already reminding herself that Alpha Darren would never be called her mate when Lord Elias’s voice interrupted her. “Are you ready?” Lord Elias asked as the long-robed, heavily-hooded individual beside him started creating a huge ball of portal. “Once you get there, you can ask the dragon to create a return portal.” “Is there anything else we should know?” Alpha Darren asked, his backpack sturdily strapped to his back. His bag was so big that Zara wondered what was inside it. “I think I have said everything necessary,” Lord Elias replied. Then he faced Sham who was struggling with the belt around his hard trousers. “Gamma Sham, you are the King’s guard, you know what to do.” “I am aware of my duties, Lord Elias. There is no need to be unduly concerned.” A small jerk of his

“I guess we are all here,” Alpha Darren said. And Zaramanni took her eyes off the Luna who was majestically seated beside the King.It had been three days since she saw the scene she could have never imagined. She could still see the images of their sweaty bodies sliding and glueing into each other. So, as she darted her sight back to Sham who was standing opposite her, she wondered what his deal was. It was quite gutsy of him to be sleeping with the Alpha’s wife.“Zaramanni…” Zoey announced his presence by tickling her earlobe with his thick breath. After reaching for her fisted hand, he said, “Stop thinking so hard and focus. This meeting is crucial.”“Oh…” Zara relaxed her full-of-hate-and-worry expression and took a look around the throne room where every member of the council decided to have the meeting concerning the coming war. The room had a regency vibe attached to it, especially with the high windows and lengthy walkway which lead to the high platform on which the Alpha an
ZARAMANNI PART ONE: CHAPTER NINE(B2)
Glad that Beta Zoey kept his word and stayed by her side all night, Zaramanni woke up the next day, unbothered by the drama that usually came with her period. Her lips wearing a smile, Zara quickly left the weird sleep posture she was in and turned to face the man in her thoughts. But instead of giggles, a shriek left her and she was almost kissing the ground with her buttocks. Staring back at her was the biggest wolf she had seen since her encounter with Alpha Darren’s blood-thirsty wolf. Eyes greatly widened in caution, Zara scanned the reckless way the animal sprawled itself on the bed which was surprisingly yet to break down. “Uh… Zoey?” Zara called into the room and she hoped that her man was close enough to save her from whatever danger she was about to face. “Z-Zoey?” Her feet gently found the coldness of the tiles.She was about to trail her steps backward when a little whimper reached her ears. “Uh… Zoey?”The whimper came again and the half-fairy finally got herself to

“Please, make it quick,” Zara urged Laura once they found a fairly quiet corner to stand at.“I have no intention to have long talks with you.”“Okay?” Zara replied, her eyes rolling in reaction. Just the mere presence of the woman annoyed her in a way she could not explain.“The Alpha King and I are not going to break up. We had the most amazing time in bed two days ago. Well, not in bed, but you get me. So, you are not going to succeed in your ridiculous plan.” Silence was all the woman got in response. Brows cocked, she further asked, “Well?”"Well, what?"“You are supposed to say you understand.”"Understand what? Why would I be bothered about you and Alpha Darren? What is my business if you are going to be together for eternity?”The Luna’s bold eyes twitched with anger. “You were in his bed,” she furiously spoke through her teeth.”“And you flogged me for that,” Zara was stern with her response and her gaze. "You have done enough, don’t you think?” “Excuse me? Are you not even

“Are you freaking kidding me?” Zaramanni spat when she saw the person Zoey brought with him. Swiftly, she turned to face the greenery that surrounded the large, cemented ground they were standing on. “I don’t want to see him.”Beta Zoey's sigh was audible. So when she heard it, Zara felt a little terrible.“We need Lord Elias’s help with your powers.” The click-clack of his feet approached her and soon, his hands were resting on her shoulders. “You know that, don’t you? He is presently the only one that can help with the magical side of your powers. I can only teach you ways to protect yourself.”“I know Lord Elias is meant to help me. But…” Zara looked to the side. “... he is the reason Isaac is dead. If he had not rashly pinned the Overlord’s death on him, he might still be alive. If something as terrible as that happened because of Lord Elias, I can not forgive him or place my existence in his hands. I have no intention to do so. So,” she finally turned to face the Beta, “tell him
ZARAMANNI PART ONE: CHAPTER SIX (B2)
Back in Zara’s new room, the couple who had earlier shared a meal was waking up from the deep sleep they fell into.Zara was the first to open her eyes. And when her slightly blurry gaze fell on Zoey’s stubbled chin, she wore a smile. Then, she reached for his face.As she mapped his right cheek, her heart began to flutter and she wondered what she did to deserve having someone like Beta Zoey. Regardless of how he was with other people, he was already eager to show her love. He was always ready to protect her.Zaramanni knew she always wished to have that kind of person on her side when she was still facing her terrible fate in high school, but she never knew she would actually meet such a person. And she would have never guessed that she would get that person in another realm.Her fingers were now hovering below his nostrils when his coloured eyes flew open.“You are awake,” came his grumbled voice.“I am.”Without hesitation, Zoey found her waist and he pulled her closer. With a gri

“Zaramanni, let’s go to your room,” the Beta said as he reached for her hand. Zara looked up at him and when she tried to smile, it failed. “You must be tired,” he said, spelling out the thought in her head. “It has been a few rough days.”“It has.” They began to walk down the corridor and Zara wished they would quickly reach the wing where her new room was. “I prepared something for you.” Zoey’s affectionate gaze made Zara wonder what it was. He answered her before she could ask. “You haven’t eaten in days. So, I instructed the palace chef to cook you something light and simple.”Her tiredness quickly crawled out of its hiding place. The laziness in her legs disappeared but her willingness to do anything, unfortunately, did not return.“Zoey?” she managed to call.“Do you want me to carry you?”As she nodded, Zara wondered if he was always reading her mind. It was amazing yet weird how Zoey knew what she wanted sometimes. While it was cool that there was a means to let someone kn
ZARAMANNI PART ONE: CHAPTER FOUR (B2)
The Alpha King could feel something ticking in his head. That feeling started when Zaramanni dropped a statement that shattered his soul in the worst way. He was still trying to grasp the reality of her statement when Beta Fam decided to act all commando for whatever reason. And as if that was not enough, his wolf came alive and became frenzied because of their proximity to Zaramanni who was wearing a scent that they could not ignore.At that moment, the silence that befell the room after he shut Beta Fam up was still existent. But a few seconds later, screeching noise came from his chair which he briskly pushed away as he stood up.Hands planted on the table, back arched while he tried to keep a sane mind, Alpha Darren wondered for a minute if he would be able to survive being that close to Zaramanni. He could already feel his heart racing more than it did when he first met Laura and the fact that he couldn’t reach for Zara’s hand and escape from that room with her made things w
ZARAMANNI PART ONE: CHAPTER THREE (B2)
“Are we there yet?” Zaramanni asked for the third time, her calves already feeling the effect of walking up a hilly road.Beta Zoey, who was walking ahead with a rather proud gait in his steps, stopped to face her. Stretching his hand and offering his help once again, he said, “We are almost there. Do you want me to carry you?” he offered. Zaramanni almost said no but the throbbing in her legs was enough warning for Zara who quickly nodded and accepted the Beta's offer.“Okay…” His response was filled with excitement as he squatted and offered his broad back.Zaramanni watched as the night’s breeze blew through his hair which had grown a few inches overnight. So, with a smile on her lips, she climbed on his back and asked, “Doesn’t this remind you of that day?”“The day I got rid of the Vampire’s venom from your body?” A little grunt left his lips as he adjusted Zara’s body and gently got on his feet.“Yes. You remember.”“I will never forget things that have to do with you,” Zoey re
