As Beta Zoey brought a carved bowl towards her lips, Zara perceived a pungent smell that made her turn her head to the side.
“Ah…” Zoey let out a whispered breath. “I should probably tell you what it is.”
Beta Zoey set the bowl on the small bench that was positioned at the end of her bed.
Her lips still sealed, a solemn look in her eyes, Zara faced him and all that raced through her mind was her initial perception of the man-wolf.
She had found him a person likely to have a deceptive nature and at that moment, Zaramanni wondered if she should continue to trust her earlier judgement.
Or, if she could put a little trust in the tall man who had said that he would help her with the softest gesture ever- even if that gesture contradicted his surface personality.
Zoey who was squatting covered her hands that rested on her lap.
Zaramanni was going to with

The first thing Zara noticed as she walked into her assigned room in the manor was her phone.The device stayed lifeless on the bed, next to a neatly arranged pile of clothes.Recalling that she lost the new bag she got while she was with Alisha, Zara felt ecstatic that the things that reminded her of home were still around. Though she missed her hoodie, Zara was glad she had her phone and tote bag.Zaramanni raced toward the bed and hit the power button of the device, eager to hear that familiar tone and see the image that would remind her of home.While she waited for her phone to boot, her sight travelled to the stack of garments. A closer look at the pile and Zara could deduce that they were about her size.The girl twisted her lips to the side as she recalled that Sham mentioned taking her to a seamstress for new clothes.So, except the seamstress took her body measurements while she was sleeping and magically finished sewin

"I can't believe I forgot to get shoes," Clarissa sounded displeased as she watched Zaramanni struggle with the second leg of the thick socks she brought for her.They were on their way to the library when Zara pointed out how chilly the ground was. Clarissa rushed to a nearby room to get some footwear, but, somehow, she forgot shoes."Are the socks okay?" Clarissa asked, with great worry. "Are they a perfect size? It seems your feet are a little bigger than mine."Soon, Zaramanni planted her covered feet on the ground and she relished how comfortable she was. It was as though the footwear had cushions in them because they made standing more convenient."They fit very well, Clarissa. You don't have to beat yourself up.""If Beta Zoey hears about this, I won't be spared. He specifically told me that he wants you to be as comfortable as possible.""I am sure he won't be that angry," Zara tried to soothe her concerns."No." C

His firm hold around Laura's neck maintained, his lips explored the skin around her shoulder area, and King Darren quickly wondered if Zaramanni made it to the manor and if she had already met Lord Elias.He trusted that the librarian would explain things to the half-fairy.For some reason, he was yet to bring himself to have a conversation with her. And he didn't want to.Ever since the vampire incident, the Alpha had been feeling spiteful. And, each time he recalled that incident and how tiny Zaramanni felt in his hold, a huge ball of resentment settled within him.Darren wanted to believe that it was his raging wolf that was hating the girl.But, he was aware of the feeling in a part of his heart. He started to feel disgust toward the girl even though he was aware that she did not deserve a pinch of such a reaction.“My love… Hmm… Right there,” Laura moaned as she moved seductively o

As Zaramanni walked into her room, she asked herself a question she had never thought of. For the first time, she wondered who her parents were. No doubt, one of them was a fairy, the other a human. But, while growing up with her granny, there was no mention of who her parents were. Nor were there pictures or proof in form of material things that could point out that her parents were ever around. There was nothing that could indicate who they were either. That thought failed to weigh her down. Zaramanni was quick to dismiss it since she wouldn’t be getting answers soon. Zara was about to reach for her phone after shifting the ball of clothes on her bed aside when she felt a sudden tap on her shoulders, the touch making her greatly startled. In the process of spinning her legs, her heart seemed to beat slower but she soon sighed with relief when she saw the person who had asked for her attention. With a little frown on his manly face which was further detailed thanks to his

‘What were you thinking, Zaramanni?’ The shrill voice of the principal reached her ears. ‘You almost killed Gavin!’ Rustling noises followed. ‘What were you even doing with broken glasses?’ Zaramanni looked up, her hard gaze tearing away from her hands which were coated with Gavin’s blood hours ago. When she locked eyes with the principal, the woman whose red-ginger hair was well layered on her shoulders in all of its glow, let out a soft gasp. It was almost as though she could see something in Zara’s eyes that she had never seen before. But, the principal soon composed herself, cleared her throat, sat up, and said, ‘You have to be punished for what you have done. You almost killed Gavin. If not for his kindness and consideration, you will be in jail right now.’ ‘Mrs. Amber,’ Gavin spoke from where he was seated. ‘It is fine. She must have been angered by something. I am just glad I was there to stop her from harming herself.’ ‘Wow.’ The woman had dreamy eyes and she dutifully

“Who are you?” Beta Zoey’s booming voice questioned, his feet approaching the aching scene. The man who was speaking cruelly to Clarissa got on his feet. “I-” Zoey temporarily paid no heed to Andrea whose countenance had quickly changed. After helping Zaramanni off the ground, the Beta's face wore a frown because of a little groan that slipped out of Zara's lips. The way she dearly held the side of her stomach concerned Zoey as well. That display of slight pain caused Zoey to dart flaming glares in the direction of the strange man that had found his way into the manor. “What did you do?” he demanded. “I- I didn’t mean to-” Andrea sighed as he watched the uniformed men who were walking with Beta Zoey help Clarissa. “I was just trying to talk to my mate.” “Clarissa?” Zoey was still closely holding Zara, as though saying he would never leave her unless something forces him to do so. “Yes. I was just trying to have a conversation with my wife who has not been home for days bu

“Zara, I am fine,” Clarissa said weakly. “You can stop watching me so closely. Honestly,” the she-wolf narrowed her eyes, “you are freaking me out.” Zaramanni didn’t leave Clarissa’s hand. She continued to hold it dearly as they waited for one of the guardians. “I just need to make sure you are doing fine,” she replied. “I am moving into your room while I am still in a hospital bed, you will have plenty of time to see if I am doing okay. Now,” she waved the girl away, “take a few steps back and let me breathe.” Zaramanni reluctantly complied but her eyes never left the woman whose bed was positioned in front of her room. They were waiting for the doctor’s instructions concerning Clarissa's transfer into Zaramanni's room. After Clarissa woke up from her long slumber, something in the woman's eyes tugged at Zaramanni's heart. It caused Zara to decide to keep the woman close by placing her hospital bed in her room. Besides, the hospital wing of the manor was too far away, the sor

Alpha Darren was about to lose it. His eyes filled with anger, he glared at the wooden surface in front of him, his hands pressing the sculptured handles of his majestic and comfortable chair. “I am sure he is close by,” Beta Fam spoke, his eyes carrying a look of caution. He didn’t want to piss off the King who looked like he could cause the entire room to face chaos within the blink of an eye. “This is our first council meeting since the attack, how can Beta Zoey be this late?” Verano pack's representative, Beta Howli said from the other end of the table where he had tucked himself into. The he-wolf who barely uttered words on a good day surprised others when he further said, “Alpha Darren, please be patient. I am sure Beta Zoey has a reason for this.” “He has probably forgotten there’s a meeting today,” Sham added and his tone was notably filled with some kind of smugness. “Let’s not be hasty with our thoughts,” Lord Elias finally spoke. “There must be a reason for his laten

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

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

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

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
