ZARA
I wake up to the sound of grandpa’s yelling, an angry snarl, and the sound of fighting. I jolt up and hurry outside the cave we are currently resting in. Grandpa is fighting against two rouges. But even if they are two against one, they are no match for my strong grandpa. It didn’t take long before they both lay dead on the ground, and grandpa did not even shift.
It was three days ago I had that dream, and the feeling of being pulled is getting stronger. We have had some run-ins with some rouges. Some wanted to fight, but we also met a small family that just wanted to be left in peace.
“Zara, hurry, get your bag. We can’t stay. There can be more of them lurking around.” I nodded, Being pulled out of my own thoughts, and ran inside the cave, got my bag, stripped off my clothes and put them in it, and shifted into Sierra’s wolf-form. She grabs the bag and runs outside where grandpa had shifted too.
ZARAI walked between the trees along the river. Feeling the pull gets stronger, and the scent of eucalyptus and cedar wood gets stronger too. I hear the sound of someone moving around in the water. Hiding behind a tree, I see the back of a strong body with tattoos. My breathing goes up a little, and I feel drawn to this unknown guy. I try to move a little closer but accidentally step on some branches and can see his shoulders go tense. But then the wind changed, and it came from behind me towards the guy in the river, making me gasp. I watch how his shoulders relax again, and then he slowly turns, and I am met with the blue-green eyes I saw in my dream.He is frozen, standing there looking at me. He looks exactly like I had dreamed about, and everything inside me tells me I can trust him. He wakes up from his frozen stance in the water and moves to the edge of the river before standing up on the ground, naked.I gasp and close my eyes, turning
ZACH We found her! It feels so surreal. We found my precious sister, and it turned out everyone was right. Aiden is her mate. Afterward, she took us to where she and our grandpa, whom I had not seen since we were kids, were resting for the night. We talked for a bit and agreed that Aiden and I would go get our stuff and come back here.We turned to leave when a small whimper came from Zara. We turned to look, and before we knew it, she ran into Aiden’s arms, and he held her softly.“I will be right, beautiful, promise.” He said, and she nodded. I guess she was scared he wouldn’t come back. He hugged her before letting go, and we turned again to run back to our stuff.When we got there, the first thing I did was grab my phone. It was just before midnight, but I knew dad wanted to know right away that we had found her. I turned on my phone and called his number again for the second time tonight.“Zach?&
ZARAOpening my eyes, I realize I must have fallen asleep last night while I was sitting with Aiden and talking. He had told me about my mom and dad. But also about Zach and my other brother Xander. He told me a little about how broken and sad my mom had been after my kidnapping. But he also told me that my mom is pregnant after already having miscarried a few times.He told me how he and my brothers had trained hard, so they could help look for me. He also told me he is the adopted son of my dad’s beta and that his birth parents are dead.Looking around, I am inside the cave, and a pair of strong arms are wrapped around me. I know by the scent it’s Aiden and decides to just lay still for a bit. To my surprise, I feel very comfortable in his arms and know it must be the matebond that makes me so comfortable around him.I thought about what he said last night about marking each other. There was a good point in doing it, so othe
LIAM‘Run, Shadow, run as fast you can.’ I urge him, but I know I don’t have to say it. When we heard the words coming from Zach, we were all ready to run.I let Shadow have complete control and think back to when my phone had informed me of an incoming call. Seeing Zach’s name on the screen, I did for a second fear the worst because I had already spoken to him earlier.*FLASHBACK*Zach?” I asked“We found her dad.” He rushed out.“What, Zara?” I ask, shocked because I had honestly begun to think we would never find her. I look at Laura, who is waking up here next to me.“Yes, Aiden found her, or she found him. They are mates. They have been feeling the pull.” He continues.“How is she? Is she alright?” I ask, wanting to Smack myself for asking such a stupid question.“She is alright. Grandpa Bryan found
ZARA I don’t know what happened when the king talked to me. But I knew then that even if he isn’t my birth father, he is my dad. He held me for a long time, whispering calm words. After he let go, Aiden hugged me and asked me if I was okay. And I was, but I was so exhausted, years of abuse and being partly starved and been on the run for days now, my body was giving up. Not wanting me to get hurt because of exhaustion, Aiden told me not to shift today but sit on his wolf. While we were running, he wanted me to rest. Dad, grandpa, and Zach all agreed with him, so I did as he said. I was so tired I slept while he was running and was surprised I had not fallen off. It was now two full days when we only stopped to eat and drink. While I had not shifted but been on the back of Zeus and dad’s wolf Shadow so that Zeus could relax a little from the extra weight. But now we were all resting by the fire, and dad told us we would reach the pack
AIDEN“Adopted? So you are not even of Beta blood?” Alpha Chase smirks, thinking he already has won.“No, Alpha, but I am an Alpha-born wolf that the king himself has trained,” I tell him, and for a second, I see uncertainty flash in his eyes.Good, this piece of shit thinks he can take my mate from me. He is in for a surprise of his life. I pull off my shirt, my tattoos coming into sight, and I see him get big eyes.Getting tattoos as a wolf is not easy as we will heal when done in the usual way. To not make them heal and disappear, you need to have wolfsbane to the ink.I move away so the others won’t be caught in the fight and gets ready.“I am waiting. Alpha.” At least our bond is nowhere completed, so I know Zara won’t be feeling this.Liam stepped forward“Here are the rules for this challenge. There will be no shifting, but it is allowed to bring your
ZARAA sound woke me up. I was still in a sleeping Aiden’s arms. I looked beside me and saw dad and grandpa were sleeping, but Zach was awake, having his eyes locked on something or someone. I gently removed Aiden’s arm and sat up, and saw that it was Alpha Chase; Zach was keeping an eye on. However, when my eyes fell on Alpha Chase, his eyes were locked onto Aiden and me, hatred burning in his eyes.Zack noticed me waking up and smiled at me. I smiled back and went to sit next to him.“Morning, sis.” He grinned.“Morning, Brother,” I answered, making him smile even bigger. He hugged me, and I relaxed.“We will reach home today. Dad wants us to run the rest of the way today.” Zach tells me, and I nod my head.“I am nervous,” I admit.“Why?” he asks, surprised.“What if she gets disappointed?” I say.“Mom?” he
ZARADad decided we should walk the last part without shifting. I was walking in silence and could hear dad and grandpa agree to sit down and talk about what he knew the next day. Dad wants us to use the rest of the day to let me get settled in and for us all to rest. After a little I felt as if someone was pushing at my mind, like when Sierra talked to me, but still different.‘It's our mate trying g to talk through the mindlink. Just think about how you let him into your mind and speak to him like that.’ Sierra tells me. I do as she says, and I hear Aiden’s voice in my head.‘Welcome home, beautiful.’ He tells me‘Thank you. I am nervous.’ I admit.‘I know, I can feel it. But I will be by your side for as long as you want and need me.’ He promises.‘You don’t want to go home to your family?’ I ask him, not wanting to take him away from them.&ls
ZARAAfter dad left for his office to talk with this Elder Andrews, we all went into the living room and waited for him to return. No one said a lot, other than mom asking if we all got home safe. Zach looked at Aiden and me, then smiled and said yes, we all got home just good.Zoey got fussy, and Aiden got up, picked her up gently from the pram, and handed her to mom so she could feed her.Zach and Xander looked at each other and then grinned at Aiden.“Yo, Aiden, you think you will have your own soon?” Zach asked, grinning. Aiden ignored the teasing and answered.“Maybe if I am lucky. But it will happen when it does. Though I won’t mind having a little one.” He says, knowing he just ruined Zach’s chance to tease us.Mom is about to say something, but then dad comes into the room looking all serious. He sits down and looks at us.“The Elders had another meeting after they rec
AIDEN I couldn’t sleep because I was too engrossed in the most amazing feeling I had ever felt. Zara has given herself to me fully now. Our matebond was completed. I have been completely on board with knowing that this could have taken a lot longer than it has. And have put my time and love into showing her that I will never leave her.Not only does she have my mark, but now my scent is mixed with hers, even stronger than the scent from that wolf who had raped her repeatedly. So now everyone will know that she belongs to only one man. Me.I also told her for the first time that I love her. I have wanted to tell her for a while, but I did not want to overwhelm her. Hearing her say she loved me also made me happier than I imagined it would.I think about our future, and unlike before, I think it is looking a lot brighter. When I saw her sitting with little Zoey, I couldn’t help but imagine her with our own kids someday. Being w
ZARAWe stayed a bit longer before we left so the others could come in and see Zoey and mom. Aiden and I left after getting out, knowing that they would need rest once everyone had seen them.When we got home, we went upstairs to our room, and I started to get a little nervous, but Aiden seemed completely calm. So I began to relax and went to get a shower before bed to get my makeup off. I was standing in the shower facing the wall, so I didn’t notice Aiden before I felt him putting his arms around my naked body from behind me.I didn’t say anything but relaxed into his arms as he softly kissed the back of my neck and shoulders. I closed my eyes and decided to enjoy this time with him. He softly caressed my stomach as his kisses moved from my shoulder to where he marked me. I moaned when he kissed and sucked on his mark, and his hands moved up to my breasts, where he softly began to knead them the same way he did when we were i
LIAM‘Liam!’ I felt Laura opening our mindlink.‘Yes, baby?’‘My water broke.’ She tells me, making me almost tilt my desk when I stand up to rush upstairs.You would think I, by now, would be used to this. I mean, I was there when the twins were born, and then later Xander. But no, I am just as stressed as I was the first time.I reach our room, finding Laura on the couch, panting in pain. One look and I see that her water surely did break. I hurry over to her and scoop her up into my arms before rushing down the stairs.“XANDER, ZACH,” I Yell as I am getting downstairs, and it doesn’t take long before they are coming down the stairs, making me realize they probably were in their rooms.“What’s going on, dad?” Xander asks.“Your mom’s water broke. Get her back and come to the hospital.” I demand not waiting for a response
AIDENI looked at her as she ate the tiramisu we ordered for dessert. Again small, barely hearable moans left her, and I could feel my pants getting tighter every time. And she was so beautiful tonight my heart stopped beating for a few seconds when she came down the stairs.I wanted her to have a night that she will remember for the rest of our life. So I planned this, our first real date, down to every step of it. The last few months have been amazing, especially after we marked each other. Being able to feel her emotions made things so much easier for me to know if I was going too far or not.Zeus also loves when he and Sierra are being let out for runs together. It’s so important that they get time together. What was amazing was that even though those two had never been through the form of abuse Zara has, they never once took their matebond further. Zeus had told me they both want to, but that they respect that Zara is in a sensitive p
ZARA I am standing in front of the big mirror in the bathroom. I am wearing a short, cream-colored bodycon dress with a square neck and the back and sleeves are in lace, and a pair of matching flats. Mom is helping me to put my hair in a bun, with a few strays of hair framing my face, and putting a light natural makeup on that makes my blue contacts pop.Looking in the mirror, I can not see any trace of the girl I was before I was saved. True to his word, Aiden has been incredibly patient with me. Even though I can feel through our bond how much he wants me, all of me, but he has not once pressured me. After we marked each other that night, I found it a little hard not to touch him; I know he feels the same. So we have touched each other, and I have slowly realized that being intimate doesn’t have to be something that gives pain. Because every time he touches me, my body tingles and gives me butterflies in my stomach.The first time he ha
ZARA I don’t know how long I slept. But when I woke up feeling the sun warming me, I didn’t open my eyes immediately. So many things happened yesterday, getting marked, marking Aiden. I sit up in a rush opening my eyes. The moon-goddess, she was here? Or was it a dream? I think about what she told me and fail to notice the hot piece of a guy lying in bed next to me.“Morning, beautiful,” Aiden's voice sounds next to my ear before he kisses my shoulder with small kisses before gently kissing my mark. I momentarily forget my thoughts and worries as a delightful shiver runs through me. I turn my head and look at him.“Morning, how long did I sleep,” I ask. Pegging his lips with a small kiss, he smiles.“Almost 12 hours. I woke up and went to do my training, but you were still sleeping when I got back.” He whispers. I all of a sudden feel a wave am care and love hit me, and I realize it is comi
ZARA I woke up feeling warm. I felt Aiden’s arms around me, holding me tight, but it was not what made me feel hot. It feels like I am burning up from the inside. I remove Aiden’s arm that is holding me and stumble out of bed. I walk into the main room. I forgot to take the shirt that Aiden had taken off me to have better access to my neck. The burning feeling gets worse, and I don’t know what is happening.‘We need to get outside.’ Sierra’s voice reaches me.‘What, why?’ I ask.‘We need the moon.' Is all she says.I hurry out of our room and downstairs, still not dressed in a shirt. I open the glass door from the living room leading to the garden next to the forest. I look up and see that the moon is full and looks so beautiful.‘Sierra?’ I ask again.‘Take off your bracelet.’ She tells me.“Why?” I ask“Jus
AIDEN Fuck.I have heard others talking about the feeling and the pleasure they had when marking each other. But everyone I knew had done it doing sex, so I honestly thought that would have increased any feeling they had felt.But when Zara let her canines sink into my neck, I felt as if my entire body was on fire for a second, and then the pleasure hit me harder than any orgasm ever had. My cock had instantly grown harder than ever, and I almost came right then and there inside my pants. I couldn’t help it. I grabbed her hips and pressed her down on me, making me moan, feeling her pressed against my cock.She shuddered as she removed her canines and ran her tongue over to stop the bleeding, and slowly met my eyes. I know she could see and feel the lust that was crashing through my body right now. I remove my hands and try to look away, not wanting to scare her. But she won’t let me. She grabs my face and makes me look at her
