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
LAURA My little girl is home. I was shocked when I woke up that night. Zach called home to tell Liam they had found Zara. They had found my little girl. It had been a few very long days waiting for them to return after Liam had gone to help get her home safely. I was sitting in the kitchen with Rosa and Xander when Liam’s voice sounded in my head. I got happy and also excited because I knew that meant they weren’t far from home, and not long after, I felt a new member being added to the pack. ‘I had to make her a pack member again. She smelled like a rouge.’ Liam says through the mindlink. ‘I felt it. They must have done something when they took her.’ I say. ‘Yes, and she was a small kid only connected here because you were. Had she grown up here, the packlink would have grown with her. But now she is here. But baby, you need to be prepared.’ He says. ‘What do you mean?’ I ask, but somehow I know. I just don’t want to admit it. ‘It’s bad, baby. Her body is covered in scars. And
ZARA Aiden took my hand and we walked up the stairs to the second floor, to show me around. Having my hand in his feels good and makes me relax. “There are 3 bedrooms on this floor a private TV room and a small kitchen for small snacks drinks in the fridge stuff like that,” Aiden tells me as we are walking between the doors. He walks into the TV room and I look around, the room has a couch that looks soft to sit in and a huge TV on the wall. “We can change everything some will have it the way we would like. Colors on walls, furniture, and whatever you would want to change. And this counts for every room here, I want you to feel good here and feel safe.“ Aiden continues and I turn around and look at him. “I think we should decide together,” I tell him and he smiles at me. “I would love that.” He says and kisses my temple before he takes my hand and we leave the room. He shows me the small kitchen before walking towards the last 4 doors. He opens the first door and we walk inside.
hello allI just want to inform you that I by mistake got two new chapters mixed up with each other. and added chapter 20 before chapter 19.I fixed this and am only waiting for the editor to accept the changes.I apologize for the confusionalso I read in some comments there was a bit of confusion about Aiden. for those who read the first book "the king and the rejected she-wolf" a while back you would know Aiden as the boy Kai that Mack adopted. I changed the name. and have done so in both stories, so any future readers won't get confused.again. thank you for reading and for following the book//Sal
ZARAI woke up feeling the sun falling on me and opened my eyes. First, I was s little confused as I was lying on a couch with Aiden lying behind me with his arms around me. We must have fallen asleep while watching the movie.I didn’t think I would ever be comfortable with a man being close to me, and honestly, I do not like when someone touches me. But it is different with Aiden. He makes me feel calm and safe, and that even more after he fought Alpha Chase for me. I know a lot of it must be the matebond, but it’s more than that, I think. I slowly try to get Aiden’s arms away, so I can go to the bathroom.“Mm. Don’t leave.” Aiden mumbles tiredly.“I need to use the bathroom,” I whisper softly, not sure he heard me, but he moves his arm so I can stand up.I run into the bathroom and do my business before I take a closer look. Looking at the shower, I really want to take a hot shower,
ZARA Everyone walked into the big living room and sat down on couches and chairs. I sit on a big comfortable chair with Aiden sitting on the armrest. Dad and mom are sitting on another chair my brothers are on the couch with grandpa and Rosa. Dad said Aiden’s mom and dad wanted to be here too, but dad had said no to that. “First Zara I want you to know that no one here will judge you. We just want to know what you have been through so we better can help you and be there for you. We all love you and care about you.” I Nod my head and take a deep breath. “The people I was with told me to call them Master and Mistress.” I start, and slowly, I begin telling them about how I, as a child, was always kept in my room and ever only got out when the Witch was trying g to do something. I still don’t understand what it was. I also tell them about when the Mistress wanted me to begin cleaning the house and begin to learn cooking. I
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
