ALPHA ZAYN'S DISTRUST のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

ZAYNOn a quiet Tuesday afternoon, I finally received a text from Irene relaying Maisie's message that Lincoln was out of town and would return in the evening, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity for me to check out that cabin that was behind their house while they were not around. To avoid drawing attention from the pack, my men and I chose an alternate route through the forest with the guidance of the pack healer.The mission turned out to be a relaxing walk for both me and my men. Wolves were creatures created by the moon goddess and protected my mother earth, so our habitats were always built around nature. The air was thick with the scent of pine and damp earth musk, with tall, dense trees enveloping us as we ventured deep into the forest. My wolf sprawled lazily in the relaxed atmosphere, enjoying the warmth of the sun above us and the warm breeze as we moved past a carpet of fallen leaves. After a few minutes, we arrived at the secluded cabin which was the only structu

ZaynAfter the events at the anniversary party, my mood worsened once the effects of the alcohol wore off. I found myself constantly snapping at my colleagues, giving out orders in a harsh manner throughout the day. However, none of them seemed bothered by my harsh words, which left me confused until Micah explained it to me.“Look, I don't know what you and your mate did last night,” The deliberate wiggle of his eyebrows made me growl but he continued, “But it has calmed your wolf a lot. The men and I were even afraid that you would lose control and were preparing a contingency plan just in case-”“Yeah, I get it.” I ran a weary hand down my face. “What about the pack priestess? Has she returned from her trip?”Micah nodded, and I was grateful that he agreed to change the topic, “Yes, she is. Some of our men also came back with some valuable information that would help us in finding out the children's whereabouts.”Before he could elaborate more, I was already on my feet heading towa

ZAYNAfter what happened to the men stalking me, I could tell that the look in Lincoln's eyes had changed towards me. The sight of men's dead bodies hanging on a tree next to the alpha's house was enough to send any message of respect across the conceited man who thought himself my equal.I also found it amusing when he started asking me subtle questions about my departure but the notarization had been deliberately brought to an excruciatingly slow process that would drive anyone insane. My men and I could tell that he was trying to drive me away before the Moon Stone Festival came so he wouldn't have to invite me.But he seemed he had a lot of things to deal with especially since the news of the pack priestess's demise had spread through the pack, instilling fear and trepidation among its inhabitants. “I have seen this before,” I told the Moon Stone alpha when he called me to his study. “A similar case happened to a pack where the pack priestess offended the moon goddess. She went i

ZAYN After our dinner had ended, I stayed around chatting with Amber who seemed more interested in the gossip about Gwen's pregnancy. Meanwhile, I subtly focused my senses on locating the people upstairs, and I was grateful when I was able to hear Alexei's faint breathing while my mate's awareness pulsated through the mating bond. At that moment, I received a direct text from my mate asking me to meet her upstairs. If it wasn't for my knowledge that Maisie could outdrink most men in the Great Landmark, I would have thought she was truly drunk for making me do something so dangerous. But I also knew that she was no fool, so I asked Lincoln, “Can I use your bathroom, please?” “Oh, of course,” Lincoln gave me some directions so I excused myself from the table and went upstairs. As I navigated my way toward the hallway, I quickly found Alexei's bedroom and was about to open the door when my senses picked up a familiar scent. My hands instantly fell from the doorknob, as I continued

ZAYNI couldn't help but regret those words I said to Maisie after she left the pack river in her wolf form. The wounded look in her eyes was like a punch in my gut but I knew this was the best decision to make. My desire for her was almost uncontrollable but I knew that I would never forgive myself if I touched her then. She was no longer mine which meant I had lost the right to intimate skin privileges. As much as that hurt me, my principles couldn't allow me to bed another man's woman so I drove her away before I did something I knew I would regret. My thoughts of Maisie kept tormenting me throughout the night but the next morning was bright and sunny which made it perfect for me to spend some quality time with my men. I could sense their longing for pack touch so we played some games together before making some private calls to our loved ones at home. From what I heard, Kodiak was doing an excellent job deceiving my Beta and pack elders as the alpha of the Frost Fang pack. But
