Her boyfriend betrayed her, and she found herself in an unexpected arranged marriage with her Alpha father's sworn enemy. To complicate matters further, her new husband has an identical twin, both claiming to be her true mate. Caught between her sense of duty and the fiery passion that threatens to devour her, will Ziva surrender to the irresistible allure that draws her closer to her dangerous enemies?
Lihat lebih banyakTANIAMy eyes widened in disbelief. What?! Why would Nikolas be recognised as the leader among Alphas?! I mean, Nikolas is an irresponsible he-wolf who is not even capable of dealing with his pack. If it were not for Delilah and his other Beta, the pack would have sunk beyond anyone's expectation.As Nikolas completed his speech, two women dressed in outstanding attire marched forward, their high heels clicking on the floor.They held a small transparent box that showcased a fragment of the powerful Crystal Moon. Unlike the other fragment that was taken away from Granelma Pack, this fragment was glowing and it emitted a dark, dominating aura.âTo the Alpha of Alphas, here is to more happiness and celebration,â the host announced, his voice booming through the ballroom. Another round of applause filled the air, and the box was handed over to Nikolas. Nikolas smiled from ear to ear, his deep, smooth voice echoing through the ballroom as he thanked the host. But when I looked at the cr
TANIAI froze. Is Zarek coming here? Then, the voice paused, while Zarek's voice trailed off. Sigh, I worry too much. He can't be allowed to enter the VIP lounge, because he needed to have a special membership or be a premium customer, which he clearly wasn't.Just then, my assistant approached me, her eyes cast downward. âMa, I paid for his items like you instructed,â She spoke, her voice laced with innocence.Instantly, I shot her a stern look. âI told you to pay for his items not discuss with him,â I said, glaring at her.An apologetic smile appeared on her face. âI'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.â I waved my hand, dismissing her fake concern. âForget it. Let's just focus on finding the perfect dress for the Moon Gala. That's what we're here for anyway.âShe nodded and led me to the designer section, where we spent the next hour browsing through exquisite gowns.As we were about to leave the section, I noticed a dress that caught my eye - a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece that
TANIAâZarek?â I whispered and my heart skipped a beat. I took in the familiar sight of Zarek's broad back and dark brown hair, and I knew that it was him instantly. His voice, his broad back... It seemed as though they were plastered in my mind.My face grew warm when I noticed that he was fine. He didn't seem to be hurt or in pain. I felt a sense of relief wash over me, and then... I couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked, even in his simple clothes.My wolf whispered, âWe came here to get our dress for the Moon Gala, not drool over Zarek.âBut I couldn't help myself. I found myself wondering what he'd look like in finer attire. âHe is just so handsome,â I thought, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks. If the Moon Goddess had blessed him with wealth, I would have attempted to win him over. Perhaps I would have even tried to seduce him.âOh, please! Have some dignity, Tania,â my wolf said.âWhat's with the talk about dignity? That's what I did to get food on the table while I
TANIAThe following day, I woke up with a wide smile on my face. My mind was racing with thoughts about the dress I would choose and I felt relieved!Best day ever!I had breakfast with Nikolas, and just like I planned, I waited for him to begin the conversation about the Moon Gala. Meanwhile, I pretended to be unaware.âDidn't you receive any message last night?â Nikolas began.I raised my head and replied, âWhat message?âNikolas cleared his throat quietly. âWell, we were invited to the Moon Gala, and I know you will be interested in it.ââTsk, we?â I said, my tone dripping with sarcasm. âWhat about your darling Delilah? Is she too embarrassed to address other Alphas and Lunas?â Nikolas's eyes turned serious, but I didn't stop there. I flashed a mischievous smile at him, and added, âI know she's a big failure-âHe cut me off, irritation evident in his tone, âTania, can we just discuss without mocking Delilah?â âHonestly, I'm not mocking her. I'm just intrigued. I mean, why would y
TANIAZarek's voice sounded low and gentle, but it hit me like a poisonous dagger. I blinked, preventing any tears from falling.âYou are overreacting,â My wolf said, and I nodded slightly. Yes, I was exaggerating.I wanted Zarek as a temporary distraction, like I had with other werewolves to get over my ex-boyfriends. But he was different - poor and compassionate.If any seer mentioned I'd like a poor man, I'd stomp my feet.Poor meant weak in my mind. I couldn't possibly be attracted to someone who couldn't provide for me. But Zarek's presence made me question everything. For the first time, I wondered if I had been wrong to judge someone based on their wealth and status.Finally, I mustered the courage to speak. âIf you made your stay in this pack temporary because of me, you should reconsider your decision. I won't try to return to this bar, let alone see you,â I said calmly.With that, I turned and walked away, my heart heavy with disappointment.~~~~âLook at that, she returned
TANIAThe foggy, unfocused gaze was gone, replaced by a sharp, inquiring look that suggested Zarek was finally back to his normal self.âWhen did you enter the room? And where are the others?â Zarek asked as his expression remained puzzled. It was as if he had not noticed me holding him, comforting him, just moments before.âThey left, and I entered the room a few minutes ago,â I explained.Meanwhile, Zarek closed his eyes like he was trying to recall what happened. Then, he looked away and said, âYou should leave.ââLeave?â I asked, taken aback by his words.âYes, right now,â Zarek said quickly as he tried to sit up. He gently lifted his head off my lap and shifted away from me, his movements awkward due to his injuries. I reached out to help him, but he sat up quickly and let out a silent groan.I didn't want to leave him in such a bad state.âZarek, I can stay and help you until you're fine,â I said. âYou can't see a doctor since you're not supposed to be in this pack, so I'll hel
TANIAâI love you, Delilah, and I can never repay you with evil,â Nikolas's voice echoed in the room. I stiffened, my heart sinking. So, it was true. An Omega had once mentioned that Delilah had been Nikolas's rock during his reign as Alpha, covering up his excesses and infidelities. Meanwhile, I was just the other woman, invisible to Nikolas's eyes.I forced myself to move, heading to the kitchen to order the Omega to prepare a meal. I couldn't afford to eat out, and accepting another meal from Zarek felt like a burden, knowing he struggled financially. As I changed and headed to the bar, a sense of unease settled in.The bar was eerily empty when I arrived, even Zarek was nowhere to be seen, but the door was unlocked. âWhy would he forget to lock the door?â I wondered, my curiosity piqued. I pushed open the door and stepped inside. At first, I heard muffled voices, a soft murmur that seemed to come from a room in the back. The voices grew louder, and I followed the sound to a
TANIAâNikolas!â A blood-curdling scream pierced the air, and it was coming from Delilah's lips. She rushed to Nikolas's side, dropping to her knees in a fluid motion. She cupped his face, her hands trembling as she tried to assess the severity of his injury.âOh, my goddess... oh, my goddess...â she whispered, her voice shaking with fear and panic. Tears streamed down her face as a few pack doctors rushed in and attended to Nikolas.~~~~I sat awake all night, bothered by the scene. I had only kicked him in the groin. How did he end up in a pool of blood? Then, I watched how Delilah paced around, obviously waiting for the doctor's report.âGoddess, heal him,â she prayed repeatedly, getting on my nerves.She is not his mate yet she was very concerned. Even my wolf didn't pity him. She was glad that he got the taste of his own medicine.âGeez, calm down already! He is not dead anyway,â I yelled.Delilah glared at me, her face red with anger. âYou should be blamed for everything. You
TANIAâFamiliar?â I almost choked. Why is he suddenly talking about it?Zarek nodded as if trying to place me. Then, he spoke, âYeah, I've heard it before. It sounds similar to the name of someone related to an Alpha. I tried looking into it, but there are tons of women with that name. Also, the internet isn't involved with anything lycanthropic so it was a waste of time.â I heaved a sigh of relief as he spoke. Trying to persuade him and steer the conversation away from that topic, I said, âI told you, I'm just a she-wolf who is trying to make ends meet.âHe raised an eyebrow, sceptical. âIf you're struggling to get by, this isn't the right place for you. We don't exactly rake it in here.âI shrugged, and continued, âI love it here and I only work where I'm happy. Plus, Lizzy is a great bonus.âSpeaking of Lizzy, I could not hear her loud chatter. Has she left? I got up to check. Opening the door, I peeked outside. I could not see her or her cousins. Thank goddess!I was about to le
