ZANDER

“I know we’ve known each for just a short time Zan,” She paused and swallowed.

Hearing her call me Zan, ignited an insatiable desire for her within me.

“But I’ll choose you a hundred times over Ronald. You’re a good man, carrying and soft even though you try to show the world that you’re cold and icy. I choose you…” She was interrupted by my kiss.

I pulled over on the road and kissed Vivian. That was insane right?

My kiss was demanding but still soft. I looked at her like a fragile lady, that was why I went easy on her.

I was thinking she would push me away and maybe slap me before giving me an earful of how I kissed her without her permission and how that was against the contract.

However, she kissed me back with the same energy I poured into our kiss. She leaned closer to me, wrapping her hands around my neck.

At that moment everything in the world seemed right. I had never felt so good even when Ava and I used to kiss back when we were mates.

This was something different, so

    ZANDERI got back from the garden and was still fuming in rage about Vivian’s cruel fate before I remembered that I was supposed to meet with Ronald at the cemetery by 10.I had to put plans in motion just in case Ronald would want to try something shady.I sent for Lucas and Derek for us to make the plans. What I loved was that the cemetery we would be meeting was in my pack.I wanted to have the upper hand at all costs. Lucas and Derek strode into my study minutes after I called them.“What’s up?” Lucas asked me.“Ronald has asked me to meet with him in the pack's cemetery,” I informed them.Derek’s brow creased and Lucas frowned. They were quick-witted, so of course they thought the same thing I did when I first heard Ronald suggest the place for our meet-up.“Why do I feel like he is luring you into a trap?” Derek asked with a stoic look on his face.“The same I thought. That is why I need you,” I pointed at Derek. “To deploy as many men to hiddenly surround the cemetery and also

    ZANDER“That is the reason why I asked you if I should undo the suppression of the mate bond I did on her. I asked you and I am also only telling you this because I want you to cherish the moment you have with her. She is going to die. Her fate has already been sealed even before death,” Selene uttered after holding me back.What she said made me angry more angry. I felt it was unfair for Vivian’s fate to be sealed even before her birth.“That is the most callous thing to do to anyone. If the moon goddess loves her creation (Werewolfs) so much, why would she let this happen to Vivian?” I snapped and scoffed.“I’m not going to let Vivian die. Never!! If it means going against the moon goddess I will. I’m going to find ways to prevent Vivian from dying,” I added and stormed off.About the going against the moon goddess part, I know it sounded impossible yeah?However, I meant everything I said. Even though it meant making a deal with the king of Hades I was willing to go that far if it

    ZANDER“Do you love Vivian?” Selene asked me, taking me off guard.I stopped in my tracks and turned to her. I never expected that she would ask me such a question.The worst thing was that I didn’t know if I loved Vivian yet. But I knew that I was attracted to her.I just met her recently even though things were not yet stable for us, I could say that I cared about her a lot.“I don’t know yet,” I simply answered Selene who smiled.“ I can understand. Let me rephrase what I said. Zan, do you care about her a lot? Like, are you attracted to her?” She asked me.“Why are you asking all these questions just to get straight to the point,” I couldn’t help but tell her.I didn’t understand why she was asking me these personal questions all of a sudden. Was this the serious conversation she wanted to have with me?“I’m asking so that I will undo her suppressed mate bond,” She told me.“Why does she not feel the mate bond anyway? I’ve been curious to know that,” I told her.“It was her body's

    ZANDER“I’m giving you one more chance to back off from Vivian. I have observed that you care about her,” Ronald said the moment I picked up the call.I never expected him to say that. I was beyond pissed to see him acting this way. He was acting as though he truly loved Vivian and cared about her.If he did, why did he trick her into signing her company to him? Why did he cheat on her? Why did he divorce her?All these thoughts made me scoff. “What if I don’t back off? What will you do?” I asked him, my voice low and dangerous.“I’m about to forward the video to the group chat of the council of elders,” He said, his voice sounding serious.I panicked for a while therefore I was silent.“Cat got your tongue?” Ronald said when he didn't hear me talk anymore.“How about we meet by 10 pm tonight? I’ll leave Vivian but I have my terms and conditions. I have things that I would want to ask you for in exchange,” I told him.There was silence for a while which made me smirk because he was tr

    VIVIAN I was surprised when I saw the unmistakable bulge pressing against his pants. Was I looking that hot to the extent Zander became hard by just looking at me? I thought to myself and couldn't help but blush.Zander followed my gaze, then cursed under his breath and turned away from me. He ran his hand through his hair as he continued to curse. I found this act of his, cute.“I didn't mean it. It—It just happened,” He stuttered, his embarrassment could be felt in his voice.He still didn't turn me to look at me as he spoke. Either he was too embarrassed or still hard.My lips parted after I smiled, stunned I opened my mouth to speak to him. “Zander…”But before I could finish saying what I wanted to say, a sudden blast of energy shook the room.It was like an earthquake. The lights flickered and the mirror I was previously staring into cracked.Was this my doing too? Were my powers acting up?No matter how I thought about it, I still felt I wasn't the cause. I felt normal and di

    VIVIAN “If I am a witch does that mean Wendy my sister too is a witch?” I asked them, my trembling due to fear for her safety.“Calm down. Right from time, it was made that only the first daughter of the family is born with witch power. Only one female can be a witch in a family even though the family has many daughters and as you know, there has never been a male wizard,” Selene explained which calmed me.I let out a breath of relief after what she said and she smiled as she rubbed my back in a bid to comfort me.“Wendy is safe from all these troubles. You have to focus on yourself,” She added.I looked at her with a mixture of surprise and confusion. How could she be so calm when the Circle was also after her?However, I didn't say anything concerning it. I didn't know if it would spoil her mood so I kept mute about it.Priestess Tanya began telling me funny and embarrassing things Alpha Zander did while growing up. We all laughed about it.I figured they were trying to make me les

    ZANDERAfter I spotted the girl who went to hide, I asked Derek to stop immediately and got out of the car.I rushed to the place I hid but there was no one there. I couldn't even perceive anyone’s scent around the place.It was like the girl vanished into thin air. Unless… my eyes widened when the realization dawned on me.Derek and Lucas got out of the car and came to meet me asking me what the matter was but I shushed them.I signaled for them to go back to the car and they did without any argument or protest. Seems like they knew something wasn't right due to my countenance.We all went back to the car. Derek turned to look at me because I was sitting in the back seat.“Just drive Derek,” I told him with a serious look on my face. He nodded before focusing back on the road and driving off.“Guys. I think the Circle has a witch in its organization,” I told them.“What?” They exclaimed.“How would they have a witch in their organization when they are witch hunters and so against wit

    ZANDER“Tell them to remain steadfast and always be within each other's reach. Whatever hard time they will pass through will only be for a short while. However, someone very close and dear to their heart shall pass away. Those were exactly the words of the Moon goddess,” Selene told Vivian and me.What I was more concerned about was who was going to die. Was it Lucas or Derek? Or Selene? Or Priestess Tanya?I couldn't help but be worried because I couldn't bear to see someone close to me die.I looked at Vivian and she looked like she was having the same conflict and worried as me.“Can you ask her to give us the name of the person who is going to die?” Vivian asked Selene.“You’re a pure-blood witch Viv. You can summon the moon goddess and talk to her directly whereas I can't do that unless she speaks to me herself. You are capable of doing things that an ordinary witch can't do,” Selene explained to Vivian.“Why?” Vivian’s face scrunched in confusion.“Because your bloodline was bo

    VIVIAN I was stunned by what Alpha Zander said to me before he stormed out of the room.Yes, maybe he wasn't the type of person who believed in love but I was sure that he felt something for me.I could feel it in the way he kissed me. He wanted me so why was he being harsh to me?But I couldn't bring myself to get annoyed with him. Deep down, I knew I was being ungrateful and inconsiderate.After he told me he knew what I did, I shouldn’t have acted that way because the fact he didn't push me away signified that he was willing to stand by me.They all were. I couldn’t help but think about what I did to serve such kindness from them.After Alpha Zander stormed out which Lucas and Derek chased after him of course, I heard Selene sigh behind me.“Don’t take what he said to heart. Zander can be complicated at times,” Priestess Tanya tried to console me with a forced smile.They looked embarrassed.“I’ll help you get your wolf back but I take back the condition I gave you.
