ALPHA KING AYDENMy heart raced.The sight of the woman I have been destined to spend the rest of my life with... The sight of her magnificent nakedness... It made my heart race.Obviously, a brief flashback was needed. How did I get to this point?Well, Zadie came home from her diner looking exhausted but she still insisted on cooking for me. I tried to convince her to forget about it but her stubborn self wouldn't listen so I allowed her. I sat in the living room, occasionally looking in the direction of the kitchen to check if I would steal a glance at her.Twenty minutes later, she came out carrying a tray which contained the food. She placed it before me on a stool and sat next to me. She looked excited, maybe because this would be the first time I'm tasting her food.I stared at the food, it didn't look familiar at all. She did mention that it was a local dish. I'm not used to these, being an Alpha King and all that."What's wrong? You don't like it?" She asked, narrowing her e
ZADIE WILSONThere was that flame again…The same flame I had seen in his hazel eyes last night after he collapsed on my wet body. It was right there again and his eyes turned into a darker shade of hazel- if that was even possible. My breath hitched and I could feel myself turning into a bubble of jelly as Ayden moved his face closer to mine.I will be a fool to not know what was about to happen. Rather than fight him, I closed my eyes and waited to see if he would go through with this. Despite my inability to perceive strongly like other werewolves, the intoxicating scent of desire took over my nostrils and I became weak to my toes…I breathed, “Ayden…”Much to my surprise his name sounded sweeter to my ears and the way it rolled off my tongue made me release a low moan.He groaned in response, wrapping his firm hands around my waist. Again, my breath hitched. Why not?Aside from the embarrassment I felt all through the night, I also couldn't get Ayden out of my mind. The way he
ALPHA KING AYDEN"When will you stop?" I barked at Jaxon, whose annoying eyes had been on me ever since we left my second home this morning.My Beta had taken it upon himself to annoy me throughout the day, even though we were both dealing with serious issues.Jaxon retorted, "Stop what? Has it become a crime to stare at my Alpha? I am simply admiring you, Alpha King."I hissed, "Stop this nonsense, Jaxon. I don't want to have you beheaded."I threatened my Beta, but he merely chuckled as he drove us back to the main pack land. We had been inspecting the borders of the territory since rogue attacks had skyrocketed recently."It's been a long day, Alpha King," Jaxon voiced after a few minutes of silence, and I agreed with him.Until he added, "It's good that you have a woman to go home to. You must be excited, and tonight is the perfect night to continue what you introduced early this morning-""Park the car!"I lashed out with a voice that clearly announced my anger and seriousness.H
ALPHA KING AYDENI grabbed the entrance door with the intention of opening the damn thing.How did I miss the fact that she wasn't in the house?Karl grunted, “You are stupid. That's why. How can you not differentiate between her presence and her scent? She has her scent almost everywhere in the house for goodness sake!”My wolf beast was furious. And I was also mad at myself.Imagine how many hours I have wasted within the safe walls of our home while Zadie was out there alone… or scared. I stared at the chaotic weather as I beat myself for being unattentive. Although I wasn't scared, it would be stupid to leave the safe walls of the house. The wind was strong and anything could happen to me while I search for Zadie.“Are you kidding me!”Karl barked within me. My last statement must have sounded illogical to my wolf beast but I was the Alpha King and I needed to think twice before jumping into a storm even though my mate's life was in danger. Even though I was scared that I might
ZADIE WILSONMy eyes widened. I couldn't help it.The way he came at me when I entered the house was alarming because I have assumed he didn't care.And now? Now he said, “I want you to bother me. Always.” How could my body not stiffen in his warm arms? If I was still shivering despite the warmth radiating off Ayden’s body as he held me, then it was safe to assume that the shivers existed because of the proximity not because I walked through a storm like an idiot.The day started with a fire in the pit of my stomach while Ayden and I lost control over our bodies in the dining area. It escalated into a major fire outbreak in my diner when I absentmindedly cooked.And the heavens thought I had not had enough. They decided to end the day with a storm. Crazy.“Ayden–” I began.He didn't let me talk though. He cut in emotionally, confusing me. “You can't go AWOL, Zadie. Promise me that you will always be home for me.”He added as he tightened his arms around me, “Promise me, Zadie.”“Y
ALPHA KING AYDENThere was no way I had a peaceful night.Aside from the furious storm that raged through the night, I experienced another form of the storm all through the hours of the night. That storm was within me and I had to battle with it so it wouldn't break me.Zadie…She had caused a mixture of emotions within me without trying.After she left me hanging last night, I retired to my room due to the weakness I felt in my stomach. This room was nothing compared to the one I have back at my Royal Mansion but it was closer to Zadie’s room.It was closer to the woman that nearly broke me last night.
ZADIE WILSONMy lips quivered when I tried to tell him that he shouldn’t pull the duvet off me. I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. “Oh my goodness, Zadie!”Ayden breathed after he pulled the duvet off my body. I couldn't meet his eyes and I curled up even more, struggling to tell him to drop the duvet over my body. The night has been nothing but a nightmare. I couldn't stop my body from shivering and neither could I stop my body from heating up when it started in the middle of the storm that seemed to have calmed some hours ago… I couldn't be precise. “Why are you on the cold floor when you are shivering?”Ayden questioned but I couldn't respond. My tongue was also frozen yet hot as fuck. This was what I got for walking under the rain despite its windy accomplice.Ayden soon got the answer to his question when he tried to lift me off the ground. “Ouch! Why are you so hot, Zadie!”He exclaimed. The reason why I rolf the bed and into this corner was because the bed was too hi
ALPHA KING AYDENI saw the burns on her body but I didn't point it out. Not because I wasn’t worried, but because her temperature was more concerning. The burnt spot in her body was healing and didn't pose a threat to her health.Karl disagreed, “Still, you should point it out and try to heal her so she wouldn't have terrifying scars.”“Not now, Karl.” I chimed, repositioning Zadie in my arms as I descended the stairs. “If we are going to agree about anything, this should be it, Karl.”Before my wolf beast could argue with me, Zadie murmured, “I am sorry for being a burden. You must have so much to do with the Alpha King after the stormy night.”“You are more important.”I said without hesitation. Zadie’s red face turned a shade darker and I smiled as she looked away from me. Thankfully, she was no longer shivering, however, her hotness kept burning my skin. She was physically hot and I experienced what it was like to burn for her yesterday morning but this particular hotness wasn't
