"I - I really don't know who you are. The reason I pretended to be asleep was because I was scared since I'm just seeing you for the first time." Bellona lied smoothly but it wasn't entirely a lie. She was a little bit scared.Zephyr could only stare at her in awe. She looked so innocent and so harmless and if one didn't witness her attempts to kill him, she could easily fool them but not him. It was impossible to fool him.He wanted to play along with her to see how long she'd keep up with her act but on a second thought, he decided against it."Your heart is beating so loudly, Bellona. I can tell you're lying." He said calmly, waiting for her reaction and she didn't disappoint, she kept on lying."I - I'm not Bellona. I'm..." She paused and then gasped dramatically before covering her mouth with her hands. "...I can't remember my name""Quit it, Bellona." Zephyr growled angrily."Alright. Alright. You don't have to keep barking like a dog" Bellona finally dropped her act and went ba
After his banter with Bellona, Zephyr walked back to his office angrily and kept on pacing back and forth.What would he do with Bellona? She was hell bent on frustrating him and she was doing a great job at it. How was he going to survive with her and her stubbornness.Zephyr didn't know what to do. He had never been this confused in his entire life. He needed to learn how to keep his emotions in check whenever he was around her as she knew his weakness and he was sure she'd use it against him. He decided that he'd try to be immune to her so that her attempts to frustrate him will be futile. Zephyr heard a knock on the door and quickly put himself together. He didn't want anyone to see him in that state. "Come in" He said in a low voice. He didn't need to be loud for the person on the other side of the door to hear him as werewolves had incredible hearing.The door opened and Jake walked in. He then moved to where Zephyr stood."Lucian is fine, he has calmed down but I doubt it'l
"Do you think it'll work?" Zephyr asked, still not convinced. The time he had spent with Bellona made him realize that she was not an average. She could twist situations to a way that pleased her."There's no harm in trying" Jake motivated him"Okay, let's go" Zephyr said, finally ready to face Bellona."I'm not going with you" Jake replied amusedly. Zephyr was behaving like a child and it was funny. Zephyr sharply glared at him and he laughed. "Okay, okay, let's go."They both went to the pack's hospital where they met Chris checking up on Bellona."Do you feel pain on any part of your body?" Chris asked.Bellona looked up and her eyes met Zephyr's, then she said. "Yes, my entire body aches. It must be due to all the beating I received" she was fine but she lied to see Zephyr's reaction.Zephyr's face momentarily darkened but he came back to his senses when Jake told him through the mind link to get himself together. Jake understood Zephyr's reaction because he also had a mate and h
Bellona's anger grew. He didn't even feel remorseful, even if he did, she still wouldn't forgive him but she was annoyed that he kept acting arrogantly despite what he did to her.She tightened her fingers around the scalpel that she hid in her hands. She had collected it from Chris when he wasn't looking.She had had enough of him and was tired of seeing him acting all cool when he was the reason she was an orphan. She bit on her lips, refusing to cry. She was never going to cry in front of him. She was never going to let him see her as weak."Unless you're scared of my punishment. You coward!" He said mockingly. This was his last resolve and he prayed it worked. It did because the next moment, Bellona's face darkened and her body shook in rage. "You murderer, you killed my parents!" She roared and launched at him with the scalpel in her hands. Though she knew that a mere scalpel won't be able to kill him but she still wanted to inflict an injury on him.Zephyr's world stopped when
Alpha Noah sat in his office, working on his laptop then he heard his phone make a sound, signalling that a message just entered. He looked at it and wanted to ignore it but on a second thought, he picked it up and glanced at it. As soon as he read the content of the message, his eyes lit up in happiness. Using the mind link, he called on his beta, Arthur. After about two minutes, a middle aged man walked in. He was very tall and had a full beard around his lips which were curved into a deep frown. His expression was stoic and he looked very strict overall."Greetings Alpha Noah'' Arthur greeted. "What will you have me do?" His voice was deep and his face held no emotion whatsoever. He always went straight to the point because he was a busy man and didn't have time for playing around."A news came to me that the blood moon pack will be having a mate ball in two days time, how true is that?" Alpha Noah asked his beta. He knew that the man was always up to date and must have somethin
Lance woke up from his sleep and then went straight to shower. He needed to clear his mind but whilst still showering, his mind went to her, his thoughts drifted to Bellona. She had been the one occupying his mind since days. He thought of her while eating, while driving and some times, he saw her in his dreams.He actually wanted to just have fun with her but now she was controlling his mind. He had been waiting for her call since he gave her his business card but he didn't receive any. He didn't have her contact else he would have called her.He had never felt this way in his entire life. All the ladies he had flings with in the past were the ones who chased him. He had never done the chasing but with Bellona, it was different. She didn't seem interested in him and all his attempts to woe her didn't impress her but instead of him to feel discouraged, he kept thinking of her. He was hooked! Though he knew she wasn't his mate, he didn't mind taking things to another level because he
The day for the mate ball finally arrived. The blood moon pack was decorated with the finest of decorations one could lay their hands on. Guests had began to arrive and were directed to their various rooms. Everything looked beautiful and everyone was excited except one person.Zephyr sat in his office doing nothing. He felt conflicted. His handsome face looked disturbed and his hair was ruffled, showing how much he had ran his fingers through it in frustration. He didn't even go out to welcome the guest, he let Lucian and Jake handle it.The elders had previously come to tell him how great of an Alpha he was for allowing the mate ball. They were happy that he'd soon sire an heir with someone who was not his mate. He didn't know how to feel about that but his wolf was certainly not happy.Fenir had begged her him to call off the mate ball but he refused. This was the only way to get over Bellona. If he had a Luna by his side, he wouldn't think about her. His decision made Fenir angri
As Zephyr heard her words, he frowned. Was he that bad? Did she hate him that much?"I'm sorry" He apologized even when he knew that a simple apology couldn't bring back her parents but he still did. He couldn't remember killing her parents but the deed had already been done. He just wanted to make things right with her. She was the first person that he had ever apologized to and he didn't mind. He didn't mind it as long as she'd forgive him.Bellona looked up at him in shock. She didn't expect him to apologise out of nowhere. It left her speechless."I'm sorry for everything I've done. If you could give me the chance, I'll make things right." Zephyr said sincerely. He didn't know what came over him but what he knew was that he had tucked in his emotions for song long and now, it was overflowing. He couldn't control himself."I- I" Bellona stuttered, her mouth unable to form coherent words. His sudden apology sounded so sincere that it threatened to break the walls she had taken years
