“Zayne!” I press my palm to my chest trying to calm my heart, with the other, I brace myself against the door. “Damn it, you scared me” His eyes trail from my wet hair to where my towel is knotted on my chest, down my waist, and linger on my thighs before coming to my feet and then back up. I feel it as he looks at me, his gaze like a physical thing. “W-what are you doing here?” I question. His eyes burn the words mine against my skin. A caress against my skin. A stamp of ownership. His heated gaze sets me on fire, my cheeks flushed, the heat spreading down to my neck and chest, I feel it in my lower belly. “I heard you’ve been busy” his voice is deep. I swallowed then raise my chin, “I have no idea what you’re talking about” I say with false bravado. I’m so shocked at seeing him in my room I don’t know what I’m saying. “You and the pup,” He says slowly. My breath gets stuck in my tongue Right… I’d almost forgotten about that. And Noah saw us, not like

I want. Having his mouth there, his fingers on my hot flesh and his tongue licking me to completion have turned me into a bundle of raw need, I just want. I can’t stop wanting, I’ve been in a constant state of arousal since I had him in bed with me, it’s like being with him was the wakeup call I needed, whenever I close my eyes, I see him there, kneeling over me his gaze glued between my spread thighs and need pool betweent my legs. I can’t stop thinking of when we’ll do it again, because I know somehow, it’s not a matter of if but when. I am a mess. I’ve had to talk myself out of going for walks, wondering if I’d run into him and say what exactly? He is way out of my league I tell you, way out of my damn league. Not wanting to get tempted, I stay inside on Sunday. *** Mom is brushing my hair; the first time I heard about the silver ones I was five. My mother sat in front of a mirror in my room and while brushing my hair, told me about our foremother Amara and how she be

*** I chill a bit with my friends, not dancing and I dont touch another drink to have a clear head for tonight. When the crowd begins to thin, several people stumble into the woods, their hands already grabbing hungrily at each other. I head in Zayne’s direction when he stands up. It saves to say I’ve been looking at him, and he's eyes hardly left me so we're in the same boat. “Are we leaving now?” He nods, “Go say goodnight to your friends, you’re with me tonight” I try not to read into that as I march off to where Winnie and Mile are standing at the corner with Kent and Ian. “You guys can go on without me, I’m going to stay back for a bit,” I tell Winnie “Okay…” she drawls out “see you later then,” Winnie says with a hug. I know she’ll inform the others so I return to where Zayne is waiting for me at the entrance to the main lodge. “Come” clasping a hand around my wrist he leads me inside. I look around as he makes way for the staircase “Where are we going?” “To bed

When I wake up, it's morning, and I feel great, “Honestly, I’m fine,” I tell Zayne for the fifth time as I make to get out of bed. He is still giving me strange looks like he expected me to grow that horn on my forehead any moment now. I bat his hand away when he makes to touch my forehead “I swear I’m fine" I feel great actually, like I just woke up after a long sleep, which I did, showered, and dressed he looks like he’s been up for some time. Then again it might be a little late, I must have overslept. Why is he finding it hard to take my word for it? I know the last time I went through this ordeal I was well, how to put it? out of it? spaced out, Even when I woke up the day after. But I really am fine. “Do you remember what happened, after you touched the stone?” he questions, looking me in the eyes, the pad of his fingers on my chin. Pursing my lips, I look at the ceiling, I try to think back, “I remember the light, it was bright" my eyes fall closed, "It was really i

*** “So, this is boring,” I say about half an hour later. “Did you think it would be fun?” he sounds amused “Well, yeah” I shoot him a look “We’re just walking around aimlessly,” I complain, waving my hands to the trees around us. “We’re paying attention” he taps his ear “Making sure there’s no breach, looking for signs of trouble, paying attention.” He repeats. Yikes. I nod, I definitely have not been paying attention, I just thought were walking around, "have you noticed anything?” I question. “Nothing concerning, come on, let's go” he tips his head to the right and I fall in beside him. We walk for a bit and I try to pay attention this time, keeping my eyes and ears open but I doubt I’d notice anything strange because this is my first time being here, so even if there was something out of place, I suppose I wouldn’t know. We walk for a few more minutes and I just had to ask “Are we going somewhere?” “My office, I have a call with Red crescent and Ice moon Alpha

A middle aged female smiles sheepishly totally misunderstanding the situation at the door her hand still poised at the knob, I’ve seen her around the compound a few times. “I-it’s nothing, com-come in” I stuttered, making things worst. With his hands on my hips and me rising off the floor, it looks like I was just on my knees, under his table, probably doing something. Sweet Selene. Someone shoot me right now. “Alina, right?” I nod, no longer surprised that everyone seems to know my name these days. My gaze rested on her nose because I cannot bring myself to look her in the eyes, even though I'm not guilty of what she thought she walked into. “How have you been my dear?” “I’m fine thank you,” I say, my face still slightly hot. I go to move “I’ll leave you so you can talk” She waves me away “Oh, no dear, you can stay” turning to Zayne she continues “So I wanted to talk about Joel, he’s gotten worst, now he wants to move in with her” the female seems to be in some distress

“Focus!” A knee connects with my stomach, then a fist to my left ear. I land on the grass with an ‘oof’. A pair of booted feet comes to stand in front of me. I follow it up slim toned thighs encased in black leather pants and a black thermal, arms crossed over her chest to her slim pretty face and light amber eyes that are currently glaring at me. “What’s gotten into you today?” Naya asks. I expelled a loud breath. “Nothing” “Hu hm” she scoffed She obviously doesn’t believe me. I wouldn’t believe me too. Needless to say, I’ve been totally distracted and unfocused today. I’ve lost count of how many times she’s kicked my ass today. As of the past weeks, I’ve been able to hold my own with her. She still comes out on top but I can last a couple of minutes before eating dirt. “You’re not even trying, it’s no use beating a dead wolf. Which is what your acting like right now” Beating a dead horse, I want to correct but I doubt she’d appreciate it. So I pull myself up and brush of

I train with Naya the day after. Determine not to let the crazy in my life be a distraction to my goals. with all that was happening, I began to get sidetracked and almost lost sight of what was important, the promise that kept me breathing for months. Getting strong, finding those who destroyed my pack, and seeking justice. Today I’m more focused than ever, it’s like things just keep getting in the way, and I have the tendency to overthink things to an extent that makes me crazy. Just two nights ago I discovered we were mates. Fated, by Selena, the goddess of the moon, our creator.I didn’t doubt it, there was no cause for that, it made so much sense, even though I never let my mind wander there, at night, in my dreams I wondered if he was mine, but what did I know about mates? fated or not? I've never even been with a male.So, I tried to forget it, I told myself not to think about it but when Lily confessed it to me, it felt like a balm to my troubled soul, a salve to my wounde
