LOGINChapter 36: ZarekAnother failure at self control.I huff out a breath, pacing around the room with my hands digging into the pockets of my blue faded jeans. Thoughts of her face wrenched in pain floods my mind and I groan, suddenly feeling like a complete asshole for hurting her.Why did I do that? For some reason, I’m unable to contain myself around her and it’s concerning. I’ve never been this drawn to a woman, not even Nyra. But this strange woman whom I have no idea who she is or where she’s from is slowly getting into the cracks of my life without trying and she doesn’t even know it yet.I plop down on the couch, relaxing into the soft material and closing my eyes with an exasperated sigh, my fingers wandering around the scar on the left side of my lower abdomen.It’s smooth to the touch and cold. Colder than the rest of my body. Adjusting my position on the chair, I glance down at it and cock a brow in surprise, wondering why it suddenly feels different.Until now, the scar had
Chapter 35 Vaelora’s POV My breath hitches for a second before a scream rips out of my throat in agony. He pulls his fangs away and licks his lip, staring at me with hooded eyes as I slap my hand over the affected area with tears stinging my eyes. My heart is hammering loudly against my chest as we stare at each other, hurt sizzling through the entirety of the right half of my body. My knees buckle and I fall to the ground, the tears slipping out of my eyes uncontrollably. He rushes down to me and crouches down on his toes, a faint smile playing on his lips. The teardrops splatter against the floor, seeping through the thin material of my robe and dampening it. We stay like that for a while with my head hanging low. When I finally raise up my head to meet his eyes, I see the confusion and what I assume to be regret swirling deep in his hazel orbs. But it doesn’t compare to the pain and anger simmering inside me. The door flies open to reveal Ulric and the doctor who had treate
Chapter 34Vaelora’s POVIf there’s a definition for chaos wrapped six foot five feet of frustration, it’s Zarek.He pulls me in by the waist, holding on tight as his fingers digging into the flimsy material of my robe and scrapping through the soft skin of the small of my back.My eyes widen as his other hand digs into his side, stealing my attention. I glance down at it to see the faint glow trying to escape through his shirt and fear rips through me.He curses under his breath, drawing my attention back to his face and that’s when I see the agony mirroring his expression.Ulric walks to us in one long stride, his face alarmed as he pulls me away from Zarek and hurls him up by the arms, fear and confusion swirling in his eyes.“Alpha?” He calls out to Zarek but he only holds out a hand as he falls to his kneels, bringing Ulric down with him. Although I can see the fear in Ulric’s eyes, he doesn’t seem to be as alarmed as I am. Instead, he pushes Zarek to his feet and circle his ar
Chapter 33Zarek’s POVThe scar on my V-line twists in pain and I let her go, clenching my jaw tightly as she scramble out of my touch, rushing towards the door to meet her maid servant.I cover it with my palm, hissing inaudibly as the pain suddenly disappears, leaving me in wonder.What the hell just happened?Falling back into the couch, I graze my hand lightly across the scar to feel it and like always, it’s barely present. It’s the second time that it’ll flare up this way.Both times I’d been holding her.My gaze falls on her as she scratches the back of her head, speaking slowly to Aria while taking the tray from her.I don’t know any of the maids name in the house aside from hers and the only way that happened is because I’d asked Ulric about it.She glances over her shoulder with a glare before looking back at the girl talking, nodding at her as though she’s the one being given orders. I watch as they both exchange words like I and my friends would normally do, not in the way
Chapter 32Vaelora’s POVWe hold each other’s gazes for what feels like years before she takes a step towards, her eyes never leaving mine.My feet is rooted in place, watching as she brushes past me to the piano and shuts it close with a bang, startling me.I turn to look at her with confusion etched on my face but I don’t get the chance to process my emotions when the door creaks open and I hear boots matching in.Three of the pack house guards barge in, their faces concealed by a mask. The biggest one from amongst them eyes me before settling his gaze on Nyra who has a smirk on her face.“Caught this strange woman playing the piano. Haven’t I ordered that no one be allowed in here?” Three of them turn to look at me and my breath catches in my throat, words failing me. I open my mouth to speak and close it back, mentally smacking myself for being handicapped in a situation I should be able to defend myself.“Cat caught your tongue?” She mocks.“No.” I retort, looking up to the gua
Chapter 31Zarek’s POVI’m losing my shit and it’s all because of her.Landa’s voice fades into the distance for the third time this evening and I almost smack myself in the face for thinking about it again.“Is everything okay, Alpha? You seem really disturbed.” He questions, his brows slightly creasing with worry.“I’m fine. Go on.” As the minister of war, he’s been going on about a new plan for recruiting more warriors as we lost a majority of them from the fight with some rogue pack members few months ago.Although I half listened to most of the things he said, I can’t seem to understand a single word. He raises a quizzical brow and I give him the reassuring nod. He continues to rambles on, talking about how many numbers we’d need and how we’re going to have to accommodate their own needs.Landa is a sneaky man, Nyra’s father and the current beta of the pack. The only reason I let him get away with the some of the things he does is because of his daughter. Other than that, I de
