Xavier’s POV

I drove to the Silver Moon Pack as fast as I could without crashing.

My foot was on the pedal but my thoughts were running faster.

Claire had chosen her career over me and Zoe was getting drunk because she was jealous. I couldn’t stop the smile that snuck on my lips.

Had Zoe been that jealous about the return of Claire?

‘Don’t you dare hurt our mate!’ Spike growled.

“Shut up!” I was confused as is. I didn’t need him to mess me up further.

Claire and I had a lot more to discuss. Her story about being invited to work for the Alpha King was credible. Despite my concerns about her unorthodox methods, I knew of her research's importance to her.

She had been working with some of the most talented scientists because of her father’s status and money. She had been doing ground-breaking research. The council was funding her work. I didn’t know what it exactly was because it was not under my jurisdiction, but I had often heard the praises of her audacity to step into the unch

    Xavier’s POVWe had just entered our territory when Zoe started getting impatient. She pressed a few buttons here and there until I asked, “What are you trying to do?” “Music. I want music.” She smiled. She had never smiled this relaxed before. Being a werewolf, surrounded by werewolves, I had never gotten truly drunk or seen anyone get drunk. It was a human trait that our fast metabolisms never allowed us to feel. But since Zoe did not have a wolf, she didn’t have any of the perks that came with being a superorganism. I turned on the music player and let her find the soundtrack she preferred. She shuffled through a lot of stuff before landing on a song that I wouldn’t have expected from her. I recognized it as she started singing the lyrics at the top of her lungs, “He's got blue eyes, crooked smile Knows that he drives me wild Can't help myself, no, I'm not in denial I know he's no good for me But when he gets down on his knees,” She looked at me shamelessly as she traced

    Zoe’s POVEverything hurt. Why was the world so bright? Was the sun doing overtime? The bed was squishy but the sheets were crisp, unlike my soft linen ones. Where was I? My throat felt dry. I was starving. But the thought of eating made me gag. I refused to open my eyes which seemed to be sealed shut. What had happened? I had a splitting headache which made me groan. “When you know it hurts, why inflict it upon yourself willingly?” An unfamiliar female voice sounded, making me open my eyes quickly, only to shut them up just as fast due to the light. Where was I? I ransacked my brain for any information I could get about my whereabouts. I remembered seeing Xavier with Claire and crying over it. I remembered calling Maisie and her taking me to a bar to get drunk. I was so drunk. It blanked after that. “If you are done trying to remember last night, I suggest waking up properly first.” I reopened my eyes. I was in a sophisticated unfamiliar room. A well-dressed old lady had

    Xavier’s POVGramps had my full interview about Zoe and I told her everything she already knew. The fact that she was my mate was only known to me and I was going to keep it that way. For Gramps it was enough that she had a bastard for an ex who was now trapping Alyssa. And that her father was about to be put into a dungeon for a fraud he didn’t commit, which is why I was helping her. I had been honest about sleeping with her. Even if I hadn’t, Gramps would’ve found out anyway, if she didn’t already. After confirming that she would take care of Zoe, she had sent me to Claire ‘to sort things out.’ But I needed to sort them out in my head first. I parked the car in the parking lot of my building but didn’t get down. Claire was probably asleep by now. And Zoe was being taken care of by Gramps. And here I was in a pointless argument with my wolf, sitting in my parked car, a few hours from dawn. ‘You are a heartless man.’ Spike was furious that it was even a debate. ‘I have a hea

    Xavier’s POVI decided to go to the office after breakfast. Claire was so excited to gather everyone for a reunion. She immediately started calling everyone. I reached the office to find Jacob waiting for me. He had been working tirelessly to gather every information that he could about John, his associates, and how long had his web of deceit been going on. I was not going to stop until he was exposed and he had paid for his crimes. His crimes might not be against me or my pack but now, I was sure that he was using my sister and through her, using my reputation and power. That scum did not know the first thing about love. “From this file, it is clear that John had always planned to pin the fraud on Zoe’s father. That was probably the only reason he was with her.” Jacob deduced from the information that he had been gathering. “He got to know her. And through her, he reached her father without raising any suspicion.” I agreed with Jacob. “I need proof of every little step that he t

    Zoe’s POVTo say that I was shocked, would be an understatement. What was happening? I had no idea what Xavier’s Grandmother had seen but I was confused as to how she reached the conclusion. It was a pleasant conclusion, of course. But still a very shocking one. I stayed silent for the rest of the little tea party as his grandmother told stories of his childhood and I understood why he held her in such high regard. On the way back, Xavier had offered to drop me off, since he was the one who had brought me and my car was still at home. “So, are you going to tell me, what were you thinking when you dropped me at your Grandmother’s house and left?!” I asked when we had left her driveway. “After you tell me, what you were thinking when you chose to get drunk and flirt with a barkeeper at midnight.” He retorted. “I was in my pack territory. And it’s none of your business.” I tried to hold on to the little dignity I could muster. “You made it my business when you texted me and call

    Zoe's POVI was expecting bad news, but what I heard was not something I had in mind. I was shocked to hear Xavier. I should’ve expected it. With Claire back, it was the obvious course of action. I shouldn’t be sad or shocked. “Zoe.” He called me and I realized that I hadn’t said anything in a while. “Okay.” I managed to utter. “Okay?” He asked. He must’ve expected a different reaction. Maybe he was expecting me to ask or maybe even negotiate. But I was still in shock at the news to understand the future outcomes. “Okay.” I repeated. Before either of us could discuss any further, the waiter arrived to get our orders. Xavier placed his order first and since my brain was not working at all, I agreed to have whatever he was having. The waiter offered some wine and I knew I needed alcohol to pass the evening. I had already made a fool of myself in front of him yesterday, I was not going to do it again. Once we were left alone, he said, “Don’t worry. I have taken your father’s c

    Zoe's POV“So, let me get this straight. Xavier’s secretary wants to take you on a hillside vacation?” Maisie asked confused. I had called her and she had dropped everything to come over. Now we both sat on my bed and I could not understand if she was skeptical of it or happy about it. “That’s what the message says.” I shrugged. “And what do you want?” She asked softly. “Honestly?” I asked. She nodded. “I just want to crawl under a rock and disappear until everything blows over.” I sighed, feeling defeated. “You know what I think?” She asked. I urged her to answer, “What?” “You know what.” She said meaningfully. “What do you-” I was about to ask when she nodded with a smile, and I asked shocked, “Are you serious?” “I mean, first thing first, we need to know how he wants to take you. Like as a friend or is he looking for more?” Maise picked up a cushion and placed it in her lap, getting comfortable. “Jacob and I have had a very nice friendly relationship so far.” I thought to

    Zoe’s POV“I still can’t believe it is really happening.” Maisie exclaimed excitedly. “I’m glad it worked out this way.” Jacob, who was driving, smiled at me. “Who would’ve thought my plus one would be friends with Jacob’s plus one.” Micheal, Maisie’s friend from Xavier’s Pack said from where he was sitting beside Maisie in the backseat. “This weekend is going to be so much fun.” Maisie was beyond giddy with excitement. She nudged my shoulder, “Say something. You love nature.” “Yeah.” I only managed. I was thinking about Xavier and the way he had cut ties with me. That was all I seemed to think about recently. “Wow. Love the enthusiasm, Zee.” Maisie said sarcastically and rolled her eyes. “Jacob, how long till we get there?” She asked, suddenly. “About 3 more hours.” He answered, focusing on the road. “Alright, how about a freshening up break then? We have been on the road for two hours. I need to stretch a little.” She asked. “There is a gas station in about half an hour, w
