Xavier's POVOkay, Zoe was mad. She was so mad she hadn't just confronted Fiona, she had worn my shirt for it, and hadn't even glanced my way before walking out of the room.The only part that made my heart flutter was my shirt. She was marking her territory, and it was so attractive. She had accept
Zoe's POVMy eyes were puffy and aching every time I blinked. I had been crying since the moment I stepped into the bedroom. It was more than just everything that was currently going on in the Shaw mansion. I had barely made myself at home there, and now there was someone else already promised to m
Zoe's POVI heard a knock on the door, and I groaned. I understood that Olivia wanted to do her job properly, but it was high time that I was left alone. I was tired of her hovering outside my door, asking if I would like to eat something every hour on the clock since last night. No, Olivia. I'd li
Xavier's POVI walked out of the room before I could be stopped. I made a beeline to my bedroom, where Jacob, as told by Olivia, had informed me that Zoe had locked herself in since last night. Apart from whatever she was doing in Fiona's room at noon.I had ignored her long enough, and now that we
Zoe's POVI didn't know how Lady Shaw roped me into this, and what's even amazing is how she managed to smuggle me out of the mansion without a single one of the press members knowing that the Alpha's fated mate and grandmother were in the car getting away as evening enveloped the pack.I bet everyo
Xavier's POVI had been pacing in my office when Olivia sent a text, and I quickly went to my window to see a black car rolling in the driveway.~We are back, Alpha.At least, they hadn't taken away her phone to stop her from updating me. I was going to have a word with Gramps about taking my mate a
Xavier's POV"I may be the Alpha, but if I don't respect the traditions and laws, I'll lose the respect of my people. And in times like these, I have to unite the people. I don't have the luxury of doing as I want. I have to do what needs to be done, even if I don't like it." I had been trying to co
Zoe's POVI sighed and sat down on the bench beside her. I went there for a reason, I was going to see it through."You say that when you know that not only we weren't aware of the Blood Contract, we were a little busy not knowing you even existed. Excuse us for wanting to accept our fated mates and
Zoe's POVI was braiding the hair on the edge of my shaved scalp when Olivia rang the intercom. Xavier walked out of the wardrobe with a spring in his step and let Olivia in, who rolled in a trolley of steaming breakfast.It was Xavier's idea to have breakfast in the bedroom. He said he wanted to sp
Zoe's POVWhen I woke up next, my head felt like I had been hit by a truck. Xavier's arm rested on my belly as he lay deeply asleep beside me. It was strange to wake up to him after spending weeks of him coming and going while I slept. I took the time to cherish his touch and light breath. He looke
Zoe's POVMy head was pounding. It was like someone had cracked open my skull and was performing brain surgery without anesthesia. It was torture. I wanted to yell,' Stop it,' and I think I said something, but different words were coming out.I tried to yell. I knew Xavier was holding me, but every
Xavier's POVMy head was fuzzy. I was trying so hard to focus on the conversations around me. It was like I had been underwater and just resurfaced. The light, the sounds, the colors, everything felt weird. I blinked as I tried to focus on the fork in my hand. I whispered to Zoe, "Please get ready
Zoe's POVThat night, I stayed up and waited for Xavier. He took his time coming to the bedroom. He must've thought that I was asleep, and that's exactly what I pretended. But, I had a theory and I was about to test it out.I stayed still, kept my heartbeat calm, and eyes closed. Until Xavier went t
Zoe's POVWhen Xavier and I walked in hand in hand, every jaw in the dining hall dropped, but no one was as shocked as Blondie, who entered after us. She must've been waiting for him when he was walking me to the dining hall. She swallowed her shock and forced herself to sit on the opposite end of t
Zoe's POVFinding friendship with Alyssa was one of the strangest things that happened to me that week. Since then, I saw less and less of Xavier. He came to the room when I was already asleep and often left before I had woken up. We missed that one meal we used to share before the coronation.He sp
Zoe's POVThe conversation with Xavier was the hardest I've ever had with anyone. He was acting like I was just another wolf in his pack that he was responsible for. The only emotion I got from him was regarding the baby but even that was fleeting. I was so bewildered that I ended up asking, "Are y
