The Wolfgang were still out there making sure to search properly every neighboring city situated around almight town. The search was real and intense and I knew this because I had gone along with them to thoroughly search areas that we suspected. However, we had gotten a hold of the family of the so called partner of Zara and there was no way I was going to let him go if he did not provide answers.One thing was so annoying, they would not provide their identify, like let us through on it and my only guess was that probably they were some member of the lowest pack of another city. So, we put that aside and had decided to torture them till they gave the answers we want.None was forthcoming no matter how many times the Wolfgang dealt with them, they claimed they had no answers to our questions and that they did not even know that their brother had disappeared out of almight town. It was frustrating that nothing was going well. Zara however must be having the~Zara~There we were, drawing, painting, laughing. It was so fun. Especially doing it alongside Judas . Judas was good at whatever she drew and I, I was so much better at painting. At some point we got tired and decided to take a rest, there was an old man passing by, we waved cheerfully at him, “hello Mr, Jones.”“Hello Zara, hello Judas , how are you two today?”“Fine thank you. Do have a lovely day today.” We chorused in reply. Smiling at him while we watched him walk away.“So tell me, Zara, what brings you to Greenwood city?”I shrug, we were seating under an umbrella, on reclining chairs that were comfortable, staring at the clouds and basically sipping cocktail drinks. This was the life. Of course I had not forgotten to look for a job but for now, I needed to rest, to relax Abit and integrate myself into the society.And to think I had just made my first friend, not that I knew much about her but she was better at reading my thoughts and somehow I could tell that she was either
~Pedro~“ I say we call the rogues.” Lia suggests and I cringe. The rogues? No way. Those set of wolves were another breed entirely. They stink and most times get distracted with their mission.They really are not trust worthy at all and it is like going on a big risk. This mission is worth the risk. But still there is no way I am calling the rogues.Lia gives me a bored look, I can tell she is getting pissed off by my reluctance. But I do not give in. Never. And she is going to have to deal with it.“ Okay Pedro, what do you expect? I mean if you are hell bent serious on carrying out this plan of yours, you will cooperate with me and for once just put aside all these pride. “It is not pride. The rogues are just these set of dirty wolves that carry out dirty works and I do not want to risk being associated with them. Okay maybe this is pride but it does not matter right now.I value my pride and Lia of all person’s should know that by now. Is that not even the main reason why we are
Judas ’s house was filled with so much excitement and warmth. Everyone at the table was chatting and laughing loudly, even George seemed to integrate himself with the people around. He was talking excitedly with some colleagues from his work place and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I was sitting alongside some of Judas ’s friends who talked about various subjects they wished to discuss among themselves. From their personalities to what they thought about worlds and city outside Greenwood , to family and work and just social gatherings that brought happy cheers and laughter to our faces.I did not have much to talk about but it was easy flowing into the conversation especially when Judas ’s friends were easy to let you in on what they talked about. And it was exhilarating to laugh freely among strangers who were no longer strangers but gradually making an impact in your life.“ So tell us Zara, what did you enjoy more doing as a child?” One of the ladies at the table asked. I t
I was agitated and so was my wolf. Despite Zara not wanting me, the mate bond still made me feel horrible.I guess, I sort of deserve it though seeing the horror Zara must have passed through while she was a kid knowing her parents died right in front of her and were never avenged. I imagined she must be having the time of her life with the lowlife guy she ran away with. At this point, I was disappointed with myself. This wasn’t the alpha he’s imagined and prided himself to be. Someone who couldn’t exactly control the affairs of his own pack.Maybe I really should not have listened to Lia and involve the rogues because they weren’t exactly top on my option list. If anything, they were the last. I have had a traumatic experience with the rogues as a kid. I was what at the time? Ten? I was playing in the yard with one of the royals’ kid who was only about my age too at the time when they came and took me and the kid. I couldn’t exactly tell if they did it for the thrill or they were ju
~Zara~I screamed at the sudden ticklish onslaught. George was grinning at my torture but it was my favorite form of torture. He leaned down and placed his lips on mine.“Girl, I love you.” My insides melted. Sweet words and sentences like this from George makes me fall all over again.“Is this your way of telling me that you will be going to the city council soon and you will be leaving me all by myself?” I teased. Well, not entirely teasing. I was always kinda sad to see him leave in the morning. I want to be with him all the time.“I am sorry baby.” He looked genuinely sorry. His pretty eyes twinkling with a quiet apology. “But I got you something.” My mouth formed a perfect O. He reached into a chest of drawers beside our bed and brought out a bunch of supplies.“You know, for your painting.” I screeched from excitement and straddled him. He grinned at me, seemingly happy. I planted a huge sloppy kiss on his lips.“Thank you, I love you.” He nodded and pushed my hair back.“Right b
~Pedro~Lia groaned. Good, she is awake and she is all healed up now. Sunlight strewn into the room through some open window. I called the pack doctor.“Joe, close that shit.” I wasn’t supposed to cuss. I mean, I am supposed to be in control at all time especially in front of my pack members. I motioned to the window. He gave a bow and quickly went about doing my bidding.“The light is fine.” Lia mumbled weakly but the window was already close.“How are you doing?” My brows furrowed. I really should have Akita punished. So maybe I haven’t announced that Lia is the future Luna nor do I think I will be doing that anytime soon but it was no secret in the pack that Lia and I were screwing. Pardon my crude language.“Why are you sitting at my bedside?” Lia asked suspiciously. I resisted the urge to say that we are a couple. We are not normal at all. We might be powerful together but we are dysfunctional. “Don’t you have some alpha stuff to do?” She blinked. If I didn’t know any better, I w
~Zara~The charity was going well by all standard. I didn’t really see much of George that much though but I was having ton of fun with John and his smart mouth. We were walking around the venue exploring the expanse and beauty before we finally decided to find a seat when they were about to start donating money.“Your husband is the dashing one in the suit, huh?” I nodded. John smirked bringing his seat closer to me conspiratorially. “I can tell. You can’t take your eyes off him. You haven’t—not since we got here.” Well, John is right. He looks mouth wateringly good in the suit. I looked down at my own black little number. It worked well with my olive skin.“Well, I struck out you know. I can’t just believe that all that is mine.” John ’s eyes softened.“He struck out too.” The boy is awfully kind and sweet for a teenager. It was wonderful. “Y’all are like the it couple. My one true pairing.” He grinned at me and that was when Judas got on stage. We all erupted in cheers and app
~Pedro~Lia was acting like a peevish pregnant woman and I get it. She is all stressed out because of the coronation ceremony and the rituals but the pack members already offered to help and she rejected their help. She was paranoid about them ruining her special day. In her own words, it’s her childhood dream and she won’t let low lives and ordinary mutts spoil them like she wasn’t a mutt herself but I am letting her be. Right now, she is screaming at Alice and poor Alice looks like she is about to break down crying. Poor woman, she deserves better than this.“You should take it easy, you know. And let other people help.” Apart from your annoying and bitchy little sister. I added in my head. Alina is a freaking nutcase.“Alina is helping.” I snorted. Or she is just prancing around my building and causing troubles. Just yesterday, she was dry humping a prison guard. Every thing about Alina infuriates me, from the blue streaks in her shiny black hair that she kept short because she is
