"No! It can't be!" I let out an internal hiss. "He would not dare come here!" "What the f*ck, Zara!" Levi bumped into me and growled behind me. "Sorry," I mumbled, wide-eyed. "What's going on with-" Levi's voice faltered when my father turned away from us and approached his table, confirming my worst fears: Noah f*cking Flinch! "Is that?" Levi mind-linked, and I nodded my head. "What brings him here?" He mind-linked. "Zara, I understand that you are familiar with Alpha Noah," my father said. I slowly nodded my head. "Great, Noah has also informed me that you are his fated mate." I slowly nodded, unable to utter a word. "He has requested your hand," my father continued. "Is that so?" I said. "Were you told by Noah that he rejected me more than a year ago?" "He did what?" Levi roared behind me. "There is more," I said. "He rejected me in favor of a mate he chose." **** Zara Silverwood is a silver wolf descended from one of the most powerful packs on the continent. A year after he rejects her, her fated mate comes knocking on her door to tell her he is back to claim her. After Zara turns down his proposal, he goes behind her back and asks her father for her hand. The old Alpha agrees to the arrangement. Zara is unhappy and decides to handle things on her own. She informs her father that she has taken a chosen mate, her Beta, and her best friend, Levi—only he has a little secret. What will happen when Zara's second chance mate attends her and Levi's mating ceremony? Will he stop the proceedings and claim her as his mate? Or is Zara's destiny already set? Will Zara find the happiness she so deserves?
View MoreZara's POVAs the goddess let forth a wrenching cry, a surge of agony coursed through my entire being.I let out a gasp as the agony spread throughout my body.As the goddess grieved for her mate, I could sense every feeling she was experiencing, listen to her inner monologue, and see him through her eyes.
Nicolas POV"Make yourself comfortable," Beta John motioned for us to take seats inside. "Celia will show you what happened. It will be as if you are dreaming.""You will be able to ask questions while you watch," Celia added. "We will gladly answer all your questions.""Why?" Zara inquired, hesitant to proceed further. She appeared to be concerned, perhaps even scared. I noticed that her heart was pounding intensely in her chest."You need to know the truth," Beta John responded. This is the least I can do.""I can't find anything suspicious about him," Ray told me. "He is telling the truth.""Are you sure?" I asked."I am," he answered. "His wolf is peaceful inside him, as if he loves Zara like a father. He means no harm to her."I could always trust Ray's instincts, and this time would be no exception."I think it would be okay," I told Zara, grasping her hand in mine. "I trust Beta John. Ray does as well. Let us hear what he has to say."Zara looked into my eyes for a split second
Zara's POV"Isn't it magnificent?" Beta John's low voice surprised me, causing me to gasp in fear. I turned around to see him standing a short distance behind us."Only a true royal can light up a temple like that!" Drawing nearer, he went on."I do not understand," I murmured, cocking my head to the side and staring at him in confusion as he halted.Is he completely insane?I am not a member of the royal family.Beta John's behavior was increasingly deviating from my expectations, which alarmed me. I didn't know what to do while I was in his presence.My heart skipped a beat and then raced in my chest as Beta John smiled at me tenderly but honestly.His smile was completely new to me. Despite his affection, I saw anguish in his eyes. It was unique, and it frightened the crap out of me, too.Why was he acting this way?Instead of responding, Beta John brushed his fingers on the wall, causing the symbols beneath them to illuminate and come to life.Unbelievable, I let out a gasp and st
Zara's POV"Heat? I am in heat...?"I could not believe what Nic was saying. I was shocked by what I heard.Why would I go into heat now? Have I done something wrong?I knew I would eventually go into heat, but what caused it? I was fairly certain that we only went into heat when we were marked... or...Slowly, my eyes shifted to Kaya. She appeared rather guilty."Is this your doing?" I asked.She shook her head hastily."So why do you look so guilty?" I asked."It was bound to happen," Kaya said, as if it were nothing. "You two have been taunting the bond for a while now. The fact that it did not occur sooner shocked me.""Really, Kaya?" I lost my temper. "You were aware that this would occur, yet you remained silent about it! Why didn't you just tell me? Now look at us!""I only figured it out this morning," she whispered in defense."You what!? You knew! And you failed to warn me!" I snarled. "If someone had scented my heat, what would you have done?""Well, no one did," she said w
Nicolas POV The moment I saw Zara, the anxiety from just a few minutes before vanished."Mate!" The single word escaped my lips, and it felt great to do so.Zara stared at me in confusion, not knowing how to respond.Was she scared of Ray being in control?There was nothing else for me to do. Her scent was so powerful that it led me right to her.Slowly, Zara rose from the bed and approached. She did not know what to do."Ray," she uttered in a tremulous voice. "Return control to Alpha Nicolas, please.""Are you sure?" he asked. "Neither of us thinks that is a good idea."She recoiled in surprise."Why?" Her voice cracked as she asked."Because he would not have self-control around you," Ray answered.Zara's brows furrowed in perplexity. Has she not figured it out yet?"How come?" She looked into Ray's eyes and asked.I sighed.When our mates went into heat, it was usually our wolves who went crazy. Only the Goddess knows why, but it felt like Ray and my rolls were switched around wh
Zara's POVMy entire body was burning, and it had spread like wildfire. I was in so much pain that I was having trouble breathing and moving.My frantic screams had long since subsided, and I was now barely conscious."Oh, Goddess, Zara!" A familiar voice chimed in my ears. "What have you done to yourself?!"I could hear the worry in his voice, but I could not tell who it was. My eyes were full of tears, making it difficult to see him.Perhaps it was my dad? Did he find me?"Before the goddess punishes me for neglecting you, we had better get you inside," he murmured to himself. "I can't believe you would do this to yourself! If the goddess sees you in this state, what will she say?"With a sigh, strong arms scooped me up from the cave floor. He stroked my hair tenderly while carefully pressing my head against his chest."Everything is going to be alright," he muttered, his heartbeat lulling me to sleep. "I will look after you."His words contained a promise that I could not ignore.H
Nicolas POV"Where are you going?" I inquired as Ray abruptly veered off course and sprinted past the cave. "The cave is just there!""The lake," he replied, "we can't go look for Zara smelling like Terra. She would be furious, and I don't want her mad at us."I acknowledged Ray's point and nodded in agreement, but it would cause us to fall further behind schedule.Dammit! Why would Zara decide to run away at a time like this? Couldn't she just stay put?When the lake finally appeared, the sight of its pristine blue water was mesmerizing. At least the cave was not too far away.Ray always loved water, and he crashed into it, making a huge wave.I let him run and play in the water for a minute so he could enjoy the cool water."Feeling better?" I asked after he returned to shore."Yeah," he answered. "We also smell a lot better."Ray shook his fur to remove the water, then scampered back toward the cave. It appeared as if the water had carried away all of his troubles during those flee
Nicolas POV"This feels cozy, does not it?" Winking at me, Terra licked her upper lip and whispered. Upon my attack, Terra managed to miraculously shift back into a human. Ray came tumbling down on top of her, and we all ended up stuck in an old rotten tree stump tangled in some overgrowth. Now she was purposefully rubbing her nude body against mine, taking advantage of our vulnerability.Ray became agitated by the second, and I let out an embarrassed sigh inwardly. When he growled at her to stop rubbing her body against him, she became even more determined to do so."I think Alpha Nicholas had enough of your childish games," Ronan said, drawing nearer. "Is it not evident from his growl how irritated he is?""Irritated? That sounded more like a purr than a growl," Terra remarked as she extended her hand to caress Ray's head.Ray growled, but Terra simply winked at him and withdrew her hand.Ray moved his massive body uncomfortably, attempting to put distance between Terra's and his bo
Nicolas POV"I am so glad you waited," Terra said with the sweetest voice. "I wanted to come and give you a personal thank you."Terra tilted her head sideways, observing the quiet Ray. He did not move. He was staring at Terra with disgust.Yet she misread the hostility as something else, which made me nauseous."Do you like what you see?" she asked. "I have ensured that every aspect of me is flawless just for you!"The dark bruises on Terra's slender body had vanished, and the cuts on her face had healed—her wolf had done her magic.Terra grinned, tossed her hair over her shoulder, and placed her hands on her hips. She was not embarrassed by her appearance; instead, she began to parade before me as though she were at a fashion show.She spun around quickly, flaunting all of her assets."This is all yours," she said, pointing to her body. "You can have a taste of me now; I would not mind, and it could be our little secret. I want to express my gratitude to you for saving me."Ray shoo
Zara's POV"Wow!" Levi gasped beside me and pointed to the door where one of the pack Alphas had just entered. "That one seems even more appetizing than the one before him!"Two beautiful she-wolves, who looked like twin sisters, flanked the Alpha, and his Beta and Delta followed closely behind."Yes, Levi," I said, raising my glass to my lips and taking a sip. "He certainly does."Levi is my best friend. We grew up together, and we were inseparable from the age of four. He towered over my small 5'2 frame at 6'3. He had an impressive physique, featuring massive biceps, a six-pack to die for, and a firm yet powerful body. He had the most beautiful golden locks that stood proudly in every direction, giving him the iconic appearance of having just rolled out of bed. To top it all off, he had the most beautiful deep blue eyes I had ever laid eyes on.Levi was flawless in every way, and even though he drew attention wherever we went, he had one little secret: he was gay.A breath escaped m
