Chapter six

Ariel didn't know what happened because it happened so fast but the next she saw was her back being slammed on the wall and a tip of dagger pointed at her neck. She felt her heart summersault in her chest.

"You?" The person muttered in surprised on seeing her. "What are you trying to do?" Came the slightly irritated voice of Zeres whose dagger pointed at her neck.

The gaze in his eyes softened but his expression continued to stay the same as he stared at the naive little princess in front of him.

"I- I.." she stuttered unable to form coherent words. Goosebumps had formed all over her skin in fear of being killed. She could swear she had seen him leave through the gateway, how then did he get to move so fast to place a dagger on her neck?

"For someone who is planning on being the next Alpha, you sure do stutter a lot. I wonder if this is how you plan to stand and speak in front of your subordinate or are you just this way when you are with me?" He scoffed as he stared at he

  • MATED TO THE LOST PACK ALPHA   Savior

    His face was his usual neutral, controlled mask as he took her in, his eyes lingering for a split second on her shaking hands before coming back to hers. God, she couldn’t do this. This intense eye contact game they played. She just couldn’t do it right now, not with the way she was barely keeping down the scream that had been building in her throat. It wasn’t a scream of fear, or devastation, or desperation. Not even frustration, truly. It was trapped somewhere between them all, bouncing from one to the other while they laughed in her face— she'd been kidnapped and he was here to save her. Zeres was the last person she was expecting but somehow she knew he'd come. And that feeling of knowing he'd come for her— she didn't like it. “Did they hurt you?” The question, in that low, rough tone, caught her off guard. He was angry. Naturally, his face had this controlled and neutral expression but right now there was an edge to it, a murderous glint. And maybe she was hyperventilating

  • MATED TO THE LOST PACK ALPHA   Hot piece of magma

    ONE OF THE WORST THINGS ABOUT HAVING A ROUND-THE-CLOCK bodyguard was having them in one's space everytime of the day. Well, it wouldn't be that bad if it was anyone else other than Zeres. Suddenly, he was everywhere within Ariel's space, and it turned out that breathing air was quite taxing when one's mate was close by. A new discovery she had to make was: who knew such a side effect existed, or maybe it was guilt? Now, everywhere she moved, Zeres was right behind her. From spa day to shopping and even the littlest trip in the forest, it all felt strangely domestic in a way it hadn’t felt before with anyone, but today was different. She hadn't seen him throughout breakfast, and it was almost mid-afternoon. It was quite unlike him. Though they hardly said a word to each other after the club incident, he was always almost there. 'Maybe he got fed up with your incensants and thought it wise to leave your cowardly ass alone.' A thought had popped into her head, but she'd shoved it back

    “N-nothing.” The asshole said finally catching up with the mess he had landed.That took a while, Zeres had to admit but what was he expecting from a twerp— no— brained asshole anyways. The boys face had reddened with panic just from the little hold of Zeres. Zeres was sure the boy would have peed his pants if he carried out his wolf’s threat..“I don’t think it was nothing.” Zeres uttered tightening his hold on him, and the boy whimpered in pain. “You used a very derogatory word on my lady here, don't you think you need to apologize?.” Another tightening, another whimper. “Or would you prefer we do it my style, hmm?” Zeres didn’t need to spell out what his style was. “I’m sorry,” The boy mumbled begrudgingly to Ariel, who passed a stony look back to him She didn’t respond.“I didn’t hear you, say it like you mean it.” Zeres uttered adding a smile that made him look more unhinged. The smile contained more threat than humour. The boy’s eyes flashed with unmistakable hate, but he wasn’t

  • MATED TO THE LOST PACK ALPHA   Trouble

    Zeres had known. He'd known she would be trouble the minute he'd set his eyes on her and when Alpha Damon had asked for a guard to keep an eye on his daughter and he had opted to do it himself, he knew he was f”cked. Well he wasn't exactly asked, but told, because Alpha Damon dealt in orders, not requests. But Zeres could have easily given the assignment to one of the lesser guards but he had wanted to.Him guarding the daughter of his enemy and the mate who rejected him, when all he wanted was to do was forget she ever existed? Worst idea in the history of bad ideas but he didn't have time for regrets. Then, he’d looked at her beside Alpha Xander and he saw something in her eyes that tugged at him unfortunately. Maybe it was the hint of loneliness or the vulnerability she tried to hide.Whatever it was, it was enough for him to say yes, albeit having vengeance in his mind— what better way to get revenge than punishing her with his proximity. Crazy, how she'd thought rejecting him wa

    Just when Ariel was about to open the car door, she realized her hands had brushed against something, Zeres had also made the same attempt and while doing so their hands brushed against each other for a brief moment.There was a sudden surge of electricity within her over the brief contact. She wondered if it was him or static. She retracted her hands back and quickly said."You don't have to open the car door for me, I'm not incapable of doing so myself."Zeres didn't comment, he just blatantly ignored her and she knew it was intentional. "Rude." She muttered underneath her breath and rolled her eyes. For some unknown reason he was undeniably quiet than usual, he couldn't compliment her. Hailey had putting enough efforts in dressing her up for the goddamned club or whatever. Why was she even expecting a compliment from him? She definitely was dumb.The driver rev the car engine ready to start, when Zeres stepped into the car beside her."Wait! Wait! What are you doing?" She shrieked.

    "I would excuse you ladies to do your business. Just contact me through the mind link if you need anything, Milady." Said Zeres. "You know you are a weird one right? So now you believe they should be given privacy." Midnight tsked, he couldn't fully understand how the mind of this specie worked. Zeres only rolled his eyes at his supposed wolf and bowed at the two nobles before exiting the room. Midnight wasn't satisfied with Zeres nonchalant attitude towards him."So you are just going to keep ignoring me! I wonder how I ended up with you of all people anyways. The moon goddess tends to be unfair sometimes." He uttered soberly, he was trying to play the sympathy card even though he had known fully well that it won't struck a chord in this nuthead werewolf. "Yes, she's quite unfair for making you a wolf rather than a bird. You are better off as a noise maker, Nightmare." Zeres dull voice responded, his shoes clicking softly on the floor as he walked through the hallway. "For the one
