Max's POV

I stare into the fire until my eyes burn and grab another beer, the glass cold against my fingers. Foam spills over my tongue, bitter and sharp, and I drain it even though it sits heavy in my gut like a stone. My hand shakes when I reach for the next bottle, the taste already sour and metallic, burning its way down my throat, but I keep going because stopping means thinking. Time stretches, filled with pointless chatter and the clink of bottles, until a car engine growls away down the

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 465

    Zahra's PovWe chat away in the living room for what feels like five minutes, but when Lincoln squeezes my hand and I look up, I realise the light is golden and the sun is starting to descend in the sky."It's nearly time for dinner to be served. Do you want to change?" Lincoln asks. "We're relaxed here and you look beautiful, as always. I just didn't want to take the option away from you," he hurries on, as if worried I'll be offended by his words.I smile at him and glance at the others. They are all in shorts and T-shirts, or, in Holly's case, a light summer skirt and a sleeveless top.I'm in the sundress I put on this morning to make a good first impression. It's clean and not too wrinkled and will still serve its purpose. I don't want the others to think I'm high maintenance."I'm happy to go down like this," I say to Lincoln, squeezing his hand gently.He smiles, his silver eyes bright, but beneath it I can feel his nervous excitement through the bond.Fuck... this is about to h

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 464

    Zahra's POVLincoln continues; "Well, then, once we woke up, Tobias and I went to see Zahra because we'd missed her birthday, and then we were told she'd been poisoned, and naturally we were worried. And when we got there... the bond snapped into place. We've been in Bloodmoon trying to figure things out and spending time together.""Wow, this is complicated," Holly breathes. "Three separate packs, units, the lot?"I nod."Where will you live?"We shrug."We haven't figured anything out yet, and we know the responsibility of our units is going to increase. But thankfully I'm the only acting Alpha at the moment. Hopefully we'll have figured out more of a plan before the others are sworn in."They all look a little shell-shocked, and the room falls into silence. Nobody even seems to blink.My anxiety rockets.They're judging us.They don't want me as their Luna anymore.They're going to think I'm a slut. That I'm unworthy of being their Luna.Lincoln's hand finds mine. He interlocks our

    Zahra's POV"So, Luna," Tammy starts, "how did you meet Lincoln?""Zahra, please. You're going to be my unit and, hopefully, my closest friends. Just Zahra is fine," I say, smiling at them all.But her question surprises me."Didn't they tell you?" I say, looking at the guys."Tell us what?" Tammy says.I smile."I've known them all for ages. I met Lincoln and Sam four years ago at the Alpha King's summer training camp. Then I was at the dinner where Tobias and King James introduced Isaac and Jackson to Sam and Lincoln.""Oh, so you've known them all longer than we have?" Holly says, smiling.I nod."I still can't believe you're lucky enough to be mated to Zahra, man," Sam says, shaking his head.Holly smacks his arm."I'm right here," she scowls at him.He chuckles, kissing her nose."Not like that, babe. It's just Zahra here is more than a little special. She's the best warrior any of us have ever seen, she graduated high school at fourteen, graduated Night Howlers Academy early, an

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 462

    Zahra's POVLincoln leads me downstairs to the first floor and towards what I assume is the living room he mentioned."My father removed the Luna's office not long after my mother died, and he expanded the other offices on this floor instead. If you'd like, we could convert one of the bedrooms upstairs. Or you could do what the other female units do and we could share the Alpha office."I can hear the hope in his voice."Do you, by any chance, like the idea of me sharing your office?" I ask with a smile.He nods."Very much. I like the idea of having you beside me. But if you'd prefer a more traditional approach, we can sort something."I smile."Nothing about this is traditional. I'm happy to share your office."He grins down at me, pulling me into his arms, and kisses me hard. His hand finds my hair, and mine finds his chest, as we make out in full view of anyone in the corridor.When he pulls back, he's breathless and, judging by the tent in his trousers and the scent filling the c

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 461

    Zahra's POVI've never really spent much time in a pack house. In Bloodmoon, the units reside separately, and I never really had cause to visit one. The Silver Dawn one was so modern and sleek compared to this, and even then, I wasn't there very often. Seb usually came to the Alpha House if we wanted to spend time together, so I rarely visited the pack house myself.The first floor comprises bedrooms, I think."These are rooms for anyone who's not yet been assigned a family house. Unmated, over-age wolves who want to leave home can come here, and a few warriors who defend the pack house. We have more barracks out the back that we built because we're trying to increase our warrior numbers, but a lot of them choose to live in their family dwellings when they're not on duty."I nod. It's strange thinking I'll need to know all of this by heart soon.The next level up seems to be offices."The unit offices are up here, as well as the Head Omega's. Janice keeps a small office up here, but s

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 460

    Zahra's POVHe opens his door as the others open theirs, then hurries around the truck to open mine.Xander and Tobias move to the truck bed to get the bags as Lincoln leads me towards the front steps of the cabin. Every wolf in the vicinity has stopped what they're doing and is watching us.An elderly man kneeling in the dirt by the steps stands, brushing his hands on his trousers."Alpha!" he says with a bow."George, how are you?" Lincoln asks, shaking the man's hand."Well, thank you, Alpha. We've missed you. It's good to have you home."His eyes flick to me with open curiosity before returning to Lincoln."It's good to be home. George, can you ask Janice to prepare a good dinner tonight? I have an announcement to make to the pack."Lincoln beams at me before George smiles too."Of course, sir." He bows again, then hurries off around the house."George is in charge of the house and grounds, and his mate, Janice, is in charge of the kitchen and household staff.""He seems nice?" I a

    Tobias's POVThe crunch of my boots on the gravel drive sounds too loud in the quiet of the night. Nothing stirs around me. The warm air slides across my skin, soothing the last remnants of the hospital’s sterile chill, but it does nothing to settle the mess in my head.My emotions are a fucking tan

    Zahra's POVThere is a long, heavy pause. Then I hear the quiet shaky exhale he tries and fails to muffle. The sound scrapes at something deep inside me. I don’t want it to affect me, but it does. I made myself look at him just now, and the image won’t
