CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THREETAYLOR'S POVShe grabbed my hand, but her hold was so weak. She looked like her life was slipping away. But even then, I didn't want to let go. “Listen and listen carefully, your opinion about can burn in hell for all I care because whether you like me or not, you still have to give me the respect I esrned. If you every see me again and keep up that act in my presence, I will break your neck.”I flung her aside, she fell to ground like a rag doll. Her body was still trembling and her chin was bruised badly, my fingers permanently imprinted on her face. I told the maids to bring along what I had bought and keep it in the couch. I had lost my flare for shoes. Zulu, followed closely behind me. He didn't say anything until about half an hour afterwards. By then, j was starting to feel guilty.“She does that to all the customers. It's a way to keep people from buying a lot because they have the money. There won't be enough shoes to around if she doesn't do that.

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWOTAYLOR'S POV I definitely had no intention of using that privilege casually. But I planned on being as moderate as I could- at first until I learned that Zephyr was going to pay for it.I wanted him goodbye that morning, wearing a sinister smile. There was just something so delicious about making him have a heart attack when he sees the bills. I couldn't part with that feeling.I instructed the maids to bring the biggest couch they had. The one Zephyr left it, was so not going to fit all the boxes I would be coming back it. While they found the biggest couch that had, I reached out to Zulu through a guard. He would be my tour guide today. I heard he was given a day off from work. Don't really care why.Zulu arrived a hour after I asked for him. He was riding a pretty large couch, way bigger than I had imagined. I loved it immediately I saw it. It was perfect.“Good day, Luna Taylor.” Zulu bowed.“Oh, save me the pleasantries, where are we going first?” I aske
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND ONETAYLOR'S POVTHREE DAYS LATER “Zephyr, how long does it take to draft a document for a treaty?” I grumbled from the kitchen floor while fixing him some hot pot.“Longer than we ever imagined apparently. Turns out the Lycans and the wolves have a lot of controversies to settle. We can't sign anything or agree on anything without going round to talk to a bunch of old werewolves.”I walked in just in time to see him huff and throw his writing pencils on the table. He covered his face and let out a deep sigh. “We are going to be here longer than we thought.” “You are figuring that out now. I didn't think you were that slow.” I whispered, mockingly. He smiled and I laughed at him. “Dig in before it gets cold.” I put his plate close to him. He flung the manuscript aside and settled in to enjoy the meal.“So where are we going next?”“There is a cave on the famous salt road that connects our pack with the Lycans. It extends for distances on end, it's the best rout
CHAPTER HUNDREDZEPHYR'S POV “Last night was amazing, Taylor.” I said, out of the blue, during breakfast although there were more than ten servants an earshot from us.She almost choked on her veggie-salad. She glared at me. I flashed her a naughty grin. She rolled her eyes and returned to her salad. She wasn't going to blow me off. I wouldn't let her. We had unfinished business to attend to.“I haven't forgotten what we talked about last night.” I picked up the glass of wine next to me and took a sip. “We still need to talk about it.”“I already gave you my stand.” She said, stuffing her mouth full of veggies. The servants hovered around, cleaning one spot eight times before they moved over.“Yes, because you wanted to get laid” she eyed me, I pretended like I didn't see that. “But I want the real one.”“Zephyr-”“I thought a lot about this last night.” I cut in, rising from my seat. I signaled the servants to leave so we could be alone. Then I pulled her away from her salad, and t
CHAPTER NINETY-NINETAYLOR'S POV After he said that, I knew I had one goal tonight; to stay wide awake still day breaks. Zephyr was so not going to get me tangled up with him tonight. I wiped the dishes clean and stacked them back into the cupboard above the sink then I went outside, finding a seat by the stone table. The cool night breeze would be perfect for staying awake or so I thought. Half an hour later, I was passed out on the table, dreaming of a nice cozy bed in a manor far away from Zephyr.It was Zephyr's gentle touch that woke me. He whispered into my ear while I tried to open my eyes.“You will catch a cold. Let's go inside.”“I don't want to.” I muttered, stretching out my hands. “I'm staying right here.”“Taylor, are you running from me?” I looked at him. “Why would I do that? I'm just enjoying the moonshine.”“Taylor.” His voice was stern all of a sudden.“Mhmm.” I placed my head back on the stone table, my eyes fixed on him.“It's just us lying on the same bed. Yo
CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHTZEPHYR'S POVI never thought walking away from Taylor would be harder than lifting a boulder. I knew her well, she wasn't going to listen to me. She wasn't going to leave that boy alone either. She loved the attention; to look obtainable and be untouchable. I didn't know how else to make her understand that I hated it when they looked at her.I heaved, turning a page on the manuscript I was holding. My mind far away from its contents. What could I possibly do anyways? She and I are not really a thing. She wouldn't let anyone come close to her, that was for sure but she wouldn't stop them from ogling. For some reason it was different when it came to me. Frankly, I didn't mind. I didn't want anyone near me. She was just enough. A handful in fact. Which is why I keep wondering why she is okay with that. Aren't I enough for now? Aren't I a handful?“Alpha Zephyr. Alpha Zephyr.” The voice broke right into my thoughts. I looked up, to see who was calling. The Lycan ki
CHAPTER NINETY-SEVENTAYLOR'S POV The Lycan king requested Zephyr's presence almost immediately after we left the garden. Zephyr declined of course, proudly telling the messenger to convey to the Lycan king that he , Zephyr, is too busy doing nothing to have his time.I stopped the messenger and then compelled Zephyr to go. It would not do this treaty any good if he was not cooperative but instead, insultive. It took him a while to finally take my advice and leave but not after he made a clear order that I return home straight away.When he left, I shook my head. He was such a grumpy little boy sometimes. Did I do what he said after he left? Nope. I was so going to enjoy my stay here whether the Lycan king and his dumbass behaviour liked it or not. First of all, I had to find my handsome tour guide - Zulu. I glided gently down the pavement leading away from the garden. I wasn't looking anywhere in particular because I knew I didn't have to. “Zulu. You can come out now. I know you a
