CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXTAYLOR'S POV“Damn that bitch!” I screamed, jamming my foot against the car door. “I will kill her, Zephyr. I am going to kill her.” Zephyr stood there, a few feet away from me and that car. He was smiling. I spurn around, to see who I was talking to. He beamed at me, flashing his fine complete set of white teeth and this dangerous long fangs.“You think this is funny don't you?” I pointed at him, my face squeezed in anger.“I just got stripped in a hall full of people and you are smiling?!”He let out a breath while his smirk got bigger. Clearly he thought I was amusement.“Get in the car, Taylor.”“No! No I am not. I just put these tyres in between that biych’s head and start the engine, then I will get into the car.”He chuckled. “You are really thinking about doing this. Here's what. She will not be going anywhere tonight. Tomorrow, you can kill her. Right now,” He came close, close enough to cover everything distance between us. “Lets go home. I need to look
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENTAYLOR'S POV “Taylor. Talk me whats going on with…”I smashed my lips against him immediately. He stumbled back a little, his eyes wide open. He held me by the waist as push me away, out lips breaking free.“Taylor, what are doing? Are you in heat?” He asked, still trying to process what was happening. But I wasn't. “Zephyr, I need your help.” I wiggled a little while pulled on the strip hand of my bra. He eyes grew wider. He seemed frozen on the spot he was standing.“I'm so hot. I need to get cold. I need you make to make it stop.” My fingers went around to unclip the hooks that held the bra in place. “Taylor. Waut. No.” He rushed the bed sheets, throwing it on me. He tried to hold me but I fought.“Zephyr stop. You are making it worse. I'm burning.” I yelled. He threw away the sheets immediately and tried to hold my hands inside. I pressed my chest against him, rubbing on him. His was like blocked ice and I was a woman light up in flames. Touching him was get
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTTAYLOR'S POVI hit the road after the argument driving around the streets with no destination in mind. I was angry. Angry at everything and everyone. My rage, like pressure, built inside of Mr until my chest is as do tight and I couldn't breathe.My eyes weighed and my heart sank. My lips quivered and tears threatened to stream down on face. I knew I just couldn't continue driving around but where would I go? For the first time since this whole thing started, it dawned on me that no one ever really understood what I was going through.Daaisy was all about sex and mother was all about having a good family and shopping. They didn't get it when I said I was trying to avoid those things happening. They just couldn't. I parked the car, winded up leaned back on the car seat, picking up my phone. I scrolled through. It was a very short list. There was just ten contacts, just ten.I let out a pained smile. I didn't realize I was so alone. I laughed again, tears dripping d
CHAPTER SIXTY-NINEZEPHYR'S POVThis is the first time in my life I had ever felt so guilty. And the first time, I couldn't drink. Damn it, when it comes to Taylor It's always so different.I got out the kitchen, abandoning the venture to find something tomout in my mouth. I settled for TV instead. Perhaps I could find the right distraction. I turned it on and went looking for popcorn.Taylor had them stocked mnesr the microwave. I pulled out a few and a note fell from the pile.‘Don’t take too much’ was written on it, in her handwriting. I huffed, dropping it into the pile. Damn it. Everything reminds me of her. Of last night. Maybe I should have tried harder. Unlike me, she is absolutely more than eager to be free if this marriage. I heaved. Quite a while ago, I realized that I didn't do much hate it like I thought I did. Maybe this is really my….*Ding dong*The door bell rang. I turned sharply, abandoning the popcorn. Taylor is back. Thank the goddess. I strode to the door and swu
CHAPTER SEVENTYTAYLOR'S POV Alpha Kaden lent me his big boy car. As he called it. The speed was damn right and the turns were twice as smooth as Zephyr's car. I loved the vehicle but I didn't borrow it just to joy-ride.Alpha Kaden told me that Lana was back. Zephyr’s ex. She came to see him yesterday and she seemed rather determined to get back together with Zephyr. I don't know why that didn't sit well with me at all. I tired to wave if off wbut the uneasiness it caused me was unbearable. I had to get back to that house, hopefully before she did. Zephyr and I, may not be the real deal but no third wheels especially not one like her. I parked the car right in front of the stone bridge and hurried towards the house. My heart thumping faster and faster. I felt the tremors in different part of my body. I was scared. When I saw the front door open, it became even more obvious that I was. “Zephyr. Zephyr where are you?! Zephyr.” I called out, slowly walking into the house. I could sm
CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE TAYLOR’S POV “What have you got for me?” I pressed my ass on the couch in her parlor, crossing my legs.“A boat load of stuff. Wait for me.” she exited the room.and returned a moment later with a big suitcase. I helped her place it on the glass table at the center of the parlor and she unzipped it. “This is my mother's special works of art. Father once had a mistress that mother could not get ride of, at first. She was his faithed mate but mother was father’s chosen mate. So mother spent days inventing these. She went from keep he away to chasing her off completely.”She graced the objects in the suitcase gently almost like she was caressing it. She seemed rather proud of them.“You need the chaser I believe which means you will have to use some of these.” She pulled out many things. Lingeries, Ropes, sprays, even concoctions. When my eyes inspected all of it, I knew I had to cut her short.“Hold on a sec. All this stuff is for sex.”“Yeah of course it is. You h
CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO DAISY’S POV I turned to Taylor, who was seated back on my couch, Theodore hanging by the door like his mother caught him stealing meat. I cleared my throat and started my explanation.“I’m mated to Theodore. I found out a while after you and Zephyr got married. But I didn't want It. I went to see Oscala and I throwes Tantrums. Lucky for me I wasn't as important as you so I was told I could get a second chance mate but when was uncertain. So long as I didn't nate with Theodore I would be fine. He found out about it too and I told him straight up that I didn't want him. It was all mixed feelings and awkward silences after that. Until one night.”Taylor raised a brow. “Night?”“Just listen.” (FLASHBACK TO THE NIGHT AFTER TAYLOR CAME TO SLEEP OVER AT HER PLACE BECAUSE OF THE INCIDENT IN THE CAR WITH ZEPHYR)I knocked at his door and then folded my arms akimbo. My silver purse hanging off a chain on my shoulder. I had chosen a black over white net socks. Perfect bat
CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREETAYLOR'S POV After hearing the story I just couldn't help but feel really happy for them. Unlike me and Zephyr, they were having a lovely time together and I could see it in the way she looked at him while she told their tale. I offered to take the couch for the night. They refused of course but I didn't care that they did. Obviously Theodore did not sneak up to her house dressed the way he did and wearing the perfume he was, just for fun. I wouldn't get it the way of whatever they had planned.A few hours later, I regretted that. I had to plug my ears and listen to music all night but even with the bass blazing high I could still hear faint sounds of Daisy moaning and the bed rocking hard. Lucky them.I left before the day broke. Lana would definitely want to be in that house as early as ever and so I had best her to it. It was bright and shining when I returned. I had a key so I let myself in. I went upstairs immediately, strolling quietly down to the study.
CHAPTER NINETY-FIVETAYLOR’S POV “Is it something I said?”I turned sharply, searching for the voice that just spoke to me. Zulu made me a small smile, indicating that it was him.“Are you talking to me?” I asked, touching my chest lightly.“Can I?” He replied with a question. His tone sounded a bit worried. It was understandable why.“Yes of course you can. I'm not as hard core as Zep… my husband.” I corrected myself immediately. I can't be going around calling him by his name.“That's very good to know.” He said. He was still asleep stiff as I remembered him except this time he was making some effort to loosen up a bit. I found it quite flattering.“It's not something you said, by the way. He does that whenever he has something to say and he doesn't want to look like a joker.”“It is a rather frightening way to do so.” Zulu remarked. I only smiled, looking away from him. My gaze went to the closed doors. Who knows how long they will be there. It's best if I find something to do ins
CHAPTER NINETY-FOURTAYLOR’S POVThe night passed and day broke, the Lycan king sent a convoy to bring us to the palace. Beautiful carriages and beautiful she-wolves as escorts. They brought apparels for us to clothe ourselves. The Lycan king wanted us to look more dazzling than himself. Zephyr rejected them all. He didn't want the attention. Instead he only let one carriage and then some guards escort us. It made perfect sense to me why he did that. He was going to show the Lycans he wished to make peace with, he was a pompous proud bastard who showed off at every chance he got. Although I felt there was more to it and so I asked him. “Zephyr, why did you reject the convoy?” “I didn't want to sell the wrong image to these Lycans. They are quite on edge because they know the king of the creatures that has massacred them for years, is in their land for peace matters. They don't believe it's why I'm really here. They don't trust me. All these fanciful stunts will only make them seem
CHAPTER NINETY-THREETAYLOR'S POVI sucked in a breath and exhaled. I could feel the lascivious gazes of all the guards burrowing into my skin; undressing me even before I did it myself. I drew closer to Zephyr,. placing my hands on his lap. I calmly pointed out to the guards everywhere. I wasn't doing anything with these people. He whispered to me. “If I tell them to go then you have to agree to takes your jeans off too.”“No!” I sprang away from him immediately. “Alright then, I won't tell them to do anything.”“You are being a pain in the ass right now.”I beamed. It only made my anger worse. “Why are you being so difficult?” I couldn't help but ask him.“Because it's more fun this way. Humor helps with the pain.”“Your pain sure is picky.” I said, sarcastically.“Yes it is.” He replied me like it was an ordinary observation.“You suck.” I snapped. “No I don't. But I have what you can suck.” My eyes widened. It was his words were slaps smacking my face back to back with embar
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOTAYLOR'S POV The sight that met us when we rode into the Lycan kingdom was not at all like anything I had seen before. I stared about the window, my eyes wide in disbelief. The houses were built in different delicate shapes and sizes. The architecture was ancient but magnificent. The passing Lycans who trended the roads, were all wrapped in silk like fabrics with dazzling embroidery that seemed to always match the tattoos that all had. The men were hefty and handsome looking. I couldn't spot one who wasn't. The women were breath taking with their alluring curves and their unique choice of attire. Their tattoos were bolder, running down their neck and probably over their chests. I couldn't help but I stare so hard I forgot I had to put on airs until Zephyr gently pulled me away from the window. He whispered into my ears.“You should be a little more pompous than this. We will have plenty time to stare from the comfort of our place here.”“Oh, yeah. Sorry about tha
CHAPTER NINETY-ONETAYLOR'S POV “I like the way your tongue feels in my mouth.”My eyes grew wider. I pulled away from him instantly, my cheeks flushing. He chuckled devilishly, his fangs revealing in the most seductive way. I stared at him with my eyes wide open. He lay on the bed like a delicious predator. Everything about the hot way he looked made me want him; made me want to forget he was hurt and take off the rest of his clothes. But I wasn't letting him use his charm to deceive me. I massaged my temples, easing out the anger that was threatening to come up. I looked at him. “Noce stunt but I'm not buying it. What's wrong with Zephyr? What do you want to tell me?”“I already said it. What-” he leaned forward, painfully; a groan escaping his lips. “Do you think I don't mean it? I can show you how much I do.”I sucked in a breath and exhaled. “How much does it hurt, Zephyr? Why are you trying to pretend you are not in so much pain? Why are you trying to hide that…. That…” my vo
CHAPTER NINETYTAYLOR'S POV I hid anywhere I could. I was freaked out. The outside was saturated with growls and roars; the stench of blood was in the air and all up my nose but that wasn't the worst. I could feel the stabs that Zephyr was taking, faintly, but it was still enough for me to know it was painful. I muttered a prayer to the goddess, begging her to keep Zephyr safe. He had been hurt not long ago and now he was taking another hit. There really is so much an alpha can take, especially an Alpha whose power is repressed because he has not mated. I bit down on my quivering lips and tried to calm my heart but I couldn't. It thumped so hard against my chest that I just had to spring out from behind that bed and rush to the door. I banged against it immediately, yelling.“Open this door, I need to help him. I got to help Zephyr, open this goddamn door!!” Evan appeared in my face immediately. He was scared but he was going to be fine.“I can't do that my Luna, I'm so sorry!!” H
CHAPTER ZEPHYR'S POVI had Taylor stay inside while I sat at the door with Evan. Ivan is somewhere as backup. I opted to play an old high school game with Evan while we patiently awaited our faith. To be honest, Taylor's idea wasn't just hers alone.Her idea has crossed my mind actually. The moment I wandered into this village, before I knew that they were going to just come and go, we would be writing out names in the history of this place, as one of its problems. Back then, when I came here and got robbed, I learnt from Father's beta that father and the village were in some kind of peace pact so he could do his dwindling business and father would get a percentage of his earnings. I admit, my father wasn't the best man. Apparently, the small pack had gone from shady business to harbouring rogues and using them to steal and kill. I lost good wolves in that forest and I wasn't going to let it go.“Alpha, if the attack tonight, what will be our fighting strategy.”“Protect the forth.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINETAYLOR'S POVOur lips disengaged but we stayed the way we were, just staring into each other’s eyes. It was like time had frozen and we had a moment to ourselves. A moment to finally say what we had been hiding. Looking into his eyes was like staring at all my lies. My heart weighed with guilt. Suddenly I discovered I had a big secret and I didn't want to say. He was breathing slowly, the warmth of his breath brushing against my nose. I watched his eyes trail off to look at my injuries then he returned to gaze back at me. He seemed to want to say it. I could feel him, I could hear his heart racing like mine. It seemed like he wanted to say exactly what I wanted but like me, he was scared. What would become of us if he uttered those words.In that silence, we both decided to do the only thing we could and keep this secret to ourselves. Zephyr leaned back in and lifted me to him, I embraced him while he sat on the bed. We kissed again, longer. It was a tender touc
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXTAYLOR'S POVI leapt into the open field, darting my eyes from right to left; fists balled and read to meet my enemy. The sight I beheld, shocked me to my bone and marrow.I didn't just meet him. I met a field littered with the corpses of wolf guards, rogues were everywhere. Zephyr was right in the middle, a silver blade sticking out of his side. He was breathing difficulty, his face and his clothes damped in his own blood. Our eyes met and he was stunned to see me. He sprang towards me immediately, yelling. “Run Taylor!!! Run!!!!”I spun around… and dived back into the forest. Zephyr and a pack of wolves crashed right behind me. I ran faster and faster and faster. Hell, I didn't know which way to go or what I was going to do, I just ran. I could sense the aura of something dark and evil tearing a path behind me; trying to find me. I crashed into trees, tripped on vines and collided against rocks but I picked myself up and I just kept moving until my body began to
