Zara's POVOn our way home I refused to talk to my parents, instead I chose to stare out the window. I couldn't believe they would agree to send me to Darius's pack without consulting me."Zara, come here" my mom called after me as I stomped upstairs.I turned back to give her a piece of my mind but the look on my dad's face stopped me."Why would you make a decision about my life without asking me about it?"" We haven't come to an agreement yet, we need you and Darius to discuss first"." We both know that is a fucking lie, Darius and I have no say in this".My dad sighed and we turned to look at him." Zara, you know how things like these work, don't be angry at your mom"" Should I be angry at you instead?" I crossed my arms." You are just like your mother, too stubborn and sarcastic" my dad stood up from his chair to sit beside me." I am sorry we are doing this to you, this is a chance to make peace with the royal pack"I knew my parents wouldn't force me to mate with Darius but
Darius's POVZara's brother Zach gave me her number after I reached out to him. Zach and I had always been cordial with each other, we weren't friends but our relationship was better than mine and his sister.I decided to call Zara and she didn't pick up so I sent a text. After reading my text she refused to reply and I had to send another.Our conversation did not result to anything positive because she kept acting like a child. Eventually I gave up texting her and I decided to call.Zara informed me that she would be here in two days and she wanted a party. She hung up before I could reply and I stared at my phone in shock."What is it?" Josh asked me."I think she has some kind of split personality" I sat on the couch still shocked and amused by her actions. "After ranting about how she didn't want to come here, she suddenly says she would be here in two days and she wants a party"My mom came into my room, waving her phone in the air. She did her happy dance which includes a twirl
Zara's POVMy big mouth and my inability to reason properly when angry has caused me a lot of problems. And this is the worst one ever.My mom hasn't stopped making arrangements for me since I decided to go to Darius's pack."Don't look so gloomy, nobody is sending you to the slaughter house" Beth told me as she helped braid my hair."Anywhere Darius is feels like a slaughter house to me." I turned to face her, causing her to drop my hair. "I have to go there tomorrow. Why won't mom let me reschedule? Darius's parents look like nice people, they would understand".Beth glared at me and I sat properly."It is just a week and you can also practice for your contest there. Just give it a try, you and Darius could be good friends"" Good friends my ass" I scoffed, folding my arms over my chest.I wasn't hyped up to stay at another pack apart from mine. To me, my pack is where I get peace of mind."Just look at the positive side of it" Beth tried to cheer me up.An idea suddenly popped into
Darius's POV"Everything has to be perfect. I can't have Zara running back without staying for long" My mom fussed over everything she arranged earlier.Since today is the day Zara decided to come to the pack and she demanded a party, the whole pack has been in a merry mood.With the way they are acting,one would believe we never threw parties or someone has never done a mating ceremony in the pack before."Get rid of that negative energy before you ruin the mood"I jump up from the couch at the sound of my sister's voice. She stood by the door smiling with her arms out."God, I missed you" I hugged my sister and she rubbed my back."I know"I greet her mate who heads upstairs to unpack their bags."Have you seen mom?" I asked her."Yes, she is busy ordering everyone around outside and you are here being moody"" Because Zara and I should never be in one place" I replied instantly.My sister sits back on the couch, staring at me with one raised brow." I don't get this enemity between
Zara's POVI decided not to wear a dress but a suit my dad got from one of his conference.My uncle was the only one that had something bad to say about my outfit."You don't even dress like a woman, how do you expect to get an Alpha" He sneered at me." One more word from your mouth brother and I will rip your tongue out" My dad growled at his brother." Claws in, today is a happy day no need for any negativity" My mom ushered my dad into the car to prevent anything from escalating."Are you wearing a suit so you can easily run away?" My brother teased me.I rolled my eyes at him." Nope, it is because it is easier to hide the weapons I need to torture and kill Darius" I answered him seriously.My brother didn't fall for it but Beth did."Don't do that, unless you want to get killed and start a war"" I won't do that Beth"Beth began to sniff all of a sudden and my brother turned to her. Ever since he found out she was pregnant, he tuned his possessive to the highest."Are you crying?
Zara's POVMy dad's shouts from downstairs wakes me up. I sit up, disoriented and angry at him but his tone makes me realize it is something serious. I change out of my pajamas, and hurry downstairs to find out what is wrong.I nudge my brother who is standing quietly by the stairs. "What is going on?" I whisper in his ear." The same old rivalry between our pack and the royals, but this time someone fucked up"The blood moon pack and the royal pack have been at loggerhead for years now, even before I was born. I don't actually know what started the whole thing, only rumors about how our ancestors betrayed each other.It was tiring that the rivalry was still ongoing, even though it wasn't a big deal anymore. Despite the fact that I hate the feud, I actually contribute to it by constantly insulting and goading the Alpha anytime we meet.I watch as my mom pulls my dad to a couch so she could calm him down. My dad's beta stood to a side glaring at some teenagers. My dad leaves with his b
Darius's POVLeaving me in charge of the pack for two months had drained me of my energy. My parents decided to go on a trip, and leave me in charge of the pack.Luckily for me, today is the day they are due to come back. I can finally get my well deserved sleep."You need to get to the border now" My best friend and beta Jose, burst into the office.I closed the laptop and hurried after him.Just when I thought I could finally rest, something else comes up.I arrive at the border to see how pack doctors wheeling some people into the ambulance."What the fuck happened here?" I asked Josh." Some teenagers from the blood moon pack decided it was fun to attack the teenagers in our pack, and this is how it turned out"The rivalry between our pack and the blood moon pack had never been this serious. Just some teasing, goading and trash talking, but never this serious."Where are they?" "According to the guards, they ran immediately they saw how injured the omegas were".After making sure
Zara's POVThe smell of food wakes me up the next morning. I remember falling asleep while waiting for my dad."Happy birthday, my love" My mom greets me with a hug, the moment I enter the dining room.My dad, my brother and Beth follow suit. Like always my mom, and my brother present me with their presents first. My mom got me new books just like I wanted, and my brother got me a new ipad. Beth baked my cake as a present."Did you finally relent and get me an Harley?" I asked my dad.I grew up waiting a bike, but my dad wasn't keen on the idea. To him, it was just a death trap, and I was looking for a broken skull."Here, it is outside" My dad handed me the keys and I hugged him, before running outside.I screamed at the top of my lungs, the moment I saw my bike outside. I examined it, and saw it was the model I always wanted. "You got me a sportster" "Do you like it?" My dad asked as I got back inside." I love it. Can I take it for a drive now?" I asked, giddy with excitement."
