DrakeAs I lay in bed, Zelda's sad face kept flickering through my mind. I felt a pang of guilt and sadness, knowing that I had hurt her emotions. I tried to push the thoughts away, but they kept coming around, like a broken log. I knew I had to do something to make it right. But what? I could not figure out where to start.I couldn't help but wonder how Zelda would be feeling right now. Is she okay? The thought made my heart ache. I felt like I had done something unforgivable, like I had betrayed her.Even though I knew that I had not betrayed her. Her stubbornness has caused this. If only she had accepted me to be her mate we wouldn't have been in this mess, but no, she decided to be selfless and has caused both to be in pain.As I stood up and opened the window, I watched as she walked out of the house. I guess she's on her way to work. I felt a wave of guilt wash over me.I felt like I was making her comfortable in her home, and it made me feel sad.I decided to stay away from her
Drake"Are we home yet?" Madeline murmured. Her voice was low and full of excitement. She was so happy that she had too much drink at the party. After staying away for two weeks, I gave in to Madeline's incessant calling. Though she was asking about my welfare I could tell her despair from her voice. I wish I didn't have to lie to her. I wasn't able to hold myself from going back because I also missed Zelda. The urge to go see her was so strong that I could barely resist so when Madeline invited me to a get-together arranged in her office to welcome their new boss. I took the offer without thinking. I already set my plans in motion. Spies have been planted in my uncle's home. Now, I will get information on his daily activities. Taking my revenge will be a lot easier now As I walked through the forest surrounding our home, cradling the sleeping Madeline in my arms, a smile tugged at my lips. Throughout our date, her concerns about Zelda's heartbreak had been the only thing she
DrakeAs I walked into the room to take Madeline to her room, Zelda looked away, acting as if she didn't notice me in the room, so I walked up to where I placed Madeline and picked her up in my arms carefully so as not to wake her up. Then my gaze moved to Zelda; she looked like she was in a lot of pain, and I couldn't do anything to help her for now. I needed to take care of Madeline first by tucking her into bed, and then I could face the issue of Zelda's heat.As I carried her to her room, she was mumbling incoherent words as she wrapped her hands tighter around me. Then, a few seconds later, I heard her whisper, "Luther, I miss you. Please come back to us." I couldn't help but wonder who she was talking about. Not that I was jealous or something; I was just genuinely curious who this man named Luther was to the girls.Once I reached her room, I placed her on the bed gently and pulled the covers over her. As I was about to leave, she grabbed my hand, her eyes fluttering open. "D
ZeldaI could practically feel my burning up, and nothing I did helped with the pain. Why did my body feel like I was dying or something? Fuck I was in so much pain and would do anything to make it stop.I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear the door open up and Drake walked in. He had a pained expression on his face. "Drake, what is happening to me?" I asked as he took a seat on the chair in front of me, watching me with guarded eyes "You're going through your first heat" Drake answered "What! But I don't have my wolf yet, so why was I going through my heat?" I asked as a pained groan left my lips "It doesn't matter whether or not you have your wolf, you already found your mate so it triggered it," Drake explained as I watched him clench and unclench his hands that were on his laps"So this is basically your fault, I'm going through this because of you." "Well basically it's not my fault, you're the one who rejected me remember?" Drake said, a mischievous smile forming on
Zelda "You really shouldn't have dared me little one." Before I could react, he began tickling me mercilessly. "Stop, stop, stop," I pleaded, trying not to make too much noise since my mother was asleep in her room."Not until you tell me what's on your mind," Drake insisted, his fingers dancing over my ribs, leaving me breathless and giggling."Please, I hate being tickled," I begged, but it did little to stop Drake as he continued to tickle meDesperate to make it end, I relented, gasping, trying to catch my breath, "I'll tell you, just please stop tickling me." Immediately, he stopped tickling me, but before I could give him an answer, a sudden knock at the door made us go quiet."Honey, are you okay?" I heard strange noises and thought I'd check on you before going back to bed," my mother's voice carried worry and exhaustion."I'm fine, Mom. Did you enjoy your night out?" I replied."It's more fun with you," she yawned. "By the way, do you know where Drake went?""Not sure, Mom.
Zelda"How could you say that out loud?" I scolded, my face contorted in shock as I stared back at him."What am I just saying things the way they are? It is very obvious that I want you, so why would I have to lie about it like some teenager? I'm a grown man who knows what he wants," Drake explained, his straightforwardness catching me off guard."But you can't just go around saying stuff like this. It's not appropriate," I said, feeling my cheeks burning like a tomato."You're my mate, aren't you?" He asked. "So what is inappropriate about telling you that I want you in every way?""You know why?" I added, my voice trembling."Because I'm with your mother," he said, rolling his eyes at me. "I know you've told me that reason over and over again, and honestly, I'm tired of your excuses.""I'm not giving you excuses," I said, trying to defend myself.I just can't hurt my mother."You're trying to avoid taking responsibility," he said, his words cutting through my defences."What the he
ZeldaI was too mortified to leave my room after what happened between Drake and I last night. Would things be weird between us? I hope not, so we won’t give my mother any reason to be suspicious of us since I’ve come to a conclusion that I would not be telling her that Drake was my mate.Yes, I know it's unfair to Drake but I didn’t ask for this either, so let's hope that things work out and my heart doesn't completely shatter when they finally get married. I can’t hide in here all day, so I decided it’s time to grow some balls and face my problems head on.As I walked out of my room, I saw my mother and Drake in the kitchen, so I headed there, my mother was the first to see me and a smile made its way to her face."Hey honey, how are you feeling?’’ she asked as she placed a plate of pancakes in front of Drake, who turned to face me his face was void of emotion.“Hello Zelda,’’ he greeted with a polite smile Hello everyone," I replied, trying all I could to avoid answering Drake.
Zelda "Hello, Instructor Danny," I smiled, trying to make the atmosphere a little less awkward. "I have a really good reason for coming late," I said with the biggest smile I could muster as Danny's annoyed gaze locked on me."Okay then, let me hear your explanation," Danny said, his annoyance evident in his eyes and tone. I need to think of something fast otherwise, I will be in big trouble."My mother wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I had to take care of her until this morning," I lied, hoping he would buy my excuse."But, I saw your mother at the clinic just a few minutes ago, and she looked perfectly fine," Danny said, glaring at me."My mother is a workaholic; she never wants to miss work, even when she's sick," I quickly improvised.Danny's gaze swept over me before he shifted his attention to the rest of the group. "Get in line before I make you run this whole field twenty times," he commanded, and I complied immediately, not wanting any more attention."Yes sir," I mutter
