Zelda"What the hell are you doing here?" Jake didn't argue, instead, he ran off. "How are you, honey?" My mother came to hold me. "I'm okay, Mom," I smiled. "How was your outing?" I asked immediately to lighten up the atmosphere."That jerk. I can't believe he still has the face to come here." She hissed. "I think Zelda needs to rest. She looks tired." Drake said, his eyes fixed on me. He is my mate after all. He could probably feel my exhaustion. "Yes Mom, I need to rest." I sighed in relief. "Alright dear, goodnight." She kissed my cheek. "Goodnight Mom," I hurried off before she noticed something else. The next morning, I woke up feeling better and light. I went straight to the bathroom and took a quick bath. I dressed myself up in what I'm most comfortable in, jeans and a shirt. I hurried out of the house and headed straight for work.I was welcomed to work by Gina. She was smiling from ear to ear as I arrived. "How are you, girl?" She winked. "I heard that Jake was i
CindyI paced around the room, my anger bubbling over. “How could the Alpha not punish Zelda and her boss?” I muttered to myself, my voice filled with frustration. It wasn't fair that they had gotten away with their behaviour.On top of everything else, I was mad at Zelda's boss for twisting the whole story and beating me at my own game. I knew that he had lied to the Alpha, and I couldn't believe that he had gotten away with it. I knew that the Alpha was a just leader, and I trusted his judgment, but I couldn't help but feel angry at the entire situation. I was struggling to find a way to let go of my anger and move on.I couldn't help but think that Zelda must be happy right now. She had humiliated me in front of the entire store and in front of the Alpha. I was certain that she must be feeling triumphant, and it made me even angrier. I knew that I needed to find a way to let go of this anger, but I didn't know how. It felt like I was stuck in a cycle of anger and resentment, a
JakeI was lying in bed while Cindy was busy pacing about in my room, she fisted her hand angrily. Angry at the turn of events, I must commend that Zelda’s boss is smart and knows how to talk himself from trouble. My ego was hurt, and I had to try to stop myself from going to Zelda’s home and punching him in the face. “How can the alpha let him go, he should have punished him,” Cindy said, and I tilted my head to look at her. “And you will be punished too, Father was only considering that and decided to let you be” I replied and Cindy snorted.I squeezed my eyes closed and Cindy was busy nagging, I was tired of hearing her voice and I stood up from the bed.“Where are you going?” she asked, and I sighed, turning to look at her “I’m going out for a walk” I replied to her and she wrapped her hand beneath her chest, which made her breasts push up a bit. “We should think about how to humiliate Zelda and her boss, this is not the time to go out for a walk,” Cindy said, and I arched my
ZeldaI was expecting Drake to follow me after our argument, but to my disappointment, he did not. I knew that it was for the best, but I couldn't help but feel a little hurt. I guess part of me still wanted him to care enough to chase after me. But I knew that was foolish. I needed to move on, and I needed to do it on my own.The store had more customers, so I immediately joined Gina to attend to them. I knew that I wasn't ready to face Drake again, and I was glad that he was gone. But I knew that I couldn't keep hiding from him especially when we lived in the same house.I know that I have to face my fears and confront my emotions. Otherwise, I would never be able to move on.I was about to serve a chocolate drink when I accidentally spilled a small amount on my feet. I let out a small shout as the hot chocolate splashed on my foot. I tried to brush it off, but I couldn't help but feel like I was in a comedy of errors. My life was a mess. I couldn't help but wonder what was wron
ZeldaI decided to open the door as my mother wouldn’t stop calling me. I didn’t want her to worry and I didn’t want Drake to think that I was affected by him so I opened the door and let her in.“Honey….”My mom kept talking, but I wasn't listening to her. I was just nodding along, my mind still spinning from what had happened earlier.I couldn't stop thinking about Drake and how close they had been, both physically and emotionally. I didn't know what it meant, or what to do about it. I just knew that it was confusing and overwhelming, and It wouldn’t stop playing over and over in my head.I noticed that Drake was staring at me, but I refused to look him in the eyes. I was too afraid to do so, knowing that he would be able to read me like a book.I felt like I was an open book, and I didn't want him to know what I was feeling. I was scared that he would mock me, or that I would embarrass myself by revealing too much. I kept my eyes focused on my mom, trying to act as normal as possib
Zelda“Don’t Move!” the voice whispered in my ear. I struggled to see who was covering my mouth, I realized that I couldn't free myself from their grasp. I tried to call out for help, but no sound escaped my lips. I felt a panic rising in my chest, my heart pounding in my ears. I thrashed around, trying to break free from the person's hold. But they were too strong, and I felt myself losing consciousness.The person dragged me down a dark, deserted street, away from the house. I tried to scream, but my voice was muffled by the hand over my mouth. I felt the grip loosen, and I started to struggle against it. But before I could break free, I was suddenly released. I turned around, and to my surprise, the person who had been holding me captive was none other than Jake. I was shocked and confused, unable to understand why he would do such a thing. “What the hell was that?” I yelled at Jake, my voice full of anger and confusion. But instead of answering me, he just smirked. It was a
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
