Zane didn't lie when he promised this weekend would be outstanding. This morning, we brought some sandwiches and a box of cold drinks as we boarded Zane's massive yacht. His friends Enrick and Xicie were already aboard while Lance arrived with his girlfriend Elise, accompanied by another woman around my age. Enrick and Lance’s scent were a bit odd, but for Xicie and the other woman, those were definitely humans.After everyone was introduced to me, Xicie turned to Zane."My sister just moved here and hasn't found her way around yet. I brought her with me so she could make some friends. Everyone, this is Marelva, our new resident."We all shook hands with her, and I couldn't help but notice that she was a stunning blonde. Her hair cascaded down over her shoulder like a waterfall, while her small waist curved into generous hips. My instincts kicked in as she locked eyes with Zane, there was something about the way they looked at each other that made me fe
Zane was so in tune with my emotions, he rolled over onto his side and we found ourselves wrapped in a tight embrace. I snuggled up close and draped one leg possessively over him as we lay intimately intertwined on the sandy beach. Marelva quietly lay behind us.I must have dozed off for some time, as I was awakened by a droplet that hit my nose. As soon as I opened my eyes, Zane greeted me with a grin on his face"Hey, Sleeping Beauty, time to go. The sun is now full above our heads and that can be dangerous".As his face hovered close to mine, our eyes locked onto each other in an intense gaze. Before I realized what was happening, our lips met in a deep kiss that left me breathless. Zane’s body pressed against mine as he positioned himself between my legs with care, supporting his weight on bent elbows so as not to crush me beneath him.Enthusiastically, I returned his kiss while my hands tangled in his hair. But not for long, we were forced to part when a voice interrupted us by
In the early evening hours, we arrived at an island situated in the Caribbean Sea.There were several houses there, clearly belonging to very wealthy people. We decided to move to Zane's place anyway. He explained that he was often away due to work obligations and so it was frequently occupied by vacationers throughout the year. However, lucky for us, it happened to be vacant and available for our use over the weekend.We chose to use it this evening. As we made our way halfway there, a family emerged in the distance near one of the houses. We greeted them warmly and proceeded on our path. Zane’s house was an expansive split-level with an airy open concept design that united the kitchen and sitting room into a luminous, grand space while bedrooms were located on the upper floor. When we inspected the rooms, they appeared spacious with several beds available so we immediately decided to create men's and women's sleeping quarters. "Since we're accustomed to sharing our beds with women
Megan was nowhere to be found after the incident.It appeared as though she had completely vanished from the face of the earth. Her parents and brothers still came by to socialize with us but they avoided any conversations related to their daughter's whereabouts and seemed oblivious about the events that transpired on the boat. It is possible that Megan provided an excuse to keep her family in the dark regarding the situation. In any case, we women spent this Sunday gossiping about celebrities and their private lives. We shared cooking secrets and soaked up some sun at the beach. Meanwhile, the men sailed away in a small boat a little way out to sea hoping to catch some fish but returned empty-handed. I guess it was just an outing for drinks and gossip far from our ears about the sexiest women they met at work.By the time they returned at noon, we had already prepared lunch and the chicken thighs were sizzling on the barbecue. They were famished so the
"I've told you many times that you're not going out to work. Why are you being so hardon me? Why do you insist on leaving the house? I'll take care of you, both financially and in any other ways. You don't need anything or anyone else anymore!"Zane is enraged.An hour ago, I exchanged phone numbers with our friends on the pier, and we said goodbye to them. Hand in hand, we went to his car where the fake smile immediately disappeared from his face.He completely ignored me and was silent as he drove home at high speed. I'm sure he's been caught by the traffic camera a number of times, and there's a hefty fine for exceeding the speed limit waiting for him later.As soon as he opened the front door and we went inside, he conveyed his anger."And you asked a stranger to look for a job for you while your man runs a business. Don't youhave any idea how much of a fool you've made me feel at that moment, Becca?" He threw his jacket onto the chair and barged over to the refrigerator to take
My job was my life.It was interesting work; my clients ranged from singers to actors, even unemployed rich women stopped by. Each had their own charm, and I treated them all equally with respect and patience. This approach had already earned me a fat sales commission and a lot of tips in the last two weeks, much to the annoyance of my colleagues. Their haughtiness didn't seem to benefit them much; customers were turned off by their unkindness and headed straight in my direction instead.My work had not only become a well-paid job for me but also a passion in which I fully indulged. It was very satisfying to see women and children leave the store much happier than when they entered. We received few male customers; it was often the women who did the shopping for their partners. Our online sales to CEOs and other influential individuals were also growing steadily.Mr. Sims, the branch manager, called me into his office today. I stood outside his office, knocked on the door, and entered
"And how is Zane reacting to your new job, Becca?" Marelva's question pulled me out of my thoughts, but it didn't cheer me up when I thought about my relationship with Zane, or what was left of it."Absolutely down," I told her. "We hardly ever talk anymore. He came home late, left for work early in the mornings, didn’t eat at home, nor did he sleep in our room any longer," I added sadly. "I didn’t think he would take this so seriously. It’s like I don’t exist to him now. I miss him so much, but I'm not sure how to fix this situation. I love my job, it's something that I've grown to feel is essential in my life and can't give up easily anymore, but losing Zane really hurts too." Tears were closer than laughter these days.What I told Marelva was absolutely true. I hadn't had a chance to talk to Zane since our argument. He ignored me as if I wasn't even in his house. He hadn't taken back the credit card that I left on the table. Now that I was working, I no longer needed it. I'd alread
Why did I feel like this was the worst decision I had ever made in my life?'Because it really is BAD!' Era growled angrily in my head. 'How do we go on without him? He is our mate, stupid human!'I expected this reaction from her. I thought living so comfortably in someone else's house had made that wolf of mine somewhat lazy. Maybe she was starting to adopt humans' bad traits, and materialism was becoming more important to her than self-esteem.'That is not the case, Becca,' she grumbled. 'You're trapped in self-neglect.' ‘You are afraid of your own feelings, in other words, you are a coward,' she continued.With a jerk, I stopped. Being insulted by your own wolf was a painful thing to deal with. Shouldn't my wolf always be on my side, supporting me in all my decisions? I mused.'Yeah, but not the stupid ones like this, idiot! You're now leaving your fine man prey to other women. That Margey must already be throwing herself at him. How stupid can you be?' Era raged on. Being called
Alpha Elyon was in a rage!His fury knew no bounds as he rampaged through the pack, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Becca had been missing for four days now, and no one had been able to track her down. Every time a patrol returned with zero results, his frustration grew. It annoyed him to no end, and he knew it wouldn't be long before he started killing.The Alpha was starting to show signs of insanity, and the pack members knew it. After the death of his mate, the damaged mate bond could have saved him from collapse because of his strong attraction to Becca. But now that even Becca had left and tried to reject him, his sanity couldn't handle it."A she-wolf! And I have invested millions of dollars in your training, clothing, and equipment," he snapped at his Beta, Jake, who came with more bad news. "You are worthless! You can't even track a woman. What kind of werewolves are you?!"He half-shifted, his fangs coming out as he stared at Beta Jake with bloodshot eyes."If I
"Oh, Becca, I thought I'd lost you," Zane murmured, his voice trembling with emotion."Never! I knew we would meet again, but I never imagined it would happen so soon and here,” Becca whispered, her voice breaking. "I missed you so much. How did you end up here, and where is our pup?"Becca clung to him out of sheer joy.“He’s with my father. I was on my way to Jerney and Alpha Artic, my friend. I encountered a roadblock, and the officers took me here for interrogation. They wanted to know where you are, suspecting that you were with me.”Zane grabbed her hand tightly. "We need to be careful," he stated. "Elyon won't stop looking for you. We have to stay one step ahead."After the initial bliss of their reunion, a sobering reality settled over Becca and Zane. The joy of finding each other after such a harrowing ordeal was palpable, but the danger that surrounded them was undeniable.Zane's expression turned serious as he recounted his experience. "Becca, those men who detained me, I h
For two days, Becca stayed in hiding, her heart twinged with every sound that reached her ears. The dense forest provided some shelter, but the constant fear of being discovered kept her on edge. She lay low beneath the thick canopy of trees, her wolf senses heightened, listening for any sign of danger.The first night was the hardest.As the moon rose high in the sky, Elyon's mournful howl echoed through the trees, sending shivers down her spine. The sound of his sorrowful cry pierced the silence, and Becca's heart ached. She could feel the pull of the mate bond, a reminder of the vow she had taken. Despite everything, a part of her felt his anguish, but she knew she couldn't turn back.Now that she was Luna, the mind link with the Moon Shine pack was also open. The sudden influx of voices was overwhelming, and she could hear the chaos and shouts of the pack members. The loss of their Luna was a hard blow, they all were near a breakdown.‘The Luna is missing! We must find her! Everyo
Becca swallowed hard, desperately trying to suppress the panic that was rising in her.She realized she had to fulfill her role, yet the situation felt overwhelmingly real. These ancient vows held deep and meaningful significance; it seemed sinful to misuse them for her own selfish purposes. But right now, she had no other choice left.“I do,” she said shakily, her voice barely above a whisper.“And do you, Alpha Elyon, promise to honor and protect your Luna, to lead with integrity and compassion, and to uphold the values of our pack?”“I do,” Elyon replied, his grip on Becca’s hand tightening. He stared at her blissfully, knowing there was no going back for her at this point. The vows were sacred, and even the Council would not be able to lift them.The Elder continued with the ceremonial rites, but Becca’s mind was elsewhere. She scanned the room, looking for any sign of Jonas or her parents. She needed to know that they were ready to execute their plan.Finally, the Elder concluded
The following day, Zane was a man on the edge.Desperation clawed at him at the thought that Becca was now bound to another Alpha. He was sure she didn’t approve of this, she loved only him and was already on her way back home. The image of her being forced into a life she didn't want haunted him relentlessly. Every fiber of his being screamed that he needed to act, that she might be in danger.He couldn't just sit back and wait for her to return. He had to do something. His mind raced with scenarios, each more troubling than the last. What if Elyon mistreated her? What if Becca was desperately trying to escape, waiting for him to come to her rescue? Zane's heart pounded in his chest as fear and worry threatened to overwhelm him.He paced his living room, running his fingers through his hair as he mulled over his next move. His usually sharp mind felt clouded with anxiety, but he forced himself to think clearly. The walls of the room appeared to close in on him, stifling him under the
Three faces turned towards Alpha Artic as he delivered his statement with complete conviction, condemning his fellow Alphas."Although I myself revere the mate bond, I firmly believe it must be completely mutual. It should never turn into a prison if it's not beneficial for both individuals involved."Jerney nodded with a serious expression. "Exactly, that's why the situation has escalated. The Council meeting was highly charged. Becca is currently at Moon Shine with her new mate, Elyon. Their Luna ceremony takes place tonight."Alpha Artic's eyes opened wide in surprise. "Elyon? How did this happen? Becca was supposed to be with Zane, not trapped in another bond."Jerney let out a deep sigh. "The Moon Goddess moves in mysterious ways. Becca and Elyon are second chance mates, yet the bond remains weak for Becca. Despite her rejection, Elyon is resolute in not accepting it, he’s determined to make her his Luna."Artic clenched his fists, the muscles in his jaw tensing. "This is insane.
The woman's body floated lifelessly in the water, gently rocked by the waves.On the yacht above, Luna Jael screamed in terror and called out to her mate for assistance. The man didn’t hesitate and dove into the water, swiftly swimming toward the unconscious woman. Upon reaching her, he pulled her onto a life raft and immediately began performing CPR. "Come on, breathe!" he yelled, as he rhythmically compressed her chest. His mate hurried over to them, tears streaming down her face and hands gripping her pregnant belly anxiously.As the minutes dragged on, feeling like an eternity, the lifeless woman coughed up water at last and began sputtering for air. The man let out a sigh of relief as he kept her head above water until they safely returned to the yacht."Why... why did you do this?" Jael stammered, her voice weak and trembling. "What were you thinking?"The man's eyes flared with anger."Your reckless actions could have cost you your life and put my mate and unborn pup in danger
Somewhere in the South...A striking couple walked hand in hand across the sandy beach towards the sea, carrying their surfboard under their arms.The woman looked up adoringly at the man, who gazed back at her with love. She had white-blonde hair, beautiful green eyes, and her tanned skin revealed that she spent a lot of time in the sun. Her stomach was slightly swollen, indicating she was a few months pregnant.The man was muscular with raven-black hair slicked back. A tattoo ran from his back over his shoulder to halfway down his chest. His facial features were sharply defined, and he exuded a high degree of authority, as expected of an Alpha, a man with heavy responsibilities.They were engrossed in conversation, only eyeing each other. The woman clearly enjoyed the man's full attention while he reserved all his attention for her. When they reached the shoreline, they let go of each other, smashed their board onto the waves, and skillfully waltzed over the sea.Neither of them not
As she waited for an answer, Becca paced the room, her mind racing.She couldn't let Elyon win. She had to find a way to break the bond, to protect her son and her future with Zane.Finally, her phone buzzed, and she quickly read the message from Jonas."Don't worry, we have a plan. Just go with him."Relief washed over her. She wasn't alone in this. She had allies, people who cared about her. She had to believe they could find a way out of this mess.Becca took a deep breath, her resolve hardening. She would find a way to break the bond and live on her own terms.She entered the walk-in closet and noticed it was full of clothes. As she inspected everything, she saw not only formal evening wear but also casual pieces, all designer and expensive. Elyon had prepared well for her arrival; he was sure he would have her back in the pack. Becca wondered if he had realized they were mates long before she had. She had been so focused on her baby and getting back to Zane that she had hardly no
