JUST LIVING
Zara'S POV
My heart twisted with joy knowing that I would be spending the day with Drake. For about two days now, we have not shared a lot of time. I don't blame him, it was not as if he abandoned me but he had to perform his duty as the alpha and not just babysit me.
I understand that our time together would be a little less during the days due to his work, however, my heart is full, and I appreciate him for deciding to spend the whole morning with me and we would spend the first part of the day cooking. I asked Drake if we should cook for everyone and he liked the idea and agreed to help me.
The house was already coming to life even though it was still 5:25 am. The early risers were already start
NIGHTMARES DRAKE'S POV My body ached as if I had been working the whole day which I did not. I could hardly catch a good sleep as I kept having weird dreams of a war-torn pack. I could not help but wonder if it was the same pack Justin had asked me to rescue from their terrible Alpha, I had heard of the pack before but had not had any dealing with them before. Opening my eyes, I lay in bed for a few seconds, with my eyes focused on the ceiling briefly before moving to where Zara lay sleeping her back to me. I stood up minutes later and went to the bathroom to ease my bladder and brush my teeth. I hated being in this position where you are expected to do things right for everyone. Somehow I wish
THE ROGUE WOLFThe walk from the pack house to the forest was about forty-five minutes. We could have gone with one of my cars but we opted to walk instead. That way we would also observe the pack and check for any irregularities, meet the pack members also and hear any of their concerns and complaints.It took us (myself and my betas) almost two hours to reach the woods after much consultation with the people."I knew it would take forever." Justin moaned"I expected that, at least, we were able to know what was going on in the pack and the issues we might have missed." I reply "Now, we can focus on ensuring the wood is as safe as possible."We
MAKING PLANS FOR THE HUNTZara's POVI was so used to Drake being beside me on the bed, it was becoming a part of me. I almost panicked when I noticed he was not in bed when I woke up. I had to stop myself from such behavior. Even though I knew that he loved me, I did not want to become a leech to him, no one liked to be choked for attention.The pack house was alive with excitement, a great thing because I had decided to be more active and mix up with the pack members starting with those that reside in the pack house. It would not be easy as I was not used to making friends or being around people but since I left my former pack and also being with Drake, I was not as timid as I used to be.I shower and put on yoga pants and one of
I AM NOT ALONEZara'S POVI finally got around to being of use to the pack, first we decorated the staircase and even went to our suites to light it with a few decorations, Rose's idea not mine."To enhance the ambiance for good sex," Rose said and I tried not to turn red from embarrassment.Then we went to the hall to assist the other members of the pack working there, but they were done when we came in. Amber and Charlotte came to meet us as soon as we entered the hall."They were already through with the decorations when we arrived, but we helped arrange the chairs," Charlotte said and tugged at her larynx with her hands. "I swear." She said with muc
DANCE WITH ME DRAKE'S POV I considered just calling it a night and heading home. However, I knew that everyone else would be busy with the preparation for the festival. It was one of the times everyone looked forward to both old and young ones amongst us. So I changed my mind and instead of heading home, I decided to go to the Town Hall. I was pleasantly surprised to meet Zara there with Rose laughing and helping out. They had done a pleasant job and the whole hall looked splendid. Everyone and everything was in sync, it had always been my desire to have a pack that loved and tolerated each other and it seemed to be working. Rose and Kate had taken Zara under their wing, guiding and teaching her. It was pleasing to me becau
HUNTING TRIPDRAKE'S POVI stared around the town hall, it was already time for the festivities of the full moon. The hunting and running wild in the surrounding woods, and after the hunt, then comes the feasting.The meals were usually prepared by Diasy; she was one of the eldest she-wolves in our community. Unfortunately, she never mated, this was one of the reasons she took it upon herself to cater to the whole pack during a large feast like the full moon festival. According to her, it was her way of giving back and it made her feel a part of the community.Inhaling the crisp night air, I stood in the center of the forest waiting for my pack to gather. It was the first time I would go for a hunt with my mate Zara b
Zara'S POV Music filled the air, and some of the couples started dancing. I watched them dance from where I was seated beside Drake, the rhythm was so good that I swayed my body from the seat. I had never had so much fun in my life and being a part of the ceremony and playing a vital role as Luna was refreshing. Soon Mark and Kate made it to the dance followed by Justin and Rose. Even the single one's danced too and everyone exchanged partners on the dance floor. "I know you are tired, but this is your first feast with us and as their Luna. I want us to join them but I promise to cut the dancing short." Drake leaned over me as he spoke. I loved how his eyes changed colors, illuminating his desires for me.
FLASHBACKDRAKE'S POV"Why did you leave the hall in a hurry, Zara? Tell me the truth and nothing but the truth." I held both her hands as I spoke."Erm, I felt a type of way." She answered, without looking at me"What were you feeling." I wanted to be sure of her reasons before I speak about what Kate was implying."Well…I don't know." She gave a nervous laugh. "I….When I saw you dancing with the doctor I thought, I don't know….I felt jealous." She lifted her head and looked at me now. "I know I had no reason to worry but Sienna my wolf would not stay calm, that was why I left before she does something stupid."
