Zoey's POV"The lightning?" Nana asks and looks at me in horror as she just figured it out that yesterday I faced Tristan and that's why I was looking like crap."Zoey, look at me" she said in a commanding voice, even though her voice was calm and full of love, I knew that she won't let me escape without being sincere with her."Did I say the lightning?" I asked back, trying to change the subject but she stared at me with that serious face , giving me no chance to escape."What is going on between you and Tristan Mayer, Zoey. And I want the truth." she says visibly affected.What truth ,Nana? You already know what is going on between us. You have a sixth sense. I was never able to hide anything from you."Zoey Carter! Do you recognize me as your godmother?" Nana says almost growling at me."Tell me the truth!" and my poor Nana starts to shiver.Oh my goddess, I am going to put her in a grave sooner at this pace!"Nana, please, calm down" I say with teary eyes."I am sorry, I didn't in
I went to the pack's shop where I bought something new to wear. I am going to do as Nana said but I don't want to make her more sad than I already did because of my scoundrel mate.So I have no other option but to listen to her.Sincerely, I have no idea why Tristan asked me to come to the packhouse.Maybe he wants to punish me for telling Nicholas and Mason that we are mates, but difficult times call for extraordinary solutions.The only goal in this life is to save Nana. Nothing else counts.Now that she doesn't want to leave the Crescent Moon Pack, I need to follow her wish and make Tristan come around so he could choose me as his surrogate."Tilly!" I growl at my wolf. "Stop wagging your fucking tail! I can sense your stupid happiness. This is not going to end well.""It doesn't matter," Tilly tells me with a sick excitement. "At least , until the baby appears he will not push us away."And holy shit, I just died!If I will be his surrogate, I hope that he will not force me to sta
I enter Tristan's office and I can cut the tension in the air.He passes me and walks to his desk and I thought that he would take a seat, but he motioned me to come close.Oh goddess, give me strength to survive this day and I promise you that I'll never make such stupid plans again.I had a lot of good intentions ,but this is already too much!Help me goddess, and I will be your most submissive child you ever seen."You know that I don't like to repeat myself!" Tristan says in a commanding voice, that makes my heart skip a beat. If he wouldn't be so arrogant and cruel he would be so damned perfect, but he is a jerk.I am watching him directly into his eyes and while I am coming in his direction I answer back, "And until now, Alpha Mayer, you should know that I hate being forced."I take a seat on the visitor chair , right in front of him.I have no idea why he asked me to come here, but I am a little bit nervous.Not as nervous as I was when I left the house, because now I am more c
Tristan Mayer's POV"Do it, man!" Viggo growls in my mind, making me lose my focus.Since I started to flirt with the idea of making Zoey my surrogate he's acting like a desperate. How the hell am I going to handle this mess?It's been only one day since she made that grand entrance in my office, ruining my inner balance and here I am today waiting for her.This is not right at all. This is why I commanded her to stay away from me."Inner balance my ass!" I hear Viggo mocking me."You are like a walking dead for years, feeling nothing. Your so-called inner balance is something so damned discompassionately macabre, as if you are leading the pack without the slightest regard for our pack members' lives. Firstly, remember why the hell we need a pup." and I would want to contradict him, but here he is right.Everyone who knows me is describing me as a cruel and arrogant Alpha.So what? I have a history able to justify my actions.I lost everything in this life and I was forced to become a
Zoey’s POV.“Zoey?” Nana mindlinks me “Are you awake?” she asks me.I just stared at the ceiling .I didn't sleep at all last night. How was I supposed to do it after everything that happened recently?Last evening I ran out of the packhouse as if its walls were infected with leprosy, I would have done anything to teleport myself as far as possible from Tristan Mayer and his pack but as I was leaving the area a loud growl echoed from behind.Mason!I turned around and faced him, coming in my direction in military steps, ready to knock me down. I am so sick of him. In the last few years he acted like a stalker, and I feel his eyes checking on me wherever I go. He gives me a bad feeling and makes me feel insecure wherever he is around. I know that he hates me. I know that it was his father who found me in the woods with my dead family. Whatever is related to the Reynolds family gives me an unpleasant vibe.“What the hell do you want, Mason?” I asked him full of rage. He looks like crap
I practically hid myself since my last discussion with Nana. Everything it was needed for us to survive I bought it online so I won't face anyone. Tristan didn’t ask for my presence so I am fine. The thing is that I took pills to delay the heat, but now, If I agreed to be Tristan’s surrogate I can’t take them anymore because they are working like some birth control pills. The heat will hit me in all its glory, because that’s how our life is going on. You find your mate and one or two weeks later the heat appears.The thing is that I am not claimed, I am still a virgin and the moment the heat will come I need to hide myself from everyone or I will become a target for all the unmated males in our pack. I need to get pregnant soon or this will end badly.Nana is as horrified as I am and she looks at me with pity. The first cycle is spontaneous. You have no idea when it will come. We are just like the real wolves. Wolves go into heat once a year anytime between January to April and it onl
Tristan’s POV.“You should send someone to watch over Zoey,” Viggo tells me. He had me up all night yapping about Zoey’s safety, about her being alone in that remote location but I ignored him.“She might be frightened by this storm, man!” he tells me again. “You’ve heard Nana. She was afraid that Zoey would freak out about thunder and lightning.”Sincerely, I had no idea that she was so weak. With that loud mouth of her and that sassy attitude she looked like nothing can stand against her, and yet she poops in her pants because of a storm?“Fuck you, Tristan Mayer!” Viggo scolds me and seeing that I am not intending to look after Zoey he closes the mindlinks with me.And why should I look for her?In half an hour I will meet her at the hospital. She will come because she is so damned egger to take my money, so I enter the dressing room and grab a shirt and some black jeans. I also take a cardigan and wrap it around my shoulders, because the weather outside is still cold.I went down
Tristan’s POV.“I said that I don’t want to hear any excuses!” I command Mason. “If you are not able to execute a simple command, just tell me and I'm relieving you of your command!” and Mason almost pooped in his pants. He is like an open book right now.“Man, I will do it!” Nico steps in and motions to Mason to leave the office.“You know how he is, he will help us but this is Mason. Sometimes he is a dickhead but he will never disrespect your command.”“Why are we still talking, Nico?” I say and turn around pushing down the desk all my stuff and shocking Nico at the same time.“The warriors are already searching for her.” and I can’t look at him. “And I will search for her too, but I want to ask you something.” and before he could ask me what he wanted the door opens and Rosie steps in.“Is that true?” she asked me with sad eyes. “She left?”“She can’t be too far,” Nico explains to her. “Even if she ran last night. because of the rain she can’t leave our territory. We are in the m
