The Alpha King's Sweet little Addiction

ZORAI stood in front of my mate in the pack room, my heart slamming hard against my chest. Everything was moving so fast. It was the annual mate ceremony, where everyone at the age of eighteen gathered to find their fated mate. It was bustlier, and the hall filled than usual.At twenty-four and a late bloomer, I attend the ceremony every year in hopes of meeting my mate.I was prepared for another disappointment when my wolf suddenly purred. My eyes searched the room impatiently until they landed on him. Almost instantly, in the softest of whispers, I muttered, "mate."But that was impossible, the moon goddess must be playing some kind of joke on me because my new found mate, the man few meters across me is not only the heir to this pack but he was also mated to the daughter of the second most powerful Alpha.I gulped down as he beckoned for me to come forward. The entire room was silent as people made way for me.I stood in front of him, head bowed awaiting his response. There is

ZORA"I can't believe you are actually getting married." Courtney said with a smile.We both stared through the window overlooking the pool where Lucas and my twins were. I had moved in with Courtney six years ago after she saved me on the road, only to find out I was pregnant.Alpha Ryker ruined my life thrice, but I like to think of my babies as a blessing. They're the only perfect thing in my life.I've not been able to shift since I left, and neither have I felt my wolf. It was as if she disappeared after saving me. I met Lucas three years after I arrived at Courtney's restaurant. My kids are my everything and he didn't mind that I was a single mom."He said he wants to be father to my kids." I told Courtney, my head on her shoulder. "That's great!" She squealed, "The kids like him too, so that's a plus.""I don't know." I sighed, "I really don't know. ""Don't you love him? Doesn't he make you happy?" Courtney asked, her forehead creasing in worry."No, no. He's my dream man,

ZORAThen I froze. It was as if I was earlier possessed. I felt dread crawl up my spine."No.... no... noo." I muttered repeatedly.She's not dead, she can't just die.I grabbed her hands in mine, shaking them vigorously."Hey!!" I half yelled, cautious not to draw attention to myself. I slapped her hard across the face, "Wake up. Ma'am? Kindly wake up!! My life is hanging on a balance here."She didn't move.I placed my head on her chest to listen for her heartbeat, there was none.I shook her body hard again, "You have to wake up!!" I snapped at her, "You can't just die like that!!" There was no response.She really was dead, and no amount of shaking was going to bring her back.I scrambled away from her body in fear, clasping my hands over my mouth to stop myself from screaming. Ryker would never believe me. He would think I killed his mother.My situation just got worse!!If I was scared before, now I was terrified. My thoughts ran in a frenzy. No matter how much I thought

ZORA Oh crap!!I squinted my eyes at him.What was going on? Can he read my fvcking mind now?Does that mean I have no privacy to myself??What kind of game was the universe playing now?His hands around my neck tightened, cutting off air completely.White danced at the corner of my eyes instantly,"You are hurting me." I croaked out.His eyes darkened, as if my words somehow made him even more angrier. "I asked you a question. Did you just call me a fvcking retard?"I tried to speak but couldn't form the words..I could see black covering my eyes now, I'm going to pass out if he doesn't let go of me anytime, now"No." I said in my mind, "I wasn't talking to you."I got no reaction from him, or any sign that he heard me. What was going on?I weakly shook my head negatively instead."Sorry." I gasped out.He released me abruptly as if my skin burned him and he wore a look of disgust, "Get out! And the next time you barge into my office again without permission, I promise you, it'll b

ZORAThe soft click of the door woke me up. I sat up groggily to find Agatha sneering down at me.I rolled my eyes at her. " what now?""Get out," She said curtly.Without hesitation, I scurried to my feet and went in search of the kitchen first. I found it almost an hour later or rather the dining room. My mouth watered as I took in all the food set on the table. It was a buffet enough to feed twenty people. It wouldn't hurt if I ate some. Without second thoughts, I sat by the table and served myself a good amount of food, satiating my rumbling stomach. After I'd eaten to my satisfaction, I went back to my room, clueless as to what to do with my life, yet.I sat on my bed and out the window. The sun was really bright outside. I sat there till sun down, just staring, then I left the room, an idea in my mind.I went outside to study my environment and pay a visit to the current Luna, maybe she would talk sense into her mate and have him release me.I stopped the first maid I saw,
