LISA

Zayne took too long to answer my question.

I lifted my head slightly to look at him, trying to read his face, and that was when I saw it, the smirk. That slow, knowing smirk that made my stomach twist, and my heart beat faster at the same time.

“Bee and I were betrothed,” he finally said, with a calm voice. “But we couldn’t get married because I was already in love with Emily’s mother. We were never involved in any romantic relationship. Over the years, we’ve built a healthy friendship.”

He paused, watching me closely.

Was it weird that I wanted to ask him more questions about it? Because from the look of things, it didn’t feel as simple as he was making it sound. I could clearly see that Bee wanted something more than friendship. She had pulled too many stunts already, too many calculated moves to get me on the bad side.

My thoughts stopped when I felt Zayne’s hands on my shoulders.

He was massaging them gently, his thumbs pressing into the tense spots like he knew exactly where

  • The Alpha Who Stole My Christmas   CHAPTER 42

    ZAYNEI was finally here, far away from our world to hers.She was still unconscious, not ready to wake up yet. I stood there for a moment, watching her breathe, her lashes resting against her cheeks. I didn’t want to rush her back. I left her in the room and went downstairs to the kitchen to quickly grab an apple. This apartment always has a serene feel to it. Whenever I want to be far away from home, far away from the pack, from expectations and chaos, I always come here. One of my favourite properties, situated in the heart of the city, yet far away from everything that matters too much.I was taking a bite of the apple when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. It was my daughter.Me: How is my princess doing?Emily: I’m good, Dad. Where are you? And why isn’t Lisa in her room or anywhere either?Me: Let’s say she went somewhere to cool off her head. Don’t worry. I’m watching over her. I know how important she is to you. I’ll bring her back when I see her mood is much better.

    ZAYNEJust where could she be?That question kept drilling holes into my head as I paced the length of my room like a caged beast. Lisa had no sense of direction when she panicked, and right now, panic was exactly what she was drowning in. She could not survive out there for long, not in that state, with the Neon virus already eating at her sanity.“How did I miss this?” I growled, slamming my fist against the wall.The impact was brutal enough to make my wolf whimper inside me. He rarely spoke or interfered, but real pain always got his attention. The virus was progressing faster than expected, and one of its cruelest tricks was this, making its host see things that weren’t real, hear voices that fed on fear.I picked up the folded paper she had left behind, my fingers tightening around it. Before I could even process my next move, something sharp pierced through my blinds.An arrow. I yanked the note tied to it and read the message, my fist clenching with every word.She was roamin

    LISAI had exhausted all the silent prayers I could muster in my heart. Every single one of them.At this point, I knew it was her word against mine, and Bee had always carried more weight where Zayne was concerned. She always did.“She used foxglove leaves instead of lettuce in the sandwich,” Bee said calmly, her voice steady. “It was a mistake. I only fault her for being careless.”My ears rang.“You know, when I saw Lisa in the garden harvesting the leaves, I thought she had an injury and wanted to apply them to it,” she continued. “But I was wrong.”My head felt like it was splitting into two. Yes, I went to the garden. I went there to pick fresh lettuce because Emily always preferred it that way, fresh, straight from the soil. I remembered it clearly.I remembered tasting the lettuce I picked. I remembered chewing on it and being absolutely convinced that I had picked the right vegetable.Bee wasn’t done.She clapped her hands once, sharply, and a maid walked in, holding a transp

    BEEI waited in silence while Lucas worked on the charm, my fingers digging into my palms. The blood droplet I brought him sat in a small vial on the table, glowing faintly under the candlelight.Emily’s blood hadn’t been easy to get. Her wolf was strong, stronger than I expected, and if I weren’t a black witch, I would have been exposed the moment I pricked her skin. I told myself it was worth the risk. Everything I had done was for one purpose.Lucas finally lifted the vial, sniffed it once, then frowned.“I was clear,” he said calmly. “I said the blood of a powerful Alpha’s clan. This scent is faint.”“You’re wrong,” I snapped, stepping forward. “That blood is from Zee’s unborn grandchild. Name one Alpha stronger than him.”He laughed. Not loud, just a low, amused sound that made my skin crawl.I stared at him, confused, angry, and panicked.“You think strength passes so simply?” he asked. “The child carried more of the father’s line. Weak lineage. Potential, yes, but not dominance

    ZAYNEMy glass was filled again, and I slowly brought it to my lips, sipping the wine without tasting it. My wolf was restless, moving aggressively beneath my skin, but I kept my face calm. I couldn’t afford to show emotion. Not here. I had deliberately avoided looking at Lisa all evening, but when my eyes finally drifted in her direction, I cursed inwardly.Alpha Rok was staring at her.Not just staring, he was openly admiring her, his gaze lingering far too long. The way his eyes followed her movements made something dark twist in my chest. My fingers tightened around the glass.“Ask for another thing, Rok,” I said evenly, my voice was calm despite the storm inside me. “She isn’t of this clan. You heard my daughter clearly. Lisa is her best friend.”I sounded calm, composed, like this meant nothing to me. But inside, I wanted to drag him out of this room and remind him exactly whose territory he was standing on.Rok leaned back in his chair, unimpressed. “Is the Alpha of all Alphas
