Ezra came out of the room to go find Axel again after Nina had slept. He found himself thinking over and over again what she had said. His mind wouldn't just stop replaying those words. He didn't know what to do or how to react, but his heart sure did. The organ was beating faster than usual, and it was not calming down at all. He couldn't understand the warm fuzzy feeling that spread through him at her simple utterance. They were just words, but they felt too wholesome. Axel was waiting for him in his office, as they were not done discussing about Jake before being interrupted with news of the DNA test. Axel stared at him, his gaze narrowed as he watched him. "So? How did it go? Does she hate you now? I hope that is the case." "She does not." Ezra answered as he took his seat. Axel's eyes were focused on him, schooling his expression of course. "It is the opposite actually." He shook his head in disbelief, recalling her confession. But she was almost asleep when she said it anyway,
Nina lay on the bed, curled in a foatal position, her body covered under the sheets. She had cried a little after her confrontation with Sophie, and then seeing Ezra. Now different thoughts ran through her mind. She was very disappointed in Ezra's accusation, and for the fact that it was Sophie who told him that. Why would he believe her words when he very well knew that all she ever wants to do was being her down? Or was she overreacting? The situation was convincing anyway. The fact that she had her phone turned off, he couldn't reach her through the mindlink, and she left without telling him.She then heard the door open, and she heard footsteps walk in. She knew it was Ezra, so she closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Ezra walked to the bed and climbed onto it. He then faced her, staring at her closed eyelids for a while. "I know that you are not asleep baby." He stated. "And I am sorry for doubting you like that. I should have asked you first, and not even considered Sophie'
Nina lay her head on Ezra's arm, their body tangled under the sheets. She couldn't stop the smile that was on her lips, and neither could Ezra. She had seen him smile a lot, but this was the most she had seen of him."Do I make you happy?" She asked suddenly.Ezra was a little taken aback by that question. "Why do you ask me that?""Well, you have been smiling, and the question popped up in my head. So do I ?" She asked expectantly.Ezra chuckled. "You have been smiling as well.""You make me happy. I am not shy to admit it." She shrugged. "It is your turn now."He turned away from her. "I don't think 'shy' is any word to describe me.""You might not be shy with the things you do, but you are definitely shy when it comes to expressing how you feel. Not when you are horny though." They both laughed. "Now answer the damn question."He turned to her. "You will not rest until you hear me say it right?""Yes. I won't rest, and I won't let you rest. So answer me Ezra, do I make you happy? H
Michelle couldn't believe what was happening to her. She just found her mate? Again? She was very much aware that it happens, but it was very rare. She wanted to deny it, but she couldn't deny the voice in her head. That was her wolf speaking. She also couldn't deny the attraction. Oh no! She quickly turned on her heels and ran towards the pack house."Wait!" He called out to her, going after her. "Please wait!"But the more he called, the faster she ran. She felt so stupid. She was acting like a teenager, but she didn't know what to do. How could she handle having a mate?She soon got back to the pack house. She was walking in haste, and wasn't looking, so she collided on someone. She looked up to see that it was Axel. He looked at her in worry."Are you okay? Is anyone after you?" He was going to walk outside, perhaps to look for the person, but Michelle held him down."Don't worry child, I am fine. No one is after me.""You don't look fine to me. You seem to be in shock. Please tel
"What the Fuck?!!!" Ezra exclaimed before he even realized. He then remembered promising her not to freak out. But how was he to stay calm when something like this was happening? His mother found her mate again?"I thought you were already mated." Patrick said, making Michelle roll her eyes."There is something known as a 'second chance mate'. Sometimes the moon goddess can decide to bless a person with a second chance mate if their mate dies or in the case of rejection. It is very rare though, especially in the case of rejection. You should know that." She then focused on her food, sounding a little annoyed. No, she was acting like a teenager."How do you feel about it?" Nina then asked her."Is this supposed to be breakfast conversation? Look, I am very confused, and I don't know what to feel, alright?" She then stuffed food in her mouth."It's okay mom. You deserve to be happy too." Claire chimed in. "Just give yourself some time to think about it, and sort out for yourself what yo
In the late hours of the morning the next day, Lawrence found his way to the pack house. He was welcomed by a cheerful blonde lady, and he wondered if she was one of Michelle's children."Please come in. I will go get her." She ushered him in. "By the way, I am Claire."Lawrence nodded with a curt smile. "Thank you." He then made his way to the living room, while Claire went to fetch Michelle and the others.They didn't have breakfast yet, as Michelle had asked for them all to have breakfast together with him. She had also forgotten to inform him about the breakfast.Michelle went to meet him not long after. He stood up on seeing her, wearing his usual smile. He let his gaze sweep her entire form, holding a look of admiration. "You look lovely today."She stared down at herself. She did nothing extra to beautify herself. She was just on a long black gown that she found comfortable. She just shrugged. "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself."He walked to her and took her hand. His
Bella had never been this conflicted in her life. She had never gone against Ezra, and she didn't want to go against him. He had always been an elder brother figure to her, and also her Alpha. She also knew that this was a very important piece of information for him. On the other hand, Andrew was her mate, and they were supposed to build trust in each other if they want their relationship to work. There were already strains in the relationship because of the differences between their pack leaders. She should be trying to make it better, not worse."Are you okay, Bella?" Andrew asked her. He had noticed the change in her mood since he told her the truth about Nina. He wondered if he did the right thing by telling her. But she was his mate, and he should trust her.Bella nodded, and forced a smile at him. "I am just totally taken aback by the whole story. You shouldn't have to hide your emotions for that long, the both of you deserved better." She said to him. It was a half truth as she
Nina lay her head on Ezra's chest, while he gently stroked her hair, his fingers massaging her scalp at intervals. Ezra's thoughts were occupied with what he had learnt from Bella, and how to tell Nina. That was really a lot to take in. Alpha Noah truly went above and beyond to make sure she was not a threat to Andrew."What is on your mind Ezra? You have been thinking of something since you got here. Is anything the matter?" She asked, sensing that he was greatly disturbed.Ezra smiled at her perception. She could easily tell when he was bothered by something, even when he tried to hide it."You assume there is something on my mind because I am quiet?" He tried to divert the topic."No. I have seen you quiet a lot of times. I know the difference between when you choose to be silent, and when you are actually very bothered by something." She then turned her head to look at him. "So tell me what it is. Remember, no secrets." She pleaded."You are going to keep blackmailing me with this
