Zoe
I had never met someone so infuriating.
James’s hot and cold attitude was annoying the living crap out of me.
He was giving me mixed signals. Things would change from him being playful and teasing to him being rude and grumpy.
I almost thought he had a split personality syndrome….
Making a mental note to steer clear of him, I toured the mansion at his suggestion and I was in awe.
The whole mansion had a theme of white and aqua blue… the walls and floors were white then stuff like décor, curtains were aqua blue. There were several bedrooms and the third floor looked like an entertainment area for James.
There was a game room, a theatre with an L-shaped comfortable couch, a big screen and dim lighting, a gym and a pool room.
Yeah.. he actually built a pool inside the mansion.. though it was connected to a huge balcony that had sun loungers and a small table.
The first floor had a kitchen, a storage room,
Thank you for reading once again ❤️.
Zoe “I will have a margarita cocktail and some snacks,” I said to the waiter who was getting our orders. We were sitting in a VIP lounge. There was a huge round table in the middle with sofas around it. I was surprised that James had agreed to come. With how he was hell-bent on avoiding me, I thought he wouldn’t want to be within 1m radius of me. He looked hot with an all black out fit. Black jeans, with a black dress shirt that he had rolled up his muscular arms. I hadn’t seen him naked yet, but his chest must be breathtaking right? I gasped when I felt a pinch on my waist and I glared at the culprit. “You fell into a daze while staring at the sexy Alpha over there, I swear I saw you drool while eye-fucking him,” Tiffany whispered in my ears and I cringed. I stole a glance at him and got startled when his eyes locked with mine. Oh my, why is he looking at me like that? My heart pounded heavily against my chest, I almos
Zoe I woke up feeling groggy. My throat felt parched and I reached out to grab the glass of water on the side table. Taking a sip, I put the glass back then it hit me… where did the water come from? I jerked up my upper body into a sitting position and the white comforter fell off my chest it was strange but it had James’s scent on it. I picked it up and sniffed. Mmmmmmmm…...his scent was strong, more like he had slept here. Looking up I was taken aback by the dual fireplace opposite the bed. The other side seemed to have a sitting area with white couches. A styled rug was placed near the bed and the rest of the floor was tiled. This wasn’t my room. I gasped and cupped my mouth with the palm of my hand. Did I leave with a random dude last night? We ended up in his room and had a night of passion? A big portrait on the wall next to what I assumed was the bathroom caught my attention. James, looking like a Greek god was featuring
James A few days had passed and I tried my best to avoid Zoe. I even let the creep, Thomas follow her around since her father trusted him. It was cowardly of me to run away like this but taking her as a mate wasn’t an option. What if she was just using me to forget that Duncan guy? The name itself, left a bitter taste in my mouth. I slouched in my office chair suddenly feeling tired. A game or a swim would help me unwind and relieve the stress. Deciding to go for a late night swim. I got up after switching off and closing my laptop. Walking towards the door, I opened it and stepped outside. Quickly climbing the stairs heading to the third floor. Once there, I went straight to the pool room on the far end of the hallway. Opening the door, I entered the pool room but before I could go in further. I heard the sound of water splashing. Someone’s here. I went on high alert masking my aura as I moved forward b
Zoe I didn't get the chance to meet James so that I could accept his rejection. He was doing a great job avoiding me. I Heard from Lewis who I met when he was leaving James's office with some documents that he was working from the office at the pack house. Deciding to stop looking for the lost alpha, I recruited Tiffany into spending time with me at the indoor swimming pool. She was my guest so as a VIP guest I could invite my guest over right? Yeah, well, I would do what I want anyway.... We were sitting on the loungers on the balcony, clad in matching yellow sundresses, chatting away. "So can you tell me what's really going on between you and Alpha James?'' Tiffany asked with a raised brow as she stirred her mango juice with a straw. "C'mon, I always share stuff with you... it's not fair that you're holding out on me," she complained when I just shrugged. "There's nothing to share... I would tell you if there was something
James I was very determined to avoid Zoe after I found myself having 5 cold showers the night I met her in the indoor pool room. She was messing with my senses, I saw myself giving in to her slowly and if I wasn't careful, I would admit defeat soon. Not that it mattered anyway, I had been losing to her since the day I met her and discovered that she was my mate. But she had the Duncan guy in her heart. It hurt to know she was yearning for another man. Perhaps the love was too strong for her to still think and dream about him even with the mate bond between us. To protect myself, here I was in my office at the pack house just to avoid bumping into her accidentally back at the mansion. Tyler had been ignoring me lately. He was pissed that I was pushing away our mate. But what did he know? Just finding a new mate, he forgets all the pain we've been through due to those rejections and he's already wrapped around Zoe's finger. Indeed, he was an animal. 'I don't think there's anyth
Zoe The next day, I had woken up earlier than normal. My wolf and I couldn’t wait to kick Anna’s ass. Ok yeah, it was going to be a friendly match but how do you beat someone up in a friendly way? It doesn’t make any sense. Either way, there’d still be bruises or broken bones, even blood…. Nothing friendly about that. I only wanted to wipe that smug look off her face, what was there to be so smug about anyway? Because she had fucked the mighty Alpha, could that be considered an achievement? Typical of whores. ‘Why do I smell bitterness and jealousy?’ Chloe said out of the blue and I scoffed. Didn’t she say she would sleep for a week because she was sexually frustrated? Thinking of what happened yesterday, anger flared up inside of me. How dare James play mind games with me….. I had felt over the moon when he scooped me up into his arms and carried me out of the basement. His body was so warm, I couldn’t help but press myself fu
Zoe All Chloe saw was red and she wanted to rip Anna apart limb from limb. With a slight leap, I lunged at her aiming for her neck as she stood frozen, her eyes widening from shock and her heart was racing erratically. Scared now? Good. My wolf preyed on fear… I was ready to sink my canine teeth in her neck and rip her throat out when a figure stood in front of me in a flash and I sank my teeth into his neck instead. From the tingles and sparks, I knew it was James but he didn’t struggle. Instead he ran his hands behind Chloe’s ears and she purred. Seriously? “It’s okay, I’m here now..” he said soothingly. “Give back Zoe control, we are in public,” he whispered and she immediately obliged. I shifted back but my canines were still embedded in his neck, I retracted them and unconsciously licked the wound.. Fuck. The sudden rush of emotions I felt at the moment that obviously didn’t belong to
James It had been 7 hours since Zoe lost consciousness and she was yet to wake up. My wolf and I have been on edge since then. Venting my anger out on anyone I laid my eyes on. I was angry at myself for almost causing her death. Why did I let her have a friendly match with that snake? It was my fault… I thought Anna would at least try to be rational. But she clearly was too far gone in her ambitions to see the big picture. Having pack members fight with my guest would cause a rebellion. I would have challengers wanting to compete for the Alpha position. Not that I would lose, but it could dismantle the pack. A pack that was not united was bound to fall apart. I wonder where it all went wrong for Anna. She used to be a sweet innocent girl. Despite being an orphan, she always had a smile on her face. The five of us used to be best buddies. Lewis, Jericho, Dean, Anna and I. Until, because of an unfortunate incident, Dean,
