With a prompt from Violet, I decided to freshen up before Lily arrived. For some reason unknown to me , I didn’t want to look so lesser than the beauty that was coming on my request. As if on cue, there was a knock on the door the moment I dropped my towel on the chair beside the bathroom door. I took a look at myself in the baggy pants and oversized t-shirt that still had the distinguished smell of Zion even though obvious effort was put into getting rid of it. He didn’t want me to know that the clothes were his, maybe because he thought I wouldn’t wear them and he would have been right if I had other options. I felt more at ease wearing his clothes but I didn’t dwell on it because I knew it was just the mate bond acting up. “Come In” I called out when I realised that I had yet to answer “It’s not like I can open the door from inside” I muttered sarcastically “We know you can’t open the door but we had to knock for respect. You are our Luna after all” Lily remarked as she st
I let out an exhausted breath but made no move to remove myself from Elena’s arms as we sat on the floor beside the bed. I was tired and I doubt I could stand on my feet if I tried. It was as if I unravelled everything and now there was nothing holding me together. “How do you feel now?” Lily asked after a long time, breaking me out from the trance I found myself stuck in. “I think I am” I felt so relieved after so long and it was all thanks to these two ladies who I don’t even know. I cleaned the invisible tear under my eyes and felt the bags that were there. They had grown bigger with my breakdown but I felt better and that topped everything now “I’m sorry about what happened earlier. I didn’t even realise that you had so much bottled up” Elena apologised from behind me but I shook my head in protest “Don’t. I can’t believe I am about to say this but none of it is your fault so I shouldn’t have taken it out on you” I told her “No, don’t try to do that. We were wrong. We
I hated that these people were slowly getting to me. I found myself considering what it would be to be the Luna of this pack that was so powerful. I was so close to accepting the idea but the constant reminder of what I’ve lost was what was stopping me. I needed to get my revenge. I had gotten enough bed rest now so all my wounds were fully healed and I now looked like the Geneva I was familiar with. I plan to go in search of Lily today so we can spend the day together. Now that I am allowed to leave this room, I was going to take advantage of it. Besides, I needed to know the structure of the pack if I was going to escape this place. I was planning to head out when there was a knock on the door. I didn’t need to ask who it was because his smell took over my senses and I had to stop myself from running to the door and yanking it open“Come in” I called out and walked further into the room so we could be as far apart as possible. I needed to make sure my head was clear so I could thin
“I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to mix it” Lily’s voice is full of amusement as she watches me try to whisk egg in a bowl “It’s so hilarious, I can’t even imagine how someone would whisk eggs like that” Elena was close to rolling in laughter but I just ignore the both of them and focus on the task that Emily gave me We were currently in the pack’s kitchen. I was on my bed, deep in thought when they barged into my room and dragged me down to the kitchen. I wasn’t even given the chance to even refuse the offer and even if I was there was no way I could, not after seeing the way Emily’s face lit up at my presence. “Heyy, I am doing the best I can. I’ve never cooked in my life okay. Papa and my brothers won’t let me near the kitchen. I was the only girl so I was well protected” I bragged with a smile as I remembered how chaotic the house would get anytime I attempted to cook. Ethan and Calum would act like the world was about to end. They would run to the kitchen and d
The pack house was very busy today. It was saturday which meant everyone was at home and it was pure chaos. Kids were running around, teenagers were lounging everywhere and the adults were cleaning and making small talks. A lot of the pack members had not seen me before so I was getting a lot of curious stares especially from the children and teenagers but no one bothered me which was a relief for me. I looked down at my plate and thought back to when I vowed not to have anything to do with this pack but here I was, eating the same meal I rejected. I was eating peacefully when a hand touched my hair gently, making me jump in shock. I turned to see Emily smiling down at me “Good Morning” I greeted her with a smile which she returned before taking a seat in front of me “How have you been dear?” She asked me “Fine, I guess. A lot better than yesterday” I replied and continue eating my mealIt was awkward for me to have a full conversation with her without Lily and Elena here so I
Third Person POVZion was pacing the room and it was starting to give Emily a headache. She felt bad for him and the situation he found himself in but there was nothing she could do to help him. She had to sit still and watch as her son and his mate suffered. “Calm down Zion. Nothing would come from pacing like this. Go and explain to her and see what she would say about it. Your concerns are valid” Emily advised and Zion paused his pacing to stare at him mom with serious eyes “Ma, you know what she would say. She would never allow it” he was frustrated and pissed.He had to travel miles away from his pack to another small pack who urgently needed his help. This was a request he could not turn down as it was the duty of much larger packs like his own to help smaller packs whenever they faced any difficulty.The problem was that he could not leave his mate unmarked. The thought of it made him tense with worry. His body and wolf would simply not allow it and now he had to tell Geneva
Geneva couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her since the last two days. She had been restless and couldn’t bring herself to eat anything or sit still for more than ten minutes. Deep down, she knew she was lying to herself and knew the exact reason why her body was reacting this way but she was not willing to accept it.She felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness that she couldn’t shake off no matter how hard she tried. She wanted to go out and talk to someone but she didn’t want to admit out loud that Zion’s absence affected her a great deal, way more than she would have liked.Moreover, the pack members, especially the males, had been avoiding her and she knew it had to do with a certain Alpha and it made her blood boil with rage. He didn’t have the right to protect her.She left her room and roamed around the pack house grounds aimlessly. She wanted to venture into the pack, away from the pack house but there was no one to ask as Elena and Lily had been quite busy and hadn’t com
Geneva was lounging under the tree she named Aimee. It was her favorite spot since Elena and Lily became too busy to hang out with her anymore. She hates to admit it but she missed their company. Now all she does is sit under Aimee all day and stare at the pack members as they went through their daily activities.The cool breeze was so soothing to her and her thoughts. The calm atmosphere in this part of the pack was what made her always spend her time here. When she was here, she could let her mind travel into her fondest memories and try to relive them She was so lost in thoughts that she didn’t notice the brunette walking towards her until she was tapped on the shoulders lightly.Startled, Geneva opened her eyes to see the beautiful brunette with golden brown eyes staring back at her. She was stunned for some seconds with how beautiful the girl looked. Deep down, she was green with envy at how beautiful all the Valis pack ladies were “Hello, sorry to startle you” her voice was jus
