My eyes flies open and I shoot upwards in bed. The first thing I notice is I'm naked but the covers which were up to my neck slides down slowly and pool around my waist leaving me exposed. I grab the sheets quickly and wrap them around my chest. My eyes dance lazily around the room but there was no sight of Zion. Memories of last night rushes to my heat and my face heats up as the intimate moments replays in my head. We've completed the bond now and I can feel it buzzing through my entire being.I can feel Zion as if he were on me. It feels like we are one person. I was aware of the shower running in the bathroom and my body tingle with awareness. He is still here. I thought he was going to leave after last night but he didn't.âYou are awakeâ Zionâs voice brings me out of my thoughts and I look up to see him coming out from the bathroom. He had a dark blue robe wrapped around his large frame. His wet hair fell to his face almost covering his eyes. I remember clutching his hair so ti
I found Emily and the girls not long a couple of minutes after Zion left. The moment I left my room, I could see the surprise on the pack membersâ faces which later morphed into wide grins as they realized my scent had changed.âYou are glowingâ Elene squealed playfully when I walked into the roomâThat's what a completed mate bond doesâ Lily said with a smileâSheâll also feel more calm now. Am I lying?â Emily asked softly with a warm smile when I took a seat beside them âI don't knowâ I laughed âZion asked me yesterday if there was anything he could do for you and I told him to complete the mate bond. I didn't actually think you would allow it. I'm happy for you Genny, you deserve to find your own happinessâ A retort was on the edge of my tongue but I bit down on my lips to stop it.âI bet the entire pack will be pleasantly surprised when they smell your new scentâ Lily exclaimed excitedly âThey already did babe. I passed a lot of them coming here and I bet the news is already ov
I've been falling asleep in Zionâs arms way more often than I would have liked not that I was complaining. He came to my room every night after his long day and I always open my arms for him to fall into. I would hold him with his head on my chest and we'll both fall asleep immediately or after doing some extra night activities that will leave me sated and in bliss. We usually woke up together or me before we went after our day but today was different.I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night a little disoriented. I looked around confused, wondering why I was awake. I clean my eyes with the back of my palms to wipe the blurriness from the sleep to look around the room.I tried to think if it was a nightmare that startled me awake but something from the corner of my eye caught my attention. Zionâs side of the bed was empty. I touched the indented area and it was still very warm which meant, he just got up. I listened to see if he was in the bathroom but he wasn't and my body was o
I've been watching Zion now since that night when I followed him into the forest. Even on nights we don't sleep together, I wake up and stand by my window until I see him leaving. I've thought about it but I can't come up with a good plan on how to go past the guards âEarth to Genevaâ Isaac snapped his fingers in front of me. âSorryâ I mumbled before dropping to the floor and crossing my legsâYou are distracted today. What are you thinking about?â Isaac asks, taking a seat beside me on the floorWe were supposed to be training but I've been distracted all morning and now he was frustrated with my lack of concentration. âNothing. Let's try that againâ I moved to stand up but he grab my hand and pull me backâNo. At least not until you tell me what's on your mind. It didn't look like nothing. I've dropped you seven times in less than thirty minutesâ he arguedâIf I tell you, you won't go to Zion?â I have never sat down to talk about anything serious with Isaac so telling him this ma
âCome inâ Zion called from the other side of the door and I push it open. I decided to take their advice and confront him myself. This was risky because he might end up not telling me and move whatever he was hiding before I could find out but I could no longer act as though I didn't care because curiosity was killing me.âHey sweetheart, do you need anything?â Zion stands up from his seat and walks around the table to place a kiss on my lips and forehead before drawing me into his arms âDefinitely not your kisses or hugâ I laugh when he only squeezes me tighter instead of giving me a reply. âYou need it sweetheartâ I pull away from him to flick him on his forehead âStop being a bratâ I museâFine. What do you want? Is something wrong with you?â âNo, I'm fineâ I push past him to take a seat because somehow, I feel I need to sit to discuss this.âSomethingâs wrong?â He drags the chair beside me so it was now facing me before sitting on it. âI don't know what to think so I'm askin
My head is aching and the people that keep coming in and out of my room were not helping either. Emily sat beside me, wrapping me in her embrace while the pack warriors kept sniffing all over my room as if a miraculous answer or the girl would pop out from thin air.âDid you see what direction she went in?â Jamie asks again and my annoyance level goes up to a maximum âNo, Jamie. I was busy getting a plate of hot soup off my faceâ I snapped because this is the fourth time he was asking me the same question.âSorry. I'm just frustrated and angry. There are no traces, not even a small one and I doubt she is a member of the pack if Emily can't recognise herâ He pushes his hands through his hair, frustration evident in his rigid form.âWhat about Zion? Has he been told?â Emily asks Jamie while I lean more into her arms. She tighten her hold around me and used her free arms to brush my hair to calm me down.âYes, heâs on his way nowâ Jamie answers before throwing me one concerned look befo
âDo you think I was too hard on him? I admit I may have gone overboard but I couldnât control myself. We had a fight earlier and then the incident happened. Everything was so overwhelming and I took it out on him when he was just trying to help. But it was also his fault, he is keeping secrets from me, what did he expect? Am I wrong?â Emily sat on the chair with a wide smile on her face as she listened to me rant on and on about my feelings without interrupting which I was more than grateful for. âI donât even know what I feel. If itâs guilt or anger but anger towards who? Me? Zion? The girl who tried to poison me?â I paused pacing and took a seat beside Emily. I was so frustrated and didnât know what to do. Zion was hurting wherever he was and it was ripping me into two. I didnât mean to but I didnât want to apologize too. âYou need to take a walk. Walk with me, comeâ Emily stood up from the bed and took my hand in hers.âEmily, this is not the time for a walk. I donât feel like
I open my eyes to see a little girl. She was squatting and peering at me with curiosity. I was about to sit up when I felt something heavy on my chest. I looked down a little surprised to see Elaine still on my lap and he wasn't asleep anymore. I sat up and adjusted him properly since the little guy didn't seem eager to get off me. I turn my attention back to the little girl whose attention was now on Elaine.âWhy are you hugging the Luna? She isn't your mummyâ I don't think she meant to be rude but the little man took it personally and glared at her real hard before bursting into tearsâWhy are you crying? I only asked you a question?â She was genuinely curious and didn't mean to hurt him.âWhat's your name?â I ask her instead when Elaine won't stop crying.âMila. Why is he crying?ââElaine is a soft boy so he cries easily. It's okay to hug me too. I don't need to be his mom to hold him. Don't you hug Luna Emily too?ââYes, but she does so to all the kids. You don'tâ She was such a
