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 “Earth to Geneva” Isaac snapped his fingers in front of me. “Sorry” I mumbled before dropping to the floor and crossing my legs“You are distracted today. What are you thinking about?” 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. “Nothing. Let's try that again” I moved to stand up but he grab my hand and pull me back“No. 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 minutes” he argued“If I tell you, you won't go to Zion?” I have never sat down to talk about anything serious with Isaac so telling him this ma
“Come in” 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.“Hey sweetheart, do you need anything?” 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 “Definitely not your kisses or hug” I laugh when he only squeezes me tighter instead of giving me a reply. “You need it sweetheart” I pull away from him to flick him on his forehead “Stop being a brat” I muse“Fine. What do you want? Is something wrong with you?” “No, I'm fine” I push past him to take a seat because somehow, I feel I need to sit to discuss this.“Something’s wrong?” He drags the chair beside me so it was now facing me before sitting on it. “I 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.“Did you see what direction she went in?” Jamie asks again and my annoyance level goes up to a maximum “No, Jamie. I was busy getting a plate of hot soup off my face” I snapped because this is the fourth time he was asking me the same question.“Sorry. 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 her” He pushes his hands through his hair, frustration evident in his rigid form.“What about Zion? Has he been told?” 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.“Yes, he’s on his way now” Jamie answers before throwing me one concerned look befo
“Do you think I was too hard on him? I admit I may have gone overboard but I couldn’t 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?” 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. “I don’t even know what I feel. If it’s guilt or anger but anger towards who? Me? Zion? The girl who tried to poison me?” I paused pacing and took a seat beside Emily. I was so frustrated and didn’t know what to do. Zion was hurting wherever he was and it was ripping me into two. I didn’t mean to but I didn’t want to apologize too. “You need to take a walk. Walk with me, come” Emily stood up from the bed and took my hand in hers.“Emily, this is not the time for a walk. I don’t 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.“Why are you hugging the Luna? She isn't your mummy” 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 tears“Why are you crying? I only asked you a question?” She was genuinely curious and didn't mean to hurt him.“What's your name?” I ask her instead when Elaine won't stop crying.“Mila. Why is he crying?”“Elaine 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?”“Yes, but she does so to all the kids. You don't” She was such a
It took a little over three hours to get today's training out of the way and my muscles burned like a bitch. Isaac had been reluctant to let me go, claiming I still needed a lot of work. I had begged him and was able to convince him that I wouldn't be able to get better in just one day if I was on the brink of death.I know I was getting a little better and soon, I'll be ploughing Isaac into the ground, I just need maybe a year to do that. When Isaac finally decided to let me go, I dragged myself achingly to the room hoping to sleep the pain off after a long shower but the day wasn't going the way I wanted at all.I found Lily and Emily waiting in front of my door. They claimed we haven't hung out together in a while and now they were both free, I couldn't escape it.Thankfully, they let me take a shower before dragging me off to Lily’s room. As soon as we entered their apartment, I snatched the blanket hanging from a chair and tucked myself in the coach and thankfully, they let me b
I stopped knocking on Zion’s door a long time ago and today was no different, not with something I had been itching to get my hands on behind these doors. I push the door open and my eyes immediately start to scan the room for the familiar yet foreign face of the young girl but she wasn't present. Instead, Zion, Jamie and Isaac were all staring at me with cautious gazes, not to mention the visible chip on their shoulders, something was wrong. “Where is she? Didn't you say you found her already?” My eyes were on Zion as I approached him. He was seated behind that annoying desk of his that made him look impenetrable which was what he was. “We did but you won't like what we found” I glance towards Jamie and Isaac but they avoided my eyes so I focused on Zion instead.“Go ahead and tell me. What did you find? Wasn't it the girl? Did you lie to me?” I asked all at once but it wasn't my fault. “We did find her but she isn't alive. Someone got to her before we did” Zion explained and my
I barely see Zion these days since the dungeon. He was avoiding me and it's not like I could blame him. I turned the other way the moment I see him and he had gotten the message except now I was the one slowly going crazy. I needed him and now I felt like a crack addict which was why I am on my way to his office right now. Some people tried to say hi to me but I paid them no attention. I had one goal in mind and that was my only focus. My heart was beating faster as Zion’s office came into focus. I was a little disoriented and the mate bond was choking me up. I knew it would probably be worse for Zion but he won't try to make me uncomfortable so he'll try to bear it alone.I push the door open, almost ripping it from its hinges. Zion was alone and he sat up with my entrance, a hitched brow and a ghost smirk on that annoying handsome face.He pushed his chair back and watched me approach him with fury in my eyes.I straddle his lap and his hands went around my waist instinctively. My
