Her heart felt like it would stop any moment from now, if the pain doesn't stop soon, she would surely go insane. She clutched her hands together balling them in a fist.
"Arrrrrgggghhhhh!" she screamed in pure agony, the pain was just too much.
"Zane might be ruthless but he is so fragile, mere words or actions can break him, his ruthlessness is just a facade so that people won't get to see the broken boy inside," the moon goddess's voice rang in her ears."I know this because you are all my children, so I know each one of you and I know you will not forgive him easily for what he did but remember this child..." she paused a little."...If you take too long to forgive him, you would have yourself to blame""Besides, you only saw his ruthless side for a day, all the while that you have been with me has made him more fragile, you will understand what I mean when you get back"***Shirley was shocked to notice she was the only one Zane was calling for even when he was slowly losing consciousness. She was immobile until Amelia nudged her forward.She snapped her head to his face and noticed how pale he lo
"Nooo," she screamed.One of the moon goddess's words replayed in her head."I do not say you should accept him immediately, but if you draw out time just to forgive him, he would fall back into depression, he would blame himself and start to give up on life gradually and you know exactly what that means" the moon goddess had said"There is no point or joy in watching your mate fall into depression, but if you must pay him back for everything he did to you, then make him beg for your love, but make sure he knows he has been forgiven already," she had saidShirley knew she was right; there was nothing she would gain from purposely allowing Zane to wallow in guilt when she knew that he was acting the only way he how to, though it was brutal it wasn't entirely his fault,his father shaped him t
"Al..ph..a, I..I.." he stammered Zane slowly got off the bed and move towards James, he stretches his hand to him in form of a handshake "Let us go back to the way we are when we were still little, please" he still held his hand out Something similar to happiness flashed through James' eyes he ignored the outstretched hand and in a swift second, he pulled Zane into a bone-crushing hug "I am also sorry I neglected you when you were at your worse and needed my friendship the most, I was just scared of who we're becoming," James said with pain in his voice. He was finally getting back his childhood friend after what seems like forever. He always wished and hoped for a day like this daily and he was glad it came to pass. It couldn't have been possible if not for the Luna. He broke the hug and turn to Shirley "Thank you Luna" he
Shirley kept pacing in front of Zane's office, she could not muster up enough courage to go in and ask him the one question that is bothering her. She doesn't even know how to fashion the question."Just go in already, he is not going to bite" Amelia shook her head at Shirl, she could not hide the smile on her face"He will not answer me, I am sure of it, especially after the stunt I pulled recently" Shirl bit her nail in frustration, tears were starting to invade her eyes as she stared at the ground."How can you be sure when you have not asked him first" Amelia reminded"I just know it; did you see how Ace acted towards him the last time he was there? Plus, what Rosie said to him, do you think he would ever agree to go there again?" Shirley sighed sadly."That was when he was still an asshole, but now that he has changed, he will definitely agree," Amelia said with confidence b
Shirley and Zane walked back to the house quietly. They were comfortable in the silence, they were content which each other's presence that there was no need for words.The next morning Zane crept into Shirley's room, he took a moment to study her features. Her hair looked a little disheveled, seems like she had been running her fingers through her hair the entire night. After studying her for a moment, he opened the window blinds so that sunlight would enter.Shirley snapped her eyes open as she felt something bright enough to blind her at the moment on her face, she turns only to see it was the ray of light filtering in from the window."Good morning, your royal Majesty" she turned to find Zane staring right at her, his hand tucked into the pocket of his neatly ironed trousers. He looks so flawless and irresistible in the navy blue shirt, black shorts and adidas sneakers he was wearing.If possible
With that, he picked up her phone and dialed her brother's number.He picked up immediately "Hello Shirl", Zane's hoarse voice called from the other end of the line."It is not Shirley, it is Zane speaking" Zane replied calmly."Where is my sister? what have you done to her this time around? and why are you with her phone?" Ace fumed with anger.Zane took his time to breathe in and out to calm himself down because no one ever spoke to him that way before replying."Nothing, I did absolutely nothing to her"Though he was irritated and angry at the way Ace was speaking to him, he calmed himself down when he remembered he was doing this for the sake of his mate."How about you give the phone back to her so that I can speak to her to be sure she is safe?"Zane could sense the disbelief in Ace's voice."
More than seventeen malls have been raided but Amelia still was not satisfied with the dress she saw. She had this "idea" in mind for what she wanted but she was yet to find it."Let check that mall out, I am sure we would find what we are looking for there," she said walking toward another mall.I rolled my eyes at her, she has been saying the exact same thing for the past one hour and my legs were killing me already."Amelia, we are late already, do you think Zane will still want to go on this date with me," she asked incredulously."Make him wait and sweat darling, even if you take forever babe, he will still take you out" Amelia assured her."Okay, but this will be the last mall we are checking out, if you do not like the dress we will just grab one and have it done with okay? My legs are killing me already" Shirley smiled as Amelia pouted like a little girl who was denied ca
Once they settled inside the car, he mumbled the location to the driver and he took off immediately without a word. Halfway through the journey, Zane suddenly stopped the driver and got down."What are you doing Zane? Is this where we are stopping?" Shirley questioned, her eyes portraying confusion."Relax, he will take you to where we are to have our date, I just need to get something, I will meet you there in no time," Zane assured her before closing the door.He went over to the driver's side and knocked on the glass, the driver rolls down the window."Make sure you take her there safely, do you understand?" Zane said."Yes alpha," he answered.Zane watched as the car sped off before running into the forest to tidy up some things which he had prepared for their date.Shirley was so nervous and all through the ride; she was scared of ri
