登入ZARAI lay on the hospital bed with a cannula connected to me as a drip was administered to neutralize the effects of the toxins. Xavier never left my side, his fingers linked with mine while he stared into my eyes as though he were staring into my soul as we made small talk.The door suddenly opened, and my eyes widened when I saw Grandpa walking inside, worry clouding his features.“Grandpa,” I called in shock as I sat up. I flicked my gaze at Xavier. “Did you tell him?”Xavier shook his head.“Then how did you know?” I flicked my gaze back at Grandpa.“Well, I made a few friends while I was here, and one of them might have snitched that you were admitted here,” he said worriedly as he came to stand beside me, holding my hand. “What happened?”“I didn’t want you to worry about me.” I blew out a breath. “I was poisoned.”“Poison?!” He dropped my hand, puzzled. “How... how? What happened?”“Arsenic. But it’s a good thing we figured it out before it was too late. The doctor said I’ll b
XAVIERMy mind wouldn’t stop buzzing around what Father had told me. I was confused, torn over the decision of whether to tell Zara before she found out about the agreement herself. I didn’t know what to do, and it frustrated me almost as much as failing to find the person who had been after her life.“What did he say?” Zara asked eagerly as she leapt up from the edge of the bed where she had been sitting and approached me.“He didn’t send her,” I sighed exasperatedly.“Then who did?” Her eyes filled with wonder.“I don’t know.” I raked my fingers through my hair, pacing up and down the room, my mind seriously bothered by the new information I had heard.“Are you okay?” She grabbed my arm, forcing me to stop.I sucked in a sharp breath through my teeth as I turned to look at her.Without uttering a word, I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightly. I was already so attached to her, and it was too late to stop now. I never wanted her out of my sight. I wasn’t ready for whatever d
XAVIERI found him in his office, working on a document.“Xavier. I heard...” He lifted his head when I walked in and started to speak, but I cut him off.“Where is she?” I growled, my boots hitting harshly against the marble floor.“Where is who?” He narrowed his eyes, faking confusion.“Oh, don’t try to play dumb. You wanted her out the moment you realized I married her. But I didn’t know you would go to the heartless extent of achieving that by having her killed!” I slammed my palm on the desk, the items on it bouncing as I leaned in, my eyes holding just the right amount of menace as I growled lowly, “Where is your messenger?”“What messenger?” he asked, still feigning confusion.“Since you have decided to pretend you’ve forgotten. Sarah. Is that even her real name? The one you asked to slowly poison Zara with orange juice that contains arsenic.”“Zara was poisoned?” His eyes widened.“Here we go again.” I pushed away from the table, bringing my hands together in a mocking clap. “
XAVIERThe moment the doctor mentioned arsenic, my mind went straight to the maid and the orange juice. Zara had started the fainting episodes before she even went to the Blood Moon Pack, and the effects of arsenic took time to show, so she couldn’t have been poisoned at the Blood Moon Pack.She was poisoned here. In this pack. By one of its members. And that was why the orange juice was my strongest guess.“How long have you been taking the orange juice?” I quickly asked Zara.“I don’t know.” Her eyes narrowed with confusion. “Since I came to this pack. Sarah made it for me, and I liked it and kept asking for more. Do you suspect the arsenic poisoning came from the orange juice?”“Do you accept anything else from anyone?” I asked, and she shook her head, further confirming my suspicion that the arsenic was from the orange juice.“Sarah, right?” I asked and didn’t wait for a response as I stormed out of the office, heading to the kitchen where I suspected she would be right now, makin
ZARAThe man had already left the café, so I followed suit, looking from left to right outside the café in a desperate search for him, but he was nowhere to be found.“What is going on? What or who are you looking for?” Xavier, who had followed behind me, asked worriedly.“A man,” I breathed hard. “He just left the café now, but I can’t find him. I need to find him.”“Who is he, and why are you looking for him?”Time was of the essence. Every second spent answering Xavier’s questions reduced my chances of finding him. So, I quickly jetted down the street, looking around the block to see if he had turned a corner, but he still wasn’t anywhere to be found. How could he have disappeared just like that?“Zara!” Xavier called sternly, grabbing my arm and forcing me to stop while I looked around frantically. “You have to tell me what is going on.”I breathed heavily, but I took a few breaths to calm myself. “I just saw someone. He looked like my father, the former Alpha of the Blood Moon Pa
ZARAA middle-aged woman with greying black hair jumped out of the car, her eyes filled with venomous ferocity as she stormed towards the back to see the damage done to her car. The rear bumper was partially detached, hanging loosely from the car. “My car!” she screeched, her outrage evident in her voice. “My car has been destroyed! Get down and come and see the damage you have done. You must pay me. All these rich people, driving like blind bats!”She stormed towards our car, knocking on the window while trying to peer inside through the tinted glass.Xavier wound down the window, and the moment she saw who was behind the wheel, she froze.“Alpha... Alpha... Alpha...” she stammered, and I watched in real time as her rage transformed into shock.“I apologize for the damage done. Please contact me, and I’ll pay the full price for the repairs,” Xavier said apologetically as he handed her his card.She hesitated but took it anyway.“Alright. I will contact you. But Alpha, please, you mi
ZARAA hard frown immediately masked the stranger's face before his lips curved into a smile."You want me to fuck you," he repeated in a thick, sultry voice that went straight to my core. His burning gaze on me made my skin heat up."Yes," I murmured, breathing heavily.I was so done being the inn
ZARAMy fingers tightened around the steering wheel until my knuckles ached. I sat frozen inside my car, my heart was beating erratically against my chest. Across the street, in the doorway of a strange apartment, stood my fiancé’s secretary, Bianca, wearing nothing but a red lingerie.And behind h
ZARAMy fingers trembled nervously as I found a place to sit at the end of the table. Ryan had mentioned that Uncle Xavier owned a pharmaceutical company, but he never told me which one. My ultimate goal was to stay as far away from him as possible, but the universe seemed to have a twisted sense o
ZARAI blinked, my heart thundering against my chest.My entire body was consumed by the desperate need to be fucked by him. But he was Ryan’s uncle, and crossing that line would be taboo."Your lips... they're like ripe cherries. I've always longed to kiss them," he murmured as he ran his thumb ac
