LOGINZARA“Xavier…” I called, rubbing the stinging spot on my neck. I could feel it beneath my fingertips, but I refused to believe it was actually what I thought it was.His eyes snapped open, and the moment they met mine, he quickly sat up and inched closer to me.He pressed the back of his hand against my neck to check my temperature, worry etched across his features.“Are you okay? How do you feel now? Do you still feel hot?” The questions tumbled out of his mouth.“I’m fine. I feel better, but…” My fingers continued to trace the mark on my neck. “What is this? What happened?”A low groan escaped me as I slowly climbed out of bed, my feet meeting the cold floor as I walked toward the mirror. I was naked, and there, on my neck, was indeed a mate mark. It was still healing, but it already looked beautiful.Xavier came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pressed a gentle kiss to my neck.“Hey, I’m so sorry. But when I found out that you might never wake up again unless y
XAVIERThe air conditioner was set to its lowest temperature, the lights were dimmed, and the door was locked.Zara lay on the bed while I sat beside her.“I’m sorry, love. I hope you’ll forgive me when you wake up and realize that I’ve marked you. I’m only doing this to save your life,” I murmured before leaning in and sinking my fangs into the spot between her neck and shoulder. As I withdrew my fangs, blood trickled down her neck. Without hesitation, I leaned in and licked it off with my tongue.Then I lay beside her, hoping she would wake up soon. The banging on the door wouldn’t stop, and neither would the incessant ringing of my phone and Zara’s.“Alpha Xavier! What is happening in there? You promised to give us an explanation and asked us to trust you. But you’ve been locked in there with her without telling us anything. Please, you need to say something! Anything! Or open the door and let us take her back to the hospital, where she can receive proper treatment!” Mia yelled as
XAVIERZara was burning up, and I was terribly worried about her. She looked pale, her eyelids drooping as though she was about to pass out.“I need to get her to the hospital now,” I quickly told the others in the room as I scooped her into my arms and rushed toward the door.“No. I’ll be...” Zara started to say, but her voice trailed off, and her eyes fell shut.I had seen this coming. She had fainted. My heart pounded hard against my chest as I rushed toward the car and placed her in the back seat before jumping into the driver’s seat and speeding off toward the hospital.“Get Dr. Charles now!” I instructed the nurses who approached me in a panic.The doctor arrived promptly, meeting me in the room where I had taken her. Dr. Charles immediately began attending to her, checking her vitals before anything else.“Her temperature is abnormally high.” I could see the panic in his eyes, and that made me even more worried.“Do anything you can to save her. I swear, if anything happens to
ZARA“Yes. Yes,” I blurted out quickly.“Oh, that’s nice, then. You’ve come to the right place.” She beamed as she turned around and walked toward the racks of dresses in the room.Within two hours, we were done at the boutique and returned to Moonridge Pack, where I would be spending the night. The wedding would be a very small, intimate ceremony held inside our room at Moonridge Pack because we didn’t want to raise eyebrows. No one knew that our relationship had started out as a fake one.Morning came, and I was awakened by a sweet sensation between my legs. Xavier made sloppy sounds while he sucked and licked my pussy. I moaned loudly, grabbing his hair tightly as the pleasure became overwhelming. After a while, my legs trembled as I reached my climax.“Good morning, Sunshine.” Xavier grinned as he lifted his head, his eyes meeting mine. “How was your night?”His hair was disheveled, and his lips were fucking wet and hot. I could feel myself getting aroused again at the mere sight
ZARAI paid Monica a visit at the detention facility, where she was being held pending trial.We sat across from each other in the visitation room, our venomous gazes locked on one another.“Did you really think Xavier would’ve chosen you if you had succeeded in murdering me?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest as I leaned back in my chair.Her face twisted into an even deeper frown. “You bitch! Do you think you’re better than me just because you’re an Elysian Healer? To me, you’re nothing, and you deserve to die for taking my man away from me!”My brows furrowed. It was unbelievable that she was still obsessing over Xavier when that very obsession had landed her in this situation.My nose twitched. “You’ve refused to tell the police who you were working with.”“The only other person I worked with exposed us both,” she said through gritted teeth. “And even if I were working with anyone else, I wouldn’t tell you or anyone. What are you doing here?”I planted my elbow on the table
ZARAHope and relief flooded my chest when I saw Xavier. Every vein in his body stood out visibly, and he looked ready to kill.Monica rolled to the side, blood gushing from the wounds Xavier had inflicted on her.“Please untie him,” I pleaded weakly, my eyes fixed on Grandpa.“Zara.” Xavier’s eyes were filled with worry as he rushed over to untie me.Adrian hurried toward Grandpa and untied him.The moment Xavier freed me, I leapt to my feet, but my eyes rolled back in my head. Before I could understand what was happening, my legs gave way beneath me. Xavier caught me in his arms just before darkness swallowed me.The next time I opened my eyes, I was lying on a soft bed, Xavier’s familiar scent of pine, musk, and rain filling my nostrils. My head rested on his lap.I shifted slightly against him. “Xavier.”“Oh, thank goodness. You’re awake,” he breathed in relief.“My grandpa. Where is he? Is he okay?” I murmured, trying to look up at him. But a sharp headache shot through my head,
ZARAI blinked repeatedly, unable to believe what was happening.The stranger I had met at the bar. The one I had unashamedly asked to fuck me.Was Ryan’s uncle?Oh, Lord. The ground should please open up and swallow me whole.Uncle Xavier had been away from town for a long time, which was why I di
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
