FAZER LOGINZARA“Zara!” Beta Derick’s voice boomed from behind me.I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at him.“Yes, Beta Derick?” I raised an eyebrow, acting unbothered.His strides were hurried as he approached and came to a stop in front of me. “You mentioned having evidence. What evidence do you have?”“Oh, you’ll have to wait with everyone else to find out. Hopefully, tonight. Or tomorrow morning at the latest. When would you prefer to lose your freedom, Beta?”His nose twitched, and the veins in his forehead and neck bulged. “Why are you doing this?”“Do you expect me to come back and remain quiet about everything you did? It took years, but I am finally getting justice, Beta Derick!”Venom coursed through my veins, and I was so close to exploding. But I couldn’t afford to lose control right now and sabotage my plans.Without another word, I continued towards my room. The absolute look of horror on his face was satisfying. Hopefully, he would fall headfirst into our trap.“Wha
ZARA“She left the pack, and no one ever saw her again,” the woman said.“Did the pack council make any attempt to find the missing pack member? Did Derick try to find her when he assumed the position of acting Alpha?” I asked, and they shook their heads.That gave me all the answers I needed. Normally, if a pack member went missing, it became the responsibility of the pack Alpha to work with the police to find them. But no attempt had been made to find this girl, and that told me Derick had gotten rid of her.His crimes were so sloppy that it disgusted me. Every piece of evidence pointed to him, yet none of the council members who knew the former Alpha had been murdered had managed to figure that out.“Thank you so much. You were really helpful tonight,” I told them both as I leaped to my feet.“It’s not a problem. I’m glad I was able to help. And if the former Alpha was truly murdered, I hope you find the culprit. The Alpha was such a nice man and didn’t deserve that,” he said in re
ZARA“A secret door?” I murmured as I watched the door slide inward.“The lock is broken. That means anyone who knows about this door could’ve easily gained access to you,” Xavier said as he stepped into the passage.“Derick. Do you think he had this installed so he could reach me whenever he wanted to?” I asked.“No, I don’t think so. There’s a fingerprint scanner on it, and it’s broken. My theory is that he tampered with it so he could gain access to you.” He walked back into the room and closed the door. “We need to either get rid of this or get you out of this room.”My father was reported to have been killed in his bathtub, and the CCTV outside his room didn’t show anyone going in. At first, I thought the CCTV footage had been hacked and edited. But what if the killer never went in through the front door? What if...“Derick used this passage when he killed my father,” I blurted out.“Yes. I suspect so too.” Xavier came to stand in front of me and placed a hand on my shoulder. “We
XAVIER“With everything set for the launch, I think this will be my final meeting with the research team. This meeting was supposed to be with Alpha Roman, but he’s still under the weather. I hope he gets well soon,” I told the research team. We had been in the conference room for over three hours, trying to finalize everything for the launch.“But will he be at the launch?” Ivy asked with a pout. “I feel so bad for him. What kind of illness could he have that he still hasn’t recovered?”“We don’t know if he’ll be at the launch yet, but I’ll confirm with him. If there’s nothing else, goodbye, everyone. And good job. Thank you all for making this a success,” I said, my voice carrying across the small conference room.“Thank you, Alpha,” their voices chorused.I picked up my tablet and headed toward the exit when I heard Daniel call out.“Alpha.”I stopped and turned to look at him.“I want you to give this to Alpha Zara, please,” he said, handing me a document. “It’s the project’s rese
ZARAMy legs felt as though they were dragging as I strode toward the room. I was walking really fast, but it didn’t seem fast enough. I couldn’t wait to get to Ghost and find out what he had discovered in Derick’s office.Finally, I reached the room, and the moment I entered, I locked the door behind me. The familiar scent of lavender filled my nostrils as I walked toward Ghost, who was standing in the middle of the room.“What did you find?” I asked.“I couldn’t really find anything…”“Oh, damn!” I slapped my palm against my forehead. And here I was, seriously hoping he had found something.“But I found some shredded papers in his bin and brought them here. They might be something important. They look like financial records of some sort,” he told me.“Where are they?” I asked, and he nodded toward the coffee table in the room.I hurried toward it and grabbed a fistful of shredded paper from the bag he had placed there. We weren’t sure the papers would lead to anything, but we had to
ZARA“Bothered?” He quickly adjusted his expression to feign excitement. “Why would I be bothered? If anything, I’m glad the pack is finally regaining its strength after so many years. I’m glad I found you to restore that strength.”“Really?” I tilted my head, studying him.“Yes, really, Alpha. Is there any reason you think I might be bothered?” Beta Derick asked.A small smile touched my lips. This man really thought he could play with my head.“No reason at all.” I shook my head.As I continued staring at him, an idea suddenly came to mind.“If that’s all, I’ll take my leave, then. I’m glad the council won’t bother me about taking over the Alpha position anymore. They’ve been on my neck about it,” he said, trying to sound uninterested.“Is that so?” I simply asked, and he nodded.“I couldn’t allow Damian’s legacy to go down the drain. He was my Alpha and best friend, and I couldn’t betray him like that.”He looked like a complete clown to me as he spoke. He had killed him, yet here
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
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
