LOGINZARAHerb-crusted rack of lamb with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. The delicious scent traveled through my senses and jolted me awake. I opened my eyes to see a tray of food sitting beside me on the bed, and beside it was Xavier, staring at me and waiting for me to wake up.I never lied when I said I could recognize that scent even in my sleep. "Did you make this?" I asked excitedly as I sat up. "I've missed it so much. The last time I had it, you were the one who made it for me. This is my favorite meal, and it tastes just like the way Grandma used to make it.""That's because I learned how to make it from her. I just decided to treat you like the queen that you are this morning."My heart melted. "Thank you so much."I moved closer to the meal. I hadn't realized how much I had slept hungry yesterday because I didn't have the appetite to eat earlier, and by the time I was ready for bed, I was already feeling worn out. I had simply gone to sleep.I finished everything
ZARAI was dressed in a shimmering emerald-green dress that Xavier had gotten for me, while Xavier was dressed in a black tuxedo, looking as dashing as ever. Within the six months since the merging vote had been cast for the members of the packs, the petition had been taken to the government, and it had been approved for the land to be given to both packs. As a result, the newly merged pack was named the Lunar Crown Pack.The pack was so big now. Houses had been built across the stretch of land that had once separated the two packs, and a bigger, newer pack house had also been built. That was where we were right now. Everything was flowing smoothly, and there was no immediate danger around us. I was at peace. I was at peace with him.Xavier and I held hands as we walked inside the newly formed Luna Crown Pack's main hall for the merging ceremony. Everyone was rejoicing, but the moment we stepped inside, everything went still, and they all turned to look at us. They parted ways for us
ZARAThe pack council finally decided to let the pack members decide whether they wanted the merge or not, so a vote was cast among the pack members, coordinated by the pack council.I just sat in my office, my heart beating fast against my chest as I waited for the result of the vote. Whatever the pack decided would determine the fate of both packs. Xavier's pack, on the other hand, was also voting at that very moment, which meant we were both waiting anxiously for the results.After two hours of waiting, the result was finally out, and Elder John brought it to me, folded inside a piece of paper. My heart was beating really fast. I slowly unfolded the paper to see what the results would be, and then I saw it.The majority had voted for the packs to be merged, with about a seventy percent margin.That meant most of the pack members wanted the merge.A wide smile spread across my lips, and happiness surged through me.Just then, I froze for a moment before picking up my phone to call X
ZARAThe following day, I was up early. I had scheduled a meeting with the council, so I got dressed, took my bag, and left for the Blood Moon Pack before the sun had even risen. By the time I reached the Blood Moon Pack, the sun was already slowly coming out, and the pack house was in full activity. The council members were waiting for me in the conference room.I walked inside and sat at the head of the table.“Good morning, everyone, and I sincerely apologize for missing our meeting yesterday. We were supposed to meet, but an emergency came up.”“Alpha, is it about the Hollow Circle?” one of the elders asked.I nodded.“Yes, it was about the Hollow Circle. They killed my mother, and now revenge has been taken.”“I’m so glad that justice has been served,” another elder said.“Thank you,” I replied.The elders looked at one another, seemingly curious about what I was going to say next.“There is something I want to discuss with you all, and it is a very sensitive topic. You don't hav
ZARA“Now, who are you?” Cynthia asked as she took a few steps closer to me.She suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening as she stared at me. I also looked at her in shock when I realized what was happening. I could hear every single thought running through her head.She could read my mind too.The realization was shocking.“You’re also a mind reader?” she asked, staring at me.Before I could answer, someone suddenly burst into the room, breathing heavily.“Cynthia! Cynthia!” the man called out in panic. “There are some people here. They came with several soldiers. I think we need to leave.”“No,” Cynthia replied calmly. “We can actually stay. We don’t have to leave.”“There are people—”“I said no. They are her people,” she nodded towards me, “they are not with the hollow circle.”She continued staring directly at me, as if she was trying to understand something about me. Silence settled between us for a moment before a small smile appeared on her lips.“You’re lucky with l
ZARA“Who are you? What do you need my help for?” I asked curiously.“You’ll know who I am when you arrive. We can't tell you what we need your help for right now. Not until you arrive,” she said from the other end of the line.Just then, I heard a little gasp from her. She sounded injured.“Do you need me to help you?” I asked immediately.She didn't say anything. After a few seconds, she finally replied, “Just come.”It was Celeste speaking. I knew it. Even though her voice sounded different. Old. Did she deliberately change her voice?“How am I going to get there? Or are you going to kidnap me again? Just like the last time?” “We are not going to kidnap you. You are just going to come with us. We will send a vehicle to meet you, and they will come and pick you up.”“Meet me at the front of Blackthorn Tower, where I was kidnapped the last time.” I said.“When?”“Whenever you're ready.”“Now?”“Fine.”I ended the call.Xavier shook his head. “No. You are not going. There's no way I'
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
