Reene knew if she didn't step forward then there might be some trouble.So, with still trembling body, she wiggled herself free from Jaxon, brows pulled to a frown.“Will you both stop! I'm not a possession you can just claim, you know.”Zayne turned to her, but Jaxon kept his gaze locked on him.“I just got attacked, and you think it's smart to start an unnecessary fight on who should take me back like I'm some toy.” Her eyes were beginning to fill with tears.Reene knew she'd be very much embarrassed later on, but at the moment, she just didn't care.She'd almost been killed after all.“Both of you can fuck off.” With a sniff, she started towards anywhere, her body shocked at what just happened.What if no one had come to her rescue? What would be her story?As Reene walked, she secretly hoped either of them would follow.Because at least then, she won't be alone… Like her parents had.Zayne was about to follow when Jaxon moved in front of him, his expression unreadable, but cold.“
Zayne stood beside Dominic at the corner, both with hands behind them as they gazed ahead.“You found your mate.” Dominic's tone had its usual edge of coldness.One Zayne had gotten used to. “Yes. And how are things with Yita? Your mate?”He didn't answer, just went to the point. “You’re the alpha. I can’t believe you’d bring in a human mate.”His shoulders lifted in a shrug. “It’s the wolf.”“Then reject her. No pack member will be glad to see the one man they look up to coming with a human to decision-makings and all. You’re supposed to bring a Luna that’d strengthen the pack, not someone who’s never even shifted.”Zayne turned to his cousin with a frown. “I’m not rejecting her. Everyone knows what rejection can do, and right now, the last thing I want is that. She’s going to be the Luna, no matter what, so I’ll advise you to drop the topic.”Dominic stared ahead, face blank, before offering a half-nod. “Do what you want. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.”Then he turned and walked a
Zayne led Reene, who wouldn't stop her occasional sigh of regret, out of his place after grabbing a key from somewhere she had no idea of.Soon, they were both out and to her surprise, it had gotten darker outside.Woah, what time was it?The two moved to the garage where there were about six obviously-made-for-the-wealthy cars.Hr pressed a button on the key that led to the beeping of a red Bugatti in the distance.Just as he was about to head there, a male in dark blue sauntered towards them, head bowed, hands clasped in front of him.“Sorry to interrupt sir, but Mr Dominic is just outside the gate.” He announced, and Reene watched the slight surprise that fell on Zayne's face.“Let him in.”“We did sir, but he says he just wants to stop by and doesn't plan on staying long so he'd rather be outside.”“I'll be there in a minute.”“Okay sir.” With another bow, he turned then left.“Who's Dominic?” Reene asked.Zayne was already leaving the garage, which meant she just had to follow. “
Reene's feet stayed glued for a few seconds before they were snapped enough to move, but she had barely made it to the end of the hall when his voice came from behind.“You saw something you liked?”Her legs stopped just as heat rushed to her cheeks. “No!”Zayne stepped in front of her, now fully dressed in black sweatpants and dark blue polo shirt, a lazy smirk playing on his lips.“Then why are you blushing?”“I'm not blushing.” She snapped, her heart pounding in her ears as it took too much effort to not let her eyes fall to his lower waist.But heck, what she'd seen seemed unseeable.Why didn't she just stay in the room like a totally normal human. Why did she have to be snooping around?“Sure.” He held her gaze, enough to make her heart trip on her ribcage. “Next time though, you might want to knock. Or not.” He stepped forward, his tone dropping to a hoarse one, when he said. “I don't mind.”Reene's face turned the color of a tomato dipped in red paint as her forehead scrunched.
Reene stayed an extra hour at Anna’s place, their conversations mostly about Jaxon and Zayne. As they filled their bellies with cookies, Anna never missed a chance to tease her.She had to admit though, it was kind of fun.“I guess it’s time to take my leave.” After one last cookie, she rose. “This has been a nice chat.”“Ya bet it has.” Anna finally stood. “Let me walk ya out.”“Oh no, you don’t need to. Rest instead.”“Am okay, no big deal.”“It is. Just greet Adam for me and rest well. I’ll visit again. Bye.”“And hey, don’t forget to drop updates on your love life.” Anna winked. “Maybe give handsome Zayne a chance. Who knows, he might be a great kisser.”Reene cringed. “No thanks, I don’t want to kiss either ever again.”“Ya never know, hon.”She didn’t reply. “I’ll visit some other time. Bye.”“Bye.” Then she left.The obvious thing was to head back to her place where a driver would take her to the mansion. But she couldn’t bring herself to stay with Jaxon. Not with her thought
Carla smoothened her hair, hoping that the red strapless gown she had on, exposing a large amount of her cleavage would be sexy enough to attract Zayne.It better had, because if not, then she wasn't sure what would.She gave the door a knock.“Come in.” His totally hot tone called from inside.Well that gave her middles some tingling.Opening the door, she got in.Zayne was sitted on his desk, eyes locked on the work he did on the laptop.“Uh… Alpha Thornhart, can I have a word, please?” Carla kept her tone seductive.But he didn't even raise his head to at least get a peek of her looks.At least he offered a nod, which she took as a good sign.With that, she pranced over to the desk, hips swaying as she lowered herself to the chair, her boobs doing a light bounce.But that didn't even gain his attention.“I didn't want to tell this to Nika because we're friends and I don't want to make things weird, but…”When she trailed off, he finally turned to her, his expression plain.But hand
