ZARA
“Zara, come out and play; we will protect you!” Zack says he and the other boys have just returned from training with daddy and uncle Mack. Grandma Rosa and I played piano today.
“Okay. Will Aiden be there?” I ask, and he nods. And with that, my brother Xander and uncle Mack’s adopted son pokes their head in.
“Come on, Zara, we will go outside and play Hide and Seek,” Aiden tells me.
I get up and run after the boys. I don’t see daddy at first before he grabs me and lifts me, laughing.
“DADDY.” I squealed. And Struggled to get down. But daddy laughed.
“Where’s my little princess going?”
“Play with the boys’ daddy.” Daddy look at the boys.
“Remember, look after Zara, and stay by the house.” He tells them.
“We will protect her dad.” Zack promise, and the other two nod in agreement.
“Good, have fun. Tonight we will all go to get ice cream.” He says and puts me down.
“Yaaay." We all yell on our way out.
“Liam, you spoil them.” I hear mom tell him.
“Liam, I know, my love. But I can’t help it.”
We play for hours. When we get tired, we sit on the grass. Aiden has stolen a pink rose from grandma’s garden and put it in my braided hair. I like Aiden. He is older than us, but he doesn’t think it is annoying when I bug him. He just laughs and hugs me.
-
We are on our way to get ice crème, and I am sitting on daddy’s shoulders while he holds mommy’s hand. Zach and Xander. He runs around playing warriors. Daddy laughs at them.
“Be careful, boys,” Mommy says.
“Let them, baby, as long they don’t hurt each other,” Daddy says to mommy, and she sighs.
When we get to the ice crème store, daddy gets me a BIG ice creme and plays with us on the way home.
“My tummy hurt a little from the big ice crème, but shhh… don’t tell mommy, I don’t want mommy to be angry at you,” I whisper to daddy when he tugs me into bed. And daddy chuckles.
“Mommy won’t be angry, and she loves daddy.” He whispers back. And I know she does. Mommy and daddy love each other sooooooo much.
Daddy tells me the story about the king that found a girl in the forest and saved her. And I fall asleep thinking maybe it’s the daddy that saved mommy.
-
It’s our birthday. Zack and I turn six years old. And daddy has said yes to having a BIG party outside. It had a jumping castle, water slides, and a carousel with horses. Daddy thinks it should have been wolves. But he couldn’t find that. And I didn’t want daddy to be sad. So I told him I love to sit on Shadow, his wolf, better anyway. That made daddy laugh.
We are outside, jumping in the castle, when Miranda pushes me, so I fall out. I hurt my knee and sniffled a little, and moved to sit by a tree. I know the other kids don’t like me much. I don’t know why because I was never mean to them. Aiden sees me and comes over to me.
“What’s wrong, Zara? It’s your birthday. You should be happy.” He tells me sweetly, sitting down next to me.
“Miranda pushed me off, and my knee hurt,” I tell him. He looks at my knee, then blows at it and kisses it.
“There you go. All better.” He says, and it was. Aiden is always so friendly to me. But he is older than me.
Then some strange man grabs me. And pushes Aiden away, so he falls, making me scream. Suddenly all the other kids run away, but my brothers and Aiden all run and kick and hit the man that is just laughing.
“Let me go!” I scream, but he holds me so tight it hurts. He kicks Xander, and I scream again. I see daddy, uncle Mack and mommy come to save us. A weird little woman comes up next to the man when it gets all foggy.
She says some strange words and sees my brothers and Aiden fly away. I cry out, not wanting anyone to hurt them. The man laughs, and then we get sucked into the air, and I get dizzy and fall asleep.
-
I sit up, gasping for air, looking around. It was a dream I have had almost every night for the past year. Not sure if it is a memory or just a dream.
*Chapter contains violence and abuse that can be triggering*ZARAI look at the clock, and it’s 5:30 in the morning, and I need to get up. It’s my job to make breakfast for master Kilian and Mistress Camille. I am not allowed to say their names. Slaves don’t do that, the Mistress says. I look at the calendar, and there are two days until I turn 17. Since I was a child, I was told my parents didn’t want me anymore and that they didn’t love me. So they gave me away.I get dressed in my old worn-out T-shirt and the skirt they make me wear. The door opens, and my guard Samson comes into my room. He smirks, and his eyes are almost black when he sees I am awake and I take a step back, gulping, knowing when he is like this, I won’t leave this room before he says so.“Good morning, Slave.” He always calls me a slave. Almost everyone does. He comes close to me, running a finger over my cheek, making me want to throw up, I hate when he touches me, so I cringe.“Now, now. Be a good Slave.” He te
ZARA Today is like every other day. Wake up cooking and cleaning. Thank god Samson let me be today, and there was no cleaning in the Master and Mistresses room. So after washing dishes after lunch, I was back in my room until I needed to cook dinner. I get nervous when I hear the lock turn, and it’s not time to cook yet. When the door opens, it is not Samson but another man I have never seen before. He looks around, and a flash of anger comes and goes in his eyes so fast that I am not sure it was there. “Zara, it really is you.” The man says, surprising me by saying my name. But I know better than to look up or answer. “My little girl. Thank goodness you are alive.” He continues, but I still don’t react. The man sinks down on his knees in front of me, slowly reaches out, and caresses my cheek. I slowly raise my head, looking into the man’s blue eyes. He seems strong even though he also looks old and somehow friendly. He takes my hand and looks at the bracelet I wear. I have worn t
ZACHI am changing into sweatpants when my door opens, and Xander comes in. He sees the bag on my bed and sighs. He knows what it means.“You going again?”“Yes"“But it’s your birthday in 2 days. You know mom will get sad.” He isn’t wrong, and I know that.“I need to do this, Xan,” I tell him.“You need to try to move on, brother. We all miss her. But we have to think about that she most likely isn’t alive.”“She is. I can feel it.” Xan looks at me, wanting to say something but just nods his head.“At least wait till you get your wolf Zack, for mom’s sake.” I sigh. But nod my head.“I will. I will just get the bag ready then.” Satisfied with my answer, he left my room.I sigh again because I know he is right. Mom would be deeply hurt if I wasn’t here for the birthday. And maybe it’s not a bad idea. With my wolf, I would get stronger and my senses better. But after that, I will go. I can’t stop looking for her. Many say she is dead, but I can feel it deep in my soul that she isn’t. I
ZACHThe day is finally here. I am turning eighteen and will get my wolf tonight. And tomorrow I will go look for Zara and bring her home, where she belongs.Walking downstairs this morning, I find everyone wishing me a happy birthday. Granny Rosa has made all my favorites for breakfast, and we sit down to eat together. In these 30 minutes, we smile and are somewhat happy, but we all still know someone is missing.“Tonight, we go out, and we will help you shift after your wolf has spoken to you,” Dad says, looking at me. I nod my head saying thank you.“We are so proud of you, Zach. You are a strong but kind young man.” Dad continues.“Thanks, dad. Thanks for always treating me as if I was your real son. Thank you for teaching me everything I know.” I tell him, but dad looks at me.“Zach and your sister will always be mine. Blood doesn’t decide who we choose to be in our family. And I chose to be in your and your sister’s life before you were even born. So I am your real dad, and I wi
ZARA When I woke up, the sun was rising, and Bryan are is already awake and waiting for me. We eat a bit of the leftovers from last night, and then he tells me to go undress and wash up in the river before I shift into Sierra's form. I do as I am told, and when I am shifted, we run. We have been running for a few hours when Bryan stops up, looking around the wolf to get in a defense position. Noises of someone getting closer reach us, and four big wolves come up to us, one emanating with a lot of power, even more than the master had. The biggest one, a brown wolf, suddenly shifts, and a big naked guy with dirty blonde hair comes into sight instead. “Who are you, and why are you tread passing on my land.” He asks. Before I know it, Bryan shifts and stands just as naked as the other guy. “My name is Bryan, and this is my granddaughter. We wish no harm and are just passing through on our way to The Royal Moon Pack.” I guess that must be the pack’s name where my parents are. “I see.”
ZARALeaving Bryan by his door, Alpha Chase showed me up to the top floor, opening a door into a big beautiful room. I look around the room, trying to avoid looking at the Alpha but feeling his burning gaze.“You can stay here. Feel free to take a warm bath, and I will get someone to come with some new clean clothes. I will come and get you when dinner is ready.” He tells me. I nod my head, still not looking at him.“Thank you, Alpha,” I say quietly.“You’re welcome. What’s your name?” he asks me.“My name is Zara,” I mumble, still not looking at him.“It’s a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Get some rest, Zara.” With those words, he leaves the room, closing the door.I look around and open a door that turns out to be a closet, so I close it again. Opening the other door, I find a big bathroom with a tub separated from the shower. In the cabinet, there are different soap towels and other things needed in a bathroom. Closing the door, I lock it, so I am sure I am alone, then I take
AIDENWe have been running for two days now, only taking breaks to drink water, so we stop to rest in a cave we found. Zack had gone out to catch something we could eat and said he wanted to see how good his wolf was at hunting. I didn’t pack out anything, as we will be sleeping in our wolf forms anyway. It’s safer that way. But I did find some wood for a fire.I feel Zeus pace in my head, and he wants to keep running, claiming something is pulling at him. He wasn’t disappointed when he discovered that Mel wasn’t our mate. He said he didn’t like her anyway and never understood how I could dip my cock into that bitch.To be honest, lately, I don’t understand it either, I mean, she is a good fuck, but that’s about it. She has become so whiny, and it annoys me like crazy. Other times she is rude, like the other morning in the kitchen. She knows how much the king and queen and the guys are suffering since Za
ZARA **Warning episode containing memories about abuse and rape.**We had been running the whole day after we early left Alpha Chase's pack. Grandpa wanted to put as much distance between the Alpha and us. When it gets dark, grandpa finds a safe place to sleep for the night. He found a small cave hidden behind a waterfall that ran into a small lake.We put our bags there, and while grandpa hunted for food, I found wood for the fire. I talked to Sierra a lot, and mostly I wanted to know if she knew about how I had lived when I was with the Master and mistress. She says she does because the moment we connected, my memories became hers, and she promised me she would never let it happen again.I also wondered about what grandpa had told Alpha Chase, that I have a mate waiting for me. I am not sure what to think about that. Maybe it was just a lie to make the Alpha stop his advances on me, and it did not help, though
