"Stop staring at the ladies." I said, unable to control my jealousy anymore. Although I was enjoying the beautiful buildings we walked past, I couldn't pretend that I didn't see my mate, staring at the ladies walking past."I'm not allowed to stare at the ladies nor am I allowed to admire you, so what should I do then?" He chuckled but I maintained my straight face."I don't know, look at the skies maybe." I retorted."It's not like I'm complaining about the guys gawking at you too though." He mumbled but I could pick the jealousy hinting in his tone. I shot him a brief smile."That's what you get when you have a lady like me as your mate.""It's not like you're that pretty though." He teased and I glared. He laughed and all I could do was secretly admire his laughter. The joy blooming in his eyes. I quickly shook those thoughts off and walked away from him briskly."That's what you get for punishing me." He teased again as he joined my side again. I rolled my eyes but deep down I want

"Green!""Green!" Martha pitched behind me as I stormed into my room."Martha leave!" I ordered, turning sharply in her direction."My goodness!" Her mouth went agape. "You've been marked. He marked you." She mumbled and in a strange way my anger subsided. I sat on the edge of my bed and she joined me too."Call Lilith.""For what?""To help remove this pathetic mark of course." I blurted."Lilith already has too much on her hands to handle as the new Regent. Calling her here is only going to be a burden."So I should be roaming about with this mark huh." I toned harshly and she heaved a sigh."Yesterday was our heat period." I started on a solemn note, my mind gradually reliving the whole incident again."We went out, had some little chit chat, met his friends and then," I paused, trying to muster enough strength."We lost control, and we had sex." I paused again. "I asked him to mark me and now I'm regretting it. Because of my lust, I lost my senses and made this rash decision."I si

In the end, I was deceiving myself. Both of us regretted it or better said, I mostly did. And as usual, she landed me in prison. This time for a week but here I was in my room again, a free man. I wondered why she released me again, probably for us to repeat our love hate cycle. But I wouldn't lie, I sincerely wished there was another way to root myself deep into her heart. More than ever I wanted to see my mother again, perhaps her spirit could guide me through but unfortunately, even the limbo state failed to favor me.I stood before my mirror, admiring the crescent plus half sun mark on my neck. The marks of mates were usually like a faint bite mark but ours was different. Ours was unique even though I didn't know why. Yet Green was still hellbent on making it disappear. I heaved a light sigh as I sauntered out of my bathroom. I reviewed the luxurious room wondering what I should do today. Perhaps a little break from my mate would make these impending worries disappear."Perhaps I s

"Why are you doing this to us Zeus?""Why?" She cried and I just kept staring like an idiot as Luna Isabel and Myra wriggled in their bondage. They were tied to chairs in a cottage, one of my secret hideouts back then."We gave you what you want, why are you hurting us again?" Luna asked and I just remained like a statue unable to find the right answer. I asked myself, why was I indeed doing this. I knew abducting the Lycan's family was wrong but I was doing this for my mate. Even though I didn't know exactly why she was waging war, I still supported her. "Why?" She asked again and my eyes lowered. I relived the whole thing again. How I had gotten here, how I chose this ugly path.************"That's not how you water this one!" I pitched causing Green to stop abruptly. She frowned slightly as she held the pipe before the flower."I've nurtured this garden for centuries so how could I be possibly getting it all wrong?" She grimaced. I inched closer to her with a smirk before retriev

"Don't do this to me Zeus.""Don't do this to me Zeus!" Her silky voice whispered. Broken and filled with guilt as her palms cusped around my face."Zeus!" She pleaded and for the first time, I could tell how deeply my mate meant these words. For the first time, she was begging for mercy"Zeus!" She pressured again, tapping my lifeless face repeatedly."I love you." She mumbled without hesitation. "I love you Zeus!" She affirmed again, this time leaning against my blood coated shirt as she sobbed."Don't do this to me Zeus..""Don't do this..." My eyes jolted awake immediately. I sat up with my body covered in sweats, my heart thumping faster than usual. I frowned at the bedsheets while the morning rays lit up my room. For a while my mind kept playing that nightmare over and over again. But I had a strong feeling this wasn't a nightmare, this was a vision. I was going to die. Green was going to lose me. I gasped at that thought, I tried to get the negativities out but her voice pitch
