Zephyr was standing by his floor to ceiling window of his office in the pack. He was furious at himself. How could he call himself an Alpha when he was so easily entrapped, so easily distracted and so easily seduced."Where is she?" He asked Lucian when he sensed his presence in the room."She's locked up in the dungeon according to her orders, still unconscious" Lucian answered. "I knew she was up to something" he said but got no response from Zephyr."Alpha!" Lucian suddenly called out as he approached Zephyr. His eyes narrowed while staring intently at Zephyr's chest."What is it, Lucian?" Zephyr asked annoyed. He had a lot on his mind already and he didn't wish to hear Lucian's nag about how he warned him to be weary of Bellona."Not to bother you, but isn't that wound on your chest taking too long to heal?" Lucian paused for a while and continued observing the injury "I've been looking at it for a while now, it is a small wound compared to others you've gotten and it is supposed

Antonio was worried sick about Bellona. It had been two days since she went to the company but was yet to return. He tried calling her but he was unable to get through to her and it worried him deeply.He also considered going to Zephyr's company to search for her but after further thought, he decided against it. If he eventually goes there, in less than a second, the wolves would sense his presence and attack him and that would put Bellona in more trouble.On the first day when she didn't return, he talked to Nimue but she only said that maybe the seduction antics led to Bellona having a one night stand with Zephyr and she was most likely with him. Though it angered him, he just decided to make due with it to calm his nerves. But on the second day when Bellona still didn't return, his worry grew. He couldn't sit still anymore so he went to Nimue."It's been two days since we last saw Bell. What are we going to do about it?" Antonio asked worriedly."She has probably fallen into the

The last thing Bellona saw before she lost conciousness was Zephyr's eyes, staring protectively at her but before she could think of anything, she fainted, probably due to the shock and stress thereby causing her to fall to the ground with the electric chair still strapped to her.Zephyr glared maliciously at both Lucian and Jake buy didn't say a word to them. He then returned his gaze to Bellona. He remained on his spot, contemplating whether or not to go to her. He just wanted to go back to his room but his wolf protested against it. Fenir was aggrevated seeing his mate in that condition. He just wanted to come out and tear Lucian apart.It took quite a lot from Zephyr to keep his wolf in check. He took a deep breath and walked towards Bellona. "Alpha, you're awake -" Lucian recovered from his shock and began talking but he didn't get the chance to finish his statement because Zephyr passed by, totally ignoring him and walked to Bellona.He untied the rope which she was bound with

When Gwydion left, Zephyr simply plopped on the couch to ponder on what he had just heard. He knew that Gwydion was hiding something from him but he didn't push it, his mate was currently occupying his mind so he didn't have time to think about Gwydion.He couldn't help but wonder why Bellona was hiding her scent from him. It was obvious that she hated him, so why was she hiding her scent? Was she different from their kind or did she know that they were mates and didn't want him to find out? All roads were leading to one point; she didn't want him.Would she reject him? The thought of rejection made his stomach churn. This mate bond was doing strange things to him. He needed to get rid of her before he'd be unable to let her go. Her presence would only pose threat to himself and his pack. He was the Alpha for a reason and his pack's safety was his utmost priority not a mate.His thoughts came to an abrupt end when Lucian and Jake entered into his office. He probably didn't hear them

Bellona jolted awake from her sleep but remained still on the bed, eyes wide open. She had a terrible dream that was so scary and it looked real.The dream was like the one she had the last time about Zephyr making her feel good but this one was so realistic. Zephyr had claimed her and marked her as his and she couldn't do anything about it.She felt scared, not about what Zephyr would do to her since she wasn't scared of dying. She was scared of disappointing her parents, scared of dying without avenging them.Bellona eyes trailed to her skin and it was as smooth as a baby's butt. If she could remember correctly, Lucian had inflicted so many injuries on her body so now come her skin was clear?Not that she hated it, infact she wanted whatever happened to keep happening but she couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with Zephyr.'Nah' she thought. He wouldn't do anything to help her, instead he'd only frustrate her life. It was probably the doctor who helped her.Suddenly,
