31: I’m a coward
I have been trying to avoid Zion and I think he noticed and decided to stay away from me but now I hate it. I hate not being able to see his face anymore. I hate that my heart skips a beat when I smell him around the corner and I hate that I’m on the verge of screaming when the scent suddenly disappears as if it was never there.“Earth to Geneva” Elena snapped her fingers in front of my face, bringing me out of my thoughts “You’ve been lost in thoughts since we got here. Are you sure you’re okay?” Lily asked with concern “Sorry. We promised to hang out today but I’m just so lost in my head” I mumbled embarrassed that I couldn’t get my shit together“Tell me, what’s going on in that head of yours. Is it a certain Alpha?” She teased “Maybe. I don’t know” I could feel his presence in my head, like he was wrapped around me like a blanket. It felt like we were one. The feeling is euphoric but alarming at the same time “I totally understand. It takes time to get used to someone lurking

32: Training and sparks
It was a full moon today and just like every other full moon, I missed my pack dearly. I tried not to think of how I was living and mated with the same person who took them from meCurrently, I was laying on the grass near the stream and staring at the large expanse of stars in the skies. It was so beautiful and the moon shone so bright “The moon shines just like your eyes princess” Dad would tell me every full moon whenever we looked at them. I knew he was only saying it to make me feel better about not attending the run and it always worked Today however, there was no run and there was no one to make me feel better so I was hiding. Unlike my previous pack, the full moon meant nothing to the Valis pack. To them, it was just another day. They didn’t take relish in their heightened senses and just went about their daily activities like any other day “There’s no pack run or hunt today?” I remember asking Lily this morning when I saw how calm everyone was “What pack run?” She asked

33: Fists and Falls
It was very early in the morning when someone knocked on my door claiming to have training clothes for me and they were sent by the Alpha. I was surprised to open the door and see someone with a bag of clothes. “From the Alpha. He asked me to drop this here with you” the young girl had said before thrusting the bag into my hands and disappearing into the hallway before I could ask any questions.I moved back into my room and emptied the bag on the bed to find different training outfits laid out. “I don’t think I need this much” I mumbled in surprise “I didn’t know what you’d like so I just told them to grab one of everything they could find” Zion’s voice came through the mindlink“Thank you?” I don’t know why it sounded more of a question than a statement but I still found it skewed to talk to him especially through the mindlink. It was so strangely intimate and it made me feel weird“You’re welcome. Isaac is waiting for you at the training grounds. You know where that is right?”“

34: You need to tell me
“I can see a great fighter approaching.” Lily teased as I joined them in the lounge. Today was one of the rare days when she didn’t have work to do. “You’re exaggerating. I basically had my ass whooped this morning” I moaned before dropping on the chair and laying my entire weight on her “I don’t doubt that” Elena said appearing through the door “Aren’t you supposed to be at the pack clinic?” I asked, pleasantly surprised. She was always working because people were always sick these days. “I took a day off. Isaac’s been grumbling about how less he sees me so I had to before he would kidnap me and won’t let me go to work again” she whined “He’ll definitely do that” Lily chuckled “So what are you doing here instead of being with your mate?” I teased “He claims I’m always busy but decides to train the entire warriors today of all days. It’s like he’s punishing me” she pouted and we burst into laughter “I can’t picture Isaac being vindictive” I told them and it was true. He was so

35: Leaving
Zion had approached me where I was seated in my favorite spot, under the tree and asked to talk in his office once again. We’ve been going to that place often and I didn’t have good memories of that place since we always had an argument when we were there. I haven’t forgiven him or forgotten about our argument three days back but he wasn’t going to tell me anything and it’ll be foolish of me to keep demanding he tell me what I wanted to know when it was obvious he wouldn’t. I have made a resolve to find out myself no matter what. I trailed slowly behind him, paying attention to the floor and watching as my feet crunched the dry leaves on the grass. I wouldn’t say I was nervous but my heart seems to pick up it’s pace whenever he was around and it made me uncomfortable how my body was always on alert when he was within a certain range or distance.It was unnerving how his presence caused a contradicting emotion within me, he made me nervous but he also calmed me when he was around. It

36: Miles Apart
It's been ten days and five hours since he left and he had yet to call or talk to me through the mind link. I didn't mind one bit. It was just the mate bond trying to make me lose my mind. There was this desperate urge to see him and be near him but he wasn't here and I had to keep fighting this pull. It was draining and it was making me lose my temper. I couldn't focus long enough to do anything as well. Everything in my mind revolves around him no matter how hard I try to fight it. I had been fighting it since the first day he left and now I just felt like a crack addict except it wasn't cocaine or any hard drugs I needed but my mate. “Are you sure you're okay?” Emily asked because I kept bouncing my legs even though I was sitting. We were outside the pack supervising the small pups who were playing. Rather, Emily was supervising while I was in my head. When she told me she had to watch the pups this morning, I quickly volunteered to join her to keep my mind off him before I wou

37: He's hurt
I was fast asleep when I felt it. This intense pain passed through my whole body, especially on my back and left leg. It felt like someone was using a knife to cut me through my whole body. I jumped out of bed in a panic and raced to put on the light switch and began to examine my body, searching for where this pain was coming from. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find any sign that I was hurt so it made me confused why I was in such intense pain. I gasped as another wave of pain hit me and made me fall to the floor from how painful it was.If there was no sign of injury on my body, why was I in so much pain….? Zion. He was the one getting hurt.My heart began to race as I examined the pain I was in. If I was in such pain, he must be in a terrible condition.“Zion, are you there? What's wrong?” I asked through our mindlink and waited for an answer but none came.“Fucking answer me dammit” I yelled and my eyes began to water. I was freezing with fearWhen he still didn't answer m

38: you have to let us treat him
Lily and Elena sat with me and we talked about different things the entire time or rather they talked and I listened because my mind was somewhere else and they had to keep snapping me out of my thoughts that I kept getting lost in.“Tell us what you were like in your old pack. How was things like over there?” Lily nudged me when she realized I was slipping again“It was fine I guess. We did things pretty normal” I say uninterested. My ears were perked up trying to catch any familiar sound that would tell me they were here but nothing “Come on. You can't tell me you did everything the same with us. There must have been things you guys did over there that we don't do here” Elena pushed. She came around to sit on my other side like Lily and now they were crowding me. I was almost at the point of ripping their necks if they didn't leave me alone ”Genny, you have to stop it. Don't let your mind wander. It's going to feel like forever if you keep listening and sniffing out the air to see

39: Nightmare
I was so tired but there was no way I could close my eyes. I was sitting on Zion’s bed with my right hand gripping his tightly as Elena and another pack doctor ran around the room doing whatever they do to make sure he was okay. “He is still unconscious” I pointed to Elena even though I knew she could already see that. I don’t even know why I pointed out the obvious but I couldn’t breathe properly because it scared me to see him so still even when I know he was alive.“He went through a lot tonight so his body is just recovering. He will be up and back to normal tomorrow morning, I promise” She walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulders. She squeezed my shoulders in reassurance and I just patted her hands in return.“Why don’t you get some rest, you look like you’re about to pass out soon. Let me give you something to calm your nerves enough to sleep” Elena suggested but I was already shaking my head in refusal “No. I’m not leaving him in this state. I’ll stay here till he’

40: Don't Close up on me
After my sudden statement, Zion had been shocked enough to let me go so I flew out of the bed and began pacing the room. I was on the verge of bursting into tears because of the emotions that were flooding me all at once. Pain, heartbreak, anger, relief, it was all too much. “You don't mean that” Zion spoke softly as if he was afraid of something. “You know I do. I have a lot of reasons to not hate you” he winced at my words“You are trying to hurt me intently” he pointed out “You were the one who kept me on edge for the entire week” I finally yelled out “no contact what so ever. You can't deny that you didn't feel it. It was your way of punishing me” I snapped. The urge to make him hurt was slowly growing past the relief I had that he was fine and here with me“It wasn't on purpose”“The hell it wasn't” I yelled “Calm down” He ordered but it only made me furious. “Let me explain” he added when he saw I was in no mood for whatever he had in mind“What explanation could you possibl
