ZADIE WILSONHe hasn't given up. Still.I don't know what has come over Ayden. It's been over twenty-four hours since the fever broke yet he hasn't stopped fussing over me like I was some walking container of diseases. Yesterday didn't end well because I had to force Ayden out of my room. He was adamant to stay and spend the night in my room– whether on the bed or on the floor.Not to forget the many meals he prepared all through yesterday. He made me breakfast yesterday which was a well-toasted French toast. I was shocked. And for lunch, he ordered pizza and he would have made dinner if I didn’t tell him I wanted to have an early night.I thought sensing him out of my room last night would make him give up and understand that I was okay. I mean, he didn't even leave the house yesterday. However, walking down the stairs this morning, my less active werewolf nose picked up the scent of fried eggs and bacon– burnt bacon

ZADIE WILSON“The scent of your nervousness is choking me.” Regina blurted, taking my hand in hers as the car moved smoothly through the pack territory.I smiled nervously, “I am sorry, Regina. It's just that–”“You don't want to go to the Royal Physician or any physician at all but my dumb grandson keeps forcing you?”Regina asked rhetorically. She knew me too well. Why not? After saving her life and becoming friends with her, we spoke every day and became closer until I ghosted her for four days.Regina found out about my condition after she urged me to explain what the problem was. She knew I wouldn't close my diner for silly reasons and that I wouldn't choose to stop speaking to her. After all, I bonded well with her.After she found out, she tried to get me checked up but I refused and explained to her that I was tired of visiting physicians and doctors. Regina didn't give up immediately even though I haven't been completely honest with her about my background.She loved me. I d

ALPHA KING AYDENIf she could command the floor to open wide, swallow her and hide her deep within, Zadie would have given the earth such command despite whatever aftermath she might have to endure.Karl let out a wolf snort within my mind, “She should blush often. Look at the pretty shade of her face.”Obviously, My wolf beast was head over heels for my mate. It was a pity that neither of us could perceive Zadie’s wolf beast… If she even had one.“I can't believe Regina told you about it.”Zadie muttered under her breath hiding her face with her palms. I chuckled and stepped closer to her.I blurted the truth without thinking about how that might affect me, “Regina didn't tell me anything. Royal physician Robin informed me about your health status himself–”“Why would he do that? Does he understand that he had broken the patient-physician confidentiality?” Zadie exclaimed, embarrassment clouding her face, and she added, “You also sound like you are extremely close to him.”Well. I sh

ZADIE WILSON“Fuck!”Ayden whispered breathlessly as my cell phone blared, interrupting his mission and our moment. I clenched my fists, inhaled quickly to save myself from sinking further into the sexual trance, and broke away from Ayden. He let me roll out in his arms this time but as I attempted to escape the bed, his voice reached me, “Can we ignore the ringing phone?”“No.” I blurted tightly but with one look at his face, I choke on my harsh words as I got affected by his emotional face and eyes, of course. Those eyes were the reason I almost forgot all I believed was right.To ease his pain, I uttered slowly as I left the bed completely, “I have to answer the call. I don't have a lot of people to call me so if someone is calling, it has to be someone important like Regina, Chloe, or Emaline.” Ayden swallowed harshly, nodding as I added, “Those are the few people that call me. I can't ignore them.” Ayden replied, “Of course. You have to answer that. I will give you some privacy

ZADIE WILSONI looked out the window again for the hundredth time since I checked the time and realize it was past 6:00 pm. Ayden was running late and Emaline was blaring my phone with calls which I knew was because she wanted to make sure we were still down for dinner by 7:00 pm.But I ignored her calls.Could Ayden have changed his mind? If he did, would I be mad at him or would I be relieved that he would be out of Alpha Calvin’s presence?I would be relieved. Mostly. I mean, I wouldn't have to worry about Ayden getting insulted and maltreated. I wouldn't want him to be treated like that when Regina had been nothing but kind to me.However, I would be mad. Equally. I wouldn't want my sister to be disappointed. Emaline must have done a lot of work to prepare for tonight and I was certain Alpha Calvin wouldn't forgive her if my so-called warrior mate stood him up at the dining table.Failure to show up at the scheduled dinner would mean hell for my sister in her mate’s home. “I ha
