~ ZoraI didn't think it was possible but I could feel my heart break. My wolf whimpered and whined and tried to get out but I forced it in. I felt the bond between my mate and I go slack and the power of severing our bond shift within me.All I had to do was accept and it would be broken forever but I can't. "I won't!" I said, making up my mind. "I will never accept your rejection.""You have to." I heard Alpha Scott say and I turned to see similar blue eyes. If looks could kill, Alpha Scott's eyes glared daggers at me. "If you don't, you will be charged with treason and will be taken to the Dungeons to live out the rest of your days." He said. Beside him, his wife smirked. I always knew the Spruells didn't like me as their son's choice but I never knew they'd stoop this low.Would prison be that bad aside from the one my life will soon become when I return to the status of servanthood?I was about to reply. To say that I don't mind. I'd rather go to prison than give up my bond to my

The sound of rushing water was the first thing I hear before I opened my eyes. From my point of view, all I could see was mud and beyond it were tall trees cloaked in darkness. I groaned as pain lanced through my head. Squeezing my eyes shut, I turned, facing up which caused the pain to travel down my arms and sides.Eventually, the pains became bearable and I was able to gather my wits. The first thing I noticed was that I was lying on the bank of a flowing river. As I wracked my brain as to how I got here, memories of Emilia’s lover throwing me off a cliff came to me in a such a rush, pumping so much adrenaline in my veins that I got up in one swift movement.My eyes became wide, searching my surroundings in case Emilia or her lover was around but I saw nothing but tall trees and darkness. Another pain sliced through my head and I cry out, gripping it. I wasn’t familiar with any of my surroundings which must mean the river I fell into brought me to another place.In the distance I co

~ ZoraThe moment I finished the sandwich Nox gave me, I immediately felt a fatigue so intense, I could barely walk the few feet it took to keep the food tray on Nox’s desk table and back to the bed. I suddenly realized I had no idea if Nox wanted me in his bed or not. Besides, if he wanted me in his bed, did that also mean we would have to get intimate?I had no idea if I was ready for that. Based on how he had acted towards me since we left the woods and the feelings of reluctance and discomfort that I sensed from him, I decided it would be best if he invited me to join him rather than assume. Summoning the last bit of strength in me, I grabbed a pillow and a blanket and got comfortable on the floor next to his bed. The moment my head hit the pillow, I was out. By the time I woke up, I felt well rested and renewed. Reluctant to get up, I snuggled in deeper to the musky scent of citrus, sandalwood and cedar. It smelt so delicious, I basically moaned out loud. Something moved and ti

~ ZoraMy head. There was a bounty on my head and the only thing I could do was blink. Then I felt my legs move, one after the other till I was walking out of Nox’s office, down the passageway and out the main door. By now, the moon was high in the sky lighting my path. I kept walking with no plan of where I wanted to go. Someone may have called my name but I couldn’t hear anything else. I couldn’t hear past my own thoughts and raging emotions. What if I hadn’t shown up on Nox’s territory? Would I have been executed by any of the packs I stumbled into? Did my family know about this? Were they worried? Was Tyler also in on it? Did Emilia say I did something?“Zora!” Nox’s voice thundered through my thoughts. I jumped and turned around to look at him. He looked worried. I could sense his concern settling around me like a blanket. “Are you okay?”“What do you think?” I said in barely a whisper. I tried to feel something but it was like I was numb. I could only feel what Nox felt f

~ Zora Roman took me to the dining room to have dinner and after that, he led me to another bedroom just as Nox had ordered. My new bedroom was on the same level as the previous room I stayed in, maybe five or six bedrooms away from Nox. I also noticed that this room was almost identical to Nox's except there was a Queen-size bed in my new room instead of a King-size and the color of my curtains and beddings were lavender instead of gold. The first thing that had occurred to me the moment I stepped in was the fact that I couldn't smell him. It felt like living in a world full of color one minute and then suddenly being ripped from it and thrown into a room with monochromatic features. How could I have only spent a day with this man and he already has such an effect on me? More importantly, how could I desire a man who has been known to be ruthless and dangerous? Still contemplating my thoughts, I noticed a blue nightgown had been laid on the bed for me and when I got closer, I re
