Zelda"What the hell are you doing here?" Jake didn't argue, instead, he ran off. "How are you, honey?" My mother came to hold me. "I'm okay, Mom," I smiled. "How was your outing?" I asked immediately to lighten up the atmosphere."That jerk. I can't believe he still has the face to come here." She hissed. "I think Zelda needs to rest. She looks tired." Drake said, his eyes fixed on me. He is my mate after all. He could probably feel my exhaustion. "Yes Mom, I need to rest." I sighed in relief. "Alright dear, goodnight." She kissed my cheek. "Goodnight Mom," I hurried off before she noticed something else. The next morning, I woke up feeling better and light. I went straight to the bathroom and took a quick bath. I dressed myself up in what I'm most comfortable in, jeans and a shirt. I hurried out of the house and headed straight for work.I was welcomed to work by Gina. She was smiling from ear to ear as I arrived. "How are you, girl?" She winked. "I heard that Jake was i

JakeI was lying in bed while Cindy was busy pacing about in my room, she fisted her hand angrily. Angry at the turn of events, I must commend that Zelda’s boss is smart and knows how to talk himself from trouble. My ego was hurt, and I had to try to stop myself from going to Zelda’s home and punching him in the face. “How can the alpha let him go, he should have punished him,” Cindy said, and I tilted my head to look at her. “And you will be punished too, Father was only considering that and decided to let you be” I replied and Cindy snorted.I squeezed my eyes closed and Cindy was busy nagging, I was tired of hearing her voice and I stood up from the bed.“Where are you going?” she asked, and I sighed, turning to look at her “I’m going out for a walk” I replied to her and she wrapped her hand beneath her chest, which made her breasts push up a bit. “We should think about how to humiliate Zelda and her boss, this is not the time to go out for a walk,” Cindy said, and I arched my

ZeldaI decided to open the door as my mother wouldn’t stop calling me. I didn’t want her to worry and I didn’t want Drake to think that I was affected by him so I opened the door and let her in.“Honey….”My mom kept talking, but I wasn't listening to her. I was just nodding along, my mind still spinning from what had happened earlier.I couldn't stop thinking about Drake and how close they had been, both physically and emotionally. I didn't know what it meant, or what to do about it. I just knew that it was confusing and overwhelming, and It wouldn’t stop playing over and over in my head.I noticed that Drake was staring at me, but I refused to look him in the eyes. I was too afraid to do so, knowing that he would be able to read me like a book.I felt like I was an open book, and I didn't want him to know what I was feeling. I was scared that he would mock me, or that I would embarrass myself by revealing too much. I kept my eyes focused on my mom, trying to act as normal as possib

DrakeAs I lay in bed, Zelda's sad face kept flickering through my mind. I felt a pang of guilt and sadness, knowing that I had hurt her emotions. I tried to push the thoughts away, but they kept coming around, like a broken log. I knew I had to do something to make it right. But what? I could not figure out where to start.I couldn't help but wonder how Zelda would be feeling right now. Is she okay? The thought made my heart ache. I felt like I had done something unforgivable, like I had betrayed her.Even though I knew that I had not betrayed her. Her stubbornness has caused this. If only she had accepted me to be her mate we wouldn't have been in this mess, but no, she decided to be selfless and has caused both to be in pain.As I stood up and opened the window, I watched as she walked out of the house. I guess she's on her way to work. I felt a wave of guilt wash over me.I felt like I was making her comfortable in her home, and it made me feel sad.I decided to stay away from her

DrakeAs I walked into the room to take Madeline to her room, Zelda looked away, acting as if she didn't notice me in the room, so I walked up to where I placed Madeline and picked her up in my arms carefully so as not to wake her up. Then my gaze moved to Zelda; she looked like she was in a lot of pain, and I couldn't do anything to help her for now. I needed to take care of Madeline first by tucking her into bed, and then I could face the issue of Zelda's heat.As I carried her to her room, she was mumbling incoherent words as she wrapped her hands tighter around me. Then, a few seconds later, I heard her whisper, "Luther, I miss you. Please come back to us." I couldn't help but wonder who she was talking about. Not that I was jealous or something; I was just genuinely curious who this man named Luther was to the girls.Once I reached her room, I placed her on the bed gently and pulled the covers over her. As I was about to leave, she grabbed my hand, her eyes fluttering open. "D
