Zach’s POV“Zach please…” she started to say and approach me as I held up my hand to halt her in her steps.“I had a rethink of everything that had happened and as much as I commend your efforts to destroy my relationship with my mate, I hate you for it.”She looked to the ground crying.“On my wedding day, I left my mate for you. I broke my wife’s heart because of a fleeting moment with you. Something I thought was real that wasn’t. I doubted myself every day and not once did you say anything concerning the moment. You hurt me and you hurt Kayla.”“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”“Well you did! And I hate you for it!”She looked away, her eyes welling up as I held back my words.I didn’t want to say anymore to her as I was too mad and I didn’t care what she did with her life.I tried to keep my rage under control but it was too hard especially when I was thinking of a way to apologize all over again to Kayla.Now I regretted having multiple women in my life.Suddenly, I saw her crouching

Zach’s POVShe had severed her ties with the pack, embracing her rogue nature and disappearing into the wilderness. That was what this was.There was no way a normal wolf would be this crazy.Why would she do such a thing like this?Was I too harsh on her? Had I may be pushed her to the wall?Everyone back at the pack would expect me to bring her back safely, I had to show them that as their alpha I was capable of ensuring their safety.The stars above seemed to mock my efforts, their distant twinkling a reminder of the vastness of the world and the magnitude of my task. I knew that finding her in one night was a daunting challenge, but I couldn't bear the thought of giving up. I couldn't accept the notion that I had failed as an alpha, that I had let her down.No, I needed to bring her back to answer for what she had done.If possible she would have to lead me to the witch so I would confirm the story.With each step forward, I called out her name, my voice carried by the wind, echo

Zach’s POVIn that moment, we made a silent pact to embrace the love that had blossomed between us. We knew that it wouldn't be easy, that there would be obstacles and challenges along the way. But we were willing to face it all, hand in hand, knowing that the connection we shared was worth fighting for.Our eyes locked as she stood up and got rid of her clothes while I locked the door and did the same thing.We didn’t need an external body to tell us what was going to happen.It was clear we both needed it. We both laid in bed, our bodies entwined with her head resting on my chest as I gently played with her hair. I could feel her breath against my skin, and I knew she was already half-asleep. But I wasn't ready for the day to end just yet.It had been a while since we had laid in this position. Maybe too long.I was happy living in this moment with her.I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers, deepening the kiss as I felt her stir. My hands slowly began to wander, tracing a pat

Zach’s POVHe turned to face me with red eyes as I knew he had been crying.“What is it?” The former alpha said with a straight face not minding his shaky voice.“I need your help,” I said. Ever since that day we had had that emotional connection, he had changed. He was not harsh towards Kayla and he was more reserved towards acting rashly towards her. “And what do you want from me?” He asked. “It’s the council matter which I’m sure you must have heard of.”“I did,” he strolled past me. “I thought it was a stupid idea and if I had said something you would have argued with me and it would have ended in a terrible way between us which to be fair is something I am trying to avoid doing.”I could not refute his claims but since I was not here to argue, I kept quiet.“Look, I understand how you feel, but that bastard came at me with those stupid plots of his to ruin my relationship.”“You let a woman you had not seen in a very long time ruin what you had with Kayla. That doesn’t seem lik

Zach’s POVAs I presented our case, I spoke with conviction and passion, channeling the wisdom and strength passed down from my father. I laid out our arguments, supported by evidence and testimonials, highlighting the injustice we had faced and the potential consequences of Jackson’s actions. The council listened intently, their expressions a mix of curiosity and discernment. I could feel their eyes upon me, evaluating not only the merits of the case but also the strength of my leadership. I stood tall, my voice unwavering, as I made our case with unwavering determination.When I finally concluded my arguments, the council members exchanged glances, their deliberations shrouded in an air of suspense. Minutes felt like hours as the tension in the room thickened, leaving me on the edge of anticipation.Finally, the council's leader, a wise and respected alpha, stood from his seat. His voice resonated through the chamber as he delivered the council's ruling, his words carrying the we
