All Chapters of ALPHA ZAC’S SECRET MATE AND CHILD : Chapter 41 - Chapter 48

Mark’s povI slid through the pack, making sure my footsteps were covered. In the dark, I was a predator letting my wolf lead me. There were so many scents in this circus… from the ringmasters, to my alpha, to the elders, to the people in the pack, and the strange men and women who worked for the circus. And that was minus the spices, the herbs, the fireworks, the food. It was a lot.It started to drizzle as I looked up to see that the clouds were forming. It was going to be a stormy night. Using my super speed, I moved through the dark, heading to a tent, when I noticed movement inside. I snuck my way in and saw thirteen women. Oh, I had not seen the one hidden in the corner. Make that fourteen, as they all looked at me in shock.These women all had sad faces. They looked like they were about to be killed. I was about to ask a question when a guard entered inside.“So, Lila, have you seen my—”He saw me and stopped.“Who are you? You’re not supposed to be here.”He tried to get out

Freya’s povI was ushered into the room, with the other girls behind me, as I went to stand at the edge. I turned to my right to see all of them lined up, just as I was. We all wore the same clothes — thirteen of us in matching dresses that sparkled under the dim lights. Each of us wore the same black mask. We had the same painted lips. We were made into copies, shadows of each other.The ringmaster knew that Zac was my alpha, and he also knew that, by just staring at me, Zac would know that I belonged to his pack. To avoid that, he had painted all of us the same way. So it was now Zac who had to choose which one of us he would spend the night with.I gulped as the girl beside me whispered to me, “Don’t shake. They will see and they might kill you.”“I’m not shaking,” I whispered.She scoffed. “You are shaking. Just breathe. You’re no good to anybody if you keep shaking like this.”I took in a heavy breath as the ringmaster came and prowled before us. “Ladies,” he started. “Tonight i

Zac’s povI turned to Mark and nodded, as he immediately knew what I was nodding for. I then turned to the girl as I waved her to come to me.The ringmaster came to me. “Sir, are you sure this is the one you want? There are other ones.”I shot him a look that shut him up. He took a bow and stepped backward.“Now, I shall take these two women to my quarters, if you would be kind enough to show me the way.”Then Mark laughed as he slapped me on the back. “Alpha, come on. What about me? I mean, I need two women of my own as well.”But the ringmaster wasn’t happy about this. As he looked at Mark, “You were not supposed to choose.”Mark’s face darkened as he smiled. “My Alpha chose. His beta has to.”This had the man shutting up as he bowed, as Mark chose two random girls — which, to be honest, didn’t mean anything to Mark — as we all walked out.“Excellent, Alpha. You’ve chosen well. Now, let us see how well they serve you.”I then whispered to Mark, “Stay ready. I don’t trust a damn word

Zac’s povShe looked away from me and looked back at me. “Yes, only yesterday, and then today I’ve done the worst thing. Isn’t it enough for you to see that I’m cursed? Isn’t it enough for you to see that I’m not worth all of this stress? Those girls out there, they didn’t put themselves in danger. I was the one who did it. I put myself in this mess. Just take them and go away. Save the people in the cells, the people in the prisons. They deserve better.” “And what about you?”I closed the distance between us, holding her arms to keep her steady. She was shaking too much. She was sweating. “What about Zara? Doesn’t she deserve to have her mother come back? What about me? You think I don’t want you to come back home?”“Home?” She scoffed. “There is no home for me. Like I said, I’ve caused you enough pain.”“Am I complaining?” I asked. She looked away from me. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it. “Exactly. I haven’t said a word since I got in here. A word to tell
