At the Campus Cafeteria (Noon)The Daily Dose Cafe:Zara was not breathing well.She sat at a corner table in the bustling cafeteria, staring at a plate of limp salad she couldn't even bring herself to eat.The noise of the cafeteria, clattering trays, shouting students, the hiss of soda machines was assaulting her heightened senses.The double dose of suppressants was working too well. It was strangling her wolf so tightly that Zara felt like she was suffocating physically. Her vision blurred at the edges. Her veins felt like they were filled with hot acid.'Let me help,' Layla pleaded weakly. 'Stop the poison. I can heal us Zara.' she told her."No,I can’t do that" Zara thought, clutching her water bottle tightly."If I stop, he finds us. If he finds us, then we are dead." She continued saying to her wolf.She was trapped in a paradox. The proximity to her mate (Alex) was triggering her heat and her wolf's desire to emerge. To counter it, she had to take more poison regularly. The m

University Infirmary - VIP RoomWhen Zara finally regained consciousness and opened her eyes, the world was white. White ceiling, white sheets, white walls.For a terrifying second, she thought she was back in the facility, the sterile holding cells where she was once held captive, the same place her mother had died. Her heart gave a violent lurch, slamming against her ribs, as she got up feeling so scared."Easy." Someone said beside her.The voice was deep, rough, and instantly grounding.Zara turned her head towards the voice.Alex was sitting in a plastic chair next to the bed. He looked too big for the room, with his broad shoulders blocking out the light from the window. He was still in his shirt sleeves, his tie already discarded somewhere. He was leaning forward, elbows on his knees, watching her with an intensity that made the air in the room vibrate."Where am I?" Zara croaked, asking him. Her throat felt dry."The Infirmary," Alex said, replying to her question and handing

The Advanced Botany Lab – 2:30 PMThe Advanced Botany Lab was a greenhouse-like structure attached to the main science building. It was humid, smelling of damp earth, fertilizer, and rare orchids.It was usually Zara's favorite place in the faculty to calmly be herself and let down her guard a bit. The heavy scents of the plants helped hide her own scent or lack of scent so to say and the humidity felt good on her skin.But today, it felt like a cage, one that feels choking and can’t seem to know how to escape from yet.There were twelve students in the class. Everyone was wearing white lab coats and protective goggles as per the rules and regulations of the laboratory.And then there was Alex.He refused to wear a lab coat. He stood in the corner of the room, arms crossed, leaning against a potting table. He looked like a dark storm cloud in a garden. The other students were so concious and terrified of him. The Teaching Assistant, a nervous grad student named Ken, kept dropping his

The more he stared at the wound, the more confused and bewildered he gets and this was because as he watched the wound, the heavy blood flow started to slow down.Not gradually though, as it would with clotting, but instantly. The edges of the jagged cut seemed to quiver, knitting themselves together so fast it felt that if he wasn't paying full attention on the cut, it would have felt like he had imagined it in his head.Zara saw his eyes widen as he stared fixatedly on her wound. She saw the realization dawning on him quickly, so she had to act fast now.She yanked her hand away from his grip with all her strength."I need to go wash it now so that it doesn't get infected" she yelled out.She turned and ran to the emergency sink at the back of the lab. She turned the faucet on full blast, shoving her hand under the cold water as she hissed in pain. The water turned pink, washing away the evidence.She grabbed a handful of harsh, industrial soap, the kind that smelled like lemon and

The Advanced Botany Lab - Moments LaterThe silence in the greenhouse was very heavy and a bit suffocating for Zara, which was broken only by the hum of the ventilation fans and the frantic and erratic thumping of Zara's heart.Alex still held her hand. His lips were still hovering inches from her bandaged knuckles, his breath warm against her skin. The kiss hadn't been a gesture of comfort. It had been a seal. A promise."Liar," he had whispered softly, replying to her.Zara pulled her hand back, tucking it against her chest as if she was shielding a broken bird."I told you," she started to say, her voice sounding thin and brittle in the humid air. "It's a clotting condition. I'm-" she continued to say"Stop. Just stop with the lies now." Alex said, cutting her off, now pissed off at the little game Zara was playing with him with her lies.Alex straightened up. The playfulness was gone. The curiosity was gone. In their place, was the cold, hard granite of an Alpha Command.He steppe

The Smith Estate - Four Hours LaterThe drive had been silent. Zara had sat in the passenger seat of his sleek black sports car (he had ditched the driver, needing to drive himself to burn off the adrenaline), staring out the window as the city gave way to the dense forests of the countryside.She should have jumped out at a red light. She should have fought him.But a traitorous part of her, the part that was tired of running, tired of the poison, tired of being alone, felt safe with him around. For the first time in years, she wasn't constantly scanning the perimeter for threats, Alex was the one doing it for her.The car turned through a massive iron gate, winding up a long driveway lined with ancient pines. The Smith Estate was less of a house and more of a fortress disguised as a mansion. Stone walls, slate roof, and the subtle, unmistakable hum of perimeter wards.Alex parked the car in front of the massive double doors. He killed the engine."We're here," he said.Zara didn't m

The Master Suite - NightfallThe room was quite large, it was larger than Zara's entire cramped studio apartment building. A fireplace roared on one wall. A massive four poster bed dominated the center. A balcony overlooked the moonlit forest.Zara stood by the fire, shivering. The suppressants were beginning to wear off naturally since she had missed her afternoon dose. The headache was receding as well, replaced by a low, humming ache in her bones. Layla was waking up.'We are in the Dragon's lair,' Layla noted, stretching in her mind. 'But the Dragon definitely has a soft bed so I’m not complaining.' she added softly, smiling.Alex then entered the room. He had already showered and changed into a loose lounge pants and a fresh t-shirt. He carried a tray of food which also contained steak, rare, and a glass of red wine. He then set the tray on the table near the fire."Eat," he ordered.Zara obeyed and sat down, no complaints whatsoever. She was really starving. Her wolf metabolism

The Master Suite - MorningZara woke up to the sound of bird song and the smell of roasting coffee.For a moment, she panicked. The bed was too soft. The sheets were silk. The air didn't smell like her cramped studio apartment's mildew; it smelled of cedar, fresh linen, and him.Memory rushed back. The lab. The cut. The car ride. The estate.She sat up abruptly, clutching the duvet to her chest. She was in the guest room of Alex's suite. The door connecting her room to his was slightly ajar.She waited for the nausea. Every morning for ten years, she had always woken up to feeling like she had the flu, which was the side effect of the wolfsbane-laced suppressants.But this morning... nothing.No headache. No aching joints. No brain fog. No nausea.She took a deep breath. Her lungs expanded fully. Her senses, which were usually muffled as if she were hearing underwater, were razor sharp. She could hear the hum of the refrigerator in the kitchenette. She could hear the heartbeat of a sq

The Grand Hall - 7:00 PMThe Smith Estate had transformed.The massive ballroom, which was usually very empty, was draped in silver and black silk. Crystal chandeliers dripped light onto the marble floors. A string quartet played soft, classical music in the corner.The room was filled with sharks. Half the guests were humans though, politicians, investors, celebrities alike. They all drank champagne and laughed loudly.The other half were the wolves. They moved with a different kind of grace, silent, and predatory. They drank scotch and watched the doors.Zara stood at the top of the grand staircase, her heart hammering in her throat while trying to calm herself down so as not to appear nervous.She had worn the dress Alex had provided. It was breathtaking, a floor length silk gown of silver colour that clung to her curves like liquid moonlight. It had a high neck but a plunging back, revealing the smooth skin of her spine. It was modest yet incredibly alluring.It was the color of a

Chapter Twenty- One.

The explosion didn't sound like a noise; it felt like more like a hard direct punch to the chest.One moment, Zara was lost in the grey storm of Alex's eyes, her lips tingling from the ghost of a kiss. The next minute, the world turned into a kaleidoscope of shattering glass, splintering wood, and fire.The massive oak doors of the ballroom where the gala is currently on going, doors that had stood for a century, disintegrated inward.Zara didn't even have the time to scream.Alex moved faster than thought. Before the shockwave could reach her, he had spun her around, pulling her tightly into his chest and turning his back to the blast. He became a human shield for her, wrapping his arms around her head and waist so tight.BOOM.Debris hammered against Alex's back. Shards of crystal from the chandeliers rained down on everyone like deadly confetti. The force of the blast knocked both Alex and Zara to the marble floor, sliding ten feet across the polished surface.Alex took the brunt o
