ZARA“Good morning.” Xavier grinned, opening his arms wide as he welcomed me. “How was your night?”I walked into his open arms and hugged him. “It was fine. How was yours?”“Honestly? Terrible. I woke up this morning and reached out to wrap my arms around you, but you weren’t there. That was devastating. I cannot wait to have you in my arms again when I wake up.”Oh, mine was worse. I probably almost got killed overnight because Lord knew what that intruder would have done if I hadn’t woken up when I did. But I didn’t tell Xavier that. I knew him and how overly protective he would become once he learned that there had been a probable attack on my life the first night I spent here. He would insist on moving me immediately, even though the windows would be barricaded.I needed to hide that information from him for as long as possible.“I’m sorry,” I only murmured in response.“You shouldn’t be.” He pulled away from the hug, his eyes holding a warmth that penetrated mine and spread thro

ZARAThe man had already left the café, so I followed suit, looking from left to right outside the café in a desperate search for him, but he was nowhere to be found.“What is going on? What or who are you looking for?” Xavier, who had followed behind me, asked worriedly.“A man,” I breathed hard. “He just left the café now, but I can’t find him. I need to find him.”“Who is he, and why are you looking for him?”Time was of the essence. Every second spent answering Xavier’s questions reduced my chances of finding him. So, I quickly jetted down the street, looking around the block to see if he had turned a corner, but he still wasn’t anywhere to be found. How could he have disappeared just like that?“Zara!” Xavier called sternly, grabbing my arm and forcing me to stop while I looked around frantically. “You have to tell me what is going on.”I breathed heavily, but I took a few breaths to calm myself. “I just saw someone. He looked like my father, the former Alpha of the Blood Moon Pa

XAVIERI found him in his office, working on a document.“Xavier. I heard...” He lifted his head when I walked in and started to speak, but I cut him off.“Where is she?” I growled, my boots hitting harshly against the marble floor.“Where is who?” He narrowed his eyes, faking confusion.“Oh, don’t try to play dumb. You wanted her out the moment you realized I married her. But I didn’t know you would go to the heartless extent of achieving that by having her killed!” I slammed my palm on the desk, the items on it bouncing as I leaned in, my eyes holding just the right amount of menace as I growled lowly, “Where is your messenger?”“What messenger?” he asked, still feigning confusion.“Since you have decided to pretend you’ve forgotten. Sarah. Is that even her real name? The one you asked to slowly poison Zara with orange juice that contains arsenic.”“Zara was poisoned?” His eyes widened.“Here we go again.” I pushed away from the table, bringing my hands together in a mocking clap. “

ZARAI lay on the hospital bed with a cannula connected to me as a drip was administered to neutralize the effects of the toxins. Xavier never left my side, his fingers linked with mine while he stared into my eyes as though he were staring into my soul as we made small talk.The door suddenly opened, and my eyes widened when I saw Grandpa walking inside, worry clouding his features.“Grandpa,” I called in shock as I sat up. I flicked my gaze at Xavier. “Did you tell him?”Xavier shook his head.“Then how did you know?” I flicked my gaze back at Grandpa.“Well, I made a few friends while I was here, and one of them might have snitched that you were admitted here,” he said worriedly as he came to stand beside me, holding my hand. “What happened?”“I didn’t want you to worry about me.” I blew out a breath. “I was poisoned.”“Poison?!” He dropped my hand, puzzled. “How... how? What happened?”“Arsenic. But it’s a good thing we figured it out before it was too late. The doctor said I’ll b

XAVIERSomething didn’t feel right. Yesterday, there was a road blockage. Today, the healer was missing. I had a deep feeling that someone was sabotaging us. Someone knew we were going there and tried every possible means to make sure we couldn’t get to her.Just the way Elder Eleanor was murdered right when she was about to help Zara get her powers back.“I have a really bad feeling about this. This is really suspicious, and I wouldn’t even be surprised if they found the healer dead,” I told Zara.Shock was still evident in her eyes as she spoke. “I also have that feeling. Elder Eleanor was murdered just when she wanted to help me get my powers back. And now that innocent healer?”“Exactly.” I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed heavily. “I know you might not like what I’m about to say, but this person clearly doesn’t want you to become the pack Alpha and healer. He or she is finding every way to sabotage you. What if they were the one who fed you arsenic? Who knows what they w
