ZARAI turned over, feeling the soft bedding against my skin. How did I get into bed? The last thing I remembered was being on the couch with Xavier while I listened to his steady, soothing breathing. Sometime during the night, I must have drifted off.Opening my eyes, I realized it was already morning, and Xavier wasn't in bed beside me. It didn't even look like he had slept there at all. Had he already resumed work after drinking alcohol last night? Knowing him, that wouldn't be surprising. The man practically lived for work, but after everything that had happened, I had expected him to at least get some rest.I slowly got out of bed, stretched my stiff muscles, and headed into the bathroom to relieve myself before splashing cold water over my face. The cool sensation helped wake me up, though my mind remained occupied with thoughts of Xavier. He had looked so vulnerable the previous night, a side of him I had never imagined existed.After brushing my teeth, I left the room in searc

ZARAMy phone was handed back to me, and I realized they had turned it off. I turned it back on, only to see several notifications popping in. I quickly dialled Xavier’s number and he answered on the first ring. “Zara,” he called, sounding breathless. “Where are you? Did they hurt you? I will find you. I promise. I am already arranging…”“I am safe,” I interrupted him with an exhale. “Where are you right now? There's something i have to tell you. ”“I’m at the hospital, but—”I cut him off. “Okay. Wait for me. I’m coming.”With that, I ended the callI needed to see Grandpa at the hospital anyway and ask him to explain everything I had just learnt. Derick's men drove me back to the hospital in complete silence. None of them spoke a single word throughout the journey, and I didn't either. My mind was too occupied trying to process everything Derick had told me. As the Mustang pulled into the hospital parking lot, I immediately spotted Xavier pacing outside the main entrance. The

ZARAThe last thing I remembered was getting up to pee before coming back to bed to cuddle with Xavier. I had fallen asleep in his arms.I stirred and slowly opened my eyes to see him lying beside me, his handsome face a sight for sore eyes. A warm heat settled low in my belly as I traced the definition of his muscles with my gaze. He was so breathtaking.I didn't know how long I stared at him, but eventually, I got up and walked out of the room to get some water. Downstairs, on my way to the kitchen, I spotted Adrian in the living room, watching a soccer match on the television."Hey," I muttered when he turned to look at me.He opened his mouth to respond, but a loud roar erupted from the television, so he quickly returned his attention to it, screaming, "Goal!"I shook my head and continued on my way to the kitchen. After getting some water from the refrigerator, I decided to chill in the living room since I wasn't sleepy anymore."What's so interesting about this?" I asked Adrian

ZARA“They want me dead. I need to get out of this city. I’ll call you when I arrive at my destination,” a faceless woman said in a panicked tone into the phone as she quickly reached for a toddler inside a crib.What was happening? I wondered.The woman, whose face appeared completely dark like a shadow, packed a few things into a backpack and hurried toward the door. But the moment she opened it, a giant faceless man appeared before her. He held a large axe, and before the woman could react, he hacked through the middle of her head with it, splitting it open with brutal force. Blood splattered everywhere.A loud gasp escaped me as I shot my eyes open and sat upright like someone who had just been raised from the dead. I was confused and sweating profusely.“It’s okay. It was just a dream.” Someone's arms wrapped around me in an embrace, and I nearly jumped away from him before registering that it was Xavier.My breaths came in heavy pants as I tried to compose myself. That dream had

ZARA“I am not a healer, and my name is not Ariana,” I corrected.“You are a healer. You might not have tapped into your healer abilities yet, but with guidance, you will be able to wield your healing powers. Once you return to the pack, that will be sorted out,” Derick said.I sighed heavily. “You mentioned that the pack is getting weaker because they don’t have their Alpha.”He nodded, and I continued, “Since when has this been happening?”“Over ten years now. And we had been searching for you even before then. The pack council still doesn’t know that I have found you. I want you to willingly agree to return to the pack before I announce it to them. The pack would be so elated. So...” He pinned his gaze on me. “Can I inform them now?”“I still haven’t agreed to come and rule the pack. Everything still feels strange,” I told him. “I’m not even sure I want to do it. I have never envisioned myself as a pack Alpha. I don’t even feel like one.”“It’s all in your mind. Because you were ra
