Zephyrus’ POVI watched my mate sleep with a soft and blissful smile on her face. It took my breath away to know she was at peace with her life now. I was glad I could help her reunite with aunt Syble. It made me feel relaxed. I know she wouldn’t leave me now. Despite the exhaustion, I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She’s beautiful! My little Lena. Despite the age difference between us, we connected with one another so well. I had never expected I could connect to a stranger so well! My eyes were drawn to her creamy complexion that radiated a glow all around the bedroom. This time, it was the mark I gave her that glowed the most. It stared at it, as if under a hypnosis, watching her soft, pale locks brush against it. Although I had expressed my wish to make love to her again, I couldn’t wait a second more. My c*ck itched to be inside her again, but maybe she’d be sore. Maybe she needed a little rest. These thoughts made me sigh and give her a little time to recover. My c*ck twitche

Lena’s POVIt was morning already, but I was too sore to get up. I could hear Zephyrus move around outside, but I couldn’t join him. After much effort, I somehow limped towards the washroom to freshen up. Despite the pain, I felt sated, and euphoric, as if floating on cloud nine. The bedroom door opened and Zephyrus entered carrying a breakfast tray laden with enough food to feed a battalion. “Why did you make so much?” I chuckled as he set the tray down on the coffee table overlooking the deck. When he pushed the curtains aside, the view took my breath away. I had no idea there was a lake in his backyard. The frozen lake shone under the pale sunlight “You need to eat to get back your strength, Lena. After what you’ve been through, you need it more than I do.” He held my hand and led me to the sit-out. “Mmm, smells delicious! I could get used to this every morning!” He smiled, and we sat down to tuck into the delicious eggs Benedict made to perfection. The steak burrito and berry

Lena’s POV The ice-cream did wonders to my body. Since the time I was at the ice skating rink, I started feeling an intense heat accumulate in the pit of my stomach. It caused a burning sensation between my legs, making me all worked up. I was in Zephyrus’ arms then and the heat build-up made me restless. Now I felt a little better after enjoying the two ice creams. He held me close as we sped towards Point Lake Resort and Spa and the momentary relief I was feeling subsided. His nearness, his warmth again, brought the burning heat back into my body! Was this normal? Although twenty, I had never experienced this in my life! Maybe I was going into heat like all the female wolves did! Zephyrus inhaled sharply and tightened his hold on me. Did he sense it? “Are you alright?” I could feel his sharp intake of breath as he leaned in to nuzzle his face into my neck. “Yes.” It was a shaky whisper as weird sensations rocked my body. I just couldn’t restrain the urge to break into my wolf

Zephyrus’ POV I left the spy girl under Alexandrios’ care and headed to the prison to wrap up the unfinished work I had there. I had to reach the root of this. How could they house the underage female spy in the male prison? I called Stavros and asked him to reach the place immediately. He had some explanation to do tonight. I stormed into the prison complex in a state of fury. The guards trembled at the sight of me, having never expected me to return! Now in Lena’s absence, I could rip their hearts out for what they did to an underage girl. “Call all the guards here. Where’s Brutus? Call him right now!” I paced the floor of the prison office waiting for Brutus, our old superintendent, who had been here since my father’s time. “Brutus hasn’t reported for almost a month, Alpha.” Stavros arrived with an agitated look on his face. “What’s up, now? Did the spy open her mouth yet?” “No. She’s not in a condition to open her mouth.” Stavros blinked and focused his attention on me. I f
