XANDER“Fighting,” Alexei replied, and Ziva chuckled. My stomach churned at that moment. They behaved like they were family members... No, they behave more like a couple. Just as the rogue said, Ziva is the key to the Crystal Moon Guardian. She knew about it, but she continued to keep it to herself. That sneaky Darwin’s daughter!I will find out about everything... Soon! I just need to play along.While having breakfast, Ziva and Alexei continued to chat with wide smiles on their faces like I didn't exist. I almost snapped out in anger, intending to shove the table away and teach them some manners. Instead, I calmed myself and recalled my plans.“We just need to play along, Maz, and we will have the information to ourselves,” I muttered to Maz. “There is no need for a reminder. I'm focused and determined,” Maz growled.~~~Alexei and I reached the vast, racing field with tall grasses swaying in the wind. The sun is shining, and the sky is a bright, clear blue. I and Alexei stood a
ZIVAI was at the hospital, as concern and worry filled my heart at the sight of Alexei’s feet. He must be in so much pain, and the doctor had to put him to sleep.Then, Xander barged in, causing chaos and threatening the doctor. He boiled in rage and stormed out of the hospital.Gosh, he must be very worried, especially when he is the one who arranged the thistles on the field.As soon as he left, Lance turned to me. He scratched his head and whispered, “I think you should follow him.”“What?! Why me?” I asked quickly. Alpha Xander’s temper would only increase if I followed him since he despised me already. To be honest, he can murder me out of rage.“You are his wife,” Lance uttered, causing me to scoff.“Do you remember what happened the other time? He tried to kill me with that Agony Collar,” I replied, intending to remind him of the past occurrence.“Yes, that happened. But he admitted you to the hospital right away. Also, this is your duty as his wife.”“Beta Lance, you are very
ZIVAShould I call it magical or breathless? Words can't describe how I felt. Was it the giddy feeling? Or the butterflies that danced in my stomach? Yeah, both. ^^I smiled and recalled how he touched my cheeks. I touched them, feeling their warmth and I couldn't help but recall the whole kissing scene again. “Lady Ziva,” A masculine voice called out, jolting me out of the sweet memory. I glanced at the wall, and Lance came into view.“Alexei is conscious,” Lance spoke with a smile.“That’s great news,” I replied, and walked out of the small room, reaching Alpha Xander’s room. “But what about the poison? Did they find a solution?” I questioned, concerned about Alexei’s health.“There is no solution yet, but with Alpha Xander’s suggestions, the swelling reduced,” Lance narrated, while I nodded with excitement brimming in me.“Shouldn’t you be with Alexei then?”“Alpha Xander is with him. Though, Alpha seems calm.”I blushed. Was he calm because of the kiss?“I should take my leave
XANDERAn affair?Hold on, that's a better option than telling Alexei that I kissed Ziva. If I told him that I kissed Ziva, he might think of Ziva more as a family than our enemy and trust her blindly. But if I told him that I kissed a random she-wolf, he would roll it off his mind since it’s fine to have a mistress.“Yes, I have. Just today,” I replied. I placed the flask gently on the table and I unwrapped it.“Hm, I know Ziva will be annoyed if she finds out, so keep it a secret. She wouldn't like sharing you with another woman. But who is this person anyway?” Alexei began. He winked, “The person seems to be good at taming you.” Then, he snapped his fingers, “I guess it was the same kiss that made you calm.”“I guess so,” I replied, but he didn't stop talking.“What was it like? Rough?”I let out a sigh, “Alexei, don't cross the boundary with your nonsensical questions.”“Come on, it's just a harmless question!” Alexei spoke, as he glared at me, “Anyway, you are the one who made
XANDER“I will take my leave,” I uttered and moved away. Silently, I walked out of her room, but she wasn't even bothered. She returned to her phone, while I shut the door.I entered my room and sank into my bed. It was dark, and all that enveloped my mind was Ziva. I somewhat yearned for her scent and touch as I could not sleep.It was past midnight, but the kissing scene kept surfacing in my mind. I am to be blamed, I should have listened to Alexei and asked her for a night. But what if she instantly rejects it?“She is Darwin's daughter, remember?” Maz uttered, and I huffed.“I know,” I rolled my eyes, and reached for a pillow. I hugged it tightly and tried my best to sleep. Luckily, I dozed off.The next morning, the same feeling lingered in my mind. Hold on... We are married. I smirked.“Oh yeah, and you got married to her because you wanted revenge,” Maz echoed.“Yes. Also, I need to play along to get her to open up to me and tell me everything she knows about the Crystal Moon G
ZIVAI almost chuckled, “I can't feel or even shift to my wolf form, how am I supposed to be in heat?” “It is possible. Just stay away from him and focus on the deal.”“I will and you have nothing to worry about,” I smiled and reached for the door handle. I opened the door and left the room.Surprisingly, Alpha Xander seemed to be caring toward me. Since Alexei is at the hospital and Lance is busy with the pack, this gives me the perfect opportunity. Also, the maids mentioned that Alpha Xander would be at the pack training house now.I had doubts about one room, and I was eager to check it. The same room was the room for the welcoming ceremony where there was a broken fragment of a crystal-like object there. What if that is the Crystal Moon?!Sigh... I just want my Mum to be released as soon as possible.Last night, I was so worried about Nikolas and all I did was research about his pack. Sadly, there was no news about it... Perhaps that's because a werewolf's identity should be a se
ZIVAImmediately I stepped into the kitchen, I jumped toward the sink. Fortunately, there was a bowl of water in the sink. I dipped my finger into the water, intending to make it extinguish the burning, hot feeling.ו×It didn't stop! The feeling didn't stop. I turned on the tap quickly. Allowing water to flow from the tap to my red, swelling finger, I hoped for a change.But...° °; ^ ;There was no change. It intensified the feeling. To be honest, tears dropped from my eyes like it was raining tears. I couldn't control them as the pain continued. I turned off the tap and glared at my finger with my blurry eyes. I'm only doing this for my mother’s release. Will I lose my finger for a mere object?Footsteps echoed behind me. But why do I care? The pain I feel is enough to make me inhale my last breath. I sobbed at that moment, and I saw some hints of blue before me. Alpha Xander, I guess. I raised my finger to his gaze and apologized from the bottom of my heart, with tears
ZIVAI took the bed cover and rearranged it. I poured the roses on the floor and pushed them underneath the bed.“What are you doing?” I heard a masculine voice say. I paused in my tracks, and glanced up. To my surprise, I spotted Alpha Xander. He moved away from the bathroom. Just then, I realized that he had been in the bathroom.He was in a shirt with a few buttons undone. I gulped and looked away.“I was arranging...” I muttered, and faced him, “How long have you been there?”“A minute or two. And what did you do to the roses? They were beautiful.”“It was arranged here accidentally, so I threw them away,” I replied with a fake smile.He dropped his cell phone on the table, then he returned to the bathroom with a towel.As soon as he shut the door, I heard the gushing sound of water.I exhaled loudly like I had been holding my breath. Okay... I just have to endure, endure his presence on the bed, next to me. Sharing the bed with him for the first time was awful. I think I would ra
