Lance woke up from his sleep and then went straight to shower. He needed to clear his mind but whilst still showering, his mind went to her, his thoughts drifted to Bellona. She had been the one occupying his mind since days. He thought of her while eating, while driving and some times, he saw her in his dreams.He actually wanted to just have fun with her but now she was controlling his mind. He had been waiting for her call since he gave her his business card but he didn't receive any. He didn't have her contact else he would have called her.He had never felt this way in his entire life. All the ladies he had flings with in the past were the ones who chased him. He had never done the chasing but with Bellona, it was different. She didn't seem interested in him and all his attempts to woe her didn't impress her but instead of him to feel discouraged, he kept thinking of her. He was hooked! Though he knew she wasn't his mate, he didn't mind taking things to another level because he
The day for the mate ball finally arrived. The blood moon pack was decorated with the finest of decorations one could lay their hands on. Guests had began to arrive and were directed to their various rooms. Everything looked beautiful and everyone was excited except one person.Zephyr sat in his office doing nothing. He felt conflicted. His handsome face looked disturbed and his hair was ruffled, showing how much he had ran his fingers through it in frustration. He didn't even go out to welcome the guest, he let Lucian and Jake handle it.The elders had previously come to tell him how great of an Alpha he was for allowing the mate ball. They were happy that he'd soon sire an heir with someone who was not his mate. He didn't know how to feel about that but his wolf was certainly not happy.Fenir had begged her him to call off the mate ball but he refused. This was the only way to get over Bellona. If he had a Luna by his side, he wouldn't think about her. His decision made Fenir angri
As Zephyr heard her words, he frowned. Was he that bad? Did she hate him that much?"I'm sorry" He apologized even when he knew that a simple apology couldn't bring back her parents but he still did. He couldn't remember killing her parents but the deed had already been done. He just wanted to make things right with her. She was the first person that he had ever apologized to and he didn't mind. He didn't mind it as long as she'd forgive him.Bellona looked up at him in shock. She didn't expect him to apologise out of nowhere. It left her speechless."I'm sorry for everything I've done. If you could give me the chance, I'll make things right." Zephyr said sincerely. He didn't know what came over him but what he knew was that he had tucked in his emotions for song long and now, it was overflowing. He couldn't control himself."I- I" Bellona stuttered, her mouth unable to form coherent words. His sudden apology sounded so sincere that it threatened to break the walls she had taken years
"Oh" Zephyr called out as they were walking towards the hall. "Take Bellona to her room. I don't want her staying in the hospital ward, it's uncomfortable and give her some clothes too" he instructed. He wanted her to feel at home in his pack and that hospital room was definitely not doing the job."I'll instruct the Omega's to clean out one of our guest rooms." Lucian said."Don't!" Zephyr raised his voice a little. "She'd be staying in the room right next to mine" Lucian gaped at him. Zephyr didn't let anyone come into his quarters so it was surprising but then he remembered that Bellona was his mate, so he didn't find it strange. The packs house had three floors, the down floor was for the servants, the first floor was allocated to guests and that was where Lucian felt Bellona would stay. The last floor was Zephyr's. It was like a separate house on it's own. It had it's own sitting room, kitchen and two bedrooms. No one entered without his permission.Though Zephyr had his own hou
The mate ball was the most boring experience of Zephyr's life. He couldn't count how many times he yawned and everytime he looked up, his eyes met with the fluttering eyelashes of the ladies. It made him cringe.After what seemed like an eternity, the event finally came to an end and the elders asked him to pick the top five ladies."Pick them yourselves. I trust your judgement" He said lackadaisically. He wasn't even interested. He couldn't even remember the names of the girls talk more of picking the top 5.The elders smiled happily when they heard Zephyr's faux praise, they were glad that Zephyr trusted their decision, then they proceeded to pick out the ladies. The ones who weren't chosen bawled their eyes out while the ones that were picked screamed and smiled widely. They were happy that they were a step closer to being Zephyr's mate. If only they knew that the man in question didn't give a damn about any single one of them."Make yourself comfortable in the pack. You'll be stay
They got to the room and Bellona was impressed with the size of the room. It wasn't like anything she had expected. She had thought that she'd be given a small room with just a bed and a table by the side but this room was befitted for a queen. It had a king sized bed and was furnished tastefully. She could tell that everything used in the room was expensive and she loved it. It was as if Zephyr specially designed the room for her."Do you like it?" Jake asked. "Yes, it's good" She said."Alright, I'll leave you ladies alone to catch up" Jake said with a smile. He knew that they'd get along pretty well since his mate had the ability to break even the thickest of ice. He also wanted them to talk because since Bellona arrived, he was the only one that kept her company and he knew that she was bored."Off you go." Christine laughed and then Jake left them alone.Christine then walked to the closet and stood in front of it. "What's your style of clothing?" She asked Bellona."Anything go
"Are you not Zephyr's secretary?" Olivia asked rudely when she got to Bellona. "What are you doing here?""It's Alpha Zephyr for you" Bellona corrected her, ignoring her question."You have no right to tell me how I should address my future mate" Olivia boasted."Like you said, future. The future that'll never come so keep dreaming" Bellona said and attempted to walk past her but Olivia drew her back."How dare you try to walk out on me when I'm still speaking. Do you know who I am?" Olivia snapped."I couldn't care less" Bellona replied nonchalantly. She was tired of listening to this girl. Her voice was so high pitched that it threatened to burst her ear drum.Olivia was enraged when she heard Bellona's response. How could a measly girl like her talk to the future Luna in such manner."I am the future Luna of this pack and I'll tell Zephyr to properly deal with you!" Olivia threatened. If Bellona didn't know better, she would have been scared because of the confidence that Olivia ex
"Who's she?" One of the ladies asked the question that had been on everyone's mind. Who was the lady that got Zephyr's attention? She wasn't among them so how come she was with Zephyr?"I don't know." Another replied. "Did you see the way Alpha Zephyr was so gentle with her?" She snarled, jealousy was written all over her face.Everyone present was surprised by Zephyr's actions. No one knew that he had such gentleness in him. He was so caring and he carried her like an egg. He even cried when she showed no signs of waking up, not minding the amount of persons present.Some of the ladies began doubting the possibility of them being Zephyr's mate. It was evident that Bellona was Zephyr's mate as there was no other explanation for it. "Back to your rooms, everyone. The matter has been resolved" Lucian announced. "No need to worry yourself, everything is fine."On hearing his announcement, the crowd gradually dispersed, whilst still talking about what had just happened"What did you do?
