"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Zephyr yelled angrily as he tightly held her hands in place so she couldn't move.Bellona was frightened so she pretended to continue kissing him, maybe it would salvage the situation but Zephyr was not having any of it, he pulled back from her, pushed her away and rose from the couch.Zephyr already knew that she had a weapon with her but he didn't know that she would use it on him. He simply thought that she took it around with her for safety reasons. When his hands were busy exploring her body, he felt the dagger on her thigh and out of instincts, he became alert that was why he was able to stop her from stabbing him right on time.Bellona landed on the ground but stood up immediately and dusted her clothes, she was annoyed. She looked up to Zephyr and met his dark gaze so there was no need to keep up the act anymore. She readied herself to fight."How dare you?" Zephyr growled, his deep voice resonated through the room. She noticed that
Zephyr was standing by his floor to ceiling window of his office in the pack. He was furious at himself. How could he call himself an Alpha when he was so easily entrapped, so easily distracted and so easily seduced."Where is she?" He asked Lucian when he sensed his presence in the room."She's locked up in the dungeon according to her orders, still unconscious" Lucian answered. "I knew she was up to something" he said but got no response from Zephyr."Alpha!" Lucian suddenly called out as he approached Zephyr. His eyes narrowed while staring intently at Zephyr's chest."What is it, Lucian?" Zephyr asked annoyed. He had a lot on his mind already and he didn't wish to hear Lucian's nag about how he warned him to be weary of Bellona."Not to bother you, but isn't that wound on your chest taking too long to heal?" Lucian paused for a while and continued observing the injury "I've been looking at it for a while now, it is a small wound compared to others you've gotten and it is supposed
"I'll save our Alpha. I'll do whatever it takes" Chris declared, his eyes glistening with determination. "Help me, let's take him to his room."The both of them carried Zephyr to his room where Chris commenced treatments immediately.When Chris was done, he left to make some researchs about the enchanted silver dagger but not before saying that he'd come by to check up on him regularly. Lucian sat next to the unconscious body of Zephyr. He felt pain seeing his friend lying unmoving. He had never seen him this way as Zephyr had never had the need to seek medical attention. He rolled his fist tightly, making his knuckles turn white. "I'll kill her." He said, his voice laced with bitterness then he stood up and strode to the dungeon, ready to kill.Lucian marched angrily to the dungeon. When he got to the cell where Bellona was kept, he forcefully pushed the door open."Can't you at least knock?" Bellona snapped and Lucian's frown deepened.She was no longer unconscious so she had the e
Antonio was worried sick about Bellona. It had been two days since she went to the company but was yet to return. He tried calling her but he was unable to get through to her and it worried him deeply.He also considered going to Zephyr's company to search for her but after further thought, he decided against it. If he eventually goes there, in less than a second, the wolves would sense his presence and attack him and that would put Bellona in more trouble.On the first day when she didn't return, he talked to Nimue but she only said that maybe the seduction antics led to Bellona having a one night stand with Zephyr and she was most likely with him. Though it angered him, he just decided to make due with it to calm his nerves. But on the second day when Bellona still didn't return, his worry grew. He couldn't sit still anymore so he went to Nimue."It's been two days since we last saw Bell. What are we going to do about it?" Antonio asked worriedly."She has probably fallen into the
Zephyr's woke up with a start. His head ached badly. He looked around to get familiar with his environment and calmed down when he realized he was in his room. He reached for the jug of water on his bedside table and downed the whole thing in a go and only then did he feel better.He remained in that same sitting position pondering on the dream he just had.*********In the dream, he saw Bellona and she was desperately calling out to him."Mine" She cried. "Help me!"She looked so tired and worn out and didn't have her usual glow. Her eyes had big bags in them and her body was seriously bruised.He hesitated for a while and then brought his hands forward to reach out to her but he couldn't seem to get to her. It was as though when he took a step forward towards her, she'd take two steps backward. She was close yet so far.He tried everything possible to reach her but nothing seemed to work then suddenly, an old lady appeared from nowhere and dragged her away. He could still hear her s
The last thing Bellona saw before she lost conciousness was Zephyr's eyes, staring protectively at her but before she could think of anything, she fainted, probably due to the shock and stress thereby causing her to fall to the ground with the electric chair still strapped to her.Zephyr glared maliciously at both Lucian and Jake buy didn't say a word to them. He then returned his gaze to Bellona. He remained on his spot, contemplating whether or not to go to her. He just wanted to go back to his room but his wolf protested against it. Fenir was aggrevated seeing his mate in that condition. He just wanted to come out and tear Lucian apart.It took quite a lot from Zephyr to keep his wolf in check. He took a deep breath and walked towards Bellona. "Alpha, you're awake -" Lucian recovered from his shock and began talking but he didn't get the chance to finish his statement because Zephyr passed by, totally ignoring him and walked to Bellona.He untied the rope which she was bound with
Zephyr stood in his office while waiting for Gwydion. He had sent a guard to release him from the dungeon and bring him to his office because he was confused and needed clarification.He needed to know how Bellona had been working with him and she was right under his nose but he didn't realize that she was his mate up until now. The whole thing was confusing, even for his wolf too. Just what happened?A knock on the door brought him back from his train of thought and then the door opened, revealing Gwydion whose two hands were bound and a guard by his side."Release him" Zephyr ordered the guard who quickly did as he was told and left immediately after he was done. Zephyr needed Gwydion to answer his questions correctly and knowing the man, he wouldn't talk if he was bound with chains."Did someone steal from you again?" Gwydion asked mockingly because the last time Zephyr sort for him was when he wanted to find out who stole Diablerie.Zephyr didn't answer him but gave him a hard gla
When Gwydion left, Zephyr simply plopped on the couch to ponder on what he had just heard. He knew that Gwydion was hiding something from him but he didn't push it, his mate was currently occupying his mind so he didn't have time to think about Gwydion.He couldn't help but wonder why Bellona was hiding her scent from him. It was obvious that she hated him, so why was she hiding her scent? Was she different from their kind or did she know that they were mates and didn't want him to find out? All roads were leading to one point; she didn't want him.Would she reject him? The thought of rejection made his stomach churn. This mate bond was doing strange things to him. He needed to get rid of her before he'd be unable to let her go. Her presence would only pose threat to himself and his pack. He was the Alpha for a reason and his pack's safety was his utmost priority not a mate.His thoughts came to an abrupt end when Lucian and Jake entered into his office. He probably didn't hear them
