Drake The car ride home was silent after I had announced my intention to build a hospital for Madeline in front of everyone. I didn't say that to grab anyone's attention or to prove anything to anyone; it was a plan I'd been thinking about long before finding out she was my mate's mother. Madeline was a remarkably skilled nurse, and her talents were being squandered at the useless clinic she worked at."Drake," Madeline finally spoke, prompting me to pull over so we could discuss this further. Her face was unreadable, leaving me unsure if she was angry or not."Yes, Madeline," I replied, turning to face her."Why did you announce you were going to build me a hospital in front of everyone?" Madeline's tone remained neutral as she stared up at me."It's the truth. I've been planning it for a while now, and that situation just provided the perfect moment to reveal it," I explained, while Zelda and Madeline exchanged bewildered glances before their gazes focused on me."You can't be se
Drake "An omega can't run a business."That was the final straw. My patience with him had worn thin, and I was hell-bent on teaching him a lesson today that he would never forget, which would bring me a few steps closer to my revenge for what he did to my brother."What was that?" I asked again.He had no right to make those derogatory "remarks about Omegas running businesses, especially when it involved Madeline. I couldn't let his prejudice go unpunished as I turned to face him."Lucas," I growled, my voice laced with warning, "You're treading on dangerous waters.""What? I'm just telling the truth," Alpha Lucas said, feigning innocence, his gaze shifting to Madeline, who surprisingly met his stare head-on she didn't look scared of him, the only emotions I could see in her eyes were annoyance and anger."Alpha Lucas, if you don't want to lose what little respect you have left in front of your son," I said, struggling to contain my anger, "I suggest you leave us be. While I'm still
Zelda I honestly don't understand what was happening before me. To say that I do, would be a big fat lie. From the moment the guards came in, I was lost and I'm sure my mother would share the same opinion as me but there was something about the look in Drake's eyes that told me he knew something about what was going on."What! He isn't our culprit, then who is?" The guy they called captain said as he let go of Alpha Lucas, who looked like he was about to pee on himself.Why does he seem to fear this king so much? "Some wolf in another pack," one of his men answered."How could they make this type of mistake?" The captain asked, seemingly angry."We're not sure, sir, but we will get to the root of everything," one of his men said as they all let go of Alpha Lucas."We apologize for the mix-up, it was a mistake on our path," the captain said with a slight bow."Mistake?" He scoffed. "I will have your heads, I will take it up with the king," Alpha Lucas said, his fear still evident in
Drake I couldn't believe what I had just said and done. I was furious with her for using our mate bond that way, and all the anger I had bottled up just erupted. But deep down, did I truly mean every word? Yes, I was angry, but I couldn't imagine giving up on her affection. After all, we're mates; she's my other half, my soulmate—the one the moon goddess destined for me. There was no way I could abandon her.In the heat of the moment, I had let my anger get the best of me. The words I'd spoken were harsh, and I regretted the hurt I had caused her. Our bond was something sacred, a connection forged by the moon goddess herself. It was a bond that ran deeper than any momentary anger or frustration.As I reflected on my actions, I knew I needed to find a way to make amends. We were meant to be together, and no disagreement or argument could change that fundamental truth. I was willing to fight for our love, to work through our differences, and to cherish the bond that connected us.
ZeldaIt's been a week since Drake and I had that argument, and I'm still trying to process the hurtful things he said. Why do I feel so sad when this is what I wanted all along? This conflicting emotion is overwhelming."Zelda," my mother's voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned to her, unsure of how to respond. "You were lost in thought. Are you okay?" she asked, her concern evident on her face."I'm just thinking about some things, that's all," I replied with a faint smile."Are you sure? You know you can always talk to me about anything," she said, her worry evident."I know, Mom, and you know I'll tell you if something's wrong," I reassured her with a smile."Okay dear, I was checking," my mother answered as she took my hands in hers, "he doesn't deserve you, and you will find someone far better than that coward."She thought I was thinking about Jake. Why would I be bothered about a jerk like Jake?"I know, Mom," I said to my mother and she returned my smile.Suddenly, there
Drake As I watched the paramedics do their job, it took all the self-control I had to hold back my wolf from destroying everything in its path, to think that someone would dare try and hurt my mate and her mother was something only fools dared to try. I would surely get to the bottom of this and this person would rule to say they dared to do this.I would make their death quick and painful, slow and torturous, they would beg me to stop but I would never until they're dead, if it was possible to bring them back to life and do it again I would.My eyes fixed on the flickering ambulance lights as they carried Zelda and Madeline past me, my fists clenching and unclenching as I watched the stretcher take Zelda away. She was unconscious and covered in soot. Madeline's face was pale and bloodied. They were being carefully loaded into the back of the ambulance. Rage was all I felt as I saw their state. If I do find this person which I will find, I will make sure he dies a slow and painful
Drake As I sat on the edge of his worn-out leather couch, anxiety etched on my face in one of my safe houses. The people he had assigned to investigate the explosion at Zelda and Madeline's house stood before him, their expressions grim, he didn't know why they looked guilty the deed was already done, so what they had to do now for him was to find the person responsible."A little birdy told me that you've found the person responsible for the explosion at the house" I said as the guards stated to me that if they made the wrong move I would rip their head off, which was true but they don't need to know that."Yes, Your Majesty. We found the man responsible for the explosion, with the help of the information team we were able to find him and he was under our noses the entire time" one of the guards answered "And who is this person that dared cross me?" I asked "It's Alpha Lucas"My anger immediately consumed me as my wolf fought for control, that bastard killed my brother now he also
Drake I woke up to the shrill ring of my phone cutting through the silence of the room. Once I looked at the caller ID, Immediately recognized the hospital's number on the screen, and dread washed over me. I answered with trembling fingers, my voice barely more than a whisper."Hello?" I replied."Mr Drake?" The female voice asked My throat tightened, and I managed a strained, "Yes, this is he.""I'm calling from the Clinic," the voice continued. "I'm afraid there has been a complication with Zelda's surgery."The world seemed to stop moving as my brain tried to process what the nurse had just said. Zelda, my beloved mate, who failed to protect me, was lying in a hospital bed because of my incompetence. My heart pounded so loudly that I could barely hear the voice on the other end. "What happened? Is she okay?""During the procedure, there was an unexpected complication. Zelda's condition has become critical, and we need you to come to the hospital immediately."Panic surged through
