SHIFTING WITH ZARA
DRAKE'S POV
I listened to Cecilia's questions with an open mind. I could not help but wonder why she chose to ask me such questions as she did. She was the young wolf's mother and that information has been confirmed by Justin. They were also new to the pack, but what I failed to understand was why she was acting weird. Why was she insinuating that she was entitled to special privileges because her youth just shifted?
"Staying at the pack house is a matter of choice, no one has ever been forced to stay. Except in some situations." I answer Cecilia's questions.
"What type of situation, " Cecilia asked and I told her it was for the council to decide. I watch as her mouth opens and closes
MATING AND MARKING DRAKE'S POV My wolf continued to sniff Zara, pressing his face into her neck and then licking it. He was in his territory and out of my control, he ducks his head and sniffs between her legs. Zara draws back and gently pulls his head back but that only encourages Dwayne more, he purrs at her and drops his head on her lap. "What is your wolf's name?" Zara asks "Dwayne." "How do you do Dwayne?" Zara says and gets a lick over her face. She laughs heartily "Can I shift too?" Zara asks me but I was not too sure about that. She was sti
Zara'S POV I had hoped that someday Drake would place the mark of ownership on me. I was excited and afraid, a mixture of feelings overwhelmed me. Even though I had hoped for it to happen, I was not expecting it so soon. I also was not expecting Drake to seek my permission first before marking me. Imagine how surprised I was when he asked me if he could. I said yes without hesitation and when he dug his fangs into the space between my neck and shoulder, I felt a mixture of indescribable pain and pleasure course through me. I almost screamed my lungs out, if not that Drake had informed me earlier not to scream. I gnashed my teeth and bore the pain before a sensational feeling so electrifying and almost as if a heat wave pass through my body.
AFTERMATHZara'S POVI was still in bed when someone knocked and before I could answer, the person walked in."Are you awake?" Kate said with a smile as she peeked in first before she opened the door wider and entered. "I just saw Alpha Drake a while ago and decided to come to check on you.""Thank you," I replied not knowing what else to say.Kate was acting weird and blushing and grinning all over. She also had a funny glint in her eyes as if she just discovered a secret."Are you alright?" I stutter and try to lift myself from the bed."Never been bett
#CHAPTER31 THORN IN MY FLESH DRAKE'S POV I reluctantly made my way into the living room where I knew Cecilia was waiting. I was not intrigued or moved to meet her, I only went because of my responsibility to everyone. Cecilia was fast becoming a thorn in my flesh and was already pushing me to do what I knew I would regret later. Bearing this in mind, I tried to pacify and make myself more resilient so as not to get offended by her remarks. Justin was already in the sitting room with her when I came in. Judging from his face I knew he would rather be anywhere but here, but we were duty-bound no matter the person or circumstances. Cecilia sprang from her chair on seeing me. "Al
#CHAPTER32FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHTZara'S POVNothing prepared me for the total loss of energy I felt after being marked. It was thrilling, electrifying, and yet consuming. I felt drained and all I wanted was to rest, sleep, eat and make passionate love with my mate Drake.He had promised me earlier that we would go for a walk once he was through with the day's deliberations, according to him it was the same woman Cecilia whose young teens just shifted. She was not happy with something and wanted to talk it out with him.However, after some time, I could hear angry words being thrown around in the living room from the safety of our room in the pack house. I tried to ignore it and let Dr
*****************DRAKE'S POVJustin's information about the neighboring pack had been on my mind for a while now. He had informed me that they were suffering greatly due to bad leadership which had caused poverty, sickness, and death in the pack, and this information bothered me a lot and even more so since Zara came into my life.Having Zara in my life made me understand that suffering existed and could break or maim the victim for life. Some people could be lucky to escape like Zara did, while others might not be as lucky as she was. However, I did not understand how an alpha could run his pack down to the level that Justin was talking about.I wanted to make a difference, to leave a legacy be
TAKING CARE OF ME Zara'S POV I like Alpha Drake a lot, he was all I ever wanted in a mate and more. He made me feel special and beautiful. Beautiful, a word I never associated myself with, until I met him, even with all my flaws he still looked at me as if I was rare, delicate, and precious. Now he was all over me, fussing over my heart rate. I won't lie, no one has ever been concerned about my health since after my mum died, my father and brother would have gladly killed me if they could, I have no doubt that they let me live because they felt my being alive was worse than death. They were not wrong because I was a living corpse in my former pack. "I feel fine," I say to Drake who was looking
AM SORRY ZARA DRAKE'S POV Nothing came as a surprise to me anymore, I have seen it all, been through it all, yet I was not prepared to witness Zara's heart rate beat faster than a drum, worst perceive the scent of another in her. The scent I perceived around her was new, I knew the scent of almost everyone in the pack but the one I perceived on Zara was strange to me. She had been with me all day, if not I would conclude that she must have met with someone who was a stranger to me. I studied her for a while, she sat innocently beside me a little shy from the attention I was giving her. I couldn't help it, I was looking for a clue as to the unusual things happening to her.
