Tristan’s POV.“I said that I don’t want to hear any excuses!” I command Mason. “If you are not able to execute a simple command, just tell me and I'm relieving you of your command!” and Mason almost pooped in his pants. He is like an open book right now.“Man, I will do it!” Nico steps in and motions to Mason to leave the office.“You know how he is, he will help us but this is Mason. Sometimes he is a dickhead but he will never disrespect your command.”“Why are we still talking, Nico?” I say and turn around pushing down the desk all my stuff and shocking Nico at the same time.“The warriors are already searching for her.” and I can’t look at him. “And I will search for her too, but I want to ask you something.” and before he could ask me what he wanted the door opens and Rosie steps in.“Is that true?” she asked me with sad eyes. “She left?”“She can’t be too far,” Nico explains to her. “Even if she ran last night. because of the rain she can’t leave our territory. We are in the m
Tristan’s POV."Where is she!?!?!?!?" I hear Nana from behind. What the hell is she doing here?This can't happen! My life was just fine, I was going to have a pup, and continue to do what I do the best, to run this pack and now this?"Nana, will you calm down, please?" Nico says as he tries to help her but she can’t stay calm. She looks at me and wipes away her tears, she tells me.“Tristan Mayer. I saw you growing up under my eyes, but I didn’t raise a rascal! How could you?” she growls at me, and she is almost transforming because she is damned furious. She can’t transform or she will die and that’s something that I can’t accept. She was like my second mother until I was eighteen.“She is fine, Nana” I want to tell her. “She is not dead, because I didn’t feel the bond being damaged” but Viggo blocks me and the moment I said that in my mind as if I spoke too soon, I felt a heartache.I can’t explain what is going on right now, but it hurts too much and before I knew it Viggo was ru
Zoey’s POV.I hear beeping. This shouldn’t be the sound of heaven. I was expecting to hear a little chirping and the water of the mountain springs that runs quickly from under the stones. This is how I imagined that heaven should be. The definition of freedom, yet all I hear is that mechanical noise, like it is coming from a medical device.I am trying to open my eyes but I can barely blink, and I feel my eyes so heavy. Everything hurts. I can feel someone holding my hand and people talking around me. Don’t tell me that I am alive?It is impossible. I was attacked by a hoard of rogues. I would have let them kill me but they tried to rape me. I am alright with dying but not like that. So I attacked them and fought with everything I have. I don’t remember much, except when they threw me into the ravine with my abdomen cut. So how is that I am here?Who found me? I was far from the packhouse. Don’t tell me…And before I could focus to recover my mind went into chaos. Please, goddess, I
Tristan’s POV.“Dammit!” I curse in my mind as soon as I exit the ward of this…pain in my ass mate of mine.She woke up three days ago, I have avoided her since then and a half an hour ago I just received the news that she was discharged after the casts from her legs and all her stitches came off. She just left the hospital.The last two weeks were the most difficult time of my life. It’s hard to explain why because I don’t want her, or that’s what I thought. It is true that the bond mate can lift you up and help you become the best version of yourself or put you in the grave. She made me look like an old hulk wrecked on the shore in front of my pack members. Suddenly everyone is whispering and I am the bad guy. Why ? Because they found out that she is my mate?Not even when my parents died I felt so meaningless. At the same time I am tired and I am furious with Viggo for forcing me to stay in this bond mate. I am tired of fighting him day and night. For the first time in my life I f
Author’s POV.Carl Jung said that in all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder there is a secret order. And that does not apply only to physics but in every single aspect of our lives. It’s hard to explain but in every single meaningless issue we encounter ,after some time it looks like there was a connection. There was something, a substrate of maximum importance that we haven’t been able to see it from the beginning.And that’s the way Tristan felt since that rainy day, when Zoey appeared in his office asking him to make his surrogate. Beyond the anger he felt, with every single moment spent around her he started to feel the bond mate more and more. Don’t get me wrong, he still doesn't want her. The plan is the same. She will give him a pup and after that he will reject her. He will make himself free from Zoey Carter. The most important part of having a Luna is related to the pups. If he solves this problem he will not need her anymore.And with his thoughts in his mind he agree
Zoey’s POV.This …this…this…deceitful woman! She tricked me! I just stare at Rose and I have nothing else to do but to follow her to her room. Everyone is basically living on the same floor, on the Alpha’s floor. I get why Nana should be staying here but I have no reason to be here.“So” Rose starts clapping her palms in happiness. “From now on you don’t need to worry about anything, Zoey. From now on you have me. I am your person in this pack!” and she gives me the most beautiful and innocent smile as if this should be something normal, what she just said.“Excuse me, but I don’t understand,” I tell her. Right now I am alone with her , in her room, and I was expecting her to explain to me what my chores are but instead she just dragged me in the middle of her bed and started to blabber about pink unicorns and rainbows.“I have your back, Zoey. My brother can’t torment you as much time you are with me.” and I blink a few times as I am unable to process what the hell she is telling me
Author’s POV.Zoey stopped in her tracks and couldn’t believe what she just heard. Who would be so damned stupid to reject someone as beautiful and powerful as Rose? So she most likely is just confused and didn't understand correctly what Rose had said so coming back to her senses, Zoey walks to Rose and says.“It’s fine if you rejected him. Most likely he was a scoundrel!” but Rose’s eyes fill with tears and shakes her head.“No. He rejected me, I wanted to be with him. I had a crush on him for years. He rejected me. Directly and unappealable.” and now Zoey’s heart stopped. Someone dared to reject Rose Mayer? She is perfect. Everyone talks about how smart she is. About how beautiful and attractive Rose is, with her long hair and blue eyes. Looking like a perfect supermodel. Who the hell would dare to reject her?“Who did it?” Zoey asks and her heart is full of rage, thinking of thousands of ways to find that stupid man and make him pay. If there is someone able to understand Rose’s
Tristan’s POV.Fuck, fuck, fuck!What the hell is wrong with me? I went back to my room after I had dinner. I was a little bit frustrated that Zoey didn’t attend the dinner but at the same time happy because I was more than sure that she would have ended the evening by ruining my mood. I am still not easy with the fact that she is here, but if I want to have a moment of peace and not fight with Viggo, Rose and even Nico about this issue, I need to use her as my surrogate.Only the fact that she was right next door made me become agitated. How the hell I am going to ignore the bond mate when this woman is suffocating me with her scent. Viggo was right. She imprinted that scent in my being.I leaned in my bed and tried to calm down. All I need is to control Viggo. I am more than a man in heat because of the bond mate. Control yourself, Tristan Mayer! I command myself and almost slap myself. Breathe slowly and concentrate!One, two, three…Shit! Is she taking a shower?“She must be nake
