I enter Tristan's office and I can cut the tension in the air.He passes me and walks to his desk and I thought that he would take a seat, but he motioned me to come close.Oh goddess, give me strength to survive this day and I promise you that I'll never make such stupid plans again.I had a lot of good intentions ,but this is already too much!Help me goddess, and I will be your most submissive child you ever seen."You know that I don't like to repeat myself!" Tristan says in a commanding voice, that makes my heart skip a beat. If he wouldn't be so arrogant and cruel he would be so damned perfect, but he is a jerk.I am watching him directly into his eyes and while I am coming in his direction I answer back, "And until now, Alpha Mayer, you should know that I hate being forced."I take a seat on the visitor chair , right in front of him.I have no idea why he asked me to come here, but I am a little bit nervous.Not as nervous as I was when I left the house, because now I am more c
Tristan Mayer's POV"Do it, man!" Viggo growls in my mind, making me lose my focus.Since I started to flirt with the idea of making Zoey my surrogate he's acting like a desperate. How the hell am I going to handle this mess?It's been only one day since she made that grand entrance in my office, ruining my inner balance and here I am today waiting for her.This is not right at all. This is why I commanded her to stay away from me."Inner balance my ass!" I hear Viggo mocking me."You are like a walking dead for years, feeling nothing. Your so-called inner balance is something so damned discompassionately macabre, as if you are leading the pack without the slightest regard for our pack members' lives. Firstly, remember why the hell we need a pup." and I would want to contradict him, but here he is right.Everyone who knows me is describing me as a cruel and arrogant Alpha.So what? I have a history able to justify my actions.I lost everything in this life and I was forced to become a
Zoey’s POV.“Zoey?” Nana mindlinks me “Are you awake?” she asks me.I just stared at the ceiling .I didn't sleep at all last night. How was I supposed to do it after everything that happened recently?Last evening I ran out of the packhouse as if its walls were infected with leprosy, I would have done anything to teleport myself as far as possible from Tristan Mayer and his pack but as I was leaving the area a loud growl echoed from behind.Mason!I turned around and faced him, coming in my direction in military steps, ready to knock me down. I am so sick of him. In the last few years he acted like a stalker, and I feel his eyes checking on me wherever I go. He gives me a bad feeling and makes me feel insecure wherever he is around. I know that he hates me. I know that it was his father who found me in the woods with my dead family. Whatever is related to the Reynolds family gives me an unpleasant vibe.“What the hell do you want, Mason?” I asked him full of rage. He looks like crap
I practically hid myself since my last discussion with Nana. Everything it was needed for us to survive I bought it online so I won't face anyone. Tristan didn’t ask for my presence so I am fine. The thing is that I took pills to delay the heat, but now, If I agreed to be Tristan’s surrogate I can’t take them anymore because they are working like some birth control pills. The heat will hit me in all its glory, because that’s how our life is going on. You find your mate and one or two weeks later the heat appears.The thing is that I am not claimed, I am still a virgin and the moment the heat will come I need to hide myself from everyone or I will become a target for all the unmated males in our pack. I need to get pregnant soon or this will end badly.Nana is as horrified as I am and she looks at me with pity. The first cycle is spontaneous. You have no idea when it will come. We are just like the real wolves. Wolves go into heat once a year anytime between January to April and it onl
Tristan’s POV.“You should send someone to watch over Zoey,” Viggo tells me. He had me up all night yapping about Zoey’s safety, about her being alone in that remote location but I ignored him.“She might be frightened by this storm, man!” he tells me again. “You’ve heard Nana. She was afraid that Zoey would freak out about thunder and lightning.”Sincerely, I had no idea that she was so weak. With that loud mouth of her and that sassy attitude she looked like nothing can stand against her, and yet she poops in her pants because of a storm?“Fuck you, Tristan Mayer!” Viggo scolds me and seeing that I am not intending to look after Zoey he closes the mindlinks with me.And why should I look for her?In half an hour I will meet her at the hospital. She will come because she is so damned egger to take my money, so I enter the dressing room and grab a shirt and some black jeans. I also take a cardigan and wrap it around my shoulders, because the weather outside is still cold.I went down
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
