Zena’s POV next?👀 What do you think Zena is hiding? Do you really think she’s pushy and doesn’t truly see Eudora as her friend?
ZENA Rage. Despair. Pain. Those were the feelings that sum up the entire twenty years of my life. I have never gone a full day without feeling either one of them. It was like a stage, one I ascended to or descended down from. I was more familiar with rage because it was the only way I could express how I felt without feeling weak. Without being looked down on like a mere child with confused hormones, throwing tantrums. I would rather rave and tear the whole world down than let them see through me. And then when I am alone, I descend into despair. My loss becomes more apparent and the feeling of hopelessness creeps in. The feeling that nothing would change no matter what I do. That my life would forever remain the same. That I would never really know what happened to my parents and why they had to die like that. The pain brings tears. It makes me curl into myself at night. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and it hits me like the waves of a stormy ocean. And then I wake
ZENA•••Max—or whatever it is Eudora named him—lost me at the word, ‘pain’. Not like I was willing to listen to whatever he had to say anyway but just like he has always done since I met him, he succeeded in fanning the flames of my rage by mentioning something that I could swear was foreign to my asshole brother. Pain? What does Rex know about pain? What does he know about living in the same hell everyday and not being able to get out of it no matter what you do? What does he even know about me? He was totally clueless about me and cared more about exerting his revenge on our parents and everything they have built, than he did about the little girl who witnessed the death of the so-called parents. A girl who learnt to grow up on her own in total darkness and became an adult long before the significant age and before her body started changing. A girl who grew up without answers and had to fight for them till this day. So no, I didn’t care about Rex’s pain. I didn’t want to kn
ZENA•••Really?” He asked and I rolled my eyes. “I might change my mind if you don’t stop hiding and watching me like a creep.” I threatened and his hurried footsteps carried him to where I was seated. He hesitated for a few seconds but I knew the moment he lowered himself to the ground and sat beside me.“Too close.” I snapped. “Got it!” He answered quickly and moved farther away. “I told you not to follow me.” “I know.” He responded weakly. “Are you usually this relentless or is it just you being stupid as usual? Because I literally threatened to kill you yet here you are.” “I just wanted to talk to you.” He said again.I snorted, “If this is about that shit you said to me before, then the threat to kill you still stands.” “Well, I’m not afraid of you. Okay, I was earlier but then I remembered you threaten to kill me at least twice a day but l somehow I wake up the next day unharmed so I’mcounting on today being one of those days too.” I shook my head. His stupidity st
EUDORA. I walked—more like stormed—through a clear but unfamiliar path near the club,opposite of where Zena went and also ahead of whoever was following me. I called my situation a trap because I didn’t know where I was and whoever it was following me had a clear advantage. They were stealthy, barely making any sound with their feet but I was very much aware of their presence as not much was done to cover the strong roguish scent that the night air carried, accompanied with the unmistakable smell of alcohol. Whatever rogue followed me had a lot to drink and that didn’t make me feel any better about my situation or the fact that I was always in one danger or another. But Heaven knew I really didn’t want to do this today. Rather than fear, a wave of despair and sadness was all I felt. I looked slowly over my shoulder a few times, careful and pretending I had no idea I was being followed and each time I did that, a dark figure caught my eyes just as it tried to hide behind somethings
EUDORA.Since it was hard for my brain to keep up, my lips did what my heart told them to do as my heart seemed to be the only organ capable of processing what was going on at that moment. It was hammering against my ribcage at first, threatening to burst out of his confinements until it slowed down and made my entire body relax in his hold. And then my brain finally caught up. He was awake. And he was kissing me. I lost track of time and where I was as well as how bad this would look if anyone walked through that door and saw us this way. My brain however wasn’t doing much thinking because all it could process was how unbelievably soft his lips were as they moulded into mine like they would become one. The feel of his lips sent something like electricity crackling through me, starting from my brain and sending the tingly signals down to even the tip of my toes. Goosebumps spread through my body, causing every single hair on my skin to rise like it would if I was in danger. This
ALPHA REX.One thing packs revered more than the moon goddess, their beliefs they’d die protecting, mate bonds and boundaries, is meetings that bring Alphas of all packs together under the same roof. It was one of the rarest occurrences in the werewolf community and could only mean whatever reason a meeting was called is more than what a pack can handle alone. Me?Well, I’ve never given a shit until now. I guess no one expected the beastly son of the Alpha of the Angels and Banes pack to show up at a meeting instead of being locked up in his cage. Before that meeting, no one knew the changes that had happened at the pack or that I had taken over. I still remember the whispers, murmurs, grumbles and accusing eyes that followed me as I took my seat amongst them and introduced myself as the new Alpha. Of course, my ascension as Alpha wasn’t smiled upon but there was nothing anyone could do about it. Alphas wolves were territorial and knew what it meant to respect boundaries. One thin
ALPHA REXIf I thought by some miracle, the old geezer would leave Eudora and my involvement out of this, I was wrong. Instead, he seemed to be delighted to drag me right through it. “Yes, an Omega.” He finally responded, “The Rogue—”I pulled him back, making him slam into his seat. He glared back at me, eyes blazing with shock, surprise and irritation all at once. I couldn’t just sit back and watch, especially as no one but us knew about the Omega. Or so I thought.“Wait…is this about that written note found on the body of the Alpha of the MoonCrest pack?” A wry smile spread Raule’s lips as someone somewhere in the room said that. For a second there, I forgot that the only reason no one knew about an Omega or a note with an inscription about her on it was because the first body was found at my borders and I did a good job at covering it up. The rogue must have known and that was why he messed with me this time, placing the body somewhere else and taking the bold step of spreadin
EUDORAOf all the ways I imagined seeing Alpha Rex again after he woke up, being at my door wasn’t one of them. Yet, there he was, standing with his two hands dipped in his pocket as he stared straight at me. I lost count of the number of times my heart skipped a beat just by seeing him there.I panicked. And I reacted by doing the craziest thing I’ve done since kissing him in his unconscious state. I slammed the door in his face, fastened the lock and backed away from it like it would come crashing down any moment from then. I placed my hand on my beating heart to calm and assure myself that everything was alright but my brain was screaming the opposite. None of this was alright. I didn’t expect to see him so soon or to see him at all. Especially as I have prepared myself for the next time we would meet. The plan was simple, act like nothing happened. Like I didn’t sneak after him and disrespect him. Like it wasn’t my fault he fell down the cliff. Like things were back to the way
