ASTRID.His dark eyes reek of no innocent, just by staring at those frosting pupils; I feel like I am wandering into another world, there’s something about those eyes that is like a mystery.As much as I want to unlock it, I just can’t. I try to reach for it, but a magnetic force pulls me back. In those dark eyes, I can’t even tell what he’s thinking or trying to think.I try so badly to connect with his mind-link. I flap around in darkness as usual, but I want to reach it, determination strikes me, I flap around with much strength but a force pulls me back, a headache surfaces.Just a little closer...I am thrown to the floor. Fuck.He stares at me with no words, before pulling his hand forward. When I grab his, it feels so cold and electrifying, I stand up, but my muscles still hurt.“Don’t do that again, Astrid.” There’s a cold tone at the edge of his voice.Aya snaps up. “I am your mate.” Your fucking mate, I have every right to try and communicate with you, why is just me? Why ca
ZEKE.Last night's event comes to my memory again.The chicken soufflé makes my stomach knot. All I can think about is her. Just fucking her.“Zeke!” Madam Yv calls out, before rubbing her forehead anxiously. “Tell us what’s going on, you never pick at your food.” She turns towards Logan who’s beside me. He just shrugged.These are the days I have breakfast with Madam Yv, Logan and Gus, these are the days I don’t like.“Yes. Zeke. Why don’t you be a pretty boy and tell us what’s going on?” Logan says in a girl voice, before picking up the mug, making sure to give me a smug look.I drop the spoon on the table, “I think there are almonds in this food. I think I will just pass.”Logan’s dark eyes meet mine, sometimes I fear that he can read past me. “We are both allergic to almonds, and so far. I am not on the floor choking and dying.”This is the time that I want to fucking break his nose. I shoot him a glare.“You fucking bastard-” I grit my teeth. “No. No, we both know that there’s n
CLEO. “What do you mean the Alpha can’t have lunch with me?” I ask angrily, my eyes snapping over to the Omega who bows her head in front of me. I tap the edge of my seat impatiently, my voice hard. “I am sorry, but the Alpha is currently at a meeting with the council.” “What of Alpha Logan?” I ask. “He’s also currently busy as well.” I roll my eyes at her, before gesturing for her to leave; her apologies are starting to make me sick. Oh just fucking great, well it seems like I will have to postpone my plans, but it seems like that Alpha does not look interested in me. I grit my teeth together; He needs to be interested in me for my plan to work. Who won’t be interested in me? Yesterday, I already bid goodbye to my father, he is an Alpha, and he has a pack to keep away from my playboy brothers’ hands. I sigh, my hands stroking the necklace that dangles between my chest, the book I took from the treasure room still sits on the reading table, it’s not yet time to open it, it belon
ZEKE.I am sitting in my office, still mulling about my present state of life, the window stares back at me, a can of beer sits on the table, but right now, it’s as though I don’t itch for that.My body itch for something- or rather someone, someone whose mouth is too sharp, someone who I dream about every fucking day.The room feels chilling, and for a minute I look around, maybe expecting to see her, what a fool I am.The door chimes open and Gus walks in with a stack of folders, he places them on the table with a thud. “Here.”My head is throbbing hard. “Do I really have to stamp all this?” I am annoyed. “Can’t Logan do all this? Besides, where is Logan?”Gus scratches his head, his face morphed into an apologetic smile. “I have no idea, but presently, he’s as swamped as you are.”I sigh, staring at the papers that lined up the table. Now everything just feels so hard, with the present threat of the pack, the council’s constant complaining and finally, Astrid.I just want to forget
ASTRID.I don’t know the first reaction I am supposed to get, but anger is one of them. I am right there, watching as she moves her arm along his. My mate, she has no right.I clench my fists together, suddenly feeling like an idiot. I never liked the Blue moon day, I just always read books till midnight with my mother, and today, I was planning to do that with Juniper and Gus, turns out we have become really close these past few days.But then, Mrs. Perry orders me around to come here, and now. Here I am, staring at them from the window, my mind mirroring around different thoughts. His eyes moved around and when they met mine from the outline of the window.Electricity cackles through my spine, dark and strong, I would have looked away, but I keep my eyes focused, anger still brewing through me. A fucking Alpha does not look away.From the outline of the window, Cleo releases herself from him, what’s she truly doing? She brushes past him and steps into the room, her familiar scent hi
ZEKE.I wake up yearning for more. Last night’s memories again replay in my mind. Fuck.Her lips, her taste, her smell, it’s haunting my mind. I want every single bit of her. I stare at her sleeping figure, her fluttered eyebrows, and her lips. Goodness. Those gorgeous lips.For the first time, I don’t have those vivid dreams, nothing came, everything just felt so normal.I want to crouch beside her and inhale her scent all day long, I want to stay beside her every fucking time. She’s doing something to me.“You deserve it all.” I mutter, before finally wanting lying beside her when I heard a knock, irritation shoots through me.“Who is it?” I bark, but there’s silence at the other end, I hear fisted knuckles. “Happy morning to you too, brother. Get your ass to the meeting room, you are not only going to happy if you see this.” Logan’s voice shoots through me, and I stand up.I want to stay beside her, but I can’t do that now. I throw away the sheets away from my body, before standin
ASTRID.I have never woken up so well before, the sheet smells exactly like him, the room reminds me of him again and his words last night, and just by replaying all of that makes me blush heavily.There are fresh new sets of clothes hanging beside the bed. Did he really do all of this for me? I smile, after my morning routine, and packing my hair into a bun. I creep out of the room, the disappointment of his absence pangs me so much, even though I know that I am not supposed to be affected.But, why does it hurt?He could be anywhere. I sighed, but then I remembered. What am I doing? This was never the plan, never ever the plan.My true plan was to take back my pack, but he’s diverting me away from my plan. An Omega walks over to me, and I wonder if Mrs. Perry is already searching the whole-pack house for me.“Madam Yv has called you to her dining room.” The Omega says, before turning to lead me to the room that Madam Yv is staying in, when I step in. I see Juniper and Diva already s
ASTRID.He saddled the horse and soon we were galloping on the horses.Did he really just suggest riding? I grabbed the white horse’s reins tightly, feeling the wind rush to my face as we galloped faster into the forest.The black horse is faster- Goliath, running wild, Zeke seems to be in control, his hands fastening around the reins. I stare at him, since he’s in front, and I can’t help thinking. How can someone be so perfect?“Clear your mind.” He yells, tapping the reins faster.Maximus, the white horse runs faster now, he’s right, my mind is clearing, just by thinking of the way Mrs. Perry talked to me, or how everyone treats me like trash makes me gallop into the forest.Soon, we stop, and I descend from the horse, there’s a layer of sweat forming on my forehead, and I wipe it away, my chest heaved from the run, just exactly what I needed.Zeke appears from behind, he stares around the huge trees and I do the same. “I come here often.” He says, but I don’t even know he’s talking
