ZANNICUS: When we arrived at the house, the pack rather, everyone zoomed into their homes and upstairs to no doubt do the tasks I assigned to them. It was four twenty eight so I went directly to the kitchen. Seth's sudden appearance surprised me as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. The event that transpired here hours ago left me on high alert as I felt Seth leaned back against the counter. "So, what was your decision?" I raised my brows in question, "Are you gonna train with us?" I nodded and turned back hearing him sigh quietly, "Yeah, starting tomorrow." "Are you sure you'll be fine?" I smiled feeling my heart flutter at the sound of concern behind those words. "Of course. I can handle myself Seth, don't worry." "Mmm. Okay then. I trust you. Besides, you can definitely handle yourself knowing who you are now." He said as I felt him coming closer to whisper the last part. He continued until he was right beside me. I looked at him as he peered down at me. "But if
SETH: It was quite amusing to see my best friend blushing beet red when he was caught ogling at Zannicus when he came into the room. And it made me smile a bit when I heard him muttering under his breath, 'they're seeing what they're not suppose to see'. I wanted to run up to him and cover him with my shirt but I didn't. It seemed like he wasn't in a good mood. And also because, I felt like I shouldn't. It's like something was stopping me. We were currently at the table eating the food and the guys never stopped teasing Ronan about it. He glared at them but it just sent them into another bout of laughter. I joined in from time to time but stopped when he directed that glare at me. If only looks could kill, we'd probably be 50 feet deep underground by now. I'm pretty he's going to come up with a plan of revenge. I still snickered though as he pouted for the remainder of the evening. After dinner, Nic left to get Zannicus and returned with him and this time with a shirt on. 'Than
ZANNICUS: Eighteen minutes till one and I'm sitting on the edge of my bed, too excited to even take a nap. I look forward to our run, especially since Seth is joining for the very first time! I lay down for a while, wiggling my feet and never looked away from my phone. And just as the clock struck one, a knock resonated through my room, to which I flew up and off my bed rushing to open the door. I beamed and let Seth inside, "You ready?" He nodded, looking just as excited, "Are you?" He smirked and I grinned in reply. "You go first. I'll meet you outside." He nodded and yanked off his shirt. Swallowing, I quickly turned away feeling my cheeks flush. I heard him chuckle followed by ruffling of clothes. I heard bones cracking, groans then a bark. I turned to see him in his wolf form. 'He looks so cute.' His tail wagged before he went to the window and jumped out. I took off my clothes and quickly shifted, taking the time to heave a breath before leaping out of my window and landin
SETH: The three of us managed to return on time and a couple of minutes after Nic and I plopped down on the sofa, Ronan came down. The silly smile never left my face. Nic grinned like a cheshire cat at both me and Zannicus which resulted in Zannie blushing like a tomato while we were on our way back. My wolf kept growling while mumbling something and whimpering then cut me off again. I tried to reach out but he blocked me. Which was the very first time it happened to me. Oddly enough, I feel different while we were making our way back. I wasn't sure if it was a good different or a bad one. My wolf's sudden change in behavior the moment we arrived at the spot where Nic prepared for Zannie's mini birthday party distracted me most of the time. Oh, and Veronica insisted we exchanged numbers since I'm now a part of their inner circle. Which pleased me greatly. And something about her approval left me giddy. Ronan's scent as well as gaze had us peeking an eye open. I was, and still am,
ZANNICUS: The warmth on the back of my neck roused me awake and I took the time to stretch any kinks out before sitting up with a sigh. A glance at my clock showed that I had missed breakfast, and I'm so grateful Alpha Ryder isn't here. I swung my legs over the bed, the chill from the floor was enough to dispell any remaining lethargy from my body. I shuddered, smacking my lips in attempts to remove the dryness in my mouth. Why is it that I'm always like this everytime I wake up? I drank enough water- ohh.....I paused, scratching my neck, 'I went straight to bed after our run and forgot to drink some water.' But still though, I pouted, I always drink water yet I still end up with a dry mouth. I took a shower and changed into black jeans and plain dark blue shirt but not before checking on my bruises and found that they've all healed. While ruffling my hair, I glanced at the clock to find that is was nearly lunchtime. "I'm starving. Ax?" I paused, frowning at the wall, "Are you alr
RONAN: The day passed by pretty quickly and before we knew it, we were already on our way back to the house. I pulled my phone out from my pocket, '3:37 pm'. Enough time to clean up and prepare for my stroll with Zannicus. I told my warriors that we could go home early and to say they were happy would be an understatement, they were actually crazily overjoyed that some even jumped up and down like a kid being handed a new toy. But, I did have my revenge. Let's just say, they won't feel their legs for a couple of hours. "Alpha?" I turned to the voice- Max, one of my best warriors -and raised my eyebrows in question. "Good luck on your date." At that, I managed to humiliate myself by tripping over a rock and they bursted out laughing. "It's not a d-date!" I spluttered indignantly. 'Is it?' I asked no one in particular. 'Yes!' My wolf perked up. Even though I never really made it clear that it was a date. But I did mention a stroll. Is that considered a date? Sh*t. I don't eve
RONAN: It felt good that I finally told him. It's true, I blamed myself for leaving that night, but when I saw my father come out of his room, my heart stopped and I could feel my stomach churn in extreme discomfort. I wanted to go to him, but I couldn't bring myself to. I locked myself in my room for weeks. He held my hand when he reassured me that nothing happened and boy was I glad. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Well, you can release that guilt of yours, because nothing happened. Thanks to you." Tentatively, I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back. I felt him snuggle closer. 'He fits perfectly in my arms.' Eventually, we pulled away but our hands remained entwined as we resumed our trek through the forest. I was inordinately pleased Zannicus even remained close to me. "Are you really not going to tell me where we're going??" He asked with a little smile. I turned to him with a smile of my own, "A little impatient are we?" He just squinte
ZANNICUS: Hot. Too hot. I groaned, tossing around my bed as the sweltering heat seeped out from my body. I gasped and sat up, grimacing upon seeing that my clothes were drenched in sweat. I threw the blanket off in hopes for the cool air to alleviate the hot sensation, but to no avail. If anything, it just intensified causing me to squirm. I curled into a ball but then pain lanced through me causing me to yell out. I felt hot tears welling up in my eyes. My lips felt so dry. I moved to sit up but stopped when another pain flashed through me. I glanced at the clock, 'What?! It's just 12:47 am? What the-....Why am I-....Oh my Goddess. I'm in heat.' I screamed as another ripped through my body, this one I felt climb all the way up my spine! Fisting my blanket, I jumped when multiple bangs sounded through my door. This time, panic ensued my entire being accompanied with me taking heaving breaths. My heart stopped as dread filled me upon hearing low growls and grunts from outside my
