“Here, drink this.”As Beta Zoey brought a carved bowl towards her lips, Zara perceived a pungent smell that made her turn her head to the side.“Ah…” Zoey let out a whispered breath. “I should probably tell you what it is.”Beta Zoey set the bowl on the small bench that was positioned at the end of her bed.Her lips still sealed, a solemn look in her eyes, Zara faced him and all that raced through her mind was her initial perception of the man-wolf.She had found him a person likely to have a deceptive nature and at that moment, Zaramanni wondered if she should continue to trust her earlier judgement.Or, if she could put a little trust in the tall man who had said that he would help her with the softest gesture ever- even if that gesture contradicted his surface personality.Zoey who was squatting covered her hands that rested on her lap.Zaramanni was going to with
The first thing Zara noticed as she walked into her assigned room in the manor was her phone.The device stayed lifeless on the bed, next to a neatly arranged pile of clothes.Recalling that she lost the new bag she got while she was with Alisha, Zara felt ecstatic that the things that reminded her of home were still around. Though she missed her hoodie, Zara was glad she had her phone and tote bag.Zaramanni raced toward the bed and hit the power button of the device, eager to hear that familiar tone and see the image that would remind her of home.While she waited for her phone to boot, her sight travelled to the stack of garments. A closer look at the pile and Zara could deduce that they were about her size.The girl twisted her lips to the side as she recalled that Sham mentioned taking her to a seamstress for new clothes.So, except the seamstress took her body measurements while she was sleeping and magically finished sewin
"I can't believe I forgot to get shoes," Clarissa sounded displeased as she watched Zaramanni struggle with the second leg of the thick socks she brought for her.They were on their way to the library when Zara pointed out how chilly the ground was. Clarissa rushed to a nearby room to get some footwear, but, somehow, she forgot shoes."Are the socks okay?" Clarissa asked, with great worry. "Are they a perfect size? It seems your feet are a little bigger than mine."Soon, Zaramanni planted her covered feet on the ground and she relished how comfortable she was. It was as though the footwear had cushions in them because they made standing more convenient."They fit very well, Clarissa. You don't have to beat yourself up.""If Beta Zoey hears about this, I won't be spared. He specifically told me that he wants you to be as comfortable as possible.""I am sure he won't be that angry," Zara tried to soothe her concerns."No." C
His firm hold around Laura's neck maintained, his lips explored the skin around her shoulder area, and King Darren quickly wondered if Zaramanni made it to the manor and if she had already met Lord Elias.He trusted that the librarian would explain things to the half-fairy.For some reason, he was yet to bring himself to have a conversation with her. And he didn't want to.Ever since the vampire incident, the Alpha had been feeling spiteful. And, each time he recalled that incident and how tiny Zaramanni felt in his hold, a huge ball of resentment settled within him.Darren wanted to believe that it was his raging wolf that was hating the girl.But, he was aware of the feeling in a part of his heart. He started to feel disgust toward the girl even though he was aware that she did not deserve a pinch of such a reaction.“My love… Hmm… Right there,” Laura moaned as she moved seductively o
As Zaramanni walked into her room, she asked herself a question she had never thought of. For the first time, she wondered who her parents were. No doubt, one of them was a fairy, the other a human. But, while growing up with her granny, there was no mention of who her parents were. Nor were there pictures or proof in form of material things that could point out that her parents were ever around. There was nothing that could indicate who they were either. That thought failed to weigh her down. Zaramanni was quick to dismiss it since she wouldn’t be getting answers soon. Zara was about to reach for her phone after shifting the ball of clothes on her bed aside when she felt a sudden tap on her shoulders, the touch making her greatly startled. In the process of spinning her legs, her heart seemed to beat slower but she soon sighed with relief when she saw the person who had asked for her attention. With a little frown on his manly face which was further detailed thanks to his
‘What were you thinking, Zaramanni?’ The shrill voice of the principal reached her ears. ‘You almost killed Gavin!’ Rustling noises followed. ‘What were you even doing with broken glasses?’ Zaramanni looked up, her hard gaze tearing away from her hands which were coated with Gavin’s blood hours ago. When she locked eyes with the principal, the woman whose red-ginger hair was well layered on her shoulders in all of its glow, let out a soft gasp. It was almost as though she could see something in Zara’s eyes that she had never seen before. But, the principal soon composed herself, cleared her throat, sat up, and said, ‘You have to be punished for what you have done. You almost killed Gavin. If not for his kindness and consideration, you will be in jail right now.’ ‘Mrs. Amber,’ Gavin spoke from where he was seated. ‘It is fine. She must have been angered by something. I am just glad I was there to stop her from harming herself.’ ‘Wow.’ The woman had dreamy eyes and she dutifully
“Who are you?” Beta Zoey’s booming voice questioned, his feet approaching the aching scene. The man who was speaking cruelly to Clarissa got on his feet. “I-” Zoey temporarily paid no heed to Andrea whose countenance had quickly changed. After helping Zaramanni off the ground, the Beta's face wore a frown because of a little groan that slipped out of Zara's lips. The way she dearly held the side of her stomach concerned Zoey as well. That display of slight pain caused Zoey to dart flaming glares in the direction of the strange man that had found his way into the manor. “What did you do?” he demanded. “I- I didn’t mean to-” Andrea sighed as he watched the uniformed men who were walking with Beta Zoey help Clarissa. “I was just trying to talk to my mate.” “Clarissa?” Zoey was still closely holding Zara, as though saying he would never leave her unless something forces him to do so. “Yes. I was just trying to have a conversation with my wife who has not been home for days bu
“Zara, I am fine,” Clarissa said weakly. “You can stop watching me so closely. Honestly,” the she-wolf narrowed her eyes, “you are freaking me out.” Zaramanni didn’t leave Clarissa’s hand. She continued to hold it dearly as they waited for one of the guardians. “I just need to make sure you are doing fine,” she replied. “I am moving into your room while I am still in a hospital bed, you will have plenty of time to see if I am doing okay. Now,” she waved the girl away, “take a few steps back and let me breathe.” Zaramanni reluctantly complied but her eyes never left the woman whose bed was positioned in front of her room. They were waiting for the doctor’s instructions concerning Clarissa's transfer into Zaramanni's room. After Clarissa woke up from her long slumber, something in the woman's eyes tugged at Zaramanni's heart. It caused Zara to decide to keep the woman close by placing her hospital bed in her room. Besides, the hospital wing of the manor was too far away, the sor
