Why Are You Here? Zaya POV I regrated not being able to talk to Godric before the ceremony, but we were already running late. From the moment I stepped out of the room, it all went so fast.The ceremony passed by without a hitch. I took the same steps and said the same words that Godric did at his ceremony. That I pledged to be loyal to the Blood Moon pack and its Alpha. Then I proclaimed that I would put the packs’ needs before mine.After the ceremony, Godric pulled me into a room on the first floor of the house while we waited for the Ball to officially start. It was customary for the guest of honor to arrive after the room was at least half full. Since the ceremony was outside near the Alpha’s house, it wouldn’t take long for everyone to walk from the courtyard to the ballroom.Once we were inside the room alone, Godrics eyes wandered across my body. I could feel his yearning for me

After The Party Godric POV I couldn’t wait for the party to end. Zaya and I were supposed to go away for the next three days. The plane was to bond and spend time alone before she started to feel the pressures of being a Luna. I just wanted it to be us. After I killed Evander, we went back into the ballroom as if nothing happened. But it was hard to keep up that act. Zaya still continued to smile and dance but she was no longer warm towards anyone, especially me.Before I killed him, she glanced my way several times. Now I could barely get her to look my way.I could feel her grieving. She breathed deep to keep the tears from forming, but a sheer sheet of water covered her eyes.I couldn’t take it anymore.“Excuse me, everyone!” I shouted and the music stopped. “Me and Luna Zaya are going to retire now. I want to formally thank everyone for coming and joi

For The Pack Part Two Nothing Zaya POV This moment should have been joyous. Cheerful. Maybe even Festive. Happiness should have floated through the air as easily as a lifeless leaf during a brush of wind. As easy as a balloon heading toward the clouds. But it wasn’t. It was nowhere near the occasion I thought it would be. The lack of happiness went hand and hand with the lack of sadness. There was no celebration welcoming the news of our first pup. The news of what we made as a couple. No happy hugs. No kisses beneath the sheets. No smiles from friends or family while we try to wrap our heads around the fact that we were about to be parents. But just like there was no celebrating, there were no angry talks or coldness between us either. No crossed exchanges between what should be a happy couple. No fighting about the right way to handle our problem. And worse, not admitting that this problem between us was an actual problem. I hated re

Not Just A Pack Member Zaya POV When I snuck back into our house, the morning training session had just ended. Everyone had already begun their daily routines. Thus too busy to say anything more than a “Hello” as they passed me. I left Audrey outside when Raven approached with news of her first training session. The girl was a natural, like her sister. She’d knocked some guy off his feet on the second try and I was impressed. We all were. In a few years, she would be a great addition to the guard. I climbed the steps to the third floor where our bedroom and his office were located. Just when I reached the top of the landing, the door to the office opened, forcing me to retreat into my private room. The small office that was at the beginning of our side of the hall. On the Beta’s side of the hall, Alex used the small private room to have small meetings that didn’t require Godric’s presence. And since Godric had his own office, this room became mine. Though I hadn’t thought of what

Alone Godric POVI felt the force of her anger as the door slammed hard when she left me and Alex in the office.Alex sat back in his seat and closed his eyes. “This isn’t going to be easy, Godric.”I mimicked his posture and leaned back with my hands behind my head. “I know. I can’t believe this is how my reign will start.”“It’s one month, brother. I think we can survive one month. Then everything will be right again between you two.” He tried his best to console me.“I hope you are right, Alex. Or else I would have put my relationship at risk for nothing.”“Not just your relationship.” He said and I recalled what else made Zaya angry with me. I asked my brother to keep something this important from his mate. Putting his own happy home at risk.Sure, she’ll forgive him because he is her mate. They are meant to be together. But just because you are meant for one another, doesn’t mean you will be happy all the time.Alex got up to leave me alone with my own thoughts.“Thank you,” I s
