Freda POV The weight of recent events finally eases as Zack and I stand outside the mansion, the chaos and danger now behind us. His rightful position as Alpha has been reclaimed, a triumph that carries a sense of relief and closure. As I glance at Zack, my heart swells with pride and admiration for his strength and leadership.“Freda,” Zack’s voice breaks the silence, his expression a mix of curiosity and sincerity, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”I turn to him, my curiosity piqued. “What is it, Zack?”He shifts slightly, his gaze meeting mine. “Back Before when I offered for you to stay at the mansion with me. You declined, and I respected your decision, but I can’t help wondering why.”A small smile tugs at the corners of my lips. Zack’s directness is one of the things I have always appreciated about him. “It is not that I do not want to, Zack. Your offer meant a lot to me, especially after everything we have been through. But the truth is, everything happened so fas

Zack POVLiving in the mansion with Freda has infused every corner of these ancient halls with a new vitality. It’s no longer just a place of history and tradition; it’s a living, breathing testament to the love and connection that has bloomed between us. As I watch her move about the mansion, her laughter echoing through the hallways, I’m reminded of the profound impact she’s had on my life.I would never forget the moment she called, her voice carrying a mixture of determination and vulnerability. The phone call had been a surprise, catching me off guard. But as she spoke the words, “I want to take you up on your offer. I want to come and live at the mansion,” my heart had raced with a wild mixture of emotions.There was joy, undeniably, the exhilaration of knowing that she was choosing to be closer to me, to share her life with me in a more intimate way. But there was also a twinge of nervousness, a fear that I couldn’t quite place. It wasn’t doubt about my feelings for her; those

Freda's POVI and Zack were at creeks close to a small stream. We were out on a picnic. Zack said it has been a while since we spent time together. I was so excited. It was a breath of fresh air. I had been so busy and engaged these past weeks. It has been fun though. Hanging out with the women and the children has been a wonderful experience. I have not associated with that much people outside the hospital in a very long time. I had always lived a secluded lifestyle. I had no one to talk to except Darren and my best friend— former best friend, Ruby. Then there was Zack that filled a vaccum Darany and Ruby created when they both hooked up. Apart from Zack, I never had friends or aquintances of my own. The women of the red moon pack had a lot to teach me. From their local dishes to their traditional songs and dances, it was a wonderful experience. I had such a fly time with the kids too; I have always loved children. I would like to have mine someday so I build my own little famil

Zack’s POVI kissed Freda goodbye at the door to her room. I took a minute to breath. That was a close one, I thought, I almost lost control of everything. I was very close to mating Freda. With how deep we are in our relationship, I would have marked her. I would have claimed her without her consent. Although I want her so bad, I need to get it right. I want her to be ready for the next level. I am ready for the next phase of our relationship, but I need her to be so as well. I treasure what we have so much to loose it. I walked towards my room which is right next to Freda’s room. A yawn escaped my lips. My body was a bit tired. From the picnic to the intense moment I and Freda had at her place, I needed a cool off. A shower will do the job, I thought. I took off my jacket. Something fell off. Squinting, I wondered what it was that had fallen off. I saw it was a note. Reaching down to pick it up, I remembered Ruby slipped something into my pocket. I did not check what it was at t

Zack’s POV I went to back to the mansion and called for Jack, the leader of the warriors. He came in after some minutes. “Greetings, alpha.” He saluted. “At ease, soldier.” I said “Any lead on the search for Kaine and Darren?” I asked. “We have searched the eastern and western perimeter fully but still no sign of either of them.” He said. “We have caught traces of them in two different locations but by the time we arrived ,it seemed they had long departed from there.” He added. I had just returned from Ruby’s place. I had confronted her about the note she left me. She claimed she knew about Annie. But Annie is dead, I thought. What is all this rumor going round that she is alive. If she were alive, I would feel her somehow. But her presence is still same. Dead to me since I was told she died. Could it be possible that she is alive? I was having mixed feelings about it. A part of me will be happy that she is still alive but another part of me is worried about the effect it will
