XANDER“I will take my leave,” I uttered and moved away. Silently, I walked out of her room, but she wasn't even bothered. She returned to her phone, while I shut the door.I entered my room and sank into my bed. It was dark, and all that enveloped my mind was Ziva. I somewhat yearned for her scent and touch as I could not sleep.It was past midnight, but the kissing scene kept surfacing in my mind. I am to be blamed, I should have listened to Alexei and asked her for a night. But what if she instantly rejects it?“She is Darwin's daughter, remember?” Maz uttered, and I huffed.“I know,” I rolled my eyes, and reached for a pillow. I hugged it tightly and tried my best to sleep. Luckily, I dozed off.The next morning, the same feeling lingered in my mind. Hold on... We are married. I smirked.“Oh yeah, and you got married to her because you wanted revenge,” Maz echoed.“Yes. Also, I need to play along to get her to open up to me and tell me everything she knows about the Crystal Moon G

ZIVAImmediately I stepped into the kitchen, I jumped toward the sink. Fortunately, there was a bowl of water in the sink. I dipped my finger into the water, intending to make it extinguish the burning, hot feeling.ו×It didn't stop! The feeling didn't stop. I turned on the tap quickly. Allowing water to flow from the tap to my red, swelling finger, I hoped for a change.But...° °; ^ ;There was no change. It intensified the feeling. To be honest, tears dropped from my eyes like it was raining tears. I couldn't control them as the pain continued. I turned off the tap and glared at my finger with my blurry eyes. I'm only doing this for my mother’s release. Will I lose my finger for a mere object?Footsteps echoed behind me. But why do I care? The pain I feel is enough to make me inhale my last breath. I sobbed at that moment, and I saw some hints of blue before me. Alpha Xander, I guess. I raised my finger to his gaze and apologized from the bottom of my heart, with tears

ZIVAMy ears perked up instantly, “Moans?”I turned my body and faced her.Anji nodded, “Yes. It was not loud. But I think it is because I was near the room, that's why I could hear it properly.”I stammered, “Did you find the person moaning?”“Unfortunately, I couldn't. The female seemed to shut her mouth when I was near this guest room.”I heaved a sigh. Perhaps I was the one... Certainly, I was the one, after the messy dream I had and how realistic it felt. I'm certain that if Anji found out that I was the one, she would have given me an earful.“But you know what?” Anji continued.“What?” I asked, a bit nervous that she found out.“I suspect those silly Omegas. I'm sure one of them met with a guard,” Anji replied. Then, I smiled, relieved by her response.“Yeah, it must be one of them,” I nodded. She sprang to her feet, almost leaving and it urged me to ask her questions about the dream I had.“Anji...” I called out with a low tone.“Yes?”“I was thinking about what you narrated

XANDER“Yes, they were. But it was a mistake,” Alpha Darwin replied, and a loud bang echoed.The Alpha who was announcing roared, “Stop your nonsense! We came here to assemble and work together, not pick a fight and scatter!”The Alpha antagonizing Alpha Darwin became quiet, and Alpha Darwin fell silent.The announcing Alpha continued, “As I said earlier, Alpha Nikolas’s pack was attacked. You know, he has been a very good contributor to some pack’s Alpha and it will be great to help his pack while he needs urgent help.”“His pack is good as dead. Is it still possible to save the pack?” An Alpha voiced out.“Yes, it's possible,” The announcing Alpha nodded, “Right now, Alpha Nikolas and a few of his pack members are hiding. However, the Bloodbath pack had surrounded the pack, causing them to be unable to leave because they had only a few warriors with them.”“What a coward...” The antagonizing Alpha sneered silently, “He saved himself, but he could not save the pack. Very irresponsible

ZIVA“I also don't want to be here. Now get up, and get dressed. The Omegas are organizing a party, so you should be prepared,” Anji spoke quickly. Crossing the room, she picked up the soft, fluffy blanket and carried it over to the bed carefully. Draping it over the mattress, she smoothed it out, ensuring that it was perfectly straightened and covered the entire surface.“Party? Why are they organizing a party?” I questioned curiously. Anji turned away from the bed, and replied, “A welcome party for the Alpha’s mate.”“Oh...” I moved away from the bed and approached Anji, “Speaking about that, have Nikolas’s pack been rescued?” “Not yet. The packs that attacked are very strong, they can't surrender to others easily. Even Nikolas and a few of his warriors are in hiding.”“Great, that must be such a relief to Alpha Darwin.”“Pfft... Tania is missing, adding more fuel to the fire. She can't mind link anyone, and possibly, she had been captured by that awful Bloodbath pack.” Anji voice
