Hey Readers! I wanted to inform you all that there won't be a chapter tonight because I am not feeling too well. Also, I read some comments about dragging the book and so. The story just started and I can only ask you all to be a little patient. Besides, this won't be a long story like Ryker and Natalie's book. I am planning on keeping Anne and Zero's story short because I have to move on to a new, separate book. I hope you all bear with me until this book is done. Thanks for Reading and Voting! Love you all! ❤️ ~S.Y
ANNE“ How long are we going to stay silent? ” Giana whispers, breaking the hours-long silence between us.A few hours ago, we left the so-called vampire territory. Zero didn’t ask much. All I had to do was to ask him to take me back and he didn’t utter a word, just grabbed my hand and strolled away.To my surprise, the Vampire King didn’t even try to stop him, stop us all. It seemed like we had a silent agreement that I had guaranteed that I won’t let Zero succeed in his plan if there is one, to begin with.Now, Zio is driving his car back to Ryker’s pack. Zero is sitting in the passenger seat and I am forced to sit in the backseat with Giana.I am so fucking angry at her for almost making me lose my head.“ I am sorry. ” She whispers, gripping my wrist.I shake my head, looking outside the window. We are about to enter the Night Walker pack’s territory. It’s the same as I remembered it.Nothing changed in the last three months here. Only I changed and Zero changed. Or maybe, we were
ANNE“ Giana. How nice of you to show up on your own. ” He lets out in his Alpha tone. “ Cut her some slack. ” I roll my eyes, walking to the desk and slumping on the visitor chair.“ I am sorry, Alpha Ryker. ” Giana sighs, coming to sit on the chair opposite mine.“ Do you realize what you made us go through? ” Ryker states, calmly. “ What if the Vampire King refused to keep his word? What were you going to do then? ” I look at Zio who is looking out the window, his back facing us. Of course, he had to report everything to Ryker. He was not going to lie to his Alpha about anything.Zero must know everything by now too. I stare at him, while he keeps his gaze on the floor.“ I am sorry. ” Giana mumbles in an apologetic tone.“ The Vampire King means no harm. ” I utter to Ryker. “ You don’t need to worry anymore. ” Zero’s shoulders stiffen but he refuses to look up. Why do I have this weird hunch that he knew his father won’t do much to harm Giana, to begin with? Now as I think abou
ANNE Zero’s lips release mine and trail down my throat, and my collarbone. My eyes close on their own as I relish the feel of his lips over my feverish, ablaze skin. He groans, low in his throat, causing my insides to heat up some more. My mind has left my body. All that is left…Zero is trying to suck it out of me. I fist his hair, pulling him closer. All of a sudden, my eyes snap open and land on the tree behind him. ‘ You are getting money for this. So be a good whore and do everything I ask you to do. ’ The words from the past echo in my ears as a wave of nausea hits me hard. Shadows are playing with me again. I never think about the past. I never lose myself to my memories—never dared to do it before but now…I can not stop the guilt and disgust from filling me. Fear starts radiating off me as Zero’s lips pause on my shoulder. He breathes against my skin. I snap out of the daze momentarily and instantly pull my hands out of his soft locks. “ Why are you scared? ” He whis
ANNE The pack has changed a little. There is a new Beta, new Gamma—both are former members of Ryker’s pack. He sent them here, it seems, so he can gain control. Zero called them into the packhouse and then they were in the Alpha’s study, Goddess knows discussing what bullshit now. It’s not like I am even interested to know what goes on here. I hate packs and their hierarchy to begin with. I stayed in the kitchen, first wondering what to cook because I didn’t know what Zero liked to eat. It is shitty that I even thought about cooking for him and even wondered what he liked. I only ever did these two things for Giana and Natalie. Frustrated with my thoughts, I settled for making chicken Parmesan, broccoli salad, and some pasta. Then, I waited until the fucking Beta and Gamma were gone before I made my way to Zero. After saying such weird things to him, it was a little awkward facing him. I waited for a few moments outside the study before I knocked on the door and pushed it open.
ANNE The corner of his lips turns up slightly. He leans in, his face disappearing from my sight and down my neck. I breathe, close my eyes, and prepare myself for the sparky waves of pleasure. Zero’s nose touches my neck, earning a low hiss from me. Slowly, he places his lips on my throbbing vein and suddenly, I am too aware of the heat shooting down to my core. My thighs clench around his waist as he opens his mouth and licks my tingling skin. A small loan escapes my mouth, my hands shooting up to hold his shoulders for support. His grip over my waist tightens until I can feel his fingers digging into my flesh roughly. He closes his mouth around my vein before his teeth sink into my flesh, causing me to throw my head back and moan his name breathlessly. He sucks the trickling blood like a hungry beast. My insides twist, my core grinding over his hardening cock for some kind of relief. The intense desire courses through my veins as my body seems to develop a mind of its own
ANNEI yawn, turning on my back and stretching, only to feel sore between my legs. I swear my body hurts as if I have been working for a week straight without even a break.Zero did fuck me up good.I sigh, opening my eyes and glancing at the empty spot in the bed.He is gone.I bet he stayed until the sun came up and then disappeared to do Goddess knows what.My heart skips a scared beat as I shoot up from the bed without even caring how it hurts to do it. Instantly, I rush to the door of the room and pull it open. Where did he go? The question is threatening to snatch the life out of me. Before I can run down the stairs and look for him, butt naked, he appears before me in the blink of an eye. I gasp and stumble back on my feet to let him stand before me.“ Where did you go? ” I inquire, fiercely.“ I have to go check something out. I was waiting downstairs for you to wake up. ” He tells me.My cheeks heat up as I realize what I might be looking like to him—a fucking deranged and
ZEROI don’t know what’s going through Anne’s head. I know she wants me to give up on my plan of putting myself to sleep but she doesn’t understand—It’s not a plan, it’s necessary.I can’t stay here for long. This is not my world. I am in the wrong place. I found her at the wrong time. For some time, I did think about making this time mine. I learned the ways of this world, I forced myself to keep going in hopes that if I stay alive, I will be able to get back at the people who put me through this, the people who killed my mother. It turns out, I was living a lie—once again.This can never be my world. And my mother is very much alive and breathing.It was only me. I was the only one who suffered. Sometimes, I want to feel self—pity and get over this dull, boring ache in my chest but I can’t. It was my fault, to begin with. If I had control over my bloodthirst centuries ago, the Originals would have never found out about me. It’s all on me, so I can’t feel bad.The only thing I can d
