The journey was long, but Zique did not get tired, he made it back in less than an hour, kicking stones, redirecting branches and delving so deep in his thoughts.He thought about his pack, his curse, about an heir...but what he thought of most, was his supposedly mate. He wasn’t sure what he was to do with her. Now that the curse was no longer haunting him, was he to sink his claws into her neck?He didn’t need her anymore and her existence wasn’t important since she really had nothing to live for. He should kill her, shouldn’t he?That would probably be best.Walking through the widely open wooden gate that lead to his front door, he sighed. He wondered if Gabe fell asleep while watching her or if he had already cursed the sh*t out of her for disturbing him. He didn’t like noise and he hated corresponding with people he didn’t know. Zique didn’t know how he became friends with such a weird man, but according to the goddess, anything was possible.Twisting at the silver knob, he pus
Kiara looked up from her seat on the floor, her eyes floating to the door when steps approached it. She knew it was him, but she didn’t want to see him, not now, she didn’t want to see him ever. For the whole day she had avoided him, she walked around the yard until her feet got tired and even then she sat outside on the porch until the afternoon turned into evening. And now she was in her room, hiding in the furthest corner from the door and yet he came to disturb her. The knob on the door twisted, then the door was pushed open and in front of it stood her tormentor for the past years. “Come down for dinner.”Kiara hugged her knees and turned away from him, not uttering a word.“It’s fine if you don’t want to come, if you starve that’ll only save me from killing you myself.”He stepped away from the doorway and as he walked away, the door closed on its own accord. Kiara watched it, sighing pitifully at herself. See? She knew it, he was going to kill her, it was just a matter of time
Kiara’s shaking legs took her down the stairs fast and she headed towards the front door with even more speed. The evil alpha was distracted, she just needed to cross the borders her mother always warned her about, she just needed to move fast.There was nobody to stop her and she’d die if she stayed and even if she got caught running away. She couldn’t just sit and wait for death, not when she wanted to live.Kiara grabbed the door knob, twisting it and pulling the door open. The darkness outside caved her immediately and without hesitance she stepped off into it. Her heart was beating so hard that the beats felt like steps against her chest. She was scared, fear scourged her entirely; her mind, her body, her heart.And her fear was slowly starting to devour her. She felt like turning back, but what would she do to stop him from killing her?Begging would not help, he didn’t look like the type who could feel sympathy and she had nobody to exchange their lives for hers this time. She
Through the woods Kiara was dragged, her bare feet sore against the earth’s surface. The night gown he held onto as he pulled was torn right open, revealing everything her mother had taught her to hide.Tears...so much of them ran down her cheeks and blood tainted her chest. She was scared, especially since she didn’t know where he was taking her. It wasn’t anywhere nice, it didn’t take a fool to know that, the anger in his eyes was so obvious, even in the darkness that reigned around them.And because of that, Kiara’s legs wouldn’t stop quivering, her lips too. She shouldn’t have provoked him, she shouldn’t have stepped foot pass the boundary he set. She should’ve listen to him and not her heart, she should’ve...she should’ve just stayed.A sob climbed up her throat, escaping through her mouth and somehow it caught his attention. “Shut up, shut the f*ck up this instant!”Kiara stiffened, her lips pursing as she tried to hold in her cries.“Everything that has been happening is becaus
Zique marched to the back of the pack house where the elders stayed and he didn’t even greet them before he started to speak.There were five of them in total seated on the porch, none of them the one he wanted to speak to. “Where is Elder Jacob?”“He’s...”The door to the inside was pulled open, revealing the man Zique came to see. “I’m here.”“May I have a word?”The man opened the door wider, his walking stick peeking through even before his head. He didn’t seem scared of Zique despite the anger that was oozing out of him.Slowly he made his way outside, leading Zique away from the other elders before starting to speak. “I presume you’re here because of the curse I revealed to you years back?”“Yes, you are right. I found my mate, I even marked her...why is it that the curse isn’t gone?”“You’ve found her, but does she even want to stay? I know who your mate is, I dreamt of her last night and I knew I’d be seeing you today. You thought the curse of the goddess would be so easy to b
Kiara sat in the corner of the room, the blanket draped tightly around her as she looked around.Her body was still shaking and even now fear consumed her. When the alpha got back, he’d surely kill her...she didn’t have to ask anybody, she could tell on her own.Gabe, the man who had offered her the blanket was still here and the other one was now seated at the edge of the bed. They had spoken of things that Kiara did not understand, but not once had they disrespected her.They kept looking at her with eyes that held concern. They were worried about something and it wasn’t just her wellbeing. She could see it in their stare, something wasn’t right and perhaps she was the very reason.Holding the blanket tighter, Kiara looked away from them. She felt uncomfortable, the fact that they had seen her in such a situation made her feel ashamed. If it weren’t for Gabe, the alpha would’ve probably murdered her already and if it weren’t for the other guy’s hospitality, she’d still be outside an
As Kiara walked through the familiar gates, a tremor ran down her spine. She was back at this place again, she was back under his control, under his restrictions. From now on, she couldn’t step foot outside that gate again. She’d be stuck here until he decided it was time to kill her. More tears fled her eyes as he hauled her towards the door. She didn’t want to go, she’d do anything to not go...she wanted...she wante... “I want...I want to go back to the d-dungeon...please.” “What did I tell you?” “That...that I d-didn’t have a choice.” “And why do you think you have one now?” he twisted the knob on the door, shoving it open, revealing to her what she considered hell. “You still don’t have a choice, you’ll be staying here as long as I want you to.” He pulled her inside and as the door closed behind her, Kiara realized that she really had no choice. He had taken her choices away from her since the moment he marked her...and she hated it. Conceding to his steps, she found herself
Flames blazed from the fire that was lit between Kiara’s legs and the fire that had not too long ago ignited in the pit of her stomach was spreading, burning everything in its path.Her skin felt hot...just like the last time...it seems that thing the alpha had described as heat was back again...And... and she wanted... Kiara hugged her body that was still soaking in the water. His scent was so strong, stronger than it’s ever been...she wasn’t sure why, but it was calling out to her and she wanted to go...badly.But her fear of him was what was stopping her. She still couldn’t understand herself, how could she crave his touch when he had done so many bad things to her?This wasn’t right...even if he was her mate, that still wasn’t enough to make this right.This need to go to him, she had to ignore it, this want that resided inside of her she had to get rid of it, she had to...Kiara whimpered when the flames within her grew even more...his scent was intoxicating especially since ev
DAMION'S STORY “Get out…someone will be here soon…” “But I~” Damion glared over at the pack member who laid almost breathless beside him. He knew it was a possibility that she hadn’t yet recovered from the roughness he had bestowed upon her, but he didn’t care. He didn’t force her into his bed, she came willing and so she should go out willingly as well. “Did I by any chance ask you anything? I said to get out, you’re supposed to do just that, not talk back.” “I’m sorry Gamma, it’s that…my legs…they’re…” “Just go…” The omega that he failed to get the name of stood to her feet, her watery eyes glancing down at her shaking legs. There were bruises all over her body, red marks that gave away the fact that her life was not much long ago f*cked out of her. Her neck which he had squeezed so tight was plentiful red, her wrists which he had held above her head and even her hips that he had hooked onto while he hammered deep into her. He was sure she saw stars tonight, poor thing probably
Zique looked down at the crowd of people in front of him. He was standing on the podium, Kiara beside him and between them was elder Jacob. The crowd was silent, looking up with anticipation in their eyes.They had all been waiting for this, but Zique had waited far longer than they had. He was eager, his anxiousness was far too high. He had wanted this moment for so long, and now that it was finally time for it, he wasn’t even sure how to act.His lips were wobbling to stretch into a happy grin, but his pack was watching, and he’d seem too stupid in front of them. He had to keep the bliss he felt in, they couldn’t know just how fast his heart was beating right now and just how nervous he was.Kiara was going to mark him tonight, her mark was going to be on his neck and their bond would be much stronger than it already is. Three months had passed since their first appointment with the doctor and now Kiara was five months pregnant. Her baby bump was the cutest, she had put on weight, h
Zique held Kiara’s hand as they headed down the path towards the pack hospital. The woods were quiet since there was nobody else here, nobody but the trees and the animals that lived within and below them. The narrow patch of grass beneath their feet was trampled and dry, making it different from the healthy ones that grew beside it. It was really what defined their path because this particular section of the forest bed was dead due to how many times it had been stepped on.Zique’s steps were slow, Kiara’s too, they were both basking in the comfort of their company, the pack hospital wasn’t too far away from them, but Zique was probably the only one ecstatic to get there.Kiara on the other hand was still nervous about the results she was about to get. It was stupid, but she had her reasons. Zique had told her his story, told her why he had always wanted a son…and if she really couldn’t grant him one, why were they even mated?But what if there’s a chance that she had a child and it t
“He’s finally gone for goddess’ sake!” “You told him to leave…that’s why…” “What? Didn’t you want to be alone with me like I wanted to be alone with you.” Kiara looked over at him, her fingers fumbling the blouse she wore. “It’s not that…you see…Damion’s already so sad. So I thou~” Kiara paused when Zique shuffled even closer to her, his arm brushing against hers. “You thought?” “I thought…well I…I wanted t-to make him feel~” Zique twisted towards her, grabbing her waist and lifting her onto his lap. “Turn towards me.” Kiara’s hand gripped onto the thin material instead of just fumbling it, her legs reluctantly as she adjusted herself to face him. “Continue now, you wanted him to fell what?” “To f-feel comfor…” Kiara’s lips wobbled, her face going red and she could do nothing but hide it against his chest. “W-Why?” Zique’s arms hugged around her, pulling her even closer to him. “Why what?” “Why am I here…? On…on you when there’s a couch here.” “That’s obviously because I w
Zique walked into the house, trying his best to totally forget about what Gabe said. Kiara was already his, and more over, she would always be his. Was that why he pitied Gabe?He was five years older than Zique and yet he hadn’t found his mate, and now the first person he had ever showed feelings for was already taken. It wasn’t his fault, so Zique couldn’t really blame him…he probably fell when he least expected it.After all, Gabe wouldn’t be stupid enough to have willingly fell in love with someone he knew he couldn’t have. As he said just now, ‘the heart wants what it wants’, and it was true, for his seemed to have reached out for her.Zique could only hope that what he said after that was just as true ~that it wasn't hard to get over her~ because what else could he do but hope? He couldn’t condemn his best friend, couldn’t shun him…and he couldn’t hate him for something like this either.They’ve been through too much…and that was exactly why he didn’t want to bring up the fact t
“I won’t tell her.”“Well, I won’t f*cking tell her either.”“It’s better if you tell her.”“Zique can tell her his f*cking self!”Kiara stared at Gabe and Damion, squinting her eyes in confusion. Zique left a minute ago to get her strawberries and she was now in the care of these two. “Tell me what?”They looked at each other, then over at her, both shrugging at the same time. “Nothing…we’re not talking about you.” Gabe grumbled.“I know you were talking about me, you kept glancing my way.”“Well, that’s because…it’s because~”“No Gabe! Don’t let her force it out of you with that pretty look on her face.” Damion threw his arm over Gabe’s shoulder, turning him to face away from her. “We won’t tell you, Kiara!”Kiara tilted her head, delving even deeper into confusion. They were acting weird, weirder than usual. “What’s wrong with you two?”“Ask Zique…he knows.”“But…but…why can’t you tell me?”Gabe pushed Damion’s arm off of him and with a sigh, he took a seat beside her. “It’s nothi
“I want to talk first…about that ‘them’ you mentioned earlier.” Zique almost faltered at her words and somehow fear started to cave his heart again. Would she accept it? It was a question he couldn’t stop himself from asking. Nevertheless, he took a seat at the edge of the bed, running his hand down his face in frustration. He shouldn’t run from the truth any longer. She was already carrying his child, there’s nothing either of them could do about it now. Sighing he turned to face her. “You’re pregnant…” “M-Me…?” Zique’s fingers twitched, his nervousness becoming palpable. “I know you might not want this or rather, I know you might not want to have my child, but yes…you are…you’re pregnant with my child.” Kiara looked down at her covered stomach, confusion in her eyes. “But the doctor sa~” “The doctor lied.” “Then…Then~” “I know, I was a bastard to you because of that and I’m sorry. Instead of my pack that doesn’t care about me half as much as you do, I should’ve chosen you.
“I’m…I’m tired Zique…”Zique rammed into her again, hands holding tight to the gloves of her ass as she held onto him with both her arms and legs. “I know princess, this is the last round, I promise…”“Y-You said that a while ago.” Her finger scraped violently across his back, the tears from her eyes streaming down his shoulder. “It’s too much…”Zique sighed, his thrusts slowing to a stop. “I really promise it’ll end this time…I just don’t want to let you go…what if I do only to find out that you won’t want me again after this.”Kiara lifted her head off his shoulder to look at him, her back pressing against the wall behind her. “I will…”“Promise?”Kiara’s hands cupped his face as she nodded. “I promise…”“Alright, you promised…you can’t tell me you hate me anymore, you can’t tell me that you won’t forgive me, you promised…everything has gone back to normal, I can hold you if I want, I can kiss you and you won’t get upset.”Kiara nodded with a chuckle. “Yes, I know. You’re acting so
Kiara’s face pressed against the table as Zique’s hand sunk into her back, forcefully arching it. “Like this, Kiara…” His hand then ran down the length of her back, straight to her thighs, spreading them. “You look so sexy right now…” Kiara felt it when he pressed up against her and his hard on settling at the edge of her entrance surely not going unnoticed to her. Her cheeks flushed even redder, her body mentally preparing for what was about to come. “Are you ready, princess?” Kiara nodded, her legs trembling in need. She wanted him so bad that it ached, and now that it was finally going to happen, now that the pleasure she had awaited was so close, she could think of nothing but it. Her anticipation was at its peak, her desperation too, and the desire was running abundantly wild inside of her. “Hurry up…” Zique leaned down, his body pressing against hers. “You’re being impatient too…” Kiara could hear the smirk in his voice, he was teasing her, riling her up to a point where sh
