Zelda "I just can't stand brats."I almost laughed out loud at the comment. I mean he just called Jake a brat. I would love to see the look on Jake's face when he hears that. "So, you punished him?" I pressed. I just wanted to know what he did to Jake. I don't know why but my mind was anxious to find out. I wanted to know what he did.Talking to Drake somehow took my mind off my pain and his humor brought a smile to my face. "I didn't punish him per se," he shrugged. "I just did what a boss should."Hmm. What a boss should do. I wonder what that is and I wonder why he doesn't want to tell me. "Then, how did....." "Tell me about you," he interjected before I could complete the statement. "About me?"Even though I knew that he had purposely evaded my question, I chose to ignore it as I wondered what he wanted to know about me. What is there to know about me? I asked myself. I am nothing but a boring lass with no friends. There is nothing to be proud of about my life and I bet
Jake"Stay here," I ordered as I arrived at Zelda's house with Joshua and Arnold. They both didn't look like they would take the order as Joshua's face was already squeezed upward in an annoying way. I wish I could slap him to return his face to normal. He looked ugly before and just worsened it by frowning so much."The Alpha has asked us not to leave your side." Arnold was the first to speak. "So, you're disobeying me?" I snarled."No, I'm just doing as the Alpha asked." If these two weren't my father's guards, I would have snapped their necks, starting from this annoying Arnold.I don't blame them though, they are only following my father's orders and who better than me knows what the consequences of not following my father's orders are?I stepped out of the car and knocked on the door but there was no response. Out of habit, I raised the foot rug and found the keys right there. "Zelda."I shook my head and smiled at myself. I have told her several times to stop keeping the ke
JakeI watched Zelda walk in with a smile on her face. She smiled so brightly like she wasn’t affected by the problems of the world. She didn’t look like someone that had been insulted earlier today. Her clothes were different from what she was wearing earlier.Did she change her clothes? How?Zelda never takes extra clothes to the store. She doesn’t like to do that. So, how did she get new clothes?Was that why she arrived so late? Did she go shopping for new clothes? But why is she with this arrogant man? Didn’t he say that he is her boss? Why is she here in their house?“Zelda,” I called her, just so she’d notice my presence.“Hi Jake,” She replied with a smile.Seeing her right now, she didn’t look like she had any grudge against me. She was unfazed by my presence. She wasn’t affected at all. If Zelda doesn’t mind my action, why did Cindy say she did? Why did Cindy say that Zelda refused to take her orders because she pissed that I dumped her?Did Cindy lie to me? Or is Zelda putt
ZeldaIt felt like my heart was tearing apart as I saw my mom kissing Drake, I gulped down the jealousy and looked away immediately. I sighed and turned my attention to Jake. "We should go," I said and Jake gave me a skeptical look, I noticed he had his eyes on me and must have noticed. The way I looked at Drake and my mother kissing didn’t go unnoticed. We started walking out of the house and I saw how worried my mother was, she followed us out of the house and stood by the car “Are you sure you don’t want me to follow you?” she asked worriedly “Don’t bother Maddy, we will be fine” Drake said, and my mother nodded even though she didn’t buy his words. We went inside the car, the guards sitting at each edge of the back seat while Drake, and I was in the middle, Jake was sitting in the front and I could see him glancing at me through the rear mirror. I looked away, resting my head in the car seat, I squeezed my eyes shut, and I couldn’t wait to be done with this and go back to my h
DrakeLucas Wayne! My dearest fucking uncle sat on the shamble he calls a throne, his eyes darted around, and they settled on Zelda, his looks were demeaning, and I fisted my hand angrily, barely holding myself from throwing a punch at him. “An urgent matter was reported to me, regarding you and your boss," he said, and I arched my brows at him. Our gaze met, and I wondered if he could see through my facade, but the way he looked at me proved he hadn’t suspected anything, which was good. “My son was harassed and Cindy was forced to mop the floor when you are fully at fault for not attending to her properly, instead of your boss apologizing, he went ahead and picked a fight with the future alpha of this pack who is meant to be respected!” Lucas said and hit his hand angrily at his throne. “Al…alpha” Zelda stuttered and I stepped forward. “Zelda and I are not meant to be blamed for what happened,” I said quickly, and all eyes fell on me. “What do you mean by that? Zelda was being a
Zelda’sThe trunk came to a stop in front of the house, I sighed and stepped down from the trunk with my mother and Drake, the ride was filled with silence and I knew my mother had a lot going on in her mind, we went inside the sitting room and I decided to head to my room.I suddenly heard my mother clear her throat and I tilted my head to look at her “You are not going anywhere young lady, I want to know what’s going on. Why did the alpha summon both of you?” My mother asked, and my gaze fell on Drake who was now quiet.“We shouldn’t talk about this right now Mom,” I said, and she snorted moving closer to me, her eyes darted between me and Drake, before settling her gaze on me again. “We are going to talk about this right now, I need to know what’s going on. So tell me, why did the alpha summon both of you?” She insisted and Drake stepped closer. “Maddy…” my mother cut him short by raising her hand. “I don’t want to listen to any excuses, I want to know what’s going on,” my mothe
Zelda"Who could it be at this hour?"I wondered and chose to lay down, hoping Drake or my Mother would get the door but they didn't. The doorbell rang continuously. I was irritated. I hissed loudly and lazily got out of bed to open the door. To my surprise, I found Joshua and Arnold at the door. The door was wide open and they were standing with their attention set on someone standing before them. I was about to ask what they wanted when I saw Alpha Lucas. He was standing with his back turned to me but it became clear that Joshua and Arnold were here with him. What is he doing here?Did he come here to punish us? He already decided to let things be, so why would he come here at this hour?I went closer, making sure I was walking on tiptoe as I approached them. Drake was standing in front of the Alpha confidently. He passed an envelope to the Alpha who looked stupefied as he opened the envelope. "How did you....."The Alpha was about to speak when he noticed me. He paused and s
Zelda"What the hell are you doing here?" Jake didn't argue, instead, he ran off. "How are you, honey?" My mother came to hold me. "I'm okay, Mom," I smiled. "How was your outing?" I asked immediately to lighten up the atmosphere."That jerk. I can't believe he still has the face to come here." She hissed. "I think Zelda needs to rest. She looks tired." Drake said, his eyes fixed on me. He is my mate after all. He could probably feel my exhaustion. "Yes Mom, I need to rest." I sighed in relief. "Alright dear, goodnight." She kissed my cheek. "Goodnight Mom," I hurried off before she noticed something else. The next morning, I woke up feeling better and light. I went straight to the bathroom and took a quick bath. I dressed myself up in what I'm most comfortable in, jeans and a shirt. I hurried out of the house and headed straight for work.I was welcomed to work by Gina. She was smiling from ear to ear as I arrived. "How are you, girl?" She winked. "I heard that Jake was i
