Zoey's POV“What are you doing?” Nora asked. “What I should have done a long time ago,” I responded, holding Alpha Ethan's gaze.“Reject me, Alpha Ethan,” I demanded, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he held my gaze with a mixture of emotions.“Very well then, I'll start,” I said and took a deep breath. “I, Zoey Elkanah, reject you, Alpha…”“I reject your rejection,” he interrupted, causing a big frown to appear on my face. “I won't reject you, not now or ever,” he declared and moved closer to me, standing just a few inches away.I stared at him with anger and hate as memories kept replaying in my head. “And what do you think you are doing, Alpha Ethan?” I asked, but he didn't respond. He simply continued staring at me."Excuse me, my king, but your guests have started arriving," a guard announced.With a frown, I shifted my gaze to Lord Adrian, who was getting to his feet. “We have to stop all this. It's my birthday party, at least don't make a fuss," he said, staring directly at m
Alpha Ethan’s POV"Why did you keep this from me?" I turned and faced Adrian as soon as Zoey left."I did what I thought was right, Ethan. Zoey was not in the right frame of mind to see you all these years. You don't even know what she went through to become the woman you are seeing today," he said, causing me to furrow my brow because I didn't understand what he meant."What are you saying?" I asked, and he sighed, standing before me. "We will talk about it later, but right now my guests are arriving, and I need to welcome them." He gently tapped my shoulder before leaving.With a groan, I kicked a chair away and hit my fist against the wall.I was angry at myself and the circumstances I had found myself in, but mostly, I was furious at my wolf."Now you can speak, Leo?" I asked my wolf in rage. "For six fucking years, you were silent, all because of one rejection." I groaned. "Because of your silence, I couldn't recognize Zoey as my second chance mate." I yelled at my wolf and heard
Alpha Ethan's POVI watched as she smiled and interacted with the guests, particularly the desperate men who surrounded her like flies. They were all vying for her attention, and their intentions were clear. With a frustrated sigh, I took a long sip of my drink and spotted my son amidst a group of children.I couldn't take my eyes off him. He looked so much like me, and deep down, I knew he was mine regardless of what Zoey was saying. Still fixated on him, I made my way toward him, but as soon as he noticed me approaching, his smile turned into a frown."Hey," I greeted him with a wave, attempting to appear friendly. His frown deepened, and he spoke hesitantly, "Mother says I shouldn't speak to you."I sighed and squatted down in front of him. "Did she give you a reason for it?" I asked, hoping for some clarity. He shook his head. "She didn't give a reason, but I believe she has a good one," he replied. I sighed and looked into his eyes, seeing my own reflection. He was my spitting im
Alpha Ethan's POVI walked back into the hall and saw couples dancing on the stage, but the one who caught my attention was Zoey dancing with a man. His hands were wrapped around her waist while her hands were placed on his shoulders as they danced to the soft melodious song. Watching her dance with this man brought back a pleasant memory."Where is Zoey? I can't find her in her room," I asked Charity, who gulped before responding. "She is outside in the garden," she replied, and I furrowed my brow. "Outside in the garden under this heavy rain pour?" I asked, and Charity nodded. "This woman," I groaned and stepped outside the mansion.The rain was pouring heavily, which made me wonder what she would be doing in the rain. As I made my way through the pouring rain towards the garden, my mind raced with concern for Zoey. Why would she be outside in this weather? I couldn't understand her actions, but I knew I had to find her and bring her back inside.As I approached the garden, my heart
Zoey's POVI paced around the room as I contemplated what to do. Alpha Ethan had seen us, and by the look of things, he won't back down, no matter how hard I push him away."Damn it!" I grunted and sat on the bed.Six years ago, this was all I wanted, for him to recognize me as his mate, but he never did. And now that he did, things aren't the way they used to be.A knock came on the door, and I gestured for the person to come in. The door opened, and a female servant walked in. "Good morning, my lady. You have a visitor," she said, causing me to furrow my brow. "And who might that be?" I asked."Alpha Richard from the Earth pack," she said, while I sighed and gestured for her to leave. Without being told, I knew why he was here, just like the others.Taking a deep breath, I left my room and walked to the throne room, where I assumed he would be. But when I got there, he wasn't the only one I met. Alpha Ethan was also seated, causing a big frown to appear on my face."Here she is," Al
Zoey’s POV I felt a weight pressed to my bed, which forced my eyes opened to see Alpha Ethan lowering himself on me. “Go back to sleep.” He instructed and obediently I did as he instructed.As I closed my eyes, I felt him take out the duvet covering my body, sending cold shivers to brush my skin.With my eyes still closed. I felt him lift the hem of my nightgown and fuck, I wasn’t putting an underwear.I heard him grunt and felt his hot breath fan my pussy.I tightly shut my eyes when I felt him sucking on my pussy, nibbling and biting on it.“Gosh!” I exclaimed when he used his tongue to brush my clit. I couldn't help the feeling of sensation that coursed through my veins. I wanted more and more.He forcefully tore my nightgown with his hands, exposing my boobs.As he sucked my pussy, his hand found my breasts and he started massaging my nipples. I moaned and didn’t dare to open my eyes despite the overwhelming feeling. As he sucked harder, I was literally losing my senses. I clenc
Zoey's POV“You must be joking!” I yelled with clenched fists. “Who the hell do you think you are? Why do you think you will always have your way?” I asked and saw him go silent for a moment before taking a step closer to me.“Zoey, can you just give me a chance to right my wrong…"“Never, Alpha Ethan! I don't want to be here, and I don't want to see you. Let us go!” I yelled and saw his expression tighten.“I won't let you leave. You are my mate and the mother of my son.”“Jaya is not your son!” I yelled. “He is mine alone!” I yelled and saw him calmly remain silent, angering me even more. “Just let us go,” I demanded, but he shook his head. His intense gaze held mine.“Never, Zoey. I have found the family I always wanted, and I won't let it slip out of my sight.” He declared those words as a vow, which made me shut my eyes, so I could suppress the anger boiling inside me.After a moment, I opened my eyes and held his gaze, which was calm, as if my outburst was having no effect on hi
Zoey's POVThe door opened, and he angrily walked in. I watched him pace around the room and wondered what was wrong. He looked worried and angry, and whenever he's in this mood, it scares the shit out of me.“You,” he turned and held my gaze. “It's been three months now. What is keeping you from getting pregnant?” He uttered in an angry tone that scares the shit out of me even more.“What is wrong with you?” He asked, and I couldn't respond, scared that it would anger him even more.“If you know what's good for you, you better get pregnant, or I'll fuck you until you pass out,” he yelled and stormed out.A droplet of tears fell on my cheek as I slowly opened my eyes. All these memories were in the past, but I kept having them in my thoughts. They keep playing in my head, no matter how hard I try to wipe them off.“Zoey, all that is in the past. You are no longer that naive girl," I muttered those words to myself and got up on my feet.I took the stairs to the living room and met Jaya
