After his banter with Bellona, Zephyr walked back to his office angrily and kept on pacing back and forth.What would he do with Bellona? She was hell bent on frustrating him and she was doing a great job at it. How was he going to survive with her and her stubbornness.Zephyr didn't know what to do. He had never been this confused in his entire life. He needed to learn how to keep his emotions in check whenever he was around her as she knew his weakness and he was sure she'd use it against him. He decided that he'd try to be immune to her so that her attempts to frustrate him will be futile. Zephyr heard a knock on the door and quickly put himself together. He didn't want anyone to see him in that state. "Come in" He said in a low voice. He didn't need to be loud for the person on the other side of the door to hear him as werewolves had incredible hearing.The door opened and Jake walked in. He then moved to where Zephyr stood."Lucian is fine, he has calmed down but I doubt it'l

Bellona's anger grew. He didn't even feel remorseful, even if he did, she still wouldn't forgive him but she was annoyed that he kept acting arrogantly despite what he did to her.She tightened her fingers around the scalpel that she hid in her hands. She had collected it from Chris when he wasn't looking.She had had enough of him and was tired of seeing him acting all cool when he was the reason she was an orphan. She bit on her lips, refusing to cry. She was never going to cry in front of him. She was never going to let him see her as weak."Unless you're scared of my punishment. You coward!" He said mockingly. This was his last resolve and he prayed it worked. It did because the next moment, Bellona's face darkened and her body shook in rage. "You murderer, you killed my parents!" She roared and launched at him with the scalpel in her hands. Though she knew that a mere scalpel won't be able to kill him but she still wanted to inflict an injury on him.Zephyr's world stopped when

Lance woke up from his sleep and then went straight to shower. He needed to clear his mind but whilst still showering, his mind went to her, his thoughts drifted to Bellona. She had been the one occupying his mind since days. He thought of her while eating, while driving and some times, he saw her in his dreams.He actually wanted to just have fun with her but now she was controlling his mind. He had been waiting for her call since he gave her his business card but he didn't receive any. He didn't have her contact else he would have called her.He had never felt this way in his entire life. All the ladies he had flings with in the past were the ones who chased him. He had never done the chasing but with Bellona, it was different. She didn't seem interested in him and all his attempts to woe her didn't impress her but instead of him to feel discouraged, he kept thinking of her. He was hooked! Though he knew she wasn't his mate, he didn't mind taking things to another level because he

As Zephyr heard her words, he frowned. Was he that bad? Did she hate him that much?"I'm sorry" He apologized even when he knew that a simple apology couldn't bring back her parents but he still did. He couldn't remember killing her parents but the deed had already been done. He just wanted to make things right with her. She was the first person that he had ever apologized to and he didn't mind. He didn't mind it as long as she'd forgive him.Bellona looked up at him in shock. She didn't expect him to apologise out of nowhere. It left her speechless."I'm sorry for everything I've done. If you could give me the chance, I'll make things right." Zephyr said sincerely. He didn't know what came over him but what he knew was that he had tucked in his emotions for song long and now, it was overflowing. He couldn't control himself."I- I" Bellona stuttered, her mouth unable to form coherent words. His sudden apology sounded so sincere that it threatened to break the walls she had taken years

The mate ball was the most boring experience of Zephyr's life. He couldn't count how many times he yawned and everytime he looked up, his eyes met with the fluttering eyelashes of the ladies. It made him cringe.After what seemed like an eternity, the event finally came to an end and the elders asked him to pick the top five ladies."Pick them yourselves. I trust your judgement" He said lackadaisically. He wasn't even interested. He couldn't even remember the names of the girls talk more of picking the top 5.The elders smiled happily when they heard Zephyr's faux praise, they were glad that Zephyr trusted their decision, then they proceeded to pick out the ladies. The ones who weren't chosen bawled their eyes out while the ones that were picked screamed and smiled widely. They were happy that they were a step closer to being Zephyr's mate. If only they knew that the man in question didn't give a damn about any single one of them."Make yourself comfortable in the pack. You'll be stay
