Chapter 14 – Revealed–1
Zara’s POV
“Could things possibly get any worse today?” I growled under my breath as I observed my image in the bathroom mirror. To my relief, the room was empty, and I released the breath I had been holding.
“Zara, what the hell are you thinking?” I questioned myself aloud. “You are going to destroy everything your father and ancestors have worked so hard to achieve,”
I just could not stand the idea of being mated to Alpha Noah. I did some research on Alpha Noah in the days following Levi’s rejection.
I did not find anything pleasant at all. I was right when I said he was after my pack purely for power. I could not tell how much of a jerk he was, but it was enough to send me running,
‘You will need to be honest with your dad,‘ Kaya remarked. He will offer you guidance and support.”
“But when he finds out we lied about all of this, he is going to lose his sh’t, I shot back, terrified at the thought.
The idea of disappointing my father was too much for me to handle. He will be in excruciating pain, and it might even damage our relationship.
“He may be upset or even disappointed, but he will understand,” Kaya tried to reassure me. He always listens to you. You are his silver–eyed girl, and he loves you very muchy.”
I will tell him tonight,” I said. “All I have to do is muster the bravery to inform him.”
I turned on the cold water tap, cleaned my face, and patted it dry with a paper towel. After doing that, I felt somewhat better.
Gazing into the mirror once more, I straightened my blue–wrapped dress, tightened the belt on one side, and slung the scarf around my neck.
“Perfect,” Kaya mused. “You look like a true Luna.”
“That was not my goal,” I said, rolling my eyes in response.
“I know,” Kaya chuckled. “Nevertheless, you have made an attempt to dress appropriately ever since the mating ceremony.”
I was a girl who liked to dress simply in jeans, sneakers, and t–shirts. However, since the mating ceremony, I have been attending meetings all the time, so I have had to work hard to make a good impression.
1 wanted to look my best and make my father proud since he was training us for the Alpha and Luna roles in the pack.
“Let us go hear what the elders have decided,‘ I said to the image of myself in the mirror.
I headed for the bathroom door, and as I stepped outside, the sweet smell of vanilla and honey made my breathing hitch.
Kaya stirs inside my mind, yet she stays quiet,
“I am just going to act like he does not exist,” I muttered at myself, and I headed down the hallway.
Large hands grabbed hold of me as soon as I passed the stairs, encircling my body with one hand and upsetting ing view with the other.
Had Alpha Noah sent a kidnapper to take me hostage?
Oh Goddess, no! Please! This is not how I want to die today!
I struggled against the impostor’s grasp, but his strength was far greater than mine. My heart hammered against my chest as I struggled
I was hauled off, not too far, into a dimly lit little room.
The door closed behind us, and I was released from his powerful arms.
That was my chance. I roared, unleashing my aura as I swung around and sprang forward, my claws extended
Gigantic hands grasped my wrist, drawing me in closer.
“Temper, temper,” the familiar husky voice called out to me, full of humor “All I want to do is talk. You do not have to take any drastic action.”
Alpha Nicholas? I let out a gasp of surprise and pulled back my claws.
In the flesh, be answered, and he slowly let go of my wrists.
“Why did you drag me into this? I questioned, any eyes darting around in confusion. The rous appeared to be a storeroom of sume sort.
I needed to talk to you in private, he calmly said
HIS REJECTED SECOND CHANCE MATE
