Zion

I was able to escape from Annie. She's been all over me since she saw me. It's so annoying. She's always like that around me and I made it clear to her that I don't want her. Moreover, she has a mate somewhere so why try to glue herself to me.

They all want fame and I seem like their perfect target since I'm a high ranker. She won't be the first and also won't be the last. I fixed up my shirt and then made my way upstairs. Exactly where Ella went through.

I began my search for her. I could see the sore look in her eyes the moment she saw Annie beside me. That just shows that she feels some kind of pull towards me and I'm glad. It's always hard to know how humans feel especially when they are our mates.

I keep wondering why was I given a second chance to have a mate? Why does it have to be a human but I don't mind ....really? She's beautiful and does seem mysterious. There is something about her that is so skeptical.

I opened the first door to my left but saw no one there, I did the same with the second and two werewolves were in there having a nice time. They both screamed at the sight of me. I close the door instantly.

I let out a sigh frustrated already. Where could she have gone to, just when I was about to open the last door, a voice stopped me?

" Are you looking for me ?"

How can I miss that voice? A smirk on  my face "Ofcourse love"

She stared at me with a smile . For a moment I thought she was drunk. My little kitten moved forward slowly without breaking eye contact with me " Here I am "

I love the games she's playing " Don't play too much love. You might end up losing " I said tracing her face with a finger.

She bite the finger slightly when it landed on her lips " Who said something about playing a game "

My wolf let out a sigh. How can she do this to me  so easily? I swallowed hard.

She smirked, " So tell me, why were you looking for me ?"

" I ...I

" Don't be scared, I won't bite" she said smugly

I snorted " Did you think you won" I moved close to her, wrapping my arms around her waist " You don't wanna play games with me sweetheart"

She also wasn't backing down. She trailed her hands down my chest sending shivers all my body. God have mercy.

" Tell me what you want. I know you want something from me " she whispered staring into my eyes.

I was quiet for a second then said

" you"

****

Ella

I thought I was dreaming when he said he wanted me. Does he feel the pull too? I held onto his shirt ready for the worst. I know I'll regret this. But I hope I don't.

I kissed him hard on the lips leaving him speechless.

Zion smiled into the kiss and before I knew it he opened the door and directed inside with me wrapped around him.

" Calm down sweetheart. This shirt cost more than you can imagine " I knew he was teasing me but I still showed him how annoyed I was.

" Oh hell no, are you always this cocky?"

" Only to someone ready to have their way with me," he said and my face turned red from embarrassment.

" I was not trying to have my way with you"

" Then tell me what you're doing right now exactly," he said with a brow raised.

" Gush you're insufferable," I said trying to pull away from him but he held on tight to my waist.

" Where do you think you're going ?"

" Far away from you"

" Sweetheart you going to end what you started, you can't go away just like that," he said then claimed my lips.

I know I look all flustered but who cares. I either enjoy this moment while it lasts.

" Do you want this ?" he asked.

At first, I was confused then realization dawn on me. I didn't wanna look desperate but I nodded nevertheless.

He nodded and claimed my lips again. The sparks were too much to bear, I sighed slightly as he found my soft spot on the neck.

Usually, I hate it when guys kiss on my necks especially when they leave a hickey.

He smirked " You are beautiful, you don't need to be shy in front of me. I love what I see"

My face was so red from embarrassment, I've never allowed a guy to go as far as seeing my body. The farthest a guy has gone with me is kissing and hugging that's all.

" I...i

" Calm down sweetheart, you have the most beautiful body ever which made me mad that I'm not the first person to see this "

What does he mean? Of course, he is the first.

I guess he saw my confused face so he asked " Am I?"

When he saw how hesitant I was, a smile broke his face " You've got to be kidding me !"

I couldn't move nor do anything, I waited for him to say all he needed to say before I can do anything.

" I'm the luckiest man alive then. You don't know how happy you just made me, I'll make you experience something that only I can make you experience. You are mine now sweetheart and no one else's

I didn't want to think too deep into what he said. All I just want to do is to have a nice night and forget it all happened tomorrow in the morning. Only if this beautiful moment would continue forever.  I think I'm beginning to like him. I slept with a happy smile on my face .

ELLA

I moaned softly enjoying my sleeping posture. I felt a hand wrapped around my waist making my eyes snap open. I was in an unfamiliar room, where was I?.

I tried all my best to pry the hand off me. The event of what transpired last night came rushing back to me. I had a one-night stand for the first time in my life. I could still feel the pain in between my legs.

A blush crept up my face. Last night was heavens, I've never done this with any man before. Zion was so gentle with me. I had thought he'll be rough but he proved me wrong. Gosh, what is this man doing to me ?.

I was still naked from under the duvet. I sat upright gently not wishing to wake him up, Zion groan a little when he felt my absence but he didn't wake up. He looks peaceful when he sleeps. I stared at his beautiful face sadly. This will be the last time we'll meet. I need to run off before he wakes up.

I got down from the bed and went to clean myself up in the bathroom. I was so fast about it just so he won't wake up and still find me here. I wouldn't want him to see my bed hair ,guys like him will never date someone like me. I know this is a one-time thing for him so it's better I don't fall too deep for him.

I put on my clothes and held my heels in my hand. I tiptoed out of the room, closing the door gently behind me. I let out a sigh when I finally got outside.

The hallway was clear of people. I wonder where Stella slept last night. Did she look for me at all? I went down the stairs before dialing her number. She wasn't picking her calls. I groaned annoyed. She drove me here and how did she expect me to go home? I have no cash with me.

She better not ditch me, she won't hear the end of it. I could still see a few people sprawled on the floor of the room. They must have had enough to drink last night.

I rolled my eyes when some couples were making out in the open. Who does that for crying out loud? Some secrecy would have been better. I made my way out of the room.

I checked my wristwatch and couldn't be more surprised to see that it's a few minutes to my work time. I'm going to be late and my boss won't let me have the end of it.

I hail a Uber after informing him that I'll make a transfer to him and he agreed. Some Uber men prefer cash to transfer.

A few minutes later I was home. I'm certain i look like a lost puppy right now. My heels made a sound as I moved but who cares ,I was home finally.

I rang the doorbell, mom opened it in seconds.

" What happened to your keys?"

Yes, guys don't be surprised, that was the first thing my mom greeted me with. She didn't even ask after my movement. Some mom she is.

" Really mom?" I raised a brow as I went inside, trailing behind her. I pushed the door behind me.

She chuckled " What ?"

" You didn't even show some act of concern"

She went into the kitchen but I still followed her " you are now an adult Ella, I don't need to always control your movement. I know the kind of daughter I have so why should I bother "

" Is that all you can say? " So much for this woman

" Yes that's all I've to say and by the way, I'm expected some gist. I know a lot happened judging by the hickey around your neck" she wiggled her brows.

" Mom! "

" What? " She said acting as if she didn't know what she did " am I not allowed to know? "

" Some mom you are"

" Some daughter you are too," she said with a smirk " come tell me please. I've been waiting for this day"

I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes at her " you are insufferable"

" But you love me like that " she winked. " Come have your sit dear," she said patting the seat beside her. I groaned but still ended up sitting beside her.

I unhooked my heels and kept them beside me. I never knew I'd last wearing those heels. " What do you want to know ?"

" Everything" she beamed.

I let out a sigh then my mind went back to that moments. is he looking for me? Or is her smiling after achieving what he wanted from me? Am I one of his many nightstands or am I the first?

So many thoughts kept swirling in my head. I need to find out his reaction when he didn't find me beside me. Does he feel exactly how I feel for him? is he happy that I left before he wakes up?

I felt bad knowing that, that will be the last time something like that will happen between up. Funny enough I don't regret giving him my virginity. I feel good knowing that he took it but why?

" Ella?"

I was cut off by my mom. I turned to be " huh?"

" Are you okay?" She asked with a concerned look on her face.

" Yes, why?"

" I asked you a question but your mind seems elsewhere. Are you sure you are ok? "

I nodded " yeah I am"

She let out a sigh and right then I knew her parenting mood was activated. She held my hand " I don't have to know the full details of what happened last night. That is your secret and I will understand. All I need to hear from you is, did you enjoy yourself last night? Are you happy that you went out? Or did you finally find the one? "

I smiled a little " I'm happy I went out last night. I'm really happy "

She beamed " that's good to hear them. Did you meet anyone? "

Judging from the blush on my cheeks, I knew her question was answered " awwww. I'm so happy for you dear"

" I'm happy too," I said but only I could hear it.

Zion

" Take this away!" I yelled at the maid. She took the coffee and ran off. I knew that wasn't called for but who cares? I'm the alpha and they must obey me.

I tried to control my anger but found it hard to do. I was so mad, really mad and angry at her. She left without saying goodbye or something. Does what happened last night mean nothing to her? Was I just one of her puppets?

The nerves she has to just flew like that. Alex knew something was off but didn't say anything. He's been staring at me for a while now.

I glared at him when I caught him staring again " What?! What are you looking at ?"

He raised his hands in surrender " nothing "

" Fuck off man"

" Look Zion I don't know what happened to you but please you need to tone down the anger in you," he said.

I glared hard at him " you don't get to tell me what to do! You have no right to tell me what to do! "

He scoffed " I won't sit here and hear you yell at me all day. I should leave maybe when you get yourself together you'll finally calm down "

I closed my eyes tightly realizing I shouldn't have shouted at him that way. He doesn't even know what happened to me.

" Wait!"

He paused " what is it again?"

" I'm sorry"

Alex rolled his eyes " say it as you mean it"

" Really?"

He shrugged " either that or I leave "

" Ok fine, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted at you like that "

" Good" he came back and sat on the chair opposite to mine " what happened to you big boss ?"

I let out a frustrated sigh and finally sat down back " it's nothing "

" This is nothing, I'm sure it's something. What made you or rather who made you angry? "

I couldn't hold it in any longer " I found her Alex. I've found my mate "

Alex's eyes almost bulged out of their socket " are you kidding me ?"

" Of course not I'm not, " I told him

" She rejected you? "

" Yes and no"

He furrowed his brows confused " I don't quite understand you "

" She is human"

" What?! "

" Imagine my surprise too "

" Is that why you are angry? "

" No ... No that's not it"

" What is it then ?"

" We mated last night "

If a look could kill, I'd have been six ft below the ground " why would you do something like that to her man? You know what this means right? "

I rolled my eyes " yes I know but for your information, I didn't mark her. "

" All the same. You should have informed her about it before going this far with her "

" And you think she'll believe me? Someone that doesn't know we existed, how do you think she'll take the news? She thinks I'm some human and I'm sure she doesn't know that Stella is one of us too"

" Stella? What brought Stella into this? "

" It's Ella. She is my mate "

" You've got to be kidding me! How is that even possible? Now I understood why you kept staring at her last night " he was shocked " you finally found her man"

" But she's human"

" It doesn't matter. She'd come to know the truth "

" Why do you seem happier than I am? " I couldn't help but ask.

" I knew there was something different about her and I'm happy she's the one for you. "

I squint my eyes at him " I don't get you"

" Remember the day we went to Daniel's office? "

I nodded " yes, I know she's the girl you met there so? "

" No, it's isn't about that "

" Then what is it about? " I was getting all confused now. What is Alex driving at?

"Did you notice the mark on her arm?"

" What mark?" I didn't realize she has a mark.

" There is this little mark that looks like a sphere just below her wrist. If you were observant enough you'll see it. That Mark is exactly like those of Zeus. The black world. I don't know why a human-like her has such a make " he explained.

This doesn't sound right. Zeus is people you don't mess with. They are also wolves but have Lycan blood in them. If truly what Alex said is true, does that mean she belongs to Zeus? But then again I see no sign of any hidden powers in her or could she be hiding it?

" Look man I know what I saw but I think she doesn't know who she is or where she comes from. I can't miss that mark and we all know that it's is not ordinary" Alex said.

" Now what do you want me to do?"

He shrugged " I don't know, it's up to you"

Things are getting hard for me, I never saw this coming. Zeus blood has been our enemy for over a decade. They were once part of us not until their king back in the days betrayed our ancestors which brought about the fight and separation of land. They were caused out of the land.

The Zeus then took it upon themselves to start a pack of their own and since then we haven't heard anything from them.

" Don't think too deep into this Zion. Right now we need to find prove to be sure whether we are right or wrong. We might be wrong "

No matter what he says, I still find it hard to believe that it was a lie. I need to get to the root of the matter. Firstly, I need to get her back. She is my luna and I need my luna right beside me

Ella

My boss can be so harsh at times. Just because I was late to work today he decided to punish me with piles of work. Right now I was sitting in my office with bulky files laying on my desk. I groaned for the tenth time when my head started to ache.

I rubbed my forehead hoping to stop the migraine that's beginning to form. This wasn't how I expected my day to be at all.

My wrist was beginning to pain from writing. I rubbed my wrist and then the sphere shape on my wrist came to view. It was more like a tattoo but I've never had a tattoo in my life.

I once asked Mom about it and all she said was I took after my father who is already late. I decided not to think too much over it. I stood up and walk to my small fridge, I picked out a cold bottle of water and sip out of it.

The cold substance gave me a relaxing feeling. Coldwater does help me a lot.
