Chapter 13
ZEROI scan her face, wanting to know if she was serious about sleeping together.“ I mean. Lie down on the bed beside me while I sleep. ” She understands where my mind went and instantly elaborates.I knew she didn’t mean it that way. Although the bond draws her to me, she is too stubborn to actually want to sleep with me.Without saying a word, I move past her and remove my shoes before lying down on the bed. My eyes move to the ceiling in silence.“ I thought you will refuse. ” She muses while making her way to the other side of the bed. I place my hands over my stomach, lying still on my back and keeping my gaze straight and away from her body. Her flowery wild scent spreads around me, all inside me even when I try to keep my head distracted.“ You watched me sleeping many times before. I bet it’s not even weird for you anymore. ” Mumbling, she pulls the duvet up her body.I don’t stop her from covering half my body too. It’s strange for werewolves to sleep under heavy blankets b
Chapter 14
ANNEWaking up in the morning and not during the night was kind of new after three months of sleepless nights. And seeing Zero’s stoic face first thing in the morning was even newer.I almost screamed my lungs out but my mind registered everything quickly and I sufficed with only gasping and untangling my body from his.He got up and left without delay. He didn’t even say a thing to me which was awkward. I didn’t say anything to him either. I was too busy letting the thought of hugging him to sleep sink in. I must have lost my mind when I saw him outside my room last night. I was vulnerable in front of him, I told him things I barely ever tell even myself and I asked him to sleep with me. Shit.But, I don’t regret it. He listened to me, didn’t laugh at my weakness, and actually held me like he cared about me. So, okay. It’s all fine and good.I still feel like screaming my lungs out though. It’s all so unreal.Anyway, I have to push all this aside and get to work. The first thing I

ANNE“ He met the witch a few days ago. ” The Vampire King sighs, as I sit down on the couch after getting persuaded by Giana to listen to everything he has to tell me.“ Which witch? ” I lift my brow.“ Edith. She lives close by. ” He reveals. “ she is an alliance. She came here a few days ago to tell us about the shift in the stars and the prophecy about a new Vampire King after centuries. ” “ So? ” I frown.“ He met her and asked her about the sleep-inducing spell. ” He discloses.“ What sleep-inducing spell? ” My heart misses a beat.“ The one he had been under. For centuries. He gave her money, and she told him everything he needed to know. ” The King stares at me coldly.“ He must be…curious to know about the spell. What about it? ” I don’t think there is anything wrong here.He shakes his head. “ you don’t know what he said to his mother when he found her alive. ” I look at Zio, who is listening to everything keenly, and then at Giana, who is frowning hard. “ He told her…he
Author's Note
Hey Readers! I wanted to inform you all that there won't be a chapter tonight because I am not feeling too well. Also, I read some comments about dragging the book and so. The story just started and I can only ask you all to be a little patient. Besides, this won't be a long story like Ryker and Natalie's book. I am planning on keeping Anne and Zero's story short because I have to move on to a new, separate book. I hope you all bear with me until this book is done. Thanks for Reading and Voting! Love you all! ❤️ ~S.Y
Chapter 16
ANNE“ How long are we going to stay silent? ” Giana whispers, breaking the hours-long silence between us.A few hours ago, we left the so-called vampire territory. Zero didn’t ask much. All I had to do was to ask him to take me back and he didn’t utter a word, just grabbed my hand and strolled away.To my surprise, the Vampire King didn’t even try to stop him, stop us all. It seemed like we had a silent agreement that I had guaranteed that I won’t let Zero succeed in his plan if there is one, to begin with.Now, Zio is driving his car back to Ryker’s pack. Zero is sitting in the passenger seat and I am forced to sit in the backseat with Giana.I am so fucking angry at her for almost making me lose my head.“ I am sorry. ” She whispers, gripping my wrist.I shake my head, looking outside the window. We are about to enter the Night Walker pack’s territory. It’s the same as I remembered it.Nothing changed in the last three months here. Only I changed and Zero changed. Or maybe, we were

ANNE“ Giana. How nice of you to show up on your own. ” He lets out in his Alpha tone. “ Cut her some slack. ” I roll my eyes, walking to the desk and slumping on the visitor chair.“ I am sorry, Alpha Ryker. ” Giana sighs, coming to sit on the chair opposite mine.“ Do you realize what you made us go through? ” Ryker states, calmly. “ What if the Vampire King refused to keep his word? What were you going to do then? ” I look at Zio who is looking out the window, his back facing us. Of course, he had to report everything to Ryker. He was not going to lie to his Alpha about anything.Zero must know everything by now too. I stare at him, while he keeps his gaze on the floor.“ I am sorry. ” Giana mumbles in an apologetic tone.“ The Vampire King means no harm. ” I utter to Ryker. “ You don’t need to worry anymore. ” Zero’s shoulders stiffen but he refuses to look up. Why do I have this weird hunch that he knew his father won’t do much to harm Giana, to begin with? Now as I think abou
Chapter 18
ANNE Zero’s lips release mine and trail down my throat, and my collarbone. My eyes close on their own as I relish the feel of his lips over my feverish, ablaze skin. He groans, low in his throat, causing my insides to heat up some more. My mind has left my body. All that is left…Zero is trying to suck it out of me. I fist his hair, pulling him closer. All of a sudden, my eyes snap open and land on the tree behind him. ‘ You are getting money for this. So be a good whore and do everything I ask you to do. ’ The words from the past echo in my ears as a wave of nausea hits me hard. Shadows are playing with me again. I never think about the past. I never lose myself to my memories—never dared to do it before but now…I can not stop the guilt and disgust from filling me. Fear starts radiating off me as Zero’s lips pause on my shoulder. He breathes against my skin. I snap out of the daze momentarily and instantly pull my hands out of his soft locks. “ Why are you scared? ” He whis
Chapter 19
ANNE The pack has changed a little. There is a new Beta, new Gamma—both are former members of Ryker’s pack. He sent them here, it seems, so he can gain control. Zero called them into the packhouse and then they were in the Alpha’s study, Goddess knows discussing what bullshit now. It’s not like I am even interested to know what goes on here. I hate packs and their hierarchy to begin with. I stayed in the kitchen, first wondering what to cook because I didn’t know what Zero liked to eat. It is shitty that I even thought about cooking for him and even wondered what he liked. I only ever did these two things for Giana and Natalie. Frustrated with my thoughts, I settled for making chicken Parmesan, broccoli salad, and some pasta. Then, I waited until the fucking Beta and Gamma were gone before I made my way to Zero. After saying such weird things to him, it was a little awkward facing him. I waited for a few moments outside the study before I knocked on the door and pushed it open.
