Xander's POV

“You shouldn’t have come.” I fight down the growl rising in my throat. “We’re barely going to be here before camp. I’d hate for you to have travelled so far just to head home tomorrow.”

“Oh, don’t be silly, babe. I’m going to stay here, spend time with your family and the girls. I’m not going home tomorrow.” She beams.

Mum’s eyebrows climb higher, and from the look on her face this is news to her. She doesn’t look thrilled about my so-called girlfriend inviting herself to stay.

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 467

    Lincoln's POV'What the hell, man? How could you let her walk into this?'Tobias's link drips with vitriol, and he's right.Goddess damn, he's right.The tension in the room has every hair on my body on edge. We're supposed to be here to reassure the pack and calm things down ahead of the fucking inspection, and now this?Lex is standing to attention, every instinct focused on our mate, because it feels like a very real possibility that someone might lunge for her, and I know from the set of Xander's shoulders and the way Tobias is squeezing his cutlery they both feel it as well.At least the one saving grace is that they will both put themselves between Zahra and any harm. If this breaks into an all-out fight, Zahra will have my entire unit and three Alphas, as well as her own incredible skill, to keep her safe.I can't fucking believe I put her in this position.'I didn't see this coming,' Lex murmurs, berating himself for the hundredth time.'We don't have a bond with the pack yet.

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 466

    Zahra's POVLincoln looks around the room, surveying his pack before starting; "Good evening, Shadow Pack. It's wonderful to see you all again and be back on home soil." He pauses as ripples of murmurs spread across the room. "I am sorry to have left you for so long after only just becoming your Alpha, but I had a rather important job to do."He glances down at me, and his eyes very briefly flicker to Tobias's before he continues."I met my mate." He smiles. "I had to wait until the other day for her to come of age and for the bond to reveal itself to her. Shadow, I would like to introduce you all to your Luna, Zahra Larking, Beta female from Bloodmoon."There are stunned gasps, and no one cheers. Not one person.Lincoln registers it too. His jaw tightens before he continues."The feud between Bloodmoon and Shadow died with my father. We have no grudges with them, and this new alliance formed by our bond, and my close friendship with their future Alpha," he indicates Xander, "will ens

    Zahra's PovWe chat away in the living room for what feels like five minutes, but when Lincoln squeezes my hand and I look up, I realise the light is golden and the sun is starting to descend in the sky."It's nearly time for dinner to be served. Do you want to change?" Lincoln asks. "We're relaxed here and you look beautiful, as always. I just didn't want to take the option away from you," he hurries on, as if worried I'll be offended by his words.I smile at him and glance at the others. They are all in shorts and T-shirts, or, in Holly's case, a light summer skirt and a sleeveless top.I'm in the sundress I put on this morning to make a good first impression. It's clean and not too wrinkled and will still serve its purpose. I don't want the others to think I'm high maintenance."I'm happy to go down like this," I say to Lincoln, squeezing his hand gently.He smiles, his silver eyes bright, but beneath it I can feel his nervous excitement through the bond.Fuck... this is about to ha

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 464

    Zahra's POVLincoln continues; "Well, then, once we woke up, Tobias and I went to see Zahra because we'd missed her birthday, and then we were told she'd been poisoned, and naturally we were worried. And when we got there... the bond snapped into place. We've been in Bloodmoon trying to figure things out and spending time together.""Wow, this is complicated," Holly breathes. "Three separate packs, units, the lot?"I nod."Where will you live?"We shrug."We haven't figured anything out yet, and we know the responsibility of our units is going to increase. But thankfully I'm the only acting Alpha at the moment. Hopefully we'll have figured out more of a plan before the others are sworn in."They all look a little shell-shocked, and the room falls into silence. Nobody even seems to blink.My anxiety rockets.They're judging us.They don't want me as their Luna anymore.They're going to think I'm a slut. That I'm unworthy of being their Luna.Lincoln's hand finds mine. He interlocks our

    Zahra's POV"So, Luna," Tammy starts, "how did you meet Lincoln?""Zahra, please. You're going to be my unit and, hopefully, my closest friends. Just Zahra is fine," I say, smiling at them all.But her question surprises me."Didn't they tell you?" I say, looking at the guys."Tell us what?" Tammy says.I smile."I've known them all for ages. I met Lincoln and Sam four years ago at the Alpha King's summer training camp. Then I was at the dinner where Tobias and King James introduced Isaac and Jackson to Sam and Lincoln.""Oh, so you've known them all longer than we have?" Holly says, smiling.I nod."I still can't believe you're lucky enough to be mated to Zahra, man," Sam says, shaking his head.Holly smacks his arm."I'm right here," she scowls at him.He chuckles, kissing her nose."Not like that, babe. It's just Zahra here is more than a little special. She's the best warrior any of us have ever seen, she graduated high school at fourteen, graduated Night Howlers Academy early, an

    Zahra's POVLincoln leads me downstairs to the first floor and towards what I assume is the living room he mentioned."My father removed the Luna's office not long after my mother died, and he expanded the other offices on this floor instead. If you'd like, we could convert one of the bedrooms upstairs. Or you could do what the other female units do and we could share the Alpha office."I can hear the hope in his voice."Do you, by any chance, like the idea of me sharing your office?" I ask with a smile.He nods."Very much. I like the idea of having you beside me. But if you'd prefer a more traditional approach, we can sort something."I smile."Nothing about this is traditional. I'm happy to share your office."He grins down at me, pulling me into his arms, and kisses me hard. His hand finds my hair, and mine finds his chest, as we make out in full view of anyone in the corridor.When he pulls back, he's breathless and, judging by the tent in his trousers and the scent filling the c

    Zahra's POV‘Did you get any of that?’ I link to Lance as I step outside of the Cafe, and turn back towards my dorm.‘Snippets. What’s wrong? You looked all weird when you left.’‘I don’t know. I just got a weird feeling. I’m going to head back to the house. I want to speak to Edwardo.’‘Meet me at

    Xander's POVI shower again. It seems like a bit of a pointless waste of water, when I haven’t done anything since my last shower, but I guess the routine of showering when I wake up is ingrained, and another chance to wash Max’s scent off isn’t a bad idea. The guilt hits me again, churning hot in

    Zahra's POVWe walk into the Alpha Pi house side by side and we’re almost immediately assaulted by the scent of sweat, alcohol, vomit, and something else I don’t want to identify too closely.It’s dark, with lights flashing in the hall and living room, and music blaring so loud we could hear it acr

This one was Advanced Business Strategy.Bastion is beside me, and another girl with a mane of curly brown hair is on my other sid
