XAVIERZara eventually fell asleep in my arms after holding me for a long time.How was I supposed to explain that she was the source of my misery? Whenever it came to her, I always acted out of character, doing everything in my power to protect her. I was starting to care far more deeply than I should, and I was beginning to hate it.How could I not?She looked so beautiful.My gaze settled on her soft, kissable lips as she shifted slightly in her sleep, still nestled comfortably against me. A smile found its way onto my lips before I could stop it. She looked unbelievably adorable when she slept, completely unaware of the chaos she stirred inside me.Zara Ashbourne was going to be the end of me.She was also the biggest mystery I had ever tried to unravel.As I continued staring at her peaceful face, my thoughts drifted back to the investigation.Was she truly a healer?After paying an outrageous amount for an extensive investigation, my research team had finally uncovered the origi

ZARAI turned over, feeling the soft bedding against my skin. How did I get into bed? The last thing I remembered was being on the couch with Xavier while I listened to his steady, soothing breathing. Sometime during the night, I must have drifted off.Opening my eyes, I realized it was already morning, and Xavier wasn't in bed beside me. It didn't even look like he had slept there at all. Had he already resumed work after drinking alcohol last night? Knowing him, that wouldn't be surprising. The man practically lived for work, but after everything that had happened, I had expected him to at least get some rest.I slowly got out of bed, stretched my stiff muscles, and headed into the bathroom to relieve myself before splashing cold water over my face. The cool sensation helped wake me up, though my mind remained occupied with thoughts of Xavier. He had looked so vulnerable the previous night, a side of him I had never imagined existed.After brushing my teeth, I left the room in searc

XAVIER“Alpha. She has been kidnapped,” Ghost said over the phone when he called me.I had been in my office working, but I abandoned everything, leaped to my feet, and rushed out of the tower. I didn't care about driving rules, breaking every traffic law as I sped toward the hospital where Ghost said Zara had been kidnapped.“How did it happen?” I growled at the top of my lungs. “Tell me. How did it fucking happen?”“I had just exited the hospital and we were heading to the car when a Mustang stopped in front of us. Masked men jumped out. I tried to protect her, but they overpowered me,” Ghost said in a panicked tone. “I swear everything happened too fast.”“Are you saying that you failed at your job? You couldn't fucking do the one thing you were paid for. You're fired!” I roared as I rushed into the hospital, hurrying toward the control room.“The surveillance footage outside the building. Now!” I barked at the CCTV operators.They immediately got to work, pulling up the surveilla

ZARAMy phone was handed back to me, and I realized they had turned it off. I turned it back on, only to see several notifications popping in. I quickly dialled Xavier’s number and he answered on the first ring. “Zara,” he called, sounding breathless. “Where are you? Did they hurt you? I will find you. I promise. I am already arranging…”“I am safe,” I interrupted him with an exhale. “Where are you right now? There's something i have to tell you. ”“I’m at the hospital, but—”I cut him off. “Okay. Wait for me. I’m coming.”With that, I ended the callI needed to see Grandpa at the hospital anyway and ask him to explain everything I had just learnt. Derick's men drove me back to the hospital in complete silence. None of them spoke a single word throughout the journey, and I didn't either. My mind was too occupied trying to process everything Derick had told me. As the Mustang pulled into the hospital parking lot, I immediately spotted Xavier pacing outside the main entrance. The
