I’ll Repay Her
Still Clarita’s POINT OF VIEW
A nerve tugs at Serene’s face, she’s dead nervous.
I wonder what has brought her to this state, did I say something wrong? The seconds tick by and she still hasn’t answered my question. She stares ahead, frozen like a zombie.
“Serene, do you know Zane? Why are you so nervous, did I say something wrong?” I ask urgently. I started to get nervous too. Is there something wrong with Zane, is he hurt or a serial killer I should have avoided? I don’t want to seriously consider any of those options. Zane was the perfect gentleman when I was with him on the boat. He could have taken advantage of me when I was lying dead drunk next to him, and again the next morning when I had a terrible hangover from my excessive drinking.
But I was the one who initiated the sex, I was already in love with him.
What followed was beyond my wildest expectations. If I thought Matt had taught me everything I needed to know about sex, I was wrong. Zane was amazing, I had never had so many orgasms in a row, never felt so intensely loved. He was an incredible lover, I went hoarse with cries of pleasure. And I got the impression that he enjoyed it too, I can still remember his hoarse moans. Every time he climaxed, he made sure he was deep inside my pussy and his ecstatic growls sent goosebumps all over my body.
I should have known he was a werewolf, everything pointed to it. But I was too much in the throes of lust to pay attention to details, all I wanted was to keep this amazing feeling he was giving me for as long as possible.
“Clarita, tell me more about this Zane you spent the night with,” Serene finally asks. “Were there any other men on the yacht with him?” She avoids eye contact, now I am convinced she is hiding something from me.
“Yes, a friend, Mase, and his girlfriend Amelia. Oh yes, and two other men who were always aloof, I don’t know their names. The morning we woke up, his mood changed, his eyes changed color. He asked me to wait for him until he had finished his business, no matter how long it took, he would come back to me.”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A tear rolled down my cheek at the memory. Like a fool, I believed him when he told me that what we had together was exceptional. He just wanted to get rid of me and he did it in his usual way.
“Clarita, I need you to park the car at the side of the road. What I am going to tell you will be difficult to digest. Please do exactly as I say.” The coldness in her voice makes me obey immediately. Serene is not the kind of person to tell me untruths; in the short time I have known her, she has always been open and honest with me.
As I park the car, I turn to her. “Tell me quickly, I’m burning with curiosity”.
“I won’t mince words, what I’m going to tell you will be difficult. I want you to control yourself.” She gripped my hands tightly and I saw pity in her eyes. And I’m sure she has less pleasant news.
“Clarita, the Zane you met is the same Alpha who kidnapped Ariel, her second mate. Alexis had tricked him by posing as Ariel. They broke up, and Alexis and Alpha Gorgio thought Ariel was rid of Zane for good. But he found out.”
Shocked, I stared at my friend, trying to process her words.
Zane is the infamous Alpha Zane who claims Ariel as his own. The man who refuses to accept that Ariel doesn’t want him. Oh my God! What have I got myself into? I started to shake uncontrollably, this was insane.
“Then what was he doing at the Yacht Club? Wasn’t he supposed to be with his pack?” I ask, trying to refute her words. “Ariel wasn’t on the boat with him and neither was Alexis.”
Serene sighs. “He was probably out sorting things out. I don’t know who Mase is, but the two men were definitely warriors.” Concerned, she stares at me.
“You slept with Ariel’s mate and are pregnant by him. That could be a curse or a blessing. Now that you are pregnant, Zane would finally be willing to level the playing field and accept you as his chosen mate. The war will be averted then”.
“No! I refuse to be a rebound wife. I’d rather stay single and be a single mother, but I’ll never throw myself away on a man who thinks I’m his good luck charm. Not me. I just got rid of one scoundrel, I have no intention of letting another into my life”.
“I understand your position. But you should know that you are saving Ariel from an unpleasant situation and Eclipse Howl from an unnecessary war. Gorgio will be eternally grateful to you for this.”
To my shock, I started crying, my life was a complete mess again. Just when I thought I could have a decent life again, I embarrassed myself again. Now I am pregnant by my best man. I don’t know how Ariel will react to the news.
“Hey, calm down, everything will be fine. Let’s go to Human Town and find some distraction. I know a good hotel where we can go swimming and take a sauna. In the meantime, you can think about what to do.” I nod at the suggestion, what I need now is room to think about my life.
We check into the hotel Serene refers to. The pool looked great, I bought a bikini in one of the shops and changed immediately. When my friend sees me, her eyes go straight to my bump.
“Hey, it’s growing fast. These werewolf pups grow like weeds before you know it’s delivery time. Don’t forget to make an appointment with the pack doctor, everything should be fine.”
I nod, still not in the mood for a normal conversation. After a dip in the pool, I ran a few laps to clear my mind.
Serene’s words keep running through my mind. I owe my life to Ariel. She came to my rescue when I was at my most depressed. Now is my chance to repay her, to save her life from this plague that keeps torturing her relationship with Gorgio.
After half an hour of swimming, I had made up my mind.
I know what I have to do…
