It ended in tears. 

Of course, my own tear sbecause there was no reason whatsoever for Alpha terri to cry. 

Aftera’’, he wasn’t the one who got intured on the knees. He wasn’t the one who felt uncomfortable and fell of the bbed, neither was he the one with slow healing abilities. 

“I’m sorry,” he fnally said the apology I’d been waiting to hear for days.

Very  much belated that it had already lost it’s imapct.

What could sorry do when my asshole was in pain. Itw as like he’d fucked me for revenge.

“Does our relationship feel closer now?” I aske din between sobs.

“I’m sorry,” he said again, almost in a distant way that I almost felt like he was apologising fror somenething totally unrelated. 

“It’s okay,” I wiped my tears, whie ktrying to fght them baa nd also fight understand why my wolf was totally aginst this.

He is my mate,I tried to argue back, but she was holding a mental restraint on me that almost gave me a brain fog.

“Okay tehn, I’ll take my leave now,” he got up to his feet and adjusted his trouser.

“You’re ;leaving? Just like that?” i kooked up at him wth pain in mye yes, while he looked down at me witha quizzical frown in his eyebrows.

“Aren’t we going to talk? You know, o better our relationship?” 

“Didn’t we just do that?” he asked back and i felt an amount of betrayal I coyldn’t quite understand.

“You call that talking?” He arely even apologized and hwen he did, it was obvious it didn’t reach his heart. He obviously couldn’t be bothered by me. Why did he haveto tell such a blatant lie and make me look stupid.

“Of course. What else do you want? We even fucked. And if you’re going tp ask me to mark you, don’t even go there…”

“Oh, why not?” 

“You should ask Tyler about that,” he spared me a glance when he was done adjustng his buckle.

“Wait you mean Tyler told you not to mark me? What does that mean?... hOW?” i stuttered and gasped, unable to close my mouth 

“Wy don’t you figure it out yourself,” he said as he stretched an dgrabbed hi sohone from an angle I never saw him drop it.

That would mean that ehadfollowed me it the sole intentionshion if doing this and then leaving after…

When I remeberd teh imaptience in hi tone, it ionly solidified the thouh.

But now there was an even more pressing issue.

However, before I puld ask any further, he’d eft me all aloneand by myself in teh desolate clinic.

Just me and the bed we’d broken.

If I couldn’t get the answer from one mate, I could always ak the other… After all, they were broithers,” I though to myself and got up, a lot more sharply than I would have epected. 

And that’s when it occued to me that mating or having sex in general had its own benefoits.

Because the momet I got up to my feet i realised that the wound had healed completely.

That’s why I could,’t help bt feel agrieved when i THOUGHT ABOUT THE greater benefits I could get if I got marke dby my mates.

But what did I get in return?

I was cock blocked.

Was this revemge for yesterday? I pondered as I found my way around ins earch for Cain.

But the more I PONDETED  over t=it, the more it didn’t make sense.

Before all of this, we never crossed paths, neither did I ever get on his bad side. OPr was he one of those people who hated me because of my size?

That in itself didn’t make any sense because he was the first person to ever make me feel like I didn’t weight a thing.

I tried to put the thought behind my midn until I foud Cain. Afterall, they were brothers and I knew for  a fact that hewould be more willing to tell me the whole truth than Terrio was.

“

As I relaxed that thought, another one occurred to me. 

If Terri’s wrds alone was enough to stop the brothers from marking me. Then didn’t that mean that he had been telling the truths hen he said Terri didn’t have the power to make him come for me.

In that case, how did Tyler get to know qhwere I was.

He didn’t mark me yet…

“Hey, Zia where have you been?” Cain said as I bumped into him as soon as I rounded a corner. 

“Cain?” I asked as I stepped back and got a better look at him.

On him, I smelt, strawberry. A very strong strawberry scent and i didn’t need to ask to know that he’d been withher… But why?

Cain was sure to be the most loyal!

I WAS most certain about him being the one who would be my mate if I rwally had to pick one, so why

“Why?” I asked ina  adaze as he looked at me

“I heard about the situation at the cafetara and I just wanted to check up on you.”

“Oh,” I nodded when he coninued to act so innocent. Did he really not know what I meant or was he pretending not to?

Cian had an innocet image aND my sister was unto and after him, so it wouldn’t be any siurprising if they were actually together.

Afterall, she’s goiung on with the facade of someone who doesn’t have a mate yet even though she had ruthlessly rejected him. 

“Yes, com let’s find a place to talk,” he said as he led us back in the direction that  wa coing from. 

I was in too much thoughts, so I idnd;t realise until we were back inthe clinic.

“There shouldn’ be anyone here, come in.” he said and I froze.

“Uhn?”

“Come in. are you scared of me now?”

“No i’m not, it’s just,..”

“Look, I owuld never do what Terri did to you and as soona s I find him, I would scold him even though he was 3 minutyes earlier than me,” Cain said  and I wasn’ts ure if I fund any comfort in that.

Tjis was becam=use even until now, Gina hadn’t relaxed yet.

She was still restless and trying to get me to be all by myself. But even I knew that wpuldm’t do us any good.

Fomexperience, I knew Iwould only overthink until there wa nothing top thnk about then start to mourn my moma gaian with tears streaming down my face until I passed out.

That was why I always clinged unto Terri despite everything he did for and against me in the past.

T was because he was the only one who was willig to be in my space. Wgich translated as meaning I culd only ahve some peace of mind from my over thinking whev=never I was ith him. 

So of course, I wanted to be aroudn him regardless.

At least, then I wpuldn’t overthing or cry myself to exhaustion.

Because the worst part about it was that no matter how litte I ate or how many times i went to the pack doctor about my weight, they neer really figured out anything despite the tests upon tests.

Blood sampoles upon blood samples thatthey took.

Of course Terri was my one and only, all I had. Literally, figuratively.

“Zia,” Cain wcalled out my name as he snapped his fingers in front of my eyes.

“Ah…” I sucked in a deep breath and returned back to present 

“Yes,” i blinked and licked my dry lips as I was reminded once more of the annoying scenet of this clinic.

I could stull smell the methylated spirit and iodine from my self medicating before Terri came in.

“Oh right,” I remembered, “I was also looking for you,” I said.

“Oh really?” a bemused and ery naughty smie appeared on his face as his eyes lingered on my lips.

“Was it for the same reason as I was looking for you?” he asked but my brows furrowed ina  frown as I tried to fugure ut what he as beingcryptica bot.

“What do you mean?” I asked 

“Don’t you remember what we did the last tiem we were together? Why are you truing to act so innocent and oblivious,” he said and usually,I WOULD have blushed, but not at this moment. 

In fact, I couldn’t find it in me to smile when i was still very much traumatised by my experience with Terri just now

“Wait,” i stepped backa nd raised my hands up in a defemsive stance, y palms faing him as if to push him back.

“What?” hE asked as he closed the distance between us.

“I was looking for you for another reason,” I explained slowly until my back hit the wall. 

Perfect. Just perfect.

“Okay, speak,” he said with just one stride left to close the final distance between us. 

Cain was the shortest of his brothers with a height of 5foot 97 tall. Appoximately 6 foot. So it turned into a fit when he tried to tower over my 5ft 6.9 height.

This would have been possible if I was simply just a slim girl or like every other normal female in the pack

However, I weighed a lot. I was wide and massiv e and his supposed to be sexy and domineering attempt ended up with him resting his whole body weight on me.

But I couldn’t complain.. Not when I could feel his raging boner press on my belly fat. 

“I…” I was naturallynoy in the best position either. 

Whether he was my mate or not. I definitely didn’t want to breath into his mouthwhile inhaling his own breath as well.

“Please back a way a bit,” I pleaded.

“You look so sexyw en you talk.

“Thank you.. I…” i didn’t get to finish my words because he swallowed them in a kiss. 

“Oh,” I moaned into the kiss as his hands brushed through ny hair and started to give me the most rekaxing seep inducingmassage I’d ever gotten.

Tis was becaue it ahd no competotion as the only time’s I’ve had my scalp massaged was when I was much younger by my mom. But that would always remain unrivalled.

“Such beautiful lips,” cain said ofr  a moment when he gave me a breather, butin the next minuytes, my whole mouth was captured in his.

Saliva started to mix again. I was almost convinced that he would swallow me whole if he didn’t take two staped back at that momnet and say,” I can’t wait anyt=more.

“I didn’t know what he meant by that because I felt dizzy.

U eally just wanted to relax and catch my breath.

But the strenght in my legs was absent and I slumped donw to my knees.

“Oh, zIA, I love you,” Can said when I expected him to be volunteering to puck me up.

But then, I remembered that he wasn’t Tyler

I was really starting to get comfortable in my skin thanks to a few words that he spoke to me. 

“Open wide and suck my dick.” Cin’s voice came from above as he poked my lips almost frefully with is tip.

I was so caught by surprise that the sudden thrust n=hurt my lips.

“Ouch,” I yelped but all I managed to do was open my mouth for his dick to enyer. And witrh one full thrust bruisng my unprepare throat in the process, 

“That hurt,” I wanted to cry out as i pushed his waist back but instead, he took it as encouragement and wapped my hands around his waist while he continued to thrust harder with his hip.

As if scraping my throat wasn’t =enough, he went ahead to grab h=my hair tight in a puny tail that I thought my scalp would go numb. 

He was going to pukll out my hair from the root if that continued, and it just wan’t something I could bare, but no matter how many times I taped his ass or gripped his butt, he only took it as encouragement and increased the strenght of his thrusts.

Just when I thpugh I was going to lose my mind completely, I got saved. But in the worst way possible.

“Cain? Zia? What the fuck?!” Celine’s voice rang from above my head. 

“Oh my god,.. Celinem what are you doing here?” Cain immediatley let go off me as he hurried to stuff his cock into his briefs.

While I fell face flat to the ground.

My nose hit the hard floor and i heard the crisp sound of a broken nose. As if that wasn’t enough punishment for losing my balanve, Cain didn’t try to help, instead, he focused all his attention to Celinie.

“Celine, I can explain… It’s not what you think.”

“Didn’tyou say that
