I could only stare at Zenovia as she slowly opened the doors and took slow, deliberate steps inside
I had momentarily lost the ability to speak as I let my eyes roam over her. Words were not enough to describe how stunning and
breathtaking she was looking
My gaze slowly traveled up the sandals she was wearing, up the slit of her dress that stopped just at her mid thigh, tempting me
to touch her, to feel that skin under my fingers.
She was the very definition of beautiful and sexy. The dark blue gown she was wearing accentuated her curves, fitting her like a
glove as she walked in, looking at the huge crowd seated at the table.
Her large eyes were darting around nervously, as if she was looking for something. And that was good because it allowed me to
feast on the spectacle in front of me.
All this time, I had simply seen her in simple dresses, pajamas, or gym wear. There was just one night when she had worn a
short dress and that night I had almost fucked her by the lake, not being able to control myself.
Since that day, I have been trying to put up a wall between us. Truth be told, the last few days had been agonizing for me,
especially after Drusilla suspected 1 had begun to look at my breeder in a new light..
Hell, Zenovia was never meant to be a breeder.
She was meant to be a queen and rule my heart, rule me.
The slow tik tok of her heels echoed through the room as I simply gawked at her, unable to tear my eyes from her beautiful figure
And either she was too naïve to not know what she was doing or was an expert at charming. The blue dress she was wearing
caught light whenever she moved, and it twinkled in the light, shining like a dusting of stars in the night sky.
The dress did not have a deep neckline, but I did see the way she had filled up in the last month or so after the rigorous training
and healthy food.
God damn, she was a siren. A seductress,
The dress clung to her like a second skin and my eyes gazed fondly at the neckline, letting me get just a peek of her cleavage..
I had to hold on to the armrest of the chair firmly so as to not just walk up and kiss those damn lips of hers that were smiling
nervously.
Her gaze traveled through the entire room and settled on me.
And I did not break eye contact. Beast let out a low growl when she blushed, a rosy tint appearing on her cheeks as she smiled
shoulders.
It was too much to bear.
“Mine,” Beast growled in my head and I could not find a way to deny him.
But then I heard another voice beside me, a breathless whisper.
“Woah” I turned to the side to see Elijah staring at her, unabashedly, if I might add.
He got up from his seat and promptly went towards her.
“Hey Zenovia, come, He said and effortlessly held out a hand to her. She gave him a nervous smile and slipped her hand in
his.
And a hot wave of jealousy crept up my heart when I saw that.
I quickly tried to stomp over it and looked around to see that I was not the only one who had been staring like that at her. Almost
everybody was looking at her with a tinge of desire shining in their eyes.
I tried not to show how it affected me and got up from my seat, clearing my throat loudly.
The others had been caught in a stupor and there had been a stunned silence all around us for a few minutes.
The sound I made was enough to distract the others, all of whom blinked rapidly and then looked at me.
Elijah was still holding Zenovia’s hand as he guided her to an empty chair and helped her sit on it.
Nobody except the ranked members of the packs were ever allowed a seat in the meeting of the leaders.
But she was the first rankless girl to have been invited. And it would be rude and impolite to keep such a Goddess standing on
her feet.

Chapter 87
Elijah had opened his mouth to introduce her but one look at me told him to shut up.
Good. I thought in satisfaction.
Wait, was I getting jealous of my own gamma for being so easygoing and effortless with her? He was like that with everyone,
so it was not his fault.
And technically, I had asked him to pay attention to her but then I had made him leave to keep an eye on rogue activity.
“Liar, yo didn’t want him around her” Beast teased but I ignored him.
Everybody’s attention turned to me as I announced, “This is Zenovia Archer, the newest member of my pack.”
Seeing him everybody else followed suit and promptly began to introduce themselves. I tried not to roll my eyes at them.
Just a moment ago, all of them had been worried about the pack and rogue attacks and just the arrival of Zenovia had changed
them into kicked puppies that needed attention.
“That is what happens when you bring a young, and available lady to a testosterone deprived room” Beast whispered in my
head.
“Available?” I asked him and he chuckled.
“She does not have a mate yet, right?” I nodded grudgingly.
The thought of her meeting her mate and slinking in the arms of any other male made me want to break something.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
What was this girl doing to me?
And as if to prove Beast’s point one of the beta sitting in the far corner asked, “Have you found a mate yet, Miss Zenovia?”
The question ignited a spark of curiosity amongst all the unmated alphas, betas, and gammas as they subconsciously leaned
forward, eager to hear her answer.
My gaze flicked to Zenovia who gave a shy smile. She pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear and replied,
“N-not yet, Mr...”
She began and he was prompt to supply, “Alpha Alex. I have the biggest pack in the east”
However, his words were met with a grunt from the right.
“No, yours is not the biggest pack. Not anymore after plenty of warriors died, and a few left recently”
Alex glared at the man who had spoken, and I cleared my throat again.
“To make it clear. Zenovia belongs to me”
At those words, everybody looked at me in confusion, even Matteo and Elijah.
Not just them, but even Zenovia blinked and looked at me in surprise.
“She was...offered to me as a gift by alpha Drake Archer of the nightfall pack. He, unfortunately, could not attend the meeting
today.”
Whispered conversations broke out between the men and Elijah could only shake his head when my gaze fell on him.
“Is she your breeder, King
One of them was prompt to ask, and I blurted out, “Yes” without thinking.
And when my gaze fell on Zenovia, I saw the smile disappear from her face. To make matters worse, her face looked red again,
but it was because of humiliation.
I saw the way she was fighting back the tears that threatened to spill out of her eyes and in that moment I knew I had fucked
1. up.
I wove a hand through my hair and announced, “The meeting is over. You all may leave now.”
None of them needed further pushing as they got up from the chairs and hastily left.
Zenovia too got up from the chair and was about to leave when I said, “Not you, Zenovia. We have to talk.”
