Chapter 9
Zeeva’s POV
I couldn’t believe that after all 1 had been through, I was going to lose Alpha Kody.
thought of it was terrifying
Not after how far I had gone to have him engaged to me. Among all the Alphas, he was the most powerful, handsome, and disciplined.
Trust me. Alpha Kodak wanted no one but his mate and yet, could not find her. The love I had for him made me ill, almost to the point of death.
My mother insisted on knowing, so I confessed my feelings towards Alpha Kodak to her. That day, my mother cried, not believing how I was going to follow the same fate as her.
who never wanted her. But from the moment she laid eyes on him, she wanted him.
She confessed to being in love with an Alpha who never
Sadly, he found his destined mate, who was not her.
Unable to bear it, my mother convinced my father to launch an attack almost two decades after the incident. That attack took the Alpha’s life, including that of his mate. She said their only daughter would have also died.
But my mother overheard her then rival making a vow with the moon goddess to spare the life of her daughter in exchange for her daughter’s mate bond
The yow worked, and her daughter, even at the age of thirteen, was so strong and undefeatable but with the help of a witch, my mother took the sacrificed mate bond for later use.
She was not sure it would work, but when the mate bond was transferred to me, I went to visit Alpha Kody and he saw me differently. We were in love, and after a short time, he engaged me.
Well, I had to lie that my destined mate rejected me, but the fact remained that for as long as I bore the mate bond my mother swapped with the help of the witch, I would never recognize my true mate.
This bond doesn’t work like the real mare bond, but it was strong enough to make Alpha Kodak love me enough to agree to marry me, which was enough for me.
ing he never gave me was his body due to his
Alpha Kody spoiled me with expensive gifts, making me the envy of the she–wolves. The only thing archaic belief of waiting until marriage.
Well, that was soon to happen because preparations were already ongoing, and the only thing remaining was the date, which Alpha Kody kept delaying. We have been in touch, always speaking on the phone at least two times a day if we do not see each other.
Our wolves were in syne with each other because of the swapped bond, but, who knew that something like this was going to happen when we spoke just yesterday!
My determination to keep him was stronger than ever, I said to him. “Let me talk to the woman you slept with”
Kodak did not respond to my request, his expression being one of indifference, but Mom and Dad had already left for the study, so I followed them to see my mother pacing back and forth.
“He’s going to bring mockery to our name. He
te has to marry our daughter.”
1 agreed with her, but my father’s words sent waves of fear into my heart, making me furious. “I know Alpha Kodak. If he says no, nobody can change his mind.”
“So, what do we do Should we just allow him to go?” My mother was as perplexed as I was, but then I realized my father’s idea of using the whip on a fellow Alpha was perfect.
“I don’t think he’ll be willing to carry the shame of being whip
whipped”
That would completely reduce Alpha Kodak’s dignity, so I wondered why he accepted it. Was the woman he slept with so special to him to make him lose himself so mucht
“But he’s ready. He just proved it.” I pointed out, my father exposed more of his plans to us.
“If he as much as goes ahead with it, I will send videos of it across the packs, and let’s see how he would maintain his dignity.”
Warmth filled my heart. Alpha Kodak would not be able to hold his head up if videos of that sort circulated the packs, right! In that case, he would have to fall back on my father to render a public apology, and that would mean he was going ahead with the wedding
“Dad, you are just amazing”

Chapter 9
1 embraced my father, planting a kiss on his cheek. A smile stretched his lips as he instructed.
“Hat you should continue pretending that you care for him. Alpha Kodak thinks of the benefits of marrying you, but he doesn’t know that we stand to benefit more because his pack is richer
I wonder how he knew I was pretending back them when I begged him not to use the whip, but that was just excitingly what made me understand the level of experience my father had.
“We can’t let what happened to me happen to my daughter. Even in her grave, I can’t forgive Linn Paty. She stole Alpha Jade from me, my mother raged, ruining the atmosphere because my father was upset and did not hide it.
You make me feel as if you are still in love with him. It was obvious that my never cared about what my father did with other she–wolves
w mother was
in love with
ith that dead Alpha. That was the reason sher
They were not destined mates, as my mother had rejected hers for that dead Alpha, who found his second chance mate. My father had lost his mate, so they decided to be together.
I know that my mother agreed because of the Luna title, but which she–wolf would refuse such an offer!
“I just
want our daughter to have better,” she said with remorse, my father’s attention was drawn back to me, as he proposed his plan B.
“We have to find the woman he slept with and kill her. That is the only way.”
The corner of my lips stretched with satisfaction. If Alpha Kodak called off the wedding because of that woman, then she deserved to die. “Dad, I love you!
My father smiled and elaborated on his plan. “Now, you shall pretend to be begging me as I whip him so I will get upset and push you out of the parkhouse”
“There, you will find some of our warriors to follow him when he leaves. They should monitor his whereabouts and tell us about the woman he replaced you with.”
1 was so happy about the outcome of the events. We had to find that woman and eliminate her. As soon as I stepped out of the room, my crocodile tears began
“Dad please, don’t do this. Just let him go.” Tears gathered in my eyes and I let them fall, being so good at it, but my father was adamant, just as planned.
“He can’t disgrace our family and go free.” The end of the whip came into contact with Kody’s skin, but there was no reaction on his face or body,
“No Dad” I yelled, covering Kody’s body with mine, my father yelled. “Asher, get her out of here”
I put up a little resistance, as I was being dragged out of the living room. “Dad please, don’t do this, I love him.” I kept screaming until Asher locked
me out
Wiping my fake tears, I found one of the best warriors except Asher and gave the instructions.
“You have to follow Alpha Kodak and spy on him. We want to know who be goes to see.”
After confirming that he understood the assignment, I resumed my tears and began hitting the entrance door, but what met my eyes caused any feet to Mill.
Alpha Kodak’s back was all bloody, his eyes dark, as he began to put his clothes back on
“Kody please, let me nurse your wounds,” I pleaded with him, but his gaze was something I had never seen before. It was as if he never knew me
“Out of my way” The coldness of his voice caused me to shiver, but I assumed it was because he was in pain he was trying to hold in. I hoped he would change his mind, but he entered his car and drove away.
“Dad, are you sure this is ride?” Lasked worried that we had gone too far but my father smiled. “Did you do what I told you?”
