Before I could question him, he abruptly turned and left. Days went by without his return, and everything seemed to be going smoothly until the seventh day when I overheard the maids gossiping.
"Alpha must be exhausted. It's unusual for him not to visit Bella."
"That's absurd. He..." another maid started to say, but I accidentally knocked over a vase, causing a commotion.
"Miss Bella," one of them said as they hurried away. Zion had returned, yet he hadn't come to see me. I longed for his presence, but I had a sinking feeling that May would be the one to be dismissed.
Today, I planned to confess my love to Zion and have him mark me, solidifying my she-wolf identity. I returned to my room, donned my sexiest lingerie, and covered it with a silk robe.
Summoning my courage, I stood in front of his door, the only ro Apphia's mention of my pup caused me to rush to the pack house. May and Sai kept singing the 'I told you so' song, but I tried to be brave, mind linking Zion.
