The Princess’s Broken Alpha
Chapter 35

"I'm proud of you"

"For what?"

She shifted and settled resting her head sideways on his chest.

"For sticking it out and sticking through it all." she told him confidently.

"Don't tell me you're getting soft on me now?" he teased.

"I've always been soft on you"

He twirled her hair around in his hand tightly and tugged at it and she bit her lip.

"I like that you're soft on me."

He was watching her reaction and knew she liked it.

She didn't want to lose track with him. She had another important question she wanted to ask. It was important to their relationship moving forward which she was still unsure about because he hadn't said anything about it yet though it felt like he had given in to her. Would he finally be hers?

"You had a mate before?"

"Mhmm"

He answered vaguely.

"What happened?"

"You're asking a lot of questions"

"And I need you to answer some of them."

He tugged at her hair again and she gasped. Kiarra glared up at him and he smirked at her.

"I was mated to Jessica Smith"

"When?"

"Seven years ago. I was twenty two and pretty naive if you want to call it that. Found out one day when she came to my office."

"You were happy?"

"I was" he confirmed.

In comparison to their meeting Kiarra thought. Zion noticed the slight changes to her features and decided he better explain that it was different. That they were different.

"I was young and wanted to fit in even though I would never admit it. Mates are the biggest deal of all. Everybody dreams of replaceing their mate. It's one of if not the greatest moments in our lives and you cannot wait to replace your soul mate.Visit Job ni b-.com to read the complete chapters for free. I thought if I found my other half everything would be complete. I would have someone meant for me, that would be solely mine and I would be theirs. They would accept me irrespective of what I was. To have someone understand you and them. That person would see beyond my wheelchair. I would be happy, make a happy home and even thought of the possibility of having children running around."

"She didn't accept you?" Kiarra asked softly.

"At first she did. I had just turned alpha and I was more than ready for a luna; the pack was more than ready for a luna. I wanted to prove myself I guess. Everything would be complete then. So the minute she walked and it hit me I was ecstatic. I was ready. Everybody was happy for me but as I said I was young, desperate and naive."

Kiarra knew where this story was going and she listened to it in horror. She took advantage of him.

"She was pretty and I was so eager I would have done anything for her just to have someone claim me. She took advantage of all of that and the perks that came with it. So she accepted me as her mate and of course everyone knows they're soon to get a luna. She never once gave the impression that something was amiss or that she didn't want the relationship. I had dived in deep. She was always lovey dovey and over the moon that we were mates. She laid it on thick and I fell for it hard. We made endless plans for hours of all that we were about to do with our lives. I had already built a house in preparation of whenever I found a Luna."

"It's the old one in the forest away from the other homes"

"Yeah I had everything planned for my future. She even told me she loved me. I was so gullible. She never wanted to be with me. She only wanted to be Luna and the perks that came with it. In truth she thought the bond was a curse by the moon goddess and she was disgusted by the sight of me. You would think after the hours of being with me she would even have the slightest of feelings to be even decent to me in letting me down but no. She was ruthless. She called it quits when I found out she was seeing someone else behind my back. Said she realized she was worth more than me and that not even being Luna was a good trade off to a lifetime spent with me. I was devastated"

Kiarra could feel the anger slowly seeping into her for someone hurting him like that.

"After that I did say I was desperate so I took her back. I'm not proud of it but it has helped to build character I guess. She shot everything down after that. She also did not hide her dislike about me from the pack members. Daniel tried to talk to her since a ceremony was being planned and I had to listen to how she truly felt and that was when I really got it.. She left the pack and that was that. I was ruined. She broke my heart and my trust but I got over it. It made me older and wiser."

So that's why he gave Kiarra a hard time.

"Do you still have feelings for her?"

"No. This is different. You're different"

He wasted no time in letting her know. His words warmed her. He was a beautiful man and he was hers.

"So are you mine Zion?"

He pulled her up so their faces were close and brushed her hair back staring into her fiery brown eyes.

"What about when have children? They will see their friends doing things with their fathers and feel left out. I won't be able to teach them how to be wolves and do certain things with them, you know dad things."

She smiled at him.

"There are other things you can teach them and being a wolf isn't just limited to what you do on your legs. Plus I will be there, my legs function fine and you have two brothers one of whom seems to be a fitness junkie. We will be more than fine and happy." He was making sure she understood what she was in for. What she would have to settle with.

"Anastasia do you understand what this means? I can handle the comments about me but I don't think I could manage what people would say to or about you because of me."

"I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself"

Before he could speak she cut him off.

"And there isn't a single doubt in my mind that I want you and you will have to suffer me because I'm not going anywhere"

He felt proud and relieved hearing her declarations. He wouldn't know how to go on if she did.

"You are relentless"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time and I'll only have the best. What if you made me the happiest lycan?"

His eyes scanned her face and she held her breath, her heart drumming against her rib cage.

"I'm yours" he told her.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Now that she mentioned it he actually was. It was almost midnight. He really had been out for quite a while and he tried not to think of the weird dreams he had been having.
