Zorȧ
My heart truly belonged to Darius. I was lucky.
Nellie did not have a Darius that would sweep her off her feet and rescue her, so she had to deal, but hearing her open up to me like this made me afraid.
I wasn’t her best person; in fact, there was friction between us, and I doubted it would change. For her to tell me this meant she was desperate.
I tried to remain calm while I waited for her to respond.
“I think he is behind this, Zora,” she said and bowed.
“He might feel cheated. He is an Alpha, and he is older than Darius. If he weren’t a bastard, he would have been the lord of the north. I am sure he knows I am the reason Collier could not marry his mother properly,” she said, and I wondered if she was speaking from knowledge and not just a hunch. There was no way she wouldn’t know what was going on in this David’s mind if she wasn’t privy to it.
I looked at her for a bit.
“Are you sure about these things?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“I can’t lie about this,” She responded, and I wanted to beg to differ, but I held my tongue.

“You know if I tell Darius about this man, he will hunt him down, and there will be no going back from this,” I said and sighed.
“Are you sure he is a threat to my mate?” I asked her, letting her know Darius was my first concern, and she nodded. I smiled because I had her right where I wanted her.
“In that case, I need you to come clean about it. Tell me how you are so sure this man is a threat?” I asked her, and she looked at me and nodded her head.
“I do not know how to explain it, Zora, but I just have a hunch. At least let us find him, and then we will know what to do
from there,” She explained, and I understood what she wanted from me.
Nellie wasn’t sure of her hunch, and she knew Darius would not have a subtle approach, and his approach could
aggravate this David. She wanted me to tell Darius about David and make sure he is subtle about it.
“Very well then..” I said, and just then, I heard Darius’s voice in my head.
“Where are you?” He said, and I knew he had woken up and wondered where I had gone.
I got off the couch
and looked at my barefoot.
“On my way back to you, darling,” I linked with him, and he was quiet.
“I have to go back,” I told Nellie, and she nodded and looked
at me.

“I am truly happy for both of you. I know it may not seem so, but I am. I am also begging you not to break his heart, Zora. Shanon left my baby wounded, which is why I have been uptight. Please.” She said and looked at my tummy.
“I am sure you two will make a great family,” She said, and I
smiled at her.
“I cannot hurt him, Nellie, and he knows it. I love him with everything I am, and I have turned my back on everything just to be with him. My love and heart are in his hands. I hope he does not break me,” I said, and she could not speak.
I did not owe her the explanation that I had rejected my fated for his sake. That was to remain between Darius and me, but she needed to know that I was in my relationship a hundred per cent, and I did not plan on ever letting my man go.
I hugged her and assured her everything would be alright before leaving her room and heading towards mine. I bumped into Cindy on my way, and she looked at my foot.
One thing I noticed was she was lurking around our corridors too much. I know Darius was easy on her, but this wasn’t her wing.
“Good Evening, Luna,” She said to me, already according me the respect of Luna.
“Hello, Cindy,” I said, and she looked at my barefoot.
“Is that because you are pregnant?” She asked me with a tinge of jealousy, and I smiled.
“No, dear, it is so I can sneak around the place unnoticed,” I said and walked away from her.

I felt her eyes on me, and I turned to wink at her.

I wanted her relaxed and a little bit on edge simultaneously. She was bound to make mistakes faster when on edge than when relaxed.
“I entered the room and went to bed. Darius wrapped his arm around me and kissed my neck.
“The bed was cold,” he said, and I turned to look at him.
“Since when did a cold bed start troubling you?” I asked, wanting to laugh.
“When you started sleeping in it, Zora,” He said in his low deep voice, and it made me shiver in a good way. Darius knew how to turn me on, and this was one of those.
He came on top, and I knew the night would be longer than expected.
We had breakfast in the morning with our friends, and Darius brought up the investigation.
“I will want us to go through the things in late Jenny’s house,”
Darius said, and Marcel looked at him.
“Have you told the Lawrences about it? Especially Vino. She might be occupying a Babanin seat, but she is still his aunt.” Marcel said, and I was a bit surprised that Jenny was Vino’s aunt, but the name was a dead giveaway. She was Jenny Lawrence; I just thought she was a different Lawrence. In light of this, things were a bit confusing in my head.
“I do not need permission, especially when I am trying to figure out why she was killed,” Darius said, and Marcel

“Sign me up,” Eloise said immediately, and Raphael looked a bit pissed at her.
I understood why she committed herself quickly because she knew he would try to stop her because of the pregnancy.
“Are you sure it is the best way to go?” Marcel asked Darius, and he nodded.
“I knew my mother wasn’t the target of that attack. Jenny might have been involved in something or known something to be eliminated.” Darius said, and Marcel sighed.
“What about the wire transfers that Lily was working on? Does it show any funds leading to or from Jenny? We have to check everything knowing that your father almost wiped them out.” Marcel asked.
“They should lead somewhere,” Marcel added, and I
remembered her phone call and contemplated bringing it up,
“All those anonymous transfers lead to the south, and now some are going east. I have asked Lily to take a break. I cannot leave her with a computer unattended, and I want to spend time with Zora. So I will find another way to trace the
transfers,” Darius said and touched my hand. He kissed it, making my body shake.
