Chapter 0171

The journey passes in silence. The safe house is more in the woody part of pack territory, so it takes us a good fifteen minutes to get to my old home…

When the mansion gates that I never thought I’d see again loom.

before me, I feel nostalgia hit me hard.

Memories of us here fill my mind and my heart squeezes.

Good, bad, sad…

“Don’t let anything they say get to you, alright?” he says quietly. Reaching over, he unstraps me and forces me to look at him. “Zaia, what’s wrong?”

“I just feel uneasy,” I admit, his gaze softens slightly before he pulls me close.

“Don’t. I’m going to be right beside you. Understood?”

I nod, about to turn away when he forces me to look at him again, his eyes flashing.

“Zaia…” His voice is deep and husky and my stomach does a flip.

“Hmm?” I ask.

“We got this…” he murmurs as he leans in, kissing me. My breath. hitches as pleasure rushes through me, making my mind turn to mush.

Since marking me, his effect on me has gotten stronger.

His lips caress mine passionately. The force of his kiss pushes me back against the seat, his lips devouring mine as he deepens the kiss.

I sigh softly as I grip the side of his neck.

1 have him…

Our hands begin roaming the other’s body, our tongues playing with each other’s. My entire body is hot and bothered. My core clenches and I’m forced to pull away, gasping for air.

He doesn’t stop, his arms now possessively caging me to himself.

We break apart when I need air and he continues to kiss my neck hungrily.

“B astien… we need to go,” I murmur.

“I’d rather ravish you,” he growls, sucking on the corner of my neck. that still feels tender from his marking.

“Oh f uck…” I whimper, digging my nails into his shoulders as a sting

of pain and pleasure rushes through me. He releases me, but I know) he’s left a mark and slowly flicks his tongue over the area.

“Sorry… I got a little carried away,” he says, gripping my jaw and kissing my lips roughly.

I moan against his lips, kissing him back sensually before we force

ourselves back.

We both don’t want to do this, but we need to.

“Right, let’s get this over with,” he says, now serious once again.

I take a deep breath, fixing my top and hair as Sebastian gets out, walking around to open my door for me.

I close my eyes for a moment and take a deep slow breath.

Here we go…

I remain calm when the door to the mansion is pulled open by a

member of staff, one I do not recognise.

“Alpha Sebastian.” He bows low.

“Your Luna, Zaia,” Sebastian responds coldly.

The man looks surprised before he quickly masks his emotions and bows deeply to me. “Luna, welcome home.”

“Thank you,” I respond politely.

Sebastian places a hand on my lower back, guiding me to the living

room.

I pick up his parents’ scents before I reach the room, feeling a little nervous as we step inside,

“Mother, Father, I’m home,” Sebastian says.

His mother, Agatha, who is sitting on the sofa with her legs up and a magazine in hand, freezes, staring wide-eyed at us. His father, who was on his laptop in the armchair opposite, doesn’t even bother to look up.

“Sebastian, you are ok! Oh my! Zaia! You are back, you are finally back!” She jumps up and rushes to us, flinging her arms around me tightly. “My Zaia! My daughter-in-law is back!”

“Mom, calm down,” Sebastian says, for the first time since this morning, I see a proper smirk on his face.

“Don’t tell me to calm down! She’s the only one who cared for me around here!” She scolds him as she cups my face, smiling happily. Her hazel eyes are full of happiness before she lets go and pulls Sebastian’s face down, kissing his cheeks and forehead.

“I was so scared when I heard you were injured, but you are in far better shape than I imagined! I am so happy you are back, Sebastian, but where are the children? I want to meet my grandchildren.”
