Chapter 29

Kiara stared at Zane with wide eyes then scoffed and yanked her hand out of his grip.

“Yeah whatever. Go order the food already, I'm hungry" Zane frowned as he stared at her. He had

just professed his love to her and she totally ignored it? That honestly felt like a slap in the face.

When Kiara heard the door close after Zane left, she let out the breath she had been holding.

When Zane told her he still loved her, her heart skipped a beat. She knew deep down that she still

loved him no matter how hard she tried to deny it, no matter how hard she tried to cover up her

love for him with hate and blame him for the way her life turned out, she still loved him.

He was the first man she ever loved, the first man she had ever laid with and the first man that made

her feel loved. She remembered how both of them couldn't go a day without seeing each other and

always find a way to meet even if the other person was super busy.

That period he went to Paris was embedded in her mind. She had called him wailing hopelessly and

begging him to come back because Samantha was being a pain in the butt and her parents had

taken Samantha's side. Heather hadn't been feeling fine at that time so Zane was the only one she

thought to call.

After she called him, she had been surprised when he arrived at the pack the next day even though

his meeting hadn't ended yet.

“I couldn't stay there knowing the love of my life was hurting here" Those were the exact words he

had said to her that day yet, he had been the one who turned his back on her without even giving

her a second chance.

Why was she still in love with him after all these years?

She sighed then stood up from the bed and walked towards her luggage before picking out a

nightgown she had bought from the stores that day. The staff at the store were very adamant on

her taking this particular night gown and since it was free and was her style, of course she took it.

She shook off all thoughts of Zane as she walked into the bathroom. She stood under the shower

and immediately felt better when the water ran down her body.

By the time she came out and got dressed, she felt truly refreshed and her mind seemed to be more

open. In fact, she felt free all of a sudden after coming to terms with her current situation.

She glanced at herself in the mirror then sighed before walking out of the room

She walked into the living room and found Zane seated on the couch with his legs crossed as he

scrolled through his phone but as soon as he noticed her presence, he turned towards her and a

smile appeared on his face.

As his eyes trailed down her body, even though she was fully clothed, she suddenly felt naked.

“I see you really did pick out the gown I wanted you to specifically get because I knew it would look

good on you and I was right" Her eyes widened.

“You... were you the one that made almost all the stores at the mall give us all those things for

free?" He nodded with a smile.

“I knew if I had given you or Heather the money, you wouldn't have taken it so I did the most

reasonable thing I could think of and paid the stores huge amount of money so you could get

whatever you wanted" Her heart dropped. So Levi had taken credit for what Zane did? He had

wasted so much money on her and Heather and now, he was still wasting money on her. Why? Just

so he could sleep with her?

"Why are you doing all this? If you're doing all this just because you want to get me to sleep with

you then I'm sorry but that's not going to happen” Zane furrowed his eyebrows then sighed before

getting up.

"When I told you I missed you, did you think I was just joking? I just don't want to sleep with you,

although that would be a good bonus but, I really just want us to go back to the way we were for

these seven days. I know you won't believe me but I promise, after these seven days, I won't bother

you again after this" She stared at him for a while but before she could say anything, the elevator

bell rang.

She stared at him for a while then sighed before walking towards the elevator doors, leaving Zane

devastated.

A man dressed in a fancy suit with some staff behind him, came with trays of food in their hand.

They bowed their heads at Zane before carrying the food straight to the dining table.

As soon as they were gone, Zane turned to Kiara then smiled before walking closer. He reached out

for her hand and was Surprised that she gave him her hand willingly.

“I'm not going to force you into doing anything so if you wish to still hate me during this Vacation

then I'm okay with that. I will still spend time with you and spoil you just in case I never see you

again” She frowned. Why was he saying it like that?

“Go eat before it gets cold” He murmured with a smile then leaned down and placed a kiss on her

cheek before walking away but he immediately paused when she spoke;

“So... s0 if I agree, we would only get to go back to the way we were for seven days, right?" Zane

immediately turned to her and nodded.

"Yes" He took slow steps towards her then stared down at her eagerly as soon as he was close

enough.

“No.... No strings attached?" Her heart was thumping in her chest and her wolf was screaming at

her, trying to tell her she was making a bad choice because no matter how much they tried to

convince themselves, there were going to be strings attached.

“No strings" Zane murmured then his eyes trailed down to her lips. This was wrong, this was going

to cost her a whole lot but if it meant she could go back to that time when she was at her happiest...

then why not?

Without thinking, she stood on her toes and pressed her lips on his...
