Zayn's Pov
I sat on the plush leather chair, resting my elbow on the mahogany desk and staring at the stack of files scattered on it while my eyes danced in a blur as I stared at them. Affiliations, Bribery and corruption, assistant for war needed with a huge sum, Pack merging with other top packs and a bunch of what I can't seem to wrap my head against.
Everything was like a cluster in my head, causing my head to ache. I was f*****g distracted!
The growing sweet ache in my pants was making me restless as sweat formed a line of my forehead. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me what my sister was doing in the cold room. I was supposed to be disgusted at that point but hot blood rushed south of my groin making my body tremble. Her scent was still stamped in the brain, her defiant words of possessiveness made my face red and my ears itched to hear it again. But I felt blood in my tongue at the mention of someone else, going to meet such a person being Inside her made my wolf snaring in sharp death glare but she was my damn baby sister for crying out loud. A weakling whom I had to set standards for all because my father had set preference on who I mingle myself with and Nyx wasn't that person for me.
She never had a wolf which is a curse in the Espen family, she was too fragile, innocent but full of life and I didn't know I could miss someone so badly until the day she pleaded to go to Wolves Shadows. I was so mad at her decision but I laced my anger towards her with another excuse.
I thought she would be back looking wild and fierce and If anything, back with a wolf but it was the reverse case, she came with a curse to hunt me down. Looking like a f*****g jewel refined from the sea and acting like a slut by claiming me as mine.
"She's My mate! Don't call her slut!" Hal snarled at me and I swept the files on the table and slammed my palms.
"She's my sister, you i***t! Find another, I could destroy my family's legacy If this is discovered, how the hell do you pick my sister?"
"Because she's mine, I want her Zayn. She needs us too. Didn't you smell her arousal, she--"
I cut the link to my wolf before I lost it because f*****g hell, Nyx was too sweet to be ignored. Her arousal hit me at the base of my throat down to the tip of my c**k. God! I need to get her out of my head, this was never going to happen. This burning heat might disturb me but I'd rather die than commit a Taboo to disrupt the entire Plarick Pack.

I'll be getting married soon and today happened to be my engagement party. One would think that it's an actual wedding night because of the vast crowd that gathered in the Pack mansion to celebrate me.
"Congratulations dude, you're finally on your way to break free from bachelor hood." I glanced at Rune who raised a toast at me and I forced an eye roll.
"Why are you not drinking blood as usual, you seem to blend in so well with the wolves you punk." I sipped my wine and scanned the crowd and caught a glimpse of my Fiance, Lily Tyrone. She's the daughter of the Alpha of Shadow moon pack who was the founder of Wolves Shadows school. We've been dating for two years now and I would say she's perfect with her strength, needed in my pack. She would be a great assistant and a good fucker to get my heir. She's perfect for Luna and that's all I want. I eyed Rune's tumbler with suspicion and he smirked.
"It's blood."
I chuckled and shook my head, typical Rune. Always thirsty to fill his powers. " But don't worry, this one was a rogue I caught trying to sneak its way into the party and I had to set him up." He smirked at me and clicked my tongue and dropped the cup on the tray from the waiter.
Rune was a vampire and my best friend. His father was the current King in their Clan and was deadly as a lethal poison. When I took the bull by the horn to make peace and make affiliations with them, he called me a goat and told me how my blood would taste good in his tongue. I had to play along, we were in the f*****g East of the Vampire Clan and we the wolves were very vulnerable to their attack.
It took me a month to stoop myself low and worked for them to love and accept me as their own and Rune got stuck to me like a molten lava.
"Don't let anyone else drink that as well or they will puke." I warned him and he smirked, looking in a direction that got me intrigued but my fiance was already before me.
"Hey baby, I'm sorry I zoned out and left you alone." She kissed my lips. "I just had to attend to some dignitaries and keep my beauty in check before it gets ruined." She turned to Rune who wasn't staring at her but fixing his gaze ahead.
"Isn't that your sister Zayn?" He suddenly blurted out and my body heated up instantly, my wolf perked up in alert but I didn't want to see her.
"Oh you mean Nyx? She's among the maids right now, working her ass off."
"Why would she do that? Isn't she part of the royal family." A hint of disgust laced in my friend's tone and I gulped. This was so embarrassing.
"Yes Rune but she's useless, going to such an expensive school for five years to fail woefully after all the efforts thrown at her isn't something palatable. She's so worthless that I wonder if she's truly an Espen."
I glared at Lily hotly and I growled.. "You will mind the way you address my sister!"
"You know I'm saying the truth baby, stop pampering her because she's already a spoiled brat. Look at her right now, instead of serving the guests she's flirting with other Alphas shamelessly like a slut!"
She fired and Hal was ready to tear her skin into pieces until I turned my gaze to where Nyx was standing and saw her entering the VIP guest room with a Tall red haired man.
Blood flowed hotly in my veins.
