By LiliBeth

“No amount of time and space can separate you from the people you are meant to be with in your life.”
***
I, Zoey Carter, it was as if I was born to be punished.
An accident, I lost my parents, and that was the day I was accused of murder. All those years of bullying and torture.
Without my family, I thought my godmother's presence was a pathetic handout from the moon goddess.
But now, I'm going to lose her again!
I can't lose her, I don't want to actually become alone, a person who will never be loved!
So I have no choice, I need money and I have nothing but a sound, needed womb.
Yes, I'm going to be a surrogate!
As a rumored murderer, of course I wouldn't be accepted.
But this time, I had complete confidence that I was the best person for the job...
***
"NEXT!"
"Don't go inside!"My wolf, Tilly cries. "He will kill us!"
I know it.
But No! I must go!
Even if it means death!
I ignored a ranting Tilly and straightened my back,, look up noble and ready to fight with this jerk and his friends.
The door opens in front of me and I step inside but as soon as my eyes meet their eyes.
I can see the shock on Tristan's face to see me here, as if he just saw a horror movie that scared the shit out of him.
But before I could react his Beta is grabbing me by my arms and pushing me into the wall, while gamma Nicholas blocks in his tracks.
"What the F*CK are you doing here?! You murderer!" and grabbing my throat he lifts me in the air, holding me there.
His strength was immense, all the air was squeezed out of my airway and I felt instantly suffocated like I was drowning.
I instinctively raised my hands to try and break the grip on my neck, but it was no help at all.
Sh*t, I'm not really going to die like this!

Chapter 44 Forever!

But you can’t claim me! Zoey yells in Tristan’s face after she succeeds to escape from his kisses.

At the beginning she was lost in that sweet sensation, but when he started to caress her fragile body, she remembered AGAIN, everything he did.

Julie Klausner once said that a woman’s memory is reliable at the risk of sounding like some sort of gorgeous two-headed monster with voices of Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck, and she thinks that women, like elephants , remember absolutely EVERYTHING!

So don’t think that Zoey is holding grudges, beyond this is too much to forget and forgive relating to Tristan. And the last episode with Dana , probably pushed her over the edge.

Too late, princes, I already did it! Tristan mocks her and Zoey looks at him in disbelief.

I rejected you, jerk! and pushing him away she points her index finger in his direction , and with squinted eyes tells him.

Look, jerk… and seeing that Tristan lifted an eyebrow when she said that, she composed herself like a good little child and says in a more calm voice.

I mean, Tristan. and she blinks her long eyelashes, making Tristan laugh inside his mind, because she is simply delicious, trying to bribe him to reject her.

Trust me, I am not good for you. You already know that because you sense my weakness since we discovered our mate bond. Now I understand everything and I say you were right. You need a strong woman, and I can’t be the woman you are looking for. Just reject me. and she looks at him, waiting for his answer.

Are you done? Tristan asks and pulls her back in his arms.

Actually, I am not. I have more to…and before she could continue, Tristan turns her around and while he takes a seat on her bed, he places her in his lap, shocking her.

You can blabber as much as you want, Zoey. he tells her and arranges her hair, while at the same time he holds her tight. She is a badass and he is afraid that she will run and that’s not an option in her state.

I claimed you. We will tell the pack later , after we make it out through this love and hate relationship, or after our pup will be born, so you have six months to figure it out how to love me. and he pecks her lips to her shock.

Listen to me, Tristan… Zoey starts again, but he places his fingers over her lips stopping her. The tips of his fingers are tracing around the contour of her plumpy lips, making her feel the tingles and as he does that, Zoey’s heart skipped a beat.

I am sorry, Tristan whispers.

I know that I fu cked up royally and I am so sorry. I get it now, you are my mate and there is no other option for me.

Zoey was confused. Why does this suddenly change? So thinking about it, she pushed away his hand from her lips, but in a soft voice she asked him.

Is it because I am pregnant? and she looked at him with soft eyes. I know that you want a pup, you don’t need to force yourself in this bond. I understand, you know?

And her heart was in pain as she said that. She could never understand his reasons to avoid her for a whole year, to make her suffer.

The pup is just the cherry on the top of the cake, Zoey and this time Tristan wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pecked her lips again.

I asked you to stay away from me because I wanted you. In my stupidity I thought that if I force you to live like a rogue, and cut all the connections with you I will be alright. But I only fell into my own trap. My wolf longs for you. He wanted you all this time and never accepted my decision. It took me some time to come around but I am here and I am staying, Zoey. Mark my words. I am making you my Luna!

This is too much…Zoey whispered. I need time to think about this. but Tristan said with a commanding voice.

You have six months. At the end of this period you will have your Luna ceremony.

Six months is a lot of time, Zoey said in her mind. He might change his mind and with this thought in her mind she nodded.

Fine, it is not like I am accepting this but you will use your alpha command on me again so there is no point in arguing with you about this issue. but thinking about it, she dared to talk again.

But I have rules.

Tell me what you want and I will think about it. Tristan said.

Take it or leave it, Tristan. I am not negotiating here! Zoey said pissed off but Tristan smiled at her.

We will see about this, just tell me your rules. and he pecked her lips again, making her perplexed because the first rule is about his behavior.

One. Stop kissing me as if you are like it, or care about me. It makes me sick to see you pretending like this. Tristan clenched his hands around her waist but trying to relax a little bit motioned her to continue.

Secondly. I want to live on the omegas’ floor. I don’t like where I am right now.

Next rule, please! Tristan said, becoming more and more annoyed by her demands.

Third, you will never humiliate me again and make me lose my temper. One more episode of cheating and I am leaving this place forever. I have feelings and I am sick of having a broken heart!

Do you have more rules? Tristan asked her, and he was ready to make his response but before he could open his mouth Zoey started.

Of course I have. No more mating, no more growling at me, and I want to train too. I am Beta blood. I was born to train ! I want to live my life normally for these six months!

Tristan watched her and his mind was full of remorse, but he succeeded to compose himself in front of her and started to demolish her rules one by one.

In the first place, I will kiss you wherever and whenever I want. We are mates and being intimate with you is what made me come closer in this bond. I am not going to stop the thing that I like the most. and before she could protest he kissed her with passion.

At the beginning she fought to push him away but in the end she kissed him back, and when he was done licked his lips and continued, while Zoey was in his lap with her eyes closed and her lips pouted, waiting for another kiss.

Secondly. I will change your room. I am fine with that. he said.

You do? and Zoey’s eyes filled with joy.

Yeah, you will not stay in that room anymore. and he kissed her again.

Third. I claimed you. I am serious. I know you don’t trust me because I did a lot of shitty things to you and for that I am sorry, but I am serious. From now on I will make sure that you see this world like a bright place where you live and not like hell. From now on I want to be your heaven.

Zoey just stared at him.

He can't change so rapidly, she told Tilly. I think he is sick, or bipolar.

If he is, I am cutting his balls! Tilly said. But Viggo says he is serious! He really meant what he said.

And not at least, we are mates so we will make love every single time we feel the need to do it. Am I clear, Zoey? Only our doctor is able to stop me from taking you if he says that it is too risky for our pup, otherwise, there is nothing to negotiate with !

Tristan Mayer! Zoey growled at him. You can’t demolish all my rules! and she was ready to push him, but Tristan held her tight.

Fight with me one more time and I am taking you right here, in this hospital bed. I really love when you fight with me like a lioness, it makes me aroused. and he started to laugh seeing that Zoey’s face went blank.

That’s more like it! Tristan laughed and stood up, lifting her in bridal style.

Tell me what do you want to do now? he said, and motioned to Zoey to wrap her arms around his neck. The doctor just mindlinked me and said that you are fine, surprisingly, but you are fine. He thinks that it is because of my blood. You are healed and the pup is not at risk. So tell me, what do you say? Are we going home and mate ? and he winked at her.

You scoundrel! Zoey growled at him.

Are you mocking me? We are not going to the packhouse to mate! Just send me to my new room! and she was red like a boiled crab. He's got the nerve to ask her to mate with him?

In this case, let me present you your new room, princess! and exited with her in his arms under the shocked eyes of everyone in the Crescent Moon pack.

The doctors, the nurses, the pack members. Mason almost choked when he saw him with Zoey in his arms, while Nico was smiling broadly. So did Rose and Nana who was at home as well.

Luna, you are back! Nico joked with her , but Zoey was even more red.

Who’s your Luna, Nico? she asked, and motioned to Tristan to put her down. He just smiled at her and ignored her.

Is the room ready? he asked Rose, who was happy to the moon and back, seeing them together.

Yeah, the omegas prepared the room, and cleaned the room Zoey used before, the door is repaired and blocked, so everything is fine.

And looking at Zoey she smiled and said.

I am happy for you.

Happy for what? Zoey asked her back, but this time Nana was the one who explained.

Just make him regret that he didn’t claim you earlier, sweetie. and winked at her, motioning to Tristan to leave.

He started to climb the stairs but when they arrived at the omegas’ floor he continued to walk.

Tristan, you said that I will…

I agreed to let you use another room, I didn’t say which one! he said using a strong voice. He is done playing. This woman will ruin everything if he is not bossy around her.

YOU FOOLED ME! Zoey almost screamed at him, but her heart stopped when she realized that she was back to the Alpha’s floor.

You fucking lair! I said that…! and she stopped because Tristan was watching her so damn intensely that everything she was ready to say vanished.

This is your new room. Tristan said in the end, opening the door of his bedroom.

Are you donating me your room? Zoey asked, even if she knew that was not the case. She's not that lucky.

I am donating you half of MY ROOM. Half of MY BED, half of everything I have and I am, and I hope it is enough for you so at the end of these six months to hear you saying that you are mine!

What if I don’t want… but Zoey couldn’t finish that sentence as Tristan forced her to wrap her legs around him, and pinned her on his bed.

He attacked her neck directly and kissed his mark on her neck, making her shiver in his arms. He will not force her to be with him, as she was just discharged but she needs to understand that he can’t be away from her anymore. The mark on her neck can't be erased.

That mark means FOREVER.

Chapter 45 Be brave, Zoey!

You are a pig Zoey whispered when Tristan finished ravaging her and let her breath.

Actually I am a wolf he mocked her and got out of bed, straightening his clothes. But for you I can be a pig too, you know he is known as the champion in terms of orga sms. We will train every day until I will be a real pig if this is what you dream about.

YOU! Zoey said , completely pissed off by his cocky attitude Who said that I want to be with you? I am pregnant now, so there is no need for us to be together! and she got out of the bed too, under the horrified gaze of Tristan.

Where are you going? he asks her and pulls her back in his arms.

I am not living here, Tristan. Stop with this game. It isn’t funny at all. I will return to my room. and she tried to open the adjoining door but it was blocked.

Are you kidding me? Zoey asked in disbelief.

No, I am serious. You will live here.

Tristan Mayer… Zoey started, but his face was dark seeing her so stubborn, so she closed her mouth.

We can do this in two ways, princess, Tristan said with a serious voice. You will surrender willingly or I am making you do it, and you will not like it at all.

Zoey wrapped her arms under her chest and looking around she said.

I am not in the mood to start a new fight with you. and turning around she stared at the huge bed in front of her.

Do you want to try it? Tristan jokes, winking at her, but she just gave him an ugly look.

I am sleeping on the right side. and she knew that that was his side of the bed, because the pillow was filled with his fantastic scent.

I am fine with whatever it takes to make you stay in this room. Tristan told her and remembering something he motioned to her to come closer.

I am not going to eat you. he laughed, seeing that she sits there like a statue.

You never know… Zoey whispered but she was calm, because Tilly was almost jumping in her head because she will be so close to her mate. Stupid wolf…Zoey whispered.

Is Tilly performing a happy dance right now? Tristan started to laugh and seeing that Zoey was still ignoring him, lifted her and placed her in his arms.

She must be sick in her wolfy head, to be happy in this situation.

Viggo is the same and Tristan pecked her lips.

He is stupid too? Zoey mocked him and the moment she did it Viggo took control over Tristan and looked at Zoey with glowing eyes.

The only stupid in this story is my human! and his arms tightened around ZOey’s slim body. He placed one of his hands over Zoey’s back and leaned her on the bed slowly, while ZOey was unable to react. This was so damn hot and the possessives in Viggo’s gestures was making her heart skip not one but countless beats.

Viggo lifted her shirt and started to caress her flat abdomen.

I can’t wait to meet you , little pup. he whispered while Zoey almost peed on herself seeing the big bad wolf acting like this.

I hope that you are a girl. he continued and before Zoey could ask him why a girl and not a boy, Viggo bent and kissed her invisible pregnant tummy. When he was done he looked at Zoey and told her.

We are not joking here, Zoey. We are serious about claiming you. I want you to hear it from me too. I wanted you from the first day I found out that you are my mate. I couldn’t fight Tristan at that moment, being away from you made me weak, but the moment you returned into our lives everything changed.

It’s too fast…Zoey told him in a soft voice and caressed his beautiful face, because Viggo didn't shit, he just took control. I don’t believe that someone could change from one day to another. Maybe it's just a whim. and she was sad as she said that.

After he lost you almost three times he came around, Zoey. Can you give him a chance? Us not him. Give us a chance. He asked for six months , give it a try. You have nothing to lose.

Viggo looked into her eyes and leaned over her body, while he was supporting his weight on his elbows, he kissed her slowly, making Zoey lose her focus.

This is so good, she whispered and placed her little hands on Tristan’s cheeks.

Say yes, Zoey.Viggo begged her. Tell us your terms but accept the bond.

Accepting the bond will force them to come even more close in this bond, and only marking Tristan will remain unsolved.

Stop pushing me away. I did nothing wrong in this bond, it was this stupid Alpha who messed things, but he is done fooling around. He learnt his lesson. Viggo said again, and all this time Tristan was listening, hoping that he would make Zoey come around. He didn’t expect that Viggo would ask her directly to accept his claim.

I…Zoey said and her heart softened seeing Viggo looking at her with puppy eyes.

Be brave, Zoey, Viggo whispered, leaning and kissing her earlobe. Take responsibility for your own happiness. I promise you that me and Tristan will make you happy.

And he started to place kisses down her neck, until he reached his mark. He blew over his mark and smiled as he felt Zoey’s body becoming relaxed in his arms. Then he started to kiss the mark and suck from it, until Zoey was at her limit.

What do you say , ZOey? Viggo asked her again, with a sensual voice. Do you want to make a serious man out of me? To teach me and Tristan how to be a good mate, a good husband, why not a better Alpha?

Of course she wants to. This is what she wanted since she was a kid, to be with her fated mate. Zoey pushed Viggo a little, enough to be able to watch him in the eye and said.

"Hurt me one more time and I am done here. Believe me, I can’t take it anymore. Being mated with you
