Kisses

Zoe's pov

The sun shines upon my face and I decide to turn to the other side.

I flutter my eyes open, I immediately check the time and I see it is 12 pm. Geez, how long did I sleep for? 

I reach out my hands hoping to find a body but it's all to no avail.

Vincent is not next to me but his side is still warm which means that he was here a while ago. 

I miss him.

Oh, Vincent. Thinking about him gives me butterflies.

Wait, what!

butterflies!

A few weeks ago wasn't I saying I could never fall for him?

And now I'm getting butterflies?

oh my goodness.

I am already deep into this pit of love. I don't think I can ever come out of it.

What happened last night?

I rack my brain and  I realize I just told Vincent about my past and he accepted me for who I am.

I take a shower and head to Vincent's office because I am sure that's where he will be.

He's always working. I can't wait to be Luna so that I can assist him.

Wait did I just say that I can't wait to be Luna.

What has Vincent done to me?

I open the walk-in closet and wear a yellow crop top and a fitted black skirt and leave my hair down in its curls and shoes and I head to his office.

"Enter," Vincent says before I could knock. Why am I not surprised, stupid wolf hearing? I was trying to surprise him.

Woah, where did that come from?

I enter and I see his office is a mess and there are a lot of papers there.

"Hey," I say 

"Hi," he says 

"What's wrong with you?" I ask him. 

He doesn't look up and he hands me a note.

"The war is coming to Hades. I am getting Zoesephi, sorry Zoe back and I will end your family. I will take your mate and make her suffer. You do not know when I am coming so be prepared always.  I am coming for you ~Your one true queen"

Wow that is something 

One true queen?

does he have an affair?

who is this girl I'm gonna kill!

"And that's not all," Vincent says finally looking up at me 

"Okay what else," I ask him 

"The Alpha and Luna of your former pack are missing," he says.  Wait, that means brother and autumn are missing. 

She left for his pack and he introduced her as his Luna not up to a week ago.

"Wait what!" I exclaim.

"I feel like something has to do with Matt and I have to tell you something important," he says.  Flashbacks of yesterday's conversation pop in my head. I really hope he doesn't want to drop the bomb of an affair. 

"Okay, then what is it," I say. 

But again before he could reply Jordan enters the office I feel like anytime we want to talk about something important. 

"Vincent I have to tell you something and it's about your sister, "Jordan says 

"Okay, I am coming, " Vincent says, and before he leaves he gives me a light kiss.

Jordan is always interrupting Vincent and my conversations.

I leave his office, what should I do now? 

I walked around the house and after being bored I decided to go to the packhouse and remembered that Vincent has not introduced me to the pack yet. 

So I finally decided to head back to my room.

Speaking of best friends, I haven't had a conversation with Stephanie in a while. 

I bring out my phone and start chatting with Stephanie. 

Well not exactly. it's time to reply her numerous messages.

Today

"Hey Zoe" (1:13 am)

"Hi bestie"

"Zoe I am so sorry you had to find out that way. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. please forgive me!!"

"It's fine Steph. I forgive you"

"Thank you! so what's up?"

"I decided to tell Vincent about Matt and Zoesephine"

"Woah that was brave. What was his reaction?"

"Well, he took the information well and doesn't hate me."

"You see! I told you so. You need to stop overthinking."

"I know and I will. did Vincent ever have a girlfriend? I know you stalked him."

"He never had one!"

"okay, So what's going on in your pack?"

"Wait do you know that Nate and the Luna are missing? "

"Yes, I just found out. "

"Wait how?"

"Vincent told me"

"Oh Vincent, when did the big mean alpha become friends?"

"Well ever since we kissed." 

"Wait, what! Zoe how did I not know about this? You haven't told me what is going on for a long time."

"It just happened recently. What if we are moving too fast? What if it ends badly?"

"Zoe stop all your what-ifs and you guys are made for each other. You guys are actually going very slowly in this community. Yeah. I really missed you."

"I  missed you too. I know we haven't talked in a long time and I am sorry but there's a lot going on here." 

"Okay, I forgive you." 

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Yes. I overheard your Dad talking to a strange woman about bloodshed. And a legend that's about to be fulfilled. That the signs are showing. He also talked about Zoesephine's death.

"Wait what?"

"He is asking for a way to use magic to temporarily paralyze people." 

She explained everything and my hunch was right.  So that book is actually true.

Today was a wild one. I don't even understand most of it. In all, I finally opened up myself to Vincent.

But why bloodshed?

Who caused the mistake in the first place?
