Chapter 5
(Zion’s POV)
The next day at school. Lily walked through the corridors in a skimpy skirt, knee–high boots, and a blouse so tight it left little to the imagination.
And just like that the whole damn school stopped.
Jaws dropped. Conversations died. Lockers, halfway shut, hung open as their owners forgot whatever they were doing
The unmated male wolves gawked, their eyes filled with hunger, their bodies shifting restlessly as if drawn to her. A few whistled, and even howled
Even the girls weren’t left out. Their faces were twisted with jealousy as they threw insults to cover up their insecurity.
“Desperate much?” one sneered
“She looks like a pick–me girl,” another scoffed.
But it was all a lie.

I saw it in the way their eyes darted to the boys
If they were too long, and unappealing.
And Lily?
She didn’t care.
For the first time, she walked like she owned the damn place
Her head high, shoulders back, with every step slow and deliberate. Her aura was thick and commanding, like something ancient had awakened inside her.

By,” I called as she came close, but she just walked past me like I didn’t even exist.
My eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t stop but made her way to Lucien who was by his locker, sorting through his things
Luces had been ignoring me since last night, and I knew why I had put him in a tight spot by pushing Lily at him in public. Only Kade, Celeste aud her minioni hung around me

Seeing them together, I realized that I couldn’t stand it.

I stormed into my private training room, stripped off my shirt, and slammed my fist into the punching bag
Then again.
And again
And again
Crack! Ragnar’s energy flew the punching bag through the window crashing it as the glass shattered to the floor.
My breath came fast, my muscles ached, but none of it was enough.
I hated this. I hated feeling this way.
I had spent years forcing myself to ignore Lily. Convincing myself that it was wrong. That she was my sister. That whatever I felt didn’t matter.
But it did.
The night I finally touched her, she had been so soft beneath me, her body molding into mine like she was made for me. I remembered how her breath hitched and her body trembled when I thrusted into her for the first time.
She had been mine. Completely.
And I had taken her, pot gently, not patiently, but desperately. Because 1 needed her.
Because I couldn’t hold back anymore
But even then. Even when I was inside her, when her breathless moans drove me insane, when her nails dug into my skin like she never wanted to let go, the guilt was there.
And it made the pleasure unbearable. Made me rough. Made me take her like I could erase what I had done to her, erase the years I had ignored her, erase the ache in my chest that refused to go away.
But I couldn’t
