He was right about that. To me, it shows how much Chayton loves Elizabeth. Just the thought of having those leeches in my house makes my flesh crawl.

After finishing up at the lumber site, Zyion and I make our way back toward town.

“How’s Phaedra?” Zyion asks out of the blue. “I haven’t seen her much lately.”

“She’s keeping her distance. This isn’t easy for her. So far, the parasites have had no contact with her. I’ve made sure of it.”

Every day, I check in on Phaedra. She reminds me constantly how unhappy she is about this arrangement.

“I can’t imagine how hard this is for her,” Zyion says. “Many of us know of someone that knows someone that lost a loved one to a bloodsucker. But Phaedra is the only one among us that has lost someone to those monsters.”

I tamped down on the sadness that sweeps through me.

“My sweet, Zo,”the memory of the soft female voice whispers in my head.

I chase it away, shutting my eyes to tap down on the pain.

“Yeah, she’s the only one.”

Zyion and I separate after a while. Him heading to the cafeteria and me going toward Chayton and Elizabeth’s borrowed cabin.

“Well hello, stranger,” the familiar female voice calls out to me.

I stop in my tracks and turn around to meet Nadia. She came here a few months ago from a pack down south. She moved out here with her grandparents and brother. The moment I laid eyes on the she wolf, I knew I had to have her.

She’s curvy, just the way I like my women. Her golden tan skin is flawless, and her full lips are enticing. And when she wraps them around my cock, they feel even more magical.

I hold out my hand for her. She takes it and I pull her into me. She tucks her plush body up against mine. I drop my lips to hers, loving the way they feel.

“What are you doing out here?” I ask, staring down into her green eyes.

She grins. “I was looking for my brother. But I think he’s at the dining hall. What are you doing out this way?”

It took me a week after Nadia showed up to have her buck naked, pressed up against a tree, taking my cock. The way I wanted her, you would’ve thought she was my mate, but my wolf wasn’t interested.

“Still not interested,”he grumbles.

I ignore him.

“I’m having dinner at Chayton’s tonight. The vamps are coming over.”

She gasps, taking a step back. “Is he friends with them now?” The disgust on her face is common.

“No, Luna invited them over.”

She shakes her head. “That’s the problem when you have a human as a mate.”

I take a step back from her. I understand Luna is human, and she sees things differently, but I won’t stand for anyone slandering Elizabeth Elom.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Nadia's eyes widen. “Nothing, I was just pointing out that she doesn’t know any better.”

I wasn’t really feeling her excuse, but I let it slide.

“I have to go,” I say, letting her go.

“Enzo,” she calls out for me, stopping my retreat. “I really meant nothing by that comment. Elizabeth is an incredible Luna.” She touches my face, turning me toward her. “Can I see you tonight?” Her voice drops, causing my dick to harden.
