All Chapters of Underestimated Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ZANNICUS' POV:After what it seems like for years, the party finally ended at 2:00 am and every pack member returned to their homes while we started to clean up.Collecting leftovers and throwing them away, some took off the cloths from the tables to be cleaned and some started to get the lanterns off the branches while some washed the dishes.It took us an hour and a half to finish. I turned to them with a smile after putting away the last foldable table."Good job guys!! Thank you so much! Its 3 in the morning, you guys should head back to your rooms and rest."I told them but none made a move to leave. I looked at them questioningly."What is it?"I slowly asked and one of them answered,"Are.... you...alright?"I sighed knowing what they were referring to. I looked down for a second and lifted my gaze once more muster

.....??????????.....         "Zannicus! We need you! Hurry!""What?! What is it?!""Its Seth!!  He's wounded!!  Badly!! Rogues attacked the northern borders!!"......???...... "Its Seth! He's wounded!!  Badly!!  Rogues attacked the northern borders!!"While he was talking, I pulled out the medical kit from under my bed and we rushed back upstairs and he led me to where Seth is. We arrived at the living room to see Seth lying on the couch, blood covered his whole body as well as the couch itself.My eyes widened when I saw some trickle down the couch and onto to the floor I darted towards him dro

ZANNICUS' POV:The sun's rays lit up the whole kitchen as I was flipping the last pancake. I waited for a while then turned off the stove and placed it with the rest of pile.I glanced back at the living room to find Ronan gone.'He must be changing'I walked back to the kitchen and started to set the table just as my phone buzzed indicating that there was a message, well, messages.I pulled it out to see Veronica and Nic's names on the screen. Smiling, I opened Nica's message first and it was filled with apologies on not being able to be there on Ronan's birthday and kicking his ass because her father suddenly woke her up at 2 am in the morning telling her that the Alpha needed more warriors.Frowning, I tilted my head.'Alpha Ryder took half of the warriors with him? And the best ones at that? Mmm

RONAN'S POV:After breakfast, I went to my office to do some pack related work. But I can't focus because of a certain someone-Zannicus. The way he eased the tension between me and Seth, the day he showed concern to the pack warriors and even gave a little scolding and especially the way he gave orders.He has that calming presence, thinks about the safety of others and all the while shows authority."Luna qualities am I right?"Logan, my wolf spoke. And since I was too distracted, I absentmindedly spoke."Yeah.....Luna qualities. He'll make a good one. Wa-wait.....what did I just say?!!"A knock brought me out of my thoughts. While my wolf was snickering, I cleared my throat."Come in."I put the paper I was holding down and looked up to see Zannicus standing in the doorway holding a phone.'????, ?ℎ??'? ?? ?ℎ???.'I was about to ask how he has my pone but he beat me to it."Your

ZANNICUS' POV:When I was out of his office, I released a breath that I didn't realize I was holding. The tingles that ran up to my arm made me shiver but its a good thing he didn't notice it.After recollecting myself, I jogged back downstairs to clean up the kitchen. After washing and drying the dishes, I grabbed a small cloth and started wiping the counter. I still have to clean the living room and the bedrooms upstairs.The other omegas are either out buying groceries or cleaning the cars of the pack members. Seriously, they're even that lazy to not clean their own car?Sheesh.After making sure the counter is squeaky clean, I moved onto the cabinets. I was at the last cabinet when I felt hands on my hips, startled, the towel slipped from my hands.I spun around and Dylan was behind me still holding onto my hips. I swallowed nervously and tried to wiggle my way out of

SETH'S POV:We were walking in the dark tunnel while I was holding Zannicus' hand with only torches to give us light. Six guards flanking us.I noticed he was quiet and seems to be deep in thought."You okay?" I asked him but looks like he didn't hear me so I asked again."Zannicus? Are you all right?"He shook his head and turned to me."Huh?..uhh..ye-yeah....fine."He responded but it didn't convince me and  I was about to speak when the smell of burned timber invaded our senses forcing me to look forward as light slowly filled the place and lit up the way and dungeons filled with rogues came in view. The sound of our footsteps echoed in the whole room and the rouges who were asleep woke up and their wild, red eyes followed us as we walked.I noticed some of them were looking at something or

ZANNICUS' POV:As I opened the door, a groan was heard from where I guess is the living room. I dropped the kit beside the door and peeked into the said room juss in time to see Ronan trying to sit up so I rushed to his side startling him but relaxed upon seeing me."Do you still feel the pain from the wound? Any burning sensation?"I asked while inspecting his wound. The corners of lips twitched or was that my imagination?"Nope...all good. There's still some sting but other than that, nothing else."I nodded then glanced at the clock'6:03.....I have to start preparing dinner.'"Stay here okay. Don't you dare try to walk around without me or else I'll break your legs. I'm just gonna wash up then prepare dinner."His eyebrows raised in amusement and a small smile was on his face."You do know I'm the Alph

SETH'S POV:I was so disappointed at Ronan's lack of response. Nic was really angry this time. He scared the shit out of me when he suddenly lunged forward so fast and hoisted Ronan up.My attention was drawn to Zannicus when he emitted a small whimper. Then Nic let Ronan go and went to Zannicus immediately wrapping his arms around him and turned him so Zannicus' back was facing us.I got even more angry when his shoulders started to shake. He started to walk away with Zannicus leading him towards the basement."Dinner is in the kitchen. You guys go ahead, I'll follow in a bit. Let me tend to Zannicus first."He said and we all responded with a nod. When they were no longer in sight, I turned to Ronan and was about to tell him off when Isaac beat me to it."Why did you?"He spoke as we all looked at him. Ronan just glanced at him then turned away again.

ZANNICUS' POV:Seth sat down next to me on the bed while Nic was leaning against the wall next to the door. Probably to strangle Seth if he tries to escape after hearing everything.Seth just continued to stare at me and after receiving a nod of encouragement from Nic, I finally opened my mouth to break this thick silence."I suppose you wanna know everything? When I shifted?""Everything. When did you shift?"He replied with a firm voice, a passivr expression plastered on his face."I shifted at the age of nine. I woke up feeling pain all over my body. It felt like something was boiling me from within. I felt like I was being stabbed all over.I ran out of my room, out the house and went out to the backyard. I thought I'd be alone and I tried holding back my screams but then Nic came out.He said he was reading when he heard small whimpers and whines

UNKNOWN'S POV:"WHAT?!!"The man abruptly stood up making the chair fall backwards.The two wolves flinched at the loud bang it produced before forcing themselves to look back to their leader."Are you sure??"The man asked in such a low tone making the two shiver and bow as they replied in unison."Yes Alpha. We saw it with our own eyes. He found out.""How?!""He followed them back to his room. He told him everything."The man roared in anger as he flipped the table aside, shattering it to pieces as it hit the wall."The beta knowing was not part of the plan! He was supposed to die in that ambush! That f*cking omega wasn't supposed to be there."He sighed as he turned, his back facing the two trembling wolves."What do we do Sir?""Just watch them. The b
