All Chapters of Underestimated Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ZANNICUS' POV:I was still in the kitchen washing the dishes and I'm currently scrubbing the pan I used for the bacon. The guys already left for training.I guess they're going to the clearing in the east. The pack members will ask what the training is for if they saw them training in the backyard so I guess its best if they don't know.I was humming a song when I felt a sting of pain flash through my body eliciting a sharp gasp from me. But it was gone the moment it came. I shrugged it off and continued to scrub when it came again but it remained for a few seconds longer making me pant and bend over the sink, almost dropping the pan.I nearly jumped out my skin when a hand gripped my hip and the pain came back but it was accompanied by an electrifying sensation right on where the hand was.I gripped the sponge as I hissed.Short pants came out of my mout

RONAN'S POV:"Okay again!"I shouted at one pair who seemed out of it as they keep tumbling at each other.'My gosh. What happened? Are they drunk?'Seth jogged up to me panting."Good Goddess. What happened to our warriors? Their bodies are like jello.""I know."I said annoyed as the pair I was watching turned themselves into a pretzel. Francis walked up to me from the other side."We're so out of practice. I didn't reakize that it was this bad. They can't even do the basics anymore.""We need more wolves, someone who's good."Gabe spoke as he patted himself with a towel. I didn't even realize him standing behind me."But who? All our best warriors are with Alpha Ryder. The only ones left are Francis, Gabe, Isaac, Ronan and I. Nic came back. But that's it."Seth

   ?••••••PREVIOUSLY••••••?                "Can you train with us?.."   ••••••NOW••••••Silence engulfed the whole forest as I continued to stare at Francis with a blank face. The only sounds that were heard are the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves as the wind blew.Gabe was the first to break the silence."Zannicus....?""Why?"I asked and they looked at each other first before turning their attention back to me."We....need more wolves."Fran

ZANNICUS' POV:When we arrived back in the house, everyone immediately zoomed upstairs to clean up and rest. It was already past four so I went directly to the kitchen and started to wash the plates.Seth suddenly came up beside me surprising me. He went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water."So, what was your decision?"I turned to him while scrubbing raising my eyebrows in question."Are you gonna train with us?"I nodded and turned back hearing him sigh quietly."Yeah, starting tomorrow.""Are you sure you'll be fine?"I smiled feeling my heart flutter at the sound of concern behind those words."Of course I'll be fine. I can handle myself Seth, don't worry.""Mmm. Okay then. I trust you. Besides, you can definitely handle yourself knowing who you are now."He sa

SETH'S POV:It was quite amusing to see my best friend blushing beet red when he was caught ogling at Zannicus when he came into the room. And it made me smile a bit when I heard him muttering under his breath 'they're seeing what they're not suppose to see' I wanted to run up to him and cover him with my shirt but I didn't. It seemed like he wasn't in a good mood when he spoke to us in an almost growling tone.And also because, I felt like I shouldn't. Its like something was stopping me.We were currently at the table eating the food and the guys never stopped teasing Ronan about it. He glared at them but it just sent them into another fit of laughter. I joined in from time to time but stopped when he directed that glare at me. If only looks could kill, we'd probably be 50 feet deep underground by now. I'm pretty he's going to come up with a plan of

ZANNICUS' POV:Its twelve forty two and I'm sitting on the edge of my bed feeling excited for the run. I lied down for a while and as time passed, a knock echoed in my room just as the clock struck one.I stood up and opened the door smiling as I stepped aside and let Seth in. I closed the door and turned to him. "You ready?"I asked and he nodded walking over to my window."Are you?"I smiled and nodded as well. "You go first. I'll meet you outside"He nodded and yanked off his shirt. Swallowing, I quickly turned feeling my cheeks flush. I heard him chuckle and the ruffling of clothes. I heard bones cracking, groans then a bark. I turned to see him in his wolf form. '?? ????? ?? ????.'His tail wagged before he went to the window and jumped out.

SETH'S POV:The three of us managed to come back on time and a couple of minutes after Nic and I plopped down on the sofa, Ronan came down.The smile never left my face. Nic just grinned like a cheshire cat at both me and Zannicus which resulted in Zannicus blushing like a tomato while we were on our way back. My wolf kept growling while mumbling something and whimpering then cut me off again. I tried to reach out but he blocked me.Which was the very first time it happened to me.Oddly enough, I feel different while we were making our way back.Ronan came down. His footsteps were silent then we felt his gaze. Peeking an eye open, we each gave a nod and waited until all of the warriors were gone. As soon as the last one came stumbling down, Ronan closed the door. He sent us a last order before cutting our connection off. Nic stood up and peeked through t

ZANNICUS' POV:I woke up, the sun's warm rays shining on my face. I stretched on my bed and heaved out a sigh. I sat up, swung my legs over the bed, the cold floor was enough for me to be fully awake and stood up.I then made my way to the bathroom to take a shower.Before leaving the bathroom, I checked my bruises and wounds and found that all were now healed.I changed into black jeans and a plain dark blue shirt. While ruffling my hair, I glanced at the clock to find it was nearing lunchtime.'I'm starving. Ax? Are you alright? Why are you whining?''Nothing Zannicus. I'm fine'His voice sounded somewhat strained and I was tempted to push but decided against it and just I shrugged it off. I opened the door and went upstairs.Upon arriving in the living room, I did a double take as I

RONAN'S POV:The day passed by pretty quickly and before we knew it, we were already on our way back to the house. I pulled my phone out from my pocket to look at the time '3:37 pm'Enough time to clean up and prepare for my stroll with Zannicus.I told my warriors that we could go home early and to say they were happy would be an understatement, they were actually crazily overjoyed that some even jumped up and down like a kid being handed a new toy.But, I did have my revenge. Let's just say, they won't feel their legs for a couple of hours."Alpha?"I turned to the voice- ???, ??? ?? ?? ???? ??????? ???????? -and raised my eyebrows in question."Good luck on your date."At that, I managed to humiliate myself by tripping over a rock and they bursted out laughing."It-its not a d-date!"

RONAN'S POV:It felt good that I finally told him. It's true, I blamed myself for leaving that night, but when I saw my father come out of his room, my heart stopped and I could feel my stomach churn in extreme discomfort.I wanted to go to him, but I couldn't bring myself to. I locked myself in my room for weeks.His face paled when I told him my father's intentions. But when I told him that I defended him, it was like he couldn't believe me. But he smiled at me and didn't thank me by his words but by his eyes instead.He held my hand when he reassured me that nothing happened and boy was I glad. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I felt him gently grab my chin which made me stop breathing for a while. He lifted my head and looked at me directly in the eye as he asked."Was that why you couldn't look at me whenever I was around? It wasn't just because of your father telling you t
