Bound to the Alpha

SPECIAL CHAPTER

A/N: This special chapter came unexpectedly. I hadn’t planned on diving into this side of Jhune and Zack’s relationship yet, but the more I imagined them as a couple, the clearer this idea became.
Honestly, the main reason I wrote this chapter was because of your support. Your enthusiasm for Jhune and Zack made me realize how much they mean to all of us. So, I wanted to give you a glimpse into their relationship.

Thank you for inspiring me, and I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Zackary's POV

"Zack..." I woke up when I heard him softly call my name.

I kept my eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. For some reason, I was curious about what he would say or do when I was asleep.

"Zack...?" he called again, and I felt his finger gently trace my cheek.

Still, I didn’t move, trying to suppress a smile as he lightly pinched my cheek.

Even though it was uncomfortable, I found this gesture of his adorable.

So freaking cute that I wanted to put him in my pocket and keep him to myself.

"Zack." His voice carried a warning. "I know you're awake. Don’t make me call you again, or I swear I'm gonna hit you," he threatened.

A wide smile spread across my lips as I opened my eyes, greeted by his gentle face, making my morning even brighter.

I gazed at him for a moment before wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling him into a tight hug.

"Good morning, babe," I whispered softly, my head nestled against his neck.

I closed my eyes, savoring the scent of his skin, and felt him hug me back.

"Good morning," he replied.

I pulled back from the hug and lay down again, resting my head on his thighs as a pillow, looking up at him.

"What?" he asked when he noticed me staring at him.

"Nothing." I smiled, taking his hand and kissing the back of it. "You just look so good with your bed hair."

I laughed as he gently tugged on my hair.

He looked away and pouted. "It's so early, and you're already teasing me, tsk."

"I'm just joking," I chuckled. "No matter how messy your bed hair is, you're still the most beautiful in my eyes."

He rolled his eyes. "You better! Otherwise, I might just gouge out your eyes if you look at someone else." He still wouldn’t look at me.

I licked my lips as I intertwined our fingers and squeezed his hand, making him look at me.

"I love you," I mouthed before I planted a kiss at the back of his hand, causing his cheeks to flush.

"Shut up." He blushed and tried to look away.

"C'mon, I know you love me," I said with a smile. "Come here and kiss me."

He was still blushing, and I could see his embarrassment, but he leaned down and kissed me anyway.

We kissed passionately, our tongues moving together with a graceful rhythm. We only pulled away when we were both gasping for air.

He licked his lips, gently easing my head off his shoulder before getting up from the bed. Standing with his arms crossed, he looked at me disapprovingly.
