Zen's Gift

CQ 2024 entry. When Lithe Hildebrand hires Zen Starke to retrieve stolen property belonging to the Maximillian Tribe nothing goes according to plan. Lithe, a workaholic and perfectionist, convinces Zen to let him go on the dangerous mission with him for fear that if mishandled it could ruin his reputation and career. Intrigued, Zen is determined to keep his potential mate by his side at all costs. For he’s never met anyone as captivating and sensuous as Lithe. When Lithe’s life is threatened, Zen makes a bargain to protect Lithe if he pretends to be his fiancé. Pressed for time, Lithe agrees since Zen is nothing like the media portrays him to be. As a recessive omega he finds the dominant alpha irresistibly charismatic and fiercely loyal. The problem is the feelings are mutual. Despite their differences, the lovers embark on a dangerous quest that gets them more than they bargain for when they encounter murder, deception and the gift of everlasting love.

Fainted out of fright

The dead body swayed under the might of the suddenly growing wind, mouth unhinged with empty sockets where the eyeballs should have been maggots crawled out of them.

As the wind fluttered the poor monkey watched transfixed as the dead man's jaw gave away.

Another tooth fell out leaving the remainder in the jaw that swayed to one side making noise like a creaky door being blown by the wind. 

"Good Lord!" exclaimed Zen loudly as he stared at the ground littered with bones.

Zen had gone over to find the monkey and now he too stared at the dead body dangling from the trees and bones scattered beneath it

Relieved, to no longer feel alone the baby monkey scampered up Zen"s body until he was back resting in his favorite spot, Zen's wild nest of hair.

Zen's ears picked up on a large presence heading their way from a distance, he surmised they would only have a scant few seconds before its arrival.
