Zane's POV:Coming to WolfsBane I only had one thought in mind: To set myself free from the grasp of my over ambitious grandmother.But as I suspected WolfsBane was plagued with crime. And the orchestrators were Panther Shifters, so I started tracking them down. I followed them to their missions, several hideouts and respective homes but I was never able to catch a glimpse of their boss.After their last mission a few days ago, I followed them to their hideout for a meeting. They had a discussion about spying on a girl from Brown's Bar, they claimed that it was their Boss’s orders.The first time I stepped inside Brown’s bar, I felt a strange pull as I moved closer to the counter. I thought that the red-haired girl that attended to me was my Mate so I quickly left before she could feel the Bond as wellBut the very first night that they had an issue with Lila, I had to help her.Unexpectedly, I discovered that the pull I felt the previous day wasn't towards the red-haired girl but it

Lila's POV:“What do you want?” I asked, trying to remain calm. I wasn't scared; I knew I could handle them myself, but I needed to be careful.“Where’s that puny Wolf savior of yours?” He demanded. “I don’t see him around, so she must be all alone.” Someone behind him said.“He wasn’t so puny when you nearly peed your pants earlier.” I retorted, trying to think of a way to create a distraction. I wasn’t weak, but I knew my limits. I could take them on, but it would definitely cost me some bones.I didn’t have a chance to think because the Leader lunged himself at me, but I was able to push him aside. Without warning, three massive panthers, their fur black as midnight, emerged from behind me. Their yellow eyes that glowed like embers in the dark were locked onto mine.‘Fuck! How did they transform so fast?’I barely had time to react as I rolled to the side when one out of the three Panthers lunged forward, its claws slashing the air where I had just been. I scrambled to my feet, d

I jolted awake, my heart racing and sweat dripping down my forehead. I had a nightmare about him. I took a moment to catch my breath, reminding myself that it was just a dream.“Breathe, Lila. You’re safe.” I whispered to myself. “You didn’t see him last night, okay? After scolding your mom, you went to your room and had a good night’s rest. You dreamt about was him showing up at the door, it wasn't real. It was just a dream and nothing more, so calm down, Lila.” I swung my legs over the side of the bed and my feet landed on the cool floor. After brushing my teeth quickly, I washed my face. I caught my reflection in the mirror: I had tired eyes, I usually tied my blonde hair into a messy bun but it was currently a lot messier. “I won't let you haunt me any longer.” I said to myself, as I stepped into the kitchen.Surprisingly, my mother was seated on a stool at the kitchen counter, legs crossed, putting on a white robe and sipping piping hot coffee. I ignored her and walked to the f

I left the bar right after the incident with the Panther shifters. I hadn’t even caught the name of the strange guy who saved me. Because Jess had stepped out to look for me, and when I turned to introduce her, he was gone. And she didn’t even remember seeing anyone there.But honestly, that didn’t matter right now. I had been abducted by my boyfriend of eight months, then I fell to my death, and suddenly I found myself sent back into the Past.When we first met in the past, on May 12th—exactly eight days from now—he came into the bar for a quick drink and flirted with me while I took his order. We hit it off, and within a week, I was his girlfriend. We stayed together until January 12th, the very day I died and was Reborn.This second chance must be my last opportunity to avoid him. I just need to ensure I didn’t cross paths with him on that very day.“Thank you, Moon Goddess, for this second chance. I promise to make the best of it,” I prayed aloud, my hands clasped together as I ga

Lila's POV:Branches whipped against my skin as I ran through the underbrush, my breath coming in ragged gasps. I stumbled over roots and stones, but I couldn’t stop. I wouldn’t let it catch me. I could hear it behind me—the growls, the snarls, the howls piercing the night, chilling me to my core. Prompting me to run faster, but I was already on the edge of exhaustion.In an instant, my foot slipped and I tumbled into a ditch. The world began to spin as I hit my head against something hard. Pain exploded through my skull, blood oozed out of the side of my head, and before everything went dark, I saw him— standing before me.“You should have just let me have my way with you, you would have been useful that way. Now you will rot away, and become useless.” He said, with his right leg placed on top of my belly. “Mtch.” I heard him hiss, and that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out._____I jolted awake, the scent of wood polish and beer was familiar. I pushed myself up, my he
