Zane’s POV

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d never been to a witch’s coven before. I’d conjured up images in my head of women walking around naked, caked in muddy herb blends, chanting.

That was ridiculous, of course. It was probably the same way people who had never seen werewolves assume that all we do is run around in wolf form and howl at the moon. But in any case, I carried a lot witchy stereotypes with me as we walked to the coven. And every single stereotype was dispelled as we crossed the boundary into the Falcon Crest Coven.

Beautiful.

That was the first word that came to mind.

I didn't want it to be, but it was. The coven was absolutely beautiful.

“Welcome to our home,” Lucinda said, beaming with pride. And rightfully so. I’d never seen anything like it.

There were dirt paths lined with flowers that zigzagged all along the ground. The effect was a colorful symphony of flowers that sort of hit you in the face. The paths led up to a few small structures. They were likened

    Zane’s POVNever leave?As in…NEVER?I shook my head in disbelief. No way. There was no way in hell they were going to keep me captive here forever. I would find a way out. There had to be a way. There was ALWAYS a way.I decided not to respond. I had no idea what this whole ‘branding bonfire’ was all about, nor what it meant to be ‘marked by the coven’, but I didn’t really care.“He might need help in the shower,” Callie told Lucinda. “He’s not completely healed yet.”Lucinda looked at me with a lascivious smile. “I can help you,” she said. She was undressing me with her eyes. It made me feel dirty. “I’m fine,” I told them both. My head was pounding and I felt a little woozy, but there was no way I was letting Lucinda bathe me. It was bad enough that I’d impregnated her. I wasn’t going to willingly let her do anything to me.Lucinda held the door open. Inside, there was a small room with hooks for clothes. Then there were shower stalls lining each wall. It was clearly a c

    Zane’s POVI looked at this woman, this woman holding my dick, an incredulous expression on my face. Save some seed?Gross!I smacked her hand, like a child trying to take cookies from a cookie jar.“Stop it,” I said.Her breasts sagged with the weight of age. She had a mound of untamed pubic hair, and unshaved legs. The women behind her were all naked too, although they didn’t look as old. For a brief moment, I wondered if this woman was even young enough to get pregnant.Then I shook my head.What the hell did THAT matter? She was accosting me in the shower.“Come on,” she cooed, still holding my dick. She was trying to stroke it. But of course, it wasn’t responding.“He’s not getting hard,” one of the women behind her said.“Just wait. He will,” she said confidently.“Let go,” I said again, more firmly. But she wouldn’t. So I reached back to slap her across the face, hoping that would make her let go.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” another female voice said.It was Brinsle, Lu

    Zane’s POVThey acted like omegas, some of these witches. I followed Brinsle through the coven as witches giggled behind their hands and whispered, just like my omega maids back at the palace. I kept my hands cupped over my member, to try to hide at least some of my nakedness.It didn’t really work though. A few times I stumbled and let go of myself so I didn’t trip. Anyone who was looking got a good look at my flaccid, floppy member.And they were ALL looking.It was the young ones who giggled. Maybe it was out of shyness, I realized. Maybe they’d never seen a naked man before. Some of the older women smiled demurely. They had a knowing look on their face. This was nothing new to them. Then there were the ones that leered. Mostly the old women. But some of the middle aged ones too. They had a hungry look in their eyes.They wanted me.Or my dick.They wanted my dick.I was still wet as we walked through the coven. The dirt paths zig-zagged. We passed by the school house, where the ch

    Zane’s POVEerie.That was the first word that came to mind as I shook each hand, one at a time.There was something eerie about these men. They all sat, legs crossed in criss cross style, their hands resting on their knees. They all had the same serene smile on their faces. Their heads were all shaved, and they all wore tunics that were exactly the same except for the colors.Two red tunics. One brown. One yellow. And one gray.I was happy to see that there were five of them. Together, we could find a way out. I didn’t know how strong their wolves were, but with six of us all together, we had a fighting chance.I wanted to get down to business right away. There was no time to waste. I had to question them. Get all the details I could about this place. About these witches. So we could start formulating a plan.“You’re the Lycan King?” the one in the yellow tunic asked.“I am,” I said.They all bowed their heads in unison. They stayed like that, bowed, for an awkward amount of time. I

    Zane’s POVThey all stood up at once, a serious expression on their faces.“Come with us,” the one in the red tunic said.“Why?” I sighed, annoyed. Now that I knew these breeders were nothing more than witch-crazed, useless humans, I didn’t want to spend another second with them.I had to focus. I had to get out of here.“You heard her,” the one in the gray tunic said. “It’s time for the bonfire.”“Right,” I rolled my eyes. “So they can brand me. And then I can never escape.”They looked shocked by my flippant tone. “This is your initiation. Into the Brotherhood. I suggest you take this seriously.”“I don’t want to be in your brotherhood,” I told them.They all gasped.“I know this is hard for you to understand. But I did NOT come here willingly. I’m a lycan, for crying out loud. Do you have any idea how powerful I am?”“Then why don’t you just leave?” They looked very offended. I was pretty sure one of them was even pouting. I felt a little bad. I hadn’t meant to upset them. They wer

    Zane’s POVI felt my knees buckle but Brinsle caught me by the arm.The wrongness permeated the air, as thick as the smoke from the fire. Something wasn’t right here. It was the coven. It was the way they…They were all identical, somehow, in some way.I saw Lucinda then. The sight of her pulled me from my thoughts.She walked to the front of the coven. They all turned their heads back towards Lucinda, in complete unison. She was standing in front of the bonfire now, facing the coven. She had a silver knife in her hand.The knife was to brand me with, I assumed. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was painfully wrong. That’s NOT at ALL what the knife was for.I glanced around, looking for Callie. She had to be there, somewhere. But all I saw were a slew of unfamiliar faces. How many were there? It was hard to tell. Every so often, I would see a set of eyes. But then it seemed to disappear.No one spoke. Not even Lucinda. The silence was unnerving.The humans stopped far behind us. The

    Zane’s POVShe smiled sardonically at me.“You think you’re the only one with power?” she asked, using her mouth.“Is that what that was?” I asked, breathless. I was stunned by what I’d just seen. It was a power so raw, so pure, so limitless. It was awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time.NO ONE should have that much power.“Yes, that was my power source. And I know what you’re thinking.” The fire crackled behind her. “Having that much power is dangerous. And you’re right. But only if the power is in the wrong hands.”She came towards me and held out her hands, palms up. “But these, Zane, these are not the wrong hands.”I looked at her quizzically. I was only beginning to understand the depth of the power witches had. I found it odd though. They never wielded it. All those years ago, when the werewolves and the witches fought, why hadn’t they just obliterated us?They clearly had the power to do it. The power Sullivan just showed me could have wiped away the werewolves, easily.

    Zane’s POVMy eyes flashed to the silver knife in Lucinda’s hand. I assumed they would use the knife to brand me in some way. I was wrong.Lucinda stepped to the side of the fire. Then she waved her hands and a rope of green light shot out from her fingers. The green rope attached to the knife and I watched, stunned, as she tossed the knife into the fire.“Kneel,” Sullivan told me.Kneel? For her? Was she crazy? There was no way in hell I was going to kneel. The Lycan King kneels for no one.I noticed that the coven was so silent, it was though they were holding a collective breath. They were waiting for me to kneel. I glared at Sullivan.No. I would not kneel. I didn’t care how much power this bitch had. I was the Lycan King. I kneeled for no one!“You can do whatever ritual you want to me. But I will NOT kneel for it,” I seethed at Sullivan.“Is that so?” she asked. Her eyes flitted up and down on my face. Then she chuckled softly and took a step backwards.“Falcon Crest Coven, did

She was a difficult birth, Jupiter. But I made it through, of course.Who could have known the woman she would grow into?She is standing in front of the full-length mirror, admiring herself in her new gown. She’s glorious. Soft, pink cheeks and glacier blue eyes, just like Zara’s. She is the best of witches and the best of wolves – a unique hybrid that brings out both in this fluid, magical way.“Aunty Brinsle and Aunty Astrid?” she asked, looking at my reflection standing behind her. “Are they ready?”“Yes, love,” I tell her. “They are both waiting.” There’s a gentle knock on the door, and as if on cue, Brinsle and Astrid enter.“Oh Jupes,” Brinsle says, rushing to her side. “Look at you. All grown up.” Tears well in her eyes and she turns away.“I told you, no tears today,” Jupiter scolds Brinsle. But then she smiles sof

I couldn’t believe it when Eden said the name, Jupiter. It all came together in that moment. Calista told me that visions always come true. Lucinda has the vision of a young girl born with both wolf and witch, a girl that would rule over both.Lucinda assumed it would be her daughter.She was wrong.It was ours.Eden has witch blood and wolf blood.

    Eden’s POVThe wedding was small but lovely. Zane gave Brinsle away and he was so honored to do so. It was a traditional human wedding, and Brinsle was lovely in her white dress. Adrian was handsome in his traditional human tuxedo. They chose a human wedding because they couldn’t have a werewolf one since Brinsle wasn’t a werewolf and they couldn’t have a witch wedding since Adrian wasn’t a witch. So they chose a human wedding instead.After the ceremony, we all mingled and sipped champagne while the children ran around playing tag on the grassy knoll. I was so happy for Adrian as I watched him great his guests, as was Zane. We both had a soft spot for Adrian and Brinsle. They were family as far as we were concerned.But it hadn’t always been easy. It had been a slow love between Brinsle and Adrian. They were both a bit broken and they both had serious trust issues. Brinsle had a magic that was too powerful for her and a history of lashing out. She had some pretty dark secrets in her

    Eden’s POV“Lucia, how many times I have told you – get off the warrior training grounds!”I giggled. Lucia had a basket in her arms. It was lunch for Storm. I was sure of it. Lucia was notorious for this. She’d just scuttle right out onto the field, a basket full of food for Storm, and completely disrupt his warriors.“But it’s lunch time,” she said, cocking her head to the side.Storm was clearly embarrassed as she shook his head. His warriors smiled slyly. They were used to it. Lucia was a doting wife. She brought Storm lunch every day without fail.I was visiting for our monthly dinner date. Once a month, I made the trek out to see Lucia at her pack, the Santonio Pack. It was a bit of a hike, since her pack boundary was up in the hills. We’d chosen the location because of the view. After spending all those years on the island at the estate, Lucia swore she never wanted to see water ever again. So her pack was built up on the mountain on a flat plateau, surrounded only by tree tops

    Eden’s POVI cursed Zane. I cursed sex. I cursed every one in that room and the sun and the moon and anything and everything I could think of. I had known pain in my life, really bad physical pain, but nothing had prepared me for the pain that ripped through my insides every time I had a contraction.We were back in my room. The doctor and several maids were by my side, as well as Astrid and Zane. Those were the only two people I wanted in the room with me. I gritted my teeth and did my best to breathe while contraction after contraction ripped through me. Zane wiped my forehead with cold clothes. Astrid held my hand, even though I was pretty sure I’d broken her fingers with my tight grip.I was only vaguely aware of the time, but I knew it was night.“It’s a long labour,” the doctor said. “I’m sorry, but that’s just the way it goes sometimes.”Outside my window, the guests waited with baited breath. It hadn’t taken long for word to spread right after the crowning that the queen was i

    Eden’s POVI knew we invited a lot of people, but I didn’t really know how many until I saw them all sprawled out there in the garden. Thousands of people, for as far as I could see. Little children waved excitedly as I passed. Little girls giggled and whispered to their mothers:“She’s the most beautiful queen I’ve ever seen.”We walked slowly, through the crowds. I took my time, nodding and smiling as I went along. Everyone smiled back.Once or twice, a strange cramp ran through my stomach and I gripped Astrid’s hand. She looked at me, a worried expression on her face.“Eden, tell me the next time you feel a cramp, okay?” she asked.“Sure,” I said.The walk to the stage took a long time. I was so humbled that this many people had come to see my coronation. Some of them had travelled a very long way. I saw the pile of presents Astrid had commented on. Holy crap was right; it was massive!My eyes swelled. Such generosity from my people.“Oh,” I said, suddenly stopping. It was a cramp

    Eden’s POVThe sun burst through the window and I bolted out of bed. I was so happy I could sing. It was here, it was finally here! Coronation day!The baby kicked, really hard. I pressed my hand on my stomach.“No no no,” I said. “You be a good girl and stay in there just one more day.” Then I went straight to the washroom to shower.Zane and I had stayed in separate rooms last night. The girls had stayed in my room with me: Astrid, Brinsle, Murietta, Lucia, and Chloe. We’d played silly games and talked late into the night. It had been a perfect evening, with the exception of a few major cramps. It was probably just too much food I told myself. We had, after all, stuffed our faces all night long.The women were still fast asleep when I got out of the shower. I jumped onto the bed and said in a sing-song voice:“Get up! It’s coronation day!”They all groaned. Astrid rolled over sleepily, tossing her arm over her head. “Not yet,” she said.Brinsle sat up immediately, as did Chloe. I’d

I looked to Brinsle. If anyone would know, besides Zane, it was her. The look on her face said it all – apologetic.There WAS a baby.“Just listen,” Zane said.“You didn’t tell me?” I asked, embarrassed and angry. “You and…her? She’s carrying your baby?”“Eden, please. Just…come with me. Let’s talk.”But I didn’t want to talk. I wanted to run. I wanted to jump back into the lake and swim away again, like I had all those months ago.Had he been unfaithful to me? With a witch?He rushed towards me then and reached for my hand. But I shrugged him off.“I don’t understand,” I said.“So let me explain,” he told me.“Eden?” It was Brinsle. She was suddenly beside me. I felt like the world was spinning. I felt like I was going to be sick. “Just…just hear him out. Okay. It’s not what you think. I promise.”Her e

What was she talking about?“I’m guessing my invitation got lost in the mail?” the woman asked sardonically. “Zane, Brighton, Alpha so and so, nice to see you all again. Although I wish it were on happier terms.”I let Zane tense beside me. How did she know Brighton? And Zane? And was that my grandfather she was referring to.“What are you doing here?” Zane said, his voice low.“What do you mean?” she asked. “Of course I’m here. You’re burying my sister.”“This is a wolf’s burial. On wolf territory. You’re not welcome here, Lucinda,” Zane hissed.Lucinda?I knew that name. She was the head of the coven, the Falcon Crest Coven. She was the woman who had kept Zane and all the others prisoners. The woman who had personally provided Skylar with the potion for his warriors.What WAS she doing here?
