    Zoe's POVStrength surged through my veins. Every sound, every scent, every sensation felt a thousand times stronger.I looked around. The first rays of dawn lit up the compound. I heard a quick scuttling noise. My eyes snapped to the source. A cockroach moved across the far corner. I had never noticed such small details before.A breeze blew through a broken window. It felt like it pierced my skin, sending a deep chill inside me.The colors around me were too sharp. Too vivid. But nothing looked beautiful. The cement-grey walls were stained with only one other color—red. Blood. Organs. Pieces of fabric soaked in dark, drying pools.I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. Bad idea.The stench of death filled my lungs. Werewolf remains. I nearly gagged.A massacre. More blood than anyone should ever see. I couldn't take it anymore.From the corner of my eye, I saw Xavier moving closer. Before he could reach me, I stepped away. I moved toward my father.He lay face down in blood. His c

    Zoe's POVI drove the van as Dahlia instructed me.This newfound strength and these heightened senses were hard to work with. By the time Dahlia told me to stop at a clearing, the steering wheel of the van was bent and barely working.I knew Xavier had hitchhiked the ride but I was in no mental state to converse. Even if Dad were alive, I would've hated Xavier for abandoning me and choosing another over me.I stepped out and for a second just let the sounds and smells of woods envelope me. I always loved nature. It had helped me calm down back home. But I had never felt nature the way it felt now. It was like seeing the world for the first time. Like I had been wearing a dark curtain over my senses and it had finally lifted allowing me to see the true magic of the world.But I had a loved one to bury.That thought weighed on me so much that it numbed my senses again. I couldn't celebrate my first transformation or ponder on its possibility because I was too busy mourning my only relati

This meant that even if his team had arrived after Zoe and Xavier left and cleaned the crime scene. Peterson's people were going to eventually get worried and start connecting the dots. Which meant that Zoe was not safe anymore.He wanted to be with her, to be there when she broke apart in her grief. But he knew that she needed some space as well.

    Xavier took his time cleaning her. She allowed him to rinse every inch of her naked skin. He pooled water from the shower in his hands and let it drip down from her neck to her breasts and down through her belly button. It pained him to see her so unresponsive. But he hoped that she knew that he was not going anywhere now. That he had decided to stay for as long as she needed him to. Everything else and everyone else ceased to matter to him. He was done putting others over her. He was finally going to set his priorities straight and his mate came on top.When he was finally done, he grabbed a towel and wrapped her, gently walking her to the bed. He pulled a simple tee and jeans for her from her wardrobe and she did not resist. She just sat there silently staring into the void. It was a heartbreaking sight. It was like she had lost her fight. She had gone to many lengths for her father. She had faced everyone alone and now she probably felt like the sole reason for her be

    Zoe's POVI could barely think. My apartment was a mess. My heart was even worse. I didn't know what to do. Then I heard a voice."Zoe? What happened here?" Angelina asked. She looked around, eyes wide with worry.I wanted to answer, but my throat felt tight. Before I could try, she stepped forward. Then she stopped. She had seen Xavier."Zoe?" Her voice was sharp now.Xavier stood up slowly. I felt numb."Angelina, I am Xavier. There's nothing to worry about," he said.Angelina frowned. "It doesn’t look fine. And how do you know my name?"She moved in front of me, blocking Xavier. Her body was tense.Xavier raised his hands. "I mean no harm."Angelina’s eyes flicked to his cufflinks. Her expression hardened. "Tell me who you are. Now. Or I call the cops. You don’t want to know who my brother is."Xavier stayed calm. "I know who your brother is. That’s how I know you. Trust me, I’m on your side."Angelina didn’t relax. "I just got a call. My brother is missing. Now a Blood Crescent wo

    Xavier needed Zoe out of Golden Eclipse borders but Angelina was not going to let him even try to convince Zoe to come with him.So, he made a decision. He looked at Angelina and told the truth, "Zoe's father is dead."Angelina's face changed so fast. She whirled to face Zoe who had sucked a breath at the mention of her father and was looking at the messed-up floor."Goddess, Zoe, I am so sorry. What happened? How?" Angelina asked the questions to Xavier."Long story." He said with urgency, "Please convince her to come with me. I promise you, there is nowhere safer for her than my side.""Why is her life in danger? What is going on?" Angelina asked getting more worried."Because she," Xavier contemplated the truth. He had no idea if Zoe remembered what Dahlia did. Usually during the first transformations, the animals took full control and the human parts had no memory. But Zoe was not a normal werewolf and he was desperate."Her beast killed the guy who killed her father." Z

    Zoe's POVI drifted in and out of sleep, my father’s voice echoing in my mind. It felt real, but it wasn’t. I must have whispered his name. The ache in my chest was sharp.When I opened my eyes, the dashboard’s dim light greeted me. I was in a car. Xavier was driving. We were alone.I sat up, my body tense. Where were we going? Why was I here with him? My father was gone, but right now, all I could think about was Xavier."Stop the car," I said, my voice rough.Xavier’s hands tightened on the wheel. He had been waiting for me to speak, but not like this."We’re in the middle of nowhere," he said, trying to sound calm. But I could hear the restraint. He wanted to ask if I was okay. He knew I wouldn’t answer."I said, stop the car." My voice was sharper.He took a slow breath. "This isn’t a safe place. We can stop when we—""What part of 'stop the damn car' don’t you get? I don’t want to be near you. Stop. The. Fucking. Car!" My voice broke. I was done.Something shifted in his expressio
