Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0032
Once again, I found myself floating out of Zane’s room and through the hallway while my mind struggled to keep up and process what I had just been told. I was…a hybrid? A werewolf and a witch? The thought, at first, felt overwhelming, but now it felt like a sickening awakening to the reality that had been shoved down my throat ever since I was young. I was useless. Not only was my wolf extremely weak and sometimes nonexistent, but I also had zero magic even though I was a witch.I felt overwhelmed, confused, and a whole lot of emotions.However, just as I turned the corner and was about to head toward my room, a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks. “I see you’re still here,”Looking up, I found Callahan leaning against the wall, hands folded as he glared subtly in my direction. “I thought you were smart to take my offer and run.”I sighed, not the least bit in the mood of dealing with Zane’s uncle. “And I told you, I don’t want it.”Saying this, I attempted to walk past him,

~Zane’s POV:As soon as Cana exited my room, I sighed loudly. On the inside, my wolf repeated a certain mantra, proudly boasting about how he had warned me to speak up from the beginning. I knew he was right. I should have told Cana everything from the beginning. She had the right to know about her mother’s lineage, their deaths and so much more. But I also knew, Cana, being the fragile wolf she is, couldn’t bare all those truths all at once. She’d crumble, that was certain. So, telling her step by step while reading her for the next truth was the best, I knew. I was torn out of my as I heard my phone ring. I reached for it and frowned at the sight of Estella’s name. Out of everyone I wanted to speak to, she was at the bottom of my list. I didn’t like Estella, not in the slightest bit. Our engagement, one that has seemed to cause constant misunderstanding between Cana and me, was created solely for my pack. A few years back, when I was yet to become the Alpha of the De Luca Pac

~Cana’s POV:I was sure I hadn’t been asleep for more than thirty minutes, but to open my eyes and find Zane leaning over me, was enough to startle me.I yelped loudly and nearly fell off my chair, had he not caught me.“Careful,” He smiled, gently pulling me upright and staring me in the eyes.I was still a bit startled but nodded and thanked him.“I’m sorry for startling you, didn’t mean to.” He apologized, chuckling. Both the sound of his chuckles- rather melodic and addicting, might I tell you- and the sight of him chuckling could send heat shooting straight up my cheeks.I turned away, hoping he didn’t catch on, and then, remembered the position we were in.He was close, a bit too close.“It’s fine,” I muttered and eased out of his hold, gently. He frowned ever so slightly, but I ignored it, hoping that by this time, he would have gotten used to the fact that I was never going to accept another mate. Just the thought of that alone scared me. What if he turned out like Axel, or

~Cana’s POV:Water, I hate water.Ever since an accident during my younger years, I had come to fear being in the water.Yet, here I was, in the lake, and sinking deeper into its depths.The cold was enough to send shivers down my spine, but not only that, the thought that I didn’t know how deep the lake was, had me panicking.I didn’t even try to swim to the top because I knew I would have failed miserably.Instead, I did the one thing I could do best and called for help.“ZANE!”As loud as I could, I screamed out his name, hoping, no, praying, he could hear me.My lungs felt heavy, and I was close to giving up when a shadow appeared, and then, I was pulled upwards.I broke the surface of the water and was greeted with Zane’s panicked and worried expression as he pulled me closer. “Cana, Jesus, how did you end up in there?” He asked, sounding and looking worried.My teeth chattered, but I ignored them, choosing to focus on breathing properly.“I don’t know, one minute I was standing

~Zane’s POV:The mention of his name had my wolf growling, angrily. That bastard sure had some nerves showing his face here after everything he had done to Cana. And what was this, he wanted to see her? In his dreams! “Send him away,” I demanded, sure as hell that much like me, Cana didn’t want to see that bastard. But the moment she raised her hand, stopping Leah, I knew she had other plans.“No, let him in.” She said.I turned to face her, frowning at her choice of action. “Cana,” She turned to face me with a subtle smile the moment I called her name. “I know what I’m doing.”I shook my head. I would have loved to believe that, but something told me that Cana didn’t know when to draw the line with her old pack. She was attached to them…to Axel, even after everything that had been done to her.I wished she could open her eyes and see the realization in front of her. Orleans pack no longer mattered to her. Although she was denying it, soon, she’d accept the fact that we’re ma

~Cana’s POV:I felt sick. For two main reasons. The first one was the fact that I was stupid enough to entertain thoughts of going back to that wretched pack. I was fine here! Unlike there, Zane treated me fantastically here. Heck! The danger here was nothing compared to the malice those damn pack members had harbored for me for years. And those damn betas, I was sure the moment they were given a chance, they won’t hesitate to violate me. Now talk about those noisy Omegas, even if it’s just the position of a concubine, they’d harbor hatred for me, an emotion they won’t hesitate to act on if given permission, one that would happily be given by Ivy. The second reason was that Axel’s pheromone had suddenly smelt lighter…sweeter, almost as if he was trying to persuade me…or, better yet, seduce me. “You sick bastard,” I cursed out, glaring at him as I took a step back, distancing myself from the scent of his pheromones. Although I no longer had any desire for him, it was a normal co

~Ivy's POV:Axel was pissed when he returned that night. I could feel, see, and even smell it. When he stormed into the pack house disrupting the phone call I had been on, he looked like a madman right about ready to tear anything down anything that came into his path. What made him so mad? I wondered as I watched him for a few seconds, pacing the living room back and forth. I opened my mouth to question the sudden change in his mood, after all, he looked more than happy when he had left this morning, but one of the maids present beat me to it. “Alpha, is everything alright?”Axel shot her a glare that had me feeling glad that she was the one who had spoken first. Although I greatly doubted that Axel would have glared that way at me. He loved me far too much to do so. The maid, getting the memo, quickly bowed her head and scurried off, leaving Axel to continue his angered frenzy. Putting the phone away, I decided it was time to intervene and stood up. Approaching him, I release

~Cana’s POV:“How are you, Davis?” I asked as I, along with Talia and Zane, walked into the medical wing, heading towards the bed where the younger boy lay. He had been playing with some Lego toys, but the moment he heard his name, his head snapped up and his entire demeanor brightened. “Lady Cana!” He called out, happily. I smiled, relieved that the illness had not dampened his bright personality. I could tell Talia was feeling the same way because of how heavily she sighed. “Hey little one, how are you?” I asked. “Better,” He said and turned to Zane, waving his small hands in the air. “Hello, Alpha!”“Hey Champ, how are you holding up?”“I’m okay, Alpha. The nurse gave me food, and I’m getting better.”“That’s good to hear,” Zane smiled. “Keep getting better, okay? So you don’t worry your sister too much.”Talia’s eyes softened, and she smiled, mouthing a ‘Thank You.’I smiled at the interaction, before walking closer to Davis and running a hand through his hair.“What were yo

The soft morning sun filtered through the curtains of their modest home in Ashbrook, painting the walls with warm hues of gold and pink. Cana stirred awake, the sound of tiny footsteps pattering down the hallway pulling her from her dreams. A soft giggle followed—a giggle she could recognize anywhere.Cana smiled and turned toward Zane, who was still fast asleep, his face relaxed and peaceful. She reached over to nudge him.“Your daughter is up,” she whispered.Zane groaned but smiled, keeping his eyes closed. “Our daughter,” he corrected, but he didn’t make any effort to move.Cana chuckled and threw the blanket off. “Fine, I’ll get her. But you’re on pancake duty.”That got him to open one eye. “Deal.”As Cana walked toward the living room, she found Peace sitting in the middle of the floor, surrounded by her stuffed animals. She had one of her birthday presents—a small toy piano—in front of her and was pressing random keys, creating a chaotic but delightful melody.“Good morning, m

EpilogueThe soft hum of laughter and the gentle clinking of glasses filled the air as a warm breeze swept through the backyard. The space was alive with celebration, a reflection of a life rebuilt from the ashes of chaos and pain. Cana adjusted the balloons on the arch for what felt like the tenth time, ensuring they were perfect. She stepped back to admire her handiwork and smiled as her gaze landed on Zane, who had their daughter, Peace, perched high on his shoulders.Peace squealed with uncontainable delight, her tiny hands gripping her father’s thick black hair as he prowled around like a pretend wolf.“Rarrrr! The big bad wolf is coming for you!” Zane growled playfully, eliciting another round of giggles from his daughter.“You’re spoiling her,” Cana teased from across the yard, her tone light and affectionate.Zane looked over, his mischievous grin softening. “She deserves to be spoiled, especially today.”Cana chuckled and shook her head. She loved seeing Zane like this, care

The house was eerily quiet as Cana stood in the middle of the living room, a half-packed box of belongings at her feet. The walls that once bore memories of battles, fleeting moments of laughter, and unshakable grief now felt foreign to her.Her fingers rested there as Zane entered the room, his arms full of folded clothes. He set them down on the couch and studied her face.“You sure about this?” he asked softly, breaking the silence.Cana nodded. “I’ve never been more sure of anything.”Zane sighed, leaning back against the couch. “I’ll miss this place, you know. Not everything that happened here, but the good parts. It was home for a while.”“Home isn’t a place, Zane,” Cana replied, her voice steadier now. “It’s us. Wherever we go, that’s home.”Zane smiled at her, but there was a trace of sadness in his expression. He knew leaving the pack was necessary, but it didn’t make saying goodbye any easier.Lionel appeared in the doorway, his ever-present smirk subdued for once. He held a

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the forest that stretched beyond the small town Cana and Zane had called home. The evening breeze rustled through the trees, carrying with it the faint scent of pine and damp earth. Cana sat on the back porch of their cabin, a blanket draped over her shoulders, her hands cradling a steaming mug of tea. Zane leaned against the railing, his arms crossed over his chest, his sharp eyes fixed on the setting sun.Now that Axel is behind bars for the first time in what felt like years, there was silence. No battles, no cries for help, no looming threats. And yet, the quiet carried its weight.“You’ve been quiet,” Cana said, breaking the silence. Her voice was soft but carried a trace of concern.Zane turned to her, his expression unreadable. “Just thinking.”“About?”He hesitated for a moment, then pushed off the railing and sat down beside her. “About us. About what comes next.”Cana frowned, setting her mug down on the smal

Cana stirred awake, her body aching and her mind clouded with fragmented memories. The last thing she recalled was the overwhelming rush of power coursing through her veins, her hands shifting into claws, and her body morphing into something primal. She felt the pull of the wolf—a force so ancient and raw that it left her trembling. The familiar scent of cedar and leather told her she was in Zane’s cabin.Her eyes fluttered open to see Zane sitting beside her bed, his elbows resting on his knees, his face etched with worry. His knuckles were bruised, his clothes torn, but his relief was palpable as their gazes met.“You’re awake,” he said softly, his voice heavy with emotion.“What happened?” Cana croaked, her throat dry. She winced as she tried to sit up, every muscle in her body screaming in protest.Zane reached for a glass of water on the bedside table and handed it to her. “You shifted, Cana. Fully. Into a wolf.”The words hung in the air, and Cana’s heart raced. She clutched the

Seven Months AgoThe cell was dimly lit, the air heavy with the scent of rust and despair. Ashley sat slumped against the cold metal wall, her wrists shackled and her expression weary but defiant. She heard footsteps echoing through the corridor and turned her gaze toward the source. Lionel stepped into view, a sly smile curling his lips.“What do you want now?” Ashley snapped, her voice dripping with disdain.Lionel leaned against the bars of her cell, his posture relaxed but his eyes calculating. “You’re the one who replicated wolfsbane,” he began. “What was your intention?”Ashley snorted. “I had no intention. I was just following Jeremy’s orders.”Lionel tilted his head, his smirk unfaltering. “And now that he’s gone? What’s the plan?”Ashley’s lips twitched in a mock smile. “I’ll think about that part when I’m free of these chains.”Lionel chuckled, a low, almost sinister sound. “You know, we don’t necessarily have to be enemies here.”Ashley narrowed her eyes. “What’s that suppo

Axel stormed into his house, his mind swirling with anger and disbelief. The Elders had banished him, taking everything from him without a second thought. He gritted his teeth, trying to keep his temper in check, but it was impossible. Everything he had worked for, every plan he had carefully laid out, seemed to be crumbling beneath his feet.“Just wait,” he muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing. “I’ll make them all pay. But first, Zane... you will finally pay for always standing in my way.”The next morning, Axel woke to a loud knock on his door. His head was pounding, and his frustration hadn’t waned in the least. He trudged to the door, swinging it open to reveal three figures standing in his doorway: Lionel, Larz, and Akam.They exchanged brief greetings before stepping inside. Axel didn’t bother with pleasantries; his mind was focused solely on one thing.“So, tell us, Axel,” Lionel asked, his voice calm but curious. “Why the rush to kill Zane?”Axel clenched his fists,
Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0129
The air in the dimly lit room was thick with tension. Five Elders, each radiating authority, sat in a semicircle as Axel stood before them. His expression was calm, almost smug, as he prepared to deliver what he believed was a triumphant announcement."My Elders," Axel began, his voice steady but laced with an undertone of pride. "I bring good news. I will soon have an heir."The room remained silent for a moment, the Elders exchanging glances. Finally, one spoke. "Why tell us this?"Axel straightened, confidence surging through him. "Because I want to lead my pack again. An heir solidifies my claim to the title of Alpha."A scoff broke the silence. Another Elder, his eyes sharp and unforgiving, leaned forward. "Even after killing your kind? One of your pack?"Axel's confidence faltered, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. How did they know? He wondered, his mind racing."How did you find out?" Axel asked, unable to hide the shock in his voice."That doesn't concern you," the Elder snapp

Cana hadn’t expected Axel to find her so quickly. She had chosen this small, nondescript motel for exactly that reason—to be far enough from the chaos of her past life to be safe, to think, and to plan. But the moment she heard the knock on her door, her stomach sank. She didn’t have to look through the peephole to know who it was.The deep, almost predatory knock sounded again, and with it came the familiar sense of dread that always seemed to follow Axel. She’d seen his manipulations, his lies, his promises. She knew what he was capable of—what he was still capable of, and she couldn’t afford to be caught off guard.Cana opened the door, and there he was, standing in the hallway with a smug smile that made her stomach twist with disgust. Axel, the man who had once been everything to her, was now a reminder of all the worst decisions she had made. His eyes gleamed with that same cold, calculating look that always came right before he dropped the hammer. The same look that had broken
