Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0034
~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
Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0036
~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
Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0037
~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
Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0038
~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

~Cana’s POV:Cassandra stormed into the kitchen and without an ounce of hesitation, she gripped my upper arm, nails purposefully digging into my skin as she yanked me away from the biscuit. I hissed in pain and glared at her. “Are you crazy?” My question stunned her, I could tell. Perhaps, she had expected the Cana who had tucked tails between her legs and ran, the one she was used to seeing, but no, today, she wasn’t dealing with that Cana.“You,” She began as soon as the surprise wore off. Her words were followed by a disbelieving scoff and then a smirk. “You rude bitch, how dare you talk to me that way?” She yanked on my hand once again, as if to prove a point in her next words. “Who do you think you are in this pack? A rouge thing like you dare open her mouth and disrespect me?”“And who are you that I shouldn’t disrespect?” Saying this, I yanked my hand free. “I’d behave if I were you, Cassandra, this isn’t Ivy’s playground. Look around and stop acting like a spoilt brat who ca

~Cana’s POV:“Indigestion?” I asked Doctor Maria based on what she had just told me. The Doctor nodded her head, but her attention remained on the bruise on my ankle. “Zane has always been a powerful Alpha since birth, unfortunately, his body couldn’t handle the amount of pheromone, hence the indigestion.” She examined the bruise once more and frowned, but I was too worried by what I had just heard to pay attention to whether her frowning was a bad or good thing. Zane had pheromone indigestion? For many people, it was a sign of showing the Alpha was strong, but I saw this as a means of silent suffering. Not only would the alpha constantly fall sick because his body can’t control the amount of pheromones it produces, but they also have a hard time shifting into their wolf form, because of the overflow.Pheromones were essential for an Alpha to shift, and the more a person produced, the easier shifting became.The only solution was for Zane to constantly take suppressants, and a lo

Cana’s eyes fluttered open slowly, the faint sound of voices stirring her from the darkness. Her vision was blurry, but she recognized Zane and Mia hovering over her.“Her heartbeat is slowing down,” Zane’s tense voice broke the silence.“Should we call a doctor?” Mia’s voice trembled with worry.“That won’t be necessary,” Zane replied, though his tone betrayed his unease.As her vision cleared, Cana saw their anxious faces. She tried to sit up, and Zane immediately supported her, his touch warm and steady.“How are you feeling?” he asked, his deep voice soft but filled with concern.“I’m fine,” Cana said hoarsely, her throat dry.“Are you sure? Did something happen?” Zane pressed, his brows furrowed in worry.Cana managed a faint smile. “I’m fine. It’s probably just all the stress from this week. Sorry for worrying you guys.”Mia stepped forward, handing Cana a glass of water. “Here, drink this.”Cana took it gratefully, sipping the cool liquid.“All right,” Zane said, his voice stil

Axel’s sharp hearing picked up the faint rustle of leaves before he turned his gaze toward the intruder. His keen eyes focused on the man holding a weapon that gleamed under the dim light of the moon filtering through the estate’s tall windows.The man smirked, raising the gun toward Axel, his finger brushing the trigger. “They warned me about you, Alpha,” the attacker sneered. “But I’ve got something special. One shot and even your kind won’t survive; Marshall sends his regards.”Axel tilted his head, thinking fast. He realized that Marshall probably sent this person, and if he was human, he had Wolfbane with him, probably in the gun.‘Finally some fun.’ Axel thought to himself a feral smile curling at his lips. His eyes darkened, glowing faintly as his wolf stirred. “You think you can stop me with that weapon.”Bang!The first shot rang out, and Axel sprang into action. His sharp reflexes had him dodging to the side, the bullet embedding itself into the mahogany wall behind him. M

The next dayThe evening was quieter than usual, but Cana’s mind roared louder than ever. Mia's words replayed in her head like a relentless drumbeat."You need to tell him, Cana. The longer you keep this from Zane, the worse it'll be."Cana paced around in the master bedroom while Zane was still in the office, clutching the edges of her sweater. The guilt was unbearable, a heavy weight crushing her chest. She had lied to the one person who had stood by her through everything. Yet, the idea of seeing Zane’s face crumble as she revealed her betrayal felt even worse.She collapsed onto the bed, her fingers trembling as she toyed with the edges of her phone. Could she do this? Could she tell Zane the truth and risk losing him forever?Mia knocked and entered the room, her expression one of concern and determination. “You’ve been sitting here all night. If you’re not going to tell him now, then we need to start thinking about how to fix this.”“Fix this?” Cana’s voice was hollow. “How do

Chains of DeceptionMia’s footsteps echoed softly through the corridor as she approached Cana’s room. Her heart was heavy with the knowledge she had uncovered. The whispers of Cana’s connection to Axel had spread like wildfire among Axel’s loyalists, and Mia could no longer ignore the sinking feeling of betrayal. She pushed the door open without knocking, startling Cana, who sat on the bed, her face pale and weary.÷÷__÷÷She slowly walked up to her and slapped her, “You know who Axel is and what he has done to you; you should have told me, Cana. I trusted you.”“I know,” Cana whispered. “And I’m sorry.”Cana’s heart dropped. The air seemed to thicken, making it hard to breathe. “Mia... can you allow me to explain .”“Explain?” Mia’s voice cracked, a mixture of anger and hurt. “Explain how you betrayed all of us. How did you let that monster manipulate you?”“I didn’t betray you,” Cana whispered, her voice barely audible. “I didn’t have a choice.”Mia’s eyes softened, but her anger d

Shadows of PowerThe morning sun filtered through the thick curtains of Zane's house, but Cana barely noticed. Axel hadn’t contacted her telepathically for a while, so she decided to get him off her mind by trying to tap into the dark powers within her; sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor of her room, she focused on the strange energy that had been stirring within her for weeks. The dark power hummed beneath her skin, urging her to let it out. She closed her eyes, her breathing steady as she tried to channel it.At first, nothing happened. But then, a spark of energy surged through her fingertips, and the air around her seemed to shimmer. A vase on the nearby table rattled and then shattered into pieces. Cana flinched, opening her eyes.“What the hell was that?” she muttered to herself.The door to her room burst open, and Mia appeared, her eyes wide with alarm. “Cana! What’s going on in here?”Before Cana could answer, Mart peeked in from behind Mia, his usually calm demeanor re

Zane sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the reports in front of him, but his mind was elsewhere. The conversation with Cana replayed over and over in his head. She had apologized, but the lack of clarity still gnawed at him. Her words felt more like a pacifier than the truth.“Are you going to stare at that paper until it bursts into flames?” Mart’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts. Mart leaned against the doorframe, a knowing smirk on his face.Zane sighed, leaning back in his chair. “I can’t shake this feeling. She’s hiding something, and it’s not just about that night. There’s more.”Mart entered the office, closing the door behind him. “Look, Cana’s been through a lot. Maybe she’s trying to protect you or herself. Have you thought about that?”Zane shook his head. “That’s the problem. I don’t want protection. I want honesty. If she’s keeping secrets, it could put all of us at risk.”Mart frowned. “You think it’s connected to Axel?”Zane nodded. “ I don’t think so.”Meanwhile,

“Do you think he knows?”Zane sat in his office, his hands clasped together tightly on the desk as he listened to Mart’s incessant pacing. The tension in the room was palpable, the soft shuffle of Mart’s shoes across the floor punctuated only by his muttered thoughts. Cana and Mia sat nearby, exchanging glances, their expressions a mixture of concern and curiosity.Mart finally stopped, turning toward Zane with wide, panicked eyes. “Do you think he knows?”Zane leaned back in his chair, his gaze calm but calculating. “Knows what?”“This morning,” Mart began, his voice trembling, “the cops called me. Apart from Axel, there were 4 other buyers for your shares; today, They were asking questions about the four clients who…died. How the hell did all four of them just end up dead.” He paused, swallowing hard. “I am sure he’s behind it; do you think Axel figured it out? That I’m a fake? That I had something to do with it?”Zane’s expression darkened slightly, though he remained composed. “It

Cana crept through the front door, the soft creak of the hinges reverberating through the quiet house. She glanced at the clock: 12:03 AM. Everyone should be asleep by now, she thought, her footsteps light as she made her way to the stairs.“Where are you coming from?”The voice, sharp and unmistakable, stopped her in her tracks. She turned, her heart sinking when she saw Zane standing in the living room, his arms crossed, his eyes cold and piercing.“I went to see a friend,” she replied, her voice barely steady.“Don’t lie to me,” Zane said, stepping toward her. His tone was controlled, but there was an edge of fury in it that Cana had never heard before.Her pulse quickened. She could feel her heart hammering in her chest, and Zane could hear it too.“You never told me you were leaving,” he continued, his eyes narrowing. “And your heart is racing. Where. Were. You?”Cana had never seen this side of him before. Zane was always calm, gentle, and understanding. But this version of him—
Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0113
The air was thick with tension as Cana reluctantly made her way to Axel’s private suite as usual. But tonight was different; she didn’t leave Zane's house by 3 am his time each step she took felt heavier than the last, and the weight of Axel’s control pressed down on her. The blackmail hung over her like a dark cloud, and though she despised being summoned, she had no choice but to comply.Axel had requested her presence to “celebrate,” but Cana knew better than to trust his motivations. She clutched the straps of her bag tightly, her mind racing with strategies to deflect his probing questions and maintain her composure.When she arrived, the door was slightly ajar. She knocked gently before stepping in.“Ah, Cana,” Axel’s voice was warm and inviting, but she could see the calculating glint in his eyes. He gestured toward a table laden with expensive wine and delicacies. “Join me. Tonight, we celebrate new beginnings.”Cana forced a small smile and moved cautiously to take a seat acr
