Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0078
The moon hung high in the sky, its pale light filtering through the trees and casting long shadows over the forest floor. A group of five men sat around a campfire, the warmth of the flames pushing back the evening chill. Laughter filled the air as they joked, drank, and tore into chunks of fried meat. The night was quiet and peaceful, with only the crackling of the fire and the occasional rustle of leaves.One of the men, a tall werewolf with sharp senses, suddenly tensed. His laughter died on his lips as he glanced into the dark woods surrounding them. “Someone’s here,” he muttered, his eyes narrowing as he tried to focus on the sounds of approaching footsteps.The others immediately became alert, standing up from their spots around the fire. They exchanged glances, the easy camaraderie of moments before replaced by the instinctive wariness of seasoned warriors. The leader of the group, a gruff man with gray streaks in his hair, took a step forward, his hand hovering over the weapon

Dawn broke, casting pale light over the quiet house. Zane had been up for a while, already feeling the weight of the day pressing down on him. He wandered into the kitchen, opening the fridge door, searching for something to eat. Grabbing a fruit, he took a moment to breathe. The events of the previous night still lingered heavily on his mind—Axel’s sudden appearance, Cana’s recovery, and the looming questions about Ivy’s true intentions.A knock on the front door interrupted his thoughts. Zane frowned; it was too early for visitors, and he wasn’t expecting anyone. He put down the fruit and slowly walked to the door, his senses on high alert. As he opened it, his surprise deepened when he saw Raquel standing on the doorstep.“Raquel?” he greeted, exchanging pleasantries. “What are you doing here so early?”Raquel, always a beacon of strength, walked inside without hesitation. “We need to talk.”Zane blinked, slightly caught off guard. “Cana isn’t really in a good shape to train right

The air in the forest was still, a dense mist hanging low between the trees as the first rays of sunlight barely broke through the thick canopy. Zane’s eyes were sharp, scanning the area as he stood over the lifeless bodies that lay before him. His heart pounded in his chest, but he forced his breathing to remain steady. The five corpses strewn across the ground weren't from his pack, but they were still werewolves, and their deaths were disturbing.The smell of blood mixed with something far more sinister lingered in the air — wolfsbane.Zane’s fists clenched at his sides as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing. These wolves had been killed ruthlessly, but not by any common means. The black veins crawling across their pale skin were a clear sign that they had been poisoned. The wolfsbane had infected them from within, killing them slowly, painfully.“This is bad,” Lionel whispered beside him, his voice laced with fear. “Whoever did this... they know what they’re doing. And th

The air was cool and still as a figure cloaked in shadows moved swiftly through the forest. The moonlight barely caught glimpses of the mysterious man as he approached the estate in the distance. Axel’s estate loomed ahead, grand and imposing. The man reached the gates, slipping past the guards with practiced ease, and made his way to a side entrance. No one noticed his approach.He entered silently, navigating the hallways with the confidence of someone who had been there before. The destination was clear: Axel needed to know what had transpired, and he, the informant, was the perfect messenger.Axel was sitting in his office, deep in thought, nursing a glass of bourbon when the door creaked open. Without turning around, he already knew who it was."You’re late," Axel said, his voice calm but commanding. The unknown informant closed the door behind him and stepped into the room."I had to make sure I wasn’t followed," the man replied, his voice low. "But I’ve got news. News you’ll wa

The morning air was thick with tension as Zane stood facing Axel, the two men locked in a silent standoff just outside the front door. Zane’s eyes flickered with distrust, his jaw clenched as Axel maintained an easy smile, the kind that masked the sharp edges of something more dangerous lurking underneath.Cana stood beside Zane, her eyes shifting between the two men, immediately sensing the undercurrent of rivalry between them. She wasn’t sure what had transpired before she stepped outside, but the energy felt charged as if one wrong word could ignite a spark.“What’s going on?” Cana asked, her voice cutting through the silence.Zane turned to her, his expression softening instantly. “Just the person I was looking for,” he said, offering a reassuring smile. The edge in his voice that had been present with Axel seemed to fade, replaced with something warmer as he looked at her. He reached out, gently taking her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers in a possessive, yet tender gestu

It had been almost a week since Jeremy and Ashley had perfected their deadly creation: weapons laced with wolfbane. Jeremy had been pushing for a solution that would allow him to use the poison effectively, without risking himself or his pack. Ashley, the mastermind behind the formula, had gone further than anyone could have imagined. She didn’t just lace bullets with wolfbane; she infused it into every weaponThey had at their disposal—guns, blades, grenades. What were once harmless human-made weapons to werewolves had now become lethal tools capable of killing them like poison taking down a predator.In the dimly lit room, Jeremy leaned against a wooden table, examining the arsenal laid out before him. Knives gleamed, bullets shimmered with a faint green hue, and grenades sat in neat rows. The air was thick with aSense of impending violence, the silence occasionally broken by the clinking of metal as Ashley finalized her preparations.Ashley approached him with a cold smile, a pist

Cana sat in the living room, surrounded by Zane, Raquel, Lionel, and Mia. There was a tense silence in the air, the weight of recent events pressing down on them. Everyone in the pack had been on edge since the attack and the revelation of the wolfbane, and Zane, their Alpha, knew that something had to be done.Zane crossed his arms, his expression grim as he leaned back against the couch. "We can't be telling the pack everything right now. I suspect that someone within our pack is feeding Axel information."Lionel immediately shook his head, his expression one of disbelief. "That's not possible, Zane. Everyone in this pack is loyal. None of them would betray us like that."Zane's jaw tightened as he considered Lionel’s response. "I don’t want to believe it either, but I don’t have evidence yet. All I know is that Axel has been too informed about our movements, and we need to be cautious about what we say and who we trust moving forward."Raquel leaned forward, her gaze serious as she

The tension in the room was palpable, stretching thin like a taut wire ready to snap at any moment. After Axel’s departure, the pack remained in a state of uneasy silence. Though Zane had made the call to bring Axel into their plans, none of the others seemed convinced it was the right move.Cana stood near the window, watching the clouds roll over the horizon. The sky mirrored her conflicted emotions, heavy and brooding. Despite her trust in Zane, something about Axel’s involvement left a sour taste in her mouth. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Axel had ulterior motives, especially given his lingering glances and unsettling admiration for her powers. His words echoed in her mind, “You are truly special.” They unsettled her, making her skin crawl with unease.She turned back to the group, where Zane was locked in a quiet discussion with Raquel about the spellwork. Lionel sat to the side, his brow furrowed in deep thought, while Mia paced back and forth, her nerves getting the bett

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,

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
Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0128
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
