>Zoe and Xavier listened to the detailed account of events that Maisie had gone through with full attention. Zoe worried about her friend and pitied everything Maisie had to go through. Zoe blamed herself for pulling Maisie into her problems. After all, Maisie had to give up such a grave secret in front of so many people because Zoe's father's life was on the line. Xavier, on the other, was worried about his friend just as much as he was worried about Maisie. At least, Maisie had made it. Xavier had often checked with Jacob (his secretary) about Luca and nobody had heard anything since Maisie and Luca had escaped from the Werewolf Council Headquarters after Mr. Simmons' case."Maze. How did you get away from them?" Zoe asked softly. Maisie sighed and didn't meet the eyes of her friend. It was hard enough thinking about that. But talking about it all made it more real and unbearable."I'm not exactly sure what happened next. I swear, I just closed my eyes for a second. I

>"I thought you were taking me out of this jungle. Did you just bring me to your home? Or the center of the jungle?" Maisie asked confused but stepped closer nonetheless.The roots of the huge tree were spread on the forest floor. The moment Maisie accidentally stepped on a protruding root and slipped, falling face-first to the forest floor. She tried to hold something in vain. There was nothing to stop her from falling as she saw the ground get closer. Again, she closed her eyes but tried not to scream. Screaming had brought her problems so far.She fell, but instead of hard and moist ground, she felt a soft, dry, furry rug on her face. It still hurt but not as much as falling into the insect-infested forest floor might have.Confuzzled, Maisie opened her eyes and quickly got up only to stop stunned.She was now in a different location. The open jungle had vanished and she now stood in a cozy cottage that looked very normal at first glance.Then, she noticed the brown bir

>"Oh, my Goddess! MJ!" Zoe rushed to her friend as the tale became progressively traumatic and hugged her.Xavier let Zoe comfort her friend. He knew Zoe could comfort Maisie better than him. Maisie had been through some serious shit and the tale seemed far from over.Zoe realized that it all must've been awful for Maisie but as she had hugged her friend, Maisie seemed too calm and collected. Zoe hoped it was just a trauma response that would go away with time and not something that her circumstances had permanently turned her kind friend into."Maybe that's enough for now. Let's get out of here. Talk somewhere more," Xavier suggested and glanced around the small space before uneasily adding, "Cleaner."His words got the girls out of their embrace.Maisie looked at Xavier, "AlphaXS34, huh?" She gave a tiny smile."Cornhead24, huh?" Xavier returned."What's going on?" Zoe asked confused about the interaction."I told you I met someone who claimed to be of help on the dark we

>Not thinking of anything to change the subject, Xavier blurted out, "We need to find a way to get into a human-only club. Can you do that?" Maisie and Zoe turned to look at him like, 'Seriously? Is now the right time?'He raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry."'Yeah, like an apology is going to fix it.' Spike sneered in Xavier's head."What do you want now?" Xavier said to him annoyed.'Don't come at me now. The girl is right. Anyone would feel abandoned. Zoe left her in our responsibility and look what happened.' Spike tried to knock some sense into Xavier.Maisie had turned her back to them once again and started to sort random objects on a shelf as if to distract herself from their presence."Maisie, we are truly sorry for what happened to you." Zoe started and urged Xavier to continue, "And we want to try and make amends, as hard as it might be.""It starts with you coming back to us. I missed you." Zoe added."What part of I can't leave can you two not understand?"

>Xavier returned after two hours, to find the girls in a strange way."Okay, someone catch me up. That's not how I left you, girls." Xavier sauntered in, his relaxed gait turned into confusion, "What's going on here?"Zoe and Maisie were sitting on the floor after having cleared some space, as impossible as that seemed. Zoe, for some strange reason, had changed into rags similar to Maisie's and was holding hands over a large bronze bowl that had some weird stuff in it.Maisie was holding a ceremonial blade with a rune carved in its handle and was about to chant something when they were disturbed by Xavier."Where have you been for the past two hours?" Maisie asked in return."I asked first." Xavier challenged, still eyeing the whole setup suspiciously."We are doing the ritual that you came for." Maisie said in a matter-of-fact tone. "I don't remember coming here for any ritual." Xavier retorted."Well, you want to get into a human-only club and this is the way to it. So,

>"I hope you don't intend to go in that." Xavier walked out of the bathroom, dressed in an expensive clubbing attire and ready to leave while Zoe was still in her sweats, working on her makeup."What's it to you?" She replied awkwardly while stretching her mouth to put mascara on her curled lashes."Why are you making that face?" He asked as he stepped closer with a childish curiosity mixed with humor."Again, what's it to you?" She replied with a roll of her eyes and then cussed under her breath when the wet mascara smeared on her upper eyelid because of her rolling eyes.Xavier laughed and Zoe glared at him. They were like an old married couple but hadn't realized it yet."Why are you here? Are you ready?" Zoe asked annoyed."What's that supposed to mean?" Xavier twirled and flipped his coat with a smirk, offended that she didn't think he was ready."What's gotten into you?" Zoe asked confused at his carefree behavior."What do you mean? I'm going clubbing with my mate f

>Xavier and Zoe got out of the car, handed the keys to the valet, and walked over to the entrance like they owned the place.There was no queue. Either you were a member and walked right in, or you weren't a member and had to buy an extremely expensive ticket online on the possibility that you might be let in. Xavier had gotten two VIP tickets under fake names and was directed to enter through a non-member lobby.They stopped at a receptionist who asked them to wait so they could confirm their identities."What if they find out?" Zoe dared to open the mind-link between their mind spaces for the first time. She was not ready to give herself up until she found anything that she came for.Xavier was pleasantly surprised to hear Zoe in his head. He glanced at her and she yelled in his head, "Look ahead!"He resisted flinching and replied, "They can't hear us but that doesn't mean you get to yell at me in my head.""Sorry," Zoe whispered."Okay, you don't need to whisper eith

>Zoe turned the door handle, her stomach was in knots due to the anticipation.She pushed it open to reveal a set of stairs going down. She stepped forward followed closely by Xavier. Slowly they descended until they stood face to face an elevator.She pressed the button to call the elevator. The few moments of the wait were the longest that they had waited in their lives. The elevator arrived and dinged open.They stepped in and Xavier noticed a camera in the corner with a beeping red light. They were being watched. Zoe noticed the elevator had options for four floors, one, two, three, and the last button with the same seal as on the door that got them there. Instantly, Zoe pressed that button.To their surprise, a voice sounded from the elevator confirming Xavier's conclusion that they were being watched."What will happen if a pair of Moonstones is found?" A female voice asked. Zoe nearly jumped and looked around, "Who is it?"Xavier nudged her, motioned for the camera,

Lycan Queen Catching Up
>Zoe was surprised to find Jacob standing in the middle of the cabin."I gave you a heart attack? You almost cost me my life." Jacob replied amused."How?" Zoe asked confused, "I'm not the one trespassing on a seemingly secret hideout.""Yeah, you just like to take casual walks in the woods while running from some of the most powerful and connected people in America." Jacob raised a brow, "Do you have any idea what would Alpha do to me if I told him that I lost you on the first day?""Don't overreact," Zoe laughed as she walked over to the sink and splashed some water on her face to freshen up."I'm not overreacting.""Uhuh,""Wow,""Wow, what?""Nothing,""Jacob?""It's just that. I'm surprised that you have no idea how important you are for Alpha."That answer stunned Zoe. She was expecting anything but for Jacob to say that. Despite being with Xavier on the road for a while now, she hadn't stopped to think how much she meant to him. He kept confessing his love and she a
Lycan Queen Back to the Woods
>I had only been to the cabin with Xavier once. So, without the GPS that Jacob had set up, I'd be entirely lost.I tried to stay calm as the evening turned to the night. The cabin was a couple of hours away from the tunnel opening. I didn't know who built the cabin or of they knew about the tunnels. But, they had chosen the safest location in all of the pack, for a secluded, secret place. No wonder Xavier loved to go there to relax.I parked the car in the cabin garage that was also a storage room. Using the keys from the glove box of the car, I got inside the cabin and was instantly hit by the memories of amazing, passionate time that Xavier and I had spent there. At that time, the worst problem in my life was saving my Dad and not falling for the Alpha the thought of whole sent delcious shivers down my spine.The place was just as I remembered it. The paintings, the empty canvases, the easel and random splashes of color here and there, and the hammock where I had spent
Lycan Queen Cat Out of the Bag
>Lady Shaw knew her son, just as well as Xavier knew his father. Elder Shaw stood with his hands in his pockets like this was midday and not a strange middle-of-the-night, random visit that he had never done in his life before. He knew how he looked, he didn't care."Mother, step aside, let's have some late-night tea," He spoke with authority that he did not have over his mother who, according to him, was still the acting Alpha of the pack."It is late, son," Lady Shaw frowned, "Either say what you came to say or leave.""You do not look like you just got out of the bed to open the door, Mother," He smirked."Neither do you," Lady Shaw retorted."Well, I never said that I was in bed." "Neither did I,""In that case, you wouldn't mind a cup of tea with your only son, would you?""As a matter of fact, I would." Lady Shaw was losing patience, "I don't drink tea. Never have. And neither do you. So, skip the antics.""Fine, you got me," He sighed, not even pretending like he
Lycan Queen Uninvited Visitor
>"Lady Shaw, the visitor is very persistent," Mrs. Hass spoke softly."Well, why didn't you ask the visitor's identity? Who do they think they are? To show up at the door of an old woman and demand an audience?" While Lady Shaw felt inconvenienced, she quickly got up. Because she knew that if somebody had the audacity to come to her door without an appointment and demand a meeting asap, it must mean that person either had everything at stake or nothing to lose. Either way, being the acting Alpha in the absence of her grandson meant that she had more responsibility for the people of her pack than she ever did before and she had been trying her best to keep things as smooth as she could."Call them in," Lady Shaw said to Mrs. Hass."I'm afraid they are already in, Ma'am." Mrs. Hass gave her best apologetic expression."Oh, Goddess. Now, that is going a step too far," Lady Shaw walked out of her bedroom where she had retired to rest for the night.Her feet stilled before her
Lycan Queen Return of the Alpha
>Xavier and Zoe rode the public transport to get as close as they could without getting spotted. They had memorized the route they were going to take to get to his cabin in the woods. It was of the places that did not have any underground tunnels leading to it.They had used the map of Blood Crescent's underground tunnels to get as far in the pack and as close to the cabin as they could. These were the same tunnels Luca's handler had used to smuggle him in the pack for his first mission.As soon as they resurfaced in the pack territory, Jacob was there with a car. Xavier had sent him an encrypted message through a secure line that they had been using to communicate over the past few months that Xavier was away.Xavier had updated Jacob about his brother and his long-awaited return to the pack while Jacob had kept him updated about Claire and the rest of the major happenings in the pack. Apparently, his father had kept his head down while Xavier was away but they knew that
Lycan Queen Last Night on the Road
>Zoe and Xavier spent the rest of the rest of the day discussing the contents of the flash drive with Luca. There was a lot of information there, but at the same time, a lot of critical information was still missing. For example, there were no proper coordinates of the bases, no real names were used, and there was no information about how long everything had been going on or who was funding it all.The only thing they concluded from the information was that the ones running these projects were sadistic bastards and worse were the people funding these who clearly had some dark ulterior motives. Zoe thought the worst was what each project's samples had to go through during the experiments. No one deserved to be put through such trauma-inducing horrors. But, for Xavier, the worst was not knowing who to trust anymore. He had no idea who was directly involved in these horrendous projects like his father and Claire. Luca briefed them about everything he had come to know so fa
Lycan Queen Planning and Researching
>After telling them his story and revealing that he had been spying on the Military facility to the North, Luca brought out his laptop and the flash drive he was given."This thing has played a major role in me remembering myself as much as I have. I still have huge empty patches but at least I know who I am." Luca said and clicked on a folder that was locked. He added the password making Xavier ask, "How did you know that?" "Neil added a file in here among my files that had all the passwords and decryption codes required." Luca answered and turned the laptop to Xavier, "All yours, Alpha."Zoe leaned in as Xavier started scrolling through the many folders with names like Project Winter, Project Obsidian, and Project Twilight. His eyes caught a familiar name and he stilled."Do you know this one?" Zoe asked as Xavier clicked on the folder named, Project Blackwater.Xavier took a deep breath before answering, "Claire worked on this project during the five years that she was
Lycan Queen Lucked Out
>I was training through simulation one day when suddenly the feed got cut off.I took off the VR goggles and looked around. Everything was dark. The facility was well-protected and well-equipped. We couldn't just have a random blackout. Something was wrong.I walked into the lobby. My trainer was nowhere to be found. He never left me alone. I wandered the hallways confused having no idea what was happening. I tried a few doors through the hallway, but they were locked or had no one in them.The power returned in around fifteen minutes but no one returned. Getting bored and being a good soldier, I returned to my training. Only when I turned on the VR to resume my simulation, all I saw were pictures of Jacob, Mom, Xavier, and all my friends and fellows from Blood Crescent. I still have no idea who hijacked that place and how, but I am grateful to them. Because without them, there was no way I could've broken out of there. They didn't just override my VR to show me my real
Lycan Queen Mission Report 201
>"I'll get some firewood," Luca told and left Xavier and Zoe to read the report.Xavier didn't turn the title page even after Luca had gone so, Zoe placed a hand on his arm, "You don't have to if you don't want to. What matters is that Luca is here and alive. We found him and he remembers you."Xavier sighed, "I know. But I have to. If my own father can stoop so low as to put the safety of his people in jeopardy for personal gains, there is no telling how far he is willing to go for them," He glanced at Zoe and Zoe could see the pain in his eyes from his father's betrayal. No matter how awful a parent is, the child always keeps hope for the better. Xavier had realized in that moment, that there was no hope for his father. He was just as awful as the people Xavier had spent his time fighting to protect his people from. He just never realized that the real threat was living in the Shaw mansion.He looked back at the file and flipped the page to begin reading from the top,~
