Lycan Queen Heart to Heart
>Xavier saw Zoe break before she began crumbling and he quickly enveloped her in his arms.Zoe let herself fall apart in his arms. She had craved his touch since the moment she lost her father. She might've been upset at him but she could never deny how much he affected her or how much she craved him.But in that moment, she set aside all blame and accusations and allowed herself to cry on his firm chest. He held her close and let her release all the frustrations weighing her down for a while now.She curled her fingers in his shirt and pulled him as close as she could without ripping the shirt. She had no idea how much she needed that hug until she was in his arms again. His scent enveloped her like a cocoon of safety and calm that had been missing from her life even before her father's death."I'm so tired." She muttered between sobs of exhaustion. Lately, she had felt like nothing was going right and now her mother had given her a quest from beyond the grave."I'm right

>Xavier and Zoe spent the whole day driving and only stopped for dinner when it was too late and risky to stay on the road. Both of them might be supernatural but they could get tired nonetheless.Xavier pulled in front of a small diner and woke Zoe up who had been sleeping on and off during the whole ride. They freshened up and had a quiet dinner.After dinner, the two went for a walk to stretch their legs. After having slept most of the day, Zoe felt wide awake, and her thoughts were at war in her head. Xavier knew running in the woods always helped her when she needed to clear her thoughts. Walking around the tiny town in the middle of nowhere wasn't the same as the woods near her house, but it was better than curling up in a bed alone and staying awake till dawn.They walked side-by-side in silence for a while until they reached a closed amusement park."I remember when I used to go to the amusement parks at Silver Moon with my Dad and Aunt Julie." Zoe sighed as they st

>"I remember star gazing with my mother," Xavier spoke softly, careful not to break the delicate moment they had stolen from the mess of their life."You remember your mother? Lucky you." Zoe replied, matching his tone."She was kind. Kinder than most people I've met in my life. She was like that cool breeze on a hot summer day that makes you feel like everything would be okay." Xavier reminisced about his mother.He hadn't talked about her in a long time but being there, so high above the rest of the sleeping world, he felt like he could tell Zoe anything and be understood. He had a lot to say that he had been keeping inside of him for too long."You miss her," it was not a question but an obvious statement like, "You've never talked about her before.""Since her death, Father became a much harsher man. Once the only source of empathy and kindness was gone from my life, he made sure I never talked about her. Even to myself." Xavier confessed, not taking his eyes off the s

>The next morning Zoe felt rejuvenated. Her problems were still there but there was a change that was unexpected yet welcome.Xavier woke up with a smile on his face for the first time in a long while. Most of his problems were still there, but there was one issue that had been weighing on his heart the most and that was resolved last night. He understood that they still had a long way to go and things might take a while before going the way he wanted them to, but he was glad for the great start.They had a light breakfast, and Zoe took the steering wheel, deciding not to comment on his driving the previous day or what had happened between them the last night.Halfway through, she turned on the radio, surprising Xavier even more. By the time they crossed the Silver Moon border, Zoe and Xavier were singing along to the songs like they were returning from the best trip of their lives. Werewolves need a special kind of alcohol to get drunk because of their higher metabolism t

[This chapter contains mentions of gore, torture, and loss of body parts. Reader discretion is advised.]>Zoe did not know what to believe anymore. Was Aunt Julie truly dead? Was it really John standing in front of her claiming to have killed Aunt Julie? She had so many questions. How was he there? Why wasn't John paying for his crimes in some dark dungeon?Xavier was ready to pounce on John at any moment, "Give me one good reason not to tear you to shreds right here, right now!"Anyone looking at Xavier would have fainted due to fright. But, John merely stood with his head held high and his hands in his pockets like his life wasn't being threatened by an Alpha with a wolf twice his size."How about I give you three?" John smirked and lazily leaned against the kitchen island, "First, if you kill me here and now, you will be declared a murderer and wanted for werewolfcide on foreign territory by none other than your own father. Papa Shaw is very upset, Xavier."Xavier knew

>It took a while for Dahlia to give up on Zoe's exhausted form and return the control of her body. Just like the first time, Zoe fainted instantly. Xavier found her lying in the street with John's mangled corpse beside his vehicle which they hadn't noticed parked across the street from the house when they had arrived earlier. He shifted back and carried her naked form indoors. First, he cleaned himself up and borrowed a suit from Joe Simmons' wardrobe. Then, he used a wet towel to clean Zoe up and then, picked a sky blue mid-length dress with white cotton flowers print from her closet and dressed her up as well.Then, while he waited for Zoe to regain consciousness, he dragged all the dead bodies of the rogues into the woods. He fixed the living room as much as he could and then, he went to the woods to make a pyre for Aunt Julie. She had a major role in Zoe's life and more importantly, she was an honorable werewolf who died trying to protect her loved ones. She deserved

>Xavier had no idea what was happening but trusted his mate and her animal.So, he pressed gas and they did not stop until they were near the Silver Moon borders. Zoe and Xavier exchanged confused glances as they stopped behind a long queue."What are they doing?" Xavier muttered to himself as he craned his neck out the window to look at what was happening at the border."What do you see? Who is doing what?" Zoe asked worriedly. Dahlia was still agitated and wanted them to leave the Silver Moon territory as soon as possible. Xavier sat back, "I don't know, but Imma check it out." He got out of the car and walked to the car ahead of them. He bent at the window and asked the driver, "Hi, do you know what is going on here? When did Silver Moon tighten border security?" After all, they had entered yesterday and there was no one to stop them."The Alpha gave the order early in the morning to check and record every individual and vehicle that passes through all border gates fro

>Spike gave up control back to Xavier, who shifted to his human form, buck naked in all his glory.At first, Zoe tried to look elsewhere, believing it was a mistake on his part because they were in a state of extreme worry and hurry. But then, he tilted his head at her reaction and sauntered over confidently, not caring about his nakedness or the dirt and humus sticking to his bare feet.Instead of going to the back of the car and getting dressed, he stood before Zoe until she looked him right in the eyes, "I see clothes are not an option right now." She said sarcastically.He leaned in sensually and whispered in her ear with a smirk, "Nothing you haven't seen before."Not wanting to let him see the effect that he had on her, "In case you have forgotten, we are still on the run. We need to cross that border." She made sure that practiced extreme self-control and did not let her eyes wander anywhere. The kiss that they had shared did not mean that she was ready for the next

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,~
Lycan Queen The Mole
>Everything felt weird but I did not have the time to focus on that. The Sun, the oxygen, the wind, and the scent of early spring.It felt like an old memory that eluded me. But then, I had no memories so technically, all memories eluded me. My therapist told me that I had no siblings or parents. I was lucky that they had found me nearly dead and saved me. I owed them my existence. If it wasn't for their benevolent help, I would be dead. But now, I got to use my life for a better cause.I was in constant contact with my handler, Mr. Croft, as I was sent into the field. The world felt like a strange new place that I knew but had forgotten. But as a soldier, I was trained not to get distracted. So, I got on the first train to Blood Crescent.>Xavier and Zoe exchanged glances. "Wait, you went back? When? Why would they send you there? How am I only finding out about this now? I asked Jacob about you every time I could." Xavier felt his heart get heavier. One of
