ZaneWatching Amanda fight was like witnessing a tempest in a human form. Her movements were fluid and fierce, each strike calculated and precise. I stood at a distance, concealed by the shadows of the thick forest, my heart a strange mix of admiration and regret. She fought with a bravery that was almost otherworldly, deflecting blows with a grace that belied the raw power behind them. It wasn't going to be easy to take her down. My men knew it, and I knew it too. But we had our orders."Amanda!" I shouted, my voice cutting through the chaos of the skirmish. She turned, her eyes locking onto mine, and I saw it—the flicker of suspicion, the dawning realization. She knew something was off. She'd always been perceptive, too perceptive. Her eyes, filled with a mixture of pain and betrayal, bore into me."Zane?" she called back, her voice strained from the exertion. "What the hell is going on?"For a split second, I considered telling her everything, explaining that the attackers surround
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted You need to trust me.
AmandaTears streamed down my face, each droplet a bitter reminder of the depths of my naivety. Sitting there in the cold, unyielding confines of the holding cell Zane had so meticulously chosen for me, I couldn’t help but replay the events that had led me here. The dim light cast eerie shadows on the walls, amplifying my sense of isolation. My thoughts churned like a storm, battering against my sanity. How could I have been so foolish? I kept asking myself, the question a relentless echo in my mind. How could I have ever trusted him, especially after everything he'd done?The forest seemed so distant now, yet every detail was etched into my memory with cruel clarity. Zane, with his disarming smile and charming words, had led me through the dense underbrush, his presence a deceptive promise of safety. I wanted to believe in him, despite the countless warnings and the blatant signs of his treachery. Stubbornness, that’s what it was. My infuriating, unyielding stubbornness had blinded
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted A formidable foe.
ZaneI entered the grand hall, my footsteps echoing against the stone floor as I approached the council of elders. Their faces were etched with age and wisdom, their eyes sharp and probing. The room was filled with an air of solemnity and power, the walls lined with ancient tapestries that told stories of our lineage and battles fought. The flickering torches cast long shadows, adding to the gravity of the moment."Zane," Elder Thorne began, his voice gravelly and commanding. "We have been waiting for you. We heard you have captured Amanda."I nodded, trying to keep my face neutral. "Yes, Elder Thorne. Amanda is now in my custody. She is held securely, unable to escape."The elders exchanged glances, a mixture of approval and concern in their expressions. Elder Maris, the only female elder, leaned forward, her eyes boring into mine. "And what do you propose we do next, Zane? Capturing her is only the first step."I took a deep breath, choosing my words carefully. "Amanda is a formida
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted What's going on?
AlexI walked through the dense forest, my footsteps barely making a sound on the carpet of fallen leaves. The air was thick with the scent of pine and earth, mingling with the faint aroma of the nearby river. My mind, however, was far from the tranquility around me. Amanda's face kept flashing before my eyes, her bright smile replaced by a look of terror. I couldn't shake the image of her being held captive by Zane, his cruel eyes and twisted grin haunting my thoughts. The pack was bustling with activity, everyone preparing for the upcoming full moon, but my focus remained solely on rescuing Amanda.I paused near a clearing, watching as a few members of the pack sparred in their wolf forms. "Alex, you look like you've seen a ghost," Marcus called out, shifting back into his human form. His tone was light, but there was concern in his eyes. "What's going on?""It's Amanda," I replied, running a hand through my hair in frustration. "We need to get her out of Zane's clutches before i

Once Rejected, Twice Accepted My people will come for me.
ZaneAs I sat within my chambers, the flickering candlelight casting wavering shadows on the stone walls, I found my thoughts inevitably drifting to Amanda. She was in my custody, a mere floor below, locked away in the dungeon's damp and unforgiving confines. The room around me, though more comfortable than hers, felt equally oppressive under the weight of my thoughts. I knew a time would come when I would have to release her. Amanda's people were resourceful and determined. Sooner or later, they would come for her, and when that happened, there would be little I could do to stop them.I leaned back in my chair, running a hand through my hair as I replayed our conversations in my mind. Amanda had been defiant, her spirit unbroken despite the circumstances. "You can't keep me here forever, Zane," she'd said, her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and determination. "My people will come for me. They'll find a way, and when they do, you'll regret ever taking me."Her words echoed in my min
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted You can't survive.
AmandaThe dim light of the cell flickered, casting eerie shadows on the damp stone walls. I sat huddled in the corner, my arms wrapped around my knees, trying to keep warm. The air was thick with the scent of mildew and despair, a constant reminder of how long I had been trapped here. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway. I looked up, my heart pounding in my chest, knowing that Zane was coming.As he appeared in the doorway, his silhouette was dark and imposing. He stepped inside, his cold eyes scanning the cell before settling on me. "Amanda," he said, his voice dripping with a false sense of concern. "I’ve brought you some food."I watched him warily, not moving an inch. "I don’t want anything from you, Zane," I replied, my voice steady despite the fear gnawing at my insides.He sighed, a theatrical display of disappointment. "Amanda, you must eat. You can’t survive on stubbornness alone.""I’ll manage," I snapped back, refusing to give hi
Once Rejected, Twice Accepted We take fight to them.
AlexAs the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an eerie glow over the forest, I gathered my men in the clearing just outside our camp. The anticipation was palpable, each warrior's face a mask of grim determination. We had trained for weeks for this moment, honing our skills and sharpening our blades. Our target: Zane's pack, the ruthless wolves who had taken our Alpha, Amanda. There was a burning fire in my chest, a need for vengeance that mirrored the resolve I saw in the eyes of my comrades. I knew we couldn't lose. Not tonight. Not when Amanda's life hung in the balance."Alright, listen up," I barked, drawing everyone's attention. "Tonight, we will take the fight to them. We fight for Amanda. We fight for our pack. We fight to end Zane's reign of terror once and for all. No one holds back. We move as one, strike hard, and don't stop until every last one of them is down."A murmur of agreement rippled through the group. I looked each of them in the eye, seeing the flicker of sh
