CHAPTER 2: Spared, But Not Safe

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-14 18:30:21

I finally stirred awake, I wasn’t in the woods anymore. I was lying on a soft bed, bathed in the pale morning light. My body ached, but I'm still alive. Slowly sitting up, the dull ache in my limbs made me wince, but I forced herself to sit. My mind began racing, replaying everything that had happened—the chase, Kane’s transformation, the darkness that swallowed me right before I passed out. But one question gnawed at me more than any other.

Why didn’t he kill me?

His state last night doesn't look like something he would spare anymore that he laid his claws on. I mean, he literally lost his sense of reasoning. 

Scanning the room I'm in, the expensive items caught my eye. He certainly has a rich taste, but not the kind I love though. 

While staring blankly, a thought struck. 

“Maybe I have been held captive!” I gasped aloud. 

Without hesitation, I dashed out from the bed and ran towards the exit. Just a few inches from the door, someone swung it open, nearly hitting me. My quick reflex kicked in and I dodged, but that cost me falling.

Expecting to feel the hard floor any second, I felt something else instead. A strong arm. 

My eyes separated to see who my saviour was, and the face I saw left my mouth wide open. I'm staring at the most majestic face I have ever seen.

“We can't have our guest getting injured now, would we?” The voice which was smooth as butter spoke. 

“Uh…” I tried speaking, but remained speechless as I was helped to stand erect. 

Observing my saviour, I discovered it's actually a guy. A male would look more feminine than a female. Long silver hair that's covering half of his face and sleepy icy blue eyes, a slender body, and a thin waist that's snatched in a corset vest. Never have I been jealous of a man's form. 

“I know I'm irresistible, dear, but can we quit with the stares?” he said proudly and I shook my head lightly to come back to my senses. 

“Who are you?” I sprouted. 

“I believe the question should be where am I?” he chuckled.

There's something weird about his chuckle, it sounds menacing. Likewise his aura too. And to be sincere, he's right. I don't even know where the hell I am to start questioning him about his identity. 

“For someone who slept for days, you don't look weak like I had expected” he uttered as studied me closely. 

“Please come again” I stated, finding what I just heard outrageous. “You mean I have been lying unconscious for days?!”

“Yes” he nodded. “Three to be precise.”

What? Was I that shocked to be unconscious for that long? This is bad. My family must be very worried. No one even knows my whereabouts. I hope they're not thinking I'm dead. 

“You must be hungry, follow me” he said and with that statement, he started leaving. 

Since I don't have a clue where I am, I quietly trailed behind him. He seems nice, so I don't think there's a need to be alert. Anway, you can't trust a stranger you just met, so I still have to be very observant. 

As I followed the mysterious stranger down a long corridor, my mind raced. I still had no idea where I was or how I got here. Those horrifying images of Kane’s monstrous transformation in the woods and his claws coming straight for me is still torturing me. Yet, somehow, I was still alive. My instincts told me not to trust anyone here, especially the guy walking in front of me, no matter how harmless he seemed.

He led me into a large dining room with high ceilings and a chandelier that sparkled like the stars. The table was set with more food than I had ever seen. 

My stomach growled involuntarily, and the stranger chuckled. He gestured for me to sit, and despite my hesitation, the smell of the food—roast meat, fresh bread, and pastries—made my stomach gnaw with hunger. I couldn’t help myself. The table before me was filled with an extravagant spread, far too rich for a random meal. Was this a setup?

"Help yourself" he said as he took a seat.

“It isn't poisoned, is it?” I asked cautiously. 

“Why go through the trouble of doing that when your juicy flesh can just be ripped apart easily?” he replied, wearing a cunning grin on. 

Glaring at him, I sat down. My eyes kept flicking toward him, unsure of his intentions.

Slowly, I reached for a piece of bread, my hands shaking slightly. I took a tentative bite, expecting some kind of reaction—poison, paralysis, something—but nothing happened. It was just… bread. Delicious, warm bread.

"So…" I began slowly, "mind introducing yourself?"

“Lyall” he responded. 

“Ok, Lyall, where am I?” I threw another question as I kept feasting. 

He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. "You’re in a safe place" he replied smoothly, his lips curling into a half-smile. "Let’s just say you’re lucky to be alive after what happened that night."

I stiffened. "What do you know about that night?"

His icy blue eyes flickered with amusement. "More than you think."

My heart started pounding in my chest again, the memory of Kane’s growl still fresh in my mind.

"Kane—what did he do to me?"

Lyall’s expression darkened for a split second, so quick I almost missed it. 

"He didn’t do what he intended, clearly" he said softly. "But that doesn’t mean you’re safe. Not from him. Not from anyone."

The ominous tone in his voice sent a chill down my spine, and I glanced nervously at the door. 

"Why am I here? Why didn’t he kill me?" I swallowed and asked. 

He leaned forward now, his eyes boring into mine with unsettling intensity. "That’s the question, isn’t it? Why didn’t he kill you? The Alpha Kane we know wouldn’t have hesitated, especially in the state he was in. Yet, here you are." He paused, letting the words sink in.

"Whatever stopped him...you need to figure it out. Because next time, you might not be so lucky."

I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of his words pressing down on me. "Next time?"

"Oh, there’ll be a next time" he said with a smirk. "And when it comes, you’ll need to be ready."

“It won't happen again” I frowned. 

Lyall chuckled darkly, his eyes narrowing slightly, 

He chuckled darkly and asserted, “We would see about that.”

I gave him a glare but continued to eat. The warmth of the food helped calm my frayed nerves, though the tension between us never fully left.

After a few moments of quiet, I finally asked, “Where is Kane?”

Lyall’s gaze flicked to mine, his expression hardening. “You won’t be seeing him.”

“Why not?” I pushed, feeling irritation build. “He was the one who—”

“Alpha Kane commands that you go home, Nevaeh” he cut me off, his voice colder now. “You’ll be escorted back to Cedar Ridge shortly. This... this is as far as it goes.”

Something about his tone made me stop chewing. I set down the fork, my heart pounding. “What’s going on? Why won’t he see me?”

Lyall’s face tightened, as if he were wrestling with something internally. 

“It’s for your own safety” he muttered. “You’ve seen too much already.”

My stomach churned, and not from the food. “Seen too much of what?”

My skin prickled at his words. 

“That’s not important. What matters is that you’re leaving.”

I glanced at him, but his expression was unreadable now. 

“Leaving? Without even knowing what’s going on?”

Lyall stepped closer, his eyes gleaming with amusement. “You think you get answers? How adorable.” His voice was laced with mockery, and every word made my blood boil. “Alpha Kane has no time for you. Whatever happened in the woods was a mistake, an anomaly. Best for you to return to your simple little life and forget everything.”

“A mistake? I didn’t ask for any of this or to be his fated mate” My jaw tightened. 

Lyall’s smile widened, sharp as a knife. “Neither did Alpha Kane.”

The air in the room grew heavier, the tension between us thickening. Lyall shifted, looking uncomfortable, but remained silent.

“Listen to me” he said, his voice low and smooth, almost hypnotic. “Go home. Forget this ever happened.”

I clenched my fists under the table. The weight of everything was crashing down on me—the attack, the transformation, Kane sparing my life. None of it made sense, and this man isn’t about to explain it. 

Maybe he's right. I should listen to him and go home. After all, my family would be worried sick about my sudden disappearance. 

KANE

I paced back and forth, my mind churning with the weight of the recent revelations. Nevaeh. My mate. How could fate be so twisted? I clenched my fists, the sharp sting of my claws digging into my palms, but it was nothing compared to the burn of realization that she—*a rogue*—was bound to me by the sacred bond.

The crunch of footsteps behind me broke through my thoughts. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. Lyall.

"Alpha" he greeted, his voice low, respectful.

I stopped pacing but kept my back to him. "Is it done?"

"Yes" Lyall replied. "Nevaeh’s been sent home, just like you instructed. She seemed… confused, but she didn’t resist much. For now."

My jaw clenched at his words. Of course she’d be confused. She didn’t know the danger she was in. Or worse, my dislike for her.

"Good." My voice came out harsher than I intended, but I didn’t care. Everything was unbearable. "She has no business with me."

Lyall shifted his stance behind me, the subtle scrape of his boot against the floor catching my attention. 

"Are you sure about that, Alpha Kane?"

I turned slowly to face him, narrowing my eyes. 

"What are you getting at?" I frowned. 

He lifted a brow. "She’s your mate."

The word hung in the air like a death sentence, and I growled low in my throat, stepping closer. 

“Don’t remind me.” 

Lyall stood his ground, his eyes steady but cautious. "Ignoring the bond won’t make it go away, Alpha. You know that."

I shoved past him, the anger swirling inside me like a storm. 

"She’s not my concern!" I thundered. 

"Isn’t she?" His voice was quieter, almost thoughtful. "You didn’t see the way she was worried about you."

I froze mid-step, my back to him again. A bitter chuckle escaped me. "I don’t care how worried she was. She's a weakness I can’t afford."

Lyall sighed, the sound heavy. "She might be the key to ending your curse, Kane. But you know what that would cost her."

My chest tightened at his words, and for a split second, I imagined it. Her sacrifice. The curse lifted, my freedom gained. But at what price? Could I really live with that?

"Doesn’t matter" I said coldly. "She’s out of my life now. End of story."

But even as I said the words, I knew they were a lie. A twisted knot of fate had tied us together, and there was no running from it.

Lyall didn’t push further, just nodded. "Understood, Alpha. For now, I’ll keep an eye on things."

"You’re fighting fate, Alpha" he added quietly. "That never ends well."

“Fate has never ended well” I emotionlessly asserted.

The paperwork in front of me might as well have been blank. I stared at it, willing my mind to focus on mergers and alliances instead of the lady who haunted my thoughts. Nevaeh. Even thinking her name made my jaw tighten and my chest ache.“You’re a fool.” Kian’s voice sliced through my mind like a claw raking over glass. My wolf was restless, pacing, growling, relentless in his torment. He hadn’t stopped since the moment when we let her go. Since I let her go."I’m not discussing this" I muttered, low and harsh, my words echoing in the empty room.“You don’t have to discuss it. You have to feel it. She’s our mate, Kane. And you let her walk away like she was nothing. Like we are nothing.” “I fucking said I'm not discussing this!” I snarled, slamming my hand against the desk.

The pack lands were eerily silent, the thick pines around me swaying ominously in the wind.I inhaled sharply, the wild, musky scent of this territory setting my nerves on edge. Alpha Darius emerged from the vehicle beside me, his imposing frame as commanding as ever.“Welcome to Shadowfangs" he said, his deep voice smooth but heavy with dominance. “I trust you'll find your stay... memorable."I kept my expression neutral, though my stomach churned uneasily. “I'm sure I will" I replied evenly.As we entered the massive hall, I couldn't ignore it’s grandeur. Gleaming black marble floors reflected the flickering light of crystal chandeliers, while mounted trophies of slain beasts lined the walls like silent threats.

His posture remained unwavering, his expression carved from stone."You think you’re worthy of her?" Darius spat, his rage making his voice raw. "You can’t even control your own curse!"The insult struck like a thunderclap, but Kane gave no outward reaction. Instead, his gaze shifted—locking onto me. His amber eyes burned with something unreadable, sending a shiver down my spine. My heart stammered in a confusing mix of relief and dread.Darius moved first. His hand shot out, lightning fast, aiming to strike—but Kane was faster. In a blur of motion, Kane’s fist connected with Darius’s ribs. A sickening crack echoed through the grand hall as the impact sent Darius crashing into a marble pillar. The entire room seemed to inhale at once.Kane exhaled slowly, stepping forward with the lethal grace of a predat

    The morning sun bled through the tinted glass windows of my office, casting an eerie glow over the sleek black furniture.

The city skyline stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but my mind was elsewhere.Nevaeh.She had been in my home for a week now, yet every time I looked at her, something inside me twisted. The mate bond was a curse, tightening its grip with every breath she took within my territory. She didn’t belong here. A rogue. An outsider.And yet… I hadn’t let her go.My jaw clenched.I shoved the papers aside just as Eldric waltzed in like he owned the place, throwing himself into the chair across from my desk."What's up, Cuz?" he said, propping his feet up on my table."Get your fucking feet off my desk" I shot him a glare.Eldric grinned but made no move to obey.

The morning sun filters through the grand windows, casting golden streaks across the dark mahogany table where Kane and I sit. My plate is stacked high with eggs, toast, and crispy bacon, while Kane’s remains almost untouched—except for his steaming cup of tea, which he occasionally sips from, watching me with mild amusement. I ignore his stare and focus on my food. The warmth of the eggs, the crunch of the toast—it grounds me, gives me something to focus on besides the strange, brooding man across from me. Kane sets his cup down with a quiet clink. "How old are you?" he asks smoothly. I swallow a bite of toast before answering. “Twenty.” He hums, his expression unreadable.“Do you have siblings?” My hand pauses over my plate, surprised by the question. “Yes.

    NEVAEH The instant the pack house door shut behind me, I ran through the hallway, ignoring the curious glances from the omegas cleaning near the stairway. I didn’t slow down. I didn’t care. Not about them, not about the fact that I was probably trembling, not even about Kane’s Beta’s voice behind me calling my name.I reached my room.Slammed the door.And collapsed against it.My back hit the wood with a dull thud, and I slid down to the floor like every bone in my body had finally given up. My knees folded to my chest. My arms wrapped around them. And then the tears came—fast, hot, and furious.Gods, I had wanted to run. I’d wanted to tear that door open and throw myself into Ian’s arms the moment the car pulled up. And I had. For a second. For that one second, I had hope.But Kane’s hand had caught my wrist before I could move. Tight. Unrelenting. His words still echoed in my head:“Make one move to follow him, and your family will pay for it. You know I don’t bluff, Nevaeh.”His

And maybe she does. That fire of hers hasn’t dimmed since the moment she walked into this place—and every damn second, I feel the heat of it on my skin.She doesn’t once ask for help. Doesn’t complain. Doesn’t try to get under my skin like she usually does.That’s what gets to me the most.I’m used to her bite.Not this... focus.By the time the clock hits four, I’ve nearly forgotten she’s here—until she stands in front of my desk and lays the completed paperwork down.“All done” she says, tone flat. No smug smile. No sass. Just a simple statement.I look at the files, flipping through them.Clean. Accurate. Organized as hell.I pause, narrowing my gaze at her.“You finished all of this?”“Didn’t stutter” she replies.“You read and compiled everything yourself?” I arch a brow.Her jaw tightens like

I roll onto my side again, toss the pillow beneath my head, and stare at the ceiling, unable to corral my thoughts. Every time I close my eyes, the same nightmares return—whispers in the woods, shadows chasing me, a voice pulling at something deep inside me.With a frustrated sigh, I swing my legs off the bed. The cool floor brings brief relief. I stand, pace the room for a moment, then head for the door. The hallway is dim, lit by a soft orange glow flickering from distant sconces. As I step out, I freeze.He’s there.Just a few feet away, Kane stands against the shadows, his presence as dark and untouchable as the night itself. He doesn’t notice me right away, his focus fixed on the hallway ahead. My throat tightens. My mind blanks. That look on his face—the coldness in his eyes—it never fades. Not even when he’s near.I clear my throat, the sound sl

No blood to spill.And yet… there she is.Standing in front of a fruit stall, arguing with a vendor like the world isn’t full of monsters in human skin. Her coat hangs off one shoulder, a stray strand of hair falling into her face as she waves a coin in the air, clearly unimpressed with the price.Something about her posture—the fire in her stance, the curve of her mouth when she smirks—shifts the air.Mine.The word shoots through me before I can strangle it.What the hell?My wolf huffs, tail twitching like a pup.
