Arella's POV

Too bad that behind the whole façade was a cheating bastard who couldn’t tell the truth even if his life depended on it!

“Here you go,” I said, forcing a smile, as I handed Zane a change of clothes. Despite Kyle being the big and jock-type of guy, Zane was just in a class of his own. The guy was massive and even the stuff that was over-sized for my ex seemed to cling to the big mobster like it was glued on.

I wasn’t complaining…!

“Why is so much of his stuff here?” Zane growled behind me since I’d turned my back to give him some privacy to get dressed. “His scent isn’t anywhere in the cabin, so he left quite a while ago.”

Say--- what?!

“His scent?” I echoed bewildered--- wondering where in the Amish culture he came from?

I couldn’t help but glance over my shoulder and looked at Zane. For a split s

    Arella's POVI showered quickly and dressed in a loose T-shirt and baggy sweatpants. Rinsing out my uniform, I hung it up to dry before I ventured out again. At first glance, I couldn’t see Zane anywhere but my eyes found him next to the fireplace. He’d been nice enough to put in more firewood, but that apparently was the extent of his manners. Because, of course, the guy was going through MY weapon’s chest!“What the hell are you doing?” I gaped, marching right up to him, and--- yeah, a little bit of fear trickled down my spine. The man was dangerous and something about him screamed: “I’ve killed before and didn’t lose any sleep over it”.No way did I trust the fucker with a gun!But other than my shotgun, my weapon’s chest had a huge lock on it.One that apparently seemed to have gone missing!And no, I didn’t notice it among the flames in the firep

    Zane’s POV“You mean what kind of father pretends that you don’t exist and leaves you to fend for yourself?”Her words slammed into me like a sledgehammer. My heart shuddered in my chest and my gut clenched painfully. My wolf howled and whimpered, snarled, and cried out at the hurt that coursed through me. As if he could feel this pain as clearly as I could…“A selfish bastard!”No!I thought over and over again.No, we weren’t the same!Her father had abandoned her. He didn’t care about her. It wasn’t the same thing. I CARED about my pups! I loved them and that’s why I wanted them stronger than me. I didn’t want them riddled with weakness and delusions of mates. I wanted them to live the best life that they could. Besides, I wasn’t any good for them. I was weak! I couldn’t even keep their mother safe. I couldn&rsquo

    Zane's POVI walked back over to the couch, making sure that she could see me limp before I settled down. She didn’t seem to have anything else to say, because she turned around and started sorting through the pile of metal and plastic on the table. Or perhaps she just sensed that I needed some time to think…Thinking back, I couldn’t remember there ever being a conscious decision where I decided that everything I did – every hurtful and cruel word I said or thing I did – was done in order to protect my children. And the more I thought about it, I was ashamed to realize that, over time, it had become my excuse to keep away from them. It was a lie I chose to believe because I couldn’t face them. I couldn’t face the fact that I let them down. That I failed them. That one day they’d see me---And realize I let their mother die!She was gone because of me. I made them motherless. I too

    Zane’s POV“NOAH!!!”My brother jumped about a mile in the air, slinging the headphones off his head, and in his haste to get up, slammed his leg into the desk. He cursed under his breath before his head snapped in my direction.“Yeah?” he groaned out, as he came to a stance. He was sitting in my chair and, while I didn’t mind, my wolf was lashing out at him. Normally, I would know instantly why my wolf was lashing out at him, but as he was now, it was a coin toss on whether it was because I was angry at Noah for letting Cain skip his classes or because of the seating situation…The office had sort of become my sanctuary, the place I spent most of my days buried in either the pack or company work. It was how I avoided most of the pack and kept him from killing anything he came into contact with. Most of the time it worked, but my violent temper and bloody outbursts had still reached every corner

    Zane's POV“I’m sorry,” Noah said carefully, knowing that I could snap at any moment. “I should have asked you first, but he---”“Shut up!” I snapped, not wanting to hear anything more. I already knew I’d fucked up; I didn’t want it rubbed in my face. My wolf was raging out of control again, and I was struggling to keep him under wraps. I knew that my aura was leaking out from the cracks in my shield, and it would have made most werewolves cower in fear. But Noah wasn’t them and he could take my alpha aura, seeing that we were of the same blood. He did, however, respectfully lower his head and exposed his neck to me. Normally, this would have calmed an agitated alpha, but instead, my wolf wanted to sink his teeth into his flesh and rip him apart.Fucking, insane moron!“Do you have any leads? On the case?” I growled instead, hoping that changing the subject i

    Zane’s POVWaiting, I found myself getting bored… OK, so it had been 5 minutes, but my life was usually very busy. I was the king and between the company, alpha meetings, and generally just running my own pack, I was usually someone who rarely had a moment to myself. And now I was regularly running away to spend time with a human that I was beginning to think was just as crazy as my wolf!But to each their fucking own…I was tired of fighting the beast and, honestly, whatever the infuriating female was doing, it helped. If only it bought me just a little more time, I would take it. Especially now, that I had so much to make up for. So much to make right before I totally lost control of my wolf and he went feral. I had to make sure that my pups knew how important they were. And that everything I did, I did for them…But how the hell did I go about doing that?Even back when I wasn’t

    Zane's POV“What the hell are you doing up there?”Arella’s angry voice clipped the air, and it was obvious she was pissed. Sure, I’d heard her approach, but for some reason, I wanted her to know I’d been up here. I wanted her to know that I’d invaded every bit of her personal space.That wherever she was, I was too…“Did you make these?” I asked instead, holding up another extremely detailed chipmunk, clutching a nut between his small paws. She glared at me for a little while longer and I had to admit that it was sort of adorable when she folded her arms over her chest like that and tapped her foot impatiently.“Yes,” she snapped, breathing in slowly to control her anger. Well, Latinas did have an infamous temper, did they not?I found that I liked it…“Now what the hell are you doing in MY bedroom?” she growled, a

    Zane's POV“My brother is with them, so it’s not like they’re not being taken care of,” I wanted to reassure her. I was many things, but I wouldn’t have left my children without someone there to protect them. I may have failed them in many ways, but I would never abuse or neglect my children. For some reason, it was important to me that she knew this…“Besides,” I shrugged, feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden, and once again focused on the owl in my hands. “I’m not great company. Most of the time.”Why not tell her?I’d been an asshole to her most of my time being here, so her thinking I was a brooding, rude son of a bitch couldn’t really come as a surprise to her. It’s not like she’d suddenly think of me differently. Yet, the idea that she might think bad of me, had my insides clutching painfully.I didn’t like it…But

    Arella’s POV“I don’t sense any magic coming from her,” a strange voice said somewhere far away. “Are we sure she’s human?”Magic?!Are we sure she’s human?What kind of questions were those? And goodness gracious, what was that smell? It smelled like a hospital only a million times more potent. If I could, I would have scrunched my nose. But I couldn’t because, for some reason, my body was completely unresponsive.Why couldn’t I move?Mild panic started to sliver into my chest and I found it hard to breathe. I tried to think of a reason, but my mind came up blank. I remembered arguing with Zane that morning – which wasn’t really that out of the ordinary. I swear, sometimes that man lives to make me old. No one had ever tested my patience the way Zane did.The stubborn, insurable, arrogant---Speaking of…

    Zane's POVTrue that I’d broken the law – first by killing “innocent” humans and then by turning Arella without her consent – and by law, they could, or more accurately, should arrest me and have me thrown in a cell. But my family hadn’t turned on me so far and they wouldn’t turn on me now.So--- innocent by default?“The law states that you need the king’s permission before turning a human,” I growled, letting him go and watching him barely catching himself as he stumbled to the floor. “I gave myself permission.”“But she doesn’t know,” Noah growled, pushing me away from our parents and getting between us, facing me. “And she’s not a mate---” He abruptly cut himself off, as if suddenly realizing something, and gave me a stunned glance.“Is she?”The seconds of tension and hopeful glances I got wer

    Zane's POV“Zane?” My father asked, the worry in his tone making my human half have some compassion towards the man. He was just worried about me, his son. Before me, he’d been the King of the Werewolves, and everything I knew about the kingdom, he’d taught me. He was a great father – strict but caring and kind to his pups. And I used to always listen to him and take his advice when I had tough decisions to make.Lately, that hadn’t been the case.I fought with him all the time, since he and Noah were the only ones who still could get away (and live) with that shit. They couldn’t take me in a physical fight and the few times we became physical, I remind them of that. Not that I actually wanted to hurt my family, but I’d been afraid that if I didn’t keep them at a distance, I would end up killing them…“They-they say you had human blood on you,” he continued, as my brother came up next to him, as if ready to intervene if my wolf t

    Zane’s POVI sat there, staring at her in the hospital bed. A whirlwind of emotions had washed through me the last couple of hours and, honestly, I felt exhausted.I felt guilty.I’d failed her…She’d almost died protecting me because she didn’t know that--- My wolf growled low, wishing he could kill those asshole humans again. But in a way, I also wanted to thank them. NOT for shooting my little angel, but--- if they hadn’t, then…I know I should feel like a bastard!I know I should feel bad for taking away her choice. That I’d turned her, without her even knowing what I was.Yet a part of me couldn’t be sorry.I’d already decided to show her what I was. After she caught me returning from the castle, I knew I wouldn’t be able to weasel my way out of it anymore. And while there would be consequences for my ac

    Zane’s POVFor a second, everything inside of me went black.There were no emotions.No senses.Nothing…Just a void of nothingness. All while a film played out in front of me.No sounds.No color.Nothing… Arella was in the line of fire.The man pulled the trigger.And I didn’t do anything!Nothing…I just stood there – frozen as I watched her jump in front of me. I didn’t act. I didn’t think. I didn’t--- Well, actually, I did think one thing:What the hell is that female doing here?And then I had dismissed her, counting on her to be smart enough to stay out of danger.Infuriating female!Sure, the man had a gun pointed toward me, but there was no bullet that could kill me. It had to be laced with silver or wolf’s bane to harm the King of t

    Arella's POV“I don’t know!” I yelled again and threw out my arms, forgetting that I had a loaded gun in my hands. Angry at myself now, I slammed it down on the table before turning to him again. “No woman knows how a man can tell her to calm down! That’s the point of being upset. You’re upset!”“Fine, be upset,” Zane growled back and folded his huge arms over his impressive chest. “But I’m not telling you shit until your ass has the fuck calmed down, so be my guest and sulk!”Silence!My pounding heart seemed to be the only thing that echoed in the quiet room. But surprisingly, it wasn’t speeding up like you might have expected it to do.It calmed…Because whether I liked it or not, I couldn’t control Zane. I couldn’t force anything out of him and, honestly, I was the one acting like a brat right now. Zane wanted to sha

    Arella's POVPain and betrayal raced hot through my veins and I hated the fact that my eyes stung with tears. Damn it! I ran for the chest and slammed it open, cursing myself for being so stupid. For still being so naïve, for letting myself---It hadn’t been touched.All of my weapons and magazines were all still there. He hadn’t taken off with them. With a strange sense of relief and surprise, I stood gaping at the chest for another moment. Why hadn’t he taken off with it, a part of me wondered? That part of me was also the part that accepted that I’d never be loved and accepted. That I was a fool for trusting men. That I was wrong in trusting Zane and his stupid words.Another part of me was confused.Why hadn’t he taken them when he had the chance? That part of me wondered. When he knew, that I was beginning to trust him? When I was giving in to his infuriating, demanding yet seductive presence

    The stereotypes are there for gags – please just laugh…Arella’s POVHe kissed me!Zane actually kissed me--- and I didn’t slap the living shit out of him! I honestly think that’s what shocked me the most. Not the fact that he was a divine kisser – I already suspected that he was… I mean, I’d seen his body. There was no way that a guy like that didn’t have a harem of women throwing themselves at him at every corner…And a part of me hated that!Hated that he probably had countless women begging for his attention. Women that had gone all the way and knew what that steel shaft felt like. Knew what it was like to have Zane fill them up completely--- while I’d pushed him away.Stupid!So stupid! Why had I done that? What was the harm again? I mean ranger and criminal sounded more like a bad Spanish soap opera o

    Zane's POVI waited until Arella was asleep before I stood and walked out of the cabin. I undressed and shifted into my huge brown beast that quickly ate up the distance between the cabin and the castle. I gave a quick greeting to the border patrols and again to the guards when we entered the castle. The sun had gone down a long time ago and it was well past midnight, so I didn’t bother asking where the children were. I might be a shitty father, but even I knew how to keep track of their bedtime.“Zane?”I spun around to see Noah giving me a surprised look.“What are you doing here?” he asked--- and my wolf let out a low growl.“He seriously needs to get laid!” my wolf gruffly huffed, in a voice I barely recognized. But that still didn’t stop me from mentally grinning. Yeah, that sounded like something my old wolf would have said. I snickered, and for a brief moment, wondered
