Arella’s POV

After my less-than-fortunate encounter with Noah, I walked back to my room--- and who other should I run into, than Alpha King Zane! Groaning, I wanted to just duck or hide. But stupid pride dictated that I held my head high and walked past him as if he hadn’t just crushed my heart and soul.

Yeah, pathetic, I know…

But despite desperately trying not to catch feelings for this guy, I’d somehow attracted them anyway! I had no idea when or how it happened, but somehow my stupid hormones liked the big, brooding guy. Hell, I just couldn’t catch a break with men, it would seem. Either they refused to remain faithful to me or they were so faithful that he remained faithful to his dead wife. And now I was just left with a gaping hole where my heart used to be, knowing that I meant nothing to him, and he was just using me from the very beginning.

So yeah, fuck my life!

But I wasn’t

    Zane’s POVI watched the omega undress, knowing what she was going to do. But she had about the same sex appealed to me as an iron maiden. The library was supposed to be quiet—a refuge where I could think without distraction. Instead, I found myself cornered by an Omega who apparently thought shedding her clothes was the best way to gain my favor.I’d sought soles in the library, needing someplace quiet to think. I’d never set out to hurt Arella; I just wanted to keep her safe! Sure, I knew that it was an asshole move to let her think I’d just been using her in the cabin, but what else could I do? I had to keep her safe, and the only way to do that was to make everyone think that she meant nothing to me.I watched the Omega unbutton her blouse, my jaw tightening with irritation. I knew what she was trying to do, but her efforts stirred nothing in me.Maybe less than nothing!“I could make you fee

    Zane's POV“Arella,” I began, gesturing for her to sit down. Despite the raging storm inside me, I managed to keep my voice steady and calm and took a seat in front of her. “Thank you for coming.”“I didn’t have much choice, did I?” she said, crossing her arms. Her words were sharp, but the crack in her voice betrayed her.She was absolutely miserable...Seeing her in pain, pissed off my wolf, and he once again was pacing my mind, making my skin itch. I ignored that and the jab, forcing myself to meet her gaze.“We need to talk--- about us,” I said, mentally screaming fuck repeatedly in my mind. Why the hell did I suddenly sound like I was quoting a soap opera script rather than the well-polished King that I usually was?!“OK---?” She drawled, her brow furrowed and confusion flitting across her face. But I could also see her body stiffen and something just---

    Zane’s POV“Weak,” I snorted at my son as he sprawled on the ground, struggling to get up after the harder-than-necessary blow I’d just delivered.“I-I’m sorry, father,” Cain whined, tears in his eyes. My wolf let out a snarl, and clawed my insides, making pain coil inside of me. Because a part of me did feel bad for doing this. A part of me wanted to reach out and comfort him. To tell him that he did well. That I could see the improvements and the efforts of his hard work---But then I remembered the price of those emotions. How they had made me weak. And who, in the end, paid the ultimate price…My Luna Queen…My mate!Her blood was on my hands because of that weakness…So I took those useless emotions and stuck them someplace where the sun didn’t shine. I didn’t show any weakness. I wouldn’t. Not in front of my pack and not in front of my children. I refused to let them suffer because of my weakness.Not anymore…“Don’t be sorry,” I snarled, spinning on my heels and heading back to

    Zane’s POV“My King?” the delta said, causing me to stop and face him. I was heading back to my office after the fencing lesson with my son. Cain was a fast learner and soon he’d be able to beat even his seniors. Perhaps I should find him a private tutor or---“We have a problem,” the delta stuttered, clearly nervous. His hands were shaking slightly as he reached out for the tablet. Papers were a thing of the past and I for one hated the wasteful things. I liked my trees in the forest, not on my desk as clutter…“What’s the problem?” I growled, not in the mood to even out my voice. My wolf was in a foul mood – the beast always was these days. More feral than sane on the good days and today he was pissed. He was angry that Noah had been there to help our son.That should have been our job!And he was pissed because I wasn’t going to go to Eva’s kindergarten performance tonight. Like my son, my daughter would learn to be strong. She’d learn not to need anyone in her life – not even her

    Warning: Any form of stereotyping is there for gags – not provocation…Arella’s POVWhen you’re alone in the woods--- sure, you fantasize about naked men all the time. Hell, my vibrator had been many different men – most of which were fictional characters in the steamy novels I read. But at the back of my mind, I’d always known that the moment the bliss was gone and I opened my eyes, they’d be gone too.This guy, however, didn’t go anywhere!And yeah, he was butt-naked too…Turning off the ATV, I took another glance at the man. Had someone spiked the bottles of Bailley’s I’d asked Donna to send me or was there seriously a naked man lying right in front of me?Because he was hot!What?I was a hot-blooded woman – sue me for noticing that a passed-out guy was hot! And after all the men I’d seen out here, he looked like he’d just stepped out of a wet dream. A very nice ass and broad shoulders, toned legs, and--- did I mention the nice ass?It was an exceptionally nice ass…Anyway---With

    Warning: Any form of stereotyping is there for gags – not provocation…Arella’s POVOk, so--- NOT dead!That’s a plus…And the good news kept coming because, despite the severe break in his leg, nothing else seemed to be broken. Or infected, which was a miracle in my book, considering that the bear trap looked as old as Methuselah and as rusty as a Cuban automobile.Still disinfected the shit out of it…And this time the man remained still as--- well, the dead, but knock on wood for me, will you?I was sort of walking a thin line here…The huge guy continued to sleep soundly, while I wrapped his leg and unceremoniously got him onto the stretcher.And I do sincerely mean unceremoniously!The guy weighed a ton! And no matter what training I’d done in the past or continued to do every day out here, could have prepared me for the density of this being.“What did they make you out of? Clay?!” I panted, as I finally was done moving the mountain of muscles, aching in places I didn’t know I h

    Zane’s POVDrugged!I couldn’t believe that a human – and a FEMALE at that! – got the drop on me and managed to knock me out. My wolf growled at the notion, but for once, he wasn’t fighting tooth and nail to have control of our body. He was, just like me, too sluggish and drugged up to do anything other than grumble.A small blessing for now…I tried to focus on my surroundings, getting a sense of where I was. It smelled like wood, warmth and---Dinner?!That had even my wolf forcing his head up. Because whatever was cooking smelled absolutely divine! Hell, it made my mouth salivate and reminded me that I hadn’t eaten in goddess only knows how long.But what was that sound?Music, I concluded and---Was that heavy metal?It was!Ramstein, if my German wasn’t getting too rusty and someone was singing along. Terribly, I might add! Hell, I’d heard dying animals make more tolerable noise than that! I fought against the sluggishness in my body and forced myself to turn toward the sound. Wi

    Zane’s POVI didn’t trust this female!Not only did she NOT back away from me when I growled at her, but she seemed completely immune to my wolf. Any ordinary human would be cowering in fear or running away when the beast made his presence known.But she didn’t even flinch!Was she a witch or something? The cramped cabin sort of fit the bill, but the very alive – although slightly odd – chameleon on the shelf told me otherwise. But if she wasn’t a witch, then what the hell was she? And how the hell did she seem to be able to calm my wolf?I didn’t like it!But I had to admit – even if only to myself – that it felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders. Even if it was only for a little while, I felt as if my body could finally relax, because I wasn’t fighting my wolf all the goddess damned time. My tense muscles lost some of their tension and I felt a little sore, but in a good way. My wolf wasn’t taking control and I felt that I could breathe a little easier.Which was fuckin

The words were a blur of disbelief, as my chest kept tightening in fear. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!”His head snapped up, looking at me as if I’d just grown another head.“What I’m doing---?!” he gaped, shaking his head in disbelief. “What are you talking about?”I couldn’t believe it.Was he seriously playing dumb?!What the hell was his game?“You just tried to kidnap me!” I shouted, trying to make sense of what had just happened.

    Arella’s POV“She’s nothing to me!”Zane’s words hit me like a slap to the face, and I froze in the hallway, my heart pounding in my chest. I’d just overheard him, standing in his study, speaking to Noah with such cold finality. It felt as if the ground had shifted beneath me, my world tilting on its axis.I didn’t know how long I’d stood there, but when I finally turned and stumbled away, I could feel my legs trembling, the weight of his words felt like cold clutches gripping my heart in a tight merciless hold. I fought against the tears that threatened to fall, knowing they wouldn’t help anything. I knew it! I knew he felt that way…So why…?I had already known the truth—hadn’t I? He’d made it so clear over and over again. Zane wasn’t interested in me. He wasn’t even capable of it, not after losing Helena. He had no

    Zane’s POV“She’s a menace!”I slammed the door to my study shut with a force that made the hinges rattle. My blood was boiling, my fists clenched so tight I could feel my nails digging into my palms. Arella had gotten her way, and now, I was supposed to accept it. Because even if I didn’t want to, there was no way in hell I’d let myself be the butt of a joke where she fucking played me like a fiddle!Damned, stupid, Alpha pride!I couldn’t go back on my word! If I did, I’d look weak--- no, worse. I’d lose my respect. My pride was everything to me, but Arella was making me question every fucking thing I thought I knew.FUCK!Growling, I stomped over to my desk, turning it over and making my paperwork fly everywhere. Frustrating, inaugurating female! She had no idea what she was playing with—what this could mean for her, for my pups, for the entire

    Zane's POVFury, the likes I’d never felt before, colored my vision red. My wolf let out a howl of pure unadulterated wrath, his dominance like a whip cracking down on anyone close to him.I had to get out of there!I had to stop this!“Zane, Please!” I heard Selena beg, but she suddenly seemed so far away I could barely make out her words. “It’s for the pups! It’s---”“Where?” I asked although the sound that came out sounded like some kind of animal. “Where is Arella?”I wanted to believe that I could protect her, protect them, and keep everything inside these walls safe. But now I was confronted with the reality of it—an open invitation to the very monsters who had torn my life apart.I couldn’t!“The banquette hall,” Selena once again gave it up, unable to resist my alpha aura. I stormed off, ignoring the calls and plea

    Zane’s POV“… they’re so excited about it…”“...I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes when King Zane finds out…”“...all the planning goes through, Miss Garcia…”I’d been walking to my office when I picked up bits and pieces of conversation whispered in the corners by the omegas. It wasn’t until they mentioned Arella’s name that I stopped and listened. But the second the omegas saw me, they went pale and scurried away like I’d been the devil himself.Sighing, I couldn’t really blame them…Despite feeling better than I had in a year, my wolf was still unpredictable at best. And it wasn’t getting any better considering that I was trying to distance myself from my little angel. I hated that my body literally felt like shit when I wasn’t around her. What I hated even more, was letting her believe that o

  • The Alpha King's Saving Angel   Chapter 81

    Arella's POVI was glad I wasn’t sipping on my wine right then because that didn’t sound like the Zane I knew. Sure, I’d seen some of the core things that she mentioned. He was kind, and being a good King was very important to him. He wanted what was best for the kingdom and he wanted to protect his kids – although he’d been going about that the wrong way entirely. He was now ruled by anger and because he constantly had to fight his wolf, he was unpredictable at best...Hearing Selena talk about this side of him—this past version of him—was something strangely heartwarming. Something I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to see. Which strangely didn’t bother me. I’d gotten used to this version of Zane and to be honest, I think the old version of him would have bored me. While infuriating, a small sad
