Zane

Some days, she is hard to figure out. She had liked what I was doing for that brief second I was in her head.

My little wolf presses her lips together and drops her gaze, like she had said something wrong, but I love the fact she is honest with me, to a degree. There was still a hell of a lot that I knew she wasn’t telling me.

Letting go of her face, I start taking off my shirt. Her fingers clutches the clasps of the dungarees, but her eyes drift over me.

“Did you…” She clears her throat, turning away. “Did you find anything?”

“The place is abandoned. But I found this.” I pull the bloodied note from my pocket and hand it to her. She frowns at the stains and carefully unfolds it as though it might suddenly burst into flames.

She scans the three words and the frown deepens. “It’s my Dad’s handwriting.”

“I thought as much. I found it in your father’s office. Pinned to the door.”

“What does it mean?” She asks

“I’m hoping you can tell me.”

She turns in the chair and places the bloodie

    Willow“And we can talk more in the morning. Are you coming to bed?” He asks me as he removes the rest of his clothes.I nod, I am tired, but my mind doesn’t stop.I couldn’t sleep. He had his arms locked around me and yet I just couldn’t settle, not even with his comforting warmth and scent. I keep thinking of that note that was on my desk. How it was covered in blood when Zane had found it in the office.My father was in his bed. But then I had been too busy trying to get my mother to calm down while keeping my brother out of the room to notice anything else. Had he been attacked somewhere else? Had they slit his throat but not deep enough to kill him, just enough for him to lose loads of blood before he started to heal so that they could move him and finish the job and set my mother up as part of it?I couldn’t even remember if there were other scents in that room. Between my mother’s hysterical screams and my urgency to make her stop. What if I had missed something?It was weeks la

    ZaneI’m awake as soon as I feel my little wolf’s pain. She’s not in bed with me. Her dungarees that she hooked on her chair are also gone.Pulling on shorts, I race through the house, calling out to her.“Alpha Zane.” A naked Greyson barrels in through the front door. “Beta Stevens has taken Willow to the hospital.”“What the fuck happened?”His emerald eyes drop to the ground. “She came out a little while ago. She requested to see one of the prisoners. Beta Stevens granted her access. She also requested to speak to the prisoner alone." His chest puffs out, "She crossed the line.”He was talking about the chalk marking on the prison floor.“How bad is it?” I demand as I leave the house. Greyson keeps up with me. “Just her hands, we think.”There was a reason for the line. A guard had crossed it in a bid to get Cara to talk. He had left with a handprint etched into his face. No one else had been present, but the doctor said it was a burn.The line had been put in place to make sure C

    Hey everyone, thank you for reading and all the gems that you have shared. I'm sorry there has not been an update for a few days. I didn't noticed that the planned chapters hadn't released. Though it is a good job they didn't as today I noticed that there are some areas that did not flow properly with the story and would not have made sense. Updates will resume Monday 15th July to allow me time to sort out the massive mistake I made. (Writing while tired is not recommended, haha) I'm sorry for anyone that is waiting.Taylor West

    ZaneI keep my distance, making sure Cara couldn’t lay her hands on me. Though witches could be capable of far more, Cara’s hands seemed to be the source of her abilities.It had been a long time since Stevens or I had contact with a witch and not all witches carry the same abilities. But they all had the same thing in common, they were power driven. Always searching for more. Ninety five percent of the time, they ended up killing themselves from their desire to become stronger. We never had to intervene, until now. And all because Cara’s attention was on my mate.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I ask Addie“I don’t know…I just wanted this to all be over and because I believed her.”“I’m talking about your back. Don’t you think I should have been aware of her? A half wolf half witch breed.” I snarlTears pour down her cheeks. If she had cried when we were together, I would have been the one wiping them away, not the one causing them. I felt nothing for her.“I’m sorry. Is Willow… is she g

    WillowI fold my arms across my chest, tucking my freshly healed hands into my armpits as I stare out the window. Zane had brought me back to the house when the Doctor was happy to see that I had healed.The skin was still tight and they hurt if I overstretched my fingers or clenched my hand. Though I still didn’t understand why I couldn’t heal on my own. What made Zane so special that he could help me to heal?“Are you going to say anything?” Zane asks“I’m thinking.”“I can see that. Do you care to share what you are thinking about?”I give him a side glance to find that he is staring at me. Shaking my head, he sighs.“I had to kill them, little wolf. Did you really think I was going to let either one of them walk away from my prison unharmed? The only reason I was keeping them alive was to get answers for you. Cara hurt you. They both did. As a result, they were punished.”"Death isn't a punishment. A punishment means they have to live with they did. You killed them, you gave them

    ZaneI wait until she is heavily asleep. Watching her chest rise and fall in rhythm until she rolls onto her side. Her hand briefly searches for me on the empty side of the bed before she pulls my pillow in against her chest with a small smile. I would rather lay with her than have to deal with the unwanted visitor.Making my way downstairs, I find Stevens happily chatting to Harlow.His arrival had been unexpected, or maybe I should have expected it after he found out that Willow was here in my pack. It had been clear something had happened between them long ago and it was only a matter of time before curiosity got the best of him. Though it happened a lot sooner than I anticipated.“Is she coming down?” Harlow asks excitedly. His eyes searched behind me.“You will have to wait until morning. She is asleep. I do not want to wake her.”“No problem.” He smiles at me and all I want to do is reach my hand down his throat and rip out his tongue. “I assume you have a guest bedroom?”“I do.

    Willow“You still won’t tell me who is here to see me. But you say I know them. Is it a girl from the auction house?” I had been asking for the last ten minutes but Zane would give nothing away.“No.” His eyes follow me around the bedroom as I get ready“Then why won’t you tell me? Why is it some big secret? After I left the pack, I didn’t speak to anyone apart from people in the auction house and anyone else I know are people from here. It’s not like I’m someone who goes to the clubs every night.”“Little wolf, do you think I will let you go to the clubs every night? Maybe once a week if that is what you want to do, but only with me by your side.”“You know that is not what I mean. I’m just saying it’s not like I have friends.”“If you finish getting ready, you will see who it is. They are downstairs waiting in my office for you.”I scowl at him and roughly tie my hair into a bun, strands of blonde hair easily fall free. His dark eyes move to it but he doesn’t make a comment. They mo

    Willow“Will, it is so good to see you alive.” Harlow beams at me as Zane guides me to a chair.“Uh huh.” I mutter, still playing the questions over in my head.“When Dad told me that you, your mum and your brother tried to stay and that he didn’t let you. I was furious. If I had been there….”“It wouldn’t have made a difference.” Zane tells him, “Not if your father was involved in this shit.”Harlow frowns. “Maybe I would have found out a long time ago that he was involved.”“And what would you have done?” Zane asks. “Would you have killed him? Would you have revealed his secrets to his pack? Please, enlighten me.”“You don’t know everything about me, Zane.”Zane doesn’t respond and Harlow turns his attention back to me. “Do you still draw?”“Yes.”Harlow leans down by the desk and picks up a box, “I brought you these. I have always remembered how these were your favourites.”“You didn’t have to do that….” I peer in the box to find more of the same brand of pencils that Zane had alre

    Zane“You already…” She scowls, sitting up, “You already planned to kill him?”“The very second, he decided to speak to me as though I was one of his subjects. I don’t care for people that don’t respect other people’s positions.”Willow’s caramel eyes widen, and a tinge of pink coats her cheeks. She didn’t care much about my Alpha title either, and so far, my little wolf was the only one I would allow to get away with such disregard.“Shall we go home?” I ask as her head leans against my shoulder once more.“Yes.” Her body relaxes into mine. I knew Willow thought that she was responsible for his death, but I wanted her to understand that he was always going to die. That even if she told me to let go of him, I wouldn’t have.Twenty minutes into the journey, Willow’s head rests on my lap. Her eyes are closed, her lips are parted, and her heartbeat is quiet as she sleeps. I let out a groan. Harlow’s news was not something I wanted to hear, nor did I expect what he told me.‘Do you want t

    WillowAsh hurries me through the house with his hand pressed to my lower back and a concerned look on his face. I could recognise his expressions better than Zane’s. He taps my lower back, “Keep walking, don’t stop.”If anyone but him or Zane tried to do that, I would have smacked them, but I’m guessing Zane had explicitly requested that Ash keep a hand on me at all times.As we walk through the house, I see Greyson wave a couple of men forward. One steps in front of us, taking the lead, while the other joins at the rear, following us as we move. It made me feel like I had some kind of power and that I must be protected at all costs, but do I really need that much protection?If only Layla could see me now. I know she would find the whole situation hilarious. Before the end, even on the darkest days, she managed to keep so many of us focusing on the good things.I’m guided out of a different door than the one we walked through to enter the house. It leads to a familiar hallway, one

    Zane“Why would you do this?” Willow challenges Saskia.“Annabella,” she sneers. “Drives me up the fucking wall. I’m happy to see her squirm. You know she has caused a lot of issues for others, right, not just you?”There is a tiny smirk at the corners of Willow’s lips as Saskia sits in the empty chair. She folds her long legs over each other and smiles at my mate.“I admit, I was surprised to see you, but what you don’t know is that it was the best surprise.” She glances at me. “I shouldn’t have said what I said about her being a half-breed. I think I was just thrown by the situation, and it’s clear from your Beta that you are happy.”“I am.” I grin at her, wondering how Stevens managed to pull this off so quickly and get Saskia to set Harlow up. Whatever he did, it seemed like Saskia was more than happy to help.“What did you do?” Willow asks.“Left my underwear in Harlow’s bed and made sure an Omega saw me leaving his room. For it to have kicked off this quickly, I assume she went

    Hey everyone. I hope you are well.I just wanted to give a little update for those that don't follow me on socials.I have the rest of The Alpha's Obsession ready to go, however, I am currently holding back from uploading it due to the huge amount of piracy issues I have surrounding my other ongoing book. And I'm sure you will understand that I do not want to give these people the satisfaction of taking anymore of my hard earned work. I'm really sorry, I know you are expecting it, and trust me when I say, no one is more upset than I am. I enjoy telling stories and these pirates are taking that away from me.All I can say is that I will upload when this piracy business has been sorted.Take care Taylor West.*please feel free to follow me on socials to be kept up to date*

    Hey guys, so I hate having to do this, but this book is currently on pause while I sort out a few things. I don't like updating the book so infrequently, so the plan is to get this book finished and then have it all uploaded fairly quickly rather than less than a few chapters a week.I hope you all understand.Thank you

    Willow“Of course not.” Harlow frowns. “I can’t expect you to forget something that changed your life.”I step back from him. “So what do you want from me?”“I miss you.”“You don’t even know me anymore. This,” I gesture at my dress, “Isn’t me! The fancy shoes, everything you see, it’s all put on for this night. Because I, was looking for something.”“What are you looking for?” He asks curiously“It doesn’t matter.” I turn away from him and practically crash into Zane.“Are you okay?” Zane scowls“I want to leave.”“Will?” Harlow mutters from behind me“It was a mistake coming here.” I tell Zane. “All their fucking judgy eyes on me the entire time. Whispers spreading like wildfire.” I spin around to stare at Harlow. “Is that why you wanted me to come? To remind me of what I lost? To show everyone that I’m still here. The half wolf, half human abomination?”“It wasn’t like that, Will. I just wanted you to see that I am changing things.”I gesture to the garden. “This isn’t changing thi

    WillowFor a moment, I felt like I was back on that stage. All eyes on me, whispers running through the crowd. At least none of them were thinking about stroking their cocks.I pause to take a deep breath, reminding myself that Zane had told me we could leave at any point if it became too much. But now I am here, I want to prove a point. That I wasn't running scared anymore.“Are you good?” Zane whispers in my earI nod and take a step forward.“Then let's get a drink to steady those nerves.” He glances down to his hand where my nails are firmly embedded in his skin.“Sorry,” I whisper, uncurling my fingers. Little bloody crescents are quick to heal. He smiles at me and presses his lips to my cheek. In the corner, I spot Harlow staring at me. He is deep in conversation with another man that I don’t recognise but his eyes are fixated on me.At the bar, Zane orders me a glass of wine and though I wasn’t a drinker, I glug that thing like my life depended on it.Zane raises a brow at me,

    Zane“Do you think he is trying to win her over?” Steven’s asks as he hands me a black tie“It would be a fucking mistake. He knows it would start a war and he and his pack wouldn’t survive that.”“Whatever feelings Willow once had for him have long gone.” He tells me, “She is mated to you, not him.”“She’s spoken to you about him, hasn’t she?”“Briefly. You already know there was something between them in the past, long before you came into her life. All I am confirming is that she has no interest in going back to him.”I hear footsteps shuffle across the carpet upstairs. Bailey is first to appear. A massive grin on her face. She hurries down the stairs towards us and turns to admire her own work as Willow steps forward.The ruby red dress is a stark contrast to her creamy skin, but nevertheless, it is beautiful. The bodice is perfectly fitted to her curves, cradling her breasts beautifully. It nips in tight at the waist then turns into free flowing fabric that covers her legs.Willo

    WillowI was grateful to get back to our bedroom. I sit at my desk with a leg pulled up and using the other one to rotate me back and forth. I’m still annoyed with myself that my body betrayed me, but I won’t lie, Zane certainly knew what he was doing. My pussy still throbbed from the repeated…. Catching sight of my reflection in the window, a smile is plastered to my face. Okay, it was more than enjoyable.I doodle absentmindedly, but my eyes keep moving to the note that is sitting on the corner of my desk. I had put it there when I first sat down, trying to decide if Zane was right. Was I prepared for the answers? Was I prepared for more bad news? How much worse could it get?Zanes' oak and maple scent gradually grows stronger until he flings the door open. It bounces off the wall with force as he enters the room. “You have been invited to a ball!”He drops the open envelope in front of me.“A ball?
