[Nol’s POV]

I stand in the hall waiting as Zane and Eliana have their much-anticipated reunion. The urge to burst in there and stop them from being alone hits me, but I keep it together.

From what I could hear, things weren’t going the way that I anticipated, and in a way, I was relieved.

Eliana wasn’t accepting Zane’s advances, but I was partly to blame for that.

It wasn’t like I wanted to listen in on their conversation, but with my heightened senses, it was inevitable.

Sighing, I wait as their conversation seems to end in hopes that I could end this irritating situation, and when the door opens and Zane steps out, I know that I’ve gotten my chance.

When he sees me, his expression falls, and anger flashes in his eyes, but he doesn’t speak. Instead, he waits for me to say something. Was he expecting me to gloat?

"Nol?" Eliana says, appearing a moment later. "Why are you standing there?"

As she speaks, Zane’s face falls even more, and I’m sure it's because of how intimately she called

    [Zane’s POV]I follow closely behind Nol and Blaine as they lead the way through the intricate tunnel system that will lead us to Alexandria. Soon, I would fulfill my promise to her and then declare that this would be the last thing that I would go out of my way to do for her. After this, all our secrets would be revealed, especially to Eliana.Since leaving her, all I could think of was the pained look on her face while she mentioned me having another. At the time, I couldn’t tell her the truth out of fear of stressing her out even further. But once this was finished, I would reveal it all.No matter how many times I told myself I should respect her wishes, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She was my past, present, and future; I refused to let her go."Stop," Nol’s quiet voice murmurs, snapping me out of my head. "There seems to be guards up ahead.""Do we attack or lure them away?" Blaine asks."I think attack is best," Nol responds. "If we were to lead them away, then there is a c

    [Alexandria’s POV]I let out a howl of excitement as I shift and jump onto the guard closest to me. Not wasting time, I dig my teeth into his throat and tear.‘Why are you killing him?’ Zane’s voice gasps in my head. ‘That’ll make you an actual criminal.’‘I don’t give a damn,’ I shrug. ‘These are my father’s butt buddies.’After everything I had endured for the past week behind bars, I was ready to kill them all, and that was exactly what I intended to do. If they wanted to treat me as a murderer, I would be an actual murderer.I finish off the guard I’m dealing with and move onto another, tackling him to the ground and using a paw to rip his face to shreds.‘All of you deserve to die.’A shiver rushes through me as I remember their taunting and threats to take advantage of me while I was here. I promised them they’d regret their words when I got out, and now they were seeing. Too bad they wouldn’t live to realize.Letting out a huff of amusement, I finish off the man beneath me and

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   Caught In The Act

    [Zane’s POV]I sit on my bed, waiting, while the sounds of the shower drift around me. The minute we arrived at my room, Alexandria rushed into the bathroom, and since then she had already spent a good forty minutes cleaning off all the scum of the prison she had been trapped in.Despite myself, I kept wanting to go back downstairs where Eliana was, but I knew that I couldn’t possibly leave Alexandria here alone since she considered everyone present to be her enemy.Sighing, I rest my head in my hands and close my eyes while pain radiates deep in my chest as the scene downstairs plays in my mind again and again."Dammit," I hiss just as the bathroom door opens."What’s wrong?" Alexandria asks, strolling toward me in nothing but a robe. "Are you moping over the fact that your Little Lana has forgotten all about you?""Alexandria," I warn, shooting her a glare. "Why aren’t you in the clothes you were given?""Because this is much more comfortable," she shrugs. "Anyway, you shouldn’t min

    [Eliana’s POV]I rush out of the room, not bothering to look behind me to see whatever expression Zane may be giving me. I was sure it was something that screamed, Please believe me, but to see him with another woman left a large hole in my heart.Sighing, I try to push aside the ridiculous feeling. Who was I to care what he did and who he did it with? We were nothing more than strangers by this point in our own lives. I couldn’t let the past keep swaying me, not now or ever, especially since I was just as guilty as he was."Right," I huff, lifting my hands and slapping both my cheeks. "You’re alright."Shaking off the last bit of unease I was feeling, I begin to make my way downstairs, only to find Blaine at the bottom staring up at me with a look of amusement.Frowning, I attempt to walk past him, but am stopped as his arm shoots out."See something interesting?" he asks, smirking."Nothing," I respond. "Would you please move?""Not until you fix that look on your face.""What look?

    [Alexandria’s POV]I stand aside, watching as Nol and company go over the main route to the underworld that we will be taking. As he speaks, Zane eyes Eliana like a lovesick puppy, and from time to time she looks at him and hurt flashes in her eyes.Those two were too fucking obvious, but I had to admit, it was fun seeing their suffering. At least there were others out there feeling the same way I did. In a way, it was comforting.As this thought hits me, Blaine’s eyes come to rest on mine, and a knowing look flashes in them.‘What?’ I mouth, not looking away like I was sure he wanted me to. ‘Take a picture; it lasts longer.’Lifting my fingers, I motion using a camera, and a smirk forms on Blaine’s handsome face.Heh, he was enjoying watching all of this as much as me, only I was also a target of his watching. Whatever, he could watch all he wanted. He and I were in the same position. We were outsiders looking in on this freakish love triangle.After Nol finishes with his little meet

    [Eliana’s POV]I watch as Alexandria makes her way across the room and then disappears into the bathroom so that I’m alone. Letting out a sigh, I head out of the room and make my way back downstairs to find Nol, Blaine, and Zane still talking.When Nol spots me, he gets up and comes over with a look of concern in his eyes. Despite myself, I feel my stomach do a slit flip over the thought of him actually caring about me, especially after what he did."Something wrong?" He asks, eyeing me. "Or did you just miss me?""I need some pillows and a blanket," I explain, ignoring his question. "I’m giving Alexandria the bed, so I need something for myself.""And where the hell are you going to sleep?" Nol demands, his eyes flashing red. "A woman in your condition shouldn’t...""I’ll be fine," I counter as Zane and Blaine’s eyes come to rest on us. "The floor isn’t that bad, and I’m so early in my pregnancy that it won’t make a difference.""Like hell, it won’t," Nol snaps. "Let that woman take

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   Reject Me Properly

    [Nol’s POV]Pain radiates in my chest as Eliana begins to walk away from me, and before I know what I’m doing, I’m grabbing her and throwing her down on the bed so I can pin her beneath me."Nol!" She gasps, looking up at me with wide eyes. "What are you doing?""Do it properly," I hiss, feeling my chest grow tighter. "If you’re going to do it, then do it properly!""I don’t know what you mean!" She responds, looking towards the still-open door. "Don’t do something you’ll regret."Something I’d regret? The only fucking thing I regretted was ever coming across this tiny woman beneath me. Since her arrival, my whole fucking world has been turned upside down, and I can’t seem to right it again!At first, I thought it was simply because I felt sorry for her because I caused her to become a murder suspect, but with each passing day, I found that wasn’t the case at all.Then I started to feel it—that damned pull toward her that could only come from the mate bond—but I felt it too damn late.

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   Her Vulnerability

    [Zane’s POV]I stare at Nol in disbelief, taking in his defeated form. It was shocking to see such an arrogant and powerful man like that, and all because of a woman. Did he truly care for Eliana that much? I didn’t know, and I didn’t want to think about it."Are you really asking me to comfort her?" I ask slowly, expecting all of this to be some type of trick. "Are you even thinking correctly?""Go!" Nol snarls, "NOW!"He didn’t have to tell me again. Giving him one more look, I began to move, making my way toward the room I knew she was sharing with Alexandria.When I arrive, I only get the chance to knock once before the door opens and Alexandria’s annoyed gaze meets mine."Of course it’s you," she huffs. "You’re really pathetic; did you know that?""Not now," I snap, looking over her shoulder to find Eliana’s hunched form sitting by the window staring out. "Did you say anything?""No," Alexandria responds, shooting her a look. "She just came in looking like her puppy died and then

    Flames surround me, but for some reason they don’t burn. I don’t quite understand why I’m here, but I feel something beckoning me, drawing me further and further in until I see him.He sits on a throne made of skulls and stares down at me with a look of boredom. He’s so familiar but so different at the same time.Unable to quite believe what I’m seeing, I move slightly closer, only to find that a strong force doesn’t allow me to go near him."Zane?" I whisper, trying to make sense of what is happening. "That’s you, isn’t it?"It had already been two years since his disappearance, but I never truly accepted that he was gone. I mean, how could he be when there wasn’t even a body to bury? Or any sort of feeling toward his existence vanishing from this world—wouldn't I be able to feel it given the fact he wore my mark?This was why I held onto hope no matter the amount of time that passed, even when others continuously told me to let go. And now here he was in front of me, but where exactl

    [Eliana’s POV]Warm sun beats down on my skin while I lounge by the pool, watching Nol wade on the steps with Ryker. Never in my life did I ever think I would see such a strong and arrogant man act like a child, but here he was splashing and laughing along with our son.Since Ryker’s birth, I have been seeing many sides of Nol that I didn’t think would exist, like him changing diapers, making bottles, and even cuddling while Ryker was sick. I even caught him singing to him a few times, but he insisted that he wasn’t.To say that life was perfect was a bit extreme, but it was damn near close. There was only one thing missing, and that was Zane.Two years had passed since his disappearance, and despite multiple searches, contacting a medium, and even asking rogue mages for help, no one was able to locate him. It was almost as though he disappeared entirely, but Nol was certain that wasn’t possible since he was aware of the consequences of bringing the hellhounds to this earth.Sighing,

    [Nol’s POV]I don’t know how long Eliana sobbed on me while I helplessly watched because I knew that there was nothing that I could do since there was no bringing Zane back. Beside us, Alexandria continued to fight Blaine until she became so exhausted that all she could do was cling to him while her gaze stayed fixed on the rubble.By the time the police arrived, there was nothing left to be found, but Alexandria’s friends had managed to bring them the evidence needed to prove not only Alexandria’s innocence but that of all of us.In the end, all the blame fell on Jeckel since he was already accused of being part of a human trafficking ring. It didn’t take long for the rest of his corruption and misdeeds to be found and his name to be tarnished.Afterward, we waited to see if any remains could be found, but all that were deceased were too burned to make out and would simply be thrown in a mass grave for Disastria and Romando to be mourned by those who were oblivious to all that both a

    [Zane’s POV]A howl of disappointment escapes me as I attempt to make my way to the window where Eliana and the others disappeared."No you fucking don’t!" Nol snarls, beginning to shift into his lycan form. "If you want to kill someone, then you’ll have to get through me."Snapping my gaze from the window, I feel my body beginning to move again, making its way to the very weak-looking lycan behind me.‘That’s it,’ Nol’s voice announces in my head. ‘Come get me.’As I move, he rushes forward, meeting me halfway and throwing me against a wall before jumping on me and wrapping a hand around my throat.‘Snap out of it, Zane,’ he hisses in my head. ‘Before you do something you regret.’‘I…’ I try, hoping he can hear me. ‘Can’t. Please kill me.’That was the only thing that was going to end this—my death—and I was more than willing to accept it.‘I won’t,’ Nol responds, loosening his hold. ‘If you die, Eliana will be sad.’Eliana… Of course, the only thing he cares about is her, and I can’

Jeckel… He…In that moment, something in me snaps, and I feel a red-hot rage begin to bubble up in me and explode as I kneel and pull Eliana into my arms to take in her ragged breathing and her white complexion.Lifting my gaze, I take in Jeckel, who stands in place looking proud of what he did.‘You,’ I hiss through mindlink, beginning to see red. ‘You…’"I did what was necessary for you to rise to greatness," he shrugs unphased. "She was nothing more than a hindrance, driving a wedge between you and your brother."A wedge… A hindrance… If anyone was any of that, it was the bastard in front of me!Letting out a s

Each time I thought maybe I was regaining control again, my body would act on its own, and I was left to helplessly watch.Even back in the hospital with Eliana, my claws were laced with poison, and I was the one who reduced her to what she was.As this thought hits me, my gaze drifts to where she lies on the ground, surrounded by shadowy wolves with glowing red eyes. It was clear they were protecting her, which was good, but the need to kill her still spurred me to move."Sorry, we’re late."The voice reaches me, and I find myself hopeful that this will be the end and I will be free, but the desperate need to kill continues to hold me.Releasing Alexandria, I shift and barrel into the wolves, ignoring their teeth and claws that attack my skin, threatening to shred me while Nol and the others

For now, I just needed to cooperate with whatever went down.With this thought in mind, I let myself be pushed into a room where two women wait to do my hair and makeup while I fix my gaze on the puffy white dress that sits against the wall.In the past, I always dreamed of my perfect wedding dress, but when I lost Jeremiah, I never gave it much thought. Even knowing that there was a possibility I would marry Zane, I never thought about a dress or a big wedding.Feeling my heart tug, I tear my gaze away as guilt toward Jeremiah begins to slam into me.Fuck, now wasn’t the time to be feeling this, not when I knew that this wedding wouldn’t happen, but now that

While Eliana and Alexandria are placed in one beside us.Since seeing her mother and father’s heads on a platter, the usually loud she-wolf hadn’t spoken a word, but by the darkness I see in her eyes, I know that she is silently plotting Jeckel’s death."Hey," I call, trying to draw her attention. "You!"As I speak, the two men in the cell across from mine begin to groan. Tearing my gaze from Alexandria, I take them in and try to determine exactly what the relationship between them and Alexandria was to the point where she would go along with Jeckel’s scheme for them.Sighing in frustration, I turn my attention back to Blaine and watch as he begins to twitch."You finally waking up?" I ask, wishing I could knock him across the head for getting as hurt as he was. "It’s about damn time.""Fuck," he hisses, slowly sitting up only to stop as the chains on his wrists pull agains
