[Zane’s POV]

I wait as Alexandria processes what I’m saying and then fights the urge to explode. I had to admit, I was surprised she was actually trying to control herself, but when a slow smile spreads across her face and she cuddles closer to me, I realize that I’ve managed to play into whatever game it is that she’s playing.

"Aw," she murmurs. "You’re worried about me."

Shit, I walked right into this, and now I couldn’t turn around and deny it.

"So that means you’ll stay, right?"

"Alright," she beams. "If it’s what my honey wants."

Frowning, I fight the urge to argue with her, and she continues to keep her gaze fixed on me.

"Then it’s settled," Blaine announces, getting up and rolling up the blueprints he was sharing. "I suggest everyone sleep early as we will be implementing our plan tomorrow. The sooner this minor mission is done, the sooner we can focus on the bigger issue at hand."

"Sounds good to me," Alexandria agrees, beginning to get up while still clinging to me. "Come alo

    [Eliana’s POV]I stare into Zane’s eyes while fighting the urge to attack again. Who the hell was he to think that he could just force himself on me like that?"Eliana, I…""Don’t," I hiss, feeling my heart squeeze painfully from the sorrow on his face. "Just don’t."Unable to look at him any longer, I head back inside to find that only Blaine is left in the living room."If you’re looking for Nol, he already went to bed," he announces when he spots me looking around."Thanks," I murmur, beginning to move again.I didn’t understand why, but I suddenly wanted to see him and feel his arms around me so that the raging emotions in me would calm down. When I reach my destination, I lift a hesitant hand and then debate whether or not I should actually bother him.The relationship between the two of us was still pretty fragile, and where we both stood wasn’t certain.‘You’re fuck buddies,’ the voice in my head announces, causing more pain to shoot through me, but I found that I couldn’t den

    [Eliana’s POV]When I wake up the next morning, the bed is already empty, and the only proof that Nol was with me are the marks on my skin and the tingle of pain between my thighs from his aggressive fucking.Sighing, I get up and give a stretch before changing into a shirt and some pants, then make my way downstairs as my stomach demands some sort of sustenance after all the exercise I did the night before.As I reach the bottom of the stairs, the smell of bacon and eggs reaches my nose, causing my stomach to growl even louder.Frowning, I slowly move until I can peek into the kitchen and find Alexandria standing at the stove cooking. I had to admit, I didn’t think a pampered princess like her could cook, but I guess I was wrong."Are you just going to stand and stare?" She calls, not bothering to turn and look at me. "If not, then come in, but don’t expect me to share my breakfast," she continues, placing a fried egg and some bacon on the plate beside her. "You’re turn."Nodding, I

    [Zane’s POV]"Just up ahead," Nol announces as we move down the tunnel that seems to go on forever. "This will be where we part ways," he continues, shooting me a look. "From this point on, you’re on your own.""Got it," I nod.We had already parted ways with Blaine so that he could go through the hospital records where Nol and I were born. And since the atmosphere between Nol and I had been extremely uncomfortable, I was sure I knew why.After landing one hell of a blow to my dick the night before, Eliana had disappeared, and despite wanting to claim it wasn’t true, I knew that she went straight to Nol."Try not to get yourself into any trouble," Nol continues, snapping me out of my head. "Because if you do manage to run into your father’s men, I won’t be coming to save your ass.""Noted," I huff, not missing the hostility in his voice. "Then I’ll…" I begin, but stop as I feel Alexandria’s fear and desperation slam into me.‘Zane!’ she wails, filling my head with images of multiple m

    TRIGGER WARNING: The following chapter may contain content that isn’t suitable for some readers. Reader discretion is advised.[Eliana’s POV]I wake to find that I’m in a small cage with men standing around me with paddles in their hands. My body is exposed due to everything but my bra and underwear being removed, and a huge mask covers my face.However, despite that, their men’s eyes take me in with a hunger that screams they want to destroy me.Shivering, I attempt to move, only to find that my hands and feet are tied."Shit," I hiss, beginning to struggle against my bindings. "Where the hell is this?""Oh, you’re awake."A chill races down my spine as the voice that I recognize too well reaches my ears. Trying to calm my heart, I turn and take in the face of Zane’s father as he beams at me from just outside the bars of my cage."You," I growl, narrowing my gaze. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?""Eliminating a nuisance," he responds easily. "It seems that you’re harder to

    [Zane’s POV]"I know where Eliana is!"Nol’s voice echoes around us, startling the shit out of me as he pushes the gas to the floor, sending us surging forward."Where?" I ask, feeling my hope rise. "Is it far?""No," he responds immediately. "We’ll be there soon."Nodding, I don’t ask any further questions as we speed through the streets, swerving in and out of traffic and barely avoiding hitting pedestrians.When we reach our destination, he slams the brakes and throws the car in park before barging out and making his way toward a building that looks like a theater with its flashing lights and sign marquee that reads ‘auction in progress.’"An auction house?" I hiss, feeling my heart do a flip.Fuck, what in the hell was my father up to right now?"Don’t just stand there!" Nol roars, beginning to rush forward while pulling a gun from his hip. "This is going to end here!"Nodding, I begin to move, following closely behind as he kicks in the glass door to the building and rushes insid

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   Her Forgiveness

    [Nol’s POV]I stare down at Eliana as she bites at her lip, trying desperately to stay in the present, as if she thinks she is still with that bastard Jeckel."Don’t worry," I murmur, gently sliding my finger in her mouth so her teeth bite against my own skin. "You’re safe."If it weren’t for the fact that she was so bad off, I would have stayed and burned that whole fucking place down, then turned the underworld upside down to find the bastard that put her in this condition, but the only thing I could focus on was helping Eliana however I could.Back there, I could see the war that was taking place in Zane as he handed her over to me. In that moment, he made it clear that he was giving up, and in a way, I almost felt bad for the bastard because I knew how fucking painful the rejection that was to come would be. I could only hope that one day he would find someone who would make the sting go away."Nol!" Eliana whimpers, clinging tighter to me. "Please make it stop.""Make what stop,

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   I'm Leaving

    [Alexandria’s POV]I remain by Zane’s side until he finally wakes, and then I feel my resolve begin to build."Alexandria?" He grunts, slowly sitting up. "Why?""I figured that my presence would just piss everyone off," I announce, though my real reason was fear of Blaine attempting to kill me again. "How are you feeling?""I’ve been better," he admits, smirking. "How’s Eliana? Is she alright now?"Of course, his first thought when waking up would be of her, but it still stung just a bit that no one gave a damn about me or how I was after being attacked. Granted, I wasn’t the one that was kidnapped, but it would still be nice to know that someone was on my side."I’m sure she’s fine," I huff, narrowing my gaze. "She’s with the giant."At my words, pain flashes in Zanes eyes, but he quickly hides it before I can say anything. "Did something happen?" I ask, realizing that he seemed a bit off. "Better yet, what exactly happened back there to exhaust you so much you’d sleep for an entire

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   Her Insecurities

    [Zane’s POV]My eyes grew wide as Alexandria’s declaration and question hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew that she was bold, but to be that bold when she was a wanted woman was..."You know as well as I do that that isn’t possible," I respond slowly. "We’re both wanted and...""And I don’t care," Alexandria counters. "Once our fathers have been handled by the giant, that won’t be an issue, correct? So things will eventually settle, and when that happens, we can come back and resume our lives."Resume our lives. She made it sound so simple when it wasn’t. Too much had happened in the past few weeks, and there was still so much more that was to come our way; there was no going back to how things were."I…" I begin, looking to Eliana, who is quietly watching, and try to see what she thinks of this, but her expression remains neutral, further confirming that there is no place for me in her heart anymore. "Can’t just leave."There was too much riding on all of this, and I couldn’t just l

    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

    [Zane’s POV]Stop.Stop this!You’ve gotta stop!These thoughts echo in my mind as I stare at Alexandria’s flushed face and desperate eyes.I had to stop, but no amount of trying seemed to work. 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

    [Nol’s POV]After Jeckel’s ridiculous dinner, I’m thrown into a cell where Blaine lies motionless on the ground. 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

"We’ve got an issue here.""No shit," I snap, snapping my gaze to Eliana once again.As I take in her pale complexion and slack figure, I realize instantly that something is wrong."Eliana!" I hiss, trying to rouse her. "Open your eyes!""She won’t be waking up."Feeling my heart drop, I tear my gaze away from Eliana to Jeckel and Zane, who are making their way towards us.
