[Zane’s POV]

"Forget?" I growl, trying to ignore the fiery pain that is beginning to form in my chest. "How could you ask me to forget?"

"Because it is less painful for you that way."

Each word that leaves Eliana’s lips is like a stab to the heart. After all the years we spent together, all the promises we made, and everything we went through, how could she possibly act so cold and indifferent? This wasn’t the Little Lana I knew.

"What happened to you?" I murmur, refusing to accept the reality laid out before me. "Why are you being like this?"

"Because this was me all along."

With a sad smile, she pulls her hands free of mine and takes a few steps back. Once she is out of reach, she gives a slight bow.

"I thank you for all your support back then; you truly were my light," she begins, preparing for the final blow. "But I think we both know now that our foolish delusions of a happy ending or a different life were nothing more than the ridiculous beliefs of two young people who didn’t kn

    [Alexandria’s POV]"Whatever you’re planning," Zane growls as I watch Rosemary head in the direction Eliana went. "Don’t.""I don’t know what you mean."I remain calm as his dark eyes examine my face as if he is searching for what I’m supposed to be planning, according to him."You’re too paranoid," I giggle, gently touching his arm. "Not everyone is plotting against you."A low growl escapes his lips as he yanks his body out of my reach while narrowing his gaze. From the way he is acting, you would think that I had pinched him or something."I’m hurt," I pout, though I’m actually pretty amused by how on guard he is with me. It made picking on him that much more enjoyable. "Soon we will be husband and wife. When will you finally let that guard down?"As I speak, I plop down on a chair and cross one leg over the other. Flicking my long blonde hair behind my shoulder, I stare up at Zane."Would you care for a drink before you go?"In a way, I felt bad for the big guy. Anytime he was bro

    [Eliana’s POV]"Where the hell have you been?"Trent’s voice is loud, drawing the attention of those closest to him, and full of rage. I guess my allowing him alone time with his lovers wasn’t enough for him, unless, of course, he would have had more fun speaking to them with me by his side.Letting out a sigh, I take in those who are now watching eagerly in hopes of seeing a good show."Would you like to do this here?"For a moment, Trent seems taken aback by my words, but when he finally seems to snap out of his angry haze, he begins to evaluate the situation."Shall we go somewhere a bit more private?"Private, that meant that there wouldn’t be a lot of talking. Honestly, no, I didn’t want to go somewhere private, but I couldn’t refuse him here either. I knew that being refused and not having control were two of his biggest triggers, and I didn’t want to find myself being beaten for all to see.Not speaking, Trent reaches out and grabs my wrist. His grip is so tight that I’m sure h

    [Eliana’s POV]I fight against the large lycan, trying my damndest to knock him off, but he doesn’t seem to budge. At least until he seems to regain just enough consciousness to shift back into his human form.Eyes widening, I try to ignore the fact that there is a large, completely naked man laying on top of me, dripping with blood from multiple gunshot wounds on his back."Hey!" I try again, hoping that I can rouse him. "You can’t stay here, otherwise..."As if to help me make my point, the sound of sirens in the distance reached my ears. Dammit, we need to get out of here!"Come on, big guy," I huff, pressing my hands against his broad chest. "Get up.""Mmmm."Feeling a slight sense of relief, I wait as the man slowly lifts himself up until his silver eyes stare down into mine. From the confusion in them, it is clear that he doesn’t quite understand what is happening."Wah?" he grunts before hissing in pain. "What the hell? What did you do to me?""Me?" I gasp, my eyes growing wide

    [Nol’s POV]The woman doesn’t speak as she begins to work toward removing the bullets that are lodged deep beneath my skin. To say that it hurt like hell was an understatement, but if I actually wanted any chance to survive, this needed to happen."Are you about done?" I ask when what feels like an hour has passed. "It shouldn’t…""You’ve asked me to basically perform surgery on you because you’re too stubborn to go to the hospital," she snaps, cutting me off. "If you’ve got an issue with how long it is taking, then you’re more than welcome to finish this yourself."Her words are harsh, but the hands that gently work the tweezers in and out of my wounds are gentle. I had to admit that this woman was piquing my interest with each passing minute."Do you think I’m a contortionist?" I chuckle, immediately regretting it as pain shoots through me. "Unfortunately, my arms don’t twist that way.""Then don’t question me about how long this should take," she sighs.Growing quiet, I close my ey

    [Eliana’s POV]Nol’s hand, which reaches out and clasps mine, is huge. I know that I had already realized it earlier on, but he truly was quite a large man. Was he this big because he was a lycan, or was it simply genetics? I didn’t know, and I wasn’t even sure if asking would be appropriate."Now that we’ve properly introduced ourselves, allow me to make that phone call.""Sure," I nodded. "Would it be okay if I took a quick shower?"Now that things were settling down, I was getting nauseous from the scent of blood that clung to my clothes, skin, and hair. It was digging up memories from that time two years ago, and I didn’t feel like reliving that nightmare."Sure," Nol responds, eyeing me curiously. "Has anyone ever told you that you’re too calm in situations that could be dangerous?""No," I smirk. "But I guess that is just the way someone who doesn’t have anything to live for reacts."Once again, his eyes take me in, this time more intensely, as if maybe he could figure me out if

    [Nol's POV]"So, you're telling me that you were seen while on a mission, and she saw you.""More or less." I sigh, not liking the gleam of amusement I see in Jules' eyes.I had just spent the last hour explaining to her exactly why Eliana would be staying with me, and no matter how many times I tried to make it clear that this was strictly platonic, she wouldn't buy it."You know," Jules giggles, wiggling her brows. "Despite what you've said, I just can't see you being so sloppy."Flinching, I found that I couldn't argue with her there. It was sloppy of me to not realize that Trent wasn't alone. However, it was weird that I didn't notice her scent. Even now, I find that it is almost nonexistent."Wouldn't it just be better to be completely honest with your old friend?" Jules sighs, leaning back in her seat. "It isn't like I'm going to go blab to..."Before she can finish, I shoot forward and cover her mouth before anything else can spew out of it.Realizing how bad this looks, I give

Panic begins to build as my eyes fly open and I take in the room around me."Right," I huff, beginning to calm down.Every morning, it was the same. Confusion and panic before I remember exactly where it is that I am."Did you sleep well, honey?"Frowning, I turn my head and watch as Alexandria makes her way toward me while swinging a set of keys around her finger. A bright smile rests on her face as she stops beside me."Well?" She pushes when I remain silent. "Oh, come now," she continues, pouting. "Does it really pain you that much to see me? Were you expecting someone else?""Actually, yes, I was. Where is Andre?"Usually Andre was the one waiting for me when I woke up.

    [Alexandria's POV]I feel a sweet sense of satisfaction rush through me as Zane opens the envelope I handed him and pulls out its contents. Thanks to a friend and a bit of photo editing, I managed to create some beautiful pieces of his precious little Lana.Smirking, I cross my arms and wait as he stares in disbelief at each and every photo he flips through. However, the first few were just the icing on the cake. The final few would nicely deal the blow that should eliminate that nuisance from his mind.When he finally comes across it, I feel his alpha aura slam into me as his hands clench and unclench in an attempt to remain calm."Well?" I ask, growing bored of the silence. "Will you agree to my terms now?"If he still wanted to try to chase that woman after seeing her with another man, then he was crazy. Although the first few photos had been faked, the last few were as real as they got. My dear cousin, rest his soul, had made sure of that."Where," Zane growls, not bothering to an

    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
