[Eliana’s POV]

I watch as Blaine continues to not move. What the hell was he planning? Was this a trick to get me to let my guard down?

"Release me!" he repeats, letting his aura slam into me, threatening to knock me over. "Right this instant!"

Opening my mouth, I prepare to argue his demand but stop as pain shoots through the back of my neck. Gasping, I lift a hand to find a small dart sticking from my skin right before the world around me begins to spin, and then I’m collapsing against the deck.

I don’t know how long the world fades in and out before finally my vision begins to clear so that I find I’m staring at a large chandelier.

Gasping, I sit up and begin to look around me, taking in the extravagantly decorated room around me.

"Dammit," I hiss.

I jump out of the bed that I’m sitting in and surge forward toward the door that I have a feeling is locked. Despite knowing that there was no way Blaine would leave it open for me to escape, I reach out and grab the handle, then attempt

    [Zane’s POV]Rick’s smile and look of sincerity never falter, and I find myself wishing I could read his mind. My feeling of unease was just growing more and more, but I couldn’t openly accuse.Since speaking with Nol, I have been suspicious of everyone around me. Who was really on my side or who was doing shady shit behind my back? It was like I was a double agent pretending amongst the enemy."What brings you here, Rick?" my father asks, breaking the silence. "I thought you were busy today.""I actually came to announce some great news," Rick beams. "I’m going to be a father again!"Shock rolls through me as Rick’s words settle around us. A father, again, and here I thought it was impossible for any of his mistresses to get pregnant."Whose the lucky lady?" My father pushes. "Is it Diana?" he continues, naming Alexandria’s mother."There’s no way that I would think of touching that woman," Rick growls, his mood faltering for a moment. "It’s Marybeth!""Oh, she’ll make a great mother

    [Nol’s POV]Eliana’s eyes stay unapologetically locked on mine as she waits for me to answer her question. Instantly, I feel like lying to test her, but I know that won’t get us anywhere in this situation."He’s fine," I respond, as a huff of annoyance escapes Blaine. "Now can I come in?"As I speak, I look around out of habit, expecting someone to be nearby spying, until I remember that this isn’t Jeckel’s territory. If anywhere was safe from his prying eyes, it was here."How can I be sure that you’re telling the truth?" Eliana pushes, narrowing her gaze."What would you like me to do to show you that I’m not lying?" I ask."You don’t owe her anything," Blaine points out."It’s fine," I say, shooting him a look. "She has no reason to trust me."For a moment, Blaine doesn’t speak as he examines me. From the look in his eyes, I know that he can’t quite believe what I’m saying—hell, that made two of us. I have learned since meeting Eliana that I am doing a lot of things that I never ex

    [Nol’s POV]I shake off the shock that envelopes me while keeping my gaze fixed on Eliana’s enraged face. I wasn’t sure exactly what to do in this situation since I was used to not giving a shit about other people’s emotions, but she was different."I should have known," she continues, talking more to herself than me. "He was so insistent on getting close to me."He… She was referring to Zane.I didn’t know anything about their past or how they got close, but I found myself wanting to know more."Are you saying you think he did it to help his father take down your pack?" I find myself asking. "Do you really think he is that type of person?"I knew that I had approached him in hopes of having him take down his father, but what if he really couldn’t be trusted?Fuck, it would be easy to just kill them all, but given their popularity amongst our kind, I couldn’t just do that. I needed to make them crash and burn so that everyone could see their true colors."I don’t know," Eliana admits.

    [Alexandria’s POV]"No, father, please!" I beg as I’m drug downstairs toward the maximum penalty cell. "You know it wasn’t me!"Since learning that I was the one to take the blame for what happened at mine and Zane’s engagement ceremony, I have tried everything to convince my father to spare me. But nothing I said worked."Just do as you’re told, Alexandria," my father huffs. "This is for the sake of everyone involved.""EXCEPT ME!" I wail.I had gone through a lot because of him throughout the years. And despite all the abuse I endured—all the sucking up, all the being obedient—he was throwing me away the minute he was given a proper heir."WAS I ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOU?" I continue, tears beginning to fill my eyes. "JUST ANOTHER TOOL LIKE MOTHER!""Don’t mention her!" My father growls, throwing me down the remaining stairs.A hiss of pain escapes me as I slam into the ground head-first, causing my ears to ring and black spots to dance in front of my eyes."Of course!" I laugh, una

    [Zane’s POV]I wait as Alexandria considers my words. I could only hope that she would be willing to go along with what I was going to suggest, but since Nol was the one who put her here and he and Eliana were essentially together for whatever reason, she was likely to decline."What are you trying to say?" she asks slowly. "Are you saying that you’re going to take out my father?""That’s right," I confirm. "And my own, as a matter of fact. Alexandria, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes that we haven’t been aware of. I fear if we continue to allow it to happen, it will cost us both our lives."For a moment, she doesn’t speak, and when her mouth opens, loud laughter escapes it."You poor naive boy," she manages between guffaws. "You’ve been so fucking sheltered and are just now realizing what was happening? Why do you think I’m here? I’m no longer useful, so I’ve already been thrown away, and soon enough, you will be too.""That’s why we need to be proactive," I counter. "

    TRIGGER WARNING: The following chapter may contain scenes that are a bit too much for some readers. Read at your own discretion.[Eliana’s POV]I lay in bed, listening quietly to the conversation that Nol was having in the opposite room. It isn’t hard to figure out who it is that he’s speaking to, and with each mention of another woman, I feel my heart grow colder and colder.It was becoming increasingly clear with each passing day that Zane was never truly as serious as he claimed to be, and yet I still couldn’t quite accept it.Sighing, I sit up and get out of bed, then make my way out of my room and toward the kitchen. I hadn’t been very hungry during dinner, but now I was sure I could eat something.When I reach my destination, I begin to rummage through the cabinets until I find some noodles. Pulling it out, I grab a pot and fill it with water, then put it on the stove. Once the water begins to boil, I put in the noodles and then lean against the counter to begin waiting for them

  • The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast   Help Him

    [Nol's POV]Irritation rushes through me as I have to take in the love and adoration that flash in Eliana's eyes. It was clear that she truly cared for Zane, and that pissed me off beyond belief."Help him," she says quietly, her expression shifting to one of pleading. "With whatever it is that he needs.""Even if it means that he can freely be with another woman?" I challenge. "Is that what you truly want?""It is," she confirms. "Love isn't about being selfish; it's about wanting the one you care the most about to be happy. If she makes him happy, then that's that.""And what do I get in return for helping him?" I push."My forgiveness."Those words are heavy, so fucking heavy. But in the end, it wasn't her forgiveness that I wanted. It was my own fault for what I had done to her."I'll think about it," I announce, beginning to make my way out of the kitchen.In the end, Eliana doesn't say anything more, but as I move, I can feel her pleading gaze burning into my back. And as I lay

By the time it all ends, we are back in the States and back to our original location. My plan was simple: throw him off and then stick close to home. It was the last place that seemed logical to be, and that was what I was aiming for.When we land, there is a car waiting for us to take us to our next destination, where a certain someone will be waiting. As much as I didn’t want to have him anywhere near Eliana, he was on our side and needed to be present for planning our next move against Jeckel.Unable to hide my annoyance over the matter, I give Eliana a look to find that she is looking pale."What’s wrong?" I ask, eyeing her as if I could see what was going on inside her. "Are you not feeling well?""That’s right," she confirms. "I’m feeling a little nauseous.""Could it be morning sickness kicking in?" Blaine suggests, causing Eliana’s face to pale even more. "I think

    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

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
