2023-09-01 23:45:48Flames 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 exactly was he?
"Zane?" I repeat, attempting to reach out only to stop as what feels almost like an electrical current rushes through me. "Why?"
He doesn’t respond as he continues to examine me, and when the silence becomes too much, a woman, clad in all red with long black hair, strolls forward.
As she moves, her amused red eyes stay locked on me.
"Who are you?" I hiss, keeping my gaze locked on her until she was standing behind Zane. "Get away from him!"
"Who are you to tell me what I can or can’t do with my king?"
To make a point, the woman runs her hands along Zane’s chest, dipping them beneath the black shirt he wears so that they can rub along his skin. And as I stand here watching, a look of pleasure crosses Zane’s face, and his eyes roll into the back of his head before his head is tilting back and her lips are pressing against his.
"Zane!" I snarl, realizing that she had to have some sort of control over him. "How could you…"
I don’t get to finish the rest of my words before I’m shooting up in bed, finding that I’m alone, and what I just witnessed was nothing more than a dream. The same damn dream that had been haunting me since Zane’s disappearance.
It was driving me mad, but anytime I tried to tell the giant or even that cold-faced Blaine that I felt it was Zane trying to contact me, they wouldn’t listen.
However, this was the first time that woman appeared. Did that mean that she was attempting to interfere in Zane’s attempt to let me know that he was alive and needed help?
I didn’t know, but I was going to find out.

The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast Meeting Again
[Eliana’s POV]I stare at the woman who is staring back at me. I barely recognize her and find myself wondering if she truly is me. Her hollow eyes hold no emotion, nor does her perfectly painted face. Her lips, which should be turned up in a smile given how important a day it was, sit in a thin line, and her posture is almost similar to that of a mannequin.Letting out a laugh of disgust, I realize that, in a way, I am a mannequin. I am a thing to be done with as anyone pleases. I had no right to want to even attempt to do anything for myself any longer anyway; Trent made sure of that long ago."What do you think, madam?" Gretchen, my personal maid, asks, "Do you like it?"For a moment, I examine myself once more taking in the woman that I had become after all these years. Feeling hollow, I force a smile and turn to meet Gretchen's gaze."You’ve done a wonderful job, Gretchen," I respond. "Shall we get going? The ceremony should be starting soon.""Of course, madam," Gretchen beams.

[Eliana’s POV]A soft breeze blows, causing the daffodils that surround me to tickle my skin as I stare off in the distance, waiting for the familiar figure that I have come to hold dear. He promised to come no matter what today since it was my birthday, but so far there hasn’t been an appearance.My birthday… Ha, this was the first time I had ever actually been the slightest bit excited about celebrating it, and it only took me sixteen years to get here.Since a long time ago, I had deemed the day I was born as the day that my misfortune had begun. Born to a bloodthirsty tyrant and a whore, I was considered a disgrace and a reminder of infidelity that I had no choice in.Maybe if my father hadn’t been so desperate to fuck any woman that showed him even the slightest bit of interest, I wouldn’t have been brought into the cold palace to be used as a pawn to unite the packs of Elgin and Brawn.Shivering, I try to forget the cold eyes of Trent Dupris, the future alpha of Brawn. He was a

[Eliana’s POV]Later that evening, I lay in bed, staring at the golden chain that rested against my skin. I still couldn’t believe the events that took place earlier in the day. Despite hoping that Zane shared the same feelings as me, I held no hope that it would be true.Beaming, I touch my lips as images of that kiss begin to play across my mind."Oh gosh," I whisper, covering my face. "I’m sure I’m a blushing fool."Letting out a sigh, I allow myself to have hopes for the future where I never would have even thought of doing so. Since being brought to Elgin after my mother’s death, my whole life has been planned out for me. But now, for the first time in sixteen years, I felt like maybe there would be a light at the end of my dark tunnel."Zane," I sigh, sitting up and making my way toward the tiny, barred window that was my only view of the outside world. "Please don’t make me wait too long."As the words leave my lips, I stare down at the ground below to find that something is of

[Eliana’s POV] "Oh, she looks so much better cleaned up," Madam Ophilia announces. "You’ll most certainly earn me quite a bit. Tell me, girl, how old are you?" After being washed from top to bottom, I was sent off to Tumescere House, where Madam Ophilia and her henchmen were waiting to prepare me to become nothing more than a breeder. It was amazing how no matter where I seemed to end up, the final result was always the same… I was simply meant to help some men procreate. I don’t respond as she waits patiently for me. Why would I? What was the worst that she could do? Beat me? I was already used to that. Would she kill me? Great, that was even better than being made into a thing to be used to create life with. I wasn’t afraid of whatever it was that she would throw at me. "Madam Ophilia asked you a question, bitch!" My captor growled, grabbing my hair and tugging. "You’d be wise to answer her." "Fuck you!" I growl, earning myself a slap that sends me crashing to the ground right

[Zane’s POV]I didn’t want to come to this damn wedding, especially knowing that the bride-groom would be Trent. For weeks, I argued with my father about it, but in the end, here I was sitting in the crowd, staring up at Trent’s smug face.Since I was young, I had always been compared to this bastard and told that I needed to be more like him because, according to my father, I was too soft, too dumb, and just not on par with the great alpha of Brawn. Maybe it was because of this deep-rooted hatred that I wanted to do something to one-up Trent. Maybe that was the reason I approached her from the start.At first, I was simply curious about the young woman that would end up being his luna. I wanted to see if she was just as outstanding as him. Imagine my surprise when I found that young girl curled up crying underneath a tree that rainy day. She was absolutely nothing like I expected, and that, well, at first, was disappointing.She was mediocre in looks at best; at least that was what

[Eliana’s POV]"Do you, Eliana Wright, take Trent Dupris to be your lawful wedded husband…"I zone in and out as the priest repeats the necessary vows to bind Trent and I as husband and wife. This was all just for show in the end, and I was just ready for it to end."....To have and to hold, in sickness or in health, till death do you part…""I do," I murmur, keeping my gaze fixed on Trent’s despite everything in me screaming no."And do you, Trent…"Zoning out again, I wait until Trent’s turn to speak. Once that’s finished, we exchange rings, and before I can stop it, Trent is kissing me for all to see.When it ends, I have to fight the urge to gag; after all, I’m supposed to be playing the part of the perfect bride, and if I were to show my complete and utter disdain for even being kissed by Trent, I’d ruin that show."Try running away now," Trent whispers as we turn to face the congregation that is now standing and applauding. "I’ll hunt you down and kill you.""I haven’t thought o

[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

The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast Epilogue: A Proposal
[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,
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast The Aftermath
[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
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast Brother Vs Brother
[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’
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast Up In Flames
[Nol’s POV]The world around me begins to move in slow motion as I release Zane and rush toward where Jeckel stands with Eliana in his clutches, but before I can reach her, her eyes are widening and blood is erupting from her lips, and then she is being dropped so that I can take in the hilt of a knife that is sticking out of her back.No… This couldn’t be fucking happening. 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
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast Trapped In His Mind
[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
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast A Bloody Wedding
[Alexandria’s POV]The next morning comes too damn quick, and before I even manage to fully wake up, I’m being yanked out of my cell and dragged down a long hall while I ignore everything in me that screams to fight.There was a plan in place, and I had to trust that the plan would work out and all of this would finally be over. 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
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast Come Up With A Plan
[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
The Breeder And Her Lycan Beast A Family Meeting
[Nol’s POV]Pain radiates through me as my vision finally begins to come back, so that I find myself sitting at a large table. Anger rolling over being tricked, I attempt to move only to find that I’m bound by spiked metal that tears into my skin with each movement.Cursing, I continue to take in the area until my eyes come to rest on an unconscious Eliana and a fighting Alexandria."What the hell?" I growl, beginning to fight even more, only to find that the fucking chains won’t budge. "What the hell is going on here?""About time you woke up, giant!" Alexandria huffs. "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. Confusion building, I take in Zane, whose face
