Dawn's POV "Zade!" I yelled, as I wrapped my hands around him. The moment his cold skin came in contact with mine, my eyes went shut as my smile deepened. I was having a really bad day, but seeing him right there, just when I needed him, made me forget all my worries. He pulled me even closer and hugged me, until he suddenly pulled out of it. He had a small smile on his face. Even though it was small, it was genuine. "What are you doing here?" I asked, as he helped me off the floor. He exhaled, and his eyes roamed around. He wasn't satisfied with the condition of my new room, I could tell, but I had no choice. "Um, I came here for business as usual," Zade said, and I quickly nodded, as I understood him completely. For the second time, his eyes roamed around the room, this time his eyes lingered on the details of the room. I rolled my eyes and tried to shake him out of it, by changing the subject. "So, are you going to hang out with me for a while? I have missed
Dawn's POV Ryan's hands were tightly wrapped around Cassidy's neck, as he continued lifting her up. Her hands were properly raised above the ground and her face was slowly turning red. I was satisfied by the fact that she was getting what she deserved, but at the same time, I was scared. "Please, Ryan. Drop her." I pleaded, and he dropped her immediately. I watched as she held her neck, and struggled to balance her breathing. "That will teach you a lesson. Don't ever try what you did today, or you'll regret it!" He said to Cassidy, who was still trying to make sure her neck didn't break. He took a step forward and forced her to look up at him. "Once again, do not ever try to claim me or even Xavier. Leave, now." He ordered. Cassidy struggled to get up from the ground. Her eyes were already filled with tears. As she staggered out of the room, I saw her tears trickle down her face. I sniffled a laugh, and turned to face Ryan. He instantly moved closer to me and his look tur
Dawn's POV With two pairs of burning eyes still fixed on me, I slowly pulled off my panties and let them hit the floor. I watched as their breathings shifted a little, but my lips curled into a small smile. Because of their reactions, I was no longer shy. I was enjoying the moment. "Can you help with this?" I asked Ryan, pointing to my bra. He was at my back in a second and he removed the strap like a pro. I smiled and stretched my hands widely. It seemed they understood what it meant, as they both carried me to the bathroom. It wasn't like the one I had in the main pack house, but it was also big and neat. Zade wrapped his hands around my waist, and the hairs on my body stood and goosebumps filled my skin. I didn't know if that was because of how cold his hands were, or if it was because his fingers were already trailing down my belly to my wetness. I quickly parted my legs for his fingers to slip in easily and they did. They slipped in and out of me at a fast pace, and al
Dawn’s POV "Cassidy-" I started saying, but I stopped when Alpha Xavier walked past me. He stopped just before he got to Cassidy. I quickly moved closer. Her eyes were moist, was she crying? That surprised me a little. Cassidy seemed like one of those people who were incapable of having feelings, talk more of being vulnerable. "How could you do this to me, Xavier? After everything?" She cried, as more tears poured out of her eyes. Alpha Xavier balled his palms into fists, as he gritted his teeth. "Get the fuck out of here, Cassidy. Go back to your room. This is none of your business!" He shouted, frowning. Her eyes quickly left Xavier's, as she glared at me with so much hate in her eyes. I took a step back before Xavier held my hand to stop me. She averted her gaze and looked at the way our hands were linked. Then, she sniffed and wiped her eyes. "Fuck you, Xavier!" Xavier hissed with his teeth and spoke up. "It's Alpha Xavier to you. Now, leave!" I watched as Cassidy
Dawn’s POV With my mouth covering Xavier's dick, I sucked on it and straightened my back before I started bobbing my head on it. Xavier's grip around my hair tightened as he started moving my head for me. He increased the speed of his hand, making me gag a little but I kept on going. I suddenly stopped and watched as saliva dropped from my lips and landed on Xavier's length. I raised my brows to look at him, and he had a smirk stretched out on his face. I wiped my face and wrapped my hands around his length, moving them up and down in a fast motion. I moved my knees closer, and sucked the tip a little, still moving my hands on him. As I did that, I felt his toes curl under my knees. I took that as a good sign and continued with the torture. I continued and felt him stiff for a second, before he pushed my head and stepped back. "That's enough," he said and was about to walk away. I was so surprised at how things turned over in a second. "What's wrong? You don't wa
Dawn's POV Alpha Xavier continued torturing me with his tongue, making me feel so good. I tried moving his head away from in between my legs, but he refused until he made my legs shake, licking my cum off. By the time we were done, I was already feeling a bit breathless. I threw my head to the back, catching my breaths. The study was so silent and the only sounds I could hear were my breathing and the constant hammering of my heart against my chest. Slowly, I pushed my body, raising my head. With the way I was surrounded by silence, I had thought that Xavier already left. But there he was, staring at me with so much intensity. I instantly felt naked, even when I wasn't. At least, not fully. I covered my body with my hands and jumped down from the table, making my legs wobble under me for a few seconds. "I... goodnight, alpha," I stuttered and made for the door, but before I could get to it, I felt his hand around my wrist. I looked at him, and gulped. His eyes got even darker
Dawn's POV After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made a decision. I breathed out and walked towards the door. My body shook a little, as I gripped the door knob, opening the door quickly. Just as I had predicted, the maids were all walking up and down the building, doing one thing or the other. I held my breath, as I walked to the hallway and went out through the back door. The guards that were standing there eyed me suspiciously as I ran towards the servants' quarters. When I got to the door, I finally breathed out, thankful that nobody that I cared about saw me. The building was almost empty as most of the maids already went to the main pack house to carry out their chores. I quickly dashed towards my door to get prepared also, before the head of the maids caught me. I entered my room and locked the door after myself, I turned around and the sight that welcomed me scared the living hell out of me. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked Cassidy, who sat
Dawn's POV "Cassidy, who were those men that you were talking to a minute ago?" I asked immediately I got close enough to her. She looked a bit shocked, but shrugged it off like the shock was never there. "What do you mean? I thought I told you not to talk to me." Cassidy said, walking away from me, but I ran after her. "Yes, I know. But I have to know. They...looked dangerous, I hope you're not-" she suddenly stopped and turned to face me with a huge frown on her face. She took a step forward and raised her hand. I wasn't sure if she wanted to hit me, but I didn't wait to confirm, as I held her hand in place. "Don't you ever hold my hand again! And whatever I do in this pack house isn't any of your business, so get that straight!" With that, she left, with her hair bouncing against the wind, as she stomped into the servants' quarters. I stood there for a few minutes because I thought over everything she said. The men she was talking to...I didn't know why I just
Xavier’s POV:Never in my life did I know that there would come a day when I would feel jealousy.Jealousy.It was a foreign word. One that I had only heard people often use but had never felt… and never thought I could, until now.My heart raced as Dawn’s soft moans filtered through the air, and it hurt. It hurt more because all I could do was listen. And I wasn’t the one making her moan so sweetly. It was Zade. I had the option to shut my door tight. I knew I could block out the sound but I didn’t want to. I couldn’t bring myself to. For some reason, I wanted to listen, I wanted to hurt myself and I wanted to know what it felt like to have to share the attention and affection of one’s mate with other people; and now that I have, I have come to decide that it is the worst feeling to ever exist. I squeezed hard on the wine glass in my hand, and when it broke, shattering into a million pieces, I didn’t care. Nothing mattered to me anymore, not even the trail of blood on my injured han
Dawn’s POV:“By the time I am done with you, you’d wish you never asked for it!” Zade snarled and with that, he pushed me off of him with a force that had me stumbling backward. Before I could ask what he meant by that, or why he had pushed me off so aggressively, he fisted one of his hands into my hair, and the other, he used to tug off my towel so forcefully that I had a friction cut from it.“Zade!” I cried, in both shock and pain and I saw his eyes flash again with an emotion, an emotion that I suspected was regret before he moved away from me to pick up my discarded towel.“I’m sorry,” he sighed as he pushed the towel into my hands and stepped away from me, whilst ignoring my eyes and me altogether.I was confused. I didn’t know exactly what he was sorry for... well, besides the fact that he had nearly ripped off a part of my skin. But still, it wasn’t his intention and I wanted it… I asked for this, and if there was anyone to be blamed, then it was supposed to be me. He tried
Dawn’s POV:As soon as my hands connected with Reagan’s face, his eyes flashed. He snarled as he threw his head back and to my horror, his fangs elongated. However, before he could sink it into my throat, I felt something like wind blow past me. It was so fast and so sudden that it had me stumbling back. What surprised me even more was the fact that by the time I regained my composure, I was standing face to face with Zade whose arms were wrapped around Reagan’s neck as he tried to subdue the obviously lesser vampire.“Zade…” I breathed out in relief. “Thank you.”For a minute, I could swear that Zade didn’t hear me. Or if he did, he pretended not to. He ignored me as he looked down at the vampire who was still clutched under his hold and snarled; “Why are you bothering the girl?”“Isn’t she just a human girl, Zade?” Reagan spat back angrily. “I was only prepping her up before I devoured her because as you may know, she’s nothing but food.”Something about his words irritated me to
Dawn’s POV:“Did you find something?” I asked Xavier for the hundredth time today and in turn, he rolled his eyes at me for the hundredth time too before picking up the piece of paper once discarded on his desk.“You know, it’s not that easy to find answers to cases like this. It could take days… weeks even. Moreover, what if you had imagined it all? What if you’d been given wine but you thought it was orange juice?” He snapped back.Something about his words made me insanely pissed but knowing that I couldn’t act on it, I rolled my eyes and snorted as I plopped into the chair beside me. My eyes were fixed on him as I hissed; “Are you saying that you think I was hallucinating?”“Oh yes, I think so!” He snapped back without even doing as much as sparing me a glance. “Because that was obviously red wine.”His words hurt. So much. But I’ll be damned if I said anything about what that young servant had said to me that day. It was our little secret, our little something and in return, I ha
Dawn’s POV:I could hear the hushed mumblings among the crowd as they turned in the direction of the noise- me, but at this point, I didn’t care. I didn’t even care that Ryan was standing beside me, grabbing onto my arm like his life depended on it and muttering something to me, something that I couldn’t quite catch at the moment.All I cared about was the shattered glass on the floor and the fact that I could swear that Cassidy had served me orange juice, but now the liquid painting the beautiful porcelain floor wasn’t orange, it was crimson. I gasped.“Is that… blood?” I asked Ryan who in turn shook his head. “That’s red wine.” He answered softly. He looked almost… stoic and his expression was unreadable. “That’s a wine but you know you can tell me anything right?” He asked and all I could do was give a simple nod of approval.“Why did you let it fall? I know it didn’t slip… you intentionally wanted it to fall.”As I watched him talk, I couldn’t help but think about a thousand thou
Dawn’s POV:I watched Cassidy as she made her way through the crowd of people ever so gracefully, like a queen. It was shocking seeing how she could manage to have her ego untainted even though Ryan had made sure to bruise it.And he did it so badly.Today, we were hosting a party. Scratch that, Alpha Xavier was hosting a party to welcome some ‘Lord’ who wanted to stay a while with us to the pack. And somehow, for some reason best known to Ryan, he had put her in charge of the servants… the waitresses and the ‘meals’ and when I say meals, I mean the humans, the humans who now served as refreshments to the bloodthirsty vampires. Cassidy, clad in nothing but the soft cotton skirt and blouse that was the signature uniform of the ‘slaves’- that was part of the embarrassment that Ryan had put her through- stopped when she saw me. There was a dark look in her eyes, one which managed to send chills down my spine because of how malicious it looked. And then she smiled.“There you are!” She e
Dawn’s POV:As the warm water from the shower faucet cascaded down my body, I stood shakily under it, sighing as most of the pent up anxiety and stress knotted around my shoulders loosened up. I felt relieved, happy even, until I remembered my last conversation with Zade and how Xavier had walked in on us, interrupting us. What was worse was the quiet stare down that had ensued before Xavier politely asked me to excuse them.And now, here I was, bathing away the knots in my hair and the dirt on my skin while I had no freaking idea about what they might be talking about at the moment, and it only made me even more nervous to think that I would be the centre of the conversation. The one whose fate was being decided. I was the topic to be discussed and yet, I wasn’t allowed to witness it.Anger surged through me at the thought, but with it came frustration and confusion. I liked Zade a lot, and presently, I may even like him a lot more than I did Xavier, but that wasn’t enough reason to
Dawn’s POV:“Well, I don’t… I don’t know.” I stuttered as I looked up at Zade’s expectant eyes. “I have never lived with vampires before and I fear that-”“You’ve never lived with werewolves before either but you did and you did just fine.”he added, interrupting me and I gulped.Fine, I knew that he made a lot of sense saying that but there was no way both species could be compared to one another. Werewolves were like humans who had the ability to shift but vampires were different. Those were another species of beings entirely. They were NOT humans in any way and while humans and werewolves could cohabit, vampires and humans could not as humans were practically their food.The fear of living in a place where everyone saw me as potential food filled me with fear and with that fear clawing at my chest, I shook my head. “Personally, I’d love to live with you as you treat me so well, but I fear that I’ll be in danger back at your house. I am human, a human with human blood and it just do
Dawn’s POV:My eyes fluttered open, then went shut. This happened continuously as I tried- no, fought to keep my eyes open, but I couldn’t. In the distance, I could hear the sounds of hushed voices, arguing… and I could smell… that was strange because I could perceive smells so strongly now, and this place smells like shit.Despite the horrid smelling atmosphere, some distinct smells still stood out. It was like the combination of pines, of woods, of the morning dew of fresh leaves, of flowers’ nectar, of champagne and aftershave, and at that, my eyes shot open and I was immediately met with three pairs of breathtakingly beautiful eyes that had my breath hitching in my chest. They belonged to Ryan, Zade… and unfortunately, Xavier.“Dawn?” It was Zade who spoke up first and before I could respond, he sprung forward to pull me into a hug. God, I was happy to see him, ecstatic even but I couldn’t bring myself to hug him back. I felt confused, drained, and most of all, I couldn’t fathom
