Dawn's POV The next day. I woke up, expecting Zade by my side like he promised, but he left already. I quickly got ready and slipped into my uniform and stepped out. Immediately I walked inside the house, I knew that something was wrong. I was used to most of the maids looking at me scornfully. But today, it was different. I went to the throne hall, and alpha Xavier was on his throne as usual. I was about to greet him, when he suddenly barked at me. "Come here!" Quietly, I obeyed and knelt before him, with my head bowed. My heart hammered against my chest, as I wondered what I had done again. "Dawn, I can see you really want to see my true colors!" He said, and I raised my head, feeling confused as hell. What was he talking about? I made an attempt to speak, but he stopped me again. "I was told that you snuck out of the pack house alone. I thought I warned you against that!" He barked again, standing up. He took steps towards me, and glared at me. I was so confused

Alpha Xavier's POV Immediately I got off the bed, I regretted the fact that I had woken up; my blood boiled with anger. It was probably because I slept angrily the night before. The moment Cassidy came into the main house against my orders to tell me that she saw Dawn running out of the house alone, my heart broke a little then anger overwhelmed me. So much effrontery! I had thought that she wouldn't come back and would probably go hide somewhere far away from the house. But I was a bit surprised when I heard that she came back. If she came back to the house, then why the hell did she leave in the first place? After rotting in the dungeon for a few days, the plan was to auction her off. I'd just get someone else for Zade. Even though she was my mate, I was willing to let her go. She was becoming annoying as each day passed by. My day was going slowly and I hated it already. I got ready and went to the throne hall to attend to any pending tasks. After going through everyth

Alpha Xavier’s POV:There were a few people I hated getting into confrontations with and one of them was Lord Zade. Despite his handsome face and charming personality, he was a brute, an archaic one at that, and there was no saying the things he could do. I also knew that he had a thing or two for Dawn- I hated that everyone did- and that even made his presence here, now that she was missing, more daunting than it already was.As his voice boomed around the room, Ryan raised his head to look up at me, as if expecting that I would become offended by Zade’s interference, I wasn’t. If anything, I just wanted him to be pacified and out of here.“Where’s Dawn?” Zade asked again, looking directly at me this time.“I don’t know,” I finally answered and then came the moment of shame as I ducked my head and continued; “She was taken to the dungeons some time yesterday and this morning, when we awoke, we realized that she had been taken and that the guards stationed to protect her were nowhere

Dawn’s POV:Peeling my eyes open felt like a lot of work. My eyelids were heavy but right now, I couldn’t ascertain if it was due to fatigue or this was my body’s way of reacting to whatever substance I had been fed with before.It took me a moment to regain my blurry sight and when I looked around me, I was surprised to see that I was in a dungeon of some sort, but unlike the one back at Alpha Xavier’s pack, this one was damp, smelly, and was filled with several torture equipments hung at certain areas on the wall, as if to act as some kind of decoration… or in my case, to scare people.My breath hitched in my chest as I took in my environment and to make matters worse, whatever they’d used to make me unconscious still hasn’t fully worn out of my system. I still felt drowsy and my eyes still hurt terribly. My lips were chapped and my throat dry. What scared me the most was how heavy my body was, it was so heavy that it was practically impossible to move any part of it… even my eyelas

Dawn’s POV:I hoped that I was dead, and that this immense peace I felt was from the inside. But it wasn’t, and I wasn’t dead. When I woke up, I realized that it was now late at night and that I was still on the damp floor of the dungeon and in the position I’d been in earlier. I blinked slowly as I tried to focus on what was happening around me but nothing was, and while the three burly men were nowhere to be found, I couldn’t help but be afraid, afraid that they might return.I groaned as pain shot from my back down to my thighs as I tried to sit up but that didn’t make me relent. I continued to force myself up, whilst gnashing my teeth and crying through the pain. I had only managed to sit up before I remembered my nose, my nose which was once bloody before I passed out. Carefully, I ran my fingers over the surface and nearly screamed when I felt it… the crookedness. It was broken, that I was sure of. It was also sore and extremely painful but I couldn’t cry, I couldn’t scream, n

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

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: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:The room broke into chaos.One minute, I was screaming, hoping that something in my voice would end this madness, but it didn’t, and the next minute, Xavier was pushing Xander off his Beta while he landed a fatal blow to the back of his neck.Xander growled in annoyance as he struggled to his feet with his hands clutching the back of his neck, and with eyes full with disdain, he snarled at Xavier; “Brother! You dare hit me?!”I rolled my eyes and so did Ryan. The room was too tense, so tense that one could cut the thickness in the atmosphere with a bread knife. My eyes widened when I noticed how Xander pushed toward Xavier but before he could lay a hand on him, Ryan inched closer, his nose bleeding.“Stay back,” he growled, eliciting an amused snicker from Xander.“And if I do not?” He snapped back threateningly but Ryan didn’t flinch even though it was obvious that the other man was stronger by the way he towered over him. “What will you do?”“I have no idea,” Ryan mutter

Dawn’s POV:“Go to your room!” Xavier barked at me and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t argue. I didn’t even need to be told twice as I dashed out of the dining area and ran up the stairs leading to Xavier’s chamber.When I arrived at my room, I slammed the door shut, fastened the locks into its place- so as not to take any chances- and crouched behind the bed. For some reason, I was scared… terrified even and I do not know why. For all I knew, Xander couldn’t be as bad as everyone was making him out to be, but whenever I remembered Autumn's words, and Ryan’s… and the way Xavier’s face had fallen at the news of his presence, I couldn’t help but think otherwise.My hands shook as I wrapped them around my knees and I even began to shake even more when I began to hear the sudden noises coming from downstairs. The shouts and the screams… and then the silence; The eerily intense silence that made my heart hammer against my chest as I couldn’t help but wonder why he was here… wh

Dawn’s POV:Ever since that incident with Cassidy the other night, my room was changed again, and this time, I was made to live in one of the rooms in Xavier’s private chamber. It was peaceful here… and beautiful too, but sometimes I couldn’t help but think that maybe now, I was trapped. Maybe there was no escaping him anymore. I knew that it was for my safety but I still felt weird thinking about it, especially whenever I remembered the way he had gone off on Cassidy that day.“Dawn… your food.” A deep rich masculine voice snapped me out of my train of thoughts and in shock, I lifted my head and blinked, surprised as I was met with two pairs of beautiful eyes… beautiful eyes that were all mine-‘if you think of it that way.I cleared my throat and sat up, and while I did, I never took my eyes off Xavier, not even for a second. You see, I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to ask him about my parents, about Cassidy’s situation, and I wanted to ask him who ‘Xander’ was, and in order to ena

Zade’s POV:It was silent… and cold, just the way I liked it whenever I wanted to think.As I lazed away in my indoor lounge with my favorite drink in hand- which was a sachet of blood type AB- I couldn’t help but think about what had happened earlier today. My people were going too far. I understood their anger at the fact that I had given Reagan away but retaliating by going after Dawn? That was too much! And I would make them pay for going after my mate!Sometimes, I couldn’t help but think about the possibilities of what would’ve been if Xavier, Ryan, and I hadn’t arrived there when we did. I couldn’t shake out the images that plagued my mind. Images of ‘what would haves’ that I struggled to shake off, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became.Do you even know what is worse? The fact that I couldn’t talk to anyone about it… yet. I didn’t trust anyone here about issues relating to Dawn. Not my mother, and definitely not my friend, Micah. They hated humans with a passio

Dawn’s POV:As I laid in bed that night, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Ryan had said to me. It wasn’t a lot to process, but still, it had been shocking. I still wasn’t sure if the ‘murderer’ that plagued Autumn’s dreams was Xavier or his estranged brother, Xander, and at this point, I was sure that I ought to talk to Xavier about it in order to know the truth.Deciding that I would do just that when next I met him, I closed my eyes and snuggled into my duvet. It was night, I was tired and today had been an excruciatingly long day so it was only normal that I retired to bed.However just when I had slowly begun to doze off, a creaking noise by my door had me peeling my eyes wide open. It was so dark in here, as dark as a crow in a night’s sky, so I was certain that whoever must’ve come in could not see me. I took a sniff of the air, hoping to smell any one of my mates but to my surprise, the smell was foreign. It was feminine… and what stood out the most was the aura it gave off.

Dawn’s POV:I didn’t stop wailing as I packed up my suitcase and got into one of Xavier’s waiting cars, that is after explaining to my parents what was happening, and I still didn’t stop crying even as the car drove out of the dirt road leading out of the woods and into the city.I could remember their frightened faces. It was the only thing latched into my memory as I climbed into the car, and when Xavier promised to take them to a different bunker at a more secure location, they chickened out. They didn’t trust him, and that was understandable… but they trusted me and I couldn’t afford to bring them down.My tears continued to stream down my face and I didn’t notice until I felt something warm against my left cheek, brushing away the stray tear that had streaked that spot, and when I turned to the person to see that it was Ryan, I barely smiled. I only nodded.The ride continued in silence and when Ryan probably could no longer stand how quiet it was, he turned to me. His voice was

Dawn’s POV:I waited for the commotion outside to die down before I climbed up the ladder and unfastened the several locks to the bunker’s door. When I pushed the door open, I was suddenly hit with the metallic smell of blood and that wasn’t all. There were bodies scattered everywhere. And now, I know I may sound like I was exaggerating but more than ten corpses were lying on the floor, and while some were decapitated, the rest were just… dead.Another thing that I couldn’t shake out was the pungent smell of rotten flesh. It smelled disgusting and it emanated from the bodies on the floor, and now that I thought about it, it was the same as those I had smelled on those men back at Xavier’s pack, and in disgust, I scrunched up my nose.“Hey, Dawn! Good to see you.” Ryan greeted me with a sweet smile, and for a minute, I almost forgot about the corpses scattered around until I smelled them again. I smiled back; “Hi Ryan, good to see you too!”Silence…“What happened here?” I resorted to

Dawn’s POV: Autumn’s words wouldn’t stop playing in my head and the more I tried to shake it off, the more it plagued my mind. She wasn’t making it up. It didn’t look like she was. Even now, I could still feel the fear that radiated off her, could still see the way her body shook violently and how she had almost hyperventilated. I could still see the sweat… smell them too and none of those actions, none of those body languages showed that she was lying in any way. So it was true. I tossed and turned in bed that night, unable to sleep. I also knew that I needed to take a walk outside, or a run, but I couldn’t. It was late at night and knowing that everyone was fast asleep by now, and that there was no one to fasten the locks on the bunker’s door into place after I’ve left, I didn’t leave. Leaving meant putting them in danger and I would hate myself so much if I accidentally exposed them to more dangers than I have already at this point. I shook my head and sat up. Glancin

Dawn’s POV:My heart pounded in my chest as I slowly walked up to him and while I did, I couldn’t bring myself to look at him… to look at his beautiful eyes… so I watched the floor instead.The hammering of my heart turned into full palpitations when I arrived at where he stood with the wrapped gift and I was just about to beam a smile up at him when I remembered that he could hear my heartbeat. He had a sharp sense of hearing, one that was even sharper than mine, and this thought made me bow my head in embarrassment.“Hello to you too, Dawn.” He greeted teasingly, “How have you been?”His demeanor, his words… His actions made me very confused. I was so certain that he was mad at me and I could’ve sworn that he was only here to punish me for sending Alan back alone the time he came for me, so it was surprising that he was being playful right now. Hell, he’d even come with a present!“Dawn…?” His rich drawl snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up at him slowly. I wasn’t sure what
