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: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: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:“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: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:“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

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:Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, momentarily obstructing my vision. Even my head had begun to bang so terribly and my body trembled; but none of these could be compared to the turmoil happening inside my heart.My heart squeezed, the pain nearly bringing me to my knees but I pushed forward, grabbed Xavier by his shirt and cried; “How? When?”The room was silent and no one tried to break the silence. Amidst this chaos, the only thing I could hear was the sound of my blood rushing through my ears and the way my heart pounded against my chest. I couldn’t bring myself to control my tremor but despite this, I couldn’t help but notice how difficult it was for Xavier to look at me.“Dawn…”“When did he take them?”“I don’t know… I just got a text from him some minutes ago. But I promise you, I’ll get them back safely. I’ll bring them here where they’ll be safe and I’ll protect—”“That was the same thing you said the last time before taking them to wherever it is that y

Dawn’s POV:“I only asked to see Zade, not you. So you should return to your room.” Xavier snapped as soon as his eyes landed on me and for a minute, I was stunned to silence. I didn’t move nor speak as I was too shocked. Besides his words, another thing that enraged me was the tone of voice with which he spoke to me. It was sharp, almost dismissing and I couldn’t help but wonder if he was still mad at me for refusing to go with Zade.Angrily, I crossed my arms over my chest and snarled; “No.”“Dawn… don’t be stupid.”That insult slapped across my face so hard that I felt tears spring into my eyes. He probably caught himself immediately because then he added; “This isn’t about me wanting you to move to Zade’s house for the meantime, it’s about something else. Something more important.”“So there’s something more important than my safety to you right now, right?” I growled. I knew that I sounded selfish right now, pompous even but I couldn’t help it. I was mad… and way beyond reasoning

Xavier’s POV:My blood sizzled with rage as I stormed through the halls, only stopping when I arrived at the throne room and sat down.I was angry and frustrated, but most of all, I was mad. I was mad at Xander for suddenly resurfacing after several years of being out of reach. I hated that he was still so prideful and entitled even after everything he’s done in the past.. including the deaths of our parents. What hurt me the most was his claim on Dawn, and even though we all knew that she was never going to entertain him, I couldn’t say for sure what he was going to do as regards that or the lengths he would go just to have her.A frown etched its way to my face as I there about the one thousand and one despicable things he could have up his sleeves and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I was only snapped out of my reverie when I heard the sound of glass shattering and in shock, I sat up, surprised to see that I had squashed the wine glass in my hands from squeezing

Dawn’s POV:My encounter with Xavier and his estranged brother, Xander, had me so shaken up that I couldn’t bring myself to come down for dinner several hours later. I no longer wanted to see him nor Ryan because for some reason, I feared that something would come up. It might be Xavier trying to convince me into going with Zade or something, and at this point, it was the last thing I wanted.I even contemplated asking him to take me to the bunker where my family was at but seeing as ‘some vampires’ were still after my life, I quickly decided against it.However, I was soon snapped out of my this when I heard the sound of the door creaking open and with wide eyes, I turned in the direction of the sound, gasping when the pungent smell of rotten flesh wafted into my nostrils.“Zade?” I called out in surprise or should I say shock and when Zade stepped into the room, I let out a surprised squeal. “Zade!!!”He chuckled. “Dawn,”“I missed you!” I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around him as I

Dawn’s POV:“She doesn’t want to go with you!” Xavier snarled at his brother who simply licked his lips, ignoring him with his eyes trained on me.“I don’t care,” he spat. “I just know that I am not leaving here without her.”As soon as he said that, my blood curdled. Fear like no other sizzled through my veins, causing my breath to hitch in my chest. I didn’t like this… the thought of this, everything. I hated how I was in the middle of it all and how it seemed as though Xander was firm on his decision to not leave without me.“Do you not think she’s old enough to make that decision herself?” Xavier growled but Xander only shrugged.“I don’t care!” He gritted out; “she’s my mate! And that’s all that matters.” Xander growled as he let out a string of profanities from his mouth. The words spewed from his lips almost deafened me, and I shivered, more from disgust than fear. He threatened to kill Xavier… and Ryan, and then even went as far as promising to fuck me close to their graves af

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
