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:I woke up with a start; to the sound of sirens blaring in the distance and when I went to the window, I was surprised when I saw a small crowd gathered outside, just near the gate.Xavier was a few feet away from the crowd and on his face was the most stoic expression I had ever seen on anyone. His sharp jawline- due to how deeply he was frowning- appeared even sharper and his attention was fully at the open gates, where an ambulance had just driven out of.It was then that I noticed Ryan standing beside Xavier the whole time. Like his shadow, he clung to Xavier whilst whispering something into his ear. I watched them quietly as they talked for a while and just when they were about to turn away, Xavier looked up, catching me off guard as I struggled to appear like I hadn’t been watching them this whole time.Deciding to shrug off whatever was happening out of my mind, I went to have a warm shower, and after changing into a comfortable pair of jeans that had been bright her

Dawn’s POV:Throughout that morning, I forgot all about breakfast as I couldn’t stop sobbing. My heart felt heavy and I wasn’t sure why.I knew that I was embarrassed and felt foolish after the events that happened earlier in the morning, and I also couldn’t shake out the way that Ryan who once only looked at me in admiration watched me with contempt.Wiping my eyes with the back of my sleeve, I pushed myself off the floor and stepped out of my room. I had been in my room, locked up in there for so long that I was surprised when I stepped out and realized that it had become late in the evening and that most of the slaves had retired to their quarters. The house wasn’t as busy as it had been the last time I was out and whilst ignoring the pointed stares from the remaining palace staff left around the house, I strode into the kitchen to help myself to a small bowl of grapes.I was just about to step out when I heard not-so-loud voices coming from the other side linking to the sitting ro

Xavier’s POV:Reagan was nowhere to be found and so was Zade. Even Dawn, the only one who could’ve been able to act as a witness had disappeared. She was not out of the house though but had made it her life’s duty to avoid Ryan and I, and now, I was not sure if she was doing it intentionally to just be spiteful or because she was still mad at the fact that we had taken Cassidy’s side the last time; which was selfish in my books.The wall clock chimed, signifying the beginning of a new hour and I rose up from my seat, sighing as I began to prance about my office.My pack members were restless now. They demanded to know what had happened to Ivana and even I was at loss as to what to tell them. Right now, what annoyed me more than Ryan’s sudden silence and Cassidy’s unwarranted clinginess, was Dawn’s new sense of bizarre pettiness. She was getting on my nerves incessantly and doing so little to achieve that.After Zade’s disappearance, she had begun to throw annoying tantrums and just la

Dawn’s POV:I still couldn’t believe it. One minute, I was snarling at Alpha Xavier with the aim of pushing him to his limits and the next, I was being dragged away like a rag doll… to the cold room!I guess I had successfully pushed him to the wall.The cold room was a storage facility for perishable items and medicines in the pack and I have been there enough times to know how extremely cold it was and how unreasonably evil this so-called punishment was. At first, I had even thought that it was a joke or an empty threat until Alpha Xavier didn’t call the bodyguard back, and neither did the latter stop dragging me in the direction of the said cold room.As the guard continued to drag me and desperation began to set in, I dug my legs into the ground to refrain us from moving any further and snapped; “Let go of me!”“Ma’am… I cannot!” He snapped back, sounding impatient.My eyes widened. Right now, I was scared out of my mind and bothered. I couldn’t allow this to happen simply because

Xavier’s POV:I stood shaking to the side as I watched Alan drag Dawn away and even though I felt insanely remorseful for subjecting her to something like this, I didn’t stop him. I couldn’t stop him. I stood rooted to the place whilst hoping that she learned her lesson from this and refrains from challenging me publicly in the future.I didn’t even intend to keep her there for anything more than a few seconds and so I went after them, hoping to open the door as soon as Alan leaves. However, just when Alan stepped out, shutting the door behind himself and handed the keys to me, I saw Cassidy strolling over with a smug look on her face.When she saw me, she visibly brightened and squealed; “Alpha!”I frowned. Of all times to have a run in with Cassidy, to me, this was like the wrongest of all. I folded my arms across my chest, expertly hiding the key from her peering gaze and drawled; “What are you doing here?”“Oh I should be asking you that!” She answered with a forced smile. “You kn

Xavier’s POV:For as long as I have been alive, I have encountered some pretty difficult situations in my life but trust me, none of them could be compared to trying to help Dawn shift back to her normal self.It was difficult. She was difficult.First off, she was very reluctant to agree that herself and this beautiful brown wolf was one- even I had problems agreeing with that too- and due to that, to her reluctance, it was more than a little hard to get her into allowing herself to be fully absorbed into her wolf’s energy. She couldn’t shift and I couldn’t force her to or that would be disastrous.“Dawn…” I called out again, almost smiling when she crouched lower, almost submissively and that felt weird because knowing her, and knowing that she had no idea how all this was supposed to work, it was surprising to see that her wolf acknowledged my presence, my rank, and it was subduing itself to me. She whimpered.Just as I was about to walk up to her, in a bid to calm her down- even i

Xavier’s POV:“Brother!” He called out again and this time, it took everything in me not to rip his throat out due to how smugly he was looking at me. Deep down, I knew that this was an attempt to rile me up and even though I hated giving him the satisfaction of knowing that he could easily get under my skin, I couldn’t help it.I folded my arms across my chest to refrain from fisting them and leaned against the wall behind me as I snarled; “Get off my chair.”My voice had been so cold and so quiet that it sounded weird, almost diabolical, even to me. Even the vampire elders that have been watching the exchange between us with piqued interest shifted uncomfortably in their seats then, and one even got up to move away, as if escaping, in case of an altercation.Emmet growled; “That’s a very unreasonable way to welcome a guest—”“Only that you’re not a guest, Emmet.” I snapped, interrupting him, “…now if you may excuse me, I have pressing matters with these gentlemen that I’ll love to t

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
