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 pushed my hands deeper into my pockets as the winter wind blew against my face, biting into my pale skin. I winced when it blew again, almost peeling off my chapped lips. My full ginger red hair was tied into a ponytail in the way I liked it and my attention was drawn to the massive black mansion which stood high into the sky like something straight from a horror movie.I hated winter. It was the time when the vampires ravaged the city the most. It was their season… one that was just as cold as they were.To them, we humans were nothing but slaves… or food. They ruled by night, while the shifters, mostly the werewolves, ruled by day. That was the new reality of earth ever since the fourth world war.“Dawn!” A voice cut through my thought, forcing me to turn in its direction. From a distance, I saw my friend, Autumn, waving at me with her long wavy hair floating around her as the wind blew at her.“Autumn!” I yelled back,“C’mon, you can’t stand there all day. It’s gettin

    Dawn’s POV:I was wrong. The thing came after me. Growing up, we had always been educated with the implications of coming out at night… worst of all, full moon nights. It was one rule I never intended to break. Until Logan happened tonight.As I ran, I couldn’t help but look around, hoping to see Logan or something, anything that could lead me to him but I didn’t, and it made me panic even more. I suddenly felt a gush of wind from behind me but before I could comprehend what was happening, I was running headfirst into a wall. Wincing, I staggered backward and held my throbbing head in my hands. However, I gasped when I realized to my absolute dismay that it wasn’t a wall. It was a person. A person whose eyes were glowing a fiery red.My breath hitched in my throat and my body trembled when I slowly raised my gaze to meet that of this person and I couldn’t help but worry that maybe, just maybe this was my end.He had the handsomest face I had ever seen with a chiseled jawline, high s

    Dawn’s POV:It’s been a few days since my encounter with Zade, the vampire and ever since, I couldn’t help but feel like I was being watched.True to his words, he had helped me look for Logan whom we found at a ditch, crying out his lungs and looking all scared and bloody. Zade says that it was a miracle that other vampires hadn’t reached that ditch first or he would have been steak by the end of the day.Mother, on the other hand, always asked me how I found Logan and how we both made it out alive but I couldn’t tell her the truth. Zade had forced me into promising him to keep my mouth sealed.Damn, I sound like a teenage schoolgirl in love with my constant Zade this, Zade that nowadays. It was only a shame that I couldn’t tell anyone else about him.Pushing thoughts of the striking vampire out of my mind, I stepped into the room with about fifteen people scrambling about looking for a seat. Autumn was right beside me and she seemed like she was just as lost in thought as I was.Ju

    Dawn’s POV:Mate.The word rang over and over in my head, causing a small headache to begin to form at the back of my head. Despite being human, I knew exactly what that meant. I knew that it meant that I was in a way connected to him… or to use their terms, I was fated to him or something.“This is impossible!” He muttered under his breath, and then glancing at me again, he spat; “I don’t want this!”My breath hitched in my chest from the blatant rejection but he still didn’t let me go. Instead, his fingers dug deeper into my arms until beads of blood had begun to pool under his nails as he turned his attention to the blonde woman who I had initially thought was the boss.“Who are these people?” He spat at her, sounding almost disgusted to be in the same space as us. Almost.The woman regarded us with a frown that I never knew was possible on that pretty face of hers and after beaming a fake smile at us, she rushed out; “they’re humans… laborers. They were part of the people who clea

    Dawn’s POV:Tears streamed down my face and I winced when I was thrown to the floor like I was nothing but a rag doll. Pain shot up my spine from the impact of my body hitting the marble and I cried out in anguish.I was only distracted for a minute when my view came into focus and I realized that indeed I had been thrown into the lion’s den. Into that beast’s chamber, and there was practically nothing I could do about it. The place was luxurious and beautiful and had me gasping from the sheer beauty of it all. The entire interior decoration had been done in gray and white, from the furniture, the walls, even the curtains and the fluffy rug beside the bed. The only thing of a different color was the golden chandelier hanging high in the ceiling… but it screamed class. I couldn’t comprehend how just one person was able to acquire so much wealth but before I could let my thoughts stray into thinking about that, I remembered my plight. I needed to get out of here and I needed to find a

    Dawn's POV "What...is going on?" I asked, as my eyes moved from Alpha Xavier's to Zade's to the stranger's. Zade looked a bit amused to see me there, it was as if he knew that we were still going to meet again after our last encounter. The stranger stood up and started walking towards me, with his eyes not leaving mine. I looked away from him, and stared at Alpha Xavier, waiting for some kind of answer but he just stood there and...watched. Zade did too. "Mate," the stranger said again, but this time, he was barely two feet away from me. He crouched down, and placed two fingers under my chin, raising my head to meet his gaze. "My name is Ryan. What's your name, mate?" He asked. His deep voice rang in my head, and I struggled to form a word. I gulped down, and managed to say my name. He nodded and helped me get up. I didn't know what to do. It was so funny how I went from being a very normal human to having...three mates now? Especially those who'd kill me in a heartbeat.

    Alpha Xavier's POV After pacing around for five minutes, I finally stopped to think. With my recent prisoner in a room just a few feet away from me, I just couldn't sleep, even when I wanted to. There was definitely something about her. I have tried ignoring it, but it's still there. By this time tomorrow, the Don, Zade, would have made his decision and she might finally be his. That was the plan, but did I want that? The mere presence of my prisoner annoyed me but still, I wanted it so badly. "Fuck!" I cursed, as I found myself strolling towards the door, going to meet Dawn. I twisted the knob, and opened the door but I was stopped before I could step in. "What are you doing here?" I asked Cassidy, as she stared at me wide eyed. I knew that look. When it came from her, it only meant one thing. "What do you mean, alpha Xavier? Or, do I dare say Xavier?" She asked in a soft tone, one she only used when she wanted me. I averted my gaze from her, and took a step forw

    Dawn's POV As Zade’s and my lips glided against each other’s, soft moans escaped my lips. I wrapped my hands around his neck, and bent my head a little to make it deeper. I softly rubbed the back of his neck, as I continued moaning into his mouth. For a split second, I pulled out of the kiss to catch my breath, but he pulled me closer, and took my bottom lip into his. When I pulled out of the kiss, I noticed that his eyes were a very dark shade of red. It looked scary, but surprisingly, I wasn't scared at all. In fact, it looked sexy to me and at that moment, I wanted him so bad. I wanted him to use more than his lips to explore every part of my body. Heat radiated from my body, and a pool of sweat gathered on my forehead. But my forehead wasn't the only part that was wet. Without thinking, I took his hand and guided it down, in between my thighs. It was so warm and wet and the thought of his cold finger slipping in and out of me even made me wetter. He slipped my pa

    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
