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

Xavier’s POV:“Alpha Xavier, we mean no harm… we just wanted to know who the young lady—”“Get out!” I snarled again, pointing to the door.For some weird reason, I was blinded by a red hot rage. I couldn’t think straight, couldn’t assimilate anything besides the fact that these people had come to manipulate me in a way… they’d come with false news- probably- about Reagan with the aim of getting me to divulge Dawn’s identity to them, and normally, I wouldn’t even be bothered by something like that but in this scenario, it was different. She was my mate too, and as such, I had every right to protect her as I am doing now.“Alpha—!” A deep baritone voice called out, causing the ground underneath me to shake with so much force, and for a minute, I was stunned into silence until I realized that it was the quiet elder, one of whom hadn’t said a word since we started talking today, and the only one who didn’t drink from what I had served to them.His red eyes were like fierce slits as he re

Xavier’s POV:I started by taking her on a long walk. I took her around the house, showing her the entire expanse of my pack and while I knew that she couldn’t respond, I was certain at least that she could hear me.We had gone around the house about two times- to which she still didn’t appear tired- when another thought crossed my mind, and with it swirling through my head, I took her in the direction of the woods and began to lead her to the clearing that only Ryan and I knew about.It was a small lake situated just close to the pack’s borders and upon arrival, I led her to the clear water, hoping that she could maybe see her reflection in the water; And as expected, she went over to the water and peered in. A chuckle escaped my lips when she jumped back in fright and with a laugh, I walked over to her, patted her gently and murmured;“That’s you… You are a shifter too.”She probably tried to respond to that because then she let out a low grumble from the back of her throat, whilst

Dawn’s POV:I watched him from behind the trees- where I had gone to hide- in awe as he shifted so comfortably like it was something he was comfortable doing- and maybe he was- but for me, it was painful as hell and my body still ached from it.When he had completely returned to his human form, he bent over to pick up his clothes from the floor and after he had carefully put his boxer shorts back on and his pants, he raised the shirt, turned around and called out;“Hey, come over Dawn! You would need to wear something… you cannot return to the pack house stark naked!”I watched him. Even though I understood what he was saying and could clearly see that he was handing his clothes to me, I still couldn’t help but ask; “What would I wear?”The frustrated look on his face and the way he squeezed his eyes shut were enough indication that my attempt at acting clueless didn’t fly over his head. I stifled a laugh as I slowly crept out from my hiding spot and muttered; “If you’re trying to get

Dawn’s POV:When we got back to the pack house, it was already late in the evening and a lot of people had retired to their apartments. The entire house too was so quiet, you could literally hear the sound of a pin dropping to the floor.I turned to Alpha Xavier. “Why’d everyone go to bed this early today?” I couldn’t help but ask as I looked around the quiet house again. Even the servants usually around the house were nowhere to be found and only a few bodyguards patrolled the entire place.Alpha Xavier barely looked at me as he shrugged dismissively. He also glanced around the house but then snorted before saying; “They’re probably all tired.”“By half past eight?”“Of course, by half past eight!” He grunted derisively and I rolled my eyes. “…tomorrow is the start of the festival of the moon so they’ve probably retired late in order to recuperate or plan ahead for the day!”Oh.But wait, “Why wasn’t I told about the festival until now?” I snapped, feeling something akin to rage bubb

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

Dawn’s POV:The next few days were filled with a series of events. First, I bonded with my family even more and went for jobs with them. I also managed to talk Autumn out of her fear for my kind (did you notice how I referred to werewolves as my kind? It was because I had finally made peace with that problem) and now, she was no longer as weary as she used to be around me.I also practiced how to shift in the woods and one time, after my parents and Logan pleaded with me to show them my wolf, I shifted in front of them too.And it was also during this time that mother told me everything surrounding the events that led them to me. She told me about how it was the second phase of the war between humans and supernaturals- the war that had made humans resort to living in underground bunkers- and how they’d found me in the arms of a badly injured woman who had pleaded with them to take me.They had thought that she was human like them and had taken the child (me) from her before she passed
