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

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: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.

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
