All Chapters of Awakening the Rejected Queen: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Zane’s POVI felt weightless. Weightless and fucking cold. Callie wasn’t kidding. This place was freezing. At least, I assumed that’s where we were.I floated along in the darkness, not knowing what else to do. If this was the nether region, I had to admit, it was a little boring.Eventually, I saw a light in the distance. It was only a dim light but my instincts told me to head towards it. Since I was floating, I wasn’t really sure how to move, so I sort of pushed my arms through the air like I was swimming.It worked. I got closer and closer to the dim light.But then, I felt something grab onto my ankle. An icy cold grasp, even colder than the air of the nether region, even that was even possible.“He can’t go.” It was a voice, that hissed like a snake. It echoed all around me. I didn’t like the feeling of this thing on my ankle so I shook my leg.Suddenly, I felt more icy grasps, all along my ankles and calves. I was being pulled back, away from the dim light.Something flashed in

Zane’s POVWas that Astrid? No. It couldn’t be. I looked again at the woman in the cage. She was pacing back and forth around her cell. Her face looked like Astrid’s.But this woman was wearing a tutu. A freaking tutu! And she had glitter on her eyes and bright pink lipstick.And oh God. Were those…were those ballet slippers?What kind of fresh hell was this?I looked at the giant metal hooks coming out of her shoulders. My heart sank as I realized the hooks weren’t part of a costume. They were embedded right into her skin.Then I saw the scars.But how? How did Astrid have scars? Her wolf was strong. It would have taken a lot of torture to produce lasting scars like those.She was mumbling under her breath as she paced, with something clutched in her hand. I couldn’t see what it was.“Where are we?” I asked Callie. But she only shrugged.“The Retina Spell can locate people, or intuitively take you to people you want to see. But it doesn’t tell me the location. It’s not a GPS or anyth

Zane’s POV“When?” Alpha Sylar asked, his eyes skeptical. “I thought we’d already discussed everything we needed to discuss. What more could he possibly want?”“He said first thing tomorrow morning. He’s asking that you go to his private island. You’ll have to be blindfolded, of course, and…”“Fuck that,” Alpha Sylar said. “If he wants to meet with me, he can come here, to the castle.”My eyes went back and forth from the warrior to Skylar as they spoke. I was struggling to make sense of this.I knew about Demetrius Santonio. He was the head of the Santonio family, a very powerful mafia. They had jurisdiction in a lot of major cities in the human world. But they didn’t do business with the werewolf world. At least, that’s what I’d been led to believe.So what did Demetrius want with Alpha Skylar?My instincts prickled. I had a bad feeling about this.“Sweetheart,” Scarlett said, placing her hand over Skylar’s. “Demetrius has done a lot for our war. We owe him our gratitude. If he want

Zane’s POVI lunged, my heart hammering in my chest.Who was this asshole? What had he done to MY Eden? What was he DOING to her now?She looked terrified. Her hands were cuffed, actually hand-cuffed! He was naked, his member jutting out in front of him like an evil worm.He was going to …. He was going to rape her!I lunged right at him. But I went right through him, like a ghost. Which is what I guess I was, sort of. I was a spirit.I whirled around, standing on the other side of him. I growled.“Help me,” I said to Callie. “We have to stop him.”Callie looked at me sadly. “We can’t,” she said. “We’re just silent observers, remember?”What?What kind of cruel joke was this? The gate keepers had brought me here to see Eden getting raped? Without the ability to do anything about it?“That’s right, you little bitch. Fight back. It’s way more satisfying when you fight back.”It was the man. I looked at him, hard. He looked vaguely familiar. Who was he? My head whipped around the room.“

Zane’s POVBlood squirted all over Eden’s face. Demetris, wild with pain and shock, grabbed his dick. He looked down at Eden, horrified.“You bitch! What have you done?”But Eden only smiled smugly as she spat out the tip of his dick.She’d bitten down so hard on Demetrius’ dick, that she’d actually bitten the top right off.“Better get that to a doctor,” Eden said sarcastically. “If you wait too long, he won’t be able to sew it back on.”Demetrius was furious. He scrambled to pick up the tip of his dick. He tried to stop the bleeding with his other hand. He got off of her then and started running towards the door.“Oh and by the way,” Eden said, still lying handcuffed on the bed. “You’re wrong. Your dick tastes nothing like a lollipop. It tastes like a pile trash, you assshole.”Eden laughed then, while he ran out of the room.Her face was smeared with blood. Her wrists were red and raw. Her hair was a wild mess. And her belly protruded out in front of her.She’d never been more beau
