They say that the truth would set you free, but in this particular case, it would f*ck me up. I can’t tell Harvey Martins, the Lycan, that I was chased by demons in Hulu forest and they managed to kidnap me. If a demon even breathes a whiff of air on Werewolf grounds and Harvey finds out, he would see that as an act of war. “Great, your sister and Ashton are here,” My mom walks to the front door to open it, for it is being knocked on. My mom opens the door without asking and she is right, it is Zoe and Ashton. Seeing them spending time together should not be bothering me as much as it is right now. Both of them walk in and Zoe rushes toward me. “Gosh, you’re alive,” She breathes a sigh of relief as she hugs me tightly. I gladly hug her back, for I did miss her too. “Yeah,” I reply to her as we break the hug. “Hi,” Ashton waves to me nervously and I nod stiffly in response. “We thought you died…I thought I had lost you forever,” Zoe says to me as she smiles sadly. “Well, her
"Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it."-Judy Blume ………… “What is your name, dear?” The Lycan asks as he breathes out a shaky sigh. “Lara Zane, from the Blue River pack,” I reply to him, mustering all the confidence that I can. “Well, Ms. Zane, your story has some holes in it, but I really don’t give a damn,” He walks close to me. I can sense his strength and power by just looking at him. “What do you care about then?” I ask him, and he smiles. “Good question,” He mumbles as he nods slowly. “What I care about is the werewolf people and their well-being. I don’t give a flying sh*t if you decide to lay in bed with a demon, but you should know that once one crosses that line, one can’t come back from it,” Harvey explains as he paces the room slowly. Everyone is watching him in silence. “I’m not laying with
***Zayn Meyer’s POV***Werewolves and Demons weren’t always enemies. Once upon a time, years ago before the war, we lived together in the same town. We helped each other and saw each other as allies.We even interbred. It was all perfect. Well, too perfect because it all then went to hell.I was 13 years old when that dark day came. I have nightmares about that day every single night, and each time, I wake up in cold sweat, breathing heavily, with the vivid image of my father's heart being ripped out of his chest by a werewolf.The town we all lived in together was called “Beacon”. It was the largest society of the werewolf and demon species. Hundreds of different packs of werewolves, and even more legions of demons dwelt in Beacon in peace and harmony.There were two leaders of this great town; my father and Harvey Martins. They ruled with wisdom and love until one day envy and insecurity poisoned the heart of the Lycan. He noticed that everyone was listening more to my father and
***Lara Zane’s POV***I am currently in a car alone with Ashton Martins as we drive to the Demon Territory. My sister, Zoe was able to convince our parents to agree to what I was proposing; which was for me to stay in the Demon Territories for a while. Tessa also helped, for it was not a one-man mission.They finally agreed but under a few conditions, and one of those conditions included Ashton Martins escorting me, seeing where I would be staying and who would be hosting me while I stayed miles away from them.The other conditions include me calling them three times a week and visiting on the holidays. They also had a long talk about who I should let touch my body, which was the weirdest conversation I have had in my life. I am not allowed to date any demon under no circumstances, and if I feel like I am in danger in any way, I should find a way to get back home no matter what.I am glad they are letting me do this, but being stuck in a car with Ashton as my babysitter is not how I
“Say that again and I will show why the war was won by werewolves and not demons,” Ashton says bravely as he takes a step closer to the guard.“That’s enough!” I hear a familiar voice and I look in the direction of the source. It’s Zayn Meyer, the demon king.The guard immediately takes a step backward from Ashton and apologizes to his leader.“Nice to see you again, Lara,” Zayn says to me as a small smile clings to his lips. I smile back in response.He is sitting on top of a high dark horse, and Bunny is next to him riding a similar one. She is staring daggers at Ashton, and if her eyes could kill, he would have been dead already.“What is this young man doing here with you?” Zayn gets off his horse and walks toward us. Bunny follows closely behind but she does not get off her horse.Everyone except Zayn seems tense and on high alert. The guards are holding long battle spears in their hands, ready to attack if just given the chance.“I am Ashton Martins, son of Harvey Martins. I am
***Harvey Martins’ POV***I rise from my glorious throne and the beta turns his face away from me in fear, as he should.“He has eaten nothing at all?” I ask the beta as he leads me out of the room, and he replies slowly, “Yes, my lord.”There are only five people alive who know that I have been holding a demon captive. They are all werewolves obviously, or I would have had an invasion from Zedd’s son in minutes.The little bastard is just like his father; fearless, and a pain in the a**.Both of my children, one of each of their most loyal betas, and I are the only ones with this delicate knowledge. I can’t trust any more than five people, and my children have been warned strongly to keep this secret as they keep their lives.I don’t like staying in this town, it brings back so many pre-war memories. At first, Beacon was the only town we had, but then I decided to create more towns after I drove out all the demons. With hundreds of packs, almost fifty towns, and each pack having a p
***Lara Zane’s POV***The elevator makes a distinct sound when it comes to a stop and the automated doors then open. Bunny is the first to walk out, followed by me.“Wow,” I say in awe as I look around. We are in the penthouse and I can’t emphasize how luxurious and breathtaking it is!“Welcome to your humble new home,” I hear a familiar voice, and when I look towards the lovely living room, I see Zayn standing with his hands in his pockets. The lighting is perfect and he looks like a Greek god.He has a smirk on his face and looks almost as excited as I am to show me the penthouse.“This is amazing,” I confess, and Bunny chuckles lowly.“It is more than amazing,” Zayn says as he walks in our direction. The marble tiles are smooth and shiny, I have not seen any like them in my life. The windows are floor-to-ceiling, and very huge; allowing enough natural light to pour into the place.There is so much space and the theme is cream and white. “You like it?” He captures my attention, a
A bada** wolf? I laugh at what Bunny just said, though deep down, I feel a sense of new hope. I have never thought of it that way. Could she be right?Or maybe I just want her to be right so I won’t feel broken and like an outcast. “When was the last time that the Moon goddess chose a 16-year-old to be a mate to an alpha?” Bunny questions me, and I scan my mind for an answer.“Um…” I can’t remember the last time that happened, or if it has ever happened before. Holy cow! They could be right! I could actually be special.“You can’t answer that question because it has never happened before…at least in your lifetime. Lara, you are a rare occurrence,” Zayn tells me, and I can't help but smile.“Aww, you look adorable when you realize your worth,” Bunny coos, and I roll my eyes playfully. Zayn laughs in response, and I narrow my eyes at him.“When did you say that we begin training again?” I ask him and he smirks.“I think you know the answer to that,” He replies smoothly, and then he s
