ZANA’S POV

He looked surprised. I didn’t blame him.

I was actually serious. I did want to go back.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes." I smiled faintly. "I know it sounds strange, especially after everything that happened there, but I miss it."

"What do you miss?"

"The normal things."

I thought about it.

I sighed "I miss training, the grounds, my friends. I miss being able to wake up and know what my day is supposed to look like."

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I just miss a sense of normalcy and knowing wh

  • Bound To The Cruel Alphas (SPICY)   Chapter 286

    Zana’s POVThe tension between Percy and Caden had become impossible to ignore. They were standing only a few feet apart, but it felt as though there was an invisible wall between them, and the air around them had become thick with everything neither man was willing to say aloud. Percy's jaw was clenched, his shoulders were rigid, and his eyes were fixed on Caden with a warning that was impossible to misunderstand. Caden, on the other hand, remained calm, but I could see the slight tightening of his hands and the hard look in his eyes that told me he was only one step away from losing his patience.I immediately stepped between them."Enough."Both men looked at me.I planted my hands against their chests and pushed them slightly apart, even though I knew neither one actually needed me to physically separate them. My heart was beating quickly, and I could already feel my wolf reacting to the tension around us. She was almost amused by the entire situation, but I was far too frustrated

"I know it sounds strange, especially after everything that happened there, but I miss it.""What do you miss?""The normal things."I thought about it.I sighed "I miss training, the grounds, my friends. I miss being able to wake up and know what my day is supposed to look like."I shrugged. “I don’t know. I just miss a sense of normalcy and knowing what to do, I guess. Is that so bad?”Darren nodded. "I understand.""I just want a little peace."He looked at me with a small smile. "Maybe we can have that."I smiled."Maybe."For a moment, I allowed myself to imagine it.Returning to the academy.Walking through the familiar grounds.Training without wondering whether every shadow concealed an enemy.Laughing with my friends.Living like an ordinary person, even if only for a little while.Then suddenly, the doors to the safe house opened.Th

    I blinked. "What?"He reached for my hand. "Your turn is over."Percy frowned. "Excuse me?"Darren gave him a look. "I said your turn is over."I stared between them. "What are you two doing?"Darren didn't answer.He simply grabbed my hand and began pulling me away from Percy."Darren!" I shrieked playfully.He laughed. "You've had enough."Percy crossed his arms, frowning. "I don't remember agreeing."Darren looked back at him. "You don't have a choice."I shook my head, laughing as Darren dragged me farther onto the dance floor."You're both ridiculous." I joked.Darren turned toward me. "You've been dancing with him long enough."I raised an eyebrow. "Long enough?""Yes."He placed his hands around my waist, holding me close to him.He pulled me close to him so suddenly that I gasped.He looked at me straight in my eyes.His gaze pinned me down. I couldn’t help but look at him, feeling the goosebumps rising through my skin just from his touch.Not taking his eyes off me, his hands

    ZANA’S POVThinking about it was funny.There had been a time when I had been their enemy. There was a time when they hated me, a time when we had looked at each other and believed we were standing on opposite sides of an impossible battle.And now...here I was…dancing with Percy.The brothers were helping me take down their own father, the man who killed my whole pack.Right now, I was standing beside the very people I had once believed I could never trust.Life made no sense. But somehow, I didn't want to change where I was now.Percy gently squeezed my hand. "You disappeared again."I blinked. "What?""Your mind," He smiled. "You do that a lot."I laughed quietly. "I'm just thinking about how strange everything is."He frowned playfully. "Good strange or bad strange?"I looked around the room and smiled. "Good strange."He smiled. "I'm glad."Then my eyes moved across the room.I saw Ken.He was sitting alone in the corner.He had a glass of wine in one hand, while his other hand m

    ZANA’S POVThe next morning, I woke before the sun had fully risen, and the first thing I thought about was Aisha.I remained still in bed for several minutes, staring at the ceiling while the events of the previous day replayed inside my mind.I could still see her frightened face, hear the forced denial that had shaken the entire courtroom, and remember the silent plea I had seen in her eyes.I had barely slept because one question kept circling through my mind, and no matter how many times I tried to dismiss it, it always returned. What if we never saw Aisha again?I dressed quickly, checking the small hairpin hidden among my belongings. It looked ordinary, just a simple silver pin that could have belonged to any woman attending the hearing, but the tiny object carried the counter-charm we had worked so hard to create.The mage had carefully sealed the enchanted liquid inside a small hollow compartment within the pin so that it could pass through the courthouse security without dra

    ZANA’S POVFor the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to breathe.The hearing had ended hours ago, Lucius's Alpha authority had been suspended, and the constant pressure that had followed me for weeks seemed to have loosened its grip, even if only slightly.That evening, the safe house was filled with warm lights, quiet music, food, and the sound of people laughing together.For a few precious hours, we were allowed to forget about courtrooms, accusations, hidden prisons, ancient magic, and the man who had spent years trying to destroy my family.It was only a small gathering, nothing extravagant, but after everything we had gone through, it felt almost as important as the victory itself.Maren was busy dealing with matters connected to the council and the aftermath of the hearing, so she couldn’t join us. She had more important things to focus on.“The fight isn’t over yet,” she had told me. “Lucius has been suspended. He’s still there, lurking. He can strike at an
