Groban POV
Groban POV
Storming into my cabin with Laya right behind me I immediately felt the onset of infuriating anger toward Dax, who the fuck did he think he was. He was my half-brother, but not by blood.
He was a narcissistic asshole with a chip on his shoulder the size of his ego, and I would like nothing more than knocking that smug grin off of his fucking face. The way he looked at Laya made me seethe inside, I knew what it meant, he hadn’t let it go and I knew full well the moment my back was turned he would try it again.
I wanted to believe that Lay could defend herself against him, but that would force her to have to shift and she was still learning how to be a hybrid, how to control her wolf. She wasn’t ready to take on Dax and the rest of the clan, I had never enjoyed being part of this clan but I knew it was for my own protection that I was here.
My uncle would never suspect the wolf hiding amongst the sheep, and y

Laya POV I felt myself being pulled roughly toward the cabin and the whole while eyes were on us as I almost felt myself being dragged, I didn’t dare look up and even though I could have protested and yanked my arm away at any point, I didn’t dare do that right now. Groban seemed really pissed off at me for my complete and total unnecessary outburst and verbal attack on Ward. I was trying to make sense of why I had done that, what the hell was wrong with me. I felt weird, hot and cold and tingly all over my body. The fact that I had said that I was sorry clearly hadn’t smoothed things over like I had hoped, I mean yes I did deserve his anger toward me right now. Yes I probably shouldn’t have lashed out at Ward the way that I had, seeing that he is after all the leader of this godforsaken clan. I should have just kept my damn mouth shut, why did I have to choose that moment, my first proper introduction with Ward to blow my mouth off. I was suddenly pulled fro
The forest floor was covered in a stench I didn’t have to recognize before knowing it was death, the air was mystified with a presence of something no- someone whom I didn’t have to recognize before knowing it was Demetrius. I stood staring at him as he stood merely a few feet away from me smirking with an evil grin plastered on his face, his hair was black and I couldn’t help but realize the uncanny resemblance Groban had to him, must run in the family I thought as my brows furrowed. I had never met his mother but I was certain that she too would have posed a striking resemblance to Groban, but as I stood staring at Demetrius I realized that it wasn’t fear that I felt toward him, which was strange. I should have felt an impending dread of fear wash over me, he was a lycan, he stood towering over my form at any event. His build was sheer muscle and strength of his dominance oozed from his very pores as he stood clothed in only the finest metal
I was up way before Groban woke up the next morning, I had already showered and dressed myself, and was now in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I was really hungry, it was undoubtedly because of the cold as we had officially been hit with winter last night as if blasted with the sheer vengeance thereof. Or maybe it was the dream I had last night, it kept replaying in my head over and over. Seeing Dimitrius’s face as he glared at me, and then all those women standing protectively as they surrounded me. Stopping what I was doing I leaned my one palm against the counter before placing my other hand against my stomach. My brows furrowed as I tried to shake the dream from reality, ‘It was just a dream, it was just a dream,’ I kept breathing as I momentarily closed my eyes. Sighing as I forced myself out of my reverie I quickly stood up on my tippy toes as I reached for the eggs which were on the top shelf of the cupboard in a basket, suddenly I gasped as I felt his body p
Groban POV Groban POV I tried to compose myself, still reeling my beast back in just as I got to the door to open it. When I did, I was met with Dax standing in the cold of the morning with white snow covered everywhere outside, besides seeing his ugly mug, the scenery was actually quite beautiful. “What the fuck do you want?” I snapped at him, my irritability level now being way off at this point. My beast was going crazy inside of me after smelling a different scent of Laya, what the hell was going on, why was there another scent attached to her own. It was driving my beast to the brink of insanity. “Well this isn’t exactly the way you should be greeting you’re big brother now is it, Groban,” Oh I was definitely not in the mood for any of his bullshit today, that was for sure. “Dax, I’m not in the mood, so just tell me what you want and get it over with,” nodding his head in his normal devious manner he merely shrugged,
Groban POV Three days ago I found out that Laya was carrying our pup, and honestly my stomach was in knots. I was trying to stay calm, cool and collected. Except how could I, she was carrying my own and we were stuck in the pit of a place that would kill us with no remorse if they found out what we were. This made me more anxious because now it wasn’t just us anymore, there was someone else to worry about, my baby was growing inside of her and all I wanted to do was being happy and excited but I couldn’t. I needed to go and speak with Ward, it was winter and we were closed in with snow, there was no way that we would be able to leave now, but sooner or later we would have to leave here, the brothers wouldn’t take kindly to a pregnant female in the camp. So I had to play it smart, I had to make sure that I would be able to get Laya and our unborn child out of here when the time was right, for now at least with the heavy snow, it s
Ward POV I looked up from my desk with my reading glasses securely nestled on the bridge of my nose, while evaluating the new territory threat we had been warned about. It seemed this whole world was going up in a ball of shit and soon every human being alive would be clawing at the very existence of itself. Groban stood in the doorway of my cabin looking at me in a familiar way I had seen him look at me so many times before as a small boy, each and every time that he had done something and was afraid of what I would do or say he would have that same look upon his face. The thing is there was never a thing that he could do to disappoint me, it just wasn’t in him to do so. I wished sometimes that he had indeed been my biological child with Marina, because as much as I loved my son Dax, he showed the characteristics of a narcissistic psychopath. He enjoyed killing, and the brutality of this world excited him instead of causing him to flinch away
That night the brothers were all gathered together around the great fire for a meeting. I walked behind Groban and sat beside him on a tree stump around the warm fire. I didn’t look up but noticed a lot of unhappy eyes on me, Dax was the first to pass a remark. “Seriously Groban, now you have to bring her to our meetings too. This is strictly for brothers not vermin,” Glaring at him Groban smirked, “Dax, I would gladly leave her in my cabin but, for the life of me I can’t seem to figure out why you can’t stay away from my cabin all of a sudden,” Narrowing his eyes at Groban, Dax scoffed but said nothing. Ward entered the circle and took his place at the head of everyone else, he had two elders on his left and three on his right. Swallowing hard I clenched my jaw. I always kept my eyes down not to let on what I was, if I dared look up I would be dead where I sat, Dax and the brothers would kill me.
The next morning as I stood preparing breakfast there was a knock at the door, I instantly felt a lump in my throat as I gasped, I stared at the door as I clenched my jaw but I didn’t make any advances toward going to open it. Groban wasn’t here and he definitely wouldn’t be knocking anyways. Again there was a knock at the door, sighing I decided to slowly make my way over to it. Don’t be scared Laya, you are a white wolf, you are more terrifying than any human standing on the other side of that door, I kept telling myself. I took a deep breath before finally opening it. Somewhat surprised by who was on the other side my brows furrowed, I saw Ward standing right in front of me staring at me as he smiled softly and nodded at me, “Um- Groban isn’t here,” I said instantly looking down. I still felt terrible for the way I had spoken to him the last time that I had seen him, at the time I didn’t know why but soon after realizing that I was pregnant it all kind of
