Percy slowly made his way to the bed. I backed away as best I could, but the dizziness was seriously debilitating. His hand caressed my cheek gently, remorsefully even. His eyes, although overtaken with magic, still seemed torn. "I'm sorry Zerena. I'll try to be quick." He sounded like he could almost cry. I certainly was. Percy was nothing, but gentle. He was slow to undress me, which did nothing to prove his words of being quick. He stood up undressing himself, showing me the toned muscles I didn't know he had. Apparently Percy had gotten a tattoo at some point that he told none of us about. It was a black hole over his heart, leaking black fluid over his chest with small stars and planets inside of it. He climbed over me again, holding his weight on his elbows. He inhaled my scent once more, making his erection twitch over me. He wasn't small, but thankfully he wasn't as well endowed as Kiran. Percy's erection poked at the entrance of my core, making me coil in response. "I'm so

"You're not going back." Kiran's nostrils flared. He was furious. "I don't care about that scientist, Zerena. You can't go back there. He had you raped!" I was letting the treacherous tears silently run down my face as Kiran spoke. He paced in front of the bed, and I just watched him march back and forth. He had been more understanding than I thought he'd be. He didn't blame me one bit. He held me for a while as I sobbed, but once I calmed down, he riled up. "I have to go back. I have to make sure he hasn't experimented on himself. I have to look at his research. I have to take him down, Kiran. If I truly want to be free of him, I have to take him down." I wiped my tears as I spoke, keeping my voice strong despite my emotions. "Zerena, please." He knelt in front of me beside the bed. "Don't go back, stay here with me." His molten gold eyes pleaded with mine. I wish so badly that I could say yes. I want nothing more than to stay here with him. I want to curl into a ball beside him

Kiran's P.O.V. "I have to go. I am sorry Kiran. I really am." Her kiss lingered on my lips as she left. How could I ever be mad at her for what happened? I wish she didn't have to go back. I wish I could fix this for her. She can't stay there much longer. I feel like I am losing my mind. "What happened?" Tate looked at me, very easily reading my emotions. "Alester." I seethed his name. I explained everything to him that Zerena had just told me. "Goddess." Tate was just as lost as I was. We were stuck. There is literally nothing we can do to help her right now and we know it. I went to punch the wall, my frustrations bubbling over. Tate grabbed my wrist before my fist made contact. "Don't break the walls. Come with me, I'm taking you to pack lands. You could probably use a good sparring lesson. I'll teach you to fight." Tate's eyes were very serious. Something is working up in that brain of his. I nodded, grabbing a shirt and pulling it on. Zerena at least has my shirt on her r

Zerena's P.O.V.Working on two hours of sleep again. That damn alarm woke me up before I was ready. I woke up a lot throughout the night with nightmares of Alester and Percy. I was drenched in sweat and I knew I had been screaming in my sleep. I was not ready to get up. Everett did say he would have the cops here this evening. Alester is going to have us help him hide everything incriminating as well as hide ourselves. We were all in the main room, and Kellan was staring daggers at me. I wonder what he's thinking, how he feels about trying to come into my room. "It seems someone has concerns about me. Cops will be here to search the place this evening. You all know what to do. I expect it to be done within the hour." He tapped his cane on the floor, dismissing us in a way. "Yes, sir." They all responded. I couldn't bring myself to say it and he caught it. "Zerena, was last night's punishment not enough for you. Do you need more?" He narrowed his eyes on me. He wasn't having this a

My anger was out of control and my gaze was fixed on Kellan. This isn't going to end well if I don't calm down soon."Zerena." Kellan whispered my name. It was almost a plea to give him some form of attention. "You need to stop, Kellan." Percy warned him. "You don't have room to talk, Percy. You literally slept with her last night because of some stupid potion Alester made. You can't judge me." Kellan defended himself. "At least, I know she enjoyed herself with me." Last night's events flashed before my eyes and I snapped. I went to punch Kellan, but Emerson held me back. I called on the shadows all around us, and I wrapped each one around Kellan, holding him in a cocoon of shadows. I began to squeeze him inside of it. "Zerena, stop!" Percy yelled at me. I couldn't though, this darkness in my heart was taking me over. I squeezed again, causing Kellan to turn red in the face. He struggled to get a breath of air in. "You're going to kill him." Emerson's large hands shook my should

Everett and I decided it would be best to have Kiran back home before Jason's pack arrives. We don't know how Jason's pack is and I don't need Kiran getting into a fight with a strange wolf. I'm already too on edge not to murder anyone that hurts him. Can't have this alliance falling apart during its first meeting. I was taking a stolen moment with Kiran before either of us had to leave. He and I were walking together around Everett's pack land as he handled business. Tate hung back with Ivan at the training grounds. "Teach me to fight." Kiran's voice cut our comfortable silence. His words surprised the hell out of me. "Are you sure about that? I'm pretty ruthless." I teased, but he just nodded his head. "You're the strongest person I know. Teach me, Zerena." His voice was seductive like he was asking me to sleep with him not pummel him."Only if you promise not to hate me after." I smirked at him. I was curious to see how strong he was. "I promise." The corners of his lips pulle

"Tate she wasn't even serious with you. She didn't use her shadows once on you. I promise you she's stronger than what she just showed you." Everett laid it out plainly for Tate. Everett then turned to the crowd. "Tate is still the strongest, under me, in this pack. Do not make the mistake of thinking he isn't. It just so happens this woman here is on another level than most. She did beat 3 alphas within 10 minutes." If he didn't address the pack they would believe Tate to be weak. That's not a good thing as it could throw things off balance for them. The pack all looked at me in disbelief. "Alpha, there's no way." One of them retorted. He was tall and lanky, and lacked muscles of any sort."Zerena." He motioned for me to show them an example of my power and I smiled. I used my new strength and training to control all the shadows in the room at once. I contorted everyone's shadows to wrap around their bodies, snaking up and around their necks. No one could move as I began to squeez

Barlowe. I kept repeating the name until my body ran cold. 'His name is Zion Barlowe' Kiran's voice ran through my head. No, nope, Nuh uh. There's just no fucking way. No, I refuse to believe that of all the people on this planet I managed to somehow kidnap Kiran's father and bring him to this hell. There's no way. He can't be. I swallowed hard as the realization was hitting my gut with a fury of guilt. "Zion, do you have a son?" I asked him, wanting to be sure. "I do. Although I don't know where he is now. We don't talk. I haven't been in his life for the past few years." He hung his head in shame. Fuck me, man. I pinched the bridge of my nose, closing my eyes for this next part. Will it ease my guilt if I don't look at him when he answers my question?"Is his name Kiran, by chance?" I peeked at his face as he stayed silent a while longer. "You can't kidnap him too. He doesn't even know this world exists. He isn't a phoenix like me. Leave him alone." Zion now stared at me the
