Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 49
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

Kellan sat back down, looking at me all kinds of confused. He furrowed his brows meeting my eyes with his electric blue ones. He had very beautiful eyes, but I could never stare at them for long. Sirens hold most of their power in their eyes, and their songs. Stare in his eyes too long and he could snare me in his siren spell. "Do you remember the pearl mission? The one Emerson got in trouble for?" They all nodded, and I realized that the only person that knows about Kiran is Percy. I'm sharing my truth to them all right now. "Do you remember the gas station we went to after?" "Yeah, the one we got shot in." Tally added."Yeah that one." "Yeah I remember." Kellan said, uncertain where I was going with this. "Do you remember the guy behind the register?""Not really, didn't he run away?" Kellan's brows were so furrowed they were almost meeting in the center of his face. "He didn't run away, I hid him. He's my intertwined, my destined one, my mate. Whatever you want to call it he'

Kiran's P.O.V.A phoenix. I'm a fucking Phoenix. My dad is a fucking Phoenix, the rarest of supernatural and instead of being elated by the news, I'm feeling the need to scream and punch. My dad is stuck with that sadistic psychopath of a scientist that Zerena is trapped with as well. She took my dad there. She imprisoned him to that hell alongside her. She could have pretended to fail the mission or she could have hidden my dad. She could have even tried to kill Alester, but instead she's sitting and waiting because he may have experimented on himself. So what if he did? I am sure Zerena could take him. He's not some all powerful being. He's not a fucking god. I punched the wall, my fist stuck inside it now as the drywall caved around it. I grunted in further frustration as I pulled my hand out of the wreckage. What has Alester been doing to my dad? What is he doing to him now? Yeah my dad may have left me without a word but no one deserves the sick twisted things that Alester doe

Zerena's P.O.V."I fu.cking knew it! Look right here." I held the phone to Everett's face, showing him the picture of the file I was reading. "Once he saw how the healing ability affected each of us, he injected himself with it. He logs his healing process here. It seems he heals better than even I. That son of b*tch. He not only injects himself with things that have worked from his experiments, making them even better before giving it to himself." I let my forehead hit the table in frustration, rolling it against the polished cold wood. So I can't kill him, but perhaps I can decommission him the way he threatens to do to us. I'd love to keep his head in a jar and let him watch me live a happy life without his cruelty. "We expected that. We hoped that wasn't the case, but we expected it. We'll just imprison him. We can hand him off to the council or even the shadow weaver infantry you told us about." Everett tried to comfort me. "No, I don't really trust those elders. I plan on bur
