LOGINCOLE. I wasn’t having it. “Where’s Zane?” I demanded. “Why are you asking me?” Martin questioned with a smug smile and spoke again. “You should be nice when talking to me.” I ignored him and nudged him with my shoulder, walking past as Adam followed behind me. I started searching the rooms one after the other and didn’t get what I was looking for. I turned to Adam. “Where did you see the blood?” “Your mother’s room,” Adam replied. We started walking toward it. I pushed the door and noticed the room was cleaned spotless. “Where’s my father?” I demanded. Adam was speechless. I headed out of the room and began calling, “Christopher!” “Who’s calling my name like that? Don’t you have some respect?” Christopher, my father, responded and then went quiet as he saw me. I walked up to him menacingly and demanded, “What did you do, dad?” My father stammered. “I… I didn’t do anything.” “I would be the last person that believes a thing you say. Zane has always been cautious
COLE. “What the fuck did you mean?” I asked. I couldn’t understand. I refused to understand. Adam responded, “The Supreme Alpha is dead.” “And Zane? How’s he doing with the news?” I asked. I heard Adam’s shaky breath. “What is it?” I demanded. “Say it.” “I don’t think it’s the right thing to do now…” Adam said. I threatened him. “Either you talk or God help you if I find out myself.” “Do you brothers just love to harass or…” Adam didn’t finish before I retorted harder.“Adam, spill.” “He’s missing.” “Missing? He wouldn’t leave after knowing our mother died,” I complained. “I know. It’s weird. He got the news and had a nasty fight with your father but then I heard this loud noise and…” “And what? Stop keeping me in the dark,” I begged. “We couldn’t find him. I did find blood stains in the room. I’m not sure it’s his because it was cleaned up before I got the chance after taking your mom’s body to the morgue.” I felt the world crumble. I ran my hand down my hai
SORA. I muttered in my sleep, trying to reach a part where I couldn’t. A gun was pointed straight at me. Then it moved to Zane. I begged out loud, “No. Don’t shoot him.” I ran toward it but my legs wouldn’t work. “Don’t!” The gun fired. My eyes fluttered open and I gasped loudly. A hand touched my chest. I tilted my head and a blurry face came into view. It was Cole. My panic died down as Cole spoke. “It’s okay. It’s me. Everything is okay. I’m right here.” I calmed my breathing and looked up at the white ceiling then back at him. “Where am I? How did I get here? What happened? Did I die?” “Whoa. You’re fast,” Cole said. “The first thing I answer is no, you’re not dead. You would have if Zane hadn’t brought you in time.” His face held something more. “You passed out. You’re in a hospital. The family’s. Actually Zane’s and you’re not supposed to be stressing.” “How long have I been out?” I asked. My voice sounded weak. Cole didn’t answer right away. I watched him clos
ZANE. I stood under the shower and scrubbed my skin hard with the soap. The hot water beat down on my shoulders while I kept thinking the same thing over and over. I could not let my pheromones act up the second I saw Sora. Every single time I got close to him my body just reacted and I knew it would make things worse for him right now. I turned the water colder and kept scrubbing until my skin felt raw. I stepped out and grabbed a towel. My hands shook a little while I dried off. I stared at the clothes hanging in the closet and actually started worrying about which shirt to pick. Black button-up or the plain gray one? I caught myself and muttered out loud, “Zane. You’re not fourteen. It’s not a date.” I raised my arm and sniffed. No pheromone scent at all. Good. I felt pleased with myself for once. Then that deep raspy voice filled my head. “That’s not going to stop anything. You just have to be angry and poof…” I rolled my eyes and answered inside my head, “I am getting s
ZANE.I tilted my head and smiled nicely at him. “Me? Have you gone mad, father?”He stormed, “Talk to me with respect, boy!”I stayed calm. “Why should I do that? After you disgraced yourself?”He got so pissed he lunged at me. Mom’s voice cut through the room loud and clear. “Lay one hand on him and you’ll lose them.”Dad froze. Mom spoke even louder, “Will the reviewers confirm the result?”Two council members stood up. The first one said, “Saint Monica confirms the results are real.”The second added, “Luke Combs hospitals confirm the DNA results also have a 99.99% positivity. Mr. Christopher is the father.”Dad looked back at the paper with horror all over his face. “No. It was Saint Michael’s this morning.”I held up the paper he had seen earlier. “You mean this. I knew you would do the usual bribe so I had three more hospitals do the test in secret.”His face filled with pure horror. I stood up from my seat. “Now that it’s settled.” I turned to Martin. “Let’s welcome my brother
ZANE.A week later a guard brought mail to the front porch where I sat sipping coffee and reading a boring book about controlling the spirit and mind. I wished the book would just end but I kept turning pages anyway.The guard handed it over. “Here, Mr. Zane.”I saw it was from Saint Michael hospital. I tore the envelope open. Before I could read the paper my father snatched it out of my hand in a hurry.He opened it, saw the words, and a big smile spread across his face. He went in jubilating, “I told you, Rose. I told you. I am not the father.”I rubbed my fingers together, took another sip of coffee, and stood up with the cup in one hand and the closed book in the other. I walked inside and found my father shoving the paper in Mom’s face while she sat in her wheelchair.He shouted, “I told you I was right. Don’t you owe me something?”Mom ignored him and turned her wheels away. He kept shouting, “I prove my innocence and you walk away from me.”Mom asked, “Innocence?” Then she look

Chapter 12*****ZANE:“So let me get this straight,” Brandon said, laughing and leaning against the bar. “Your father isn’t giving you a choice on who to be with? That sucks, man.”I exhaled, staring at my reflection in the drink. “You have no idea.”Brandon laughed again. “But it’s kind of funny.
Chapter: 11*****MIRABELLE:“Do you know what it means to be a Blaster?” my mother spoke as she circled me the way a predator circled its prey. She always had a way of making a room feel small and suffocating.I stood there like her plaything while she spoke. “It is an honour to be a part of the B
Chapter: 9*****ZANE:“Brad, I told you not to bring work to me on my off days.

And… Why the hell does his suit look like it’s
