XENA’S POV

“Good morning, Luna,” Susan greeted, pushing the curtains opened. “You are up early,” she turned to me. “Did you sleep last night?” She frowned.

How could I? At least not after the act Kael put on during dinner last night, he acted like he was this loving husband.

I took in deep breaths and got down from the bed.

Kael’s voice wouldn’t leave my head.

“You’re mine.” Those words kept replaying over and over again, although half of me liked it but it only felt like I was some property to him—- in some way.

The words looped over and over like a curse. It even kept me awake all night, completely chasing sleep away from me.

I shook my head pushing yesterday's thought aside. Today was finally the day I would start growing my power, I needed to concentrate.

I stood up and walked to the window, staring at the beautiful clear sky, the fresh breeze swept through my face, drifting past me as I basked in the sun's warm light. The song of the morning birds chipped in, servants mov

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The Balcony

    Xena's pov The baby wouldn't stop crying no matter what I did—rocking, walking, humming, begging—he screamed like he’d just been dropped from the moon and my head wouldn't stop pounding. My body felt like it was dragging weights. I couldn’t take it anymore.So, I did the only thing I could. I left the room.I stepped out onto the balcony, pulling the door shut behind me to muffle the crying. The night air was cool against my skin. It was quiet and calm. I inhaled deeply, a small smile forming on my lips like a prisoner just released from an underground prison and haven't felt fresh air in ages. The stars were out, shining like tiny fireflies trapped in the sky. It was very peaceful but not enough to stop the tension rising in me. I leaned on the cold railing and closed my eyes.I was so tired and I needed sleep but I couldn't even close my eyes for a second. I still couldn't get the meeting with the pack out of my head. It was obvious they still believed Chloe and wouldn't accept

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The Pack’s Verdict

    Xena’s POVI sat quietly on the edge of my bed, my arms wrapped around my knees, my mind stuck on the kiss. It kept playing like a broken record—Kael’s mouth on mine, the heat, the tension, the way time froze and my body forgot to hate him. But what was more frustrating was the fact that it felt so familiar— there was this connection, one that couldn't quite be placed. I pressed two fingers to my mouth and shut my eyes. Damn it.What was that?And worse… Why did I want more?We hated each other. This wasn't an unspoken truth. This was real. We obviously despised each other and can't stand each other's presence but yet... he kissed me like he meant it.I was spiraling, sinking deeper into a mix of confusion, anger, and stupid, dangerous longing when the door creaked open.“Xena?”My head snapped up.“Susan!”She stepped in, her arms full with bags. Her long black curls were tied up today, her face tired but smiling.“Oh gods,” I stood up, the weight of everything crashing off my shoul

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The Unforgivable Truth

    Kael's POVI sat in my office, my elbows on the table, hands gripping my head like it was the only thing keeping it from splitting in two. And it was because I had no explanation on why I kissed Xena. What the fuck was I thinking?“Fuck,’’ I screamed, covering my fave with my hands. I just wanted to get rid of the kiss of that witch but I ended up making it worse. Now she must think that I'm just some horny dude that fucks anything when he gets angry. The fuck… that wasn't me. I kept replaying everything in my mind trying to make sense of what happened or try to find something to excuse myself or defend myself but I found none. In fact I found regret on why I didn't go deeper. I didn't know what hit me first—the anger or the need. But before I could think, my mouth was on hers, and gods, I didn’t want to stop.And then she did.She pulled away. Apologized. And ran away. That was the first time I was the one left with red cheeks—- an insult to the name “Kael Noirfang”. And now I

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The Confession

    Xena's pov. It took longer than usual to put the baby to sleep. He kept turning his head, searching, maybe confused like I was. His soft breathing finally evened out, tiny hands curled against his cheek. I stared at his face, brushing back a little curl that had fallen over his eye.He was beautiful. But he wasn’t Kael’s child. I knew that deep in my bones. So why the hell did the test prove otherwise?I was already pregnant when I met Kael. And even if I wasn't pregnant before meeting Kael,we still haven't done anything that would get me pregnant except if the Lycan Lord can make someone pregnant. I kept thinking about it, over and over, trying to make sense of it but nothing made sense. I looked out the window and saw Kael pulled up. He walked out of his car and looked towards my window, I hid behind the curtain— not sure why I did that though. By the time I summoned enough courage to look back, he was gone. I inhaled deeply, looking back at my baby still sleeping like he didn'

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The Mask Falls

    Author's pov The room was heavy with silence, until Orion slammed his fist against the wooden table. The sharp crack echoed across the stone walls. Distracted Chloe jumped in fear, her eyes wide, heart racing. Orion stood by the window, pacing like a caged beast, his hands clenched so tightly his knuckles had turned white."How could this happen?" he barked. "How?!"Chloe hesitated, trying to calm her racing thoughts. "Orion..."He spun around, his eyes blazing. "Don’t. Don’t start with that sweet voice now. This is your fault. All of it."Her lips parted, stunned. "Mine? It was your son who screwed up. He wanted to prove to you that he could be a badass and thanks to him Kael has changed all narratives.”"Ben is an idiot!" Orion snapped. "But you—you should have known better. You’re the smart one, Chloe. You were supposed to handle this."Chloe rolled her eyes. “Ben and Jared thought they could keep it under control.”"Under control?!" Orion shouted. “All that has been happening lat

    Kael’s POVI was halfway through buttoning my shirt when Viktor burst into the office.His face said everything before his mouth did. “We need to talk.”“About what now?” I muttered. My body was still sore, and I hadn’t had more than three hours of sleep. I wasn’t in the mood.He tossed a thick file on my desk. “The High Priestess tested your son’s blood.”I froze. “…My what?”“You heard me. Xena was dragged to perform some confirmation test—-” I cut him off. *Some what?” I snapped, my body acting defensively on its own. “Relax, everything turned out fine and that's why I'm here,’’ Viktor explained. My brows furrowed to curiosity. “What are you talking about?” Viktor leaned forward, looking at me like I owed him something. “The test came back positive. The child is yours.”I froze. “What? The child can't be —-” my words trailed off realizing what happened. Viktor dropped into the chair across from me, breathing hard. “I thought you planned this with the priestess but seeing your
