XENA’S POV

Chloe hummed like she was dressing up a doll, not a bullied girl being marched off to marry a stranger.

She twisted my hair into soft waves, pinned a silver clip behind my ear, and adjusted the choker on my neck. “You’re lucky,” she said sweetly. “Most impure wolves don’t even get a wedding.”

I didn’t say a word. What could I say? That I felt like screaming? That I wanted to rip her smug face apart?

“You know what would happen if you said no again, right?” Her fingers paused at the back of my neck, pressing just a little too hard. “Your mother’s name would be dragged through the dirt, everything she built would be thrown away into ashes, they would dig her bones and scatter her remains, write her name among the people of the damned where she would be tortured in the afterlife, You want that?”

My jaw tightened, smoldering at her with resentment. She was her mother too but I guess her father's genes were what was passed to her. 

She leaned closer, her breath warm and cruel against my ear. “The sentinels wouldn’t just kill you this time. They’d rip the baby out of your womb and feed it to the dogs. It's best if you listen to father's words or they would be more than a threat.

She pulled back and smiled at my reflection in the mirror. “You look good, much better, a little too much for an impure wolf but good, I hope you can please the ‘slave’ the same way you pleased Mr Lincoln,” she winked. 

I swallowed hard, keeping my anger in check. 

Behind her, Jason walked in. He came up behind her and kissed her passionately like I wasn’t even in the room. I stared at them through the mirror. His hands roamed freely over her body, and she giggled, moaning his name.

Just for a little while, you’ll survive this, you'll grow stronger, then I’ll make them pay. All of them.

A horn blared outside. I flinched a little. 

It was time to face my cruel fate. 

Chloe clapped her hands. “Your ride’s here! You’re going to love it, he even went all out to show off for a lowly mutt like you.”

I walked stiffly toward the door. Jason called out behind me, “Send pictures!”

I glanced over at him, clutching my belly. How cruel is this man? I was even carrying his child but he didn't care. 

I promise you, Jason, you would regret this. 

Chloe followed me down, heels clicking with confidence. Parked outside was the longest, sleekest black limousine I’d ever seen. Even the door handles looked expensive.

She leaned in close. “Don’t forget your place, sister. If you even think about running, I'll find you myself.”

I got in immediately, taking a quick glance at my mother's house, her grave just at the corner of the house. 

“I will come back mother, I promise, hang in there.”

Jason waved goodbye with a smirk.

The driver didn’t say a word for most of the ride. We drove for hours, we passed through many towns and it didn't look like we were going to stop any time soon. 

 “Check the purse beside you,” he said finally. “Your father gave it to me.”

I looked down, I hadn’t noticed it before. I picked it up, opened the flap and froze.

Inside was a vial of my scent-hiding potion. My hands shook as I pulled out the folded paper tucked beside it. 

It was my father’s handwriting.

He listed out the ingredients of the potion, every one. At the bottom, in bold, scrawled letters:

“You’re on your own now, consider this my farewell gift.” 

I didn’t know if I wanted to cry or scream. That bastard, that cold, traitorous bastard. He didn’t give a damn about me, not really. But he gave me just enough to survive, at least just enough to come back for revenge. 

“Thanks Dad,” I muttered, a slow wicked smirk appearing at the corner of my lips. 

“You okay?” the driver asked.

I raised my head up. “Yeah. Never been better.”

The driver started talking about what the slave looked like but I knew most of them were lies… or just over exaggerated but I didn’t care. All I could think about was surviving long enough to protect my child… and destroy everyone who ever touched me.

Finally, after what felt like hours, we finally arrived. 

The mansion was enormous. It was well guarded with a big gate, it was a fucking multiple billionaire dollars estate…it had to be.  It had stone towers, statues of wolves along the drive. 

This slave must work for a powerful Alpha.

They pulled me out of the car and into a dressing chamber. I was quickly stripped, cleaned, and shoved into a gown of pure white satin. A veil covered my face. Pearls were sewn into the sleeves.

They brought me down the aisle alone. I walked barefoot across marble floors, my heartbeat loud in my ears. I recited my vows alone…seriously, the groom wasn't even there and no one seemed to care. 

Just when the vows were over, the door burst open. Every head turned to the direction. 

A man walked in like the world owed him something.

He was tall, broad-shouldered, hair dark like night, eyes glowing silver under his lashes. He wore a long black coat lined with red, and on his chest…

My breath caught.

Pinned right over his heart… was a crest. My brows furrowed in curiosity, wondering where I had seen the crest before. 

The priestess smiled nervously. “Alpha Kael… nice of you to join us. We just finished your wedding.”

My knees nearly buckled. Alpha Kael? My lips parted in shock.

That was the Blood howl pack family's crest, he was Alpha Kael Noirfang. The legendary ruthless Lycan Lord. The monster that even Alphas feared.

My husband… was him.

I stood frozen in place, my blood cold, my child kicking softly beneath my ribs.

He walked up to me slowly, one brow arched, amusement dancing in his eyes.

“Well,” he said, his voice like steel wrapped in silk, “aren’t you going to say hello to your husband?”

My mouth fell open but no words came out. 

“I'm sorry, I should introduce myself properly, ” he smiled, placing a hand on his left breast. “I'm Alpha Kael Noirfang, of the blood howl pack, welcome home, wife.”

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The fall of the Alpha

    Kael’s POVI stormed down the hallway with my fists clenched and jaw tight.What the hell was that?I couldn’t believe I’d actually said it. Shouldn’t you apologize? For what? Kissing her? I was the one who kissed her. I was the idiot who leaned in and made it awkward. And she—she didn’t even push me away, but then I made it worse by expecting her to feel guilty about it.Gods.I dragged a hand through my hair and kept walking, faster now, trying to outrun the embarrassment crawling up my neck. My chest felt like it was on fire. That wasn’t just dumb—it was childish. Since when did I act like a jealous teen?“Me?” I had said. Like I was offended. Like she did something wrong. I was angry at her for walking away—but now I was the one walking away like a brat.I reached the end of the corridor and leaned against the wall.Then, without thinking, I smacked my forehead against it.Thud.It hurt, obviously. Good. I deserved it.Thud.I did it again.“Sir?” a small voice behind me made me f

  • 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
