Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord. Hunted.
Xena’s POVI stayed in the house the whole day patiently waiting for the buyers, I wasn't sure why but I just felt should be there. My body ached from the contractions, faint but constant, and just enough to keep me on the edge. Kael had been gone since morning, out at the range again. I didn't know what it was with him and those horses. But whatever it was, I wasn't a little bit curious. I had business of my own. I paced the living room, then moved to the hallway, then back again. Every now and then I’d stop, take deep breaths, drop into a squat, hold it, breathe again. The exercises helped with the pain, helped keep my mind busy. But only a little.The day was really long. I looked out the front window more times than I could count. The buyers were supposed to come, but they didn’t. And no way would my step father call off the deal because I told him too. But most importantly where was he? I haven't seen him all morning. Selina came home later, she looked like she had just esca
Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord. A bid on my life
Xena’s POVI walked back inside the house with the wind still howling behind me. My chest felt hollow, like I’d left a part of myself back there at the grave, along with everything I had been holding in for months.When I walked down the creaky stairs, Kael was leaning against the dining table with his arms crossed, his eyes dark but calmer than before. He looked up as I approached.“I’m called Jared,” I said, voice firm even though my heart was pounding. “He’ll come over soon.”Kael raised a brow. “I'm giving you a chance to save your life,” he paused for a beat. “He might have escaped Susan's people but he can't escape me. If I smell that he is a threat I will kill him.”“He knows about impure wolves. He might help hide it better than just pretending everything’s fine. And… I trust him,” I added, though I wasn’t sure if I said it for Kael or for myself.Kael’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he nodded. “There are rumors,” he said slowly, stepping forward, “about a potion
Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord. Our fate.
Xena's pov. “Hey mum, how's it going?” I chuckled between tears, standing at the foot of my mother's cold grave. The cold wind carrying whispers of her cheerful laugh. I didn't bother to hold back the tears, I knew she would understand. I wasn't weak, I was just tired. I stared at the flowers in my hands, unsure of what to do with them. Part of me felt I had no right to come back to her grave, I was the reason she was six feet deep in the soil. The other part wanted to join her there. She was my only source of comfort. “What should I do mum?” I asked with a faint chuckle. “Is it nice in there? Are you lonely? Or do you hate me for calling you late at night?”Silence. Except for the wind brushing through the dry leaves on the ground. “I'm sorry, mum,” I said, finally breaking down. “I know you said that I should always be strong and stand up against people who think that I'm just an impure wolf, I really tried but I couldn't. I will always be an impure where my fate will be decided
Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord. I was handsome.
KAEL’S POV. I stared at the mirror like it was a death sentence. My reflection looked back at me—but it wasn’t me. No. This was some cursed, pimpled version of myself. A cruel joke. An evil twin from the acne realm.“What the hell is this?” I whispered, slowly leaning closer.My face was covered in acnes. one zit on my forehead. A red angry one. Another was seated on my left cheek—shiny, swollen, and filled of pride. And wait—was that a whitehead on my chin?!“Nooo!” I screamed and slammed the bathroom counter.Xena flinched behind me. “Kael, I’m so, so sorry—”“Shut up!” I spun around. “Don’t say a word! Not a single cursed word, Xena!”She blinked, her face pale, lips parted. “It was a mistake. I—I didn’t know it was foot wash. I thought it was body soap.”“Mistake? A mistake?” I pointed to my face. “This—This is not a mistake. This is sabotage! A crime against beauty!”I marched back to the mirror, rubbing my face like I could erase the zits just by touching them. Of course, I m
Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord. Caught in the act... sort of.
XENA’S POVKael was mad. Like, really mad. He didn’t say a word as we walked back into the house. Manure dripped off his hair, down his shirt, onto the floor with every step. He smelled like a dead cow soaked in expired eggs. I tried not to laugh—I really did—but when he caught a glimpse of himself in the hallway mirror and shook his head slowly in disbelief, I had to cover my mouth.“I look like a cursed scarecrow,” he said quietly, eyes narrowing at his reflection.“I'm sorry,” I muttered, trying my best not to laugh. He turned to me, and for a moment I thought he’d finally lose it. But then, to my surprise, his voice softened.“Are you sure you’re okay? That horse nearly crushed you.”I blinked. “Me?”“No one else is here,” he frowned. That's scary. Kael is thinking of me— or he is just a thinking of the baby. That would make more sense. I tilted my head, staring at the dirt running down his jaw. “I'm fine,” I forced a smile. “Thank you but you should go clean up.”He sighed an
Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord. Too close for comfort.
XENA’S POVI stared at the bed like it was some kind of trap. There was no way I was going to sleep here. This was my room, why do I have to share it with a stranger. Why do I have to share it with Kael?“We shouldn’t even be here,” I muttered, arms folded as I stood by the wooden bedpost.Kael leaned against the wall with that annoying smirk on his face, his arms crossed like he was enjoying my misery.“Well, plans change,” he said simply, kicking off his boots and stretching like he owned the place.I glared at him. “You promised we wouldn’t stay.”“I changed my mind.”I remained tense, my eyes watching him as he climbed the bed. He turned to me with a smile. *Relax, I'm not like your step father who can't control himself,” he smiled, adjusted his pillow, and faced the other side. “I hate you,” I muttered under my breath.He shrugged like he didn’t hear—or didn’t care.“You can sleep on that side,” he turned to me again. “You can sleep with a knife if it is going to help you calm
