XENA’S POV

I stepped out of the shower, the hot steam still clung on my body. I don't remember the last time I had an expensive and relaxing bath.

I wrapped the towel around my body, my hand instinctively rubbing my belly, I was only a few weeks gone but I felt heavy already. I stared at the mirror, muttering a prayer to any god that was listening.

All I wanted was the safety of my child, he or she shouldn't have to come to this world and pass through everything I passed through.

My hair dripped water down my back as I shuffled slowly into the room. Susan was already waiting for me by the bed, her arms crossed, a worried crease etched into her brow. She was always a call away.

“I brought the bandages,” she said gently, her eyes scanning the fresh bruises blooming across my skin. “You ready?”

I nodded, my teeth sinking into my lower lips as I removed the towel, placing it on the bed.

I sat down nervously, using my hand to shield my stomach a little. It would be game over if she foun

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   She's your sister.

    Xena’s POVThe road back home was quiet. Kael didn’t say much during the drive or when we were in the plane, he had returned to his annoying and dickhead personality. His jaw was clenched, his eyes focused on the road ahead like he was trying to drive away from something in his mind. When we finally pulled into the pack house compound, he killed the engine and looked at me. “I have to take care of something. It's urgent,” he said. Unfortunately I was too slow to get the message. “Don't tell me you want me to walk you inside,” he frowned. My hands moved at instinct, I opened the door and got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me. The car started almost immediately, driving back to the gate. I rolled my eyes, letting out a faint scoff. I was back to a place where I'm constantly reminded that my secret could be out anytime and they could kill me for it. The door burst opened and Susan ran straight to me, arms wide open, and pulled me into a hug that almost killed me.

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   Back to the Den.

    Xena’s POV. I stared at the pendant in my hand like it was some ghost from the past. My fingers trembled as I traced the small engraving at the back.This wasn't just any type of pendant. My mother had made me specially for both of us, I could still remember that Chloe was so pissed that she broke hers. Chloe insisted that she was not going to wear the same thing with an impure wolf, so she broke hers and grinded it to shreds then threw the dust on me, that was how it became just me and my mother. So how the hell did this piece get here? I looked up at Kael, who picked up his plates. My mouth opened but no words came out, I was too scared to talk. “But… how?” I whispered again, still looking at it.Kael sat back down, leaning back on his chair. “That was what I was hoping to find out?” “Where did you get this?” My voice cracked as I looked up at him. “Kael, this pendant was made specially for me and my mother, there is none like this except ours.”“Then I guess it is a popular

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.    A new sign.

    Xena’s POVI couldn't do it, I just couldn't go through with it. This wasn’t right. I can't just leave like that and besides, Jared might be sweet and all but he doesn't really have the means to protect me and my baby and most importantly, I don't know him too well. I pulled my hand away and shook my head slowly.“Xena?” he asked, confused.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I... I can’t go.”“Why?” His voice cracked. “You said you wanted to leave.”“I thought I did,” I mumbled. “But I don’t know anymore. I just... I need to go back.”He stared at me like I had betrayed him. Maybe I had.Without another word, I turned and walked away. I didn't want to but it was the best choice. I had no option. The guards led me to the car and we drove home. By the time I got back to the house, my feet hurt and my head felt like it was full of bricks. The moment I walked in, I froze, my nose flaring up. Food. Perfect timing. I was thinking I was going to die out of hunger. I followed the scent into the

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

    Kael’s POVThe loud crack of bullets was all I could hear. Bang. Bang. Bang. My hands were tight on the trigger, my shoulders stiff, and above all my skin was covered in sweat. And My shirt? Who knows where that ended up, perhaps somewhere in the dirt probably.I aimed at the dummy in front of me but didn't pull the trigger. My mind went back to Xena. I still can't believe she slapped me. Who does she think she is? And who the hell does Jared think he is? He has no right to teach my doll face anything, I bought her, I should be the one to break her and make her— it was my right not his. I shot the dummy in front of me that was already shredded but I kept shooting the same place over and over again until I was satisfied. “Don't you ever run out of bullets?” Viktor asked, walking closer. I glanced over at him, picking you another gun. “I ain't a billionaire if I can't afford some bullets,” I replied simply, loading another gun. “You always shoot things that can’t shoot back?” “W

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   A way out.

    Xena’s POVThe past hours have been hell, I couldn't concentrate on a damn thing no matter what I tried. My mind kept going back to Viktor’s words, Kael’s madness in the backyard. I was starting to feel sympathy for the devil. What am I doing?” I asked myself several times but no answer came to me. I was seriously confused. I didn't want to feel this way but here I was feeling pity on Kael. But if Kael was impotent, what about the child they said he killed? Wasn't that his child?“Fuck,” I cussed slamming my hand on my forehead. The more I keep asking myself questions, the more I end up in a loop hole. I needed to breathe. And there is one place in the world where I could go and do that— a bookstore. “I want to go out,” I told one of the guards who was passing by. He came at the right time. He blinked like I’d just told him I wanted to climb Mount Olympus.“Where?” he asked.“The bookstore.”“I don't know,” he muttered, checking his wrist watch. I raised a brow, folding my hand

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   Shattered bonds.

    Xena’s POVI was curled up in bed, knees pulled to my chest, my cheeks soaked with tears that wouldn’t stop no matter how hard I tried. My head was pounding, my throat raw from crying. Everything Kael said kept playing in my mind like a broken record. His words didn’t just hurt—they crushed something deep inside me that I didn’t even know could still break.The door creaked open and I didn’t even bother to look. I thought it was one of the maids. Maybe they came to bring food I knew I wouldn't eat and I knew they knew that too. “Xena,” Viktor called. My eyes widened in shock and I sat up immediately. What the hell was Viktor doin here?“Can we talk?” he asked. I wiped my face with the back of my hand and turned my head slowly. He was leaning against the doorframe, looking nothing like the cocky, sarcastic asshole I usually saw. He and Kael were definitely birds of the same feathers and should consider dating. I sniffed and sat up. “If you’re here to say Kael sent you to threaten
