Xena’s POV

The ride to the hospital was awkwardly quiet. The men didn’t say a word to me, and honestly, I didn’t want to talk either.

My thoughts were everywhere—my heart still pounding from the whole Jared thing, part of me felt sorry for him and the other part felt curious. I wanted to know more about him. From the few hours I spent with him, I knew he was a good man who genuinely cares for people unlike Kael.

Urgh, that name was more than annoying and now I was starting to feel this sharp pain in my lower back again. Why is pregnancy so hard?

We arrived at the hospital and the guards followed me inside but unlucky, they kept their distance, keeping a low profile. One of them even dressed as a nurse and was attending to patients in the lobby— I honestly have no idea how he managed to pull that off.

I sat down in the waiting area while one of them called Kael’s personal doctor. I looked around, trying to distract myself from the tightness in my chest. Pregnancy was no joke.

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

    Xena’s POVI found myself running faster than a normal wolf, I'm not even sure Kael runs like this and he is a Lycan Lord. I kept running deeper into the house, I had no idea where I was going but I knew I wouldn't like the end but what choice did I have? I had to get far away from Jared who wanted nothing but to kill me now. I couldn’t see him, but I could feel him and that was more than enough to tell me that he was closing in. I kept forcing myself to run as blood flowed down my thighs. I was in early labour. Every time I looked back, I heard his howls behind me, he was gaining in fast and my baby was struggling to get out. Finally, I fell to the ground clutching my belly in pain. Jared in his full ferocious werewolf form lunged at me. I screamed and woke up immediately. Someone held me immediately. It was Kael. “You’re okay,” he whispered against my hair. “You’re okay, Xena. It was just a nightmare. You are safe now.”I curled into him without thinking. My hands gripped hi

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   Return of the Lycan Lord.

    Kael’s POVI stepped into the room and all the noise died. It was like someone had hit pause on the entire world. They all stared at me in shock like I was some ghost coming back to haunt them and maybe I was. I saw death just to prove them wrong and they were going to pay for making me go through all that stress. “You are in my way,’’ I muttered to Orion, gesturing him to move aside with my head. My tone filled with mockery. Orion slowly moved out of the way. He looked shocked but not as shocked as I thought be would be. Disappointing. I slowly walked to my seat, my eyes sweeping through the crowd. Some of the elders shifted in their seats. A few lowered their eyes. Others tried to keep their backs straight like they weren’t scared. But they were not fooling anyone, I could smell their fear from a thousand miles. I walked to the center of the room, standing in from my seat, my eyes sweeping through the crowd again. Satisfied with the fear on their faces, I pulled out my chair, t

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

    Author’s POVViktor paced outside the grand doors of the council hall, his boots echoing against the cold marble floor. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he kept looking out the window. It was almost evening.“Where the hell are you, Kael?” He murmured, biting his fingers, impatiently.It had been days and he hadn’t heard anything from Kael. No message or any clue on where his boss and best friend was and the council had run out of patience. They were eager to get rid of Kael. The thick wooden doors behind him opened with a groan, and a young guard stepped outViktor slowly turned back, letting out a frustrated sigh. He knew he couldn't stall any longer. The elders were ready to give their final verdict. “They’re ready to begin,” he said, his eyes low.Viktor nodded, brushing a hand through his short, dark hair. He took a deep breath and walked in.Since this meeting had to do with the removal of Kael, a lot of people were in attendance. But most of them were with Kael, they

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The hunter's truth.

    Xena’s POVI woke up with excruciating pain, my vision blurry. My body felt so weak that I couldn't feel any part of my body. My breath became heavy the moment I realized I was back in the house. I looked around in fear but my fear turned to anger the moment I saw Jared. He was sitting at a long wooden table, comfortably eating like this was just another peaceful day. He cut into his steak with a calm hand, fork in the other, chewing slowly and sipping wine like we were just couples enjoying dinner. “You are awake,” he said, taking another bite of steak. “I was starting to think I overdosed you.”My chest squeezed tight. I looked around quickly. “Where is she?” I asked, my voice low and shaky.Jared raised his eyes but didn’t stop chewing.“You crooked bastard,” I shouted, trying to get up but I still couldn't feel my legs. I slowly looked down, my heart racing ten times faster than the speed of a cheater. “What did you do to me?” He scoffed, taking a sip of his wine. “Relax, I'm

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   Found you.

    Kael’s POVThe engine hummed low beneath me as I drove down the winding road. I have been driving for what seemed like days and I still haven't heard anything that could help me find Xena. I was completely losing it. My fingers gripped the steering wheel so tight they ached. She better not be dead cause I was going to haunt her soul till she come back to live. The phone rang, cutting through the silence in the car. I didn’t look at the screen. I already knew who it was.I hit the button on the dash. “Yeah?”“Where are you?” Viktor’s voice came through, sharp and impatient.“I’m still looking for her,” I answered. “What else do you think I will be doing?” “Kael,” he growled. “It’s the full moon tonight.”I exhaled through my nose. “Don’t worry about me.”“Don’t worry—?” He snapped. “I also want you to find Xena but your life is more important than hers. You can't bring her here anyways. The council knows already.”“Have I ever failed?” I asked calmly. “What?”“You have known me s

    Xena’s POVTwo days have passed and I have used those two days wisely. I have been resting, watching and planning. I used a walk around the mansion as an excuse to actually look around properly. And everything I found gave off a dangerous vibe but I was still willing to risk it. There were no guards in the hallways. No locked doors or strange things—- except for the sculptures. But everything else made this prison look like a home. And that was what made it more dangerous. The rest of the girls in the house didn't make anything easy for me. They were all brainwashed fools who thought this place was a home and the one who didn't seem to agree to that, weren't really talking. They were all mute. And I couldn't wait for them to finally open up before I hatch a plan to leave. That evening I overheard the women saying that they had to retire to bed early because the next day was going to be busy. I had no idea what was happening tomorrow and I didn't want to know. If anything I wanted
