XENA’S POV

I didn’t hear him come in, one moment the moon was shining across the floor, the night breeze drifted in, and the next—he was leaning against the doorframe like sin himself.

His black shirt was unbuttoned, his tie undone and his cuffs rolled up. His lips curled into a faint smile as he walked in.

My jaw dropped as my eyes licked his bare chest. He was fucking hot, his ice blue eyed were glistening in the dark, his dark shoulder length hair was packed into a loose bun.

I swallowed hard, avoiding his gaze.

"Miss me?" Kael asked, his deep voice dripping with danger.

I inhaled deeply, darting my eyes left and right.

I was curled up in the corner of the king-sized bed, a laptop open on my thighs, spreadsheets from half-finished business plan—his business, now partially mine.

“You are up late, don't tell me you were waiting for me,” he smirked, sitting down beside me, his hands slowly placed beside me.

I shifted uncomfortably, trying to hide the tension building up in

  • Marked by betrayal, bound to the Lycan Lord.   The weight of evidence

    Xena’s POVThis wasn't how I wanted to start my day? I had planned to stare at myself in the mirror all day trying to figure out what the hell happened yesterday but I didn't even have the chance to see the first sunlight before my phone started blowing up. The moment I saw the news on my phone that Kael had been arrested, my world broke. How was Kael get arrested? Why, was the problem. Who wouldn't want to see Kael behind bars. But seriously, what the hell happened? The news was everywhere. Social media, news headlines, gossip pages. The video of him crawling out of a burning car and how he was dragged to the police station was blowing up the internet. I don't think any celebrity has experienced this kind of attention.I rushed to the police station. By the time I reached the police station, the crowd outside was insane. Reporters with flashing cameras, fans screaming his name like it was a concert. Some were crying. Others were waving signs. “Free Kael!” “He’s innocent!” “Alp

  • 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'
