~ZAYDEN

I had never given death a thought.

I mean, everyone knew death was a given, but I had never actually though of dying. Not once. Not ever.

But as Derek pressed the trigger, my heart lurched into a stop. The world stopped spinning, and for a brief moment, I felt as though I was suspended in time.

Ava. Axel. Dahlia.

Their names flashed across my mind, and I felt so proud of myself that even at gunpoint, they were the ones I thought about.

No one else but them.

My family. The people I owed everything to.

During that brief moment, I wondered how our life might have turned out if there was no bad guys, like the one standing before me, in our lives.

Then Derek's finger pressed down on the trigger, and the moment passed.

I couldn't move as the bullet left the gun, and for a second, it looked as though the bullet wasn't going to hit me.

But then it went through my arm, and the

    SPICY SCENE ~DAHLIAZayden left the hospital a few days after he woke up. I was with him when he was discharged, and as we drove home, I could not help but stare at him.He was alive. He was alive and well, and he wasn't going to die. "Are you going to watch me all through the drive?" he asked, and I shrugged before turning back to face the road. "I just...you're alive. You're alive and well. It's so..." I trailed off, the words dying in my throat. "You can look at me all you want when you get home, so please face the road and get us home safely. Unless you want me to drive?" I rolled my eyes at him. "You're not driving in this condition. Just shut up and stop distracting me," I snapped lightly. He chuckled and said nothing else, leaning back on his seat and saying nothing else. Comfortable silence stretched between us. After my totally unplanned proposal a

    ~EDDAMy nerves were jittery as I waited for Zayden to reply. I knew it was a kind of a long stretch to expect him to respond to my text message, but a part of me was holding out hope. I mean, Dahlia, in her anger against me, would have told him about my sneaky visits. Obviously. And while she might see it as me breaking the rule and disobeying his law, Zayden had to see my real intention behind doing what I did, right?He had to see that I broke the law just to see him. And if he didn't understand how much he meant to me then, if he didn't see that I would do anything for him just because I love him, then he was as blind as that stupid woman cosplaying as his Luna. My feet tapped nervously against the floor as I waited, and when minutes passed without a response from him, my heart fell. Zayden wasn't going to reply. Angry tears sprang into my eyes, and I bit back a groan of frustration. What would it cost him to take my side

    ~ZAYDEN"Let's get married."Dahlia's voice was resolute, and there was no mistaking the resolve in her eyes. I slightly pulled back from her hold, wanting to hold her gaze completely. "Are you sure?" I asked, and she nodded once. "Yes I am. I know I said we needed time to think about it and all of that, but I...I lied. I was mad at you and I didn't want to get married to you so my original plan was to delay it as much as possible. At least until you got the message without me having to spell it out for you," she stated. Dahlia's gaze filled with tears as she spoke, and she swallowed a lump as she paused. I took her hands in mine, my touch soft and gentle. "I understand. Are you absolutely sure that this is what you want though? I asked. I needed to be sure. I needed to know that she was saying all of these because she really wanted us to get married, and not because she was caught in the moment.

    ~DAHLIAWatching Edda's face turn pale with fear gave me immense satisfaction. Blood drained from her face, and she stared at me with her jaw hanging open. "You're kidding, right? You are not even the Alpha, and the guards don't submit to you. Is this another one of your ploys to make me believe you're more than you are?" she quipped, trying to sound brave. But I heard the underlying quiver of fear in her voice. I schooled my expression into one of neutrality as I stepped even closer to her."I am not trying to make you believe anything, Edda. You don't have to believe me," I deadpanned, and turned to face the guards. I was about to give the order on how to deal with her when she interrupted me. "Fine. Have me killed. That will make you happy, will it not? Just fucking kill me and be done with it. But when you're alone, Dahlia. When you have no one to put up a show for, I want you to think. I want you to remember ho

    ~EDDAZayden still hadn't woken up. I knew this because I sneaked into the hospital to check up on him, and for my greatest surprise, he was still unconscious. My heart was in tatters. I wanted to be with him, to stay at his side and hold his hand until he woke up. But I could not. Even getting into the hospital to spy on him was harder than I expected, and I almost got caught. I could not afford for that to happen. That didn't stop the bitterness I was feeling from spreading though. I hated seeing him like that, lifeless and unmoving. For a moment, I thought he was dead. But then I saw the machines hooked up to him, and I knew that he wasn't dead. He was alive. But only barely. My hands curled into fists as I walked away. It has been about a month now. What if he never woke up? What if one day, the doctors decided that he was taking up too much bedspace and switched off the machines?They wouldn

    ~DAHLIAThree weeks, twenty one days, five hundred and four hours, thirty thousand, two hundred and forty minutes.That was how much Zayden had been unconscious for, and he wasn't awake yet. I spent all my days in the hospital, never moving from his side except to take my bath, or to eat. My kids stayed with my adoptive grandfather, and Leo brought them over every once in a few days. They were okay. But I was not. My heart was heavy. I took Zayden's hand in mine, and I hated how unmoving, how totally still he was. Tears filled my eyes, but I blinked them away."Hi, Zayden. I hope you can hear me. I miss you so much. I am sorry for whatever I might have done to you, but I just...I was trying to tell you not to come. That I would find a way to get out of Derek's madness. But the link wasn't working. I tried so hard to activate the mate bond, but nothing worked. And then you came, and I...I am so sorry. This i
