FAZER LOGIN~VIXEN~I dragged myself out of the woods. Pain seared through every cut on my body.I gritted my teeth and kept walking. I couldn’t tell how long I had walked before I finally came across a phone booth.Swallowing hard, I dialed a number slowly, my hands trembling.After the second ring, the man’s voice came through.I wanted to tell him, but my voice suddenly felt too tight.“Hello?” He asked patiently.I swallowed hard again before I spoke. “It’s me, Vixen. Please come pick me up.”The silence that followed was both pain-filled and heart warming.He told me to stay there and wait for him.After ending the call, I slid down on the pavement, buried my head between my legs and let the tears fall.I had managed to stop the bleeding from the wound on my legs.I knew Kael would come looking for me, but this time, I wanted nothing to do with him.For this reason, I used my own blood to create an illusion that I had passed away.That way, it would give me enough time to escape far away, fa
~KAEL~I gathered Olaine into my arms, holding her tightly against my chest.She was still shaken up, still crying from fear of Vixen’s attack on her earlier.“I don’t know why my sister hates me so much. I should never have come back.” She cried into my chest.My heart tightened at that. I placed a gentle kiss on her hair.“Don’t say that love. She won’t dare hurt you again, not under my watch.”She looked up at me with grateful eyes, her eyes still wet with unshed tears.“I don’t know what I would have ever done without you. In my darkest times, you were the one who helped me out. I am just a lowly Omega. I don’t deserve your love.”Her words struck me sharply, pushing into my heart. Just how much trauma did she go through that made her see herself less than everyone else.“It is I, who doesn’t deserve your love. Omega or not, you are my chosen love. You are the only one who deserves to stand by my side as my Luna.”For the first time, she smiled. She threw her hands around my neck
~VIXEN~I sat there, clutching the bead necklace Paul had given me, my fingers curled so tightly around it they ached.It was a simple crooked necklace with uneven letters spelling Mommy, but it was the only proof I had that any of it had been real.That I had been real.Tears slipped down my face in silence.Then the dungeon door creaked open.I didn’t look up at first, until the voice came.“I thought you might be awake.”My spine stiffened.I raised my head slowly.Olaine stood just beyond the threshold, her expression careful, almost hesitant, like someone stepping into a room they didn’t belong in.“Kael told me I shouldn’t come,” she said softly. “But I didn’t want you to think I was afraid of you.”I laughed bitterly under my breath. “What do you want?”She stepped closer, her gaze drifting to the necklace in my hands.“He talks about you,” she said lightly. “Paul, I mean. He says you used to sing to him when he couldn’t sleep.”My heart clenched.“I didn’t know whether to than
~Vixen~As though to infuriate me, Olaine bent to hug Paul, and even kissed his forehead.“Son, I didn’t think you’d recognize me,” she said with a grin, a smug expression on her face as she winked at me.I remained frozen at the spot, wanting to believe that this was a terrible dream. One I would wake up from.“Mom, dad shows me pictures of you every night. I recognized you immediately. I’m a good boy, aren’t I?”“Of course, you are darling. Mom’s going to take good care of you now,” Olaine replied with a smile.My lips parted, but nothing came out.Paul’s little arms wrapped tightly around her neck, his giggles echoing through the garden.It felt like my heart was folding on itself, so painful I thought I would die.For five years, Paul had known only me.My voice, my arms, my scent, my lullabies and warmth.Or so I thought.And now…He did not even glance in my direction.Olaine looked at me then, her lips stretched into a sweet poisoned smile as she temporarily stopped hugging Pau
~Vixen~I was up before the first ray of sunlight hit, seating in the open prison room that was made for criminals, as though I was one of them.Burying my head between my legs, I let more tears fall.It is almost unbelievable to see how I ended like this.Just then, the locks rattled as someone unlocked the door. Kael pushed the door open and walked in.As soon as he entered, I felt all hairs on my body rise, my heart twisting painfully.“Have you come to mock me, dearest Alpha?” I asked, sarcasm dripping from my every word.For a moment, something flashed across his eyes—something that looked almost like pain.“Vie—”He took a step closer, but I moved back.“What do you want?” My voice shook lightly, but I swallowed hard.“I didn’t plan for… for any of this to happen.”Looking up at him, I scoffed painfully.“Oh really, you didn’t? That’s big news.”“Vixen.”“You slept with my sister, you marked her. I understand you don’t like me, but how could you betray me like this and on our…”
~Vixen~For a heartbeat, I thought I’d misheard her.Olaine’s lips curved like a crescent moon, too soft, cruel. She didn’t bat an eyelid as she lied between her teeth.“You tried to kill me, sister. That’s why I ran. I had to.”The air left my lungs. I stared at her, my fingers trembling against the fabric of my dress as her words began to sink in.“What did you say?”She folded her arms then, a faint tremor in her voice that almost sounded genuine.“You sent men after me. Don’t you dare act innocent now.”For a second, my mine went completely blank. Then, heat flooded my chest so violently I thought I’d explode.“What—?” My voice cracked. “You’re lying, Olaine. I would never—”Then, the whispers broke somewhere behind me.“The Luna tried to kill her?”“Goddess, she is her sister.”“She wanted to marry the Alpha that badly?”I froze instantly. Slowly, I turned, only to meet dozens of eyes gleaming from the shadows of the garden.Guards, Omega and pack members who must have followed m
