Zane's POV

“Do you believe in that stuff?” I asked cautiously, trying to look relaxed and not imposing. “Aliens being real and stuff like that?”

She looked up, her eyes scanning mine for a moment. The sofa was placed right next to the fireplace and the chair was just on the other side, making us almost sit across from each other. And I knew what she was looking for. Seeing if I was just trying to make fun of her or if I was interested in her answer. Which was why I was trying to seem relaxed. Because a part of me wanted to know HOW rational she was. A part of me was wondering what else she might be able to believe in. To see if she was open to the possibility…

“I don’t know,” she replied in the end, shrugging, and returning her gaze to the pages. “I guess there's an equal likelihood of it being real as it’s not.”

“What do you mean?” I asked – and yeah, I

    Zane's POV“Wh-what?!” I found myself spluttering, my wolf instantly growling at the book as if it just offended him. “You’re--- You’re into tentacle---things?!”Please, goddess, no!I wasn’t sure why the idea appalled me so much. But just thinking about her in that way – not being able to---“No,” she exclaimed and actually had the nerve to laugh at me. “I’m not. But a big, bulky alien with a matching cock and multiple orgasms.” She smiled and winked. “What girl wouldn’t love that?”Well---“If you want multiple orgasms,” I replied with a cocky grin. “I could give you that!” I didn’t know why, but I found that I wanted to rattle her somehow. To have the woman I knew she was, come apart before me. To see her and not the ranger persona she portrayed. I wanted her smiles and laughter.

    Zane’s POV“Where are you going?” I asked with a frown early the next morning. The sun had barely been up when I had woken up to the smell of something extremely delicious. Arella was in the kitchen and she’d made some kind of omelet. And while it seemed simple enough, it tasted divine!Seriously!If my tastebuds could, they’d build her a shrine and worship her like a goddess!And what was even more surprising was that I’d actually slept! All night. And felt refreshed this morning. I mean the sofa wasn’t made for someone my size and I had kinks and clicks in places I didn’t even know I had places, but other than that…I’d slept!No nightmare.No waking up in the middle of the night, fighting my wolf for control.No screaming at memories that haunted me…I’d just rested!I realized that it was because my wol

    Zane's POVI shook out my fur, loving the feeling of being in my wolf form without feeling like every fiber in my brain was being ripped apart.And perhaps…Perhaps my prayers were being heard? Perhaps I was going to be able to stick around until Cain could take the throne. Until he understood that love was a weakness, that having a mate would only kill him in the end. Perhaps I’d be able to stick around until Eva was mated to someone who could protect her.Perhaps---I took one last look around, wondering if there was something about this place that made my wolf this calm. Or if it was its occupant that had somehow managed to tame my wild wolf. Or if there was some magical component involved.Either way, I wasn’t coming back!I had to go back and do what the king needed to do. I’d just been Zane for a couple of days, and while it had been frustrating at times, I&rsq

    Zane's POVMy gaze slowly went around the table. There were my parents, the previous king and queen. Usually, they’d try and make ideal chatter – chatter that my wolf would usually crush with his overwhelming presence that I couldn’t suppress anymore. My twin sister, Serena, and her mate, Bali, were sitting on my left. And no, I didn’t miss the nervous glances they shared.My brother and Beta, Noah, and my two children sat to my right. The clatter of utensils on glass plates was the only sound filling the room. Everyone ate in tense silence. And never before had I felt more suffocated than I did right at that moment. And it wasn’t just my pacing wolf that felt different. He wasn’t just lashing out at everyone, hell he even growled at our Mom, who only glanced in our direction. Worry and fear filled her beautiful green eyes and the weak part of me wanted to reach out and comfort her. But my wolf wouldn’t let me.

    Warning: Any form of stereotyping--- Bla-bla-bla… you know the drill…!Arella’s POV“But you could probably use that elephant trunk as a walking stick,” I teased, unable to help myself. He was so uptight and easy to rattle I just couldn’t help myself. Oh, and let’s not forget that he was cocky, arrogant, full of himself, arrogant and---Did I mention an arrogant SOB?But despite his flaws, he also had the kind of confident charm that seemed to just work for him. Sure, coming from anyone else, they would sound like an entitled, full-of-themselves brat. But when Zane said all those things he said, they somehow sounded innocent-like. As if he was just stating a fact, not boasting about or hotly putting all his amazing glory on display.Humble he was not!Hell, I doubted he knew the word and even if he looked it up, he’d have a hard time understanding it

    Warning: Any form of stereotyping--- Bla-bla-bla… you know the drill!Arella's POV“That’s it,” I sighed, finally catching a glimpse of the relay tower. “I’m only reading Barbara Cartland and Danielle Steel from here on out.”And just as I pushed away my concerns about Zane, I realized that my concerns about him were just getting started.“Oh, cruds!” I cursed out loud and huffed, seeing the damage done to the relay. They hadn’t just smashed it to kingdom come, they’d wrecked it! Bits and parts of it were scattered all over the ground and it was going to take me forever to find it all.Great!“Well, at least I know one thing for sure,” I sighed as I sat Tiny on a tree close by. “The poachers are either communicating via radio, or they have satellite phones.”Technically, I did have one of those too, but it broke

    Warning: Bla – stereotyping – bla… do I really have to keep doing this?Arella’s POV“Holy fucking---” I cursed out loud, as I – again! – came face to face with a very naked Zane! “What the hell are you doing out of bed?!”The guy had almost given me a fucking heart attack!Not to mention another vivid mental image of the perfection, that was his naked frame.Oh, why, oh why, did he have to show up right in the middle of one of my dry spells? If I’d only had a good boyfriend back home, I wouldn’t be lusting after this guy like a bitch in heat. But if I was going to be honest, not even a stud like my ex, Kyle, would have kept me on the straight and narrow with this guy.Yeah, I had a type!Sue me!Big, hot, and rarely faithful! With Kyle, I thought I’d hit that one-in-a-lifetime unicorn find

    Arella's POV“Put on some clothes!” I snapped, distracting myself with something, and ripped the gun back out of his hands, securing it. “Damnit! You could poke someone’s eye out with that thing!”Hurridly, I went back to the door and put it back in its place. Unfortunately, it once again disappeared from my hands and when I turned around--- it was only to realize that Zane still hadn’t put his clothes on! He had, however, moved even closer to me and was scowling down at me as if I was somehow offending him.With MY shotgun, by the way…“I’m serious!” he echoed, gritting his teeth so hard, I could hear the molders cracking in his mouth. “This is dangerous!”Some instinct told me to back off. Not to look into his eyes and anger him. Something inside of me warned me that he was the apex predator here – and I was the bunny!I should

    Arella's POV“I don’t know if I can!” I replied, desperately grasping onto the pain that had kept me safe for all these years. “You hurt me, Zane! Badly! And repeatedly!”“I’m sorry,” he spoke softly, his fingers brushing against my skin and making sweet sparks erupt up my arm. “I thought I was protecting you.”“And fucking that Omega?” I hissed, hating how it hurt getting those words over my lips. “Just driving the point home?”“I haven’t touched anyone since I met you,” he replied, sounding confused--- and then realization dawned on him. I braced for the inevitable pain of more betrayal and hurt. What I got, however... “One of the Omegas did offer herself to me, but I declined.”I scoffed.“Does that happen a lot?” I asked sarcastically, not believing for a second that nothing happened. He was a man

    Arella’s POV“Wh-what?!”Was all I managed to stutter at the mind-blowing confession Zane had just made. A part of me didn’t even believe him. Yeah, it had to be some sort of ploy to get near me again. His wolf needed it so as not to go mad, or something!Still, I couldn’t stop the way my heart fluttered in my chest…“I love you,” he repeated--- and my damn heart skipped another beat! “I’ve been falling in love with you for a long time. That’s why I’ve been acting like a fucking asshole. I’ve been trying to protect you. Trying to convince everyone that you don’t matter to me, because I didn’t want your death on my hands! But apparently, I’ve been doing a crap job of it because people are making bet pools on when I’m going to mate you.”That--- was a lot of information to process!“You’re unbelievable,” I sna

    Zane's POVWalking over, I checked my wolf, knowing that the beast always reacted badly when talking about the past. And sure enough, he was snarling at the air, as if the memories haunting him were physically hurting him. Hoping to calm him just a little, I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with my angel’s scent. The snarling stopped, but he remained on edge – good enough for now...“It was a year ago,” I began, sitting across from Arella, but finding it hard to remain still. “Some--- rogues… They---they somehow managed to pass the border patrol. Helena and Eva were out in the field that day, having a picnic, when--- when they swarmed the area. They managed to take Eva.”“They kidnapped her?” Arella gasped, horrified.I nodded, remembering the day like a weird nightmare. Everything had been so wrong. The sun had been shining and Noah had cracked some lame joke. Selena and our pare

    Zane’s POVI paused outside the banquet hall, taking in a deep breath to calm my nerves. I had so much shit to make up for, I knew I was up shit’s creek without a paddle. Hell, at this point I was pretty sure the whole boat was gone!My wolf made a weird sound, which sounded a lot like approval. Making an internal check, I realized that the beast was calmer now, taking in her scent that was saturated in that area. He even made a contented purr, wagging his tail like a freaking puppy. I could even let down the mental barrier between us, and he just stood there, urging me to go to her…Bizarre beast!I carefully opened the door--- and had to stifle a gasp when I saw the inside. The hall was alive with color and the soft buzz of preparation. Streamers, balloons, and floral arrangements covered every surface, their cheerful vibrancy bringing life to an otherwise old and traditional wall decor. There were tables set up with

    Zane's POVMy head snapped up, and he quickly explained: “They searched, but they didn’t think of looking beyond their borders. And the second girl told her friends she was surprising her family who lives in another pack. They even got a couple of messages from her, keeping them updated on her journey. They only got suspicions when the warning had come out to the packs, since she fit the description. So they contacted her family directly. She never showed up.”More bad news...“And her phone?” I asked, scrolling through the information that I already knew by heart. “If she kept messaging the family after she was taken it’s safe to assume that it’s her kidnappers who have her phone.”Noah nodded his agreement.“We’ve been trying to track it, but the signal jumps between cell towers, making it impossible to pin down,” he sighed in frustration. “Whoever is d

    Zane’s POVThe next couple of days felt like they lasted a lifetime! The days had dragged on, stretching like an eternity as I struggled to keep myself together. Every moment apart from Arella felt like a punishment, like I was carving pieces of myself away. But I had to do it.For her.This is for her own protection, damn it! I kept repeating that to myself, even as my wolf thrashed against my barriers, demanding her presence, her touch. He didn’t understand—hell, sometimes I didn’t understand—why I couldn’t go to her. But I knew. If THEY realized how fucking much she meant to me, they’d target her, she’d be next. And I wouldn’t survive that.She had called me selfish...If she only knew how fucking painful this was, she wouldn’t be calling me selfish. My wolf was howling and raging against my mental barriers, tearing me up from the inside. His intense o

    Arella's POVHe hissed the words, and I felt his pain deep in my soul. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me back until my spine hit the wall. The sparks erupted across my skin, making me shudder despite my anger. With every breath, our bodies rubbed up against each other, making me have to stifle a moan. I hated how my body reacted to him, but I couldn’t help it. He was everything I wanted, and I had to physically hold myself back not to climb him like a tree and---“I’ve tried, okay? I tried letting you go, but I always come back to you.” He loomed over me, his voice a raw growl. “I’m a selfish prick—just like you said—because I can’t let you go! Even if that means---” His voice broke off and clarity returned to his eyes. He turned away, his words crashed over me like a wave, leaving me breathless.What the---?! He stepped back, raking his hands through his hair. His

    Arella’s POVI stormed down the corridor, my footsteps echoing in the stillness of the palace as guards and servants dived out of sight, not about to get caught in this drama. My chest burned with a volatile mix of rage and hurt, each pounding beat of my heart driving the insult deeper. Mistress! He had the nerve to ask me to be his mistress. The word itself made my stomach churn and a growl slipped between my clenched teeth as my wolf howled out her outrage.What in god’s name had possessed him to ask me that?!I pushed through the winding halls toward my room, my fists clenched tightly at my sides. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and memories. Had I seriously given him the impression that I was that kind of person? Sure, no hate to whoever made their living like that and I could make several arguments about why I thought it should be legalized. But it wasn’t for me! So what in the ever-l

    Zane's POV“Arella,” I began, gesturing for her to sit down. Despite the raging storm inside me, I managed to keep my voice steady and calm and took a seat in front of her. “Thank you for coming.”“I didn’t have much choice, did I?” she said, crossing her arms. Her words were sharp, but the crack in her voice betrayed her.She was absolutely miserable...Seeing her in pain, pissed off my wolf, and he once again was pacing my mind, making my skin itch. I ignored that and the jab, forcing myself to meet her gaze.“We need to talk--- about us,” I said, mentally screaming fuck repeatedly in my mind. Why the hell did I suddenly sound like I was quoting a soap opera script rather than the well-polished King that I usually was?!“OK---?” She drawled, her brow furrowed and confusion flitting across her face. But I could also see her body stiffen and something just---
