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!

    Arella's POVToo bad that behind the whole façade was a cheating bastard who couldn’t tell the truth even if his life depended on it!“Here you go,” I said, forcing a smile, as I handed Zane a change of clothes. Despite Kyle being the big and jock-type of guy, Zane was just in a class of his own. The guy was massive and even the stuff that was over-sized for my ex seemed to cling to the big mobster like it was glued on.I wasn’t complaining…!“Why is so much of his stuff here?” Zane growled behind me since I’d turned my back to give him some privacy to get dressed. “His scent isn’t anywhere in the cabin, so he left quite a while ago.”Say--- what?!“His scent?” I echoed bewildered--- wondering where in the Amish culture he came from?I couldn’t help but glance over my shoulder and looked at Zane. For a split s

    Arella's POVI showered quickly and dressed in a loose T-shirt and baggy sweatpants. Rinsing out my uniform, I hung it up to dry before I ventured out again. At first glance, I couldn’t see Zane anywhere but my eyes found him next to the fireplace. He’d been nice enough to put in more firewood, but that apparently was the extent of his manners. Because, of course, the guy was going through MY weapon’s chest!“What the hell are you doing?” I gaped, marching right up to him, and--- yeah, a little bit of fear trickled down my spine. The man was dangerous and something about him screamed: “I’ve killed before and didn’t lose any sleep over it”.No way did I trust the fucker with a gun!But other than my shotgun, my weapon’s chest had a huge lock on it.One that apparently seemed to have gone missing!And no, I didn’t notice it among the flames in the firep

    Zane’s POV“You mean what kind of father pretends that you don’t exist and leaves you to fend for yourself?”Her words slammed into me like a sledgehammer. My heart shuddered in my chest and my gut clenched painfully. My wolf howled and whimpered, snarled, and cried out at the hurt that coursed through me. As if he could feel this pain as clearly as I could…“A selfish bastard!”No!I thought over and over again.No, we weren’t the same!Her father had abandoned her. He didn’t care about her. It wasn’t the same thing. I CARED about my pups! I loved them and that’s why I wanted them stronger than me. I didn’t want them riddled with weakness and delusions of mates. I wanted them to live the best life that they could. Besides, I wasn’t any good for them. I was weak! I couldn’t even keep their mother safe. I couldn&rsquo

    Zane's POVI walked back over to the couch, making sure that she could see me limp before I settled down. She didn’t seem to have anything else to say, because she turned around and started sorting through the pile of metal and plastic on the table. Or perhaps she just sensed that I needed some time to think…Thinking back, I couldn’t remember there ever being a conscious decision where I decided that everything I did – every hurtful and cruel word I said or thing I did – was done in order to protect my children. And the more I thought about it, I was ashamed to realize that, over time, it had become my excuse to keep away from them. It was a lie I chose to believe because I couldn’t face them. I couldn’t face the fact that I let them down. That I failed them. That one day they’d see me---And realize I let their mother die!She was gone because of me. I made them motherless. I too

    Zane’s POV“NOAH!!!”My brother jumped about a mile in the air, slinging the headphones off his head, and in his haste to get up, slammed his leg into the desk. He cursed under his breath before his head snapped in my direction.“Yeah?” he groaned out, as he came to a stance. He was sitting in my chair and, while I didn’t mind, my wolf was lashing out at him. Normally, I would know instantly why my wolf was lashing out at him, but as he was now, it was a coin toss on whether it was because I was angry at Noah for letting Cain skip his classes or because of the seating situation…The office had sort of become my sanctuary, the place I spent most of my days buried in either the pack or company work. It was how I avoided most of the pack and kept him from killing anything he came into contact with. Most of the time it worked, but my violent temper and bloody outbursts had still reached every corner

    Zane's POV“I’m sorry,” Noah said carefully, knowing that I could snap at any moment. “I should have asked you first, but he---”“Shut up!” I snapped, not wanting to hear anything more. I already knew I’d fucked up; I didn’t want it rubbed in my face. My wolf was raging out of control again, and I was struggling to keep him under wraps. I knew that my aura was leaking out from the cracks in my shield, and it would have made most werewolves cower in fear. But Noah wasn’t them and he could take my alpha aura, seeing that we were of the same blood. He did, however, respectfully lower his head and exposed his neck to me. Normally, this would have calmed an agitated alpha, but instead, my wolf wanted to sink his teeth into his flesh and rip him apart.Fucking, insane moron!“Do you have any leads? On the case?” I growled instead, hoping that changing the subject i

    Zane’s POVWaiting, I found myself getting bored… OK, so it had been 5 minutes, but my life was usually very busy. I was the king and between the company, alpha meetings, and generally just running my own pack, I was usually someone who rarely had a moment to myself. And now I was regularly running away to spend time with a human that I was beginning to think was just as crazy as my wolf!But to each their fucking own…I was tired of fighting the beast and, honestly, whatever the infuriating female was doing, it helped. If only it bought me just a little more time, I would take it. Especially now, that I had so much to make up for. So much to make right before I totally lost control of my wolf and he went feral. I had to make sure that my pups knew how important they were. And that everything I did, I did for them…But how the hell did I go about doing that?Even back when I wasn’t

    Zane's POV“What the hell are you doing up there?”Arella’s angry voice clipped the air, and it was obvious she was pissed. Sure, I’d heard her approach, but for some reason, I wanted her to know I’d been up here. I wanted her to know that I’d invaded every bit of her personal space.That wherever she was, I was too…“Did you make these?” I asked instead, holding up another extremely detailed chipmunk, clutching a nut between his small paws. She glared at me for a little while longer and I had to admit that it was sort of adorable when she folded her arms over her chest like that and tapped her foot impatiently.“Yes,” she snapped, breathing in slowly to control her anger. Well, Latinas did have an infamous temper, did they not?I found that I liked it…“Now what the hell are you doing in MY bedroom?” she growled, a

    Arella’s POVZane looked like I’d just slapped him, the information making his brain melt. He lowered his eyes, staring at the floor’s reflection as if it replayed the past. His hands were clutching his knees as though they were the only things holding him together. His anguish filled the space between us, thick and suffocating, and my heart ached at the sight of him unraveling. When he finally looked up, the pain in his eyes was raw, almost unbearable.“No,” he started, his voice barely above a whisper, as he shook his head. “It’s my fault. I should have---”“I know you think that,” I interrupted gently, leaning forward. “It’s called survivor’s guilt, Zane, and it’s a bitch to deal with. But in the end, it’s all in your head.”“How can you say that?” He snapped, his brow furrowed and confusion flickering across his face. “Hel

    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

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

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
