Dawn’s POV:

The silence that descended upon us was deafening. No one spoke nor ate- well besides Logan who was surprisingly so chill about everything. He dug into his chicken as he looked up at Dad then at mom… and then at Autumn whose face had turned ashen as we speak, and now that I think about it, it wasn’t just fear I was seeing radiating off of her. There was also confusion.

And hatred.

My heart constricted in my chest as I watched her, and the more I did, the more I felt sad… and angry. Ignoring her, I turned back to my parents and muttered;

“Would you care to explain that?”

None of them spoke, and from how stiff they’d become, I doubted that any of them could speak. Mom’s eyes watered and when she couldn’t hold it in anymore, she began to sob. Something about her reaction made me grow quite suspicious and without stopping to think about how stupid it may sound, I turned to her and asked;

“Did you cheat on dad?”

I know, I know. That was a stupid thing to say to someone- anyone,

  • Wanted by her Mates.   078.

    Dawn’s POV:Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, momentarily obstructing my vision. Even my head had begun to bang so terribly and my body trembled; but none of these could be compared to the turmoil happening inside my heart.My heart squeezed, the pain nearly bringing me to my knees but I pushed forward, grabbed Xavier by his shirt and cried; “How? When?”The room was silent and no one tried to break the silence. Amidst this chaos, the only thing I could hear was the sound of my blood rushing through my ears and the way my heart pounded against my chest. I couldn’t bring myself to control my tremor but despite this, I couldn’t help but notice how difficult it was for Xavier to look at me.“Dawn…”“When did he take them?”“I don’t know… I just got a text from him some minutes ago. But I promise you, I’ll get them back safely. I’ll bring them here where they’ll be safe and I’ll protect—”“That was the same thing you said the last time before taking them to wherever it is that y

  • Wanted by her Mates.   077.

    Dawn’s POV:“I only asked to see Zade, not you. So you should return to your room.” Xavier snapped as soon as his eyes landed on me and for a minute, I was stunned to silence. I didn’t move nor speak as I was too shocked. Besides his words, another thing that enraged me was the tone of voice with which he spoke to me. It was sharp, almost dismissing and I couldn’t help but wonder if he was still mad at me for refusing to go with Zade.Angrily, I crossed my arms over my chest and snarled; “No.”“Dawn… don’t be stupid.”That insult slapped across my face so hard that I felt tears spring into my eyes. He probably caught himself immediately because then he added; “This isn’t about me wanting you to move to Zade’s house for the meantime, it’s about something else. Something more important.”“So there’s something more important than my safety to you right now, right?” I growled. I knew that I sounded selfish right now, pompous even but I couldn’t help it. I was mad… and way beyond reasoning

  • Wanted by her Mates.   076.

    Xavier’s POV:My blood sizzled with rage as I stormed through the halls, only stopping when I arrived at the throne room and sat down.I was angry and frustrated, but most of all, I was mad. I was mad at Xander for suddenly resurfacing after several years of being out of reach. I hated that he was still so prideful and entitled even after everything he’s done in the past.. including the deaths of our parents. What hurt me the most was his claim on Dawn, and even though we all knew that she was never going to entertain him, I couldn’t say for sure what he was going to do as regards that or the lengths he would go just to have her.A frown etched its way to my face as I there about the one thousand and one despicable things he could have up his sleeves and the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I was only snapped out of my reverie when I heard the sound of glass shattering and in shock, I sat up, surprised to see that I had squashed the wine glass in my hands from squeezing

  • Wanted by her Mates.   075.

    Dawn’s POV:My encounter with Xavier and his estranged brother, Xander, had me so shaken up that I couldn’t bring myself to come down for dinner several hours later. I no longer wanted to see him nor Ryan because for some reason, I feared that something would come up. It might be Xavier trying to convince me into going with Zade or something, and at this point, it was the last thing I wanted.I even contemplated asking him to take me to the bunker where my family was at but seeing as ‘some vampires’ were still after my life, I quickly decided against it.However, I was soon snapped out of my this when I heard the sound of the door creaking open and with wide eyes, I turned in the direction of the sound, gasping when the pungent smell of rotten flesh wafted into my nostrils.“Zade?” I called out in surprise or should I say shock and when Zade stepped into the room, I let out a surprised squeal. “Zade!!!”He chuckled. “Dawn,”“I missed you!” I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around him as I

    Dawn’s POV:“She doesn’t want to go with you!” Xavier snarled at his brother who simply licked his lips, ignoring him with his eyes trained on me.“I don’t care,” he spat. “I just know that I am not leaving here without her.”As soon as he said that, my blood curdled. Fear like no other sizzled through my veins, causing my breath to hitch in my chest. I didn’t like this… the thought of this, everything. I hated how I was in the middle of it all and how it seemed as though Xander was firm on his decision to not leave without me.“Do you not think she’s old enough to make that decision herself?” Xavier growled but Xander only shrugged.“I don’t care!” He gritted out; “she’s my mate! And that’s all that matters.” Xander growled as he let out a string of profanities from his mouth. The words spewed from his lips almost deafened me, and I shivered, more from disgust than fear. He threatened to kill Xavier… and Ryan, and then even went as far as promising to fuck me close to their graves af

  • Wanted by her Mates.   073.

    Dawn’s POV:The room broke into chaos.One minute, I was screaming, hoping that something in my voice would end this madness, but it didn’t, and the next minute, Xavier was pushing Xander off his Beta while he landed a fatal blow to the back of his neck.Xander growled in annoyance as he struggled to his feet with his hands clutching the back of his neck, and with eyes full with disdain, he snarled at Xavier; “Brother! You dare hit me?!”I rolled my eyes and so did Ryan. The room was too tense, so tense that one could cut the thickness in the atmosphere with a bread knife. My eyes widened when I noticed how Xander pushed toward Xavier but before he could lay a hand on him, Ryan inched closer, his nose bleeding.“Stay back,” he growled, eliciting an amused snicker from Xander.“And if I do not?” He snapped back threateningly but Ryan didn’t flinch even though it was obvious that the other man was stronger by the way he towered over him. “What will you do?”“I have no idea,” Ryan mutter
