"Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it."-Judy Blume ………… “What is your name, dear?” The Lycan asks as he breathes out a shaky sigh. “Lara Zane, from the Blue River pack,” I reply to him, mustering all the confidence that I can. “Well, Ms. Zane, your story has some holes in it, but I really don’t give a damn,” He walks close to me. I can sense his strength and power by just looking at him. “What do you care about then?” I ask him, and he smiles. “Good question,” He mumbles as he nods slowly. “What I care about is the werewolf people and their well-being. I don’t give a flying sh*t if you decide to lay in bed with a demon, but you should know that once one crosses that line, one can’t come back from it,” Harvey explains as he paces the room slowly. Everyone is watching him in silence. “I’m not laying with

***Lara Zane’s POV***I am currently in a car alone with Ashton Martins as we drive to the Demon Territory. My sister, Zoe was able to convince our parents to agree to what I was proposing; which was for me to stay in the Demon Territories for a while. Tessa also helped, for it was not a one-man mission.They finally agreed but under a few conditions, and one of those conditions included Ashton Martins escorting me, seeing where I would be staying and who would be hosting me while I stayed miles away from them.The other conditions include me calling them three times a week and visiting on the holidays. They also had a long talk about who I should let touch my body, which was the weirdest conversation I have had in my life. I am not allowed to date any demon under no circumstances, and if I feel like I am in danger in any way, I should find a way to get back home no matter what.I am glad they are letting me do this, but being stuck in a car with Ashton as my babysitter is not how I

***Harvey Martins’ POV***I rise from my glorious throne and the beta turns his face away from me in fear, as he should.“He has eaten nothing at all?” I ask the beta as he leads me out of the room, and he replies slowly, “Yes, my lord.”There are only five people alive who know that I have been holding a demon captive. They are all werewolves obviously, or I would have had an invasion from Zedd’s son in minutes.The little bastard is just like his father; fearless, and a pain in the a**.Both of my children, one of each of their most loyal betas, and I are the only ones with this delicate knowledge. I can’t trust any more than five people, and my children have been warned strongly to keep this secret as they keep their lives.I don’t like staying in this town, it brings back so many pre-war memories. At first, Beacon was the only town we had, but then I decided to create more towns after I drove out all the demons. With hundreds of packs, almost fifty towns, and each pack having a p

A bada** wolf? I laugh at what Bunny just said, though deep down, I feel a sense of new hope. I have never thought of it that way. Could she be right?Or maybe I just want her to be right so I won’t feel broken and like an outcast. “When was the last time that the Moon goddess chose a 16-year-old to be a mate to an alpha?” Bunny questions me, and I scan my mind for an answer.“Um…” I can’t remember the last time that happened, or if it has ever happened before. Holy cow! They could be right! I could actually be special.“You can’t answer that question because it has never happened before…at least in your lifetime. Lara, you are a rare occurrence,” Zayn tells me, and I can't help but smile.“Aww, you look adorable when you realize your worth,” Bunny coos, and I roll my eyes playfully. Zayn laughs in response, and I narrow my eyes at him.“When did you say that we begin training again?” I ask him and he smirks.“I think you know the answer to that,” He replies smoothly, and then he s

I watch Azula and Zayn chase after Bunny as she storms away pissed. She is so angry but mostly hurt. Imagine being lied to about losing someone that you loved, only to find out that that loved one has been alive the whole time but is being tortured. She could have done something.I finally snap out of my small trance and I follow the small group until we all reach Bunny. “Bunny…” Azula stops her by grabbing her shoulder, causing her to stop moving. They look each other in the eyes and Bunny breaks.“I don’t get it, I don’t get why Zayn had to lie to me for all these years,” She cries and Azula pulls her in for a hug. “Because I wanted to avoid this,” Zayn says. “You would have never been okay with just waiting for the right time to get Hamish back,” He adds. “That’s the thing, Zayn. I get that you are the Demon King, but there are certain things that you do not get to call the shots for. You do not get to make the hard choices that belong to someone else,” Azula tells Zayn, and h
