Zerena's P.O.V."You know it's against the law to steal." The older gentleman smiled at me. He wasn't mad for some reason. He seemed amused even. "Well, normally I don't get caught." I deadpanned. "I knew you were coming. It was a trap for Alester's best, after all." He raised his eyebrows.Scientist, damn it. For once you were an idiot. You'll still blame it on us too. "So what now?" I asked cautiously. "Good question. I honestly didn't think he would be stupid enough to send you." He leaned away from the door frame, shutting the door behind him. He was large, larger than Emerson even. He reeked of wolf and gave an intimidating aura. He was an alpha, I'm sure of it. His dark hair was gelled back neatly showing his handsome face clearly. He had high cheekbones and a jaw so strong it could probably break a brick. His tan skin had an almost golden undertone. His dark thick eyebrows raised up as his eyes roamed my body. "You know I could just kill you and take it." I threatened. He

We pulled into the lab and Percy didn't comment. Seems Scientist must be pleased, or at least not angry. Time to try to get Emerson's car back. We entered the house making our way to the center room. Scientist waited for us there. He held his hand out and Percy handed him the vile. I have to remember that I'm not supposed to know what is in it. I watched Percy carefully. He'd been acting for over a year now. He's really good at it. Before tonight I had no idea he was forming a plan. Hell, even Emerson didn't give me an inkling. I hope I can do the same. "Very good. Zerena, were there any problems?" He asked. "The vile wasn't in the safe, but I got it." I answered honestly. I could tell he knew something and this was a testing question. "I'm impressed you still got it. Tell me how's Alpha Everett doing?" I knew it, he knew. Percy tensed, the movement was so small, I almost didn't notice it. "Strong." I answered him."Stronger than you?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed. He se

Kiran's P.O.V."FUCK!" I yelled, throwing my pillow against the wall. There were about a million and one questions running through my head now. I thought she'd be impressed, instead she was nervous. Hell, she was pissed at the end. My blood was boiling. She can't just tell me what to do without an explanation. She can't demand I follow her every whim. I just met her! Yeah, according to Tate I may be hers, but I don't feel that right now. I feel like all she wants to do is control me. Like she wants to put me in a small box and keep me there, opening it to see me whenever she wants. Only she can tell me what I need to know. Only she can introduce me to other supernaturals. That's not how it's going to work. My curiosity won't be satisfied until all my questions are answered. I am a smart man. I don't feel right until I know it all. She refuses to answer a lot of my questions, so how does she expect me to learn? I just want to punch something right now. My blood is still boiling and

Kiran was sleeping on the bed peacefully. He had all kinds of wires sticking out of him. I could hear the beeping of his heart rate on the monitor beside him. He's alive. The sound of his steady heartbeat was easing my own. I felt a presence behind me at that moment, letting me know we weren't alone. I tensed and slowly positioned my body, ready to fight whoever it was. I turned slowly to see two familiar faces. I kept my body tense, but released my fists. It was Tate and the alpha. That explains how Kiran got here, but what exactly happened? "I was beginning to wonder if you would show." Tate muttered. He looked tired and stressed. "Seems you were having fun while he was dying." He pointed to the mark I had Percy leave on my neck. Then he pointed at Percy. "And you brought him here? Damn, you're cold." I was getting mad at his comments. I'm glad Kiran has friends that will defend him, but he doesn't know me. He doesn't know what's going on with me and I'll tear him apart if he kee

Zerena's P.O.V.Left in the dark again, only not alone. I couldn't see them, but I could feel Percy's eyes still on me. I don't know why, but it made me want to shrink down. "So what now Zerena?" Percy's tone was cold. "We pretend to have sex again." I muttered. "At some point pretending isn't going to be enough." Percy warned. "Well at that point, we'll pretend to break up." I snapped. "You think he'd let us?" Percy grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards him. "Probably not." I sighed. This will have to continue for a while. I really need to get better about bending the truth in front of the scientist. I gotta act like me yet not me. It makes my head hurt. I don't know how Percy's been doing this for so long. How do you keep up with all the lies? "So again, what now, Zerena?" He asked cooly."Now we assume he's listening and we moan while we pretend." I answered, frustrated. "I am still a guy, Zerena. There's only so much pretending I can take." He reminded me. Percy may wear a
