Chapter 301: The Coven

Zane’s POVThey all stood up at once, a serious expression on their faces.“Come with us,” the one in the red tunic said.“Why?” I sighed, annoyed. Now that I knew these breeders were nothing more than witch-crazed, useless humans, I didn’t want to spend another second with them.I had to focus. I had to get out of here.“You heard her,” the one in the gray tunic said. “It’s time for the bonfire.”“Right,” I rolled my eyes. “So they can brand me. And then I can never escape.”They looked shocked by my flippant tone. “This is your initiation. Into the Brotherhood. I suggest you take this seriously.”“I don’t want to be in your brotherhood,” I told them.They all gasped.“I know this is hard for you to understand. But I did NOT come here willingly. I’m a lycan, for crying out loud. Do you have any idea how powerful I am?”“Then why don’t you just leave?” They looked very offended. I was pretty sure one of them was even pouting. I felt a little bad. I hadn’t meant to upset them. They wer

Chapter 302: Power Source

Zane’s POVI felt my knees buckle but Brinsle caught me by the arm.The wrongness permeated the air, as thick as the smoke from the fire. Something wasn’t right here. It was the coven. It was the way they…They were all identical, somehow, in some way.I saw Lucinda then. The sight of her pulled me from my thoughts.She walked to the front of the coven. They all turned their heads back towards Lucinda, in complete unison. She was standing in front of the bonfire now, facing the coven. She had a silver knife in her hand.The knife was to brand me with, I assumed. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was painfully wrong. That’s NOT at ALL what the knife was for.I glanced around, looking for Callie. She had to be there, somewhere. But all I saw were a slew of unfamiliar faces. How many were there? It was hard to tell. Every so often, I would see a set of eyes. But then it seemed to disappear.No one spoke. Not even Lucinda. The silence was unnerving.The humans stopped far behind us. The

Chapter 303: Sullivan Black

Zane’s POVShe smiled sardonically at me.“You think you’re the only one with power?” she asked, using her mouth.“Is that what that was?” I asked, breathless. I was stunned by what I’d just seen. It was a power so raw, so pure, so limitless. It was awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time.NO ONE should have that much power.“Yes, that was my power source. And I know what you’re thinking.” The fire crackled behind her. “Having that much power is dangerous. And you’re right. But only if the power is in the wrong hands.”She came towards me and held out her hands, palms up. “But these, Zane, these are not the wrong hands.”I looked at her quizzically. I was only beginning to understand the depth of the power witches had. I found it odd though. They never wielded it. All those years ago, when the werewolves and the witches fought, why hadn’t they just obliterated us?They clearly had the power to do it. The power Sullivan just showed me could have wiped away the werewolves, easily.

Chapter 304: The Lycan King Kneels for No One

Zane’s POVMy eyes flashed to the silver knife in Lucinda’s hand. I assumed they would use the knife to brand me in some way. I was wrong.Lucinda stepped to the side of the fire. Then she waved her hands and a rope of green light shot out from her fingers. The green rope attached to the knife and I watched, stunned, as she tossed the knife into the fire.“Kneel,” Sullivan told me.Kneel? For her? Was she crazy? There was no way in hell I was going to kneel. The Lycan King kneels for no one.I noticed that the coven was so silent, it was though they were holding a collective breath. They were waiting for me to kneel. I glared at Sullivan.No. I would not kneel. I didn’t care how much power this bitch had. I was the Lycan King. I kneeled for no one!“You can do whatever ritual you want to me. But I will NOT kneel for it,” I seethed at Sullivan.“Is that so?” she asked. Her eyes flitted up and down on my face. Then she chuckled softly and took a step backwards.“Falcon Crest Coven, did

Chapter 305: Branding

Zane’s POVI waited for the pain. I clenched my jaw and waited. I had no idea where she would cut me, but any second now, the knife was slash at my skin.The red hot knife that had been heated in the bonfire.Any second now.I waited, on my knees, Lucinda’s hand still on my head. The coven had stopped chanting. The only sound in the night was the sound of the crackling bonfire.One second passed. Then two.The knife was up in the air. It would come down on me. Any moment now.Three seconds. Four.What was the hold up? The anticipation was killing me. Just get it over with, I prayed to the moon goddess. Whatever pain this ritual was going to inflict, just do it already.I was held in place but some sort of spell.Waiting.Waiting.Five seconds. Six.Okay, this was ridiculous. I opened my eyes, just a slit, to see what was going on. And to my surprise, the knife had already come down.But it came down on Sullivan.Sullivan had dropped her robe. She was naked from the waist up. And there

Chapter 306: Blue Tunic

Zane’s POVWhen I awoke, I was tied to something. A stake, maybe? I was still naked. There were a lot of sounds. Chanting? My mouth hurt. My tongue was so swollen, I felt like it barely fit in my mouth.I felt heat. I opened my eyes.I was indeed tied to a stake, with the bonfire at my back. It was still night. All around me, witches danced and chanted. They were topless, their breasts smeared in something I couldn’t quite make out.Some looked like they were in a frenzy, their arms flailing in the air. Others bounced back and forth from foot to foot, rhythmic in their motions. They laughed and cackled, and I realized, this was still part of the ritual.My skin felt warm. Warm and sticky. There was something on it. But what?Just then, a witch appeared in front of me. Her wild eyes peered out between her untamed strands of hair. She smiled a maniac’s smile. Then she rubbed her hand over her stomach. She licked her palm in a long motion before rubbing it onto my arm.In the fire light,

Chapter 307: Brinsle’s Breeder

Zane’s POVBrinsle glared at me.If looks could kill, I would be dead. I didn’t understand. Wasn’t this some sort of privilege, being called by Sullivan?The other witches sure seemed to think it was.And both Sullivan and Lucinda beamed with pride.But Brinsle?She just stood there, shooting me daggers with her eyes.“Come, Brinsle,” Sullivan finally said, a bit uneasily. She could see the look on Brinsle’s face. “We have given you a great gift. His seed is strong. He’s reserved for the youngest wombs in our coven, as they are the most fertile. He is yours now for a month, to impregnate you and to teach you the ways of sex.”Brinsle stayed fixed in place.Teach her the ways of sex?Um…no. I was not some sort of sex trainer. I had absolutely no intentions of having sex with Brinsle. I needed to find Callie so I could figure out my escape.Lucinda and Sullivan’s power had a weakness. I needed to know what it was.“Brinsle,” Luicnda said more firmly. “You will come and claim your breede

Chapter 308: The Branding and the Boundary

Zane’s POV“Escape?” Brinsle eyed me suspiciously.Shit. Should I have said that? What if she ran right back to Lucinda and told her what I’d said. My heart raced. Should I have trusted her?She was my best chance though, wasn’t she? She was being forced to breed, against her will. She was only doing it to please Lucinda. I still didn’t know how old she was exactly, but I knew she was young. Too young to be a mother, especially if she didn’t want to.Brinsle was in a predicament. Lucinda had bestowed an ‘honor’, a great ‘gift’ to her….me. As the Lycan King, I was a hot commodity here. Lucinda and Sullivan believed that my seed was special. Brinsle was a young virgin, and because she was so young, she was likely very fertile. So, they’d given ME to HER. Lucinda adored Brinsle, that much was clear. Brinsle was supposed to be grateful.She wasn’t though. She was angry and scared and vulnerable. She didn’t know what to do. She wanted to make Lucinda happy, to please her. But the only way

Chapter 309: Favor Swap

Zane’s POVShe stared at me. I couldn’t read her expression. Her face was stoic. Her hand was held out to me.“Does this mean, you’ll help me? You’ll help me escape?”“I said no such thing,” she shook her head. “I can SHOW you what our weakness is. But that’s all, Zane. I can’t do anything else. And in return, you have to do something for me.”“Of course,” I said, eagerly. I couldn’t believe it. She was going to help me. She was going to show me what the witch’s weakness was. Then I could use. I could escape the coven and somehow, find my way back to our pack territory. “Anything, Brinsle. I’ll do anything.”“We have to convince everyone that we’re breeding,” she said, her voice shy. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Once again, she looked very young to me. Brinsle was an enigma. Her confidence and her voice betrayed her years. AT times, she seemed wise and mature. Then other times, like this, she seemed barely more than an adolescent. Was that how it was with witches? They

Chapter 310: Fake Sex

Zane’s POVBrinsle stood before me, topless. I averted my eyes.“Hurry,” she said, “get naked. Lucinda is coming.”There was panic in her voice. I suddenly felt very, very awkward. I didn’t really want to get undressed and lay naked with Brinsle. But what choice did I have? I had to do this for her so she would show me the witch’s weakness.Plus, deep down, I really wanted to help her out. I felt sympathy for Brinsle. She was being forced to do something she didn’t want to do. Whether it was her age or whether it was something else, Brinsle did NOT want to get pregnant.I was grateful for that. I knew all too well that witches had spells. Brinsle knew these spells, I was sure of it. She could cast one of them and seduce me. Probably quite easily. That’s what Chloe had done, right? She’d used a potion to convince me I was having sex with Eden. I’d been powerless. Hell, I hadn’t even know I was under a spell!The human breeders, the Brotherhood of Breeders, didn’t need any spells. They
