Zane's Series Novels & Stories

Chapter 23: The Weight of Vengeance The castle of Zorana had once been a symbol of strength and unity, but now, it stood as a silent witness to the unraveling of everything Caden had once cherished. War had taken its toll, not just on the kingdom, but on the people who had once thrived within its walls. The air was thick with the tension of unresolved grief, the remnants of battles both won and lost. And at the center of it all stood Prince Caden—his every move, his every breath consumed by a singular obsession: vengeance.

he interrupted her. “I-Initiation? Like a fraternity?” she asked in confusion. “Sort of. My dad Sebastian’s family has an organization. Ian wouldn’t accept me just like that. It’s annoying because we’re supposed to be friends! But I don’t get his drama. Daddy Seb was fine with it, but Ian took over as the leader, so his dad had no choice. Ian gave me my first mission. And that was Barbie. Get it, Sweetie?” Her jaw dropped. It felt like a thorn had been removed from her throat. So Barbie had been lying? Was it just a mission? But why were they living together?

“No. I just wanted to see how she’s doing. I’ll be around for Thanksgiving. I decided to come a little early.” Gabe studied him carefully. Zane was the kind of man who kept everything to himself and didn’t give away secrets. He probably didn’t know that Gabe already knew about Chloe’s miscarriage and her history with James, so he was trying to be careful. “You think she’s dead?” Gabe asked bluntly. Zane shrugged his broad shoulders. He was wearing a warm sweater, jeans, and hiking boots. Gabe thought he looked exactly like what he was—a science geek—and he liked that about him.

Indecision was. Zane had returned. Not loudly. Not dramatically. But with precision. The way he always did. He hadn’t demanded her attention. He had positioned himself inside it. And Aurora knew exactly what that meant. He was waiting. Watching. Calculating. Zane Wilson never chased recklessly. He closed in slowly. Deliberately. Like something inevitable. Aurora stepped away from the window and walked toward her desk. Her phone lay there—quiet now, but no less heavy.

I take a deep breath and leave the comfort of my throne and start to make my way around the floor, guided by my father, brother and elder Jonah. First stop was the Ocean’s Howl pack, they control California, their alpha Ares Prince is a well-known playboy with surfer’s blond hair and a wicked smile. Followed by the Crimson Pack from Arizona, and their alpha Set Stanton, who is quiet the hunk if I may say, but is known for being hardheaded. Next comes Gunner Miles from the Moonshine Pack they control Louisiana, and with his cinnamon-colored skin and blue eyes he’s quiet the dream. Then comes Draken Black from the Dark Forest Pack from Chicago, I don’t know what it about him is, but he reads d

And they are going to use that power to once again play with the mind of Zane. This time when Zane opened his eyes. He found himself in a cave and with a very beautiful girl, she is staring at him and smirking... "You are awake, human!!!" She smiled and came close to him. But he backed away. "Where am I? Who are you?" Zane asked and got up from the ground. "I am Cassandra. am one of the members of the twelve. And I am here to keep an eye on you..." She said. Zane gulped.

Nikolai took a deep breath. According to the information from Sean, Zane's parents were divorved, and his guardian was his mother. It was true. She divorced Zane's father. It was not until that matter was confirmed that the gloominess deep inside him dissipated a little. But when he thought that she had been married abroad, he felt depressed and gloomy again. ....... ...... ....... Dear readers, please endeavor to drop a comment after every read.

Instead, he muttered to himself again and again, "Where's my cheat ability? Why did it disappear? Why can't I see the future anymore?! What's going on?!" His expression was twisted with madness, like a rabid dog gone out of control. [That skill was a limited-time quirk for the newbie male lead, and it was bound to be retracted after a week.] [Even if he stocked the wrong supplies, he should've at least gotten food too. But this guy stocked only ice?] [Another brain-dead male lead, abandoned by the system.] At that moment, the signal cut off. I shrugged again, before continuing to eat my grilled meat.

I said, trying to ease off his worry. He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. “What exactly are you worried about?” I needed to know. I'd never seen Zane look so distressed before. “I think someone's going to die.” My eyes widened as soon as I heard his words. “I know this sounds cliche and all, but I've been having this strange nightmare. I saw a corpse full of blood, but I can't seem to detect who it is. Before I get to see the person's face, I'd abrubtly wake up from the dream.”

“Did anyone recognize you?” Zane flashed a wide smile, revealing his gums. “Not at all,” he said, smug satisfaction dripping from every syllable. He turned on his heel dramatically, letting the cloak swirl around him. “I was nervous at first, sure. But now?” His grin deepened as he tapped his chest. “I feel invincible. Perfectly capable of carrying myself. After all…” He sprawled across Yeonho’s bed as though it were a throne, folding his arms behind his head. “All those years in the mafia paid off.”
