Zayne’s POV Finnick walked through the bedroom door without knocking, startling me out of my nervous pacing. “Where’s Sarah?” I asked, closing the distance between us. “I found her sitting in the rose garden. We talked but she wanted a few more minutes to herself.” He answered, stepping even closer to me. “I saw Kat heading her direction as I was leaving. Hopefully some time with her best friend will help.” “Hopefully.” I repeated, the word barely a whisper on my lips. My eyes were locked on Finn’s, ice meeting azure blue. The air around us crackled with desire. All at once, the tension was too thick and we both reached for each other, desperate to sate our need. Our bodies and mouths crashed together, then suddenly Finn was on top of me on the bed. His hand slid under my shirt at the same moment his tongue demanded entrance to my mouth. He tasted sweet like marshmallows, the perfect compliment to Sarah’s

Zayne’s POV “Hey man, what are you doing out here?” Reegan’s deep voice interrupted my thoughts as I followed Sarah’s scent through the garden. “And why do you smell weird?” “Huh?” I opted for playing dumb. I hadn’t been around the Alphas much since mating with Sarah, avoiding them to protect our secret. When I was with them, I tried to cover our scent with cologne. At the moment, I wasn’t sure if Reegan was smelling my new mated scent or if he could smell Finnick on me too. Maybe both. Either way, he and Ryan didn’t know I’d found my mate, or mates, as it were. But as we rounded the corner, Kat gave me a knowing look that said “the cat’s out of the bag now.” “What are you doing out here, baby girl?” Reegan asked Kat, both of us reaching the girls before he could push me to answer his question. “We woke up and you were gone. I got worried.” “I’m sorry I made you worry. I couldn’t sleep so I went for a walk. I didn’t want to wake you. The two of you were obviously tired, the wa

Finnick’s POV “Finnick, wait!” I heard Zayne’s anxious voice call after me as I all but ran from the room. After hearing the news the Glass Lake Alphas just shared, I had to admit I was panicking. All I knew was I couldn’t sit around and wait for some unseen threat to come for us and destroy the people I loved, no matter how much one of them didn’t want me. I wasn’t the sit and wait kind of person. I had to act. “Protect mates!” My wolf barked in my head. “I know, Callum. That’s exactly what we’re going to do!” I growled back as I stomped down the hall. I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t heard Zayne catch up to me. “Just stop and talk to me!” He persisted, grabbing my wrist to pull me back. In my frustration, I turned to snarl at him. “Don’t!” I thundered, lost to the tumult of my emotions. “I can’t stay here! This was never going to work and you know it. If I go, at least I can try to do something useful. See what I can find out about Dark Fae and how to fig

Sarah’s POV I ducked and weaved through the bodies clashing all around me as I fought my way to the front, to my mates. I stayed in my skin, knowing I fought better in my human form, but many of the warriors had shifted. Suddenly, a small gray wolf rolled into my path, a female who carried the Glass Lake smell. Before I could move around her, a large black wolf pounced, biting into her flank. Without even thinking about it, I jumped on the larger wolf’s back and wrapped my arms around its neck, throwing all my weight backward to force him off of her. I heard the sickening sound of tearing flesh when he refused to let go but it was just a flesh wound. The small reprieve was enough to let the small wolf sink her teeth into his soft underbelly, spilling his intestines on the ground. A soft whine left his throat before he went still. The gray wolf yipped in thanks then moved on and I did the same. The Glass Lake wolves seemed to have the upper hand, allowing me to move more easily t

*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Sarah’s POV “We’re about to show you what happens to little wolves who disobey.” Zayne whispered against my lips, sending a shiver through me from head to toe. I had no time to process what that might mean before his hot mouth took mine in a rough and demanding kiss, teeth clashing and biting as he tried to devour me. I was so consumed by the kiss, I hadn’t even noticed we’d moved until I felt the bed hit the back of my thighs. “These are in my way!” Zayne growled as if my clothes offended him, then grabbed the collar of my shirt and ripped right down the middle. I barely noticed Finn doing the same to my shorts since my wide eyes were glued to the sight of my tattered shirt in Zayne’s hands as he tossed it away. He’d been rough during sex before, driving into me fast and hard. And I’d loved every minute of it. But this level of aggression was something new. I couldn’t stop my body from trembling as he took a
