SARA’S POV It’s my 20th birthday today, but I had chosen to spend it on the training grounds, determined to lose myself in the intense workout and forget about the turmoil in my life. Life had taken an unexpected twist, nothing like the days of old. Everything had changed when they discovered
SARA’S POVDevastated, I looked in Megan’s direction and saw my aunt standing behind her daughter. I looked at her with pleading eyes. I didn’t know what that would change, but I felt helpless.My world had just been turned upside down, and I longed for some form of comfort, any shred of solace. But
KANE’S POVI was at the Silver Moon Pack for a leader’s meeting organized by their beta. And right now, I can’t help but feel like I’ve wasted my precious time. The meeting was the same old song and dance, with the alphas complaining about rogues and begging for assistance to deal with the problem.
SARA’S POV“No!” I exclaimed, utterly shocked by the news.“Yes, he came to that dinner my father organized for the alphas at our house, and he introduced him as Alpha Kane, Alex’s uncle,” Natasha responded.I got that, but what I didn’t understand was why my friend was so scared of the man. I didn’
SARA’S POV“Please, don’t play with me like that. I’m desperate here, and I can’t afford jokes like that.” My heart pounded in my chest, and the promise of freedom hung tantalizingly close when he spoke those words. But if this were all a jest, it would be another crushing blow, adding to the pain Megan and her mother had inflicted.“I don’t have time for jokes. Be there tomorrow, and we’ll leave. But you’ll have to sign a contract; we need all of this in writing,” Alpha Kane stated.I didn’t care if I had to sign my life away; leaving this forsaken place was all that mattered.“I’ll sign anything,” I blurted out quickly, fearing he might change his mind. I couldn’t stay here any longer.“Then I’ll see you tomorrow,” he said, then walked away. Joy welled up inside me, making me want to scream and jump for joy.I had to hurry home and gather what I could. I rushed in the opposite direction toward my place – or rather, the place I once called home. In less than eight hours, I’d bid it f
KANE’s POVI paced after ending the call with Logan. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I understood where Logan was coming from; he was one of the few people in my life who knew who I really was and what I was capable of. It was reasonable for him to warn me about the woman, but how dare he speak to his Alpha like that? Did he think I would have told him or even asked him to draw up a contract if I wanted to do something to the damn woman?“Oh, Sara. You haven’t been in my life for long, and you’re already causing trouble between my Beta and me? You’d better not cause any more trouble once the contract is signed because I won’t stand for it,” I muttered loudly.Now that damned woman was invading my mind as if she owned it. There was only one woman who used to own my mind like Sara was threatening to do now—Jade, the only woman who could bend me to her will.Jade was the one responsible for bringing out the monster in me when she decided to up and leave. The worst part?
SARA’s POVWhat was it about Alpha Kane that made everyone go pale and terrified every time his name was mentioned? Nat looked exactly like my uncle does right now when she saw the man.“Alright, if you’re leaving with Alpha Kane, then I won’t stop you. But don’t forget where you come from and what this family has done for you all these years.” Now, he sounded like he was asking me not to cause trouble with Alpha Kane.He must think I have more influence over the man than I actually do. But he believes I do, which is why he was allowing me to leave without any trouble.“Oh, Uncle, I’ll remember more than just how you treated me all those years ago. I’ll also remember how I’ve been treated this past year.” He didn’t respond, which was unlike him.As the Alpha, he prided himself on being in control and getting whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. It must have taken every ounce of his self-control not to use his alpha power to intimidate me at that moment.When he remained silent for a
KANE’s POVI was abruptly awakened by a thunderous knock on my door, more of a relentless pounding, really. I checked the time, and it was just past four in the morning. Who in the world could be causing such a ruckus at this ungodly hour? They’d better have a damn good reason, like a fire or an impending attack. If not, that person would not see the sunrise.The pounding continued, causing me to groan in irritation. I rose from my bed and marched to the door, flinging it open with considerable force, causing it to slam against the wall.“What!” I barked the moment the door was open. “Good morning, Alpha,” Logan brushed past me, heading straight for my room. I stood there, watching him, struggling to contain my anger.“Where is she?” Logan’s question hit me like a bolt from the blue. “Where is who?” I walked past him and went to the kitchen, pouring myself a glass of water. “Your mate,” he said. He must have thought I was a wolf like him and the others.When werewolves find their mate,
