Chapter 8-Zane
“Sleeping next to you isn’t horrible, but I don’t want you to get any ideas.” Ari’s words bring me back to the present.
“Oh, I have many ideas. Many ideas on how I’m going to make you mine, on how I can seduce you, and ideas on how I’m going to fuck you.” I watch as her mouth slightly drops. She’s not used to men being forward with her, nor is she used to a man wanting her. The males of her pack were fools not to claim her. Their loss is my gain.
“Well, just get those ideas out of your head,” She demands, but I can tell my boldness flusters hers. “So, are we going to train today, Master?” She says master with some defiance. She’s changed the subject from sex to training.
I inwardly chuckle at her. She&rs

After breakfast, we head down to the outdoor training grounds. The field soldiers I help train are waiting for me in a perfect line. Ari follows behind me. She’s taking everything in. Those in my class are dressed like me. Ari stands slightly behind me on my right side. I stand in front of my twenty or so students.“Morning. I’m sure many of you have heard, I’ve found my familiar. This is Ari, and she is a lycan. Today my focus is going to be on her. I want you all to pair off and run field training drills. If you need me, I’ll be off to the side with Ari as we work on getting her trained for the field. I expect all of you to behave.”“Yes, Master.” They say in unison.I lightly grab Ari’s upper arm and lead her off to the side. “I figured

We make it to my room, and once we are inside, I watch as Sasha turns into Ari. I won’t lie, the transformation process is pretty intense to watch, but luckily it doesn't phase me. When you know necromancy like I do, you’ve seen some dark and disturbing shit. Ari is kneeling on the floor. I come up behind her and put her robe on her. Then I walk in front of her and offer my hand to help her stand.“Thank you.” She says softly.“Of course, Pet. You did well today.” I compliment.My mom drilled it into Cade and my heads that women enjoy compliments and that we should sincerely give them as often as possible to our familiars. I wonder if that comes from dad fucking something up. My parents love one another and have an excellent relationship. However, I know th

I didn't mean to come off cold, but my irritation is getting to me. I didn’t think it would be so fucking hard. Just when I think Ari’s walls are coming down, she puts them back up. She hasn’t even been here for forty-eight hours, and I’m already losing my cool with her. I can’t even really be that annoyed with her. Her world just got turned upside down. She doesn't know me and doesn't understand our bond yet. Everything is so new to her, and she probably has more questions than she’s ever had before about her family, pack, and her wolf. I immediately regret my reaction.Deciding I need to work out my frustrations and get my head on straight. I hit Liam up for a drink. He owes me answers, and he knows it. I manipulate the shadows as they come around me to teleport me to the human realm. Once there, I head to the town near Liam’s pack. I hop into my black Dodg

Zane left in a hurry. I could tell he wasn’t happy that I acted like I didn’t like what happened. I’m surprised that I did. I feel like I’m spiraling out of control. I don't know if I can just fall for him so blindly, but damn, was the kiss amazing. I thought I’d been kissed before, but I’ve never been kissed like that. Zane had a point, what else will I like doing with him? Sleeping in his bed was nice. Training today was the most fun Sasha or I have ever had. My heart swells thinking about how he was with Sasha.For the first time in my life, I had someone look at my wolf with admiration and love. I didn’t have to be ashamed that I was different. I wasn’t expecting Sasha to want to emerge like she did. She saw the shadows around me as a way to transform privately. Sasha was itching to get out, so I let her. She was so happy to be free, and so was I. I

On the way to the dining hall, through the maze of the damn mansion, Zane tells me I look beautiful, and my heart melts at his words. I feel like a high school girl whose crush just noticed her for the first time as the butterflies dance in my stomach. No one has ever had this effect on me, never.My mouth drops when we enter the dining hall. Long tables with benches are lined up in perfect rows. The back of the room has a large table where Cade, Blair, and another man, who I assume is Zane’s dad, are sitting. The stained glass windows are beautiful, depicting the grim reaper, crows, skulls, tombs, and shadows. There is a large chandelier overhead with skulls with candles inside them.Zane and I walk to the large table. The older gentleman stands. He’s wearing a fancy black velvet robe. His short white hair and short trimmed white beard

Waking from my deep sleep, I find Ari snuggled against me again. I don’t think she means to, but I’m not complaining. Her close to me is something I enjoy, even if she is being difficult and stubborn. It’s been a week since she’s been here. She is doing well with training, but she is still resistant to me. Sometimes she succumbs to the bond, and in others, she acts like she doesn’t feel it all. It’s beyond frustrating. I’m trying to have patience with her, but damn, is it hard sometimes.Her bed that I ordered still hasn’t come. My brother and Blair deny their involvement, but I know they are meddling. I want to yell at Cade that not all of us have familiars that bend to our will right away. I know they think they are helping, but I’m not sure they are. Ari hasn’t seemed to mind sleeping in my bed. Every night she starts on the opposite side

Heading back to my room, I find Ari coming out of the bathroom dressed for training. “Good morning, Master.” She greets with a smile. “Morning, Pet. Why are you so chipper this morning?” I asked skeptically. My dad, I can get. Mom’s coming home, and that makes us all happy. However, Ari is in a good mood that I don’t know about. “I slept well last night. Actually, I’ve slept better in the last week than I have in my whole life. Maybe I was just grumpy because I didn’t know what real sleep was.” She says, shrugging her shoulders. I chuckle at her words. If only sleep were why she was grumpy, then half my issues wouldn’t be so bad. “I’ll work on getting your bed today,” I assure her. I’ve been saying that since she came home with me. I can’t help Blair and Cade are meddling in my relationship. I’v

“Get up, Ari. You will be late for school.” I heard my mom call to me. I groan. Not another damn day at that hell hole, I thought to myself.Glancing at the clock, it’s seven am. Who the fuck gets up this early for school? Who even bothers getting out of bed? If I had it my way, I’d never leave my room. What’s the point? I’m a freak. One more year, and I’ll be eighteen. Maybe then I can be free. I don't know where I’d go. If I left the pack, I’d be a rouge, but perhaps that’s better.You’d think being a damn werewolf was terrific, that my life would be interesting, but it's not. It’s mundane. I’m bullied at every chance. Even with Sage being a friend, it’s still not good enough to save me from the bullies. Sage is also wishy-washy. When no one is around, I’m he
