"Z, calm down!"She pleaded.Carson grabbed my shoulders, "Easy Alpha,he's Cleo's mate.""And that's the only reason why I didn't killhim two minutes ago when I found out he slept with her. Now I find out he notonly did that, but he forgot about it the next day!" I shrugged fromCarson's grip. "He has to die."I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist frombehind. "Please Zander, don't do this.""Hazel, but he hurt you. I can't stand itwhen you're hurt.""Ok. But you hurting him will create a rippleeffect. Gabrielle will be hurt seeing her brother hurt and I will hurt seeingGabrielle hurt and think about Carson and Cleo, you'll be hurting themtoo." She reasoned.She will make an excellent Luna. My wolf and Ibeamed with pride at how she was handling the situation."Fuck that ripple effect bullshit, you havemy permission to bash this asshole's face in," Gabrielle screeched out.Carson chuckled at his riled up mate. Cleo wasstill in her defensive stance.I turned to face Ha

"Zander?" Hazelrested a hand on his knee and gave it a comforting squeeze. "You don'thave to tell me.""That's just it little kitten. I want to tellyou. I WANT TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING, but -" His voice tapered off."But what Zander? You can tell meanything." She consoled him.He loved how considerate and caring she was. Hisbody and soul was yearning for her.He pulled over to the side of the road, thenturned to Hazel. He ran his hand over her lips and cheeks. His touch was softand delicate. "You don't know what you are doing to me little Kitten. Fromthe moment I laid eyes on you in my dreams eight months ago, I knew you werethe one. I fucking want you so badly!"Hazel's breathing became lustful. Zander's eyesdilated as he saw her voluptuous chest heaving.He unbuckled his seatbelt and lean over so thathis forehead was touching hers. "Hazel, do you trust me?""Yes, I trust you, Zander. I know we've justmet but I trust you more than I trust anyone else in this world." She too

HAZEL'S POVThis is not happening! I did not just witnessZander transforming into a beast!Am I in another one of my crazy dreams? I askedmyself.I stared at the massive beast In front of me. Hehad shiny black fur covering his body. He almost looked like a wolf.Is it a wolf?Do wolves grow this big? Because this thing isfucking huge, it's maybe 12 ft tall and 4 ft wide.Now dying by the claws of the bear, now seems likethe way less scary option.This thing was just watching me. I felt hispiercing mint green eyes devouring me. My heart ached.Zander is the beast and the beast is Zander. Theyare one in the same.He made a few predatorial strides towards me. Hiseyes were still fixated on me.It was like he's trying to read me. To study myevery reaction. But the only things written on these pages were terror,confusion and curiosity.I watched as he came closer. Fear consumed myentire being. I've never been this scared in my whole life.I bet this was his plan all along, to lur

HAZEL'S POV"Wow, my mind is about to explode with allthis new information! Witches, Demigods, and now Werewolves - ahhhh! Next,you're gonna tell me zombies are real." I was awe-stricken.Zander glimpsed at me for a second and then hefocused his eyes back on the road, he had a sly smile plastered on hischiselled jaws. "About the zombies -" He averted his eyes from myface once more, and his smile completely faded."NO FUCKING WAY! Don't tell me that zombiesare real too!" UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!I started to hyperventilate!Witches, I can handle. Werewolves, ok I can alsohandle, but not motherfucking zombies - I hate zombies, even the nice ones likeLiv from The series I-zombie.They just creep me the heck out!My mind went into a downward spiral, thinking upways to survive a crazy, zombie apocalypse.1.) Machetes instead of guns, that way I won't runout of ammo.2.) Find reliable allies. Let's see, Rick hasDaryl in The Walking Dead and Roberta has Addy in Z-Nation. Ok, so I gu

ZANDER'S POV The scenery was beautiful and serene. I could almost taste the freshness of nature. The day was cool but sunny. I had always been in love with the Crescent Drive property. I stopped and admired the beauty all around me. I noticed the place was completely surrounded by the thick vegetation of the woods. The house sat perfectly in the middle, it was truly an exquisite piece of art. From its delicate mix of bricks and cypress wood to its large, varnished mahogany door, that accentuated the beautiful white French windows perfectly. I always thought it would be a quintessential place for my mate and me to raise our pups. That was the main reason why I'd been trying my hardest to purchase the property for years now. The peace and tranquillity of this magical place were just the icings on the cake. I watched as Hazel turned the doorknob, she gave the door a gentle push. She raised one foot in an attempt to enter, but my wolf was off! He was sending me warning howls in the ba
