Her words ring in my ears as I stare outside at the passing meadows through the car window.

No one has ever dared to raise their voice at me. Let alone look into my eyes and speak with such audacity.

Not even my first wife. Yet this was woman?,

This doll. This fucking pet I have as a trophy wife. This lowlife said it without any fear in her eyes. ”

You are a hopeless case. No one will ever love you.”

I wanted to chuckle at her naivity.

She seriously things I am some loser running behind people to get something called love?

The word had no relevance in my life. It bloody died with Reb.

I don’t give two shit if no one loves me, all I want is power.

Infinite, unquestionable power to quash people I dislike like flies, without any repercussions from the council.

All I want is to be supreme.

She can keep all her stupid love and shove it up her pretty ass.

Stupid doll.

I look down to find my fists clench and I open them up. Taking a deep breath I shake my head.

Why am I even getting so agitated over what that woman said?

She is just going to be a damn breeder for me.

Her words have no relevance in my life just like her pathetic existence. Even her father sold her off and not even once inquired to know about her well being.

What could they expect from me?

Everyone knows how much my entire pack hates her.

Leaning my head back on the seat, I try to take a short nap till we reach back. When I feel a strange gnawing in my chest

It was a strange feeling, something which I couldn’t describe in words.

The pain soothes on its own and I rub my palms on my chest to furrow my brows.

Something like this has never happened before.

I had barely closed my eyes when I hear a voice in my head and my

eyes snap open.

Protect her.

Xander?

I couldn’t believe. Was it really Zander? My wolf. I haven’t heard from him since the day Reb died. I thought he went into a slumber and would never return.

But here he is…

He loved Reb as much as I loved her. Reb and me weren’t destined soulmates.

That was something very rare, probably the chances of finding your destined soulmate is one in a hundred billion.

But still, we were more than just mates. The day I marked her, she became mine and Xander started treating her as his second half.

We both loved her.

And her death took a toll on both of us.

While I found my respite in ripping people to shreds going on a killing rampage? He secluded himself. Retreating into his shell.

He hasn’t spoken to me… untill today.

Xander? Oh my god. Its really you! I thought-”

We can chit chat later human. All I want to tell you is that I don’t feel right.

I nod.

Me neither. Something feels off.

You have to protect her.

He spoke up and I furrow my brows. Who is he talking about?

Protect who?

They are my favourite season. Me and Reb have countless memories in the snow.

Walking down the stairs I happen to cross paths with Dom and he looked at me like he hated my very appearance.

Not that I give two shits.

I am gotten the more prominent and beautiful features from our parents and And he knows it.

“1

Dom”

“What?”

He snaps, irked and I ignore it.

‘Where is that woman?”

He scoffs in disbelief. Rolling his eyes at me.

That woman? I am sure you know your wives name or do I have to tell you that?”

When I was talking to him that gnawing in my chest returns. That feeling of dread. Aghh dammit!

Don’t press my buttons brother. Have you seen her?”

I know he knows. They have grown close behind my back. When I was out of country, they were busy mingling, having a good time.

If anything I came to know he helped her train by cross dressing her as a man. Giving her a new name to enroll her in the men’s training.

Pathetic if you ask me.

No matter how much he trains her, that woman can’t wield a sword let alone hurt a fly.

First I thought of punishing her for going against my orders of not seeing him, but then I simply ignored it.

I had way important work to do than doubt a woman’s faithfulness who I don’t give two fucks about.

Plus Dom is an intelligent grown up man.

He can make his own decisions,

Right?

How long am I going to spoon feed him on basics in life.

She is having those stupid lessons with Maeve in the special room.”

He answers begrudgingly, walking past me to hit his shoulder with mine deliberately. And I ignore his childish actions with a bigger heart.
