“Look, whatever you’re going to do to me or yell at me about, can we just get it over with?” I asked him.
But it wasn’t Aldon who piped up next, it was Braden.
“Yes, Aldon. Let’s get it over with, shall we?”
I whipped around to look at Braden, and an amused expression crossed his face.
“Wait… you know each other?” I glanced from him back to Aldon. His fists were clenched at his sides.
“Oh, yes,” Braden said, “We go way back don’t we, Aldon? Unfortunately for me.”
“That’s enough, Braden,” Aldon growled. He reached into his pocket and unearthed a small pouch.
“Or what?”
Aldon reached into the pouch and held out a small handful of sandy-looking powder.
“What the…?” I asked.
Braden jumped forward and threw out his arms. “Don’t do this, Aldon-*.
But he was cut off as Aldon took a deep breath and blew the powder straight into my face.
And then everything went dark.
Lanie
I woke up dazed, a splitting headache tearing through my skull.
For a moment, with my eyes still closed, I wondered if I’d dreamed everything.
Had I really had sex with Xander and Zane and then run straight into the arms of a vampire, only to be caught by a f ucking Elder of all people?
But I could already sense that this place was unfamiliar.
It smelled and felt damp and small, nothing like the coziness of home or the luxury of Xander’s mansion.
And when I finally opened my eyes, the sad reality set in.
I had no idea where I was.
The room was narrow and dark. There were only a couple of windows, but they were boarded up so that only the tiniest slivers of daylight broke through.
I guess that meant I’d slept through the night here.
There was nothing in the room except the rickety old metal-framed twin bed I was lying on and an old bucket in the corner.
How f ucking humiliating.
No way was I staying here, treated like some animal prisoner.
I glanced down at myself and realized I was still just wearing the oversized flannel from Braden.
I had to get out of here. Now.
I pushed myself up from the bed and walked toward the heavy metal door across the room, but as soon as my feet hit the floor, I heard the clink of a chain and felt the cold, heavy cuff around my right ankle.
I was chained to the f ucking bed.
The only thing I could reach was the metal bucket.
Just perfect.
“Aldon!” I screamed while banging the bucket against the grimy tile floor. “You can’t do this! This is torture!”
Thick silence hung in the air after my echoing voice died down.
That was when the panic set in.
Did he really leave me here all alone?
What did he do to Braden?
Would Xander and Zane be able to find me here?
Oh go ds… what would happen to Selena? Would they punish her, too?
My throat tightened as tears threatened to spill from my eyes.
If Aldon was here, he wasn’t gonna f ucking ignore me.
Something halfway between a scream and snarl ripped from my chest, and I banged the bucket on the ground over and over, the clangs so loud I felt them in my teeth.
Finally, I heard footsteps approaching, and I scrambled back onto the bed, wrapping the flannel around as much of my body as I could.
The metal door creaked open and Aldon stepped inside, his back against the door, far away from where I could reach.
“Are you quite done?” he asked, his face flushed with annoyance.
“Why did you put me here?” My voice was shaky. “I don’t deserve this.”
“I disagree.” Aldon shook his head. “I knew you were dangerous. When Xander and Zane used that loophole, those du mba ss es had no idea that it was created just for people like you ”
My heart stopped.”What’s that supposed to mean?”
I already felt like enough of a freak having been rejected by my mates multiple times. I didn’t need an Elder confirming my worst fears-that what happened with Xander and Zane was all my fault.
“You’re a wolf shifter, Lanie,” Aldon said, his lips lifting in a sneering smile. “But that’s not all you are. That’s just your dominant species.”
Awave of nausea swept over me, and my vision began to blur “If I’m not full wolf shifter, then what the hell am 1?”
Aldon’s eyes glittered with “You’re also part vampire.”
“I don’t believe a single f ucking thing you say,” I choked out.
This couldn’t be possible.
I would’ve known, I would’ve felt it…except that before I met Braden, I had no idea vampires even existed.
“It’s the truth,” Aldon said. “Your maternal grandfather was a vampire…”
I blinked hard, willing him to stop, willing myself to wake up from this nightmare.
“He’s also the vampire who created Braden.”
Xander “I swear that’s what she said. She was with your dad last night.”
I’d made Zane repeat himself when he came back from Alice’s quarters and told me the news.
It sounded completely ridiculous-my father knew Zane and I loved Alice, and I was sure he’d seen her sneaking in and out of the mansion the past two years, but it’s not like they were friends.
It’s not like they’d be out partying at a club together.
The image of Alice and my dad grinding together on a hot, dark dance floor floated to the front of my mind unbidden.
Go ds, at least I really f ucking hoped not.
But Gustav had just told me that my parents were the ones responsible for making sure none of us knew what really happened in the Great Wars. If they were capable of telling a lie that huge, then who knew what else they were keeping from me?
“I know it’s insane,” Zane said, reading my mind.
shook my head. “It’s a lie, is what it is.”
“Actually, it’s not.”
My father’s low, gravelly voice boomed around the dining room as he swept inside. “Alice was with me.”
I stood up so fast my chair flew over and landed with a crash on the wood floor.
“What the hell were you doing out all night with my mate?”
