The Lycan King's Second Chance Mate: Rise of the Traitor's Daughter

Zane~

Fox’s smirk was the last thing I saw before his hand landed on my shoulder.

And then there was darkness. A sensation of weightlessness, like the universe had been ripped away from under my feet. The sounds of the room, Sebastian’s presence, the lingering scent of blood and magic—all of it disappeared in an instant.

By the time I regained my bearings, we were somewhere else. I staggered slightly, my instincts still fighting against the sudden shift, my chest rising and falling with sharp breaths.

"Damn it, Fox!" I snapped, whirling on him. "I was still talking!"

Fox chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Yeah, yeah, I noticed. But you talk too much, brother-in-law."

I took a threatening step forward, my hands clenched into fists. "I don’t trust that woman, Fox. That Brielle woman—she could hurt Sebastian. And if anything happens to him—" My voice was like ice, laced with fury and desperation. "I will never forgive you."

Fox sighed, running a hand through his fiery red hair. "Zane, stop worrying. Even if it doesn’t look like it, Tiger and I are watching over Sebastian. Nothing’s going to happen to him."

I clenched my jaw, unwilling to be soothed. "Are you sure about that."

Fox arched a brow. "Absolutely. Come on, Zane, you and I both know Sebastian is too damn powerful for a demon to take him down that easily. The demon would be the one running for the hills." He smirked. "And besides, thanks to Tiger and I, right now, Sebastian is probably the most protected vampire in the world."

I narrowed my eyes, not entirely convinced. "Swear it."
