We went to a somewhat secluded corner, where others wouldn’t hear us.
“What do you mean you saw him?” Zane asked, glaring at me.
I flinched at his tone.
He looked away. “I’m sorry, love, but this is about your safety. After what he did, how can you–”
“He’s not my mate anymore.”
Zane frowned, meeting my gaze again. “What?”
“He’s not my mate anymore,” I repeated, slower.
“What are you talking about?”
“You told me that when the Goddess decides that two people aren’t meant to be, the bond breaks. That’s what happened to us,” I explained. “I am her daughter, Zane. You really think Selene will let her daughter be mated to someone who forced a
mark on her?”
“I… I thought you were supposed to choose yourself,” he said.

“And I did. Over and over again. When my body shut down after he marked me, that was me choosing you.” I pushed my hair away from my shoulder. “Here. See the mark.”
Zane stared at me, hesitating. Then he stepped closer, his fingers brushing down the back of my neck, sending shivers down
my body. I leaned into his touch, staring at him. His blue eyes narrowed sightly, and he moved in to take a closer look.
“It’s different,” he whispered, tracing his knuckles over it. Electricity rushed through me, and I grabbed onto his free hand to stay steady.
Zane’s eyes glinted with amusement. “Sorry.”
I smiled back. “Idiot.”
“So you’re telling me, he is out of our lives? For good?”
I shrugged, “Yeah. He has no reason to be here anymore. I told him I’d kill him if I see him again.”
“And he was scared?”
I smirked. “He knows what I am. And I showed him.”
“Showed him what?”
“My eyes turned purple and my hair went silver.”

Zane frowned. “What? Really?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”

“Because I was so mad. It just happened. There was like a heat in my eyes, and then Blake freaked out really bad, so I glanced in the mirror. I looked like… well, a Goddess’s daughter.”
Zane stared at me for a while, as if trying to gauge whether I was telling the truth.
“That’s… incredible, Lia,” he said softly. “Can you show me?”
I pursed my lips. “I don’t know how. It just happened that day. I’m telling the truth, Zane.”
“I believe you,” he said immediately. “I’m not doubting it happened. I just really want to see it.”
“I want to show you too, but I don’t know how to.”
“That’s okay, love.” He gave a nod. “Would you be open to training?”
“Training?”
“The way freshly turned werewolves do. At my pack house. I could teach you how to harness your power. How to turn at

will.”
“I could do that?” I asked. “Turn into a full wolf?”
“I think so,” he replied. “I don’t see a reason you couldn’t.”
My stomach flipped at the thought.
A grin took over my lips.
Zane laughed. “Someone looks happy.”

“I am,” I chuckled. “That’s so exciting. I’m like you. We could love each other in our wolf forms.”
His corner of his mouth lifted into a mischievous smirk. “Love each other in our wolf forms?”
Heat rose to my cheeks. “I mean… not that. Like yes, that, among other things,” I broke into a laugh.
Zane’s smile only widened. “Mhm? What other things?”
“Like running together. Racing. Jumping off hills. Cuddling as furries?”
He laughed. “And? What else?”
“I don’t know, what do werewolves do? You tell me?”
“Oh we do that, definitely. Lots of that.”
“Stop,” I chuckled, slapping his chest. “You’re dumb.”

He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. “Silver hair, huh?” he said, staring at me intently. “I’d like to see that.”
“Maybe you will, soon,” I shrugged.
“You know, it’s not just anger that makes you change. Other strong emotions work too.” He bit his lip suggestively.
My heart gave a thump in my chest. “We… could try that, but right now, we have a class to attend.”

“Hmm,” Zane frowned, his eyes darkening. “Is class really so important?”
“Yes…? I’m still Lia. The nerd.”
Zane raised a brow. “I could teach you some things.”
“No,” I whispered, my cheeks hurting from smiling too much. “Let me go?”
“No chance,” he replied. Zane pressed his lips against mine before I could argue.
I melted against him, suddenly forgetting everything else.

When I pulled away, his lips roamed around my jaw, then lowered to my neck.
“Zane, no,” I squealed, pushing his face away.
For the first time, I managed to.

He frowned, eyes narrowing. “Okay, so we’re using our new found strength now, huh?”
I blinked. “I… I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry.”
Zane scoffed. “Why the hell would you apologise for that? That’s sexy, my love.”
“It is?”
“Of course. It’ll be fun over–powering you now. When I know you can fight back.”
“Uh huh? And if I win?”
Zane smirked. “Then I will do as you say. Be your little obedient pet.”
I bit my lip, grinning.
Zane clicked his tongue. “Don’t do that,” he warned, pulling my lip from my teeth with his thumb. “Not unless you want me to

start doing the same.”
“Bite your lip all you want,” I laughed.
“I mean yours.”
My eyes widened. “No.”

He chuckled, running a hand through my hair. “Goddess, I love you so much.”
I smirked. “Don’t talk about my mother right now.”
Zane laughed. “Shut up. Dom’t make it weird.”
“I will,” I said smugly. “Anyway, you were talking about training? When do we start?”
“As soon as you want. As soon as you can get permission to stay outside the house.”
My face fell in realisation. “Oh yeah. I forgot I’m grounded.”
“It’s never stopped us before, so I understand.”
“But I have to be at your pack house for this, right?”
“No, not necessarily. We could train in your bedroom for at while.”

Zane smiled. “I can handle you, my love. Don’t be afraid of your power. Own it. Only then can you control it.”
I nodded slowly. “What will we train for?”
“Just the basics for now. Making your eyes glow when you want. Make your claws pop out. And go back in.”
“Right,” I nodded. “Yeah, that would come handy.”
“It wouldn’t,” he laughed. “You can’t do these things in front of humans, alright?”
“I know. I mean, if we’re attacked again.”
“You don’t have to fight, love.”
“But I want to.” I frowned. “I finally can.”
“We’ll see. Not until you’re properly trained, okay? I can’t afford to let you get hurt.”
“And I can’t sit back and let you stand between my danger anymore. Not when I can fight too. I am the moon’s daughter, Zane. I am probably really powerful. Blake was terrified of me.”
“I’m sure you are, Lia. I do not doubt it. But you’re also half human, and we don’t know how safe it is for you to exercise your

powers. So unless it’s absolutely necessary, we’re gonna keep you off the front lines for now. Is that okay?”
I stared at him, feeling slightly disappointed. I wanted to fight. I wanted to help.
“My love?” Zane pushed. “Is that okay?”
I sighed, slowly nodding. “Only until I’m not trained.”
“Deal.” He smiled, planting a kiss to my forehead. “You wanna go to class now?”
I groaned. “Yeah. Let’s go.”
