Rhory pushes open the door to his private quarters, letting out a soft grunt as he puts me down gently on his bed, "You need to rest, Elesi. You are healing, not healed. " He looks down at me, clearly concerned. "I know, but I feel strange..." I whisper softly, looking away from his gaze. "Vesper also doesn't feel well. Being around Elwood makes my body strange..." A shiver crawls down my spine, and before I can move I feel Rhory move closer to me. "R-rhory?" "You reek of arousal. It has been hard for me to control myself. I felt so territorial with him near you earlier..." Rhory rumbles at me, pinning me gently to the bed. I can see in his eyes that he wants me, but is holding himself back as much as he can - even if he had me pinned it was gently. "I don't like him like that..." I look up at Rhory and admit to him how I feel about Elwood, not even knowing that male. "I don't like that he says we are fated mates. I don't believe it..." I can feel something poke my thigh, but it do

Rhory takes me away from the clinic, seeming to want to just get away from Elwood and everything else. He looks strong, but I can feel that he is afraid, perhaps nervous. "Rhory. I think we can stop here." I speak up after we pass into the woods for a bit, not really knowing where we are. It was not a trail. He puts me down on a large boulder and looks me over, clearly worried. "I don't smell anyone around. He did not follow us, nor did anyone else." His eyes meet mine, piercing my soul. "Thank you. I really did not want to be near him. He makes my skin crawl and my body feel disgusting." I shiver, remembering the 'sparks' that wanted to overtake my mind. Vesper is softly whining, unhappy with the way our body feels. "He says we are mates..." Rhory's eyes widen as he lets out a soft territorial growl. "Bullshit. He doesn't even know you - how could you be-" He pauses, it seems to click. "What the fuck did Alpha Rainer bring into the pack..." He paces a bit, thinking for a moment. "

I open my eyes with a groan, trying to move. The dream was gone, but I still remember her warning. My Father was coming. I try to get up, but feel a hand reach out to touch my arm. The touch feels strange, alarming. I know who this is. "Elwood..." His name hoarsely leaves my lips. "Go away." Elwood removes his hand, but he doesn't depart. "Who did this to you?" He is talking calmly, but I can feel his anger. "I-" Don't say anything Elesi, do you want more trouble from Evette? "I don't remember." I lied. I open my eyes and I see that I was brought to the clinic to get treated. This bed is uncomfortable. "Why are you protecting who did this to you?" Elwood looks at me with such a fierce gaze. The male is handsome, if you can get past the fact he belongs to a cult. "I must tell the doctor you are awake." He stands to leave, giving me the space I requested. Vesper is still on edge, but doesn't seem as aggressive towards him as she was before. "He saved us..." So he must have been the

I make my way to the kitchens finally, taking a moment to think as I prepare Juniper something to eat. I can't believe my luck lately. I must be cursed. The Moon Goddess is playing a trick on me. Vesper rumbles, also upset about our luck. "I smell chaos approaching." Before I can even turn around I feel a hand on my shoulder, shoving me to the ground. I was caught off guard, unable to brace myself. I hit the floor with a thud, banging my head against the counter on my way down. "You snake!" A voice hisses at me, clearly displeased with me. "You should have told my Brother NO! Why would you serve that bitch!" The voice is clear now, it's Evette. Am I to be bullied now? I get why she is upset, but an Omega can not say no without just cause. "Please." I groan out, lifting a hand to touch my head - feeling something warm and wet. "I am merely following orders..." I look at my hand and see red. I am bleeding from the fall, great. "Following orders!?! Well as YOUR FUTURE LUNA you shoul

I get up and head to the showers, at least I should go in late then not at all.I rush to the pack house to check in with the head Omega, but upon arrival I am met by Ander waiting for me in the kitchen. "There you are, Omega Elesi." He says with a tired smile, it seems someone didn't get much sleep last night. "Can I help you, Beta Ander?" I fix my hair up into a ponytail, trying to keep myself from fidgeting too much. "Alpha Rainer has asked me to fetch you when you come in this morning. He'd like for you to be assigned to help Juniper. It seems she has taken a liking to you - or well trusts you." He smiles at me, almost pleading with me to agree to this. I really REALLY don't want to, but I also know that any Omega that agrees to this is going to get bullied by Evette. I don't want any of my friends to suffer. I let out a sigh. "Fine. If the Alpha wishes, but please let it be known that HE asked me." I give him a look, and he raises his hands. "Deal. I will make sure people know

I was going to head to the clinic, but all I want to do is lay down now. Somewhere safe. Escape the chaos of this day under the comfy blanket of my bed. My body reacts to this, now heading towards the dorms. Bre left a note on the door, saying she'd be with her parents tonight. Alone sounds good right about now. I don't have to explain to yet another person how my day went. I almost tear off my clothes, my body still feeling so warm and crawl into bed. It doesn't take long before I feel myself drifting off, hoping that my dreams will grant me some relief from the day.I am awoken by a strange tapping noise. Is someone at my window? I am on the third floor. Slowly I move, my body still feeling strange from earlier. I make my way to the window and pull back the curtain, finding myself shocked to see Tirian perched outside it."Going to let me inside?" He whispers, watching me with those blood red eyes of his. I quickly move to open the window, not really thinking other than 'what if
