Chapter Eighty-FourA new ElenaCeline"Why did you send for me, Lydia?". I hissed as I set her a straight glare. Everything about Lydia infuriated me and irked the shit out of me, especially how she had killed Genevieve and framed it on Elena. Sometimes I wonder if she had a hand in Alpha Blackwood's disappearance, and lest I forget, Lydia was a demon; the thought alone was enough to make me puke whenever I saw her."The time has come for you to pay your debts.". She stated curtly, as I rolled my eyes at her."What do you mean?"."Today is the day your face would be transformed to that of Elena, while Elena would be beaten so terribly that Asher would have to feel it and come to her rescue, only that he won't rescue her; he will see you by the pack borders and believe you're Elena. Everything has already been set for how we would kill him, and I hope you still remember the deal to act like you're no longer in love with him, although that might not be needed as he won't be able to e
Chapter one Rejected Elena Pov "I, Blake Blackwood, future Alpha of the Moon Crest Pack rejects you, Elena Reynolds as my fated mate and future Luna". "Ugh.. - " I gasped and groaned as blinding pain ripped through me sending me collapsing to the ground. I clenched my chest tightly and my heart leaped almost out of my chest. I couldn't breathe. The ground felt like it had been ripped off from under me and tears burned my eyes. Blake collapsed beside me, gasping continuously for air and numerous guards rush to his aid, while I was left alone in my anguish. "What are you waiting for you pig? Accept the rejection and free him from this torture". The Luna growled, her voice sharp and cold. At this moment, I could feel the piercing gaze of the entire pack on me. They all hated me deeply, and wanted nothing more, than for me to accept Blake rejection. You must be curious about who I was and what crime I had committed for my entire pack to hate me. Let me introduce myself. My n
Chapter Two My Warlock. My Saviour Elena How long have I been running? I can't recall. However, I can't stop now. I have to keep running. I have to run until I am out of the pack borders. "There she is!!!". A sudden voice growled loudly from a corner, and before I could even dash off, four guards grabbed me harshly by both arms. "Let go of me". I managed to utter, my voice trembling as my hands grew clammy. "Shut up you poor stupid pig. We are taking you back to the royal pack house, and nothing shall save you from the Luna's wrath". "Please just let me go. I don't want to go back there, you know how much every one in the Pack despises me especially the Luna". I cried out, tears welling up in my eyes. "Hey is okay, we aren't going to take you back there, but that's if only you can take us all". One of the guards leered at me, licking his lips suggestively and rubbing a hand on his crotch. The others snickered too, their eyes flickering over me with want and lust. I
Chapter Three A difficult Path. Elena "Why are you here? Are you trying to get yourself killed?". I asked, shifting uncomfortably, and feeling heat about to rise to my cheeks. "What do you mean by get myself killed?". "Werewolves have a history with Warlocks. If any other wolf finds you your life will be at risk". I whispered, my voice trembling. He instantly stumbled back, a train of sensations darting in his eyes - Surprise, Fear, Confusion and then Realization. "Wait. How the hell did you even... No, that's not even possible. I had carefully masked my scent, and only a Warlock can break through that mask, which obviously your not.". "Is just one of my special abilities. I can break through masks". "You should return back to the royal pack house". He suddenly groaned and I shook my head in disapproval. "No. I can't go back...." I trailed off once his lips suddenly crashed against mine. The effect was immediate - My heart rate shot up, along with my body tempera
Chapter Four The Twenty Virgins Asher I paced back and forth in my room, trying to make sense of what I did. Why was I so smitten by her? Desire! Lust! Love! Love!? My eyes grew double the size and I nearly choked on my own breath. I felt my stomach churned badly like I would puke. No I couldn't have fallen in love. Falling in love was my only weakness. Love killed my elder brother. My fists clenched tightly at the memory. My brother allowed himself to fall into the snarl of love with a female from the Moon Crest pack. She took advantage of his naive obsession, seduced him into coming to her pack, laid an ambush for him and killed him. Ever since that night, love became a scornful word in my ears. It infuriated me and irked the shit out of me, that I could remember killing couples because I saw them drinking from the same cup. Not only did I despise the word that shall not be mentioned I equally despised werewolves, no hated them even, especially the Moon Crest Pack.
Chapter Five A Taste of Hell Elena Loud footsteps coming towards me echoed loudly in my ears, before I could roll off my tiny bed - a splash of cold water cascaded from my face down to my body in large quantity. I shrieked and rolled off the bed, my body trembling as I gnashed my teeth tightly. "Is that time of the month again". The Luna sneered as she drew level with me. My jaw dropped and cold chills ran all through my skin, goosebumps shooting up. Once in every month I was dragged along the pack and whipped with a mixture of wolfsbane and silver potion, after which I was dragged back to the palace where my torture continued. "Why are you still curled on the ground? Get the fuck up you stupid warlock". Lydia burst out in rage and wouldn't even wait for a response from me before charging at me like a lunatic. She landed a blinding slap across my cheek, snapping my face to the side. I screeched in pain, trying not to cry. I hated crying infront of her, but the pain burned
Chapter Six To Kill a Pack Asher "What's up buddy". Ethan voice called out, causing me to flinch. "Have you ever heard of this thing called knocking". I groaned and he let out a muffled chuckle, as he strode casually towards me. Apart from my mother, Ethan was the only other person who wasn't scared or intimidated by me. Ethan and I have been best friends since I could remember. We did all our trainings together and shared all our deepest secrets. "So your mum told me you didn't like the idea of a chosen mate". He mumbled placing a hand on my left shoulder. "Yeah and I am guessing she sent you to convince me". I growled, simmering with frustration and anger. "Chill bro. I'm not here for war". He laughed raising his hands above his head. "How are things going with the Moon Crest Pack? Have you found anything that could help us bring them down?". I asked abruptly and a smile curled at the corners of his lips. He despised the pack as much as I did. "I have a plan tha
Chapter Seven Goodbye Kiss Asher I felt a cold chill run down my spine as I kneeled beside her and placed the heel of my hand on the lower half of her breastbone, in the center of her chest, before placing my other hand on top of my first hand and interlocking my fingers. But then... nothing. No movements. No pulse. No breathing. BOOM!!! Another explosive knocked off beside us. Black dots clouded my vision, and a sudden chill gripped me as I instantly lifted her up in bridal style and took a leap, my heart racing. Not from fear of the fire, but from the realization that once she is out of harm's way, it might already be too late. Once we were out of harm's way, I dropped her gently on the grass as I kept my eyes on her, searching her face for something—anything—that would prove my little wolf was going to be okay. And that's when I remembered: A magical spell my mother had thought me. I could use it to exchange our blood and feel whatever pain she was going throug

Chapter Eighty-ThreeAlora is my mate. Alora"Asher, you're back. I thought you would never come back.. Rebecca's excited squeal echoed loudly from downstairs as I instantly sprang to my feet, pushing my room door open and descending the stairs."Prince Asher, you're back.". I mumbled, taking a bold step towards him, and then that's when he murmured "Mate""What!!". Ethan and Rebecca both growled in unison as a grim smile curled on my lips."Alora is my mate mother. I felt the bond just now"."No, this has to be a misunderstanding. Alora couldn't be his mate, and even if she were, how come he's just figuring it out now? He should have realized it since the first instant they met.". Ethan snarled, setting me a straight glare."And what are you insinuating, that I used dark magics to create a fake bond?". I snarled, my nose flaring with anger. "You've said it; besides, for a girl who had attempted killing her old brother, creating a fake bond should be nothing dreadful for her."
Chapter Eighty-TwoAlora is back.Rebecca "Greetings, my Queen.". Ethan mumbled as he approached me."Have there been any productive results?". I hissed, staring out of the window."Not yet my Queen, but I assure you everything is under control.".I spun quickly to him. "What do you mean by everything is under control? It's been two weeks since my son woke up and disappeared with no trace, and you're telling me everything is another control.".I snapped as my fists turned white. As a result, my poison has become worse, and I knew it was just a matter of days before I left this world. How could I possibly relax when Asher had gone missing? If he were still here by now, he would have chosen a bride, and my mind would have been at rest knowing that there's an heir to continue the family legacy.I'm sure he had run away to spend time with that stupid wolf girl. Just then, Alora's words from some conversation ago resounded in my head. I had to kill the wolf girl; that was the only way
Chapter Eighty-One An Encounter with the Moon Goddess Elena "Ahhh.". I screamed and groaned as another whip landed on my legs, causing blind pain to rip through me. And then another whip came, and another still. I lost count, and my tears stung my eyes, making it impossible to see. Soon the rain began to fall so heavily, masking the cruel laughter of Lydia and the others, but the guards didn't stop their assault; they were determined to watch me die here tonight, and I guess that wish was going to come true. The rain kept pouring so heavily till I couldn't breathe. I was just so tired; I badly wanted an escape, a way out of all the pain and sufferings, so like always, I gave in to the rain, as I let the rain do with me as it pleased. But then, just before I lost consciousness, Alpha Noah's voice drifted through the air, cold and final. "Leave her; let her die like the pig she is.". And then, there was nothing but darkness. "I'm here." I mumbled the moment my eyes f
Chapter EightyFramedElena."Elena.". Alpha Noah's sharp growl echoed loudly from downstairs as I slowly rolled on my bed, opening my eyes. I felt so tired, and if there was anything I wanted to do, it was to go back to bed, but I knew better. Sighing, I sprang to my feet as I ambled to my room door, pushing it open and striding downstairs."Greetings....". I began, but was quickly cut off by Alpha Noah."Where is Genevieve?". He growled, as his nose flared with anger, and his knuckles turned white. I shuddered; how was I supposed to know Genevieve was way about, we weren't even friends?"I don't know where she is, Alpha.". "Shut up, you demon. What do you mean by You don't know her way about"? Didn't you go with her to school today? He snarled as he drew closer to me."No Alpha I didn't go with her. I've been at home since morning.. I mumbled, trying to remember what I did today, but my vision is a terrible blur."So where is Genevieve, and why hasn't she been picking up her c
Chapter Seventy-NineThreats from the demon king Lydia"Come on, Lydia. I'm sure we could strike some sort of negotiation". She whimpered as I laughed. Genevieve was a real fool if she thought I was going to let her leave here alive, especially after she had threatened to expose me."Ly...". She began, but I don't let her complete her sentence, as I flung her across the room, causing her to groan and whimper.In a blink, she began shifting into her wolf form, as I spared a second to laugh. She must be really stupid for thinking her pathetic wolf could stand a chance against me; even in my human form, I was still stronger than her, but since this is the way she wanted it, I let out a guttural growl as I shifted to my demon form, my pungent demon scent filling the air.Genevieve Wolf instantly charged at me, but my demon beast was stronger, and I swiftly dodged. She made another attempt to lunge at me, and as I waited, she was only a second away from slamming me against the door before
Chapter Seventy-EightTerrifiedGenevieve My alarm clock growled loudly beside me as I grudgingly rolled over to turn it off. Fuck, today was Monday, a.k.a. the worst day of the week. Since I could remember, I've always hated Mondays because I felt weekends weren't long enough, and Monday should have been included in week endings.Sighing, I lazily rose from my bed, and as I ambled to the bathroom to shower, after my thirty-minute hot shower, I slipped into my blue shirt and black trousers—the perfect corporate wear to begin the week. Ambling to the silvery mirror in my room, I packed my hair into a neat bun in order to appear so elegant and beautiful. Once I was done, I hopped into my comfy sandals heel as I strode out of my room, proud and beautiful as always."My love, you look so beautiful.". Blake smiled as he drew the distance between us, slamming his lips against mine.I instantly pulled away. "Have you gone crazy, Blake? What if someone sees us?"."I can't help it, love; I j
Chapter Seventy-Seven Best Friends Forever Elena "Gina, what's wrong? What is happening to you"? "I... I don't know, Elena, what do you think the matter is?". She whimpered as sweat beads formed on her face."We need to rush you to the pack healer, Gina; you're barely even breathing.". I cried as I raced towards her, my palms growing clammy."I don't want to die; you need to help me, Ele...". And just then her lips clammed shut, alongside her eyes and body temperature."Gina!! Gina!!". I cried as loud as my tiny vocal cords could carry, hitting and pushing her, but still nothing.'Lena, what should we o? Should I mix my blood with hers? Was she going to be okay? I rasped but was met with dead silence from Lena.Out of my desperation to see my friend alive and sound again. I elongated my fangs as I shook it deep into my finger before doing the same to Gina—the moment my fang touched her skin, I stumbled back, spitting continuously."What just happened?". I murmured to myself as
Chapter Seventy-SixThe demon's promise.Elena"I have proof everyone, I have proof to back up the fact that Lydia is a demon.". I hissed as Celine's gaze instantly flicked over mine with hope, confirming my suspicions that she actually knew something."I can't believe you guys are entertaining all this nonsense. Guards". Lydia growled, and I could feel the urgency in her voice. She was truly scared about what evidence I might have."Hold on.". Genevieve ordered the guards, before shifting her gaze to Lydia. "Let's listen to the nonsense she has to spit. Blake, please do well to put this on video so I could show it to my father when his back is turned; he'll need a lot of comic reliefs like this, considering how draining those Alpha meetings could be.".Lydia instantly stiffened. "This is utterly ridiculous; they should just take her outside and beat her up.". She mumbled as cold sweats broke out from her face."Chill, Lydia, this will be so funny; let's hear her out. Blake set th
