Sleep evaded Eleanor as she returned for the night. She tossed and turned, eyes wide open and staring into the darkness. She had been tired from working the entire day and could not understand why she had a hard time sleeping.

Instinctively, Eleanor’s head turned towards her window, half expecting to see Gregory there. The wee thing had begun to grow on her. She even had the urge to sneak out to the stables like he always did and visit the horses.

Tossing her sheets to the side, Eleanor climbed out of bed and gently creaked open her door, gazed at both sides of the hallway, and found it empty. Good timing. She did not want the palace guards questioning why she was always outside in the late night.

She let herself outside the palace doors, navigating her way to the stables until she heard the familiar neighing of horses.

She released the latch holding the doors together and walked in, eyes peeled out for Gregory’s favorite horse. It was asleep when she saw it, so she moved to the next

    Eleanor’s eyes cracked open at the break of dawn and was alarmed when she slowly grasped she was in her bedroom and could not remember how she got back upstairs last night. The last memory she had was of Drakken doing heavenly things to her body with such intent adoration. The man surely had skills. Then, she frowned at the memory.She regretted allowing him touch her that way. She had been too lost in the moment to form a complete sentence, let alone think straight. And the worst part was that she wanted him to do it again. Touch her in the places that awoke things in her she did not know existed.She sighed ruefully. These feelings would eventually be the end of her.She left the bed to prepare and resume work in the garden, showered, and was combing her hair when Evie made an entrance."I bring news," the maid announced as Eleanor tore her gaze away from the mirror to glance at her."Is it good or bad?""It depends on how you look at it," she said with a genuine smile.

    Drakken was in his study, sitting by the window peering outside with a glass of Whiskey perched between his fingers when he instantly got a link from his spy. Eleanor’s son had been captured successfully. They had her son and the woman who had been with him. It appeared the two were always joined to the hip, so they had to take her along too.Drakken ordered for the boy to be brought to him. The woman, on the other hand, must be thrown into the dungeons for giving them such a hard time.He would know what to do with the boy when he sees him.After that, he reclined back on the couch and resumed his leisure as thoughts of his recent predicament flooded his head. Elders of the pack had gotten off his back regarding the vampire king’s daughter issue. They bought his empty promise about taking her in as Lunaqueen. They had been too easy. He would never allow his father to win by giving in to the man’s wishes.He recalled Eleanor’s reaction to him getting a new mate. She had been angst

    It was already the third day of Eleanor working at the healing school and Emma had begun to go easy on her. The girl’s heart was not completely made out of steel after all, Eleanor thought.The clock struck six at dusk when Eleanor retired from the day’s work. She was drowsy and it made her eyes droop, rubbing at it to ward off sleep. Walking out from tre hospital towards the castle, her eyes caught sight of Emma heading towards the garden who was constantly looking over her shoulders. Strange. Whatever was she doing in the garden late at night? Even the people working at the gardens had retired too.Brushing it off, Eleanor made her way to her bedroom and awaited Evie. She would be coming in anytime soon with dinner, as always. Eleanor had a quick shower and changed into her night gown before the maid arrived.She was staring out the window up at the stars in the night sky when she heard Evie come in."Have you ever thought about what happens after death?" Eleanor asked absentmindedl

    The dungeons were just as horrible as Evie described. It was dark, eerie and surprisingly silent. Too silent. It made Eleanor think she was making a huge mistake going in there and considered turning back around to her bedroom. Yet she could not. No matter how much her subconscious warned her to get out of there.She had already gotten this far to see her son. Nicky must be waiting for her. Eleanor knew she would stay up all night worrying about her son if she did not act now.Taking in a deep, shaky breath, she pushed open the dungeon’s main doors and walked in. On both sides were rows of lined-up cells secured with top-notch iron bars that would make it almost impossible for a prisoner to escape. So far no guards. A bright lamp illuminated the way for Eleanor as she assessed every cell, looking for any sign of her neighbor or son. A badly bruised she-wolf growled at her when she got too close to her cell and Eleanor jumped back in fear, slapping a hand over her mouth not to let ou

    "So, you have the pup now... What are you planning to do with him?" George asked Drakken who had his nose buried deep in a glass of white wine."What else? Use the boy to further threaten his mother. Bend her to my will. There are plenty of options."Drakken had a new sense of power knowing he had full control over Eleanor now. The thought of how she would react when he informed her of the pup’s presence in the palace further amused him. He could imagine her searching for ways to find the boy, but she would never. Drakken had the boy kept where she would never think of."This is not the time for distractions. Did you forget promising elders of the pack a Lunaqueen? Or do I need to refresh your memory?" George leaned on the door to the King’s study, wondering why he was being nonchalant about it."I never meant it when I agreed to take the vampire king’s daughter as Lunaqueen. You of all people should know that...""Benjamin would make a big deal out of it later. That smug little idio

    The amount of pleasure Drakken felt from Eleanor's hands wrapped around his cock was overwhelming. Her eyes slid to his, holding his dark, heated, and lust-filled stare as she pressed a light kiss to his tip. Her other hand joined not too long after, holding him firm with both.His eyebrows were pulled tight and his expression went from one to the next as he felt her lips. Eleanor finally broke eye contact afterwards, going back to the huge task at hand.She kissed him again, hearing Drakken slowly begin to descend into madness as her wet warm lips met the sensitive head of his cock. She liked hearing his breath hitch and the sound of his breathing getting heavier.A few beads of precum leaked from his tip and Eleanor caught it, taking him fully and running her tongue along his huge length.Then, she abandoned her small teasing and let herself go. Tasting Drakken without a pause. Her hands that were gripping his base before started stroking him slowly, feeling the hardness enclosed in

    The next morning, from the heavy sunlight slipping through the curtains threatening to blind her, Eleanor knew it was late when she woke up. Drakken’s body was huge and warm under the sheets, and so much of him was bordering her. His arm was slung over her midriff, snuck under the lingerie she had slipped on last night to seduce him, which worked like magic by the way, his hands splayed over the skin on her stomach.Her skin burned up at each point of contact his skin made with hers. Which was many, many places. And when everything played back in her mind like a blurry film, her cheeks instantly boiled with heat.Eleanor had not meant to let it get that intense but her hormones seemed to get the better of her-which was the new norm whenever she was close to Drakken. Then there was that thing Drakken did with his tongue when he buried his head in her core, instantly sending her to cloud nine.She flushed a bright red at the memory and stared at him on the bed. What would he think of h

    Eleanor slammed the door behind her when she got to her bedroom, more furious than she had ever been. Her master plan did not work. Why hadn't it? She had done all she could, listened to Evie’s advice, satisfied the Alpha, but nothing came out of her efforts.All she could feel was stupidity and anger. Stupidity for throwing herself at Drakken thinking she would get the desired results. Anger for wasting her time on him. The man almost fucked her because of her stupid actions that were not fully thought out.She was never taking advice from Evie again.Yanking off the lingerie on her body, Eleanor tossed the flimsy thing in a corner, making up her mind to never put it on all in the name of pleasing that dickhead! It seems as the days went by, Eleanor saw her future looking bleak. Would she really ever be able to see her son or Mrs. Goldberg again?Drakken was a walking contradiction. His actions last night said one thing but his words afterwards said another. He had wrapped her up in

Eleanor screamed at the top of her lungs as she chased after her last child who seemed unaware of her mother's rage she giggled heartily, racing down the well-trimmed meadow at the back of the house where they went out to relax every day. "Magdalene!""Daddy!" The girl squealed, changing course from her favourite hiding spot at the back of a tall tree, towards her father who was smiling as he stretched his hand to catch her. "I am going to make sure you are sent off to a boarding school just like your older brother!" Threatened, Eleanor, tapping her forehead. She had been chasing the little foot from the house, refusing the help of the guards whom she knew her daughter feared greatly. Drakken had insisted his daughter was never to be left at the mercy of the brutes under any circumstances."Forgive us, Luna, we have sinned." Drakken made a face as they approached her, rephrasing the biblical words. "You spoil her, baby and then you leave

    ONE MONTH LATER."I can't believe this is finally happening, dudes. Can y'all believe it?" George asked as he took a long swig from the glass in his hand, his face squeezing from the strong taste of the brown modern ale. "I can't believe it too," Duncan let out cheerily, his face a mask of smile. "So... I thought to ask Evie out today.""What!" George thundered, half sitting up from his seat in astonishment as his eyes widened in shock. "Eleanor's maid?" Duncan was nodding his head, his smile not breaking. "I haven't approached her yet, but I have been keeping tabs on her and know her real mate rejected her which somehow works to my advantage, you know.""What about your mate?"Duncan shrugged casually. "I have been crushing on Evie for as long as I can remember, Geroge. I am telling her tonight. If there's anything I'm certain of, is that I see the way she looks at me sometimes in a sneaky way.""That didn't answer my question, Duncan. Do you want to break her heart in the future?

    Drakken threw himself at Benjamin at his words, already deciding within himself that if Benjamin wanted the throne then he had to win him for it. But one thing was for sure; he was done tolerating the bullshit called his stepbrother. As the situation was right now, someone's head had to roll for peace to reign.He delivered a clean punch to his guts and Benjamin toppled over, spewing out blood. When Drakken went to punch once more, Benjamin was very fast to move away, giving Drakkn a kick to the face. George rushed to carry Eleanor from the ground, getting Benjamin's attention who was on the verge of attacking Drakken and Drakken used the opportunity to clasp his big hands around his shoulders and crushed it over his knees. There was a painful growl and Benjamin started transforming into his hideous wolf.This was part of the reason Drakken had never been comfortable around Benjamin. When he was born, he overheard his father telling Benjamins's mother that he was never going to accep

    Eleanor’s hands shook uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face. The world had stopped making sense to her. How could she have been so blind to the truth? The man she had trusted with her heart and her secrets had been the one responsible for the greatest tragedy of her life.She remembered the day when her family was murdered, the horror and pain etched into her memory forever. It had been Drakken who murdered them. And to think, she had trusted him all this time.But that wasn't the worst of it. The spy had gone ahead to reveal the thing that made Eleanor's heart sink to her stomach. Drakken was the one who had violated her, stolen her innocence and left her with scars that would never heal.

    Drakken charged through the palace, his eyes scanning every corner and room for any sign of Eleanor. His mind was in turmoil, his thoughts consumed by the fear that something terrible had happened to her. He could feel his wolf inside him, agitated and restless, struggling to break free in his anger.Every room he searched, every door he opened, brought him no closer to finding her."Drakken, you need to calm down," George said as he approached him. "Destroying the palace won't help us find Eleanor.""I can't just sit here and do nothing!" Drakken snapped, his voice rising in frustration. "Eleanor is out there somewhere, and make sure she is safe."Duncan stepped forward and placed a hand on Drakken's shoulder. "We understand how you feel, but we need to approach this logically. We'll cover more ground if we split up and search different areas of the palace."He took a deep breath and tried to reign in his anger, but it wasn't easy.Just then, Emma appeared at the end of the hall.

    Merit’s hands closed around a heavy object when Benjamin turned back to Eleanor. Before she could even raise the object to strike, Benjamin lunged at her with incredible speed. Merit tried to dodge, but he was too fast. He caught her by the throat and lifted her off the ground, squeezing with all his strength.Merit gasped for air as she struggled to break free, but Benjamin's grip was too strong. She could feel her vision starting to fade as the world around her turned black.Suddenly, Benjamin was thrown back by a force. Merit crashed to the ground, gasping for breath as she tried to regain her bearings.

    Eleanor slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing with a dull ache. She blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the darkness that surrounded her. Panic rose within her as she realized that she had no memory of how she ended up here.As she tried to get up, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle and winced. Her heart was pounding now as she looked around the room, hoping to find some clue as to where she was. But the room was empty, except for a single chair in the corner.She tried to shout for help, but her voice was hoarse and barely audible. Suddenly, the lights came on, and she squinted, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness.To her horror, she saw two figures standing in front of her, smirking evilly. It was Merit and Benjamin.She attempted to get up, but her ankle throbbed with pain, and she collapsed back onto the ground."Merit!” She said in shock from seeing her. “What the hell is going on?" Eleanor demanded, her voice strained.Merit stepped forward and delivered a hot sl

    Drakken sighed heavily as he stood up from his desk, shuffling papers into neat piles before grabbing his black leather jacket from the back of his chair. He had been looking forward to this meeting for days, hoping to persuade the Vampire King to leave the palace and take his daughter with him. He was also about to send word to Eleanor that he wouldn't be joining her tonight. But now, with the news that George had just delivered, his mind was elsewhere."You were right about Gwendolyn," George was saying. "I caught her...with one of the palace guards."Drakken shook his head disapprovingly. "I told you so. It's best to forget about Gwendolyn. She isn't good for you. You'll find your mate soon enough."George nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "And you deserve to be with yours.""I will be dismissing Gwendolyn and her father from the palace tonight. It's long overdue."As a slight frown appeared on George's face at the news, Drakken felt frustrated with his fri

    Eleanor stirred in her bed and tried to shake off the remnants of sleep. She rubbed her bleary eyes and groaned, dragging herself out of bed as the carpeted floorboards protested beneath her weight as if voicing their own complaints about being disturbed so early in the morning. Eleanor stumbled into the bathroom, staring at her haggard reflection in the mirror and wondering how she would make it through the day.She was feeling restless that morning, and so she opted for a run. That was the only thing that could calm her, or at least she hoped.Eleanor put on her running shoes, tied her hair in a ponytail, and started to jog toward the forest at the back of the palace.As she entered the forest, she felt the cool breeze on her face, and her mind started to clear. She was running at a steady pace, but soon, she felt that same sensation that she always felt when she came here- like something was about to burst out of her.Eleanor stopped in her tracks and knelt down on the ground.
