Elena - POV"Nothing," Silas added with his poker face, and I glared at him in response."Don't make me use mind-reading magic on you," I growled. He sighed and shook his head at my threat."Fine, I'll tell you," Silas said, looking at me, but his frown of concern had me worried. "You know I'm scared, Elena. Will I be a good father? I don't know how a family works in the first place..." I interrupted his speech and placed my finger on his lips. I took his hand and placed it on my baby bump."My intuition tells me, Silas, that you will be a brilliant father. I understand your doubts. Emily told me we would be great parents." I kissed his lips, and Silas relaxed upon hearing my words, his lips grazing against mine."I miss this," Silas mumbled as his lips kissed my collarbone, and his hand held my nape firmly. My hands tangled in his silk hair as he cradled me and led me to the room. Seeing his naked body made my heart race. Silas undressed me slowly, nibbling on my skin, and I couldn't
Elena - POVSilas and I stood next to the cribs, gazing at our little boys, who were sound asleep after a lot of fuss. Carefully, we tiptoed out of the room, ensuring we did not wake them. Silas held my hand and led me to the kitchen, leaving me puzzled."Why are we going to the kitchen?" I asked, my tired gaze betraying my confusion."Because you need to eat, El. You barely had anything for dinner," Silas replied."But the chefs are off duty, so who will cook? I'm too lazy to make something," I muttered. Silas smirked at me."What?" I asked, staring at his smirk."I'll cook for you, El." Silas guided me to a small chair and went to the kitchen counter, donning an apron over his shirtless frame. His muscular shoulders made me drool as Silas rummaged through the fridge. I couldn't help but feel a stir of desire in the pit of my stomach, hoping he hadn't picked up on it."Do you want scrambled eggs or a chicken sandwich?" he asked. Inwardly relieved, I sighed."A chicken sandwich," I ans
Elena - POV"There is no way that's true!" Tears streamed down my face as I sat in the doctor's office and learned I had only a year to live."I apologize, Ms. Hayes. I wish we could do more to help you recover from this disease." Dr. Marsh's voice took on a sympathetic tone as he spoke."I am just 26 years old. I am not prepared for my life to end in a year." My sobs intensified, and Dr. Marsh gave me a mournful look."I'm willing to pay whatever you need to come up with a cure for this disease," I begged."Ms. Hayes, we will try, but I cannot guarantee we will have the drug ready in time. We will need to do research since this ailment has never occurred to anybody before," Dr. Marsh said. I didn't know what to say; I was too numb to move from my chair. Despite hearing this, I left Dr. Marsh's office and walked to my vehicle, and my chauffeur drove me to my office.I didn't want anyone, not even Jake, my fiancé, to know about my condition, because I was afraid he would worry. I would
Silas - POV"She is our second chance, mate, Silas," my wolf Ray purred happily."She's human, Ray. I'm doubtful. Maybe we should check with the pack elders. Our mate could be a late shifter or just a human," I said, trying not to inhale the sweet smell of jasmine that overwhelmed me."Is she going to be okay?" Ray asked with concern. We had used healing magic on her bruised arm and forehead."She should be fine, but we can have the pack doctor confirm," I replied. Since our mate died, Ray and I had learned to use basic healing magic, but we were still amateurs at treating someone."Alpha, this woman in your arms looks familiar, but isn't she human?" My beta, Yuri, approached me."Yuri, get the pack, doctor," I instructed, and she nodded before walking away. I carried the unknown woman to my manor."Ray, listen to me. Suppress this mate bond and keep your emotions in check. I'm suspicious about this woman. How did she enter Wolfland when it's secured by invisible magic to safeguard us
Elena—POVI blink my eyes, feel the soft bed under me, and look around. The dull pain in my head was still there. I recall the images of a handsome hunk and his enormous dick.“Jeez, I sound like a pervert,” I muttered.“So, still thinking about my Dick,” I gasped, hearing the deep voice. My gaze met the blue ocean orbs in the dim light. He smirked at me. I struggled hard to keep blushing under his stare.“No,” I whispered, trying to conceal my embarrassment. He smirked at me. I averted my gaze from him, so I could breathe, as his intense gaze made me vulnerable.“Where am I” pulling myself from this strange warm feeling around this man.“Wolf Land,” he replied. It tore his expression as if he wanted to avoid saying that. But when he told Wolf Land, the image of him transforming in front of my car appeared, and fear gripped me as I clenched onto the bedsheet.“Wolf Land. Where in the world is this place” I asked, trying to look around, not him. As my heartbeat fastens because I am conf
Elena—POV"Mr. Ford," I said as he stepped out of the elevator, holding his suitcase and key. He gazed at me, surprised, but maintained his arrogant demeanour. I stepped aside to let him pass."Are you staying in the penthouse next to me?" I asked."Hmmm," he replied."Cool, then we'll be neighbours. And I wanted to thank you for saving my life," I said with a smile. He nodded and walked away without saying anything, leaving me frustrated by his cold arrogance.As soon as I stepped out of the building, the media swarmed around me like vultures and paparazzi, taking pictures and thrusting microphones at me. My security team made a path for me to get into my car.I tried not to think about the rumours that my ex-fiancé, Jake, was spreading to ruin my career. But as soon as I got to my office, Janice told me the producers were waiting for me."Ms. Hayes, right on time," Producer Christian said with a smile."I take my work and time seriously," I replied, taking my seat."We know that, but
Elena -POVI sat up on the couch and noticed an empty whisky bottle. Great, that explains my intense headache - it's a hangover. I struggled to find some medication to ease the pain, but after a few minutes, I managed to locate some. As I looked around the messy room, the doorbell rang, and I knew it was my maid. I opened the door to find Mr. Ford dressed impeccably."Still hungover," he said coldly."No shit, Sherlock," I snapped, worsening my headache. He frowned at me for lashing out."I came here to talk business, but it doesn't seem like the right time.""Wait, don't you dare walk away from me," I growled. Mr.Ford ignored me and stepped into the elevator. I followed him in, and he gave me a glance from head to toe. I saw myself still in camisole-laced pyjamas, which showed too much skin. I didn't care, though, as I was more focused on getting his answers."You're so eager to know," he said, sounding unexpectedly sexy and deep. I couldn't help but stare at him."Of course I am. You
Elena - POVThe maid had just finished cleaning the room as I dressed in formal clothes to head to the office. I needed to discuss with my team how to handle the situation that was turning against me in the media and on social media, and I also needed to find a new project for myself. Unfortunately, news had already reached the other producers that Christian had backed out on me, and they had boycotted me.Dragging myself to the office after so much turmoil running through me and my sickness getting the better of me, Janice had booked the appointment back with Dr. Rudolf.The team's spirits seemed low beneath their straight faces, much like the fake expression I had pulled up on my face. Janice started the meeting, and the PR team made excuses to cover up my tainted reputation. However, their ideas fail if we put such baseless arguments into the news. It wouldn't work well for me.The frustration was building up within me as I thought about how I had put my trust in a snake-like human

Elena - POV "Arf," I blinked as I saw Bruno climb up with a beaming smile and a wagging tail. "Bruno, how often have I told you not to wake me up? I hardly slept," I growled as I tried to sit on my bed, but it was difficult with my growing baby bump, so I lay back down. "Master..." "How many times have I told you to call me Elena? Bruno," I hissed. He looked at me with sad eyes, but I couldn't resist petting his head as he nuzzled me, bringing me a smile. "Elena, I was told to wake you up. Silas said you need to take your medication on time," Bruno informed me. I sighed and groaned, attempting to sit up once again. "El, take it easy," Silas approached, setting the breakfast tray aside and helping me. He filled the tray with honey waffles and poured some pomegranate juice, although it wasn't to my liking. "You should eat, El. Stop petting that dog," Bruno and Silas growled at each other while I took a bite of the food. "Elena, how about you find me a mate?" Bruno asked, ignoring
Yuri - POV"What is the mate hunt?" Elena asked as she stepped out of the shower, still looking exhausted from the morning sickness."No, there's no need to keep a mating hunt ritual," Alpha Silas said as he brought fruit juice for Elena. Alpha had been learning to cook from chefs, and it was interesting to see him wearing an apron stained with various messes as he brought the waffles. Elena smiled at him gratefully."I think you're right, Alpha," I added with a tired sigh, sipping hot coffee to keep my sleepy brain active."No, I need to know. Yuri, tell me about the mate hunt ritual," Elena growled, stabbing the waffles furiously."Alright, I'll tell you," I said, setting my coffee down. "Elena, you must shift into wolf form and race in the woods before Alpha Silas shifts and chases you. He will mark your wolf, and you will mark his. That's the essence of the mate hunt ritual," I explained. Elena's eyes gleamed with excitement at the thought of the hunt. I glanced at Alpha Silas, who
Elena - POVI scrolled through the article about our movie's success. The Forbidden Alpha Mate had won over a legion of fans. Drake had been named Handsome Man of the Year by several magazines. His numerous female followers treated him like a highly sought-after commodity. I could only imagine how irritating it must be for him, always being the center of attention, yet he seemed to play the role of a playboy perfectly. My car came to a halt, and I stepped out."Ma'am, this way," my new secretary, Monica, rushed to me. Puzzled, I detected a faint scent of Silas."Silas, are you here in New York?" I tried contacting him through our mental link but have not responded."Ms. Hayes," Monica called again."Yes, I'm coming," I responded, walking towards the stage. Cameras and reporters were ready with their microphones and notepads.As the interview began, I focused on remaining calm and answering the journalists' questions."Ms. Hayes, we've heard rumors you're dating Mr. Silas Ford. Are you
Elena - POVSilas and Emily reunited, their reunion characterized by an embrace that radiated the warmth of a mother-son bond that had been dormant until now. Silas and I returned home, clinging to each other, the fear of his disappearance lingering."El, I'm right here," Silas whispered."Silas, I'm scared. You can't blame me for holding you this tightly," I replied, smirking, his eyes dancing with a lust that made me gasp."How about I prove to you that I'm alive?" he suggested in a purr, igniting a spark within me. Noticing my arousal, Silas smirked."You're a naughty one, El," he teased, causing a blush on my cheeks. As Silas's lips approached mine, I closed my eyes, eager for the touch of his firm lips on mine, and yearned for him to claim me once again. But instead of feeling his lips on mine, I saw his deep blue eyes teasing me."I have a different idea. I'll put on a show for you, but if you touch me, I won't let you taste what you're clearly longing for," I responded with a sm
Six months laterElena - POVThe Pack prospered, but my heart was constantly aching as Emily and I relentlessly tried to bring Silas back to life. Each attempt was met with disappointment. As I emerged from the depths of despair, I saw Emily waiting."Are you out of your mind?" Emily questioned. Her fury was ignited when I suggested we could stage a scenario where I was under threat by entering the den of the rogue wolves. Silas's wolf might come to the surface, allowing us to track it. Emily was clearly unhappy with the idea of me getting injured."Emily, we've exhausted every other option, and they've all failed. I'm willing to try this. If I get hurt, I can withstand it." I assured her calmly. Emily responded with a shake of her head and a grimace. Yuri and Mac entered, delivering reports on the Pack's inventory, finances, and security changes."Yuri, do you support Elena's insane idea?" Emily questioned. Yuri sighed, neither pleased with my plan nor with Mac's agreement."Fine, dis
Elena - POV "Elena, let's play with our prey. I can't let this jerk die so easily," Celeste suggested. Agreeing with her, the fight turned brutal. We took a few blows, strategically weakening our opponent, Rover, who began to believe he had the upper hand. As he aimed his claw at my throat to finish me, I seized an opening and struck him so forcefully that he collapsed to the ground. Rover shook his head as he got up from the blow, fury in his eyes as he leaped at me again. Using a wolf punch, I hit him in the gut and used my claws to tear his guts out. Gasps from the crowd echoed as I stood, having defeated all fifty participants for the Alpha title. My leg gave out as I shifted back to human form, my skin covered in blood and flesh. The stench made me nauseous. Yuri rushed to me, provided me with some cover, and helped me get home. I threw up violently, cleaned myself, and attended to my wounds, which still took time to heal. Emily applied ointments to my wounds, causing me to m
Elena - POV I shivered, the sensation of blood and torn flesh in my hand, as tears filled my eyes. Yuri had removed Elders from sight, and I found myself slumped on the ground, gazing at Henry's lifeless body. My tears weren't for the man I had killed but from regret. If only I could have transformed sooner, stood by Silas's side, and faced death alongside him rather than endure this life without him. "Elena," Drake said, embracing me as my sobs echoed in the quiet surroundings. I had lost track of time, distancing myself from the reality of the situation. "Thank you," I managed to whisper once I had no tears to shed. Drake's clothes were stained with blood, a vivid reminder of my deeds of killing Henry as he was next to me. "I'm sorry." "Don't be," he responded gently, his gaze softening. With his help, I managed to stand, only to see the place where Henry's body lay had been cleaned. I turned to Drake in surprise. "Yuri took care of it," he replied. Struggling to distance m
