Silas - POV"Alpha," Emma said, and I fixed my gaze on her. "Did you hear what we just asked you?" Emma asked, mildly irritated because I had zoned out."Repeat; you have my attention," I added."Alpha, the Pack has been waiting for you to have Luna secure the Pack with an heir," Emma remarked warily. "So the Pack members and Elders have agreed that you should accept another she-wolf as a Luna while rejecting your human mate?" A scowl spread across my face at Emma's request."Please calm down, Son," Freya said, but Ray took control over me, refusing to let me relinquish control."Elena is my mate and Luna, so don't you dare speak about rejecting Elena," Ray said sternly, startling everyone in the room."Silas, do you want to kill your other mate? Why are you risking a human mate's life? Reject her for her good," Terrance yelled back. Ray, whom I had lost control of, pinned Terrance against the wall and used his strength to choke him."Ray, hand the reins back to me. We must heed the ad
Elena - POV Drake and I sat together throughout the entire journey to Canada. Drake had a talent for making people happy, and his witty remarks were a hit with the team. There was a lightness in the air that lifted my spirits. I tried not to dwell on Silas's confession, but it kept intruding into my thoughts. It was still hard to accept that shifters existed and weren't just a myth. I wondered what else existed in the world. "Are you okay?" Drake asked. I gave a brief nod and forced a grin to hide my troubled expression. "Hey, I have another script idea you might like to hear," Drake said, catching me off guard. "You're a writer too? You're talented," I chimed in with enthusiasm. "Hey, I'm no writer, just an idea if you enjoy the storyline. I can hire a scriptwriter to work on it." "I'm all ears," I said. "This fictional narrative goes like this. The Dragons had all stayed together and formed clans. However, some of them became greedy for power, leading them down the wrong path
Elena - POV After Letty talked my ear off about Silas, my fury grew. Yuri had invited me to meet her after I had selected my Met Gala gown. "Ms. Hayes apologizes for keeping you waiting," the manager stated. "Welcome to the Vannel dress line." "It's OK. Can you please contact Selena for me? She had the outfit ready," I requested. The manager nodded, and a few minutes later, Selena, the owner, and chief designer of Vannel, walked in, looking sharp as ever. "How are you, darling?" Selena greeted me with a hug. "You know the drill, Selena," I chuckled. She giggled in response. "I have several lovely gowns for you," Selena said, leading the way to two stunning dresses. One was a black top with no straps and red ruffles below, giving it an eye-catching appearance. The other had a heart-shaped neckline, open slits, and a green fabric with floral patterns and crystal embellishments. "You've put in so much effort, Selena. This creation is absolutely beautiful," I admired in awe. "It me
Elena - POV It was hard to ignore Silas's presence and the pang of sadness whenever I saw him standing close to Letty. After the meet-and-greet session, Drake and I stepped onto the balcony after the meet-and-greet session to get some fresh air. "Elena, I have something to confess," Drake said abruptly, his expression serious. I braced myself for what could potentially be hidden secrets. Why did he want to divulge something to me? "I am not a struggling actor. I'm an entrepreneur, to be honest. I lied about my situation to audition for an acting opportunity." "Oh, Drake, I don't understand why you're telling me this. I apologize if I gave the impression that I judge people based on their social standing." I sipped my champagne, trying to process his revelation. "That's not the reason. I want to be honest before you hear the truth from someone else. I can't bear to see you upset and can't afford to lose your trust," Drake explained sincerely. His words made my heart skip a beat. "
Yuri - POV My thoughts and heart were in complete disarray. Letty clutched me before I could reveal the truth to Alpha. Letty showed me a video clip where she poisoned my mother's drink. According to Letty, it was a slow-acting poison, and someone provided my mother with an antidote as long as I kept silent. But if I crossed the line and told Alpha the truth about Letty's evil scheme, she would kill my mother. I couldn't discuss this issue with Mac because Letty was also keeping tabs on him and his family. I should have realized by now that Letty was an obsessed and deranged individual who would go to any lengths to make her plans succeed. It bothered me to see Elena ignoring Alpha, and I wasn't fond of the growing distance between them. I needed to seek help from Witch Emily. She could assist me in getting out of this dilemma. I tried to locate Elena and Alpha while Letty searched for Alpha Silas. Alpha Silas was trying to mend his relationship with Elena, and I didn't want Letty
Elena - POV I sit on the couch as Drake takes forever to change into another costume. Ever since his secret as a dragon shifter got out, I think he's hiding from me. Could it be possible that the Dragon narrative Drake told me about is based on actual events rather than fiction? I need to ask him. I need to know more about this magical thing surrounding me, threatening to blow my brains out. I try to brush aside the headache that keeps reappearing whenever Silas transforms into a wolf. Could it be that my body can't cope with magic, and that's why I feel this way? I can't help but wonder why these mythical beings are following me. After all, I'm just a human. "Would you like something to drink?" Drake asks as he comes out of the house in his casual attire, well-defined arms and abs visible through his fitted t-shirt. I try not to stare at him like a pervert. He pours himself a drink without looking at me. "No, what I require is the whole truth." Drake pauses in his pouring and give
Silas - POV"Can you tell me what the voice said?" I inquired."I don't recall," Elena muttered."Silas, take her back to the Moonflower Chapel. What if she meets her wolf?" Ray's voice carried desperation."No, we can't do it. Moonflower magic has adverse side effects if used more than once on a non-shifter," I replied to Ray."Why are you asking this, Silas? Does it indicate I'm a shifter?" Elena's curiosity gleamed as she questioned."Not sure," Elena's curious face gleamed, but weariness replaced it, as we had no answers. Janice stepped in with Bruno, who appeared overjoyed to meet Elena."That cretin! Stay away from my mate," Ray hissed at Bruno, who looked smugly at us while Elena took Bruno in her arms."My master adores me and lavishes me with embraces. To put it bluntly, Ray, she was terrified of you. What a tragic tale," Bruno murmured, prodding Ray even more. I had to suppress Ray from coming to the surface. Ray cursed Bruno."Shut it, pup, if you want to live," I hissed thr
Silas - POVElena and I, along with Drake, took flight, although Elena wanted me to check on Letty as she was not answering my call. I couldn't care less about her. After all, she is Alpha. Letty can handle the troubles herself. My mate is my priority over any other woman.We stepped into the morgue; the officer showed us the body. Elena came to a halt. She shivered, seeing the disfigured countenance of the corpse, which made it impossible to identify."Lyra... this is her corpse... the ring is the gift I gave her on last year's birthday," Elena said through tears. I escorted her outside the morgue, as she couldn't standalone. She shivered and cried."Elena, I have brought the evidence to light." Elena looked at me through tear-stained eyes mixed with perplexity. "The video we found on Jake's phone has been passed to the officers, and they have filed charges against Jake, so he can't have the name and fame in the human world.""Jake! That bastard is not human; he will manipulate the hu
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"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 - 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
