ELEANOR I walk over to the huge glass window overlooking the forest within their territory. My eyes gleamed as I gripped the ledge, looking down at the forest down below. The silver moonlight shone upon the trees, highlighting its the raindrops that splattered over the leaves after the rain. It was astonishing, I thought. A sigh slips from my lips, All these years, I suppressed my desire to shift and feel the earth under my paws for the first time since I was born. When I shifted in my room on the night of my 13th birthday, I was never allowed to shift ever again. Even when I finally fled the werewolf world and moved to the human city, I couldn't do what my body so desperately calls for. I couldn't risk shifting into my wolf, or it would either be the cold, isolating prison or some creepy, insane research facility I would be placed for a fucking experiment or worse, torture. I had to stay lowkey if I wanted to keep my identity a secret from the humans. Goddess knows what would have
ELEANORI just needed to take a breather for the first time in a long while before I stare into the face of reality right ahead of me. For the first time, I wanted to feel what it's like to be a wolf. I want to feel the rain patter on the ground as I feel the earth with my paws knowing they would take me wherever I wanted to go. I want to feel the wind brushing through my fur and simply enjoy running around with my wolf. I wanted to run. Maybe I always had but the thought of seeing my blood wolf scared me. All this time I've been holding her back, keeping her locked up in a cage somewhere deep within me to make sure the curse is kept well hidden too. I realize how wrong I have always been once I finally let my wolf go. When Ares took the reins from me, you have no idea how good that felt to me. I was relieved as I heaved out a deep sigh before letting my wolf take over.Alex seemed to have gotten the wrong idea here though. I wasn't trying to kill myself by jumping off the edge of a
UNKNOWN POV Victor is still no show. Where the fuck is the guy? I roll my eyes, tossing what's left of my cigarette to the bin. I've tried calling him, but it was no use. Tch! Useless son of a b*tch. You can't even trust him to do one thing right. He talks too fucking much, and yet where the fuck is he? I grunt, punching the wall in my bedroom hard as I could. Gritting my teeth, I shove my hands in my pocket, grabbing my phone. I go to the message app and started typing. 'She's back. What are you going to do next, Victor? Do you plan to hide in your little office forever?' I read my message one more time before pressing send. I took a deep breath before tidying up my suit. Looking down on my all white tuxedo, paired with a matching black tie, and black pants and shoes to go with it, I nod in satisfaction before exiting my secret room. I spot a petite girl, and the sight of her long, blue hair had me hard at the very spot I stood now.We were at the hallway, and no one comes her
ALEXANDER 'Run, Eleanor!' I yell through the mindlink, urging my mate to get up and follow me.She obeys me and kicks her legs, and we ran faster and faster as we made our way back to the packhouse.My heart is pounding as the memory of my past comes back to haunt me. I shook my head, trying to focus on running instead. But those images of that day my parents died has long been imprinted in my mind. I couldn't choose to avoid it. Everyday, it gets harder and harder for me to ignore each one of them flashing before my eyes. As if the past doesn't want me to forget. As though it wants me to relive every single moment, as though it wants me to feel the pain seven times more. 'Alex, you're eyes' A voice snaps, pulling me out of my thoughts. 'It's flashing red,'I blinked hard, closing my eyes for a short moment in a bid to I glance over at Eleanor who nudged my wolf and gazed up into my eyes. Her eyes glistening under the moonlight let me know how she felt deep inside. She was worried
ELEANORI grit my teeth as I bit back the tears. The pain and frustration. It's happening again. Just like what I've been through in my old pack. My heart is pounding, and all I hear is the crowd whispering, spatting hateful words against me and my blood wolf. My heart throbs, and I whimpered. Tears stung my eyes but I blinked them back hard. I am not going to cry. Not now. Not ever. Not when I just accepted myself for who I really am. I took some steps backwards but Alexander's loud, thunderous growl brought silence to the entire hall in just a second.I could feel his aura leaking from his body. His dominance spread throughout the hall, making everyone freeze. Their mouths were suddenly zipped shut as they stood upstraight, hands on the sides with their heads lowered in submission. Slowly, Alex shifted back to his human form. No one said a word even as he stood naked in front of the whole crowd, trembling in fear knowing they have unintentionally awakened their alpha's wrath. His
DANEERA"FIND HIM! CLOSE THE GATES!" The halls resounded with Alexander's command, causing the floor to quiver under my feet as if the peace surrounding the earth's core had just been shattered. Maybe it was the thumping fear that held my neck tight, but I could feel my limbs fail me. I stood still as Alexander's eyes coldly pierced me, making me sweat and pause my breath. "No one will leave this room until I say so." I heard him inhale sharply and when my eyes darted around the place, I noticed the people's faces tense up. He looks around and sees no movement. His brow cocked, jaw locked, and within a second, the whole pack house vibrated with a groundbreaking growl!"What are you fucking staring at?! FIND HIM!" Alexander roars angrily, "MOVE!"No answer was necessary. Neither was there space for any complaint. People crowded, and all of a sudden, people mounted, disappearing from my sight as they streamed outside the pack house. I wanted to follow but my legs decided otherwise, maki
ALEXANDERMy brother..I slash the wind with the breath I inhaled as I walked out of the pack house. Believe it or not, my body was more than capable of reacting to the information of my brother being abducted. My limbs felt like they had just been pummeled, unwilling to move or even pulsate. My eyes shut themselves close for a second. And although I had just basked in my mate's presence, my ribs still ached a sorrowful beating. Adrian, I grit. Adri-fucking-an. Adrian. If anything happened to him, I would--I stop in the middle of the woods. My hands reached for the trunk beside me as I find rest in silently leaning against the unaware and unmoving tree. I sniff and instantly notices an omega's scent wandering aimlessly. I sniff again. There was a familiar odor ambling in the air. A smell so familiar my nose itches. I look at the ground and notice prints all over it. Someone must have rammed their fists into it. I narrow my eyes and with closer inspection, I realize something else. Th
ELEANOR"Are you sure this is a good idea?" My mate tugs my hand and pulls me back as I was about to spring the doors open. I glance at him and reassures him with a smile."What choice do we have?" I ask, "If we get the council to help us, it'll be easier for us to find your brother and my father." I try to turn again towards the doors but he yanks my hand again and holds me closer.He gazes at me with concern, "Our packs are already working together, aren't they? Isn't that enough?""Listen, do you want to find your brother or not?" That question seemed to throw him off, making him grit in silence. He nods and I caress his cheek, "We got this. We'll just barge in and ask them kindly for their help." He almost took me in for a kiss again but I immediately threw myself around and walked towards the door.After that event in the woods, I can't allow myself to be swayed by him again. I can't allow myself to be controlled by such lascivious desires because then, I'll hate myself. Hate myse
