ELEANOR My wolf growled furiously at the sight of a 5-feet and five inches tall girl, wearing a midnight blue tea length dress coupled with sparkling modern Cinderella glass heels. She was incredibly gorgeous. Her delicate features had given away her innocence and purity, while the minimalistic accessories decorating her from head to toe boldly revealed her extreme wealth. I couldn’t help but glance back down at my body. Feeling too simple and rather small, I pressed my lips together glancing over at my mate. Would Alex’s eyes hurt if I only wore the golden gem necklace he had gifted me several months ago, unlike Diana over there looking all prettified and adorned with small, sparkling diamonds all over her dress. I also couldn’t held but notice she had an awfully fair skin, plump red lips and tall bridged nose. Oddly, she had the same color of eyes with Imogen. I wonder if they’re related… Ares growled from within me and made a futile attempt to snatch the reins and take full contro
DIANA Ten years ago..."Ahh..ahh..ahhh" His quick, shallow thrusts made squirting sounds echoing in the cave. "Diana..." He grunted, sweat trickling down his face and some dripping onto my skin. My skin crawled at the feeling of someone else's sweat, and my face momentarily contorted from a look of pleasure to that of disgust.I rolled my eyes inwardly, disgusted yet at the same time aroused at how swiftly he managed to make me cum twice in a row.I tugged at his rough hair as he pulled his throbbing cock out then slammed hard inside me again. "Ooohhhh!" I moaned, arching my back upward. I threw my head back letting my forehead met the large rock he had pushed me up against before stripping me down to my lace underwear. The man had been adamant in getting into my pussy. So, I wanted him to have a taste of the sweetest, and most delicious pussy he can ever get his hands on.Me.I jerked my hips up and down to meet each of his brutal thrusts. My body quivered as I finally squirted my
ALEXANDERTen years ago..."You think she'll like this?" I glance over at Derek, holding up the human-sized pink teddy bear by the back of its neck and a glittery card that says, 'Happy Birthday, love' in my other hand. I cringed just by looking at the words. "Dude, you're the boyfriend. You should knows what she likes." Derek nudges me, whilst I retreat, shooting him my deadly glare."Useless scum." I mutter, tossing the big-ass teddy bear back in its place. We were at the local department store, searching for a birthday gift for my girlfriend, Diana. She and I have been dating for exactly a year by the next moon. My wolf growled furiously, scolding me again for taking someone who is not my mate as a girlfriend. I've turned eighteen last year, and no mate ever showed up. 'She'll come.' Loki encouraged. 'I just know it.' He stated firmly but I ignore him, letting my eyes scan the big bunch of stuffed animals of different varieties. A growl escapes my lips when my eyes fell on a wo
ELEANORHis body was trembling, and I couldn't help but feel pity for him for what that woman has put him through. I didn't really understand how anyone could dare break his heart. But, judging from his tears, I figured he must have loved her at some point in the past. "What happened then?" I made sure to make my voice sound soft, not wanting to startle him. His face darkened, forcing his eyes on the road up front. Suddenly, I regret having had the urge to ask that question. I didn't even think if he wanted to rummage through the darkness of his past."I'm sorry.. I shouldn't ha--""I went back to my pack, but when I got there, it was war. Your father and mine were attempting to put an end to the feud between our packs. But that didn't end well and instead, took both my parents' lives while protecting me. I was still weak, too weak to fight and even defend myself because of the fact that I've been delaying my training for months." He explained.Silence fell inside the car and I purs
DIANA'S POV: I screamed from the top of my lungs. I had locked myself up in the bathroom ever since that coward of a boyfriend I have had turned his back on me and took off with his new bitch. My body is shaking violently as I recall that woman’s face. The bitch who stole what was originally mine, what should have been mine. As he was for years. He just didn’t want to admit it. My head jolts upwards, forcing my eyes to stare at myself in the mirror. My black smoky eyeshadow was now smudged and scattered around my eyes, making me look like a raccoon. I let a curse slip from my mouth, my tongue darting across my lips as I hissed and punched the bathroom mirror and screamed. Pieces of broken glass scattered everywhere on the floor, some grazing my skin, though they healed almost immediately. I cursed into the air again, envisioning that slimy little bitch clutching onto Alexander. My Alexander. My forehead creased as I glared at the shattered pieces of glass on the tiled floor. Who the
ELEANOR'S POV:"Are you coming?" I glanced at the man sitting on the driver's side of the car, his body seemingly frozen despite the warmth of the afternoon sun.I grappled with the thought of advancing towards him and moving forward to our destination. But I stayed still and held back my tongue as the man's figure began shifting. I could hear the deep breaths he heaved and sense his fingers quivering slightly.The door opens, retching a man with an ashen face, his muscles tightly gripped by the black suit he was wearing. He looks at me and smiles, obviously forcing his lips to. But I did the same as I held out my hand for him to clasp.This isn't easy for the both of us and as we walk on the footpath, the thrashing within my chest informed me of the fact that it will never get any better for us. Coming to this place will never be easy.Then again, how could it be any easier? When breathing the cool air felt like taking in nails through your nose. When stepping on the grass felt like
ELEANORWe stayed for another half an hour before heading back to the car. The drive on our way home was silent, seemingly eerie, and somewhat scary. For the first time, Alex refused to speak to me. Did I slap him too hard? I wasn't sure. But, all of a sudden, he's gone cold on me. Was it because of something I said? I just wanted to lift his spirits up, maybe encourage both of us to keep on moving forward because I lost my dad too. He wasn't the perfect father. Always neglecting his child and throwing himself to work as the alpha, trying to find the perfect solutions to all of the pack issues at the same time looking for a way to practically conquer the world and make his pack rise to the top. He was ambitious, my father. Too thirsty for power, too desperate for a glory he so desires as an alpha. So much so that everything he had just wasn't enough. But then again, no parent in this world is. At the very least, he gave me a roof over my head, food to fill my belly, and a warm bed to s
ELEANOR'S POV"Really? That is so funny!" Diana squealing like a fat pig hurt my ears. Alex immediately halts in his stance, and suddenly his eyes glowed, pinning Diana where she sat on the sofa across Imogen, sipping her cup of tea. The strong aroma of ginseng intruded my nose, and I scrunched my face instinctively, not liking the ghastly smell entering my system.I narrowed my eyes at Diana, now wearing a completely different dress from what she wore back in the Lycan mansion. What the hell is she doing here? I thought scanning her appearance.She was wearing a fitted red cocktail dress, adorned with sparkly pink sequins, purposely cut and designed in parts to show off more skin. Perfect for seducing men. My blood boiled in intense anger whilst my wolf snapped.'Do you see what she's trying to do here? She obviously wants to seduce our mate!' I could feel she was forced on her edge. Knowing Ares, she probably wouldn't hesitate to shift right here, right now, if ever Diana succee
ELEANOR FIVE YEARS LATER Hmm. French toast. Waffles. Cereal. Biscuits. Cinamon rolls. Croissants. Bacon and eggs. Oh, and how could I forget? Alex's favorite breakfast burrito. I smiled to myself as I arranged all the food I made onto the trays. I picked up the first one, glancing over the other where my son, Elias', food awaits. The urge to scoop it up from the kitchen table was strong. Moments after staring at it like a creep, I lift Elias' tray with my free hand while holding the first tray with the other. After managing to balance their weight on my already trembling hand, I slowly make a U-turn from the kitchen, heading to the table where I'm supposed to set the trays. 1,2,3 steps. You got this, Eleanor. You just got to-- "How many times do I have to fucking tell you, Ellie?" Electrifying chills vibrated through my body as I whipped around to find Alex squinting at me, his face darkening. His platinum blond hair a hot, sexy mess from our little exercise last night. Well, li
ALEXANDERI've been pacing around these halls for nearly an entire fucking hour. After Ellie's water broke when she was fucking washing the dishes, like I fucking told her not to do, I was lucky to have Elijah and Vera there watching over her in case something happened. He'd linked me up and told me right away what had happened. I was in a meeting then, discussing pack negotiations, alliances, and rogue sightings type of shit. I didn't expect my pup to come at the only day I was forced to attend one of these meetings. Other alphas were becoming upset at my decreasing appearances. If Elijah had not convinced me she'd be safe with him and Vera this morning, I wouldn't have left. And I fucking wished I hadn't. Then I wouldn't have arrived late and had to get Elijah to take my place, and Vera wouldn't fucking let Elijah go anywhere by himself. Those two are inseparable.I felt something touch my shoulder and I whipped around ready to tell whoever this fucker is to leave me the heck alone
ELEANOR “What do you think of this?” Laura gently nudges my arm, showing me the digital photo of a long, poppy red evening dress covered in shiny crimson sequins from top to bottom. I smile awkwardly, unable to bring myself to tell her that every dress she’s found so far was either way too revealing or simply too much. “Well, it’s a mating ceremony. It doesn’t have to be so…grand,” I tell her, and she stares at me in disbelief before letting out a sigh. “It’s precisely because it’s a mating ceremony that everything must look grand! If not, you are allowing yourself to miss out on your own event!” Laura huffs, her eyes squinting at the sight of me and my distaste for grand things. The exasperated look on her face brings out a giggle from my lips as I watch her continue scrolling through the dozens of dresses in the most successful clothing companies worldwide, making me wonder… “Then why don’t you come up with a design of your own? I’d be glad if it’s a dress you designed that I’d
ALEXANDERThe wind bristles, brushing through my locks and across my skin, though it doesn't bother me the slightest. Running my fingers through my hair, I tilt my head looking down the letters engraving his name.Taking a deep breath, I force my feet forward, force my eyes open as they focus on the lifeless ground beneath me."Hey, Adrian. Uhh...Fuck, honestly I don't know what to say to you now." I whisper into the air, picturing his piercing blue eyes which not only were identical to mine, but were also the same eyes I'd grown to hate through the years. I hated them then, because each time I look into those eyes my failures as an alpha haunted me in my sleep. Scratch that, not only my humiliating failures as an alpha, but also as a son, a brother. I gnash my teeth as my heart sinks, my head lowering for the first time for my brother's sake. I move down, I wipe away the remnants of dirt that gathered round the stone, letting a sigh fall from my lips as I stared at his name engraved w
ELEANORPretty soon, Alexander's men rounded up the rogues, keeping an eye on them in case they try to make a move. They don't, and there is no doubt from the look of betrayal and defeat in their eyes they won't risk their lives to try. Members of my pack were, in fact, pretty neutral about it. Heck, they didn't even spare a glance of pity for Sandra when they saw Alexander's warriors drag her ae rbway and force her into the car. They held no respect for her, that I was sure about. I couldn't ignore how none of them attempted to act in rescuing their new Alpha despite knowing she was being forced to step down. Weren't they concerned at all for her safety? From the looks of it, they'd rather see her step down than let her continue to be Alpha.That goes without saying, because one thing everyone in Blue Mountains Pack knows is the fact that Sandra could barely lead a pack. Let alone fulfill the duty of being a Luna. I flit my eyes between Barbara and the pack. In one split second, I no
ELEANORWe were getting near the border when I noticed a weird scent laced through the air. I couldn't pinpoint what it is, but I could feel it in my bones that it was something...dangerous.My wolf growls lowly, and I urge her to glance around for a moment, halting in her tracks. She sniffs the air as I instructed her to. Trying to see if she can find anything out of the ordinary in these parts.'Found anything?' I ask, and Ares simply shook her head though she acknowledged something felt really off. My entire body was tingling, and I wasn't sure if it was from excitement, or some other feeling brought by the effects of this pregnancy.'Why did you stop?' Laura asks, walking closer to us in her small wolf form. I find myself panting heavily, as though I had drained all my energy out from running a few miles away from the packhouse.'Just tired,' I reply, hoping she would stop questioning me any further.I didn't tell her about my pregnancy, hoping I'd be able to tell Alexander first
ELEANORMy mother looks up at him, and I could see the pain in her eyes when she spots all his wounds. Making her gasp at the bloody sight, probably wondering how he even managed to survive the fight against every Alpha in the country. All of them seemed desperate, too obsessed at the power of the blood wolf which I'm starting to realize...must be too valuable to compel a war like that. My heart instantly constricts and my chest began to feel heavy. Marcus, after seeing me as a baby, dropped with a loud thud on the cold ground. Hitting his head first as he did. "Marcus?" My mother slowly gets up before crawling to him. She began by feeling his wrist, and checking his wounds which were getting worse by the second."No,"Taking one last look at the baby, she heaves a deep breath before closing her eyes, and...healing him.Wait, but if she does that... then she...I bring my hand over my lips, watching wide-eyed as my mother continues to heal all his wounds, and soon enough, every on
ELEANOR"Hello, Eleanor.."If I was right, then this person standing in front of me now must be my..."Mother?" The word barely coming out my mouth through a whisper. My real mother.A smile covers her lips. She looks at me softly, nodding her head ever so gently like royalty at its finest.From that moment, I felt my heartbeat speed up. My hands itching to reach out and touch her in that moment, but I couldn't.She was too bright. Her body surrounded with white glowing light as she stepped out from the darkness. The scene before disappeared, and suddenly it was as if the world has erased itself from this dream."Look at you," she breathes, seemingly unable to stop her lips from reaching her ears while her eyes look me up and down. Not in a bad way, but rather in a way that you would know when someone is truly admiring you, finding themselves at awe at you presence and beauty.I plastered a smile on my face as well, mirroring just how pleased I was to finally see my real mother. Someo
ELEANORWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a big oak tree. Grass pricked my ears, letting me know I'd been lying on the ground under this oak tree for goddess knows how long. Streaks of sunlight pressed against my face warmly, compelling me too move to take in my surroundings.My brows furrow instantly when I realize I wasn't in the Red Silverwood Pack territory.I was back in mine, the Blue Mountains Pack, and I don't even know how I got here, or at least remember how I got here. With my heart racing and my body jerking forward as I scramble to my feet, I whip around. Flinching when I see Marcus walking in my direction.I froze in my spot, but a few seconds later I find myself squinting at him, my father.Why does he suddenly look so much younger now? He was getting closer, compelling me to take quick steps back and prepare for a run, but as soon as I whirl around to go for it, I stumbled on my feet letting me fall on my ass."Ouch!" I yelped, but before I could get mys
