29 ALEXANDER My body was burning in the intensity of lust and desire that was putting my body on fire. Vaguely aware of the inexplicable, sticky feeling of extreme heat and wetness of my skin underneath my tux, and I groaned, unable to stop the relentless thumping of my heart against my chest. Reaching my hands to my neck, I loosened my tie a little, wanting to get rid of the moisture that formed around my chest, back and thighs, after the most amazing dance I just had with my sexy-ass gorgeous mate. A cocky smile crept its way to my face, thinking of Eleanor. My Eleanor. How that small, perky body of hers reacted exactly the way I wanted it to with my every move. Shaking my head, I continued to walk to the bartender when someone spoke. “Here comes the lucky bastard,” I darted my eyes to the source of that voice. Inwardly rolling my eyes as I already had an idea of who it was. “Elijah,” I narrowed my eyes at him. The only man who had the audacity to call me a fucking bastard, my
ELEANOR I squinted at Alexander whose face suddenly turned awry the second I whipped my head to eye him. He puffed out his chest, and ambled towards our direction. In an instant, my body stiffened. His cerulean blue eyes pierced through me like a dagger, forcing me to furrow my brows in confusion. Why is he looking at me like that? He stops a meter away from the table, holding out two glasses of drinks in his hand. Staring down at me before shifting his gaze towards Ezekiel. Alexander raised a black brow while Ezekiel leaned his back in his chair, crossing his legs in front of him. The corner of his lips arching up into a smirk. “Sorry I took too long.” He stated. Setting the drinks down on the table before jamming his hands in his front pockets. For a brief moment, silence fell upon us. Rising from my seat, I examined his face. The firm line that formed under his cheek revealed his tightly clenched jaw. I then cleared my throat before parting my lips for words. “Alex, this is E
BARBARAThe music of loud party dancing filled my ears. I rested my forearms on the bar counter, crossing my milky legs on top of the other as I felt several pairs of eyes all over me at this very moment. I could feel them leave traces of lust and desire as their eyes traveled all the way down to the spot in between my legs, but I couldn't bring myself to give two shits when my body is trembling out of pure, delicious excitement. Although it was short-lived. The sudden feeling of his crotch grazing my belly at that time left a spark which triggered something deep within. An overwhelming desire and want I haven't been able to feel for somebody else. Well, except for one particular man. I downed my drink the next second his face popped up into my head.Sigh."Hey, can I buy you a drink?" A tall well-muscled man with the blonde hair and ocean blue eyes looking like in his late twenties swiftly landed his ass on the seat right next to me. His flirtatious smile and narcissistic appeal only
ELEANOR Alpha Arragon looked at me straight in the eye, and he didn’t blink. Not even once. “So?” He raised a brow. I find myself glancing towards Alexander, who looked over me nodding in approval. Bringing my eyes back to Alpha Arragon, I gulped and racked my brain for words. “I am willing, Alpha.” I said. Although I’m not sure how I could eradicate his doubts about Mike’s unreasonable way of doing and dealing with things, at the very least, I wanted to be able to make a change in my pack. I got to at least try, don’t I? “Very well. Tomorrow, I will be sending my people to observe your old pack. After the investigation is done, we will send for you to face your parents in front of the alliance.” He stated. The Alliance is a group of ten representatives from each pack, chosen by the moon goddess to pass judgements on the crimes of those in the higher-ups, including alphas.Nodding in response, I stifled another moan as the sweltering heat began to intensify within me, most espec
ALEXANDERI sniff the air, my brows furrowing at the smell of arousal mixed with Eleanor's scent. 'Aphrosidiac!' Loki rumbles and sends a furious growl to reverberate in my chest. "Eleanor. Why do you--" Eleanor's head drops on my shoulder as I turn to examine her face.Her cheeks blushed red, her eyes clenched and her mouth releasing soft, breathy moans, making me lick my lips and think of devouring her top to bottom."Alpha, is everything alright?" The driver asks, peering at our reflection on the front-view mirror."No, keep driving. Fast." I ordered.He nodded before stepping on the gas.I held Eleanor in my arms, watching her pant as she tried to take off all her clothes, shifting into several positions in her seat. "A-Alex.." She reaches for my cheek but I caught her hand, shaking my head at her."Eleanor you have to endure it. We're almost home," I tell her but her ears seemed closed. She wasn't hearing anything I was saying to her, and I stopped trying to reach for her unde
ELEANOR It hurts. My head hurts. I groan, slowly turning my body over before prying my eyes open to a blinding light of warm, golden sunlight slipping through the gap of gray black out curtains facing me. I whimper as my body feels like it's been run over by a truck, and I couldn't move a damn muscle. I feel paralyzed and well, like shit. Literally. My stomach heaves and I close my eyes again for a moment, battling an uninvited nausea as I try to recall what on earth had transpired last night. Even through the shooting pain that sends a throbbing ache all over me, wrapping my body whole like a disease that has infiltrated my blood without much of a warning. My brows furrow as images from last night begin to flood my mind like a massive, rising wave about to splash over me. "Eleanor..." Alexander's dangerously sexy, husky voice being whispered into my ear was the next thing that that filled my mind momentarily, echoing through my mental walls as I tune in to the seductive tone in h
ELEANORAlexander wipes away my tears as he gives me a confused look.I smile at him, shaking my head as if nothing happened. I drop my eyes to my lower body before glancing up at his handsome face. His platinum blonde hair all messed up however it did nothing to compromise his deathly handsome appearance.I gulp before parting my lips, feeling his intense gaze on me, most especially my body sticking out in his room, half-naked. My cheeks flushed red, and I turn my head to the side, averting my eyes from his knowing I wouldn’t be able to hold his stare for too long.“C-Can I ask you something?”“I’m all ears, princess” He says softly, staring down at me while I twirl my hair around my finger nervously.“Did something happen between us... last night?” I ask bashfully, completely ignoring his gaze penetrating me to the core.For a moment, he didn’t say a word, and I began to wonder whether he heard me or not.I hear him chuckle lightly before he said, “If you’re worried about that, then
ELEANOR I stared up at him. Heat burning across my skin as though fire was spreading right through me, brought by the intensity of his lust-filled gaze. Dropping my eyes to the tiled floor, I bit my lower lip. Hesitant and afraid to meet his stare head on when my heart still can’t stop beating wildly at the moment. His face shooting me a scrutinizing look probably because I have made it too clear I craved for him, truthfully. Shit. I gulped. If this was my imagination, I would have slapped myself across the face without pouring another damn thought. "Is something wrong?" The confusion showing in his face escalated into worry. Brows furrowing at my expense. I shook my head, forcing my eyes to gaze into him before allowing a small, innocent smile that’s crept up my face. He uses his fingers to hold my chin up, and I swept my gaze across the floor towards his impeccably handsome features. His piercing blue eyes staring down at me with pure, evident lust. “I-I gotta take a shower,” I
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
