ELEANOR "No." "No." "No." "Sorry, no." "No, I'm very sorry, Ms. Raven." "No." "I apologize for the inconvenience, Ms. Raven." "No." I sigh as my hands fall to my side. My knees weaken at the countless and repetitive rejection my ears heard from the people I've sought employment from. I swerve from the sidewalk to the alley that seemed to offer comfort and silence for lost souls like me. The afternoon sun was blazing in its warm delight, washing my face with an orange hue. I sniff the air and note the thousand scents that ambled around me. There's the bakery across the street with its holy bread enticing every sense I had. There's the scent of unique flowers. Ones I've never seen before back in our wolf territory. There's that alluring smell of sophisticated women's necks as they walk confidently on the street, their expensive-looking bags glittering over their waists. The scent of men's cologne lingered around as I glance at several businessmen. Everything about his human ci
ELEANOR POV Three months. It had been three months since I started living on my own in this human city. And in that short time, I have learned more things about humans than I ever did in the wolf territory, where I just heard gossip about them or read about them and their irregular manner of living. It turns out that humans aren't that different from us. They eat, sleep, work, and maintain relationships all while striving to be better tools of the government. Just like how we worked and lived to benefit the leaders of our pack. I pull the covers off my face and turn to the side, groaning softly as I chide myself for thinking about the Dark Moon pack again. For allowing myself to get lost in the thoughts of the same thing I abandoned and ran from. I squeeze my eyes and hope that sleep would come visit me again. It was still dark. The morning sun doesn't rise until past five in this part of town. I can still get a few minutes of sleep until my shift in that clothing store. After being
ELEANOR POV My breath hitched when I saw my mate. His godlike face, and cerulean blue eyes that always appeared in my dreams every single night and before I wake up. My heart started pounding erratically in my chest and my hand itched to pinch myself in a bid to confirm it's really not a dream after all. The moment his gaze locked with mine, waves of electricity instantly shot through my veins like a rush of adrenaline. Suddenly, my throat felt dry and my lips quivered. I gulped. It was as if everything around me continued to move in slow motion.All I could see at this moment was him, and the way his rugged features softened when he gazed at me fondly. With longing, and unwavering desire telling me he wants me, right here, right now. Alexander. My Alexander. Each time I say his name, my bones weaken and I feel like bawling out my tears, imprisoned deep inside me. His demanding presence pulled my attention back towards him, and I squint. The way he dressed reminded me of the fam
ELEANOR POV "Monsters..." The word tasted like venom as it rose to the tip of his tongue. I gaped at him, feeling my blood run cold when my eyes settled on the gun in his shaky hand. I could see him trembling all over, though I can still sense his fear, it felt as though his anger dominated more than the latter. His murderous look was aimed directly at us, and I doubt he'd ever hesitate to pull that trigger even for a split second. I slide my hands touching Alexander's neck down my sides before slowly facing the owner of the bar. His face evident of hatred and loathing as he glared at us. "You're all monsters..." He spatted, taking a step closer towards our direction. In that moment, determination flickered in his eyes, and he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, pointing it to my head. I swallowed thickly, my heart pounding so hard against my chest, as though looking for a hole where it could escape. Alexander growls behind me, letting me know he was seconds away from tear
ELEANOR POV I quickly moved my hand, fumbling for the door handle before I open the car door. Slamming it then practically power walked towards the building. He chuckles lightly and follows closely behind me. I could feel his lustful gaze on my ass as I trudged up the stairs. My apartment is on the third floor, and we ain't got time for waiting around 'til the elevator doors open after several minutes of pure, insufferable agony. As I made my way up the staircase, I felt Alexander's hand run along my thighs, slapping my butt just after we reached the door to my apartment. My eyes widened in shock and I glanced over at him disapprovingly.He flashes me a smug smile and moved swiftly, pressing his very erect shaft against my plump ass. I gasped, and he leans in to my ear, pressing his cheek on my face as he pushed his front against me. His hands wrapping around my waist eagerly. "Hurry up my love, or I won't be able to stop myself from fucking you right here, right now." He whispered
ELEANOR The next morning, I wake up to a strange sensation swirling between my legs. "Hhnmmnn.." I moan as I slowly force my eyes open. "Alex!" I shouted, not really sure what to do now seeing him practically eat my pussy up with his sharp, invasive tongue. "What are you doing?" Planting both my elbows on the bed, I push my upper body to give him a stern look. A devilish grin crawls up to his face as he continues gripping my thighs and spreading then wider for his tongue's better access. "Mmmpph!" I bite my lower lip once his tongue gets rough against my clit. "Alex!" My hands, as if they've a mind of their own, get instantly wrapped around his bare neck, pulling him closer to my pussy. I could feel his hot breath pressing against my skin as he exhaled between his soft chuckles, not knowing he has turned me on so good. Seconds after, I was panting. My toes curled as I felt him drag his finger toward my throbbing core, and I let him. Jerking my hips back and forth as he pumps hi
ELEANOR“He’s gone…”Silence fell almost instantly in the room.“What?” was the only word that managed to escape my mouth. It felt as though my heart was determined to jump out my chest any moment now.My father’s gone…Feeling as though my brain had stopped working while trying to process this new information, I grit my teeth and stare back blankly at him.What does that mean? I felt a painful knot twist and turn in my stomach. What happened?I tell myself, not realizing I had just uttered the question out loud.“We don’t know for sure. But Elijah told me someone found a group of dead bodies in your father’s office. It looked like they have been mutilated and tortured for a short period of time. No one knows who did it, and your father is declared missing from the pack.” He states, speaking in a low, calm voice as though he was afraid I’d break easily like some fragile vase.I took in a deep breath in a bid to calm myself down just for a short moment. My eyes dropped to my covered lap
ALEXANDER One and a half month ago… For the past month, I’ve done nothing but drink and spend my days sniffing off my mate’s scent. But each time I end up at the river. The very boundary that separates us from the human territory. Elijah had never left my side since he took me back from the Dark Moon Pack. My wolf still snarls animalistically as jealousy strives to rule over our reasoning when I remember that man’s face. That cold look in his eyes when he spatted the words letting me know my mate has already left the territory still makes my blood boil and adrenaline spike through me. I was tended to by the pack doctor then. A week later, I find out that Vera has been let out of her room. But before I could ask who let her out, Elijah bolted in my room and punched my right on the face. Okay, I know I deserved that. He probably figured out what I’ve done to Vera to just to shut her up, though it was anything but fair. Vera was only looking out for me, after all. She’s my sister, b
