Elena's POVI woke up some hours later and found myself lying on a mat. Once I woke up, the first thought that came to mind was how I was about to get beheaded some hours ago. Immediately, I remembered about it. I jerked up from the mat and started touching my neck to see if I had any wounds on my neck or if they really beheaded me. I placed my head back, but happily, there weren't any wounds on my neck, and my burnt skin had healed by itself.With that, I heaved a sigh of relief before placing my hand on my stomach, and happily, I could still feel my baby kicking.Afterwards, I started looking around the room while wondering where I was and who had also rescued me from the people who wanted to behead me.As these thoughts were still running through my mind, the door of the room suddenly burst open, and immediately an old woman walked into the room.Once she saw me, she smiled at me before approaching me."Hi, my daughter, Are you finally awake?" she asked me before placing her hand
Darian's POVIt has been up to two days since my guards and I started searching for Elena throughout the whole pack and also neighboring packs, but we haven't been able to find her. What is strange about the whole issue is that I haven't been able to close my eyes since all this time, talk less of sleeping. Whenever I try to sleep a little bit, the image of her being captured by one of my rival Alphas comes playing in my head.Meanwhile, the news of her disappearance had spread throughout the whole pack and neighboring packs, and due to this, her life is going to be in more danger wherever she is because if she mistakenly bumps into any of my rival Alphas, they are going to use her to get back to me for all the evil things that I have done to them. I hope that she is safe wherever she is and that the moon goddess also gives me one more chance to claim her back and to correct my past mistakes.As these thoughts were running through my mind, I was jerked back to reality by the footsteps
Darian's POV "What did you say, Alpha Benson?" I asked him while approaching menacingly, my eyes glowing in red.Once he noticed the anger burning in my eyes as I was approaching him, he started taking some steps backward because he knew that he would only be making things worse for himself if he tried attacking me in return.As I was still approaching him, two other Alphas from another pack blocked me in a defensive manner."Alpha Darian, you have to stop this. I hope you know the consequences of what you are about to do." They asked me while trying to block me from going after Alpha Benson, but without much effort, I shoved them out of the road and dashed towards Alpha Benson, who was trying to make his way into the courtroom.Once I caught him, I pinned him on the wall, my red, glowing eyes boring into him. I could clearly see the fear hidden all over his face as he was trying to break free from my grip, but at the same time, he was still trying his best to maintain a calm facial
Elena's POVIt has been over three hours since I started wandering around the thick forest while looking for an ideal place to spend the night. After wandering for over three hours, I finally found another cave, similar to the first one; once I came down from the horse, I drew it by the rope and led it inside the cave before going out and gathering some straws that I gave it to eat.Afterwards, I sat down beside one of the rocks before opening my luggage and bringing out some fruits that I had gathered while wondering around the forest.As I was eating the fruit, I started feeling some pains around my abdomen. With that, my heart skipped. I didn't need to think twice before knowing what was about to happen. In some fractions of seconds, the pain intensified, and immediately I started feeling some liquids streaming down my laps. That was when it dawned on me that my water had already broken. Not knowing what next to do, all I could do was shed tears as the pain kept on intensifying wit
Darian's POVWhen I started perceiving the scent of werewolves around the area, firstly I thought that it was another group of rogues, but the issue was that the scent was different from that of rogues, which literally means that it wasn't rogues but instead another group of werewolves. As these thoughts were running through my mind, I saw the arrows coming in our direction, but I was fast to dodge, contrary to my men who got hit by the arrow. When the werewolves surrounded me and I raised my head and saw their Alpha, my heart skipped immediately."Ciara," I called out to her in an undertone with a surprised tone."Yes, it's me, Darian. Surprised to see me, huh?" She asked me while grinning ear to ear, but I remained silent while staring at her utter disbelief."Lower your weapons; he's a guest of honor, and take his men to the healer before the poison on the arrows starts affecting them," she said to her men. Without hesitating, they lowered their weapons before helping my men, who w
Elena's POV I was awakened some hours later by the voice of a crying baby. Once I woke up, the first thing that came to mind was my baby. Without hesitating, I carried her from the floor where she was lying and cuddled her in my arms, and immediately he stopped crying. I was still admiring how beautiful the baby was before realizing that he was wrapped in a baby wrapper and that he had also been cleaned up, including me. There was no single stain of blood in the place, and beside my luggage was a basket containing some baby foods and clothing, as well as some food that I could eat.As I was inspecting everything before me, I pinched myself in order to know if I was dreaming, but fortunately I wasn't. The last person I remembered talking to before passing out was the moon goddess; possibly she was the one who provided all these things for me in order to show me that she exists.After some minutes of hesitation, I drew the basket near me and brought out the food that was inside. I ate
Elena's POV "We aren't here to hurt you, your highness; we are only here to bring you back to your pack," one of the rogues said to me from where he was standing."And who sent you?" I asked them with an inquisitive look because I knew that Alpha Darian would never send rogues behind me; in fact, rogues are considered enemies, and as far as I know, Alpha Darian hates rogues."We were sent by your mate, Alpha Darian," one of them said to me, and immediately I chuckled mockingly at them."Do you all think that I'm a fool?" I asked them with an inquisitive look."None of you was sent by Alpha Darian; I don't know who you people are or who sent you guys, but I'm not following anyone of you anywhere," I said to them, my voice filled with determination.With that, they took a glance at each other before turning their gaze towards me while grinning wickedly."You are right, your highness; we weren't sent by Alpha Darian, but we were sent by someone close to him. The person only wants you to
Elena's POV With my heart raising heavily, I kept on watching him as he was approaching me. Once he approached me, he raised his hand up like someone who was about to strike someone, and immediately I swallowed hard before closing my eyes while awaiting my fate.My eyes were still shut tightly when my baby that was tied to my back started crying, and immediately I opened my eyes and saw the strange werewolf inhaling my scent. I had been overwhelmed by everything going on to the extent that I forgot that a baby was tied to my back. Once he inhaled my scent, he immediately took some steps backward and started shifting back into his human form, and without hesitating, I untied the baby, sat beside the tree, and started breastfeeding him."Hope they didn't hurt you." He asked me, and immediately I raised my head and looked at him before shaking my head negatively, and immediately he heaved a sigh of relief."The baby really looks beautiful; what is his name?" He asked me while squatting
