ELENA:I was still in my room, and I had been there all day sulking badly. I had no idea what the hell came over me 2 days ago and why I had done what I did with a total stranger.Something definitely took control over me that night. I was ashamed of myself, I felt so dirty and I couldn't even bear to even look at my face.Mia had found me that night, but then I didn't know her own story of how she managed to keep me out of trouble from father or how she managed to cover up for me. What about Damian? I was worried he might know something.There was a knock on my door."Elena, please open the door. How long are you gonna keep punishing yourself?"I didn't give a response, but rose up on my feet. I was tired of sulking already and I wanted Mia to console me.I opened the door and pinned my eyes to the ground as Mia walked in. "Elena." She called my name softly. I couldn't help but cry because I had lost my virginity to a total stranger and there was no way of identifying who it was. Ev
The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Mia. Everywhere looked white, and I couldn't move either.I tried to call out to Mia's name, but I couldn't. I just stared at her, hoping she would stare back at me soon. When I found a little strength, I raised a finger and touched hers.She raised her head and stared at me. "Elena!" I was still silent. "Oh Elena!" She called again. "You're awake, I'll go get the doctor now." I watched Mia rise up on her feet and walked out of the room. A few minutes later, she walked back in with a doctor behind her. I was finally able to breathe and talk without the oxygen mask on my mouth. "What happened?""You were involved in a car accident 3 days ago." I widened my eyes in shock simply hearing the fact that I had been here for 3 days. Mia wasn't saying a word, and the look on her face was enough to tell me something was wrong."You should get some rest….""What's wrong, Mia?" I cut the doctor off. She sucked in a deep breath, and shifted her
2 Years Later."Oh good gracious! You scared the living hell out of me!" My hand was on my chest as I stared at the man covered in a raincoat and waiting for me right in front of my apartment.I tucked my hand into my bag and brought out my keys."What are you doing here again?"As I opened the door, we both walked into my house, and I offered him a seat. I walked towards the kitchen, picked up a neat glass, and filled it with fresh juice from the fridge."You keep coming every month without stopping." I took my seat. He was staring at me, but it was something that I was already used to."Tell me, Damian, how long do you think you're gonna keep trying."For one, I hated Damian so much back in the days, but two years ago, he was the one who saved me. He was my guardian angel that day I almost ended my life. He saved me from a running truck, and till today, I am still so very grateful to him.I sipped from the glass of juice and dropped it on the table. Damian wasn't so bad after all. H
ELENAAlessandro and I were staring at each other, and the only thing that kept crossing my mind was the day he rejected me. I had stood there bold, trying every possible best to conceal the pain so I wouldn't look weak.There was tears at the brim of my eyes, but it was one anyone would hardly notice, and then I sniffled turning back to face Mia. I couldn't be here because it was so hard enough facing Alessandro already.My heart was beating so fast, but this made my stomach churn in irritation. I had liked Alessandro for so many years, and even till now, denying that feel ok was impossible, but I still had to try hard because now, he was married to my sister"Mia, I have to leave. I can't be here and you know why?"Mia held my hands, telling me not to leave because we still had so much to talk about, but then I wasn't ready to stay back and continued staring at Alessandro face. Even his face brings back the memories of the baby that I had lost, not only his rejection."We can catch
ALESSANDRO: As soon as Elena left, I began to walk into the house completely ignoring Mia's presence. She must have been fucking happy. During this two years after I had rejected Elena, I figured out a lot of things.I could still feel the mate bond between us as she stood there staring at me. My wolf badly wanted her, and the more I tried to resist, the stronger my desires for her get. Fuck, it was hard admitting it."Go after our mate." Kyle, my wolf spoke to me, but I ignored his voice and proceeded to continue walking in. "I saw the way you looked at her, you never looked at me like that." I ignored Mia's voice and continued to walk in."Elena's my sister, but you can't have your eyes on her when you're married to me, Alessandro."I scoffed aloud and then halted. "Says who? You're forgetting something, Mia, I only got married to you based on a contract and I can end it anytime I please. That's part of the deal."I continued to walk away until I had gotten into the house, not min
MIA:As soon as Alessandro walked past me, I rolled my eyes. I knew he wouldn't dare to go after Elena after she left. He was mine already, and we had a lot going on. If he loses me, then he would lost a lot of things as well.I had no idea why Elena was here, or who had brought her back, but this wasn't just the damn right time for her to come back. There was still a lot more to do.Elena's presence once again reminded of what I had gone through in the past trying to get father's recognition, and trying to keep my feelings for Alessandro a secret from she and the world. Her presence made me scared that I would lose everything, especially the love and attention I was getting from our father. She had always been the loved one, and it scared me so fucking much to lose everything that I had now.My phone rang in my pocket and I immediately brought it out. It was dad calling."Dad.""Come to the mansion immediately.""Yes dad." He ended the call immediately. As I stared at my phone, so ma
ALESSANDRO:As soon as I got to the spot where Kyle had directed me, I stepped out from the car. "Are you certain she's here?""Stop asking further questions and start running before they hurt my mate.""Point of correction, Kyle, it's our mate and not yours." I replied to him as I had figured out he keeps making that mistake. I could hear their heartbeat, but then there was the heartbeat of Elena, and it was racing so fast. It made me understand that she was so scared. When I listened closely again, it because Norma. Did she overcome her fear or did something happen to her?I began to head towards their direction, cocking my gun and getting prepare to fire any person that I would come across first.As I walked closer, the first person I spotted was Elena on the floor with 4 men around her. I clenched my fingers, turning them into fist as I watched as she shivered in their mist. My eyes immediately turned red with rage, and I found myself firing a bullet at one of the men as I watched
MIA:"What are you trying to say, dad. Don't you trust me with the company? I've worked so hard for two years trying to prove myself to you, but whatever I do, you don't seem to see me fit. Why? Is Elena your only daughter?""Don't talk about your elder sister in that manner, Mia. Don't bring Elena into our conversation next time."I scoffed aloud when I heard him. No matter how much I need dad didn't want to talk about Elena, he still wanted her back at all cost."Elena cost you your reputation two years ago, and I worked so hard to bring back the reputation she lost. She cost you and this pack everything, but I stood by you and all your rules. What else must I do in order for you to even give me a chance to prove myself to you, dad."He cleared his throat and then took his gaze away from me while I continued to stare at his with tears around down my eyes. Now I was at the verge of losing everything since Elena was back, and I just couldn't lose it. I tried to calm myself, but for th
MIA:I knew who Tristan Thompson was, and as I kept standing at Alessandro's door, I knew he was gonna come out, or let me in. I patiently waited, counting every damn seconds, and just before I utter the word 20, I heard the door knob creak even though it had taken longer than I expected.A little smirk crept on my lips as I watched the door slowly open, and when Alessandro showed his face to me, that smirk disappeared."You decided to come out simply because I have information on your mortal enemy?""I've told you times without number, Mia, you and I are simply together because of what you offered in the past. There's only a few more days for all that to be over, and I don't ever plan on renewing the contract no matter what it is that you have to offer.""Then you wouldn't wanna know where Tristan Thompson and his family are?" I moved closer to Alessandro with just two steps and continued, "Hus family destroyed your father's reputation, they made your father kill himself when you wer
MIA:As I shut the door to my office and locked it, I received a call but didn't pick it up until I got to my car. I had to hasten my steps because I was eager for the call and I had been expecting it.Maybe because I had it in mind that it was my time to put everyone in their places. I had gone through fucking enough already and to even know that both Alessandro and Damian were on Elena's side was the most painful part of everything. As I got to my car and shut the door, I answered the call when it came again, and placed the phone right next to me."Hey, what took you so long?""I'm sorry, but I was trying to confirm my suspicious after what I found out.""That's good, at least you found out something. so tell me what's it." "There's a lady, ma'am. A lady by the name Amanda, buy I have absolutely no idea who she is. They were together, and I saw him drop her off at a local street in dark moon pack.""A lady?" I questioned myself, but decided to allow him continue, "I couldn't find he
ELENA:I watched Damian effortlessly paced to and fro around the living room while holding his phone, and staring at it every 5 minutes. He would say some words under his breath, and shut his eyes in frustration at some point in time and even I couldn't think properly with whatever he was doing.Although I was still trying to understand the reason why Damian had left the wedding in such a state after hearing something from Daniel, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was telling him the truth about Alessandro and I. I didn't know how Damian would take the news or if he would even help me if I told him about the news, but I had to somehow.I cleared my throat aloud, expecting him to give me attention, but Damian didn't. He didn't also stop pacing and that got me to stand on my feet and walk towards him. I touched his shoulders, which made him stop pacing, and then I made him look at my eyes,"What's wrong Damian? If you're desperately waiting for a call, th
DAMIAN:I wasn't tired of trying, and neither was I tired of trying to find out exactly who Amanda's mother was. I stepped out of the company and headed straight for the hospital, and when I arrived, I had to look around again to ensure that I wasn't being followed just like before.When I was assured that nobody was behind me, I walked into the hospital and headed for Amanda's ward. It's been two days she's here now, and I got absolutely nothing for her. Today, u wanted thing to be different because I felt Amanda was right. If I was the good guy, then there was no need to keep her locked up. She would never learn to open up to me if I did.I rasped a knock on the door and when it was opened, I stepped in to see her seated on the bed but she was backing Daniel."What's wrong?""She has been like this without moving, and I can't seems to get her out of that position."I walked towards Amanda and laid my hands on her shoulder, but she didn't move. "Hands off." She uttered with a cold a
MIA:I sat on the three seater sofa, waiting patiently for Alessandro's return, but he didn't come home up until late midnight. When I felt tired and gave up all hopes, I laid down on the sofa and Fe asleep only to wake up the next morning.Alessandro didn't come home tonight.It meant two things,It was either he had spent the night with Elena or he was somewhere else doing his normal dangerous job with his enemies. I rose to my feet and headed straight for the stairs so I could go get prepared and leave for work. About 30 minutes later, I was done preparing and ready to go. As I got outside the house, I noticed a new car amongst the cars in the compound and it didn't take me long to recognize it as Elena's car. I scoffed aloud, not even my eyes, and the fact that all this had been going for a long time and yet I failed to even notice it.Not wanting to be late for work, I found my car keys and headed straight to my car. As I got in, I ignited the engine and drove away to the compan
MIA:Jackson and I had decided not to meet up in his house. I parked my car right in front of a narrow path, ensuring that there was no passerby, when I opened the car door, Jackson stepped out from one of the corners around and immediately got into the car, shutting the door immediately he stepped inHe took off his glasses and laid back on the seat."Fuck, this is damn stressful. Why can't we meet at an hotel or something?""Because for fuck sake you dummy, Elena's beginning to suspect me, and this time, I think Elena's working with Alessandro. In fact, she's working pretty fine with Alessandro knowing fully well that's he's my husband, and what he did to her in the past."I was fucking confused at the moment."Damian too. I think all three of them are working together so we have to be extremely careful Jackson. No more constant meeting and most importantly, no sex and funny games on anyone. You should try and stay on a low key, also hide your identity as much as possible. Elena kno
DAMIAN:I parked my car in the mansion and stepped out from it, tucking my two hands into my pocket as I walked in to go see my dad. When I arrived, dad was with two of his friends, and the moment he spotted me, there was a look of disappointment in his face.I immediately took my gaze away, heading towards the stairs because I knew I had to wait till he would be done with his friends. About 2 hours later, I came back downstairs, and thankfully, his friends were gone.I didn't wait for permission, but took my seat and waited for him to speak first. That was how spoilt I was and my dad didn't really see an offense in that. Since I was an only heir and only son, I always got whatever I wanted."What happened at the wedding?"I had already planned everything I needed to say to him today. "Some of the packs property were being destroyed by rogues. I couldn't just stand back and watch.""Why wasn't I informed any of this?""Daniel found out too late and he was hurt by them. We had no idea
MIA:"The wedding was cancelled!" I questioned as Elena broke the news to dad. I was expecting him to yell at her and say all sort of things. To call her names and scold her, but he calmly asked,"Why?" He simply asked, and because of this, I widened my eyes in shock wondering what was going on."Do you know what you've done. How do you want to explain to the public about the photos released days ago? Do you want them to begin their suspicions again? This is a really dangerous step to take Elena. We need that wedding to hold."Dad cocked his head towards me, and said, "I wasn't talking to you Mia. Elena, answer the question.""Damian's going through some hard times right now, and I'm trying to be there for him. We just wanna get to know each other more and.more importantly, this decision came from Damian. You don't have to worry dad, he was the one who took down the photos so he knows what he's doing.""How do we ought to gain favor from his pack if you two don't get married right awa
AUTHOR'S POV:Amanda still laid on the bed with her gaze facing the wall, and even though she knew Damian had walked away, she didn't want to turn her head because she had tears in her eyes.Daniel could have left her to die when the rogues had attacked her and not saved her because that was exactly what she wanted. There was fear in her heart, and even though Amanda knew how to act pretty strong in front of people, she only breaks down when she's alone.Daniel didn't move an inch from the entrance where he stood watching over Amanda, but he could hear her whispers as she cried. One moment, he wanted to take steps closer to her, and them maybe try to comfort her, but the thought of Amanda snapping at him made him discard the thought from his mind immediately, and replace it with minding his own business.Daniel had never been afraid of a lady before, but for Amanda, it was quite different, especially the day she had found out it was him who nearly ran her over. The look on her face th
