ELENA:As soon as Damian opened the door, I stepped out of the car and once again, looked at the mansion that I grew up in as a little kid. Never did I for once think that things would turn out this way, and that I would be banished from my pack.Never did i think that I would lost my father's love and trust in the blink of an eye all because of a silly mistake. "I'm ready." I told Damian. I was ready to get everything back just like I had in the past. To fall on my knees and beg for forgiveness like I should have done years ago. Maybe he would have forgiven me."Just take a deep breath, and you'll figure out what to do. If you can't, then look at me, I'll be here for you." A wide smile escaped my lips without revealing my teeth and I slowly nodded my head in response. Just like Damian had said, I took a deep breath in... Exhaling and inhaling deeply."Good.""Yeah, let's go."As I took just one step, he held my hands and began to walk away with me. The door was opened and I walked in
ELENA;An hour later, I was done talking with my dad. I had to thank Mia for so much that she had done in restoring the pack's imagine.I came outside to meet Damian waiting for me close to hi car. His gaze was down, and his hands tucked into his pocket. For a quick moment, I admired him as I walked down the steps. I continued to stare at him, until I was gaining closer and the moment he raised his head to stare at me, I took my gaze away from him."Hey, are you alright?" I nodded my head while he opened the door for me to step in. As I stepped and took my seat, I decided not to think about anything and just be happy. There were sacrifice I had to make, and here I was already making them. I was doing things no longer for my happiness, but to make things right again and restore everything I lost."Elena, you can say something. You can vent if you want to. You don't need to hold it in."He placed his hand on my shoulders, but I didn't say anything to him. I wanted to be alone, lost and
"Let go..... please." I still had use for her and so even if I wanted to kill her now, i couldn't. My eyes changed to it's normal color again, and I let go of Mia. "Know your fucking place next time." She nodded her head and I immediately began to walk away. That anger was still there and I was planning to vent them all on Elena herself.How dare she?She was mine. Mine alone and she fucking went ahead to accept Damian. I couldn't let her do that, not when it would make me go crazy. I got into my car and slammed the door. There was no time to waste, so I ignited the engine and drove out of the compound immediately. Halfway to the company, I received a call from Liam"Did you do it?""Elena came on her own, and she wants to see you alpha.""I'm on my way right now."I was about to end the call, but Liam called my attention again. "Alpha, she's not alone. Damian's here" The moment I heard Damian's name, my grip on the steering wheel tightened, and I grunted in anger wondering why the h
ELENA:The rejection didn't work, and it amaze me how it didn't. It really didn't matter if the rejection was two years ago, as long as part of us were broken, it just had to work.I stared at Alessandro and noticed he had a smirk on his face and for one, I wasn't happy about it. It made me feel as though he knew that accepting the rejection just wouldn't work."You're still mine Elena, and absolutely nothing is gonna change that." He spoke possessively while Damian held my hand, but didn't utter a word. I decided to remain silent, and when Liam whispered some words into his ears, he turned and began to walk away while I watched him till he was gone.Damian groaned, and rose to his feet."Are you alright?" I asked him worriedly as he rose up. I had idea why Damian didn't fight back when Alessandro hurt him, but it occurred to me that he was probably scared of fighting back because Alessandro was stronger. Damian was an Alpha too but unlike Alessandro, there were limit to what he could
SELENEAfter Damian had left the room, I laid back on the bed, making use of the pillow to cover my face only for a few minutes. I wanted to stop myself from thinking about Alessandro as much as I could because I couldn't stop even when I was trying so hard to forget about himThat was how it was. I fucking had no idea why Alessandro couldn't get away from my mind, but all I wanted right now was for him to leave my heart forever.Even when I accepted the rejection, I had this feeling inside of me that kept telling me not to do it. I groaned aloud, shutting my eyes because I was tired to even continue thinking.A few moments later, I had no idea when I drifted off to sleep.I was awoken by the sound of the knock on my door and when I woke up, I walked over to the door and opened it to meet a maid standing at the entrance.She lowered her head to greet me the very moment I opened the door."The Alpha requests you come have lunch downstairs"I nodded my head, "I'll be down in a minute, t
MIA:My heart thumped harder against my rib cage as I heard Selene's words. It felt like the world had almost come to an end or it felt more as if I was brought back to square one all of a sudden. I couldn't contain the anger burning inside of me as I realized that dad had already forgiven Elena's paat deed so quickly.He was always acting like he never wanted to see her again, and like she wasn't even his daughter. My heart didn't stop, and I didn't utter a word to Elena even after she continued to talk to meWhen she called my name and tapped my shoulders repeatedly, I returned from my trance but without a smile. "What's wrong Mia?"I was forced to let out a smile because I didn't want Elena thinking that something was off, but maybe she could just see through my fake smile."This isn't you, Mia, somethings off, and you have to tell me. What's wrong?"For the sake of her not suspecting anything, I had to come up with an excuse immediately, "it'd Alessandro, I'm worried about him."
ALESSANDRO"Aren't you supposed to address some of the directors today?" Liam reminded me, but I completely ignored his question, and continued to think about what I could do to get Elena back. Even if she wanted to leave me, definitely not for Damian, definitely not with that bastard.I rose to my feet and was about to walk away when Liam called me for a second time, and I immediately turned around to face him or rather give him the attention that he was badly probably seeking for."What do you want me to do? What the hell do you fucking want me to do Liam. Sit back and watch Damian claim my mate? No, I can't do that even if I have to fucking kill that bastard, believe me, I will.""There her more important things to concentrate on. Why don't you also look after your company, and the pack while trying to get Elena back? She isn't the major priority here, and you know it."Liam was right. In as much as Elena was important,.my pack and my company too were also important. I heaved deepl
DAMIAN:The sweet smell of lavender hit my nostrils mixed with vanilla. It just has such a pleasant smell, and as it hit my nostrils, my wolf was going insane. This made me so scared of stepping out of the car so I asked Daniel to step out and check what the hell was happening.I was certain there was something there, or rather someone. It was a female and I didn't get the chance to see her face before Daniel had hit her.He opened the car and stepped out of it, while my wolf didn't stop it's excitement. I was getting really mad about it especially because it had called the stranger mate. Vince had only done this for a lady, and the fear of this lady being the same person got me scared. I tried recalling her name, Amanda. It was even more shocking how I recalled everything about her and how she had saved me at the bar weeks ago."Someone was hit Alpha." I heard Daniel's voice. "A lady?" I asked in return, and he immediately nodded his head, "Thankfully, she's awake, but we need to tak
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
