Elara "You should listen to Emma," It was Jace who spoke now, "Save those fucking tears for tonight. You'll need them when those wolves are tearing you apart, limb by limb." I stumbled back watching an evil smirk make its way up Jace's face. I couldn't believe my ears... and eyes as I watched the two people in front of me burst into laughter. "Oh, I wish I could capture the expression on your face right now. You look like you're going to pass out." Emma chuckled, "You never saw it coming did you?" I was at a loss for words as their mocking laughter filled my ears. I still couldn't believe my mate and sister had planned such a huge betrayal. I knew Emma hated me so I shouldn't be surprised she would do something like this. But Jace? Never in a million years would I have ever imagined the man I loved would betray me like this. Jace was a man I considered my whole world, a man I loved more than myself and spent ten years of my life loving. I still remember the first day
ElaraI never thought I would lose my innocence in the most horrible way, and to a man whose face I barely remembered.I was turning eighteen tomorrow, the age when one finally meets their wolf and shifts for the first time. But I found my mate tonight and to my greatest joy, he turned out to be Jace Ethon, the Beta's son and my long-time crush.My case was rare. Not everyone got to meet their mate before they came of age, I must have been very lucky. That was new because I happened to be the most unlucky person in the entire world. Jace was the love of my life, the only person other than my best friend Lori, who was nice to me in this pack. But all my dreams of having a happy ever after with a mate who loved me were flushed down the drain the moment he dragged me to this kitchen and told me his plan.My mate wanted to poison the Alpha and he wanted me to help him do it. “I can't do this,” I whispered, glancing between Jace and the opened door.We were standing in the middle of the
It was already getting dark by the time the car pulled to a stop.“Where are we?” I finally asked, my blue and green orbs fixing on the two-story building in front of me.Yes, I had two different eye colors. One was a light blue and the other, the faintest shade of green. One of the reasons the pack thought I was cursed. I believed them.I mean, what normal person had two different eyes?“We will be making a quick stop here.” Emma didn't spare me a second glance as she hopped out of the car. I glanced over at the driver who barely acknowledged me before scurrying after Emma who was already walking into the building.The blaring of loud music as well as the strong stench of alcohol hit me the moment I stepped into the dimly lit room. Young men were everywhere, drunk and scantily dressed women littered the whole place.Dozens of people were making out, on the couches, on tables, and the floor. Some women were even pressed against the wall as the men behind drilled them hard. Heat crept
“The King has sent some women along with a message again.” Raphael, My Beta glanced at me through the mirror before his eyes returned to the road in front of him.My fists clenched, I already knew what this ‘message’ would contain.“Tell him I'm not interested,” I sighed, staring out the open window. The drive to the town had been a long one, and I noticed how much the town had changed from the last time I was here.The town was under a pack I commanded but even after all these years, the evening air still smelt the same. Fresh and filled with nothing but sins of my past.“You will have to listen to him one of these days.” Raph’s voice broke through my thoughts. “You aren't getting any younger.”“I don't need a woman to warm my bed.” I gritted through my teeth. My father, the Alpha King has been trying all he could to get me to take a woman to my bed. He wanted a grandchild, one that would be a possible heir to the throne but I’ve defied him all these years.It wasn't like I was inte
