Ellie.The entire classroom was high in tension, with deafening silence. Exchanged looks from wolf to wolf was the new means of communication, instead of directly speaking.The news of everything that happened that night had spread around the villa. Everything, including how I killed two wolves and how I was ready to kill myself rather than let anyone touch me, I guessed everyone present wasn’t pleased with the news, as the silence grew the moment I walked in, especially Jon, but I believed there was another reason Jon refused to meet my eyes, something that had to do with his new-found knowledge of whose mate I was.It had been three whole days since the full moon, and in those three days, I didn’t participate in any training because I needed to rest. Archer called it, claiming I needed time to heal mentally, and he was right. The thought of walking into a classroom and seeing Jon and all the others who tried to have their way with me, made me break out in cold sweat, and he sensed i
Ellie.Wrong.The only experience in combat I had, was being ambushed by multiple wolves and somehow making it out alive. I wanted to tell Julie, but the combat instructor suddenly appeared, cutting my words short.I was certain I wouldn’t know what real combat was like even if it hit me in the face, but looking at all the hype-up wolves punching, ducking, and kicking, I realized I did know, and I was very bad at it.The instructor had told me to stand aside and watch since he taught most of the moves while I was…resting, and by just watching them, I knew I wouldn’t be able to do a thing. It was true that I had been lucky a few times, and my wolf worked tirelessly to protect me, as well as other wolves in my life, but where strength met experience, I was talentless, and I feared that if the other wolves saw how weak I was, they would use the opportunity to pounce on me again.“Then do your best. You work well under pressure, and if you don’t want everyone here to bully you again, you
Ellie.“Is it just me or is something definitely wrong with this place?” Julie asked from beside me. I nodded frantically. Something was horribly wrong with the place, and that something wasn’t just the eerie feeling of the atmosphere, but the smell. The forest was filled with a harsh smell of fresh blood mixed with something else, something dangerous, but I couldn’t quite place my finger on it.We had spent at least five minutes in the forest, and with each passing moment, the place seemed even more off, like there weren’t any animals, which made the forest quiet. The harsh smell was more like a confirmation.“Look, we need to leave here. Carly just said something but she’s not sure so I’m not gonna repeat it,” she said with a deep breath.I pursed my lips, wondering who Carly was. Julie must’ve sensed my confusion;“Carly is my wolf,” She explained and I nodded in understanding.“Whatever, we need to leave.”“I agree that this place seems very weird, but what if it’s all part of the
Ellie.Loud and eerie clear, the sound of flesh being torn filled my ears, but it must’ve been the shock that made it possible for me to not feel any pain.No, something is not right. I told myself and peered my eyes open, only to be shocked to see that not only was I in one full piece, but the one who had been torn was none other than His Majesty, Archer. I stood frozen, wondering how the heck things turned out the way they did.In one motion, Archer turned, released his claws, and pierced the monster’s head, taking out its brain. The monster released a very loud shriek, as blood poured out of it’s head, and then nearly every hole in its body, before it fell to the ground“Hold on to me! You’re safe now,” Archer then turned to me and muttered, hugging my head to his chest.“You’re safe now,” he repeated over and over until I had enough and released myself from his hold. He got hurt while saving me, but he was only worried about me.“You’re hurt too!” I reminded him, but he didn’t res
Ellie.I pressed a hand over my lips to keep me from screeching in pure shock.“I asked you a question, Ellie,” he drawled lazily, the rich baritone of his voice sending shivers up and down my spine.“I–” I started, but the footsteps stopped right in front of the door outside, which was about to send me into a mini heart attack until Archer pulled me towards the hospital bed.“Lie down and stay quiet,” he ordered. I gulped, eyes darting from him to the door, but I joined him in anyway. The bed was warm and smelled like him, masculine and minty. I didn’t fail to notice the way my body melted into his own, as he wrapped an arm around my waist, then covered my head with the covers, so I was left staring at his fully clothed wide chest. I took a big whiff of his scent, letting myself remember why I liked being next to him.Mere seconds later, there was a small knock on the door, and whoever it was opened the door without waiting for a confirmation. I gulped hard, my heart beating frantica
Ellie."Turn around," Archer ordered, standing up, and I complied, feeling the weight of his stare on my back."Bend over the bed." Despite his injury, his dominance radiated off him in waves.My heart raced as I leaned over, my hands gripping the edge of the hospital bed. I felt cool air on my neck as he leaned forward, the anticipation making my pulse quicken."Why did you come here dressed like this, Ellie?" Archer's voice was a whisper in my ear. His good hand slid up my thigh, pushing the dress higher."It was the only way I was allowed into the hospital," I whispered, my voice trembling with excitement.His hand came down on my ass with a sharp smack, the sting making me gasp. He alternated between soft caresses and hard spanks, each strike sending a jolt of pleasure through my body. My skin tingled, the pain and pleasure blending into a delicious sensation."Do you like that, Ellie ?" His tone was mocking, but it only made me wetter."Mmmh, yes," I moaned, pushing my hips back
Ellie.“I can’t believe we’re leaving here soon,” Julie said with mock sadness, and a sigh to follow.“You say that but it seems like you’re happy to leave,” I returned, nudging her side, as we walked to combat class.It had been a week and two days since the forest incident, and four days left until the end of our training camp. In that time, Jon and the others that terrorized me were summoned out of camp. Lizzy and I didn’t say one word to each other, but she no longer bothered me, and with Julie’s help, I was able to focus well on everything we were being taught.It wasn’t lost on me that I had to put two times the effort everyone else was putting in, to get the same result, but I didn’t see it as a punishment. If anything, I quite liked it, because it pushed me past my limits.“No, I’m happy I don’t need to do any more combat classes. It is the bane of my existence,” Julie said with a sigh. I responded with a roll of my eyes.“What?” She dragged, amusement touching her lips.“If a
The atmosphere and everyone’s initial opinion of me changed drastically after the decree was passed and sent out two days ago. Everywhere I went, wolves said hi to me, and even tried becoming friends with me. The Omegas working as staff in the villa, always did things for me, like giving me an extra portion of food and offering to clean my room. I can’t lie, I liked it, because it was the first time I was receiving such treatment.“Earth to Ellie,” Julie snapped her fingers in my face. I shook my head and blinked immediately, an instinctive reaction, as I returned to reality.Julie and I were currently looking through her dresses for our graduation, which was to take place the next day. Julie was kind enough to lend me something of hers after I told her that most of my stuff was still in my former pack–of course, I left out the fact that I used to be mated to the alpha of that pack and basically, everything that happened afterward. Julie believed Archer took me from my former pack bec
Ellie.The tension in the air was palpable for more reasons than one, and try as I might to detach myself from the situation I was in, I couldn’t.I was sat in the same car as Archer, beside him, while he spread his legs, and I tightened mine to keep away from making any sort of contact with him. I’d originally sat at the front seat, next to the driver, but when Archer arrived, he demanded I sit behind with him, thus putting me in the situation I was now in.Neither of us said a word to the other because there was nothing to say since we rode as King and guard. Honestly, even if we didn’t, there’d still be nothing to say. He had made his decision, and I made mine; which was to focus on my duty and nothing else, just like I had all those weeks ago.The journey to Coral Pack was a long, rocky one, which I didn’t expect. I mean I expected the ‘long’ part but not the ‘rocky’ party. It wasn’t that the road was entirely bad, but it wasn’t leveled, allowing for exaggerated movements on the c
Ellie.“Hey, why does your eyes look so…lifeless? Didn’t you sleep last night?” Julie took my arm as we walked to the hall, where our graduation was to take place.Julie had sent a dress–the button-down dress–to me late last night with the help of an omega staff, and even with how beautiful it looked on me, with my hair laid down, I guess it wasn’t enough to distract Julie from the bags under my eyes.“I did,” I opened my eyes wide, “I guess I can’t wait for everything to be over, so I can leave here,” I told her.“Well, I’m glad you feel that way because I was informed earlier that you, Tristian, and I would perform a graduation task today after the ceremony,” She said.“Alpha Tristian? How is it possible he’s graduating with us? I barely saw him attend lectures,” I tilted my head to the side.“Tristian took night lectures, he arranged with the instructors because of his busy life, I guess,” she said with a one-sided shrug and I nodded.“What is the task though? The one we’re to perf
