Elsa

I could hear her. Farrah’s voice seemed to carry more than any of the others.

She was once again trying to hit on my mate. I smile as Nate defends me.

Defend. It was an odd feeling. No one had stuck up for me in years, not since Dad. Even when people found out what Kyra was doing to me, they turned a blind eye. Ignoring what was happening right in front of them.

Settling down on the bottom of the stairs, I just listen.

Farrah demands to know why he would choose me over her. How he could want me when he knew that she was a Luna by birth right. But I was too. She just didn't know it.

Nate's voice raises. “If you continue to pester me, I have no problem shutting you in the dungeon.”

“You can’t do that. My father will be so mad.”

“He has warned you many times, Farrah. Now back off. I don’t want to hear about this anymore. I have made my choice.”

“You are making a big mistake, Alpha Nate. We could have been great together. I could have stood by your side. Our packs could have join

    NateThe chains scared her and not in the way I expected. Something to do with her human life, maybe? But she had never said anything. Though, right now, her tears were giving her away.She sits herself down on the small bench. Every now and then she would scratch at her skin. She was already tinged red from the burning that she was feeling. Beads of sweat sat on her skin but she didn’t complain. She just sat in silence, staring at nothing.Her shoulders rise and fall with several small sighs.“You don’t need to be scared. This happens with all first time transitions. It's a right of passage."“It’s not my first time though, is it?”“It is your first full moon. We don’t know what will happen.”She nods her head and suddenly thanks me.“For what?”“For defending me when Farrah tries it on with you.”“You want to talk about that?"She nods her head again. "It will take my mind off of it."“I’m not interested in Farrah, Elsa. I won’t ever be. She means nothing to me.”“I know.” She pause

    ElsaI could smell it. The droplets of blood on the forest floor. I wanted it. I wanted to taste it. I wanted to sink my teeth into something.My feet pound the forest floor. Diving between the trees with ease as I followed the trail of crimson. A few spots here and there, but enough to scent.I didn’t care if Nate followed. I just wanted one thing and I wasn’t stopping until I found it.The forest was quiet. Apart from the little critters running around trying to hide from me.It felt amazing, feeling the wind in my fur as I moved. Though the tail was a weird thing. It was like it had a mind of its own.There was no one, just me. I slow down to a trot, taking in everything around me. The trees were tall, blocking out all sunlight. Autumn leaves littered the grounds, burying my feet ankle deep. The scents of the forest were strong but not strong enough to cover the blood.Nate calls for me in the distance. I wasn’t ready to go to him. I was hungry.Picking up the pace, I charge throu

    ElsaFinn keeps his distance throughout the day. He watches me from afar and everytime I catch him looking at me, he moves away. Looking frustrated.I had tried leaving the house, but there were guards on the front and back door. Keeping me his prisoner.The house wasn’t exactly big either and there weren’t many places I could hide.How was I even in this mess? It’s like I can’t have anything good for more than a couple of days.Taking refuge in the lounge, I turn on the tv. I need distraction. I needed to clear my head.It wasn’t long before I could feel his eyes on me again. Staring into the back of my head like he was trying to figure out what I was thinking about. Glancing up, I see him. He is sat at the desk in his office. His yellow eyes linger on me before he turns away.“So you kidnap me and then ignore me?” I shout.“I didn't kidnap you. I returned you to your true home.” He mutters back through gritted teeth.“It’s not my home.”He slams his hand down on the desk as he stand

    Elsa“You need to shift.” Finn mutters, looking between me and the doctor. “You need to shift and you need to hunt. The sickness won’t stop until you do.”“Then I will be sick.” I moan. I was certain my insides were trying to find a way out of me.“Are you always this stubborn?”“No. Only when I’m with you. You seem to have this way of bringing it out of me.” I groan through gritted teeth as he smirks at me.I could see the doctor cocking an eyebrow at me. “Alpha, you should let her suffer. Punishment for how she is speaking to you.“And you are also speaking out of line. Elsa is a Blood Luna. Whether you like it or not.”I watch the doctor drop his head in submission. He takes several steps back. Finn's eyes are almost black as he turns to him. “Don’t ever question my decision again.” He growls and the doctor shrinks back further. His eyes are on the floor, his shoulders hunched up around his chin.“GO!” Finn mutters with a snarl.When he turns back to me, his eyes are yellow again.

    Elsa“Then why didn’t you come looking for me? If you really wanted me that much Finn. Nate found me. He saved me. He wants me for me. Not for my blood!”My temper was growing shorter and shorter. And not just at this moment. I had noticed it in the last few days. I wasn't the girl who just accepted my life as it was, she was gone.“I didn’t know you existed.”“Exactly my point."He rolls his eyes at me."And now, somehow, you think you have this claim to me. You don’t. It’s as simple as that.”“He’s just using you.” He grumbles“Like you’re using Craig and Farrah?”His eyes narrow at me. “It’s not the same.”“It doesn’t matter why or how you use people, Finn. If you use them, you are the same as everyone else.”As I turn from him, he grabs my hips and pulls me back toward him. “You don’t get to decide when we are done.”“We were done before you met me.” I pull myself away and stomp up the stairs. It was a petty response, but I wanted to get away as far as possible. Even if that only

    NateIt had been days since I last saw her.Not hearing her or seeing those baby blue orbs was leaving a hole in my heart.I had my men search the forest for her. They found some lingering humans and took them as hostages, but none of them seemed to know what we were talking about. Or who Elsa was.Why hadn’t she come back? What had she gotten herself into?“You need to stop beating yourself up.” Mason mutters“Are you serious?” Lola snaps back. “It’s his fault she’s gone.”“Where would she go? It’s not like she has a safe place to go.” Mason shrugs his shoulders.“What if she was kidnapped? You said her mother came here. What did she want?” Lola demands.“She didn’t want anything.” I growl through gritted teeth. "Other than to tell me that Finn would come for her one day. Do you think she went to him?”They look at each other with wide eyes but don’t speak.“Someone say something.” I mutter“She wouldn’t. She doesn’t like him.” Lola gives me a weak smile. "But maybe….”“Maybe what?”

    Elsa“Take it from me. Whatever you say to him. It won’t change what I have planned.” Finn smiles at me. “That’s if you can even speak to him.”I scowl. I hated the fact he knew so much about me.“You just told me you were going to kill him.” I was keeping my distance. Pacing the bedroom as he leans against the wall, watching me.Why did everything have to result in death?“It’s the only way you will be mine. And this way, you don’t have to choose.”“I….” I was beyond surprised. How could he think that I would be happy? “I have already told you, Finn. I will never be yours. If I can’t be with Nate, I won’t be with anyone.”“I’m doing this to make things easier for you.” Finn is still smiling. My comment didn’t seem to phase him in the slightest.“To make things easier? I love him. Do you really think killing my mate will make things easier for me?”“You don’t love him. You are just caught up in the mate bond. That will disappear the moment his heart stops.”I stop to really look at h

    NateAlpha Craig is uncontactable. I tried. Mason and Lola tried. Even Farrah. It was even more concerning that he wasn’t responding to his own daughter.Farrah sits uncomfortably on the chair. Perched on the end, as if it would keep her safe. Her hands are bound together in her lap. Mason had placed tape over her mouth too. Mascara lines caked her cheeks from the crying.Her knee quickly jiggles up and down. I hadn’t seen her do that in a long time. It was how I knew she was actually afraid.“Shall I just kill her? Surely that will make her father come to us. He will want revenge.” Mason is smiling at her. He wasn’t exactly a fan of hers.“No way. If anyone is going to kill her, let it be me.” Lola grins from my other side.Farrah lets out a muffled yelp. More tears run down her face as her eyes plead with me.“No.”“NO??” Mason and Lola chime. “Are you mad? She could be telling her father all sorts of lies.” Lola glares at me.“She could be.” “Alpha, she's too much of a risk.” Ma

  • Claimed By The Lycan Alpha   Epilogue.

    Elsa Five months had passed since I killed Kyra. Some nights, her face still haunts me and Rex needs to remind me that I killed her. That there was no way she was coming back this time. There had been no sightings of Vampires, making Kyra right about one thing. She took us on alone. Maybe she really had been ready to die. Fingers click in my face. “Daydreaming?” I smile at Rex as he hands me a juice. He kisses me on the cheek and then kisses my very swollen belly. “I can’t help it.” I whisper, taking a mouthful of the juice. “There hasn’t been a problem in months. Everyone is happy.” “What about Oliver? he still hasn’t forgiven you.” “He never will. I was the reason he lost his mate.” “But…” “It doesn’t matter. I would be the same if I lost you. Now drink, I want our boy to be strong.” I roll my eyes at him. It still wasn’t a hundred percent certain that we were having a boy or girl. “Why don’t we just go and see Fern? She has a machine that can tell us.” He pleads. He h

    RexIt takes a few hours for one of the guards to locate Rosa. They find her unconscious and in her underwear. Tied to a tree and gagged in the deepest part of the forest.Her blonde hair was a mess, she had scrapes and bruises all over her, but she insisted she is fine. That worse things have happened to her.She stands next to me as we both look on over Elsa.“Still no sign.” I mutter. She had been barely conscious when we found Kyra. By the time Elsa was dropped to the ground, she was completely unconscious and she had been that way since. That was three days ago.I couldn’t find a single mark on her. No bullet holes. No strange scent coming from her mouth. The baby’s heart was beating normally too and yet, she couldn’t wake up.“I have tried everything.” Rosa murmurs.“I know.”“No, you don’t understand. There is nothing else. No other medicine. No herbal remedy. No concoction. Her heart is beating perfectly and so is the heart of the unborn pup. I cannot find anything wrong.”“I

    RexNo one had seen Rosa. She had just vanished.For a brief second, I feel Elsa. Pure dread washes over her.‘Elsa, talk to me.’ I link as I hurry back towards Rosa’s cottage. "Is something wrong? Is it the pup?"Links start coming in from Oliver and other guards in the forest. Lycans had been found dead. Silver bullets in their heads or their hearts.‘It’s not Rosa’. Elsa is somehow keeping calm. ‘It’s Kyra. I can kill her.’‘Elsa, you can’t shift. You are pregnant.’Her fear kicks in as she realises she is at a massive disadvantage.As I approach Rosa’s cottage, I feel Elsa’s pain.‘Elsa you need to keep talking.’ But there was silence and she wasn't here.‘Elsa?’Pushing open the door of the cottage, I find it empty, the fire in the fireplace had gone out a long time ago.‘Elsa, where are you?’‘Forest.’ She whispers back which is followed by a cry of pain.Zara and Oliver come running towards me.“We have been breached.” Oliver mutters.“I know that. It’s Kyra, she portrayed hers

    ElsaHis grey eyes don’t leave mine as his brain puts together what I was trying to say. It was the birth of Zara and Olivers twins that had freaked me out. The fact that one twin was fine and the next minute, he was gone and nothing could have helped him. I was certain it was me, that I had brought my bad luck with me and I was afraid of something happening to James.The day that I realised I was late on my period. I freaked out because I didn’t want children. Knowing that I would be a bad mother. Nor was I ready for them. Not with everything that's happening right now.Rosa had taken one look at me and said I was pregnant. One single look. She told me that she would find me a test to confirm it.I hadn’t said anything to anyone. I didn’t understand how she knew. She encouraged me to talk to Rex, she told me that he would be happy. Of course he would. He had openly said it. I was the problem. Me not him.It was now. I had to tell him now before he got himself killed.His hand pushes

    Rex“She’s panicking.” I mutter as Oliver hangs up the phone to one of the Alpha’s“Do you want to go and check on her? I can keep making calls.”“She said she stubbed her toe.”He smiles as he tries not to laugh. “She doesn’t quite understand the matebond does she?”“No. Our bond is different to what she had with Nate. She probably doesn’t understand that I know she’s lying or the fact I can feel it.”“You should tell her.”“I will, but not right now. It's only something she has heard. It's nothing major. Plus, she’s with Rosa, maybe it’s something Rosa has said, but right now, we need to prepare for the meeting at two.”He rings around to a few other packs. Oliver was pretty much getting the same response I was. They weren't happy, but they agreed to the meeting.“That’s the last of the Alpha’s.” Oliver mutters as he hangs up. “They have all agreed.”“And they are all pissed about it.” I groan“Do you blame them? We haven’t had to discuss Vampires in a long time. They’re not stupid

    Elsa“You hit me?” I mutter, rubbing my cheek after I slammed my hand against her face.“You are not yourself. I need you to snap out of it. We all do.”“I’m fine.” I mutter, but I wasn’t sure if that was true. My mind seemed to be running at a million miles an hour. Different images popping into my head. I was trying to remember what Kyra had said the last time I saw her. If there was even a hint of a plan in her words. I couldn’t. All I could remember was her horrible smug smile. “Elsa?” Rex smiles, slipping his hand between the front seats and reaching for mine.I take his warm fingers in mine. His calmness was reassuring. How he was always calm when chaos surrounded me, I will never understand.“Just breathe.”For a few moments, I do as he says. Pushing all the bad thoughts from my head. Trying to give myself a clear mind so that I could think straight.“She’s here.”All three of them nod.“I’m not crazy?”“No. You are right.” Rex’s brow furrows. “Somehow, she is alive.”“Or sh

    Rex“Elsa, Kyra is dead. I killed her myself.”“You’re wrong!” She snaps at me as she tries to look around me.“Elsa, I broke her neck. She couldn’t have survived that. Humans don't survive that.”Her eyes are wide. “I know what I saw.”“I know. But it’s just your mind playing tricks on you after everything you have been through.”“Tricks?”“You have been through a lot and it’s finally catching up with you.” I try to wrap my arms around her, but she shakes her head at me.“She survived once.” She mutters. “Someone saved her before.”“This time it’s different. You have to trust me.” I should have asked Rosa for some help before I left. Maybe a tonic or something that could have helped Elsa.Her eyes refocus on mine. The darkness slowly disappears until I see those beautiful baby blues.She gets back in the car. Her knee jiggles as we pull away. Her hands tie themselves up in knots.She keeps looking behind us.“There is no one there.” I rest my hand on her thigh and her knee stops jigg

    RexElsa was gone by the time I woke up. In her place in my arms was her pillow. She was pretty good at getting away if she needed to. I was massive in comparrison to her.She hadn’t been gone long, her scent was still strong. Maybe an hour tops.Dressing, I follow her scent through the house and out the front door. “Alpha Rex!” Zara calls out to me. She hurriedly paces towards me with James strapped to her chest“Zara, I’m a little busy.”“I know.” She matches my strides. “You’re looking for Elsa. I can save you the trouble. She’s with Rosa.”“Why?”She shrugs her shoulders at me. “It seemed important but I didn’t think it was my place to ask. Maybe she has gone to ask Rosa for some help. Elsa hasn’t really said much since the plane or the meeting. I’m sure she must be grieving to a point.”“Maybe, maybe not.” I turn ready to head in Rosa’s direction. Thinking about how she broke down in the shower yesterday.“Has she said anything to you? About how she killed Corina?”“No.”“Alpha,

    ElsaThe plane touched down and just like before, there were cars waiting for us. People looking on eagerly. Rex must have told them already.Oliver runs towards us, embracing Zara and lifting her off the ground. He thanks Rex for bringing her home. And quickly starts asking questions, wanting to know what happened.“Debrief back at the house.” Rex mutters. His hand had been on mine the entire time since he had pulled me on his lap. Almost afraid to let me go.The car ride is quiet. Rex’s eyes would fall on me every few minutes. I could feel his worry. The concern that he had for me. He wanted to ask me questions but I knew he would wait until we were alone.Even when Rex invites them in so they could talk, he still refuses to let go of me. Maybe it was his touch, holding me together like glue. Preventing me from having some kind of melt down.They sit around the glass table. Already talking about what had happened like it was some kind of history story. But it was me. I was the one w
