ElsaI 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
