Elliot’s Point of view
"How are you feeling?" Asks my grandfather as he sits in the chair next to my bed.
Even though he's 70 years old, he's far from being an old fart. He has the same hair as my father and me, I mean had, because today it is mostly white. I reassure myself that if I'm lucky I will be like him and won't have baldness.
"I am doing very well. I keep saying it but everyone is too afraid of my mother to allow me to leave." I say with a laugh.
I expect him to laugh too but he just gives me a forced smile.
"I have a question. I know you never liked my mom very much. Is that because she grew up with Luna Mary?"
He looks at me, mouth agape. "But how..."
I cut him off and lie. "I found an old picture of her with Luna Mary and Alpha Jack. I deduced that the three of them grew up together."
Elliot’s Point of view"So she didn't live happily ever after?" I say and he shakes his head. "Don't tell me her second mate rejected her too!""No, on the contrary. From what I heard he took great care of her. He was the perfect mate for her." He says in a bitter tone. I wonder if deep down he's not a little jealous. She was his fated mate after all, it's normal that he was attached to her.I wonder then if I too will be able to turn the page if Alice rejects me but I quickly push back the idea. I don't give up trying to change her mind."What went wrong?""She killed herself, right after they marked each other." He says in a small voice.I frown. "I don't understand. It's kind of a good thing, it would have helped her rebuild even more.""That's just it. I think she was too broken. After they mate and mark, she went b
Alice’s Point of view"Oh, you. I swear I'm going to get up and throw you against the wall. I'll slice you in half with my daggers, slash you with my claws, finish you off with a baseball bat and put what's left of you in a blender!" I scream at this machine of evil.The doctor enters at the same time. "Alpha Alice. Who are you talking to?""To your heart monitor of doom! The beep is driving me crazy!"I see him panic. He hasn't forgotten what I did to the last one. "Please calm down. The angrier you get, the faster and louder it beeps and the more it annoys you. It's a vicious cycle that you can only break by calming down." He tells me softly as if he was talking to a child.I urge myself to calm down and the machine resumes a slow beep. "Please tell me you're going to let me out.""Unfortunately, yes. You've healed incredibly fast and the Ki
Elliot’s Point of view"Do we really have to?" I ask, trying once again to tie my tie."Yes, it says so on the invitation. 'Tuxedo for the gentlemen and evening gowns for the ladies.'" Says Simon as he ties his knot easily."This is ridiculous." I say as I toss my tie onto my bed.I don't understand why we have to dress this way. Tuxedos belong to the past. Today, people wear canvas pants with casual sneakers, a white shirt, and a blazer. And by no means ties."Don't worry, you look great like this." Says Owen as he ties my tie."I know a certain lady that will fall right in front of you." Simon whispers in my ear.I shoo him away with my hand and look at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a blue navy suit with a white shirt and a dark red tie, almost like the color of my hair. I paid a little visit to the pack hairdress
Alice’s Point of viewI reluctantly follow Derek into a private room. Cassie is giving me a headache because she wants us to stay with Elliot and no matter how much I remind her why it's impossible, she doesn't budge.I sit down on one of the couches and Derek sits down next to me. He looks embarrassed and that doesn't sound good to me."Uh. Alice. I have something to tell you."Oh no. No no no."I heard rumors that our fathers wanted us to mark each other."That sounds more like a statement than a question but I nod. "Yes I've heard rumors but my dad never told me anything about it.""Well, mine did when you were in the hospital. Apparently, they've been talking about it since we were kids because we've always been so close. They thought we'd be fated mates and they were disappointed that we weren't. So was I." H
Alice’s Point of viewI look at Elliot, pleadingly. No good excuse comes to me and I pray that he has more imagination than I do, but he is as dumbfounded as I am.Another person arrives with a book and a glass of rum in the hand."Alice, Elliot, I think I've got it." Says Prince Benjamin.What the hell is he doing here?"Oh, Goddess! Prince Benjamin! I'm so sorry I didn't see you!" Rose says, bowing slightly.He looks at her, his face hard. He is very tall and finely muscled. His dark suit brings out his golden hair and his ice-blue eyes, almost white."I'm sorry young lady, but we are busy." He says emotionlessly as he walks over to our table to put down his glass and a very thick green book that looks ancient.A loud sound of broken glass is heard in the back of the room. We rush towards the noise and fin
Alice’s Point of view"Are you sure?" Ben asks."Positive." Assures Elliot.I fall into the chair next to Elliot. "So how did they do it?"Ben sighs loudly and drinks a large glass of whiskey. "I don't know. Maybe some other spells or potions don't require a sacrifice."We remain silent for a moment before Elliot speaks up again."At least we have some assumptions now. We won't have any more answers on the subject tonight. On the other hand, I do have some other information."He then tells the story of our mothers and Ben is stunned. He's even more shocked by the story of our grandfathers and I have to admit that I was so not ready for that. Like, really not ready."This is impossible." I say. "We would have heard about this Violet and this Vivian for sure.""That's just it. According
Elliot’s Point of viewThe sparks burn me and she responds to my kiss with the same urgency and desperation that I have.It's touching her now that makes me realize how much it hurt to be away from her.Our sighs and grunts echo through the room, Alice's hands leaving furrows of fire on my skin. The smell of her arousal fills the room, making me lose my mind. Shit. I press myself against her and she gasps as she feels my erection against her hip."By the way, I don't think I told you." I say between kisses.She's completely out of breath. "What?""You look beautiful in that dress." I whisper softly.She moans and continues to kiss me, licking my lips to ask for entrance. I moan and she takes the opportunity to taste me fully.After a few minutes, she says breathlessly "By the way, I don't think I
Elliot’s Point of viewThe meal was interminable. I finally went back to my room and immediately took off these awful shoes. I'll never wear those horrors again.I look at my phone but Alice hasn't called yet. I throw it on my bed and decide to take a shower.I am just beginning to untie my tie when someone knocks. A little surprised, I open the door to a very agitated Owen and Simon. They walk into my room and I barely have time to close my door before Owen starts talking at full speed."Don't be mad at me, but I told Simon about the mission you gave me and it gave me an idea. I told you I didn't have the computer skills, but Simon's friend's friend has a cousin whose girlfriend is the sister of an acquaintance of ... well, yeah, whatever. I got the info you wanted.""Wait wait wait. This friend ... the girlfriend of the sister of the acquaintance's cousin, an
Elliot’s Point of viewI sigh and drop my head on my desk, nearly knocking over a whole stack of documents. It's been a year since Alice and I took over from our fathers, and I'm very proud to say that we're doing quite well considering our young age and the huge territory we have to manage.Although we are both officially the Alphas of this pack, it has been too complicated internally and most members call her Luna, which she willingly accepts as long as she remains an Alpha in the eyes of the rest of the world.It was the same for our two Betas and our two Gammas. So we had to create new titles. Sam is Beta, Owen is Delta, Simon is Gamma and Melanie is Epsilon. It was a little strange at first but it has made our lives a lot easier.We have a lot of work to do, but we've managed to organize ourselves to continue college on the side.The new packho
Alice’s Point of view"Get a grip, for Goddess' sake!" Cassie tells me impatiently.I nervously pace around my old room, biting my nails as I go.After visiting the Silvers, we announced the King's decision to our parents, who took it surprisingly well. They were a little sad to retire early, but they admitted it was for the best. They hated each other too long to cooperate so quickly.We decided to build a new packhouse on neutral ground, right in the center of town.Oh yeah. Since the packs are now united, the corridors that were set up are no longer useful and the King also wants us to take care of the city so that we don't have a 'dead zone' in the middle of our territory. Great. Even more area to manage.So Elliot and I had to plan our wedding in less than a week and I can't thank enough our entire new pack for their help.
Elliot’s Point of viewWe arrive at the airport of the city, the plan of battle already established. We call all our parents to let them know we are here.We shift and head towards the Silver's territory. Arrived in the proximity, we shift back and we approach slowly the border to not look threatening.A growl is heard and we freeze on the spot. The sound of branches is heard and a man comes to us. He has a hard, closed face, but shows a frank surprise when he recognizes us."Alpha Elliot, Alpha Alice. What are you doing here?"I sniff discreetly and notice that a lot of Silvers are guarding their border."Are you afraid of an attack?" I ask.He pretends not to understand and Alice cuts him off."What's your name?""Roger.""Roger, we can see that the guard has doubled. We
Alice’s Point of viewI move slowly on a very comfortable bed. We finally managed to find the bedroom with this huge bed in which, I confess, we did not sleep much.He woke me up several times during the night for this new need that we couldn't seem to satisfy. No matter how many times or in what position, I feel like I can't get enough.He sleeps beside me, breathing deeply. I stroke his cheek and then his lips with my fingertips, drawing a moan from him.Knocks are heard at the front door. I move an inch away from him, but Elliot's arms close around me to crush me against his chest."Where do you think you're going?"More banging can be heard.He growls. "I can't believe it. I said I didn't want anyone to disturb us."The person knocks harder."Leave it. They will go away." He
Alice’s Point of viewHe opens his room hastily and pushes me inside. I expect him to jump on me as usual but he walks away from me to his dressing, without a glance for me who is on fire."Uh, Elliot?"He doesn't answer and I just hear drawers opening and closing and zipper noises."What the hell is he doing?" Cassie asks, exasperated. "Has he forgotten us or what?"He rushes out of his room with a bag, dragging me behind him. He grabs my room key from my back pocket and repeats the same operation in my room.He comes out just as quickly with a second bag. Still pulling me along behind him, he knocks like a madman on Owen's door.He opens it with anger. "WHAT? Why are you knocking like that?"Elliot scans him with and I notice that Owen is wearing only a towel around his waist. His hair is
Alice’s Point of viewTwo weeks. Two weeks that our families have taken over their pack and are taking turns caring for the Silvers. It's not a sustainable situation over time, but it's good enough for now.I've been trying to work things out with Elliot for two long weeks. He and I have talked a lot and just when I thought we were going to work things out, we ended up at an impasse.At first, he was afraid that my feelings had changed and although I reassured him as best I could, I can feel that he still has doubts. For my part, I am afraid that one day he will leave me. Werewolves don't always end up with their fated mate and choose one. And they are happy.But we can't even do that. We will have nothing to bond us. So even though humans seem to love each other like that, it's not nearly enough for werewolves who need to really mark their 'territory'. We are part animals after
Alice’s Point of viewI'm all too familiar with this kind of dream. The kind where I visit Elliot when we're both asleep. Or almost dead.I'm in the forest, dressed in a nice pale pink summer dress. My hair is up in an elegant bun.Cassie jumps around in my head, not daring to believe it."I thought our bond was broken!" She exclaims. "So did I!" "Quick, let's find him!"I start running through the forest, calling for him with all my strength. After a few minutes, I hear a noise behind me.I turn around and see two fuchsia eyes staring at me intently.Although I'm surprised, I'm not scared at all. In fact, I feel calm in front of this eyes with their unusual color."Huh, Hello?"The eyes blink and a wolf comes out
Alice’s Point of viewAn excruciating pain pierces me and I just want to die.So is this what it feels like when your mate dies? I understand why the one left commits suicide or dies of pain within seconds."Let's think about our family, our friends. Think about Elliot. He is our mate, not Derek." Says Cassie."That's not how I feel right now!" I say wryly.After an eternity, the pain becomes bearable and I manage to stand up.I look down at Derek's body, the body of the man who was my best friend for all his years.What he did is unforgivable but I can't help but feel sad that I lost a friend."That's the past." Cassie tells me. "We need to focus on the future."I nod and leave Derek's body in the room before opening the door to the dressing
Alice’s point of viewEveryone says that when you get marked, you feel a sharp pain replaced by intense pleasure.As Derek's fangs close on my neck, I do feel a sharp pain but it only gets worse by the second.I feel a link forming between us. A powerful link that goes until the deepest of my soul.I hear a harrowing scream. For a moment I think it's mine, but through my tears I see Elliot throwing himself at us, mad with rage and anger.The guards next to him hold him down and tackle him to the ground. I see him struggle and one of the guards seems to grab a baton to hit him.Derek finally let go and I rush forward to stop the guard's arm inches from Elliot's face."Derek, you promised." I say as I raise my head to him.He wipes the corner of his lip where some of my blood had gotten stuck.
