Elektra's pov:
I left Richard's office and run to my room crying. Hearing that Alexander had finally found his mate was devastating for me. It was like someone stabbed me with a sharp knife in my heart! Frostie was a wreck too. She was crying uncontrollably inside my head. It was like she was mourning her lost love. Even though I knew we weren't mates, the fact that Alexander found his other half made the ground slide under my feet. I should expect that this moment would finally come, but I never thought it would be so soon. Why do I feel so sad? Apparently our feelings for him and his wolf where stronger than we thought it would be.
I decided to stay in my room all afternoon. I did not want to eat or drink or see anyone. I was completely devastated by the news. Any hope I had that maybe Alexander and I could be something more, vanished in theBartholomew's pov:It was late at night and I was still working in my office. Richard called me some minutes ago to inform me about Alexander's imprisonment. Apparently this idiot went back to the Silver Moon pack probably looking for Elektra. He is so foolish that he allows himself to be controlled by his desires..... And whoever does this is doomed to suffer the consequences.-"I have already locked this bastard up...He fell directly to our trap" Richard said triumphantly.-"Nice job! But you must be very careful; his pack will definitely notify the Council. Don't underestimate him" I commented.-"I know....I will keep him here only for a few days, just to push him away from
Steve's pov:It's been hours and Alexander hasn't communicated with me yet. Yesterday he said that he would go to the Silver Moon Pack to find Elektra and announce her the good news, but since then, I've got no sign of him. Alexander never does that, something is wrong. I decided to go down my office and call the Beta of the Silver Moon Pack and ask for explanations. I have to find out where my Alpha is.....After several rings the Beta of the Silver Moon Pack eventually answered my call.-"Beta Andrews of the Silver Moon Pack speaking. How can I help you?" a harsh voice was heard.-"Hello, I am Steve, Beta of the Silver Dawn Pack. I would like to ask about my Alpha, Alexander"-"What about
Richard's pov:-"Bartholomew I have sent you a picture of our guest. Check your emails" I said self -complacency.-"I have already seen them. Nice job" he said satisfied.-"I know....." I said proudly and continued "What are we going to do next?"-"We will continue to take care of him as long as he stays . We don't want to seem unwelcoming" Bartholomew said in a sarcastic way.-"This is a bit risky don't you think?" I said in worry.-"Don't be such a baby and do as I say....."-"Ok then..." I said defeated.-"And don't forget to send me feedback...."-"Yes, yes" I said and hung up the phone.I called two guards and ordered them to go down and continue their "job". I was studying some files when Andrew, my Beta informed me that the Council's Military Advi
Alexander's pov:Two hours later I was outside the eastern borders of the Black Shadow Pack. My watch was showing 16:30 and I knew that in half an hour the guards would change shifts. I had exactly two minutes to make my move and enter the pack premises unnoticed. So I decided to relax while I was waiting.At 17:00 the guards, faithful to their appointment, changed shifts. I quickly passed the outpost and headed towards the pack house. The first and easy part of my plan was already completed. Now I had to complete the second and more difficult: Find Elektra. Although I have hidden my sense, it will not be easy to wander in the pack without raising suspicions.I carefully approached the pack and scanned the area to find her. At this time o
Elektra's pov:-"How dare he come here and tell me he misses me days after he found his mate? What kind of man is he?"'I asked my wolf, Frostie.-"You should have at least let him talk to you. Listen to what he wanted to tell you..." Frostie reasoned.-"Talk to me and tell me what? About how much he wants to be with me despite the fact that he already has a mate? I understand that a mate is the most important thing for a wolf. If he didn't want her, all he had to do was reject her and find another instead of accept her, take her back to his pack and look for another lover".-"Maybe he wants to tell you that he has rejected her" Frostie contradicted.-"If he wished to be with me, he should first have rejected his mate, and then come to

Alexander's pov:It's been a week since I returned to my pack after Elektra's kind of rejection. I have decided not to bother her again. There was no reason for me to push her. If she wasn't willing to acknowledge me and accept me as her mate, I won't push her any further. My first priority was to put my plan into action. I had to avenge my father's killer and restore the order to the packs. The plan was simple but very dangerous. I knew the deeds of Bartholomew. All these years of watching him, I realized that he isn't the kind of guy who leaves anything to chance. He wants to control everything. He calculates and prepares his every move from start to finish. That's why we must be careful with every step we make.First, we had to strike hard at his financial dealings both legal and illegal. The in l
Bartholomews' pov:In seconds the place was filled with Council's high ranked wolves and lots of guards.-"You are surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender. Don't do anything stupid" came a deep male voice from afar.We raised our hands and waited in place when tall and well-built men approached us. They had their faces covered and were armed with high-tech weapons. I have seen these weapons at a military exhibition three months ago. The Council must have procured them. I didn't expect this from them. Lately the Council is more than active and doesn't function as aconsulting organization anymore.-"There has been a misunderstanding. We are innocent" Richard started to say aloud.-"Shut the hell up" ordered one of the guards and pushed him into the van. Then he pushed me in too. We got in and the door closed behind us. I signaled Richard to stop talking. We cou
Roxanne’s pov:A month passed with Elektra in the same state as always. The doctors said the hopes faded as time went on. Alexander did not visit her even once disappointing me more than expected. I couldn't believe his cruelty towards his own mate. What got into him? Didn’t he love her anymore? Didn’t he feel anything about her? I just couldn’t believe it. What happened to him? How did he become like this? Such an indifferent person….Electra lay on her bed pale and weak in a coma. I talked to her and brought her flowers every day. She was like a child to me. I couldn't come to terms with the idea that I was going to lose her soon…… The doctors were adamant. According to them, there was little chance of Elektra waking up. She was doomed to sleep for eternity and eventually die.I started sobbing. I couldn’t hold my tears anymore. I was devastated. I didn’t hear David entering the room. When he talked to me, I jumped out of fear.-“Roxanne?” he asked worriedly approaching me. “Are you
Alexander’s pov:I stood on my spot for several minutes feeling completely numb. My head was spinning as I tried hard to regain my composure. I was in a dilemma, trying to take a decision. On the one hand, I had Monica lying unconscious in her bed fighting cancer alone, while on the other hand Elektra was in a coma. But she wasn't alone. Roxanne and David were with her.– “This is not enough reason to leave her. You must go to her. She needs you" said Ares inside my head.-“Monica also needs me and she is completely alone. How can you ask me to leave her alone in a hospital room to fight for her life? I can't leave her now. He helped me when I was desperate and alone"-"You can have someone take care of her. Your first priority is your partner and not your friend" Ares scolded me.-"Stop it Ares. I didn't ask for your advice"-“You just can’t sit here and do nothing while your mate desperately needs you”-“I can’t do anything for her…”-“Of course you can! You have to go there and let
Roxanne’s pov:-"My Goddess. Is she dead?' I said and started sobbing uncontrollably while David went over to her checking for a pulse.-“She’s alive. But her pulse is very weak” David said some seconds later.I got closer to her unable to hold back my tears. I took her in my arms and held her tight while David called 911.-“What happened to you my beautiful daughter? What monster did this to you?” I said enraged.During our waiting for the ambulance I was holding her tightly in my arms while David checked the whole apartment looking for a clue about who have done this.The ambulance came and took her to the metropolitan hospital while we followed behind with a taxi.David called Jax, his Beta and asked him to send some wolves immediately here. He was in rage.Electra was immediately operated on. According to the doctors, she was severely beaten and suffered from internal bleeding.Hearing the news made my heart fall apart. I just couldn’t believe it. Elektra was a very strong woman.
Elektra’s pov:When the elevator opened I saw to my great surprise Andros tightly hugging and passionately kissing a blonde woman. I gave her a quick upside down glance. She was tall with long blonde hair and a fit body. She was gorgeous!-“What the hell?” I commented in frustration.-“What are you doing here? Are you following me?” he asked angrily.-“What? Of course not! I lost my phone and came to search for it”-“Here?” he wondered incredulously.-“That’s not the point Andros. Who is this woman?”-“I am his mate” the blonde woman replied.-“Your what?”-“I thought that you mate was dead along with your four year old child”-“We don’t have a child” the woman intervened again.-“Is this your second chance mate?” I addressed to Andros. I knew that second chance mates were scarce but Andros was lucky enough to find her and didn’t have the opportunity to tell me about it.-“What? No! I am his first and only mate” the blonde protested.-"Well, everything you told me a few minutes ago wa
Cito fit quod dei volant – What the gods want happens soon (Petronius) Alexander’s pov: -“What did you say?” I asked completely amazed. Hearing Elektra saying something like that surprised me deeply, especially now that I had lost every hope to win her back. -“You heard me” she said with a deeper voice than she used to. -“It isn’t you that talking but your wolf” I commented disappointedly. Of course it was her wolf who felt jealousy when she saw me with another female. Even though she rejected me, her wolf hasn’t given up our bond. No wolf can escape the bond. It is more complicated for them. -“No, it’s only me” she strongly denied. -“Please Elektra. Don't treat me like an idiot. I know you don’t have any feelings for me. You've been kind enough to show it to me several times in the past." I said in annoyance. -“Alexander I am sorry. I know I treat you badly but now I’m here to make amends…” -“To make amends? What are you talking about?” I asked in surprise…. I really didn’t ex
Alexander’s pov: Over the next few days, Monica and I attended every party and big social event that happened in town. While I know Monica's purpose was good, I found it extremely boring to attend to all these events. Never the less seeing Monica having a great time kept me going on. The only thing we definitely accomplished was to become the main topic of various newspapers and tabloids. The week was coming to its ending and Elektra was nowhere to be found. I was starting to feel really desperate. Monica's plan obviously didn't work out the way we expected. -“Relax…..At least we had a great time!” Monica exclaimed in enthusiasm. -“Yes, but going to various events doesn’t bring Elektra back” -“Do you love her that much?” -“I….think so……” -“You know what? I really don’t get it. We passed the whole week together while she did absolutely nothing….” -“What do you mean?” -“She didn’t show any sign that she really cares about you……” -“You know what? You’re right! If Elektra doesn’
Monica and I met each other at college. We were both very young and ambitious. Monica is human and even though she knows about our kind, she doesn’t have a problem. She’s always been supportive and understanding. Seeing her again already brightened my spirits. We went to a fancy restaurant to have dinner. We were having a really good time talking about our current lives and trying to catch up with everything. We mostly talked about our jobs and our common past. We were having a great time talking about all the embarrassing moments we shared together when suddenly I felt my wolf stirred happily into my head. It was then that I saw Elektra with this Andros getting inside. She was wearing a very sexy pink cocktail dress and had her hair up. Seeing her smiling standing at this man’s side made my blood boil. They sat four tables across ours. They seemed to having a very good time. Before allowing myself to get angry and ruin our night I decided to concentrate on Monica who all this time wa
Elektra’s pov:Seeing Alexander again was a big shock to me. For over a year I lived my life erasing every memory of him and somehow he comes back with the intention to claim what is rightfully his. After a year and a half of ignoring me, he came back to claim me as if I were a cursed object to him. Who does he think he is?Last night I accepted Andros’ invitation for dinner and decided to stay at his house for the night. I was about to tell him the truth about Alexander's appearance, but the night was so enjoyable that I didn't want to spoil it. So we went home and slept. Andros respected my wish to rest and didn’t insist on love making. He even made me breakfast in the morning! He is so attentive and caring and all this time he never misses an opportunity to show me how much he loves me. He is so perfect that I can already imagine my life beside him.My day was very tiring and demanding. My boss was so eager to close the deal with Alexander's company that when I arrived he took me to
Elektra’s pov:Our dinner tonight was a total disaster. Roxanne and Andros didn't get along well enough to drive me crazy. I don't know what Roxanne got her. He treated Andros with great hostility forcing him to react accordingly.-"Why did you treat Andros so badly?" I asked Roxanne as I opened the door to my apartment wide, walked in and threw away the keys.-"What? I didn't!" she refused trying to look innocent.-“Don’t treat me like a fool. You don’t like Andros and you managed to show it at every occasion! Why did you do that?”-“I…I didn’t!” she continued refusing my accusations.-“Please, stop denying it! Just tell me the truth for goodness sake!”-“Ok then! If you want to hear it! What happened to your mate? Did you forget him so easily?”-“Alexander belongs to the past! Don’t you see?” I contradicted.-“Alexander is your mate!” she exclaimed in annoyance.-“Alexander is nothing to me! Don’t you see that I moved on and want to leave everything behind?”-"My child, you will nev
