Elektra's pov:
After two days of endless discussions and negotiations the meeting between the Alphas was eventually over.
I returned to my pack anxious to warn my father of the bounty. It was Saturday noon when we arrived at our pack completely exhausted. These meetings always are very noisy and stressful for me. Apart from the meetings I had to face Alexander's intimacies with his mate. Wherever I went I found them spending time together. Although most of the time they behaved decently but I just couldn't stand watching them together. It was obvious that in a short time they managed to build a strong relationship among them. Although I didn't like the idea at all, I had no other choice. I have to accept that there isn't any chance for me and Alexander. Furthermore even if his mate didn't exist we co
Alexander's pov:We returned to our pack completely exhausted but satisfied yesterday morning. The decisions made were all to the point. Most of the Alphas realized that Bartholomew was a threat to our society and were willing to contribute to our try to catch him and put him behind bars.The only thing that made me feel awkward was Elektra's behavior. Although she tried to look cool and collected deep inside me I felt her concerns. It wasn't easy being in a room where everyone is talking bad about your father and treating you like an enemy. At least she understood the importance of the situation and seemed that she accepted the fact that her father is a ruthless criminal.I told mother the news at dinner. Although she was thrilled with the boun
Bartholomew's pov:So my little daughter is collaborating with the enemy. What did she think? That I wouldn't be aware of her activities? I trusted her by giving everything to her and she betrayed me. Jordan was right. Elektra was the spitting image of her mother in every aspect. She is a traitor like her.I was watching the pack house all night when I saw Alexander accompanied by two guards heading to my office. I expected Elektra to imprison him or cast him away from the pack but she did neither.Alexander stayed forty five minutes in my office and then walked away just like that. Why did she leave him go away? She knows that he is the cause for my imprisonment and run out. One is the reason: my daughter is a traitor. But she is going to find
Bartholomew's pov: I got home around noon when I saw tracks on the trail. Alexander wasted no time and sent a scout to look for me. I followed the tracks that led to my hut. I carefully looked around while I stayed hidden behind some trees. I saw a figure circling the hut trying to see if anyone was inside. I suddenly recognized who it was. Much to my surprise, Jordan was ready to enter the cabin! I should have known better that boy scouts aren't that sloppy. I approached him as quietly as I could in the blink of an eye and grabbed him from behind. -"What are you doing here?" I asked him as I tightened the loop of my arms around his neck. -"Bartholomew at last I have found you!" he said with great difficulty. -"What do you want here Jordan?" I insisted. -"I came here to warn you! Elektra is going to betray you!" -"How did you manage to find me?" -"I wouldn't be your Beta if I couldn't do that," he boasted. "Don't forget that I know many things about you" -"What do you want?"
Elektra's pov:I woke up hearing someone talking. Even though, I tried very hard to open my eyes, something prevented me to do so. My body was numb and it was very hard for me to move my limbs while my mouth was dry and had a weird taste.The voices got louder as the seconds ticked by and I started to feel my fingers moving again. I tried to move my arms to no avail. I suddenly realized that my hands and feet were tied. Cold sweat appeared on my forehead. Why was I tied up? I opened my eyes and looked around. I was tied to the bed and completely alone.The place was dark, but I confirmed that I was still in the cabin. "What happened? How many hours was I lying here? Was my father's friend angry with us for invading his space? Where did Jordan go? Why did he leave me alone?" I thought to myself while Frostie remained quiet.Several minutes passed in complete silence. I tried to free myself to no avail. I was so desperate that I started counting the nails in the ceiling. I had reached t
Elektra's pov:Two days have passed in absolute boredom. My days were spent in the cabin and around it while my father was always out. Where he went all day and what he did during his absence I'll never know... We only met at lunch and dinner without mentioning anything. I started to feel very frustrated. I couldn't be locked anymore. I wanted to get back to my pack and take on my responsibilities. When I expressed my thoughts, father always managed to reassure me by telling me that it would all be over soon.I really don't know how he's going to pull it off. He's a fugitive, everyone in the country is after him, a big bounty is on his head, yet he's sure everything will be fine and he'll continue with his life just like that. I'm starting to think he's completely crazy.
Elektra's pov:I woke up with an awful feeling. I was lying on my bed with a blanket covering my body. I checked myself only to find out I was only in my underwear. Everything came back to me. The events of yesterday played again and again in my mind. What happened to me? I....I fainted when father tried to kiss me."Oh ....my ......Goddess!" I shouted in despair covering my mouth with my hand when I realized what must have taken place. My father raped me! Hot tears started falling down my cheeks.I was devastated. I felt so violated, so vulnerable and helpless. My own father dared to take advantage of me! How could he do such a despicable thing? I was curled up in my bed crying, when he (it's so difficult to call him like anything after what happened yesterday), got in. Fear overwhelmed me managing to paralyze me. I couldn't be in the same room with him. I pulled my legs to my chest and my head leaned against the headboard.-"Finally you are awake" he said with a mischievous smile co
Alexander's pov:I was working in my office until late, revising some files when Alina got in.-"Alpha, I have to speak to you for something very important"-"What's going on Alina?' I said as I put in the files I was keeping.-"We have a woman from the Black Shadow pack in the dungeons."-"Who is she?" I wondered anxiously.-"Relax, it isn't Elektra..." I assured him.-"And?" I asked her looking her straight in the eyes.-"She attacked Cassandra. I interrogated her but she insists on talking with you"-"She attacked Cassandra? Why?"-"I don't know. Maybe Bartholomew sent her. She belongs to his pack and what is more to his close environment"-"Then you did well. Thank you for informing me. Have two guards watch over Cassandra"-"I've already done that"-"That's why you are the best" I told her giving her a thumb up while she smiled at me broadly.The following days were very tiring. My spies didn't manage to find where Elektra went. I was frustrated as I had a premonition that someth
Alexander's pov:-"What? No, no, no. I've told you before; I can't jeopardize your safety" I insisted.-"I didn't ask for your opinion. I'll come no matter what you think." she contradicted.-"No, you won't" I said in an imposing way when she gave me a stern look.-"Look, it's Elektra's life that is at stake. I won't back off. I don't care if you are the Alpha of this pack. You can't expect me to sit quietly here and wait. I'll come along and there is nothing you can do to prevent me" she argued.-"Ok, ok......" I said raising my hands up defeated and headed towards the parking lot where the rest of the team was waiting for us at the S
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
