Alexander's pov:
Bartholomew although old, he proved to be a worthy opponent. He repelled many of my attacks and fought strongly. Besides us, many Silver Dawn worriers were fighting with me. Along with my warriors, Bartholomew's accomplices were not far from here, and when they realized that there was a battle, they came to help. The battle between mine and Bartholomew's warriors lasted until the early hours of the morning.
Finally we managed to beat them. We had some losses, but Bartholomew's team had more. I managed to hurt Bartholomew and immobilize him. We gathered everyone in one spot and waited for the Council guards to come and take them away. They each faced serious charges and would likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Elektra's pov: I was fighting with father when he stopped attacking me and turn his attention to someone else that I couldn't distinguish. I was feeling so sore and tired. I couldn't open my eyes although I tried very hard. I didn't know what was happening to me. At first I was in a dark place. Then I left from there and found myself in a beautiful green field with lots of colorful flowers. As I was walking I saw a beautiful woman dressed in white wearing a white hat standing with her back to me. I approached and sat next to her. When I looked at her I saw with surprise that the beautiful woman standing next to me was no other than my mother. -"Mother" I said in surprise. She gave me a wide smile and then looked ahead again. We remained there looking at the horizon in absolute silence. -"I've been expecting you but not so soon...." she said in a serious tone. -"I ....I don't understand" I said confused. -"My daughter, I know I wasn't there for you during your upbringing, but I
Alexander’s pov:When I heard what Roxanne told me about the nurse who poisoned Elektra, I was sure Cassandra was behind all this. I still cannot believe how ruthless this girl became. I realize now that she has a strange obsession with me which combined with her rape by Bartholomew makes her act irrational: that's why she accused Roxane of attacking her and poisoning Electra.I immediately mind linked Alina and asked her to let me know where Cassandra was. Unfortunately, she didn't have much to say to me. They have lost their tracks on our southern border. That only meant one thing that Cassandra was very likely to come here. I immediately mind linked Steve to request access to the hospital's cameras.Half an hour later, Steve informed me that maybe he found something. At the same time a nurse was asking Elektra’s relatives to come forward. I told Steve to keep searching and that I would go upstairs a bit later while I approached the nurse.-“Are you Miss River’s relatives?” the nurs
Elektra's pov: After Alexander's revelations, many things changed that made my life brighter and happier from one day to the next. Alexander's presence was a catalyst for me. I loved him from the first time I saw him. Finding out that we were actually mates was a gift to me. After everything that happened recently, I had lost all hope for life. Bartholomew managed to make me believe that my future was doom, gloomy and lonely. I spent four days in the hospital. Apparently the poison was very strong and the doctors wanted to make sure there were no relapses. Besides Alexander, Roxanne and David visited me in a daily basis. Roxanne especially stayed with me the whole day while David preferred to stay a little and update me on everything in the pack. After Bartholomew's revelations I knew I had no right to continue being the Alpha of the Black Shadow Pack. I belonged to the Silver Dawn Pack by blood and origin. It's been something that was bothering me lately and I've decided to let Dav
Elektra’s pov:-“Now what?” I asked Alexander frustrated while we were descending the path.-“Relax. We will find a way my love” he tried to sooth me.-“What way? The elders were my last and only chance!” I pointed angrily.-“Don’t worry my love. We will think of something! Even if we don’t we know that we are mates and we love each other. We don’t need a kind of confirmation of our love or our relationship”-“What? No! How can you say something like this? I just can’t spend my whole life without feeling our bond. No, I am not going to compromise. I’ll find a way!” I said determined while a crazy idea crossed my mind.The rest of our trip went on in complete silence. A crazy idea started to haunt my mind. I just couldn’t wait to bring it to life.After one hour of walking and another one driving we finally arrived at the Black Moon Pack. I told Alexander to leave me in my old pack to take care of some things before I move to the Silver Dawn Pack. At first he wasn’t so willing to leave
Elektra’s pov:-“He is not my father and I didn’t come here to free him. How dare you?” I scolded him but he seemed unfazed by my sudden outburst. He opened the door by entering his code to the control panel and told me in a strict way “You have only ten minutes”-“Ok” I replied and after I took a deep breath I got in. The cell was moldy and cold. Bartholomew was ugly beaten: he had cuts and bruises all over his body while his face was already swollen. His clothes had become rugs and he had his head down.-"B……bartholomew" I managed to whisper. My voice was too low and timid for my taste, but though I mustered all my courage I could not sound sterner. He slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. He looked straight at me and smiled devilishly.-“Oh Elektra. To what do I owe the honor of your visit?” he asked in a sarcastic way.-“I came here because I seek some answers”-“Answers for what?”-“For my curse” I said louder.-“Oh the sweet princess wants to break the curse spell and marr
Elektra’s pov: I got in the car with a heavy heart. Bartholomew's words were full of venom. I know he didn't mean well, but what if there was some truth to it? -“Where do I go now?” I asked myself. -“Go to Alexander. Ask him about his feelings for you!” Frostie intervened in my head. -“Are you nuts? I can’t do something like this now!” I contradicted. -“Why not? If you ask Alexander directly, all your doubts will disappear!" Frostie suggested. -“I am not ready to face the truth” -“Why do you prejudge his answer?” Frostie wondered. -“I don't. I'm just not ready to deal with it right now” I explained. -“Then where are you going?” -“I really don’t know! I………” I said confused while started the engine of the car and accelerated. Alexander’s pov: It's been hours since I last spoke to Elektra. I really can't understand her. What's wrong with her? Why is she behaving like this? Ever since we left the elder's cabin, she has been distant and acting strangely. I know she was disappoin
Elektra’s pov:At five o'clock I got in the car and headed for the Silver Dawn pack. I was really upset about the whole thing. One side of me didn't want to follow the plan while the other insisted on doing it. I was dying to see Alexander's reaction. I was actually dying to see him again but something was holding me back. I was filled with doubts. I couldn't go on like this. I really hoped that he really loved me.After an hour and a half I was outside the southern border of the Silver Dawn pack. I passed the border control and headed towards the pack house where Alexander’s office was. I parked my car to the parking lot and headed towards the pack house when a guard greeted me and offered to accompany me. Although I didn’t find it necessary he strongly insisted so I let him do that. The guard informed the guards outside Alexander’s office about my arrival and they immediately welcomed me and opened the door for me. I got in while my escort stayed behind.As soon as Alexander realize
Elektra’s pov:I woke up in a room I didn't recognize. It was dark outside while there was a little light on in the room. I fumbled for the light switch and turned on the lights. The light made my eyes hurt for a few seconds until they adjusted to it. I looked around me. The room was very big and beautiful. White and cream were dominating. There was a big closet at my right and a small door at my left that probably led to the bathroom. I was lying on a very big double bed that had soft cotton sheets and a warm blanket.As I tried to figure out where I was, memories from hours earlier flooded my head. I was in Alexander's office, I rejected him and fainted! Oh my god what have I done! How could I do such a thing? What was I thinking?This man was always beside me. He helped me in everything and supported me when no one else did.I feel so ashamed of myself. How could I have been so naive? How will I be able to look him in the eye again after this? I have to get out of here right now.-
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
