Elena pov I'm frozen to my spot and my heart beats hard in my chest. The first wolf almost has reached over to where I am when suddenly a wolf comes tackling it from the side and they both end up a bit away from me, seeing the other two turn their heads and run over to the fight I look at them for a moment before I start to run back to the house. If I'm going to have a chance to escape this is it! Seeing this as my chance to get away I turn around the house and it's just a little bit until I have reached the front door when a grey big wolf comes to cut off my way. Halting in my track when it starts to growl at me and show me all its teeth I slowly start to walk backward. I don't get it! Why are they here? And where are all the guards? Looking over my shoulder I see the other wolves still fighting with the single other one and I'm tapped when the wolf in front of me walks closer, I have nothing to defend myself with or escape to. Taking another step back when one of the other wolves
Elena povIf I'm going to try his theory now is the best time! When the wolf in front of me takes another step I hit it with my claws and drag them hard down its jaw until it bleeds. It starts to trash and whimper in pain when it gets away from me, seeing the others looking at it when the wolf suddenly falls to the ground and doesn't move any longer. It doesn't even breathe more and I'm shocked, I killed it!I don't get more time to think about it when I get bitten on my shoulder hard and end up getting dragged to the side when another one comes to bite me in my other thigh!I'm trapped when they hold a hard grip on me, screaming out my pain while I try to reach the wolf who is holding my shoulder in a hard grip with my free hand. But I don't manage to reach anyone of them!Hearing a furious roar from a far distance I guess is Aziel but he is too far away to be able to do anything to help me when another wolf comes to stand over me. I'm almost about to black out from the pain when sud
Elena pov He holds me tight in his arms when he turns around, I hardly manage to hold my eyes open with how exhausted I feel. " take care of the bodies and make sure there are double guards on every post! I want information before dawn!" I hear Aziel order out before he starts to walk with me back through the forest. "if you give me a moment I can walk back myself!" I tell him and try to fight it and don't fall asleep. "That's not going to happen, hun! I'm not going to let you out of my arms tonight!" he says when I hear someone else walk up beside us. " just so you know I have called dibs on her claws if she ever breaks one! Man, she is deadly!" I hear Sam say before she starts laughing. "I don't want you to walk around naked with all these men around, can you shift and put some clothes on before you walk around!" I hear her mate say in a loud protest. "Nah! It's not my problem and if they like to look at my white ass then let them!" Sam says and even if I'm tired can't help b
Elena povFeeling his warm skin under my palm I nuzzle my nose in his chest and love his scent, could almost start licking him, I bet he would taste as good as he smells!Hearing him chuckle I open my eyes and turn my head to look at him."I'm yours! Do what you want!" he says and traces his hand down my cheek. His beautiful dark eyes look me all over my face when he grabs me and turns me on my back, his lips come down and peck mine."how do you feel today?" he asks and I'm perfectly fine, my arm feels all healed up."I'm just fine, nothing wrong with me today!" I say when he leans down to my shoulder and takes a large sniff at it."your scent is getting stronger!" he says and traces his nose up my neck when he places a kiss on my cheek."why is it getting stronger?"I have to ask when he lets me go and looking at his face I see his eyes glance over, it takes a moment before he turns his head and looks down at me again."you could be close to your shift! I have to get down to my office
Elena povI stop in my track when I hear them go silent and a pair of heavy steps walks over to the door when it's being opened and the man I have seen before look out the hallway."Elena come inside!" Aziel booms out and I wonder if he is angry at me because I might have heard something I shouldn't have.Looking at the man for a moment before I slowly start to make my way inside his office, seeing him sitting behind his desk he motioned for me to walk over to him.I start to make my way over to him when I hear the door being closed behind me. Reaching to where he is sitting he leans to the side and grabs my wrist before he pulls me closer to him and drags me down in his lap, he pulls me closer to him and takes his nose, and trails down my neck."Don't sneak up on me just walk inside the next time if you want something!" he says next to my ear and I just give him a nod in response. I feel his dominant aura wash over me when he takes a large sniff on my shoulder. Hearing the man clear
Elena pov Walking inside the kitchen I head over to the table and breakfast is all prepared and I only need a cup of coffee, heading over to the machine I take down a cup and place it in the machine before pressing the button. " do you need anything else?" the maid asks and I turn to look at her while I wait for my coffee to be done. "No, I've got everything I need!" I tell her when I hear my coffee is done and turn around to take my cup before walking over to the table and taking a seat. " then I will be upstairs again if you need me!" she says and I give her a nod while taking a sip of my coffee, I've got some time alone at the table and eat my breakfast before I hear some rustling and a door being shut closed with a bang. I stop drinking my coffee while I wait for something more to happen, thought it was strange! Minutes go by before I hear some voices and heavy steps moving toward the kitchen, it doesn't take too long before I see Aziel walking inside the kitchen alone, he has
Elena povI guess he feels my unease for him leaving me alone inside his house when he places his cup down on the table."Now I don't want you to stress about it! I'm not going to be far away from you and Sam will handle it!" he says and I sigh in response when there are some footsteps in the hallway and over to the kitchen, Sofia comes walking inside with some bags in her hands and places them down on the counter."here I've brought you some more clothes for Selena and wanted to have a chat with you Aziel!" she says and he turns around to look at her."we can take it in my office!" he says and I get up on my feet when he pulls me tight to him."take the bags upstairs and look them over, I will be up in a bit!" he says before they start to walk out of the kitchen. I get a feeling Sofia is stressed about something and I know everyone is on their toes with the event last night.Walking over to the counter I open a bag and look inside they are stuffed with new clothes and it looks nice,
Elena povI smile when I hear who it is and take determined steps when I walk out of the closet and to the room."Ah, there we have her! I have so many questions!" Sam says and takes fast steps over to where I am, she is butt naked and grabs my hand to look at it."what questions?" I ask her when she turns my hand and inspects it."How does it work? Are they only deadly when you are a wolf or what happens when you scratch someone with your usual nails? And why come they are longer than usual werewolves? Do you have any other hidden deadly stuff you can use? And I have called a dibs on your claw if you break one!" all questions come bubbling out of her at once, don't know which one I should start to answer when I hear Sofia chuckle at her."why don't you take some clothes on and she can start to answer them after!" Sofia says and I chuckle with her when Sam turns around and heads out of the room and into the hallway before she comes back with a bag in her hand with her clothes inside.
Elena pov Looking at our daughter in Aziel's arms I smile at the sight of her tiny body in his arms. She was just born and the nurse have cleaned her up and put her in some pink clothes I have no idea where they came from. "She is beautiful!" Aziel says and walks over to where I sit on the bed when he places her down in my arms. "Where do the pink clothes come from?" I ask him while looking at our sleeping daughter in my arms. "I bought them!" he says and I turn my head to look at him. Surprised he bought them before she was born. "You thought it was a girl as well?" I ask him in surprise when he gives me a big smile. "Or I bought two sets of everything!" he says and gives me a wink when I shake my head at him. "Don't tell me you did it!" I say and look at him, he doesn't have to say anything for me to already know that's exactly what he did! "Though it didn't matter since you want a big family we might get use for them anyway and if not I'm sure one of the others will get a b
Elena povRubbing my growing belly through the dress I have on I feel a kick in my ribs and have to bend forward when his hand comes to my back."How is it?" Aziel asks me and I place my hand on the desk and rise."Just a kick in my ribs!" I say and turn to look at him when he grabs me and lifts me up before he places me down on his desk. He takes a seat in his office chair and pulls it closer when he places his head against my stomach and his hand is on the other side."Now you have to be good and don't give your mother a hard time through the ceremony!" he says to my belly and I place my hand on his head."I don't think she cares whatever you tell her and once she is out we will have our hands full!" I say and smile at the thought when he lifts his head to look at me."Are you sure it's a girl?" he says and I only smile at him. We wanted it to be a surprise when the baby is born and the doctor where forbidden to say anything. I have known it for a long time it's a girl even if I hav
Elena povThere is no doubt in my mind he took out some aggression in the bed last night, I was prepared for him to come back and be angry at me but instead he ravished my body for hours until I was completely spent. I'm not complaining at all, he only turns me on more by being dominant and rough.Feeling a hand on my belly before his lips kiss it. Tingles play on my skin under his touch and I never want to leave the bed again."Good morning love!" he says when I open my eyes and turn my head to look at him. He is looking down at me from the side where he is laying and looking at me."Good morning!" I say and yawn, I'm tired from the lack of sleep, and most of all I want to roll over to the side and go back to sleep."How do you feel?" he says and I'm perfectly fine besides hungry. My stomach starts to rumble and speak for itself when Aziel chuckles at the sound it makes."We better get you some food!" he says and places his hand on my cheek before he leans down and pecks my lips."I
Elena povStanding in my place for a moment when I don't hear anything I start to slowly walk past the big table in the room and head for the doorway. Turning my head and looking down the hallway I hear a pair of footsteps and turn my head the other way when my eyes land on his.He stands in the hallway only dressed in a low hanging towel around his waist and looks at me for a long moment. My heart starts to beat faster at the sight of him when he starts to take long strides down the hallway to where I stand. He looks newly showered and his hair is still wet.His eyes are pitch black and the closer he gets I feel his dominant aura surrounding him. He doesn't take his eyes away from me and once he reaches over to where I stand with my back against the doorway he grabs my butt and halls me up in a swift motion.Wrapping my legs around him to steady myself he presses me back against the doorframe before he grips the back of my head and forces my head up. I don't get any chance to speak w
Elena povHe doesn't say anything for a long moment before he takes his hand away from my belly and pulls me closer to him. His lips come crashing against mine in a hard demanding kiss, I have to take a deep breath when he finally lets me go."I figured it out and that's why I came back! You should have told me instead of keeping it a secret, I wouldn't have left you! Why didn't you?" he says and doesn't let go of his hold on my head when he looks intensely at me.His other hand is placed on my waist in a firm grip and I know he won't release me until I give him an honest answer."I didn't want to tell you when we had an argument. I wanted you to be happy about it!" I say and look right into his eyes when he takes a long look at me before he answers."Why wouldn't I be happy about it? It's our child!" he says and I don't know what to answer him, my reasons feel stupid right now."I'm sorry!" I say when he wraps me up in his arms and holds me tight to him."Don't you ever keep a secret
Elena povWith all this anger in my body, I'm about to burst any second and I have to focus on trying to calm down.Turning my head to look at him his face is only inches away from mine."I won't give you that kind of satisfaction!" I spit at him when he starts to laugh and holds his grip tighter. His claws are almost cutting into my skin and I fear what will happen to me if he breaks it!It's my mother's venom that has changed him but if it gets into my body, will we survive?"Too bad you're not as strong as your mother! I will have a good time breaking your spirit and killing that bastard of yours!" he spits and that's the last push for me. He will not hurt my child!Taking a deep breath I let my wolf slightly forward and my claws slip out of my fingers, a golden shimmer coats my vision for a short second when I see him get a victorious smile on his face. Like he has won!Gathering all strength I got he grabs my hand when I try to scratch him down his face, but that was just a diver
Elena povI see the man I thought was my cousin look at me with a smirk on his lips when he pulls Aziels cousin to his side. It takes a moment before her eyes meet mine and I see guilt in her face.On her neck lies a new mark and I feel a bit bad for her to be mated to him, and at the same time her betrayal is fresh in my memory and we wouldn't have been in such trouble if it weren't for her.She averts her eyes and doesn't say anything when she looks to the side and I see a large new cut on her cheek and down her neck that has started to heel. Can only imagine who has given it to her since I know very well what he is like."Feel good about yourself right now with your mate by your side! once I get free you will not breathe much longer!" Sam spits at her when I see his cousin take a step back with her head hanging in defeat. She doesn't speak and I'm sure she has been beaten to silence by him."Let my friend go! She has nothing to do with this!" I say and hope they will release Sam wh
Elena povHis grip on my throat gets harder when I feel his face close to my ear. I try to mind link both Sam and Sofia but can't reach anyone of them and I instantly fear for their safety!"So you figured it out at last!" he says and starts to laugh a wicked laugh that sends a chill down my spine."Yes!" I say and wait for him to stop laughing. His scent is clear to me and for once I know he is a wolf, nothing I ever knew or saw any trace of when I lived under his roof. He never shifted near me and I had no idea how a wolf smelled!"But what I haven't figured out yet is your connection with the doctor!" I say and hope he will reveal the truth to me."Oh! You mean my sister!" he says next to my ear while holding his grip tighter around my neck. That's the next puzzle piece I needed."You know when she told me your mother was pregnant we started to plan the whole thing. But we didn't expect your mother to figure it out and hide you before we could get our hands on you! Well as you know
Elena povTurning around without a word I head right for my chambers, I hear them walk behind me. No one says a word until we have reached inside my chambers and closed the door."Now spill!" Sam says once we are inside and I'm not surprised she doesn't waste a second to know what's going on.I walk right over to the couch without answering and start to take out my mother's journals when they both walk over and take a seat on the couch."Aziel talked to me this night and agreed to start a family under one condition!" I say and open the first notebook and place it in front of me."What's the condition?" Sofia asks and I turn to look at her."If I get pregnant I will have to be by his side every second of the day and he will have more guards around me! Even have Sam following me inside the bathroom!" I say when Sam bursts out."Hell no! I'm not following you inside the bathroom, I'm not interested in seeing you do your business" She shakes her head and has her hands up in surrender. I w
