Elena povTurning to look at her when she flashes me a smile and heads over to the coffee machine." You know where they are going?" I ask her when she starts to take two cups down from the shelf and place them in the machine, it's early in the morning and the maid hasn't started to work yet." no he couldn't tell me but it can't be too hard to find out where they have gone!" she says and presses the bottom on the machine, the cups are done quickly when we take them and head over to the dining table and takes a seat."I only know Tobias went there a few days ago and he hasn't been in touch with anyone of them, they are taking the flight to get there faster but that's all I know!" she says and I already knew Tobias was missing.Hearing the front door being opened and Sofia comes walking inside the kitchen with a bag, she looks worn out and she got dark circles under her eyes."I brought some freshly baked bread for breakfast!" she says and places them down on the counter before she tur
Elena povI try to take control of my emotions but my anger only gets worse when I can smell the maid's scent all over the room taking away Aziels."Elena you have to control it and get those claws inside! I'm getting the maid out of here!" I hear Sam say while I have locked my eyes on the maid and can't help the growl that leaves my lips, she looks at me terrified when she slowly starts to walk out of the room. Trying to control my anger I close my eyes and breath in deeply while I hear them walk closer to the door before they are outside and the door is shut."That's good Elena you have to control it and keep your feelings down! Your wolf is getting you into heat already and we have to make something about it!" I hear Sam say when I open my eyes and look at her, she is standing close to the door and keeps a distance from me. I try to calm down when I feel some heat course through my body!"it's not supposed to happen yet and we have to figure out a way when he isn't here! Your wolf
Elena povI have to breathe through it before I feel my vision goes back to normal again."you said what exactly?" I hear Sam say and turn my head to look at her when she is looking between me and Ada."You're her daughter!" I hear Ada say in shock when I look back at her and I don't get what she is saying when she takes several steps over to me, her hand comes to my cheek when he holds my face and looks at me with tears in her eyes."I didn't believe the rumors we heard but seeing you here I know they were true! If only my husband were still alive he would be over the moon you exist!" she says and I see a tear run down her cheek, I'm not getting a thing of what she is saying."What are you talking about?" I say when I find my words."come let's have a talk!" she says and walks over to the table beside the counter and we all take a seat while she heads over to get us a couple cups of coffee. Sofia gets up and helps her carry them over when Ada takes a seat in front of me and hands me
Elena pov Looking at Sam when Sofia walks closer to where we are and place her folder on the box and takes out a map. "look at this!" she says when I take my eyes off Sam for a moment and look at the map, there is a map of what looks like the kingdom and one over the palace. They are copies and the whole folder is filled with several maps. "my husband used to work at the palace as a guard, he told me there were secret paths and ways around the kingdom if you needed to flee. I believe those are the maps and secret ways you could take!" Ada says when I take a map and look closer at it, before placing it down in the folder again. "did my brother die with my parents or do you know what happened?" I ask her and hope she has some answers. " if I remember it correctly they found your parent's car burned out with the remains of your parent's but I have no idea what happened to your half-brother, your father had a wife before your mother and the son is from that marriage!" Ada says and th
Elena pov Sam just walks over to the office door and pushes it wide open before she carelessly walks right inside, I have to say she isn't afraid of getting into trouble and I'm certain his father won't appreciate her bursting inside like she has every right. Following her inside I have Sofia right behind me when I hear his father start booming out what she is doing inside the office when his eyes land on me end he becomes silent and looks between us all. "what are you doing here?" he says and turns to look at me when Sam walks right over to stand in front of his desk and his men take steps to the side. " I bet you already know why we are here and you better tell us what's going on! We won't leave this office until you have told us what we want to know!" Sam says and places her hands on her hips when I walk over and take a stand beside her. I see his father look between us before he motion for his men to get out of the room and they all leave except for two guards by the door. "
Elena povLooking at Sofia when she lies on the ground in pain my heart aches for her."Isn't there anything we can do?" I ask and look at Sam when she shakes her head."let's just hope he can fight whatever is happening and survive or we will lose both of them!" she says and I feel how anger starts to rise in my body, we wouldn't be here and none of this would have happened if they had talked to me first!Instead, they have kept all this a secret from me and I have no say in what's happening, they don't even know if I want to claim the land!I have to breathe through my anger but it doesn't help, my wolf peak up in my head now when the heat is slowly subsiding. She refuses to speak to me after what happened yesterday but she is just as angry as I am for Aziel for keeping this from us and go out on a rescue mission, only to get caught and who knows what kind of trouble he has put himself in!"what are you doing about all this? Where is Aziel!" I yell out to his father and at this poin
Elena povComing out to the others in the hallway I walk past them and head over to the elevator, hearing them walk after me I wait for the elevator to arrive.Sam starts to laugh when the doors close after we and the elevator start to go down."Didn't think you had it in you but damn I like this new you!" Sam says when we are alone and I chuckle at her, I would never have this much confidence but since I got my wolf something changed.Reaching the bottom floor we head out the entrance and over to the car, Sofia looks a bit pale when we have reached the car and she opened it up and holds her hand out with the keys."here! Someone else has to drive, I don't feel too well and if it happens again I don't want to lose control of the car and get us all hurt!" She says and I look at her."Well, I can't drive! Never have been behind the wheels of a car!" I tell them when Sam grabs the keys and opens the door for Sofia."That we will change today! You have to learn how to drive if we get in a
Elena povWe have been driving for more than an hour already and I have been looking at the map to try and find a shortcut.Sofia fell asleep in the back seat once we had been driving a bit. I kept looking at the rear mirror from time to time and was prepared for us to be followed but I haven't seen anyone following us and I find it a bit odd that his father would just let us leave."We need to find somewhere to get some gas!" Sam says and I take a look at the map to try and find a place on the way for us to stop. Finding the closest village I hope there is somewhere we can fill up the car before we run out of it."we will drive by a village in about a mile, we can try and see if there is somewhere we can stop to get some fuel!" I say and fold the map again and lay it beside me."I got one of Aziels cards and hopefully it's loaded with money!" Sam says and I get puzzled why she would have his card."Why do you have one?" I ask her and turn to look her way."he gave it to me when they
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
