ELEANOR’S POV. I drifted my eyes apart with all the strength I could summon. I was weak, very weak. Tired too. My cloth was still wet but not as terrible as before, plus the rain had disappeared back into the sky now.It was painful. I hated the fact that I was still breathing. I thought that the rain would end me. But it didn’t.My stomach let out sounds, rumbling loudly to pass across the message of its hunger. I was so hungry that I could eat a whole being.I looked around to see if there was anything I could munch on, but nothing was in sight. All I could see were tress of different heights, shapes and sizes. Branches hanging beautifully on them.I couldn’t eat leaves, if not, I would have given it a trial.I didn’t want to see another night but now that I have, I had no choice but to try and survive it.The moon was starting to go in, leaving barely enough light for me to find my way around. I barely knew what direction to head to, or what lurked outside there. Not like I care
CRUZ’S POV.Was it weird? Was it weird that despite my palms running over her smooth skin, and the low moans escaping her lips, or should it be the side view of her breasts, nothing happened?I mean my cock didn’t even make an attempt at getting hard. It was like it was angry with me for what I didn’t do.All I could still think about was El.Just one look at her would have gotten me hard. Now I felt like she must have bewitched me. It had to be that, because it would explain a lot.I thought hard of what to do next. The move to make next. I knew I needed to do something, anything at all to shove El aside. To ruin in the world that El had created in my head.Breeching the whole massage agreement, I cupped up her chin instead, taking in her lips and felt her turn around well in order to be comfortable. I squeezed my eyes shut hard, trying to picture Lily naked, hoping that would do the trick.The kiss felt so plain. No spark. No feelings. No tension in the atmosphere. Nothing at all.
ELEANOR’S POV I dragged in more shaky breathe as I squeezed my wet eyes shut causing my tears to stop for a while. Although my lips wouldn’t stop quivering as my heart bleed more and more but I couldn’t stop thinking about the same wolf that landed me here. I wanted to hate him. I wanted to despise him but I couldn’t. I couldn’t stop blaming my stupid heart because a part of me still held on to the fact that I loved him. Even to my point of death, he was still all I thought of.El!His voice echoed in my head.Pictures of him smiling at me portrayed clearly in my head. How he wouldn’t stop looking at me like I was all that mattered didn’t elude me. Or was it how he couldn’t get his cock off me as though he couldn’t get enough of me. Could it be the way he always made me scream his name?There were a lot of things we did together. Way too many memories we shared and the thought of how he had managed to lie to me all these while broke my heart continuously.I knew for a fact that gett
ELEANOR’S POV My head banged severely but I push past the pain as I forced myself to drift my heavy eyes apart only for them to be attacked by the brightness of wherever I was and it caused me to shut them in a jiffy as I tried to wrap my head against where I was.Memories of everything carefully replayed itself in my fragile mind and I could remember that I had passed out in front of a stranger. A stranger that could be of harm.The realization of this had me forcing my eyes apart as I bit on my lower lip till everything stabilized and it ached no more.I could see and tell that I was in an unfamiliar room, one that smelt of leaves and medicines and something else I couldn’t really place a finger on.Carefully, I made an attempt to sit up and probably escape the room before he would get back because deep down I feared what he might do to me. I knew there was a high chance he was going to be a kidnapper or maybe a butcher. There were a lot of reasons as to why he could have decided
ELEANOR’S POV I blinked hard as I tried to make sense of what she just said. My brain finding it hard to fully digest her words. There was obviously no other she-wolf here except from myself and her.Unless she was the pregnant one.“Pregnant?” The strange man behind me questioned while I stood there in shock as my legs froze.“Yes.” She responded as she closed in the space between us. She was now directly facing me and I could see her clearly. I could count the wrinkled lines she had on her face and there were a clear sign of aging. There were proves that she had seen things and heard things and also gone through things. “You shouldn’t be up from the bed yet. You need to heal fully.” She said, hints of worry etched on her face.She was dressed in a Brown straight gown that stopped on her ankles and had enough space to accommodate myself and her. While her white hair was packed up in a ponytail that looked like it hasn’t be touched for days.I felt her fingers wrap around my wrist an
CRUZ'S POVMy hands had stopped working a long time ago and now I just stared blankly at the notepad…the empty page.She was filling my mind again, filling my thoughts and living rent-free in my head. Every time I blinked my eyes, images of her would play at the back of my head, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes twinkled when she smiled, how her lips wobbled when she cried, the feel of her body against mine, how her skin felt beneath the tip of my fingertips. I groaned, clenching my hands into a fist. It has started again, this was how I've been living ever since she left. No day ever passed by without me thinking of her. I sighed, my hands dropped the pen and I rubbed my palm all over my face. Memories of our last days together played in my head like a video, I remember the day she had confessed her love to me, it had opened my eyes to a lot of things but majorly to how badly I was treating her. Using her to replace Lily, toying with her feelings and emotions…it was low,
CRUZ’S POV I began to picture Eleanor’s fingers trailing down my body as my hand played with my cock and the cold water ran down my body and gradually it began to get hard and harder. While my image went to her sucking on me and it caused me to groan hard.But it did nothing. I could picture her sucking me all day and still be unable to reach the peak of it all. It just felt different, it felt so different.I pulled my eyes apart to stare at my erected cock then headed out of the restroom only to see Lily sitting on the table already, her legs widely spread apart to reveal her neatly shaved wet pussy.I watched her eyes trail from my face to my cock.“I missed the taste of your cock.” She mouthed as a smile curled up her lips. I forced on a smile too because I knew that none of these she-wolves deserved what I did to them. None of them and that only made me feel like a monster but regardless I knew I had to walk up to her now and make things right between us again. I had to forget a
AUTHOR’S POV Lily knew there was something off about Cruz and she could tell by how distant he had been of late especially ever since she came but she refused to let that get to her regardless because she believed that he would always be hers and only needed time to process everything. Her coming back and all.So she provided him with a better offer and that was sex since it was said to connect two lovers together. But the outcome of it had been more scarier than she thought. Every-time it crossed her mind that she almost died in the hands of the male she loved, a different kind of chill would run down her spine.It had been hours since they last saw and he also made no attempt to come to the room so she could tell that he was beating himself up over it again just like he always did whenever things refused to go his way. She went in search for him but couldn’t find him in his study room and she was starting to get worried when she crossed Martins who directed her to where he was but
AUTHOR’S POVEleanor held her baby cot as she watched the little Ivy sleep so soundly. A bright smile curled up her lips. Her once-heavy heart becomes lighter with time. Her eyes darted from Ivy towards where Nimah and Dante were playing.It had been weeks since they got to the palace. Two days since their wedding. Since they walked down the aisle and exchanged beautiful vows, since she and Cruz had decided to adopt Dante During the visit to the Farms, Eleanor had stumbled on him looking sad and dirty. After minutes of persuading him, he finally confessed that JoJo, his little sister, had died.The news had made Eleanor’s heart clench tight because she knew how lonely it would feel for him. She immediately took it upon herself to tell Cruz, and he was more than excited to have another child.She rolled the beautiful ring on her finger, and a smile parted her lips. She loved him so much. She was glad that they ended up together after everything.“How is my little princess doing?” She he
ELEANOR’S POVA chilly air brushed past me, causing the hair on my body to stand at alert. My breath hitched in my throat, and my heart started to pound so loud as I watched Damon get closer.Who would have thought that he was the bad guy? “Don’t do anything stupid, Damon, please.” I pleaded, my voice quivering while my eyes stayed glued on the glittering knife he held.“Too late, El. Why use just her when I use you both? When can I finally get to rule the world?” He responded, a smirk curling up his lips.“Let her be, Damon. If you are truly a man, then face me!” Cruz dared, his pitch high as he struggled to set himself free.Damon let out a dry laugh.“A god, Cruz. That is what I will become.” He said pridefully.My eyes stung with tears, and I gently tilted my head sideways to look at the Wolf I had learned to love. My eyes trailed over his facial features, his sharp jaw, and the beauty that lay in his eyes.I knew it was the end. It's too bad that our story would have to end this
AUTHOR’S POV“Who are you?” Eleanor yelled as fear crawled through her, her fingers clutching tightly onto Cruz’s cloth while his arms were wrapped around her.She could feel her heart thumping fast.The strange man let out a long, satisfying laugh.“If it isn't the so-called Dema. How does it feel to be here, Eleanor? Especially after knowing that you can never make it out alive.” He mocked with a slight smile on his face.Cruz couldn't believe his eyes. He refused to comprehend why Eleanor’s neighbors would want to do anything to her.“What the fuck do you want, Fred?” He questioned in an obviously pissed tone.Fred twitched his lips gently.“Soon you shall know. For now, keep walking until I tell you to stop.” He ordered, causing Cruz to clench his teeth.“And if I don't?” He confronted him because, obviously, he couldn't afford to put Eleanor in more danger. At this point, he was more than willing to fight tooth and nail to get out of here.Fred dragged in the air, then chuckled m
AUTHOR’S POVHe went still. His breath hitched in his throat as he stared at her. It felt as though he had just heard the most absurd words ever existing.“How?” He questioned, a little bit scared to mention the word again because he was aware of what the dangers of being one were.Eleanor inflicted gentle pain on her fingers as she thought of the best way to explain because she, too, had no idea.“Talk to me, El!” He ordered, his voice shaking a little.The tears stinging her eyes started to let themselves roll down her cheeks. He curbed her chin up to stare at her confused expression, his other fingers running through his hair.“Fuck!” He cussed because he knew she could get killed if they knew. He was willing to lose the same person he just got back.Her sobs heightened.“I’m sorry, Cruz. I should have told you earlier. I just thought you might…despise me.” She confessed, her heart squeezing hard at each word.The pain spread through her like fire at the thought of losing him beca
AUTHOR’S POVHe could tell her shock by how her face fell. Her hands trembling and it caused him to smirk.“You don’t have to be sorry. I knew he made the first move.” He said, wanting to clear the air and her conscience.Eleanor attempted to say something and that would require spitting him out.“Shh! Say nothing. Just stay still like the obedient little doll you are.” He ordered and El nodded firmly. “That’s my good girl.” He added and started to move in and out. His butt clenching tightly as he did.“Fuck, El. Fuck!” He cussed, his hand holding her head in place while he continued to fuck her mouth faster and deeper.Eleanor’s eyes stung with tears, the pain in my throat getting worse and just like a maniac’s doll, she liked it, every single part of it caused her woman to drool some more.His waist rotating as he went while her fingernails dug into her thighs in order to spread more pain through her. The higher the pain, the better the sex.That she believed.“Fuck you, El.” He cu
ELEANOR’S POV“Sit slowly.” I heard him say and I nodded, bending low as his hands guided me. In the last few hours, the only thing I had done was nod. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything because for a weird reason, I felt shy. Not uncomfortable.My body, up to my breasts, hit the warm water and I felt my nerves relax.“Let me know when you feel uncomfortable, okay?” He said and I nodded briefly. I couldn’t tell what he was doing but soon the smell of Lavender filled my nostrils before his palms came in contact with my body again as he scrubbed it gently. It felt so good to have someone wash me up. Ever since I lost my sight, I had refused to let anyone bathe for me. I always instead of doing that myself and most times it was an uncomfortable thing.His palms found my neck and massaged them briefly, causing a low moan to escape through my pass. My body was at alert. On edge after all these while.My mind drifted briefly to Damon and the look he had on when I stepped out of his
CRUZ’S POV It happened. Finally I found her. Maybe not in the exact same condition but I was still more than pleased to have her back. Scars are what make us beautiful, after all. Plus I was willing and ready to do anything for her to get her sight back.I kept tilting my head and checking her out every minute, just to remind myself that it wasn’t a dream. I could feel my heart swelling with joy and pride.I had a daughter. I mean, we had a beautiful baby girl.Finally I was a Father.Now that I thought about it, I doubted if I was ever going to enough for a Father figure. Ivy was sleeping peacefully in the back while I rode the car with gentleness, not wanting to wake her up. While Eleanor stared ahead into nothingness and it caused my heart to ache.The charmingly bright smile she used to have, was no longer there.“You good, baby?” I broke the silence and watched her nod gently.I wanted to push it further but I don’t. We just met again after some many months so it was normal for
ELEANOR’S POV“Are you sure you are making the right choice?” Damon asked for the thirtieth time in the last hour and now I was no longer sure if I was.“Do you think I’m not?” I threw at him, wanting to know what his own opinion would be.“He abandoned you, El. He can do that anytime and you know that.” He pointed out while I stared at the darkness.Let me be your eyes, El.Cruz’s words replayed in my mind.“What if he is sorry? Sober? Anything?” I said, trying to defend him or was it myself?I needed badly to prove to myself that I wasn’t just some broken female who lacked fatherly love and badly craved it enough to settle for anything.“What if he is not?” Damon attacked and I could sense the worry in his voice, laced with disappointment. “You can’t just run back into his arms, El. Not after all these while.” He added causing me to nod as I bit on my lower lip again.“I can. I want to do this, Dam, please.” I responded and heard him sigh frustratedly before his steps get closer.“I
AUTHOR’S POV“I’m leaving with Cruz.” Eleanor announced the second, Cruz helped her down the stairs, causing Damon to look her way abruptly.“Huh!” He exclaimed, his jaw falling lower than usual out of shock. “I’m leaving with him.” She said again even though deep down a part of her warned her of how this could be a wrong idea.Damon refused to believe all he heard. In fact it had taken him more seconds than usual to process them and soon he was standing in front of her.“I would love to talk to her alone so please step aside.” Damon informed as he sent Cruz a death stare.“Fine then, I will be over there.” Cruz informed and ran his palm over Eleanor’s hair before leaning in. “Call me when you need me.” He whispered and watched her nod gently.Cruz took one last glance at the male who had tried taking his bride and threw him a smirk before walking away. His chest almost exploding with joy.She was back. She was going home with him and now his home would be home again.“You can’t just
