ELENA’S POV
Spending the day at the mall with grace was a lot more therapeutic than I had expected it to be. With Lukas gone, it was evident that I wasn’t the only one who was relieved by his absence. I was very happy that he was finally gone and that I no longer had to deal with all the problems that he continually brought into my life. Grace was also a little more relaxed and although she wouldn’t say it out loud I knew that she was also relieved that Lukas was gone. Grace was as afraid of Lukas as everyone else was and that was because she wasn’t excluded from the abuse and the terrorism that he subjected all of us to.After our day at the mall, we headed back to the mansion where I knew that Mike was probably panicking and thinking that I had overpowered Grace and made a run for it. If only he knew that I now had a lot more reasons to stay here than I initially had, I wouldn’t run away even if I wanted to because that would mean that I would have to leave DamieDAMIEN’S POVEver since I found out that Charles knew about my secret with Elena, I had been on edge because I wasn’t sure if I could trust him and I couldn’t believe that we had been so reckless. Everything about this situation was reckless because we were doing something that could get both of us killed. I didn’t mind dying for Elena, but I realized that she was very afraid of what Lukas was capable of. She had seen him at his worst and seen what he was like when he didn’t get his way. However, I also couldn’t help wondering who else knew about this, since Charles knew and I wasn’t even sure if telling Elena that he knew was a good idea. I was so worried and scared that someone else had picked on this and when I looked around at every omega around me it felt like they were all talking about it. I was suddenly talking around the mansion with the feeling that someone somewhere was watching me and just waiting for Lukas to come back so that they could tell them. The fact that Charles
DAMIEN’S POVThe day I had been dreading was finally here and I was now changed to go and work elsewhere. This wasn’t something that I had been looking forward to because I didn’t want to start the process of getting to know someone else all over again. Charles and Bran hadn’t been hard to work with and they had been very nice to me but I was nervous about the next person I was going to be working with. I couldn’t understand why they couldn’t just pick one thing for me to do instead of changing me like that every time. However, it wasn't like I could voice my complaints to anyone because no one cared about how I felt. I was just brought here as a slave and I guess Lukas’ subjects had learned from the best how to mistreat others. Everyone here was just glad to have someone to help them with whatever chores that they had and I had even overheard some of them asking Mike when I would be assigned to them. It was as if everyone wanted a piece of me and I wasn’t flattered by that.One thing
ELENA’S POVI was in my room when Grace came in bursting through the door as she did these days. She acted like this was a room that we shared and she wasn’t showing me the respect that she used to show me when Lukas was here. She had been coming to check on me regularly since I went into heat and though I wasn’t in any serious pain yet, Grace simply refused to let me be on my own. I had concluded that she must have been either very afraid of Lukas, or she just cared for me too much and the thought of anything happening to me was just too much for her to bear. Of course, I didn't believe that she cared a great deal for me. Grace was probably just concerned about saving her own skin because she knew that Lukas would freak out if anything happened to me. Any other woman would be flattered and happy about getting so much attention from a man l like Lukas but the fact that he wasn't my mate, meant that everything he did, no matter how nice it may have seemed to anyone else was annoying to
DAMIEN’S POVEveryone wanted to know what had happened to me and why I had fainted while in Lukas’ office. The truth was that I also wanted to know why I had fainted. I tried remembering what had happened to me while I was there and I couldn’t even think of anything that could have made me act in that way. The only thing I could hope for was that this incident hadn't raised any alarms and that Lukas wouldn’t be angry with me once he returned from his trip. I was still at the pack clinic and the doctor was trying to figure out what could be wrong with me. I had told him that this could have been caused by some side effect from the accident that I had had a few months before and he seemed to be intrigued by this. I was also careful not to tell him that I wasn’t originally from Alpha Jack’s pack because I figured he would probably share that with Lukas and cause a whole lot of problems after that. However, I did tell him that I had lost my memory from the accident and that I still didn’t
ELENA’S POV I was still in a little bit of shock by what Damien had told me, I couldn’t help wondering what connection he could have had with Lukas. Even though Damien didn’t say it in many words, I knew that a part of him thought that he was from this pack. I just didn’t believe that he was, I didn’t think it was possible. I also wondered who he was, what if he was the lost prince that had supposedly died in the accident? Damien was the one who told me what Charles had told him about Lukas and how he got to be alpha and I wondered if the accident that Lukas had been in was the same accident that was reported to have killed the prince according to Charles. Nothing about this made sense and I felt that my theory was the only one that did make sense, however, Damien wasn’t ready to accept that without any supporting evidence. I had received so much information from Damien last night and just when I thought that I had had enough, Grace came with a wide smile and claimed that she had go
DAMIEN’S POVI couldn’t help feeling like getting back into Lukas’ office was urgent. Somehow, I just knew that that office had all the answers to my questions. I may not have been ready for whatever was waiting for me on the other side of that door, but I figured it was better than not knowing who I was or what connection I had to Lukas besides Elena. I had always believed that everything that happened, whether good or bad, always had an effect on my future and that every bad thing could always be turned around to work for the good. This was how I was feeling about the fact that Lukas had taken Elena by force. Maybe I would never have met her if she had never come here with him. If alpha Jake hadn't been in a fight with Lukas, I might never have been able to come to this pack house, so in the end, everything worked to my advantage. Another thing that I wanted to use to my advantage was the fact that Lukas wasn’t there. I wanted to use this last night that I had in his office as an op
LUKAS’ POVThe fact that my trip hadn’t been the way I wanted it and expected it to go was the main reason why I couldn’t wait to get back home to Elena. I had been in a bad mood the entire week and that was all because I was missing Elena, I had no one else to blame for my failure to perform in my meetings because all I could think about was Elena and what she could have possibly been doing back home. I found myself obsessing over what she was doing and whether or not she was missing me the way I was missing her. Even though I knew no one in my pack would dare double cross me by trying their luck on her, u still couldn’t help worrying that she might have been spending her time with some other male. And that was the reason why Grace had the task that I had given her, and I expected her to do as I told her to do.Grace had been under strict instructions to keep a very close eye on her and I expected feedback from her as soon as I got back home.I couldn’t even sleep at night because I
LUKAS’ POVI could tell by the look that grace was giving me that whatever she was about to tell me was big news. I was nervous. Not a lot of things made me nervous, but Grace always did and this time it had nothing to do with the decisions that she had made for herself or a man that she had been with, but it had everything to do with me. This was about my life and quite possibly the future of this pack. I tried to convince myself that whatever she told me couldn’t be that bad and that if it was, I was just going to take it like a man and not allow it to bring me down. I couldn’t allow Grace to bring me down. As a matter of fact, I doubted she had anything to tell me at all. That’s right, she was probably nervous because she had nothing to tell me and this was yet another task that she had failed. I took a deep breath and gulped down the 5th glass of rum that I had poured for myself. What if Elena was preparing to leave me? I wondered and I realized that I was torturing myself by goin
