LUKAS’ POV
Elena had been feeling sick for a couple of days now. This had been happening ever since she took the herbal tea that the oracle had given us and I assumed this meant that it was working. She was still acting very weird to me and didn’t want me to touch her. I actually thought that she was pregnant. As a matter of fact, I was convinced that she was pregnant. Why else would she be acting the way that she was acting if it wasn’t because she was being hormonal due to her pregnancy? I had heard that females changed a lot when they were pregnant and they often took out their anger on their partners and I figured that was what was happening with Elena.Even her scent had changed a little bit and this caused me to further believe that she was indeed pregnant for me. However, I didn’t want to count my chickens before they hatched and that was the reason why I was going to wait until the doctor confirmed that she indeed was pregnant. In the meantime, IDAMIEN’S POVI was feeling horrible, I felt like a child who had been given a toy as a gift and then had it taken away from him. I hadn't seen Elena in a few days and I couldn’t understand why she was avoiding me. I was still working in the garden with Charles and, thankfully, he hadn't noticed that I was always jumpy. The reason why I was convinced that Elena was avoiding me was that she knew that I was here and yet, despite knowing that I was here and waiting for her, she still didn’t come to see me. I wondered if Lukas realized that she had found her mate and decided to imprison her and I also wanted to ask Charles if he had seen her or if he had heard anything, but I was afraid that he would know that there was something between us.I could only hope that he would be the one to bring it up and, unfortunately for me, Charles just didn’t seem interested in Lukas and his family. Charles loved working in the garden and most conversations that I had with h
ELENA’S POVI hadn't been able to see my mate for the past couple of days and the sad thing was that I didn’t even know his name. I couldn’t ask anyone about him because I didn’t want anyone to ask me why I was suddenly so interested in him after I had expressed that I didn’t want him to be near me. It was very funny that I had been telling Grace that I wanted the guy who was coming from Alpha Jack’s mansion to be kept away from me because I was afraid that he was just like his mate, only for the guy in question to turn out to be my mate. Grace was going to know that something was up the moment I told her that I wanted to know more about the very person that I had expressed my fear of, and it wasn’t like I could just ask Lukas about him. I also hadn't seen Lukas in a while and I assumed that was because he was still very angry with me for the mark. I didn’t care because I didn’t miss him. I was also angry with him for hitting me, but then again I was angry at Lukas for
DAMIEN’S POVFor a moment I could have sworn that I had a hearing problem because I couldn’t believe what Elena was telling me. How was she Luka’s luna when she wasn’t even his mate? I was her mate. Was it the power that Lukas offered her that she had gone after? I honestly couldn’t understand how and why she ended up here in this place with Lukas.“What do you mean you are the Luna?” I asked her “how are you his Luna if you are my mate?” I asked.“ He mated himself to me okay,” she said.“ As far as I know, wolves don’t choose their own mate and if it does happen, then you have to be in agreement with him,” I said.“Well, I wasn't and he left me no choice,” she said, but it was like I wasn’t even hearing what she was saying because my brain was working hard to make sense of everything and in the process, I was coming up with my own explanations of what was happening here.“ You always have a choice.
ELENA’S POVEven though Damien had seemed like he understood the explanation I gave to him concerning my relationship with Lukas, I was afraid that he didn’t understand it the way I wanted him to. I kept feeling like I hadn’t adequately explained myself. I wished that he could have stayed a little longer but I also knew that if he had stayed longer we would have gotten caught. I understood how he felt and I knew that I would feel the same way if I was him, but I couldn’t just be selfish in the same way that my parents had chosen to be. Tara didn’t deserve that, she was the only one I considered to be innocent in all of this and that was because when I ran away from Lukas she had tried to speak sense into my parents’ heads. She was the one person that was on my side and if I left Lukas she was probably the first person that he was going to kill, I couldn’t betray her like that.After Damien left my room, I decided to take a bath to try to calm myself down
DAMIEN'S POVAll I could think about was the conversation that I had with Elena, I could see that she was genuinely afraid of Lukas, and the fact that she wasn’t sure of what he would do if she ran away seemed to scare her even more. I could understand why she was afraid, the man had already told her that he would kill everyone she loved if she dared to betray him and this was not a risk that she was willing to take. As upset as I was that she was choosing to stay with him and make me her side piece, I also had to kind of put myself in her shoes and try to understand why staying here was so important to her, I may not have agreed with her decision to stay here but I knew I had to understand if I had any hope of having a future with her. I might not have had any memory of my own family but I knew that I wouldn’t be comfortable with making a decision if that decision was going to affect them. I didn't want to be selfish and force her to come with me but at the same time,
ELENA’S POVEven if it was just for a few days, I was so happy that I was finally free of Lukas. The fact that I wouldn’t have him breathing down my neck and knocking on my door for a few days was enough for me to celebrate. I felt like I could finally breathe without fearing what he could be planning, I knew this would be short-lived and that was the reason why I decided that I would enjoy it while it lasted. I wanted it to last me a lifetime but I knew that I had a few more hurdles to jump over before I got my forever.Another thing that made me happy about Lukas not being here was the fact that Damien could visit me and even stay longer with me. I loved spending time with him and I felt like he was one part of me that was uncorrupted. I love the way he looked at me, Lukas may have claimed to love me but he didn’t look at me the way Damien did. I didn’t need the moon goddess to tell me that he genuinely loves me. I loved the way he made me feel whenever
DAMIEN’S POVI decided to walk away from Elena because I felt like what we were doing was wrong and that was very funny because there was nothing wrong with what I was doing. There was nothing wrong with me wanting to spend some time with my mate, there was nothing wrong with me even wanting to be intimate with her. She belonged to me and I to her and nothing that anyone did could change that. As I walked further and further away from her room I stopped and asked myself what the hell I was doing, why was I walking away from my own mate? Why was I feeling like there was something wrong with being intimate with her? If she had been with someone else other than Lukas would I so easily walk away from her? I felt like by walking away I was giving victory to Lukas and indirectly saying that I wasn't man enough. I couldn’t allow Lukas to win, Elena was mine and I had to fight for her and besides, Lukas wasn’t even here to stop me from being with her. I stormed back to her roo
LANA’S POVI had never experienced anything like that, it was as if I was a virgin all over again and I was experiencing making love for the very first time. Of course, this was my first time making long because all along I had been fucked by Lukas and the feelings that came with that couldn’t be compared to what II had just felt after making love to Damien. He had taken his time with me and it was as if he cared about how I felt, he cared if I enjoyed what he was doing to me and he wasn’t just doing it to please himself. It was the first time since I had had my virginity broken that I had been touched like that and made to feel like that.This was a feeling that Lukas could never give to me no matter how hard he tried, and I believed that he knew that. He knew that there was something that he could never give me, a feeling that I could never feel as long as I was with him. This was the reason why he went to such great lengths to make sure that he took me before I
