ELENA’S POV
Even 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 downDAMIEN'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
DAMIEN’S POVI woke up feeling very happy, I was happy because not only had I found my mate but I had also been able to spend some proper time with her for the first time since we met. I couldn’t even believe that we were walking around and acting like we were having a forbidden affair. I loved Elena and I couldn’t imagine my life without her now that I had found her, I didn’t remember anything about my life still and I didn’t know if I had any family out there but for now Elena was the only family I had and I had every intention of fighting from her. I knew that Lukas wouldn’t just have her over to me, he was obsessed with her and would probably kill me and her rather than give her over to me.I hadn't seen the ugly side of Lukas that I had heard so many people talk about, I mean I knew that he wasn’t a good alpha but I hadn't seen the ugly side of him and I didn’t want to just yet. I wanted to study him so that I knew how I would approach him when the time to tak
ELENA’S POVSpending 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 Damie
DAMIEN’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
DAMIEN’S POV“It hurts …” Elena cried out as I tried to keep her calm.She had been in pain for a while now and I was beginning to wonder if thus was the way it was supposed to be. A part of me felt like she was going to die because I had never seen anyone in as much pain as she was in right now. I didn’t even know how to help her or where to touch her. I was too afraid that if i touched her in the wrong place I would hurt her even more “Where is the fucking doctor?” She shouted at me almost damaging my eardrum.“HE is on his way” I said as I helped her lay down again while sending another mind link to the doctor. I couldn’t understand what was taking him so long. He responded to my mind link and told me that he was on his way.After a few minutes he was in our bedroom checking Elena’s pulse. “is she going to be okay? Is this supposed to be happening? Is she supposed to be in his much pain?” I interrogated him but he ignored me“doctor, is the baby okay? Will they both be oka
ELENA’S POV I couldn’t believe that I was actually here and in my mother’s arms. I had missed being held by this woman more than I cared to admit. I missed hearing her voice and being calmed down by her. I had even forgotten that she was once the centre of my world, I had forgotten that she was once a god in my eyes. I couldn’t even believe that I had allowed Lukas to make me hate my own m0ther, but now that I was here I wanted to make up for all the time that we had lost while we were away from each other. Despite being in my mother’s arms, I still couldn’t help noticing that there was someone missing her there. It was my father. I wondered if he didn’t want to see me after all, had I come all this way only to be rejected by him again?” He is inside and I promise you he has the same fears that you have” my mother said and I smiled nervously.“alpha Damien, thank you so much for reuniting us with our daughter. We never thought that we would see her again but life is full surprises.”
DAMIEN’S POVI really hoped that seeing her little sister would make Elena reconsider her feelings for her parents. She needed to forgive them not only for her sake but also for the pups that we were going to have in the future. It was as if I only existed to make this woman happy because the look on her face when she laid her eyes on her sister was enough to get me smiling all throughout the day. When Tasha and Elena were done with their meeting, I asked Charles to take Tasha back home because I wanted to go and hear from Elena how their meeting had gone. I already knew how the meeting had gone because I could hear them laughing as Elena walked her little sister out of the bedroom. Even without seeing her, I already knew that she was very happy.I was glad that seeing her little sister made Elena realise that she needed her family as much as they needed her. I had no family and I wished I had one. I didn’t want her to wait until it was too late before she made amends. Admittedly, her
DAMIEN’S POV I was happy to finally be able to take Elena home with me. We had been apart for too long and it was also time for me to help ease her pain. She had already been through a lot and I just wanted her to get a break. I missed sewing her all happy and I missed seeing her smiling. Ever since Lukas had found out what was happening between me and Elena, things hadn't been smooth for us. First he had kicked me out of the pack and soon after that he ran away with Elena. However, that was now all after under the bridge and everything in order now, well everything except Elana’s health.I had chosen to move me and Elena to a different room because I decided she wouldn’t want to stay in the same room that she shared with Lukas. I didn’t even want to imagine the kind of memories she had in there but I didn’t want her to relive anything. I wanted the old bedroom to be turned into my new office and I wanted Elena’s bedroom to be joined with another room so that we could make it into ou
ELENA’S POVI had passed out sometime in the car as we made our way back to the pack. I felt like I could rest easy knowing that I was now back in the arms that I was supposed to be in. I still felt bad for the way things had ended with Lukas but there was nothing that I could do to handle that situation. I still felt that he had changed and that he regretted his actions but it seemed that I was the only one who believed that. I was saddened by the way Damien had turned into a monster just get get revenge on Lukas, but at the same time, I could understand his pain and who was to say that if he hadn't killed Lukas he wouldn’t come after me after I was well. I had to be honest with myself and the truth was that I knew that I would never have felt safe if I knew that Lukas was out there roaming free. I would have lived my life looking over my shoulder and afraid that he would come after me.When I woke up I was in the back clinic and although I was still in pain from the heat, I felt a l
DAMIEN’S POVNow that Lukas was dead, Elena and I could finally move on with our lives in peace. We left his body lying there in his yard and figured that some stray animal would get rid of it for us. I decided to believe Mike when he said that he hadn't told Lukas that we were coming but at the same time I made a mental note to keep a very close eye on him. Mike was not to be trusted and there was no way that I was going to give him a position that was going to make him close to me. I wanted to keep him as far away from me as possible for the sake of my peace of mind.As we made our way back to the mansion, Charles was the one that took over the well because I wanted to sit at the back with Elena. She looked horrible and instead of the sweet scent that I could recognise her by, she smelled like death was hovering above her. Even if she was in heat, how the hell was I going to help her and where the fuck was I even going to start? Lukas had really fucked things up for us and I wished
LUKAS’S POVI was struggling to understand why Mike had done this and why he had betrayed me in the way that he had. Had I ever done anything to him that made him think angry? Had I ever treated him unfairly? I couldn’t think of anything that I had ever done to him that could ever justify all that he had done to me. I had treated him like a brother that I had never had, but I guess he never appreciated that. Here was Mike, a guy that I had treated like my second in command standing over me with Damiena and Charles, the men that wanted me dead. I could understand why Charles hated me, especially after what happened to his father, but how could Mike do that?Charles and Damien kept interrupting my conversation with someone I had considered a brother for such a long time I chose to ignore them. I wanted Mike to answer me before I died so that I would die knowing exactly why he had chosen to betray me like this.“why Mike?” I asked him again.“I didn’t have a choice, Lukas” he finally sai
DAMIEN’S POVAlthough I was very happy that we had finally arrived where Lukas was keeping Elena, I was very disturbed when I saw him walking out with her in his arms. My wolf immediately went crazy and I clenched the gun that I was holding. Why the hell was he carrying her and what had he done to her? The fact that he was carrying her drove me crazy, but when my eyes met with hers I realised that something was seriously wrong with her. I couldn’t help feeling like she was trying to communicate something with me but just couldn’t figure out what it was. She kept looking at me and then at Lukas. At some point, whenever looked at Lukas it seemed that he said something to her and I wished I was a fly so that I could hear what, he was telling her. He had better not have been threatening her because there was no way that he was going to escape this today. This had been something that was long time coming0 and he now had to face the consequences of the decisions that he had made. I hoped t
ELENA’S POVI was slowly fading and when I opened my eyes I met Lukas' own eyes filled with sorrow. He seemed to have been crying and even though I was the one knocking very loudly on death's door, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. I wanted to tell him that he didn’t have to do this, but I was too weak to even open my mouth. For a minute I couldn’t remember what was happening and I couldn’t even recognise where I was. It was upon seeing Lukas's face that I remembered that he had kidnapped me yet again after finding out that Damien was my mate. When was this ever going to end?“Water...” I whispered and he gently touched my lips and then got up and got a glass of water with a straw. I didn’t realise how weak I was until I tried getting up to take the glass of water.“You are weak” he said as he got closer to my lips with the glass of water. I took a sip and then rested on the pillow. Lukas stared at me before he finally started speaking.“I am so sorry for putting you through this
