“Well, well” She sneered, standing a few feet away. “The little rogue playing warrior now?”

I said nothing, keeping my gaze focused on the ground, my hands trembling.

“No matter the trailing you'd take omega, you don’t stand a chance against me” She hissed. “You’re nothing. Nothing but a worthless rogue. But don’t worry—I’ll put you in your place.”

Before I could react, she lunged at me, her fist connecting with my lip, sending a sharp burst of pain through my body. I staggered backward, tasting blood.

Shit! She's crazy!

Before I could react, she lunged at me, her fist connecting with my lip, sending a sharp burst of pain through my body. I staggered backward, tasting blood.

Just as I braced for the final blow, a familiar voice thundered across the training grounds.

"Enough!"

Oliver's eyes burned with fury as he stormed toward us, his presence sending a wave of unease across the warriors nearby. They all stilled, watching him approach with fear.

Hailey froze in place, her hand still raised as if preparing to strike me again. She quickly dropped it, her face paling as she realized Oliver had seen everything.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Oliver growled, his gaze locked on her.

Hailey’s lips trembled as she stammered for an excuse. “I-I thought she was trying to…’” She stuttered trying to place in some words. “I was just…”

“You think I’m blind?” Oliver cut her off, his voice dangerously low. He stepped closer, his towering form casting a shadow over her. “You know how much I hate being lied to, Hailey.”

Hailey’s eyes widened, and she quickly dropped her gaze to the ground. “I’m sorry, Alpha” She whispered. “I didn’t mean…”

“Get out of my sight” He groaned, cutting her off coldly.

Without another word, Hailey scurried off, her face flushed with embarrassment. 

I could feel the other warriors’ eyes on me, their disdain heavy in the air, but none of them dared to approach. Oliver remained in front of me, his expression hard, unreadable.

“Are you hurt?” he asked, his voice softer now, though I could still feel that commanding edge.

I nodded slightly. “I’ll be fine” I muttered, though the pain was still fresh.

He stared at me for a moment longer, then sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. “This isn’t going to be easy for you” He said, his tone almost resigned. “But if you want to stay, you’ll have to learn to defend yourself. I won’t always be there to stop them.”

I swallowed hard, my throat tight. “I didn’t ask for any of this” I whispered.

He glanced at me. “You didn’t,” he agreed quietly. “But you’re here now. And that means you’ll have to play by our rules.”

I wasn’t sure if that was supposed to comfort me or make me more afraid.

His hands slowly moved to my lips, sending me jolting out of my thought and then he cleaned off the blood, drawling down my lip with his thumb.

I swallowed hard, staring at his actions. He locked his gaze on me and slowly licked the blood off his thumb, with his tongue. I swallowed hard staring at how sexy he looked doing that.

All of a suddenly, I felt a rush of wind, my heart racing faster than necessary, my legs weakling, as if I'd wobble and fall to the floor anytime.

Oliver's face suddenly crippled into a frown, his eyes darkening as he stepped backwards, away from me.

Just then I felt a silver lining shoot up in the sky. His lips parted open and the words that left his lips left me frozen. “Mate" 

My lips parted to say something but nothing came out. Oliver suddenly spun, turning his back to me, then said “Go clean yourself up immediately” I nodded even though I couldn't see him and walked off. 

I wandered toward my room, lost in a whirlwind of thoughts. Everything felt surreal. Could this really be happening? A second chance mate? I wasn’t sure whether to be relieved or terrified.

Once inside, I made my way to the bathroom and quickly turned on the shower, hoping the hot water would calm my racing heart. It didn’t. No matter how long I stood there, letting the warmth cascade over me, I couldn’t shake the dread that clung to me. The water only washed over the surface—it couldn't reach the storm brewing inside.

I wrapped myself in a towel and sat on the edge of the bed, my mind swirling with everything that had been revealed. A second chance mate—something I never thought I’d have. It felt like the universe was offering me an opportunity to rewrite the painful chapters of my life. But Oliver… Oliver was…

 I let out a deep sigh. Would he reject me like Liam had? That thought sent a shiver down my spine, fear creeping into my chest. I tried to push it away, unwilling to let the pain of the past consume me again.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps approaching snapped me out of my thoughts. Before I could fully register it, the door swung open with a sharp bang. Oliver stood in the doorway, his eyes stormy, his presence overwhelming. The air in the room shifted, heavy with tension.

His gaze fell on me, and I instinctively tightened my grip on the towel, feeling a sudden vulnerability under his intense stare. His aura—so commanding, so intimidating—made my heart race for reasons I didn’t fully understand.

"Do you have a family?" His voice was sharp, cutting through the silence.

I blinked, caught off guard by the question. It wasn’t what I expected. "No," I said softly, my voice barely a whisper. "I don’t remember."

“Parents, relatives, uncles, auntd, guardians?" He listed, panting. My eyes shifted to his shirtless chest and i swallowed hard, he was making it hard to concentrate.

“I don't have any" I slowly took my gaze to the floor.

For a moment, there was silence. Then, his face twisted with something cold, almost disdainful. He growled loudly and banged his hand hard against the desk, just next to my bed "You don’t remember?" He scoffed, the scorn in his tone unmistakable. "What do you even have to offer? A rogue with no pack, no family, no lineage worth mentioning."

His words hit me hard, each syllable driving deeper into my chest. The way he looked at me, like I was nothing—worthless—made my stomach churn. I bit down hard on my lip, fighting to keep the tears at bay. I wouldn’t let him see how much his words hurt. Not again.

"I should reject you." His voice was cold, distant and I felt my heart shatter. He took a step closer, his eyes burning with clear fury. "You’re nothing but trouble. A burden I don’t need."

Another rejection. The thought of it sent waves of pain through me, but I braced myself for it, preparing for the inevitable. Just like before. But then, something flickered in his eyes. But as quickly as it had appeared, it was gone. His expression hardened, the brief moment of softness replaced with cold resolve.

 He stepped closer again, his presence consuming every inch of space between us. His scent filled my senses—a mix of pine and musk that made it impossible to think straight.

"Stay away from me." His voice was low, dangerous. Without waiting for a response, he turned on his heel and stormed out, the door slamming shut behind him.

For a moment, I stood there, frozen, his scent still lingering in the air. But then the weight of it all crashed down on me, and my legs gave way. I sank to the floor, my chest heaving as silent tears finally spilled over. I pressed my palms to my face, trying to stifle the sobs that threatened to break free, but it

was no use. The pain, the rejection—it was all too much. 

What was I supposed to do now?

    Elena’s povAnother rejection! Again! I lay down on my bed, tears filled eyes. I felt like the moon's goodness had abandoned me. No wolf, family, friends, or even a single memory of my life before. I felt like trash, no scratch that, I am trash.Rejected by Liam and now Oliver. I guess I broke a record, the only wolf who was rejected twice in werewolf history. I tried to console myself but I ended up wetting my pillow as I cried myself to sleep. *******I woke up with my head banging hard. I held my head trying to stabilize myself and check where I was. I looked around and I figured out I was in my room, still without clothes. I looked at the pillow that had been stained with tears and the memories of the rejection flooded back.I picked myself up and got dressed, it was almost dark out and I needed to keep myself distracted. I walked out of my room, my head hung down, avoiding eye contact, and just when I thought I was invisible, I collided with a girl and a tray of drinks poured al

    Elena’s povI roamed the forest without a destination and nowhere to go. I did not wish to go back to the pack. I thought I finally felt something and felt loved but it was another pack that treated me like trash and an alpha who rejected me, again.I did not know how much of this emotional pain I could take. Just then I heard some voices and I quickly hid behind a tree. A few seconds later two guards passed by and from their conversation they were heading to the border.“I'm close to the border?” I asked myself, surprised at how long and how far I had walked. Just then an idea came to me.“I can leave! No one would miss me or look for me and I can escape the harsh judgment from the pack and Oliver”I braced myself and decided to escape from the pack. I walked silently towards the border trying not to draw attention and I would try to jump the wall of the pack and I would be free.I was near the border and I could see the wall. I lay low, trying to avoid being caught. There were a lot

    Elena’s pov Oliver was on his way to the camp and if I don't get out of here right now, I would have to face him and I was not ready after the rejection. This was not how I had planned this, I was supposed to move away from him and not be delivered to him on a platter of gold.I looked around for something I could use to break the handcuff and set myself free but every movement was met with unbearable pain.“I can't stay here, I have to bear the pain” I said as I tugged at the cuff, which made cuts on my skin. “Fuck, I need to get out of here.” I got up, ignoring all the pain. “I wish this chain could be like cookies and I could break through it,” and just then a bright light appeared, it was so bright that I had to shield my eyes. Few minutes later the light dimmed, leaving me stunned.“What was that?” I asked myself, looking confused. I shook my head and tried to concentrate on the task at hand, and immediately I pulled the cuff, it came crumbling down like pieces of crumbs.“The…

    Elena’s POVI felt the surge of panic deep in my bones as I ran, each breath ragged and shallow. My body ached in ways I couldn’t even describe, but the adrenaline rushing through me wouldn’t allow me to stop. I limped forward, pushing through the branches and overgrown shrubs as fast as I could. Oliver was chasing me—I could feel him getting closer, the bond between us pulsing like a magnet pulling us together. I was already weakened by the silver cuffs and the pain in my broken bones. I didn’t stand a chance if he caught me, not with his strength and speed.But I had to try. I had to get away.The sun had fully dipped below the horizon now, leaving only the faint glow of the rising moon to guide my way. The thick forest was filled with unfamiliar sounds—the rustling of leaves, the calls of nocturnal creatures—but nothing was louder than the pounding of my heart in my ears.“Please,” I whispered to the darkness, stumbling forward, “just let me get away…”Suddenly, my foot caught on a

    Elena's POVI ran until my legs couldn't carry me anymore. The forest seemed endless, and I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. Finally, I collapsed onto a rocky surface, getting little injuries and gasping for breath.Oliver's words echoed in my mind: "You're mine, Elena.” I was confused and surprised. I shuddered at the memory. How could he say that after rejecting me? What changed? It wasn't up to a few hours ago when he told me that I couldn't be his mate and here he his claiming me. As the darkness closed in around me, I realized I had to keep moving. The rival pack could still be out there. With newfound determination, I pushed myself up and continued, my senses on high alert.Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the distance. Hope flickered to life within me. As I drew closer, I saw a small cabin nestled among the trees. Smoke drifted lazily from the chimney.My body ached from all sides, I staggered to the cabin. My strength was depleted, my mouth dried up, and my body ach

    Elena’s POVI woke up feeling a bit stronger but still weak. My fever had broken, but my body ached like I had run for days without rest. The mysterious old woman, Ana, entered the room again with a bowl of hot soup.“You need to eat,” she said firmly, handing me the bowl.I hesitated. “Who are you, really? And why are you helping me?”Ana sat down beside the bed, her eyes studying me. “I’ve lived in this forest for many years, child. The pack wars have affected us all, even those of us who don’t get involved. I help where I can, and I can sense when someone is in need. As for who I am…let’s just say I’ve been around long enough to see many stories like yours.”Her words puzzled me, but I was too tired to press for answers. I took a sip of the soup, the warmth soothing my throat. “You talk like you know more about me than you’re letting on.”Ana’s expression softened. “I know a lot, Elena. You’re not just an ordinary wolf. But for now, you need to rest and regain your strength. When y

And why are you on my land?”Ana walked to a chair, taking a seat, “Young warlord, who I am is not necessary but who are you and why is your fate tied to hers?” Oliver looked at me, then back to Ana “So…..why is my fate tied to hers?” He asked with a tone of sarcasm. “That’s not for me to say but know that she is someone who you would need by your side,” Ana told Oliver, he stood up in anger and glared at Ana.“Elena, you have two minutes to say your goodbye, meet me outside, and let’s go or else I will come in and drag you back,” Oliver said and stormed off from the house.I exhaled, knowing that I had to go back, I turned to face Ana, she had a smile on her face and I instantly felt bad.

I grumbled at the disturbance, “What do you want?” I asked as I used the pillow to cover my face."Elena, you haven't eaten in over 24 hours. You need to eat something," he said softly.I turned my face away, not wanting to look at him. "Leave me alone, Oliver."He sighed and walked closer to me. "Elena, please. You're weakening yourself. Just eat something."I felt his hand touch my shoulder, and I flinched. "Don't touch me."Oliver's hand dropped, and he set the tray down on my bedside table. "Fine. But know that I'm not giving up on us. We need to talk about what happened.""There's nothing to talk about," I mumbled.Oliver's eyes narrowed. "There's everything to talk about. You ran away, Elena. You were injured and alone for weeks. Do you have any idea how worried I was?"I glared at him. "You were worried? You? After what you d

I would be fine on my own but will you be fine by yourself?” I asked, worried that Chole had gotten into his head.“Hmm…Ya. It would take a lot of time but I would be fine.” his tone was firm but the look in his eyes said otherwise.“That would be great!” I pulled him tight for a hug and he reciprocated, “Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any problems okay?” We pulled out of the hug, he had a smirk on his face, “with pleasure, My Queen.”I giggled, “Good night Lucas…”“Good night Elena.”I turned and made my way up the stairs that led me to my room which was apparently opposite Oliver’s room. The guards at the entrance of the wing saw me and I could see a flash of fear in their eyes as they greeted me.

I turned to the direction of the sound “Who’s there?” I called out but no answer.I turned to Lucas who was still in shock about the news. “Wait here!” I whispered to him and began to move in the direction of the noise. I heard footsteps backing away slowly. When I got to where the sound came from no one was there but I saw shadows of two feminine structures sneaking away.“Elena!” I said to myself, “Let the games begin.”I turned back to Lucas, “We can't talk here but if you want to know everything about your father, then meet me in my room by midnight and make sure no one follows you.”He was silent for a while, “why should I believe anything you have to say?”“Because I have proof of your real identity and I am sure you don't want to miss that.” I shrugged as I turned away to leave.“Remember, midnight!” I said into the air, leaving my words to linger as I left.This is the time to strike, mum and Dad would be comi

It is almost time for me to hear them out and give out punishment for staging a resistance to my ruling.The door to my office burst open and Chloe walked in, her demeanor not as friendly as usual.“What do you want….I am busy.” I tried to push her out. Since she had been the main suspect of the last attack with the rouges, I had kept her at arm's length.“I know you’ve been avoiding me!” She blurted out, making me pause. I look up at her, my face straight, “have I?” She rolled her eyes, “That's your cup of tea…Oliver. I am here because I heard you are planning on removing some elders from the council. After all, they were about to speak against you getting married to that.……” She didn't finish the sentence I growled as a warning to her.“Chloe, how I run my kingdom is none of your business.

What changed?” I asked She gave a quick smile, “Nothing….” she then turned to Lucas, “Can I see you privately?”Lucas looked at me, then back to her, “Hmmm, sure!” “Good…” she smiled and walked away.“Hmmm, Elena, Excuse me for a minute.”I nodded, “be careful…..”“I will…..”Lucas walked out of the training ground with Chloe, while I watched in fear. Chloe can not be trusted and I don't know how I would be able to keep calm while Lucas go ahead with Chloe.“Hey…..” someone tapped me, making me jolt.I turned to see beauty, surprised at my reaction, “Beauty, you scared me….”“Sorry….are you alright?” she asked.“Hopefully…..”She began to look around, “Where is Lucas, thought he was with you?““He was…..but now he is with Chole!““Chole!” She yelled “Shhhh

Yesterday had not been the most perfect but it did end in cuddling the love of my life. Oliver and I never had time to ourselves. He is always up and about, trying to keep things in the pack.I love his dedication but I won’t lie I want him all to myself at times. So instead of getting up to go get ready for today’s training, I snuggled into his embrace.“Hmmmmm…… that’s a good girl.” I heard him speak, his morning voice doing something to me.I giggled, “Sorry, I woke you up.”“You didn’t…” he said and placed a kiss on my hair.“Good morning….how was your night.” I asked, looking up to meet his eyes.“Hmmm….with you, Perfect!” He smirked at me, making me blush, “what’s your plan for today, my love.”“Nothing much…..Just training with Lucas and Beauty.” “Ah, I see……be careful okay.” He said to meI nodded softly, as I snuggled into his hard chest, “What a

It was rare for us to have peaceful moments like this.But the moment was short-lived.Flashes of my nightmare hit me again—the darkness, the whispers, the feeling of being watched. A shiver ran down my spine. It had felt so real, too real.Oliver stirred behind me. His hand instinctively tightened around my waist.“Bambi?” His voice was husky from sleep.I hesitated. “It’s nothing. Just… a bad dream.”His arm flexed, pulling me closer until I was pressed against his bare chest. “Do you want to talk about it?”I bit my lip. Should I tell him? The way the dream had twisted reality—whispered threats in the shadows, my own reflection changing in the mirror, my wolf howling in pain. But… what if it was just my mind playing tricks on me?“No,” I said finally. “It’s nothing important.”He exhaled s

I also contacted the Black Hallow pack and the Alpha said he knew nothing of it and would conduct his investigation.Though Daniel and Elena had doubts about my sister, there was nothing I could do but wait for some piece of evidence to show up on a platter of gold.“Your Highness!” I turned to see Lucas behind me, his head bowed.“At ease…..Is there a problem?” I asked.“No….I came to inform you that the council would be holding a meeting.” He said “A meeting? I wasn’t told about any meeting.” A scowl settled on my face.“It is a secret meeting and from the looks of things, they want to kick against the idea of getting married to….Elena….sorry the Luna.” Lucas informed me.“I see………Get me the place and time for the meeting, I guess we are in for a long surprise. It’s time to give out some punishments.”“Yes, Alpha.” He saluted and turned to carry out the order.“Daniel….” I called and h

Even though the traitor was yet to be found—-at least the pack had peace. The door to the library was pushed open and Beauty walked in and she had a smirk on her face. “What got you smiling?” I asked dropping the book in my hand and picking up the glass of juice beside me. “Nothing….Luna.” She said and my face fell, she noticed my change in mood instantly, “Is something wrong?” I shook my head, “No… it’s nothing, just, that title should be given to the true Luna….not me.” “I agree…..” A voice came through, beauty, and I turned to see Hailey standing in the library. I did not notice her enter but my face had a scowl in it. “My lady.” Beauty greeted me as per custom but I knew that she didn’t want to. “What are you doing here, Hailey?” I asked her. “I would watch my tone when you talk to me.

    Elena’s POVThe next morning, I woke to a soft warmth on my cheek. My eyes fluttered open, and I found Oliver sitting beside me, his hand gently caressing my face. His touch was tender, as if he feared I might vanish.“Morning, my Luna,” he said softly, his voice a soothing melody to my troubled mind.I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. The weight of yesterday’s emotions still lingered, but his presence calmed the storm within me. “Morning,” I replied, my voice laced with sleep.Oliver handed me a cup of tea, his usual routine when he stayed the night. It was one of the little things he did that made me feel like I belonged in his world, even though I still doubted it at times.“I have a meeting with the council today,” he informed me as I sipped the warm brew. “They’re pressing for answers about the traitor and the attacks. I need you to be cautious, Elena. If the mole gets desperate, they might act rashly.”I nodded, understanding the gravity of his words. “I’ll be careful. But Oliver
