Eloise’s POV:“Do you really have to go?” Kiara’s innocent face looked up at me, perhaps waiting for a negative answer. Not wanting to disappoint her, I sighed and shook my head.“Yes, sweetie. I have to go.” I saw how disappointment crossed her features, making my heart twist and tie in knots deep inside me.I really don’t want to leave them. They are my world. Leaving without them would mean leaving my life behind. I sighed, deeply.“Nora will be here with you. We will video call,” I said, hoping that would cheer her up. She blinked her doe eyes up at me, and it seemed to work because she is smiling.“Promise?” she held out her pinky, making me smile. I extended my own and locked it with hers. “Promise.”I gave her one last hug before pulling away.“Take care of your brothers,” Leaning down, I kissed her cheek. Once I was finished with her room, I walked into the boys’. They are both still asleep.Kael had his sleeping mask on, as usual. He laid straight as a pencil on his bed.
Eloise’s POV:I could feel how my breath hitched in my throat. Slowly, I turned around. The relief in my face was visible when I saw the beta instead of the one person I was desperate to avoid.“Fuck me…” he cursed under his breath as he stepped closer. His eyes looked me up and down, “You’re back!” He said as if he’s still in disbelief.Taking a deep breath, I turned to face him.“Yes, I am. I’m not here for reunions. The council sent me.” I informed him, since none of them seems aware of the memo. How could their alpha be this negligent? “Forgive me. Let them through,” he nodded to the guards who immediately got to their feet and opened the gates.“Thank you.” I slid back into the car. I could see the wolves through the rearview mirror, speaking amongst themselves, staring after our car while the beta followed us closely behind.It took another five minutes before we reached their pack house. It was huge, even bigger than ours. That was to be expected, however, as their pack is th
Kaden’s POV:Alyssa wasted no time and spread her legs wide open for me. When I glanced down, I did not expect to see her completely bare. Her exposed pussy staring right at me in the face. Something in the air made my cock spring to life, and I immediately assumed it was her arousal as she was sopping wet down under. Besides, her arousal smelt divine!It’s the first time my dick came alive after all these years… Still, I was hesitant to give in. “Mnh,” she moaned into my mouth as our kiss deepened. My cock is rock hard in my pants, and Alyssa was obviously pleased to see my erection as she reached down to unzip me. A deep growl rumbled through my chest as I grabbed her wrist, making her whimper.“Rictus,” I scolded my wolf, but he paid me no mind. He did not like Alyssa ever coming near us. In the first place, he never like her at all.I could already feel my wolf growling loud within me. Furious that I would touch my beta’s mate. Alyssa wrapped her arms around me instead, pulling
Eloise's POV:I kept my eyes trained on the road as I drove aimlessly all the way back where I came from. I should have remembered the way to the city, but my mind is fucked up with stirring emotions that makes absolutely no sense to me.How is it possible that he is still able to hurt me after all these years? I have only seen him kissing the girl while his large, veiny hands explored every inch of her body. Her dress was too short to even leave anything to the imagination.I cannot help but turn around. I figured I needed to get away from him as soon as possible. It wasn't safe for me. Not with the scent of their arousal laced together jn that tight space he calls an office. The more I mull over it, the more frustrated I become. I floored the gas, going past the normal speed per kilometer and wishing I could get away from the territory faster. I promised Abbie I will be back, so it doesn't matter where I go. I just needed some place to cleanse my eyes. My brows furrowed, however,
Kaden’s POV:“Alpha?” I cocked my brows, not sure if I heard her right. Did she just say she’s an Alpha?I was taken aback by her murderous glare as she locked eyes with me. I cannot help but let my gaze study her features, down to her very last curve.God, she’s beautiful.“Yes, is there a problem with that?” she hissed, baring her canines at me. If it was anyone else, I would have taken it as a challenge. I cleared my throat, taking a step forward.“No, of course not.” I held my hands up in defense, not daring to look away from her gorgeous eyes, or not daring to.She has the most gorgeous eyes that she’d be mistaken a goddess for.“I have so many questions.” I say, not knowing where to start. I started my day this morning not expecting my long-lost mate whom I’ve searched every nook and cranny of every goddess damn territory to magically appear at my doorstep.“Well clearly, this is not a good time…” she uttered, looking away. I did not take my eyes off her. Her side profile was
Eloise’s POV:The relief I felt after he let me go was immense. I have been driving for twenty minutes straight. No sign of him following my car which makes my anxieties slowly slip away.Finally, I exhaled a deep breath. What stresses me out more was that I had rolled down all the windows, but his scent still remained. Cocoa butter and mint chocolate. Much to my annoyance, it invaded my senses, and I rolled down the windows thinking the wind might just blow it away. Instead, it blew his scent right towards me. I groan.Somehow, I can’t seem to get rid of it.Suddenly., the sound of her voice echoing through me has me snapping out of my thoughts. ‘Adeline?’ I call out to her. I know what I heard. It was her. My wolf. She’s… alive?Five years ago, she disappeared. No matter what I did, she either refused to show or stayed silent. At one point, I thought she was dead.‘Eloise.’ My mouth dropped when she responded.‘Where are we?’ she asked, her voice coming out husky. It was as if she
Eloise’s POV:I made it past the borders. I chuckle to myself, recalling the faces of the three idiots I practically left dumbfounded at the border. Putting my car in reverse, I park it just in front of the pack house. I turn the engine off and step out of the car. Looking up at the pack house, I squeezed my brows together. It was smaller than I remember. However, it looked much better. The exterior was repainted and remodeled to make a more modern design. Some parts were replaced with glass, and others bricks complemented with ivy leaves hanging along the edges. I can even say it looked beautiful. I grew up in this place. I was used to playing and making friends with everyone in this pack house, and I was spoiled rotten especially by my father. I used to play in his office and sit on his big leather chair, and he would always tell me everything will be mine when I turn eighteen. I smiled bitterly.Funny how that turned out.“You! How dare you come back here!” A sultry voice sudde
Kaden’s POV:“I’m on my way, how the fuck did you let this happen?” I snap into the link at him, one of my trusted border men allocated in Heaven Moon Pack. I had just taken my seat back in the office, staring at the memo sent to me by the werewolf council, when the link was forced open. When that happens, usually it would be when someone is alerting me of an emergency. And this is the kind of emergency that I never expected to happen.“A woman…” his shaky voice was getting to my nerves. “Spit it!” I snarl, and he whimpers at the pressure of my voice alone. Bloody idiots.“Sh-she claimed to be an alpha, and we didn’t know…” His voice faded into silence. At this point, my patience is waning.“Just stay at your post. Don’t let anyone enter unless I say so,” I growl and cut off the link.Scanning the werewolf council memo for the last time, I furrow my brows and my jaw clenched. I stare down at the name in print before me.‘Eloise Sage Rivers, Alpha of the Night Warriors Pack, is hereo
Eloise's POV:"Beta Colton," the brown wolf tilted his head in submission as soon as he shifted into his human form.The gray wolf whose eyes had been filled with lust lowered his head as he turned to face a fuming Colton stomping over towards us. His nostrils flared and fists clenched into balls by his sides."What do you think you're doing?" He questioned the gray wolf as he stopped before him.The wolf's fur stood abruptly in fright, its body trembled despite his large size."W-We thought they were trespassers, Sir," he stuttered, I heard only because we shared a mindlink.Beta Colton growled, allowing some of his livid aura onto the scared wolf."I will deal with you later." He growled lowly before he turned his gaze back to me."Luna?"I turned my back to him, showing him Abbie's weakened body that hugged my back.The moment his eyes landed on her, his eyes widened and he rushed over, shoving the two wolves aggressively aside in the process."What happened to her?" He spat in the
Eloise’s POV:Home. I had to go home.If it’s true… then I’ll have to see it for myself.My wolf’s paws landed on the ground after I shifted, my back elongating as fur sprouted all over my skin, my full face morphing to Adeline’s true form.I didn’t need to tell her what to do. She knew my thoughts as much as I knew hers. And back there, we had the exact same thought.This couldn’t be just a coincidence. I told myself, feeling Adeline’s silent nod in agreement.Adeline kicked her legs, paws thudding against leaves and branches scattered along the ground. Our clothes tucked between her sharp canines. We made sure we wouldn’t end up naked when we arrive home.“We’re getting close. Hang tight.” Adeline said, making me tuck into myself closer knowing full well the meaning behind those words.She was going to run at full speed. Adeline may not be the largest wolf out there, but she sure run fast.Over time, our strength improved, too.And I hoped that would be enough to face what lurked be
Eloise’s POV:His jaw ticked, and I saw his hands clench into fists at his sides. He should have expected this. He knew. He was going to take them away the moment we are found, and I would have lost the only thing that was keeping me alive, away from the brink of insanity I would have fallen deeply into a long time ago.I glared up at him, not backing down.He won’t take my kids away from me, I assured myself as my chest was beginning to rise and fall in rapid motion. They’re safe. Out and away from this wretched city where all the devils reside.The only thing keeping me from giving in to my anxiety was the fact that they are safe.Thick, heavy silence fell in the air between us. It was almost suffocating.“I want to meet them,” he said after a moment, voice low but demanding. I could feel his aura circling me as if he was prepared to shove me with it.My teeth gritted as I glared up at him.“No.” I said fiercely in a dismissive tone.My decision was final.He is not going to take th
Eloise’s POV:I pursed my lips thinly, meeting his glare but when I saw the sheer determination and even pain in his eyes, I eventually gave in.I sighed, “Kaeron, Kai, and Kiara,”He raised a brow.“All started with K?”I smirked, “Don’t get me wrong, I just had them all prepared,”Kaden pulled his lips into frown, going silent for a few moments before he let out a sigh of his own.“Can I at least see a picture?”His question knocked me off of my breath. It can’t be helped. Adeline muttered. She’s like the conscience whispering to me every time I had to make a choice. I groan.What if he sees them, and he wants to take them away? I shudder at the thought as I stare up at the man who I saw as nothing more than the sperm donor of my pups. I let him ruin my life once. I won’t let him do it again when he takes them away from me.He wouldn’t. Not under my f*cking watch. Adeline hissed. Her determination is brewing quietly like a storm in the distance, I could feel it. Adeline is much mor
Eloise’s POV:I couldn’t even begin to visualize what my wolf thrust into my headspace.I never saw it. Not even after the one time he knocked me up. I was drunk!My legs shook dramatically, threatening to give out from under me. I must admit, the only thing holding me in place was Kaden, pressing me up against the lockers.His large, calloused hand went back to clench my thigh. His touch wasn’t rough but firm, and enough to send electrifying sparks all over my body while continuing to rub circles around my sensitive cl*t.I was panting, breathless. The only sound that could be heard in the locker room was my pants as well as his rugged breaths, husky and so damn attractive.My arousal still tinged the air and I scrunched up my nose. The scent remained and I feared it would stay here up until a week. Wolves’ senses are incredibly strong, but not without a downside. All the males will probably be smelling my arousal for a period and they can even tell who the scent came from.So what?
Eloise's POV:CL? Who the hell is CL? My wolf growled, racking my brain for any clues behind the initials.I stared at the note blankly for a few seconds.Shaking my head, I stripped off my bra and leggings, and rummaged for fresh clothes with the note still in my hand before the sound of the door unlocking had me straighten as I thrust the note into my locker.Kaden Kyson walked in with a dark look looming over his face, his eyes scanning the room before falling on me and my near-naked body. His dark eyes took in my undressed state, and I grit my teeth as I shoot glares at him.I had no choice but to wrap my arm around nipples, preventing Kaden to notice how they became hard in less than a minute when he stepped into the locker room. I shifted in my barefeet.He likes what he sees… Adeline giggled at the back of my mind, making me shush her and roll my eyes.“If you haven’t heard, training is over.” I declared, shooting daggers at him.He clenched his jaw as he walked over to me, ign
Eloise’s POV:No.No, no, no, no.I’m not going to ask for his help.Why not? My wolf grumbled.He’s our only chance.I shook my head.There is another way. You know what Dad said. If he finds out Mom turned into a vampire because I told him about this, he’ll kill her. Hell, maybe he’ll even conspire with the other alphas to kill us all, for protecting a vampire.I could feel Adeline’s hesitance, but thankfully she didn’t add anything more to it and retreated back into the depth of my subconscious.I groan, willing my heart to stop thundering like crazy in my chest.Anyone, anyone but him. Kaden Kyson is known for his mercilessness and power unmatched by anyone. Surely, he would not spare a turned vampire. Not even if she’s the mother of his mate.I tossed and turned all night, unable to forget everything that transpired from the black and blue bruises I saw on Dad’s arms and the mysterious guys who sauntered into the house like it’s their own.My father didn’t look like he was about
Eloise’s POV:“Run! Don’t stop, don’t look back, run!”Dad’s voice boomed in my head just as I clamped my eyes shut, anticipating the closet doors to be yanked open when I felt cold breeze rustle through my hair instead.When I open my eyes, I blink. Once, twice, until I finally came to a conclusion that what I am seeing is real.I stood frozen at the forest just outside of my father’s house, my heart thumping harder than I remember as it threatened to explode in my chest.Panting, I look around and back at the house as questions filled the back of my mind.What the h*ll just happened there?And how did I even get out of the house before I could bat an eye?I don’t understand…It seems we were teleported here. Adeline finally spoke, however the words she just said was the last thing on my mind.Teleported? You’re not making any sense… I say to Adeline, who immediately fell silent.When it takes a while for her to respond, I turned my gaze back to the house and squint at the largest wi
Eloise's POV:The man practically tried to kill you, El. Adeline hissed, but at this point, I’m not so sure anymore. I’m not sure because when I look into his eyes, all I see is the pain he’s hiding inside.There’s something more that he isn’t telling me. I can feel it. He’s hiding something, but I am yet to figure out what.He pulls down his sleeves, tucking it away and off of my sight as if thinking it would disgust me. But it don’t.“What can I do?” I choke, staring blankly at his covered sleeve.Then, determination surged through me as I glanced at the basement door where my Mum is locked. A weak thumping sound can be heard behind the door as if she was asking to be let out.Dad glances in the same direction, when something dawned over me.“I can help,” I whisper, staring off into the locked door of the basement.All my life, I never thought Mum would end up at such a place. Forced into a cage in our own basement… I shudder, feeling my heart tighten in my chest. So much so, I coul
