Elena~“Mathew doesn’t want the pup. He asked me to get rid of it.” I stood up abruptly, holding Vanessa who had began sobbing in my hands, helping her seat down on the bed as I knelt down, wiping her tears so she could repeat herself and confirm that I didn’t hear wrong.“What did you say?” I asked and she sniffled, wiping the tears that trickled down her chin as her lips wobbled. “M-Mathew, he doesn’t want the pup. I don’t know what to do. He asked me to get rid of it but how?” She cried out, I pulled her against me, allowing her cry all she wants. Just what is going on? I would’ve never expected this from Mathew of all people. I’ve always thought of him and Vanessa as the perfect couple, they just seemed so in love, he looks at her like she holds the stars in her eyes but this? A pup being brought into this world should be the best thing to happen to a parent, knowing their pup would be brought into this world is something amazing.“Did something happen? Did you fight with him? I
Elena~“What do you think?” He asked, eyes gazing at me with anticipation. I smiled, taking a look around again. Of course she would know such a pretty place. We are by a lake filled with different flowers. It was amazingly beautiful to loo at, like a blessing to my eyes.“Most times, when I feel confused or tired, I sneak back here and just enjoy gazing at the moon from here.” His voice brought me back from my haze. I smiled, taking a seat on the mat he had spread out.“So this is a date?” I asked and he smiled, reaching for the basket beside him, totally ignoring my question. “What do you like?” He asked and I stared at him confused. “I mean, what’s your favorite food? I had trouble packing something for you and just ended up getting what I’ve seen you had the past few days. Darla says you like it alot.” He replied, taking out a sealed plate from the basket. I watched as he took out two plates, setting mine beside me and a spoon.“What did you get for me? I’d like to know.” I say
Elena~Mathew.He stood there, pacing around as he spoke on his phone. Assuring whoever it was that he would make sure she gets rid of it.I gulped the pile in my throat, slowly and quietly making my way out and towards the pack. The image of what I saw was stuck in my head. Vanessa was there, thinking Matthew who is probably the best man in her life and all of that would never do her any bad but here he is, professing his love to someone else and telling them he would make sure she gets rid of her pregnancy.I’ve been here for a month and week, never would it have come into my mind that Mathew would be like this. Another cheater.I sighed as I stepped into the pack house, eyes immediately falling on Vanessa who was busy conversing with Dario and Darla. She looked up and saw me, smile gracing her lips almost immediately.“Elena, you’re back.” She voiced out, attracting the attention of Darla and Dario. I managed to shove down the image I had seen and what I just heard down my throat, s
Elena~Here I was, standing in the middle of Jake’s room with his tongue shoved down my throat, his hand wrapped around my waist tightly, pulling me closer to him as he sucked on my lower lip. A moan escaped me and he bit my lower lip hard but not enough to draw blood.“We have to stop.” He rasped out, voice coming out throaty and hoarse. I licked my lips as I nodded, leaning against the table he had cornered me on.Initially I came here so we could have our fight and make Lola and the other pack members believe all wasn’t well in our village but here I am, my gown ridden up to my inner thigh, lips swollen and bruised slightly. “Lola should be here in twenty. Are you ready.” He whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I clutched his shirt, trying to stabilize myself.“Don’t do that.” I muttered, adjusting my dress and stood straight. He took three steps back, eyes raking my figure slowly, a grin tugging on his lips.“Fuck! You’re gorgeous.” He says and I chuckled, adjus
Elena~“Can you repeat what you told me?” Jake’s uncle piped up. I could see the shock in everyone’s face as they saw the same lady that had interrupted Jake’s ceremony that day.“What’s going on?” Dario whispered to me, leaning closer to me. I shrugged, wrapping my arms around my chest as I watched the lady pull out a brown envelope , passing it to the man.“I said, I am the Alpha’s sister and the late Alpha William is my father.” She repeated. Series of gasps went could be heard. “What’s this?” Jake asked after some seconds, pointing at the brown envelope in his uncle’s hand.“It’s a picture.” She says. Jake gave his uncle the go ahead and he pulled out the content from the envelope, his eyes widening as soon as he looked at the picture. Immediately passing the picture to Jake whose face went white. He looked at the picture intently then back at the lady whose face I still couldn’t see. “You?” He shook his head, glancing at his uncle.“Why are you showing up now? Why didn’t you sh
Elena~I stood in front of the mirror with two tops in my hand, checking which would fit perfectly with my skin. “Just go with the black dress, it looks sinful on you.” Vanessa says, chewing popcorn as she sat some on my bed, already dressed for the night. “You think? I thought it exposes half of my body.” I replied, eyeing the black dress she was talking about. It was a tiny spaghetti strap, low waist dress with spilt up to my thighs. “The goal is to make Jake’s eyes pop out when he sees you, I mean, you can be a whore for one night.” She says and I groaned loudly, throwing one of the top in my hand at her.“What happened to my ever innocent and sweet Vanessa?” I asked and she giggled “Really, Elena. Jake has to know how hot you really are and this dress will show him exactly that. You’ve dyed your hair now and it’s going to match perfectly with the dress, besides didn’t you say Lola is also going?” She asked and I groaned internally.So here’s the deal, After making the plans wit
Elena~I fell to the bed, eyes hazy with need. Jake towered over me, a sly grin tugging on his lips as he stared me down. His gaze hot and edgy.“Jake.” I whined, trying to get up with my elbows but he pushed me back with his hand. “You were all talks and now? You want out?” He whispered, leaning so close to my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I bit my lip, preventing an involuntary moan from escaping my lips.His fingers, trailing my exposed thigh . I felt giddy with need coursing through my mind. He hasn’t even done anything to me yet and I felt weak and fucked out.“Please.” I whined but he chuckled in my ear. It was mean and demeaning yet I found myself moaning louder.“What do you want, baby?” He whispered and I gasped, the nickname was doing numbers on me. How does one get affected just by being called 'baby’? Jake raised his eyebrows, licking his lower lip slowly.“You like that, huh? Want me to call you baby?” He asked sultrily.”“I’m your baby.” I whispered as his hand par
I swallowed the lump in my throat, blinking back the tears pricking my eyes painfully. I stood up, wrapping the duvet around myself, walking by him to the other side of the bed, picked my dress and wore it. “Elena.” He called out my name, rushing towards me, looking alarmed. I heaved deeply, feeling drained of all my energy. I titled my head sideways.“I want you. It’s always been you. I shouldn’t have asked that we keep this inn secret because you don’t deserve that. You deserve way much than I’m giving you and I’m sorry, so sorry for that. Please don’t leave. I agree, we shouldn’t have to hide that we are in good terms and we definitely shouldn’t hide this. You were right, this whole thing wasn’t just because of the Luna thing but I promise you, there isn’t a bone in me that is hung up or even attracted to Lola. I’m so sorry for hurting you.” My eyes widened as soon as I heard him ramble on.“Y-you, really?” I stuttered out, hardly believing what he just told me. He nodded, holding
Epilogue ~One year after.The sun seemed exceptionally bright today. I shifted uncomfortably, sweat beads formed on my forehead, I lifted my arm, wiping my forehead rather awkwardly. A groan escaped me and I stopped, allowing the damaged weed fall from my hand. I straightened my back, wincing slowly on hearing the cracks. “Come inside now, your skin looks too red already.” A familiar voice says behind me. I palmed my lips into a thin line, groaning slightly as I stood up, my knees cracked painfully hard. Okay, maybe I’ve been kneeling down here, uprooting these damn weeds for way too long.“You know, we have a gardener that can do this. It’s literally his job description.” Vanessa says, eyeing my body, her nose scrunched slightly in annoyance. “You know, gardening is good to let out all these stress you’re carrying. Maybe you should join me tomorrow. I still have to clear that part.” I gestured at the other part of the garden that’s still undone. I glanced at Vanessa who was gazi
Elena~Here I was standing in what I would call Jason’s secret. Thousand of boxes were piled against each other. Mitchell had told me about this early this morning , she said her father would always go behind the pack house and I connected it with what I read in the book. I was able to tell Jake about the book Mitchell gave me but he didn’t seem that bothered about it but did tell me to keep the book and that everything would be sorted today. I decided to trail down this path when Jason and Jake got busy but not before telling Jake where I was going to. I still had no idea what Jake was planning but with how confident he seemed. I knew everything would be sorted soon. I heaved deeply, looking at the thousands of boxes stacked inside the boy’s quarters. There were thousand and this is where Jason was keeping it. Keeping them. This is it. What was written in the book is here. I rushed to the boxes piled against each other, immediately carrying one of it down, it was exceptionally heav
Elena~Here I was, sat between Mitchell and Jake. Alpha Jason and the Luna were also sitting, watching the maid dish the food.“How long do you plan on staying?” The Luna asked, gesturing at the maid to stop dishing her food. I furrowed my eyebrows at her question, remembering Mitchell’s had said to not stay long.“A couple of days at most and we’ll be out of your hair.” Jake says, chuckling slightly “You’re welcome to stay as long as you want, Jake. After all your father, the late Alpha Williams was a close friend of mine. Isn’t that right, darling?” Jason said, eyes stuck on his mate, emphasizing on the words a little too intently.I didn’t miss how she flinched even though she tried hard not too. A smile quickly masking her face “Of course, they’re welcome to stay as long as they want.” She replied, voice curt and sharp.“Haha…Thank you for your hospitality but we won’t be able to take much of your time as I also have a pack to run.” Jake says and Jason laughed.“Of course, I und
Elena ~“Welcome back, Elena.” Alpha Jason, Luna and their daughter stood right outside the pack house to welcome us. The alpha had the biggest smile on his face. He had a full regalia on while his wife was dressed in the traditional Luna outfit, they both seemed very different from how they were. His gaze fell on me, taking every inch of my appearance. “Thank you , Alpha Jason for welcoming us into your humble abode so nicely.” Jake says, interrupting the weird look Jason was giving me. Well, it wasn’t that weird but having him smile like he didn’t just trade my life made me squirm uncomfortably. Watching him and his mate look at me like I wasn’t traded cheaply only stirred up something bitter in me.“Please come in, I’m sure you’re both tired and need to rest.” The Luna says, hand grazing my arm lightly as we walked into the pack house, like I said, things have become very different here.The pack house for one was looking more nicer? It wasn’t like this months back but now, it l
Elena~“Are you ready?” Jake asked. I finished zipping my bag, standing up properly. “Yeah, I am.” I replied, watching as his eyes darted around.“You still haven’t told me what your plan is. I don’t think showing up in the Crystal pack without a plan is actually smart.” I say and he nodded, walking towards me with a smile on his face.“You trust me, right?” He asked like I wouldn’t bare my neck to him and let him do as he please without second guessing it.“Of course.” He palmed his lips into a thin line, bringing his hand up to caress my cheek “just trust me, we have to finish up what this is with Jason and the only way we can get into his territory right now is pretend like we are still friends with him. For that, I’ll need you by my side.” He says. That’s the only thing I’ve been able to understand in this whole thing. He hasn’t slipped out about the plan. All I know is that he’s been pretty secretive about it. Of. Course, I know it isn’t about him not trusting me but perhaps it’
Elena~Three months after…“Elena! Elena!” Someone called out my name. I placed the watering can on the floor, removing the hat on my head as I turned to see who was calling out my name. A smile graced my lips as soon as I got a whiff of the tiny footsteps rushing my way.“Careful, you might fall.” I say just as the child reached me, hugging my legs tightly. I giggled, kneeling to hug her.“What’s wrong bey? Shouldn’t you be with Lily?” I asked the child, placing my fingers under her chin, tilting her head upwards slightly to meet my eyes.“She’s being rude and won’t share her plushie with me.” She pouted and I smiled. “Now, why won’t she share her plushie with you? What did you do wrong?“ I asked, the sharp glint in her eyes telling me she had done something.“Beatrice!” Someone yelled agitatedly. I pursed my lips into a thin line on perceiving the scent of an anxious person.“Oh, thank the goddess.” The woman who had been calling out to the child said, slapping her forehead slightl
Elena~Tired.That’s exactly how I felt, waking up in the morning, I felt tired to my bones. The effect of the past two days was telling on my body. I haven’t had a moment to take a break and just rest. “Hey.” Jake whispered next to me. I turned to see him already staring at me, a soft smile made it’s way to his lips. “Hey” I whispered back, locking eyes with him. Our moment was broken when someone knocked on the door.I watched Jake stand up, draping a robe around his body and walked to the door, I couldn’t hear what he was saying nor could I see who interrupted us but it seemed like they came to tell him something.I sat up when he shut the door behind him “What’s wrong?” I asked and he shook his head.“Vanessa asked to see Matthew and Raquel, everyone is downstairs now and waiting for us.” He tells me. I hurried out of bed, rushing to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Vanessa seeing Matthew is definitely not going to be good, especially if Raquel is there. I still remember the cr
Elena~(This chapter is just between Vanessa and Elena.)A loud shriek had me running from where I stood and to Vanessa’s room. I pushed the door open to see Vanessa sobbing loudly, thrashing around even as Darla tried to hold her down.I looked at Darla who was also crying, trying to hold Vanessa down as she thrashed around.“Vanessa.” I whispered, making my way to her. I climbed the bed, pulling her tightly to me.“My baby, not my baby. Not my baby.” She cried out, eyes red and leaking tears, nose snotty. She gripped my sleeve tightly, looking me deeply in the eyes.“E-Elena.” She croaked out sobbing loudly. My heart broke into a thousand pieces watching her cry her heart out. I swallowed the lump in my throat and hugged her. She held unto my shoulder tightly, crying so hard.“My baby. I want my baby. I- I want my baby.” She choked out, crying the more. My throat tighten as I glanced at Darla who was also crying.She hasn’t even heard of what Mathew and Raquel did. “You need to cal
Elena~I pushed the door open, stepping into the room. Jake stood by the window, gazing outside. I stood there for some minutes, watching him sigh.“Hey.” I whispered, walking closer to him. He turned to look at me, a sad small smile making its way to his lips. “Hey.” He replied, stretching his arms apart.“How are you?” I asked. He went quiet, gazing back outside. I didn’t think he was going to reply me anymore. I sighed, wrapping my arms around his waist.“To be honest, I don’t know how I feel. I’m conflicted.” He says honestly and I hummed, waiting for him to speak the more.“There is Vanessa whose life has suddenly changed from having a mate to not having one. I’ve not been close to Vanessa, I mean, I wasn’t that close to Matthew either but she’s always been there, smiling happily, giggling. She has this aura of comfort that radiates through her, making me feel comforted whenever I’m around her. She’s good like that. I’ve not had the opportunity to really get to know her but from
