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~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~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~“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 ~“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~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~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
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~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
