Elodie’s P.O.V

As soon as I stepped inside the house, Marcel swooned me in a hug that kind of took me aback because as much as I found comfort in his arms, I pushed him away from me, staring deep into his eyes for answers that had no questions.

Forcing out a smile, I muttered. “Why? Did something happen…..”

Marcel’s eyes closed briefly as his chest heaved before he ran his hands through his hair. “I have been trying to reach you. I thought that you got intimidated by what Mae did”

My brows furrowed with confusion even though my eyes piqued with curiosity at the same time. “What? I ran out of battery and what do you mean by what Mae did?”

Gently, Marcel led me to the plush couch and explained everything in detail to me. While he talked, I could see the anger in his eyes, how incredulous the whole issue seemed to him, and most importantly, how he couldn’t believe that Mae would do something like that.

I knew from the very start that something was off with that witch when she began to

    Elodie’s P.O.VMy heart raced with excitement, thinking about everything that happened between me and Marcel this morning and most importantly, our encounter! With a smile on my face, I returned the greetings of the employees who were bustling about the office. As excitement kept building inside of me, I scrolled through my messages, trying to find a number that Marcel's aunt had sent when a message from an unknown number caught my attention.Stopping in my tracks as my lips pressed together, I opened the message only to find a long note that was sent by no one other than Mae!She dared to text me and tried to exonerate herself. This had to be a joke!However, what took me aback was the fact that she mentioned that Susan was the one who put her to this. She claimed that Susan had threatened her and made her do the things that she did to the twins and me.Reading the message, anger coursed through me, and the hate that I now held towards Mae intensified. Did she honestly think that ty

    Susan’s P.O.V I paced back and forth, my mind drifting back to what happened between Mae and me. “Do I have to worry about her? That woman looks shady and manipulative and……” My words got stuck in my throat when I heard a growl that made a wave of icy dread wash down my spine. That was Darius’s voice and he was screaming my name!Why was he calling my name like that?Opening the door, I went down the stairs, packing my hair into a ponytail as his voice echoed through my ear. “Where is she? Where is Susan” I froze when I heard the sound of utensils shattering against the tiled floor. Dread settled at the pit of my stomach then but I mustered the courage and went down the stairs. When my gaze landed on him, time stood still at that moment as we both locked gazes.The air was thick with tension and darting my eyes off him as fear clawed at my throat, my lips parted slightly on sighting the broken shards of glass, the TV was broken, the flower vases were shattered to the ground and Da

    Marcel’s P.O.VI saw the glint of fear in Elodie’s eyes as she locked gazes with me. At that moment, I knew that the exact thoughts going on in her mind were the same ones going on in mine. Killian’s sudden death right after he threatened Darius to pay back the money that he embezzled meant that there was a high chance that Darius had orchestrated his death. If Susan could manipulate Mae into tampering with the children’s brake, then Darius would do worse.Tears formed in Elodie’s eyes and before they could spill, I pulled her into a hug, patting her on the back slowly at the same time, whispering in her ear. “It is going to be fine”Elodie withdrew from my embrace, shaking her head. “No, nothing is going to be fine. If I hadn’t ensured that the news about Darius’s embezzlement gets leaked out to the media, then Killian wouldn’t have died. I don’t know anymore but the guilt that Killian’s blood is on my head is…..”My hands flew over her mouth, suppressing her words as I said. “Don’

    Mae’s P.O.VAxel’s words resounded in my head as my heart pounded in my chest like a war drum. For a second, it felt like my hearing was impaired because there was no way that Marcel would tell Axel to carry out such a cruel act against me.But recollecting the way that Marcel dug his claws into my shoulders, sent cold shivers down my spine. “Are you being serious right now?”Axel sighed, stashing away his cigarette into the ashtray. “Yes, he told me to capture you and lock you in the dungeon until you sign an undertaking. Look, Mae, as much as I am mad at you for the recent stunts that you pulled, I can't just find myself doing something like that”My stomach tied a knot and despite the tears that formed at the back of my eyelids, I tried so hard to fight back my tears. “I don't know why Marcel is doing all of this…..”Axel slammed his fist on the table, my heart almost leaped out of my chest as he growled. “You know why he is doing all of this!

    Susan My stomach tied a knot in anxiety and it was just crazy that Darius couldn't see what I was seeing! Everything about this banquet felt weird and I wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for Mae! When Mae requested to see Darius, I had instructed the guards to open fire on her if she was caught lurking around the pack house. I also instructed the security personnel in Darius’s company to never allow her inside. The fireworks that boomed through the sky jolted me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to the reality that I was in. If it wasn't that Darius had promised me to give me what I wanted, then I wouldn't be here! But in the end, I needed to act as the pious wife before he changed his mind. If it wasn't for the fact that Darius was shameless, how could he even have the face to accept Marcel and Elodie’s invite? Maybe I was just overreacting? Since almost all the Alphas were invited, it was normal that Darius would be invited. But, there was this fear and doubt

    Darius’s P.O.VMy eyes fluttered open and the only sound that I could hear was the sound of machines beeping. I felt empty and my eyesight was blurry as I sat upright and a groan escaped my lips. Rubbing my hands on my eyes, my heart squeezed immediately when all the memories that haunted me came rushing into my head like a flood. A sharp groan left my lips as I fisted the sheets. The banquet, Liam, Amelia, and most importantly— that devil’s incarnate, Susan! Removing what was attached to the back of my palm, I jumped out of the bed, hissing because of the beeping machines that surrounded me. My gaze fell on a knife that was next to some peeled apples and I grabbed the knife, ready to stab Susan over and over again but without asking her about what I could have done for her to commit such atrocities against me. At that moment, the door swung open and my pack doctor came inside alongside Ezra as they rushed towards me. “Alpha Darius, you are awake. Thank you, moon goddess” Ezra s

Lowering his head in reverence for me, my fingers drummed on my keyboard as I asked. “How can I help you, Alexander?”Alexander waved his phone at me. “The company’s official mail keeps on being flooded with emails from the Martini Corporations and…….”I interrupted at that moment, my eyes almost bulging out of its sockets in disbelief. “What?”Martini Corporations? That was my father’s company before my brothers took over and changed the name from the Martinez group of companies to Martini corporations. My three brothers, James, Williams, and Charles took over everything and left me with nothing! They even denied me my inheritance and didn’t allow me to step foot in my father’

However, when Alexander told me that she was stuck in a board meeting, I was awash with relief. In a matter of seconds, a smile formed on my face when I spotted her from afar walking with Alexander as they both seemed to be engrossed in each other’s conversation. I leaned down, reaching my hands for a bouquet and I was about to approach her when I stopped in my tracks and there was this dark aura that swirled around me at that moment. Something was wrong somewhere and I could feel it deep in my bones. Swiveling my gaze around, I caught sight of a man who had a black face cap and a nose cover over his face as he walked away. Squinting my eyes suspiciously, I raised a brow in confusion and I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when Elodie appeared before me. Her lips parted in shock slightly before her eye

  • Return Of The Unwanted Luna (You Can’t Have Me)    Epilogue (Wedding Bells)

    Epilogue **After One Year** The setting sun cast a golden glow over the ethereal surroundings as the sound of waves crashing in the distance echoed through my ears. My heart pounded against my chest in anxiety despite the excitement that bubbled deep within me. The air hung heavy with anticipation and on exchanging fleeting glances with the triplets who keep taking pictures of me with their cameras, I shot a wink at them. Silas gesticulated before he mouthed. “Daddy, don't overdo the smile. Smile, like this” I did just as he had said while the guests laughed at the silent conversation between Silas and me. I gave Silas a thumbs-up while Silver gave a gentle applause that was almost inaudible. Sage on the other hand sat next to Aunt Nadia, Leah, and Axel who carried both Elysia and Daisy in his arms while Sage made funny faces to them. Staring at the scene before me, I fiddled with my fingers in anticipation, carefully waiting for my bride. “She is here” Someone murmu

    Elodie’s P.O.VThe clouds darkened, thunder rumbling through the sky while I stood rooted to the same spot frozen. The rain first started like a gentle patter but in the next minute, the rain enveloped me totally, soaking my clothes as my hair clung to my face. I was too numb to speak. Too shocked to even wrap my head around what had happened. I could barely move my legs but I mustered the courage and dragged my feet towards the railings, staring down at Darius's lifeless body. His blood that soaked the metal spikes was being washed away by the rain that fell heavily. I should be relieved that he was dead…But the more I stared at his lifeless body, the more dread settled at the pit of my stomach and I saw myself on the metal spikes. My breath came in ragged gasps as I gripped the railings and that was when the images of Ezra spurting out blood flashed through my mind. My shoulders sagged and the more I gripped the railings, the more different emotions crashed over me. I crumbled

    Elodie’s P.O.VOh my. The necklace looked pretty on me. I trailed my fingers on the necklace and stared at my reflection in the mirror, that was when the reality hit me that Silver wasn’t back with my phone yet. He didn’t know where he dropped his phone tablet and pleaded with me to give him my phone so he could call his dad. “Could he be playing games on my phone?” I muttered to myself, standing up and that was when it dawned on me that even my hair stylist wasn’t back yet. I glanced at her empty cup of juice and darted my eyes back to mine which was still untouched. “What could she be taking downstairs?” I muttered to myself, opening the door to the room, and stepping out while calling for Silver’s name. But the only response I got was his name which returned as echoes in my ears. Something was wrong.What was going on? Walking down the hallway, relief flooded through me when I saw Aunt Nadia sleeping on the couch next to the vase of flowers. “Aunt Nadia, you should go into

Tulips, daisies, and peonies decorated every corner while I stood amidst it all, staring around like a proud dad. I had canceled all my schedule just to participate in the decoration after inviting a team of event planners from Thailand. As a smile formed on my face, the only thought that coursed through my mind was how Elodie was going to love this.I could already picture the look that was going to be on her face when she stepped into the garden later in the evening. All of a sudden, I was jolted out of my thoughts when a maid stood before me and on getting my attention, she lowered her head. “Sir, the popular cake corner called concerning how the delivery was going to be late. They claimed that there was a mix-up with the cake decorations”“I would be going alongside the head servant to monitor the progress of the cake. We will ensure that it gets here before the b

    Marcel’s P.O.VIn the doctor’s office, Elodie stared into space, before heaving a sigh while her hands were clasped tightly in mine. A small smile played on my face, amused with the way a strand fell on her face. I was about to remove my hands from her’s in a bid to brush off the strand when she turned to look at me, a glint of worry in her eyes and distress written on her face. She has been like this lately. It worsened since the night she accepted my marriage proposal and the annoying thing was she didn't want to see a doctor and instead stuck to paranoia. I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when she muttered. “Marcel, what if it is a stomach infection or cancer?”Heaving an exasperated sigh, I shook my head. “That is why we are here. I told you that it isn't any of this”Her voice shook. “It is not like you are a doctor. Plus I have never felt this way before and I have been seeing symptoms that relate to stomach cancer and stomach infection”“We should have seen the pack docto

    Elodie’s P.O.VImages of Susan’s lifeless body in the creek flashed through my mind and the way Marcel’s strong arms encircled me, pulling my trembling body against his chest in a bid to stop my gaze from lingering on her disfigured face. Darius was a monster. A monster that I never wanted to lay eyes on for the rest of my life. Marcel assured me that he was going to find Darius and finish him off as fast as possible. It has been two months since Susan died and still, that grotesque image of her in the creek kept lingering in my mind. I was so traumatized that the only one who helped me was Marcel and right now, I was pissed at him. Recently, I have been having crazy mood swings that really scared Marcel off at times and right now I was boiling because I had planned a movie night with him just for him to bail out on me at the last minute. My gaze lingered on his message telling me that he wasn't going to be coming because something important suddenly came up. Like I wasn't impor

    Elodie’s P.O.V Taking my gaze off the ornate glass chandeliers, adorned with delicate crystal pieces that hung from the intricately designed ceiling, I paused beside Marcel. He glanced at me briefly before turning swiftly, his eyes softening and lighting up as if he had just seen an irreplaceable treasure.Staring into the ethereal green of my eyes, Marcel wrapped his fingers around my waist drawing me closer to him as he buried his face at the side of my neck, nibbling in a way that sent shivers down my spine. It was like he was basking in my scent. He was warm. My haven and my peace. I loved him. A lot. His lips grazed my skin, sending sparks of fire in its wake. “You are like a delicate flower that I want to keep, adorn, cherish, and nurture forever, ensuring you bloom endlessly. To the very end”“You are so beautiful, I feel like I want to end the party, take your clothes off, and show you how much you mean to me”My hand rested on his shoulders, while I muttered under my bre

    Darius’s P.O.VMy lips trembled as a searing pain racked through my body while I hung limply from the chains that bound my wrists to the walls, my upper body exposed and covered with cuts which blood dripped from. Another lash landed on my back and a groan left my lips, my vision blurred with a red haze as I gritted my teeth. “Stop!” A husky voice echoed off the walls of Layzal’s dungeon as the whip made a soft thud as it was dropped against the ground. As soon as the doors to the dungeon closed, hot tears streamed down my face and a bitter laughter spiraled from me. It has been two weeks since Marcel eliminated all the council members who were responsible for everything that happened to his family. He had chosen new members of the council, and taken over my pack with my idiotic park members in support of that tyrant. Marcel changed the name of the pack to the moonstone pack. He probably named it after my late son. That bastard!I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when a dark au

Staring at the ceiling which a candle chandelier hung while the grotesque image of the nightmare clung to the back of my mind like a dark stubborn shadow that seemed more like it was soon going to close in on me.I sat up slowly, leaning against the headboard while staring into space as memories of the nightmare flashed through my mind. My breath came in short, shallow gasps as I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly. I had seen myself falling off a cliff and I was in my pool of blood. Could it be the lingering fear of Layzal doing something to me that made me have this horrible nightmare? It had to be it. There was no way that I was going to die! I would never allow that. I will do everything to stay alive and get my children back from Marcel. “I won't die! Not now…not now” I muttered to myself while placing a hand on my chest that heaved slowly, sliding off the bed, as I walked to the bathroo
