Elysia Pov

I settled myself on the couch in the corner with Monica next to me, she was wasted and the guy I assumed as her boyfriend happened to flirt with other girls on the dance floor.

Among the crowd of dancing people, my eyes still finds Drax's.He winked at me as he continue to enjoy music.His shirt that was hanging for dear life now fully unbuttoned, revealing his six pack abs.With a beer bottle in one hand and another in the air, he seems to be enjoying a lot.

He signals me to come over but I shake my head to indicate a 'no'. I have danced enough and don't want to risk dancing again with him after the little tingles I felt.

It's better to maintain a distance.My heart definitely can't handle the proximity with him.

My eyes widened when he pushed his way out of the crowd towards me.Running a hand through his curly hair, he grinned down at me.

"C'mon Sweetheart" He insists, extending his hand for me to grab.

"No.I was planning to leave" I shove his hand down gently, turning down h

    Where does she live? She is a new resident, not even an official yet she was nowhere in the guestroom section of the Pack House."Where are you sweetheart?" I thought, while speeding up my bike, the breeze against my skin makes me feel alive.My second favorite thing is bike riding and damn do I absolutely go feral with it.Reminds me of my wolf.Every time.My sad trance was cut short upon seeing the girl I was searching for.Dark long wavy hair flowing down her waist, resting a little above her hips as she walks in those flared jeans.That's definitely her.I don't even need her to turn around to confirm, it's the way she walks that's imprinted in my mind.The powerful walk like she is ready to hunt down someone.There's just something so attractive about a fierce woman.The first time I saw her on the road, I purposely splashed dirt on her clothes.I just wanted a reason to take a close look at her.And man did she impress me with that hit although it pinched to see the damage on my bike b

    Elysia PovWe were walking for hours now, only getting deeper into the woods instead of getting out.I couldn't say anything to Drax because first, it's my fault that I threw his keys.Second, he looks a little too good and it's not healthy for me.The moment he stares at me, or speaks and does that flirty eye thing, a whole zoo of butterflies erupts in my stomach.Its weird and embarrassing.He is attractive, I won't deny that but the way I feel around him is something that scares me.I feel carefree unlike with every other men's presence.Even Zion, his presence makes me anxious and somewhat scared.The urge to hide from them is always strong but with this man, there's just something different.His electric blue eyes are soft, alluring and it's hard to not be lost in them.I shouldn't be feeling this way towards him.I don't even know him properly.I sigh, the exhaustion weighs down my bones and I stop by one of the huge trees, resting my palm against it for support.I look behind where Drax

    I stepped back, slowly out of his hold and the more I look at his blank face, the more I feel ashamed of my actions.Oh how I wish this ground to open up and swallow me than spending another second filled with awkwardness here.It's better to keep my mouth shut.I stood there frozen, head filled with countless thoughts of regret until Drax cleared his throat and began to move.I quietly followed him, not knowing where we were heading to but as long as I didn't have to talk it's all good.After a while of walking, he stopped and signaled me to stop as well.He looked around, and I too sensed a shift in the air."What's going on?" I barely whisper out as fear settles in my chest.I scoot closer to Drax who stares down at me for a fraction of second before looking around the dark forest."Someone's here" He said quietly.It only worsened my anxiety.A cripple noise of branch snapping behind us ring in my ear causing me to flinch and scoot further close to Drax.We both look in the direction of

    Drax POVI see Monica's lips moving, but her voice has stopped registering in my brain.All I could think of is the kiss from Elysia.I have never had a girl initiate a kiss before.It threw me back and took me a long minute to realize that I have been kissed so tenderly.Unfortunately, she had pulled away before I could function again.It just felt so different.Why? I am pressuring my brain to come up with something convincing because no way in hell am I being this affected by a kiss.I am a ladies man.It's no big deal yet my brain malfunctioned in her hold.Maybe…maybe because it's been a long time since I had sex.Yes! Definitely it's the reason.I slam my fist against my palm at the joy of finding a convincing reason."What's gotten into you bitch? I've been observing since morning you are acting like a possessed piece of annoying shit" Monica's voice finally rings in my ear, breaking me out of my thoughts."What?" I ask.She throws her hands in the air as disbelief morphs her face."No

    Elysia PovAfter my conversation with Zion, my brain couldn't stop thinking about his beef with Nikona.If it's bad then I can possibly take advantage of it and use his help but he has already declared his disinterest towards me which means I can't lure or manipulate him through mate bond.Zion is not an easy nut to crack.Perhaps, mate loss made him the way he is now.Funny how mate bond is heaven for some and hell for others.A tap on my shoulder brought me out of my depressive trance.I turned around and found no one then felt another tap at the back of my head.I whip my head around quickly, catching the sight of a familiar male figure trying to move behind.I grab him by the hem of his shirt, halting his silly actions.A goofy grin formed on his lips, my eyes too occupied on his curly black locks that were an absolute mess.How he still managed to look insanely handsome is beyond my understanding."Boo hoo" He says quietly, still grinning down at me.I shake my head in disbelief.He lea

To say I am both confused and hopeful would be an understatement.My wolf has been shut down for a decade.I tried everything, visited every known physician for years but nothing worked and the reason for my gone wolf is still unknown.It was painful to accept that my wolf is no longer with me.However, I did and now this girl is telling me otherwise.I can't even sense my own scent.Zion couldn't either so it's mind-boggling coming from her.That means there's hope.My wolf is still there.I didn't realize the smile that took over my face until my cheeks started to ache and I relaxed my features.The door to the room quietly opens, revealing Julia's frame to my sight.Her brows creased into a deep scowl and she hesitated for a good minute while looking between me and Elysia.I picked Elysia's asleep body in my arms and got off the chair before looking around the desk for her handbag.I gra

    Returning to the Zion's Pack wasn't as bad as I had thought. This place is peaceful, filled with people that I don't have to argue with, or disregarded just for being a female.I walk through the garden, admiring the beautiful flowers and plants, the beauty and its calmness provide a sense of inner peace I crave.A soft thud of footfalls wafts through the comfortable silence. I look over, my eyes flicking to Zion.Clad in a black t-shirt, white pants and hair brushed back, just letting a small strand of hair hover on his forehead.Down in his arms is my baby Ian, comfortable like it's his favorite place from now on.The natural hold he has on my baby is something that sends a pleasing tingle in my stomach. One I couldn't acknowledge, not now..Not ever.“Hi” He greets softly, “ I hope you don't mind me hanging around Ian— He is just so adorable. I didn't realize for how long I had him”I shake my head, smiling softly. “It's completely alright with me. I needed some fresh air anyway”H

    A month has passed ever since that man entered our life like a tsunami.A month since Xander disappeared with him.Thirty days of waiting and hoping but he never came back.My heart is still crushing under the weight of guilt, that I stupidly let him do something so risky.My Pack is doing fine. Everything is running smoothly.After what happened that day, they believe it's better to let me lead the Pack as long as I keep them safe.I have wanted them to listen and now when they finally are…I am still hollow from the inside.I lost my wolf before but now I can feel the loss physically.Like I lost warmth.“Elysia!” A voice so cheerful, contrary to my thoughts, rings through my ears.I leave the plant on the mud, and get up to my feet to spot Ciara jogging enthusiastically towards me.“Look! Look at that!” She stops a step away from me while showing her hands.I frown, not understanding what's so different about her hand.“It's pretty, isn't it?” She beams, jumping lightly with happiness her

    A loud howl full of agony ripples through the air, contrary to the abnormally quiet dining Hall.As if it was the first reaction of the given threat by the man claimed Dark Faerie, a smirk takes over his features.“Oh Wouldn't you like to take a look outside?” He suggests gravelly.With a hand on my chest and another holding Xander, I walk out of the dining Hall.As I open the double doors of the mansion, the noises become more loud.Whimpers, howls, and screams fill my ears.My legs move fast to the main gates, the voices so heart wrenching as though something horrible is happening.I step out, eyes falling on the guards on the ground, down on their knees as painful howls leave their mouth.Their eyes pitch black with fresh tears rolling down their faces.“Hey!” I grab his arm and shook him but he only flinched, yanking my hand with such force that I almost stumbled. I watch in horror as he turns away before running straight into the wall.He still attempts to go through it.I gulp, clut

    Drax, Zion and I sat together to dine, but it's obvious that none of us have an appetite after what happened this early morning.“Xander has powers— indestructible even..Maybe worse than the one who summoned him.Don't you think? This is why he wants him back” Zion says, serving bacon on my plate from his.“It seems so but Xander is a child— although those dark powers might make him scary but he doesn't know good or bad” I whisper, “And what exactly are you trying to say by mentioning his powers?Zion stares at me for a brief second, hesitation is shimmering in those eyes.“Nothing” He sighs, digging back in his food.“Of course, you'd think that” Drax chuckles, flicking his gaze to Zion as if he understood what's running in his brother's mind.“He wants to hand Xander to whatever evil that is chasing him since he is strong, powerful and capable of dealing it by himself.” Drax's voice is sharp, filled with bitterness as he continues.“Since he is powerful, he must deal with it himself?

    Three days since I have announced new rules in the Pack.Having to constantly face their rudeness and arrogance towards anything I had to offer really pissed me off from time to time but I appeared calm most of the times to not let it be an disadvantage of mine.It is necessary to gain their trust.Right here in the Council Hall, I indulged myself to set this one rule straight and for the best.No Omega will be taken as a mate without consent and if someone breaks the rule then the punishment will be as severe as death.One rule and it has the council disagreeing and arguing over it.“Enough!” I slam the table, catching each one of their attention. Their eyes scream anger, crystal clear towards me.“I will not change my decision.This rule will be taken seriously.In Fact from this very given moment and those of you that disagree, I suggest to stop using your energy because nothing will make me change my mind” I announce sternly.“Omegas are not your Puppets.Learn to respect them or you'l

    Against my better judgment, I step inside and walk towards the windows to open them, letting the smoke clear out from the room.Behind me, I sense him move.Turning around, I set my eyes to his displeased frame now sitting on the bed and already staring at me with annoyance.“Did you not hear me?” He groaned, bringing the cigarette to his mouth.I rushed towards the bed and snatched the cigarette from his hand.Ignoring the shift of anger in his eyes, I throw the cigarette on the floor and step on it with my shoes.“I did hear you and I am not leaving” I affirm, holding my ground.Drax stares at me for a moment before laying down on the bed and fetches out a pack of cigarette from his pocket.Groaning in disbelief, I attempt to snatch the pack but he blocks me with his free arm.“Stop bothering me and go plan whatever the heck you want with Zion.Both of you suit each other.Dumb and dumber” He hissed bitterly before shoving my hand away.I didn't let his words hurt me rather I find it amusi

    We all sat in the living room as I shared my opinion regarding my son.Zion seems to be calm and positive about this revelation but on the other hand, Drax seems to be lost in a deep thought.His brows remain narrowed in a deep slits, lips pressed together into a thin line and hands resting against the armrest , tapping the fabric ever so slowly.“He isn't so boring after all” Xander's voice rings in the quiet room.Tearing my eyes off Drax, I glance around the room before sighing in distress.Ian might be gifted but it's still a scary thought.What if he ends up hurting himself? He is too young to understand anything.He could possibly harm himself.“As good as it appears to me, I think it would be better to not mention anything about using the gift to him.Just as you said, Ian responded to Xander's constant demand.If not under right guidance and protection, Ian can harm others and most specifically himself” Zion shared his piece of thoughts, which matches with my concern.“That's what I a

    I heard footsteps reaching up to me from behind. I turn around quickly only to bump my head into something firm.“Careful, sweetheart” Drax's soft voice wafts across my ears.I step back and look up at him.‘Ian.. Find him please” I hardly manage to push out the words as a lump formed in my throat.My nerves spiked with worry.Placing his both hands on my shoulders, Drax attempts to reassure. “We will find him, just don't forget to breathe”I nod slowly, before turning to the maid who looks just as concerned now. “Please check the mansion and inform me if you find Ian”She nods in return before turning to walk away into the corridor.Drax and I also started to search for Ian.After checking almost all the rooms, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.I opened the last room and to my surprise, Zion was working out.Upon sensing my abrupt presence in his room, he stopped midway through his push-ups and looked at me.His confused eyes are replaced with concern real instant then he gets up t

    This might be the first time I enjoyed sex.It was a bliss to come undone in Drax's arms.He was just so into giving me pleasure that it turned me on even more.That's how I ended up going on with multiple orgasms.The faucet was already off, but the steam around us made the moment more intense.Drax kept his arm around me as I was resting on his lap with my back pressed against his chest.No words were exchanged between us except the gentle touches here and there.It felt truly relaxing.I slowly ran my fingers on his thigh in a slow circular pattern, noticing the way his muscles clenched and that simply made my core throb.I sigh, leaning my head against his shoulder.His lips slowly brush against my neck, then leaving lazy kisses down my shoulder.His hands leave my waist and move up to grab my breast.I sigh out loud, losing myself completely with his touch.My eyes flutter open when I feel his hardness beneath me.I was too sensitive but yet my body craved for more.I slowly started to grin
