ELENA’S POVI didn’t even know what the right thing to say to Lukas was at this point. He looked calm, he was acting calm, but I could feel that his energy was not a calm one at all. The guard that was kneeling next to me looked so afraid and my fear was that he was going to die for a dumb decision that I had made. I didn’t want anyone to die because of me. However, that didn’t mean that I also wanted to die although I was probably better off dead at this point. This was not the life that I wanted to live. It would be better if Lukas just shot me without this interrogation. ”Lukas, let me explain,” I said as I attempted to get up from the couch and reason with him before this went too far. I couldn’t see how he would choose to kill the guard over me when he had known that guard longer than I had, but then again this man was obsessed with me. This was a decision that I had taken all on my own and I was ready to defend it if I had to.“Sit down my love,” he said calm but I just stood t
LUKAS’ POVI had finally managed to get my point across to Elena and she now knew exactly what was expected of her. I hated the fact that she was now afraid, but I came to a point where I realized that she wasn’t ever going to do everything that I expected from her until I showed her that I wasn’t going to tolerate her games. I just wanted her to understand that I wasn’t going to tolerate anything that was not a commitment from her. After she left me in the living room, I decided to go to the office to do some work, but after I got there I couldn’t even focus on what I was doing. I couldn’t stop thinking about what she was doing in the room and how she would look in the lingerie that I had gotten for her today. I hoped that she would wear it because Elena was very stubborn and the chances of her not even wearing that thing were very high. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't even in our room, to begin with.Today was the day that I had been impatiently waiting fo
ELENA’S POVI closed my eyes as Lukas got on top of me and started having sex with me. I didn’t want to see his face as he kissed me and as he breathed down my neck. I felt so filthy and dirty, but I knew that if I made even a single mistake or if I did something that would make him think that I didn’t want this as much as he did, he would kill my family. I was still traumatized by what had happened to the guard earlier and I was certain that the picture of his dead body was never going to get out of my mind. I couldn’t even understand how Lukas had seemingly gotten over that. I couldn’t understand how he could be on top of me and act like he hadn’t just threatened my life earlier. He was going on as if killing someone was a part of his daily life and it didn't matter to him or affect him in any way.The reason why I decided to get dressed in the way that he wanted me to be dressed was that I didn’t want any more fights with him. Of course, I didn’t want to get intimate with him, but
LUKAS’ POV I woke up feeling fulfilled and I also felt like I had accomplished a goal that I had been struggling with. I was happy that Elena had finally come to terms with the way her life was going to be from now on. I was happy that she had accepted that there was no escape for her and that she was now ready to perform the duties that were expected of her as my mate. One thing that I didn’t like was the fact that I had scared her into realizing all those things. My original plan was to love her and show her that I loved her until she finally accepted that love. However, after the stunt that she had pulled by trying to escape, I realized that she might never accept me. I knew that I had to do something before she ran away for good this time. I believed that her parents had made it very clear to her that they were not going to take her back and that she was supposed to stay with me, so I knew that if she ever tried to escape from me again she probably wouldn’t go back to them and th
ELENA’S POVI was relieved when I woke up the following morning to see that Lukas hadn't stayed in the room with me. After what I had done with him last night, the only thing that I wanted to do was run into the bathroom in the morning and take a long hot bath. I felt dirty and I felt like nothing I did could help me get rid of the filth that I felt was covering my body. While I was bathing, my mind kept wandering off to the stranger that I had dreamt about. I couldn’t help wondering if he was the one that was meant to save me and I wondered if he was my mate. Maybe the moon goddess had planted him in my dreams to ensure I didn’t give up waiting for him.However, I was worried now that he would find me impure because I had already had sex with Lukas. I wished that I had tried to delay it any longer, but at the same time, I tried not to be too hard on myself because Lukas was a very scary man. He had literally killed a man right in front of me and I didn’t have or possess the bravery t
LUKAS’ POVI noticed that Elena had been spending a lot of time outside the room and I guessed that was because of the omega that Mike had sent to her. I hadn't seen the omega that he had chosen and I hadn't asked to because I knew that Mike knew what he was doing and he knew me well enough to know what I expected from him. I didn’t expect him to pick just any omega that wasn’t up for the task and risk messing up my plan. I mind linked him to come into my office so that he could come and update me on how everything was going with Elena. I wanted to know how she was connecting with the omega.“You called” he said sticking his head into my office with his eyebrows raised. ”Come in” I said “you don’t think I will discuss anything with you standing there, do you?” I asked him a little irritated by the fact that he seemed to be avoiding me. If I didn’t know better, I would say that Mike was hiding something from me and because I depended on him to tell me everything that was happening in
ELENA’S POVMy days in Lukas’ mansion had taken a complete three-sixty, I went from being lonely and depressed to having a friend that I could spend my days with. Of course, I still didn’t trust Grace because she was Lukas’ younger sister, but the fact that she was taking her time every day to come and spend time with me meant a lot to me. I was also starting to think that my suspicions of her were baseless. I mean, ever since she befriended me she hadn’t asked me about Lukas or my relationship with him. Whenever I brought up his name she would instantly change the topic and tell me that she didn’t want to talk about him. I figured that if he was the main reason that she was visiting and befriending me, then he should have been all that she wanted to talk about, but that was not the case.“So where were you when I first got here?” I asked Grace as we took a walk in the garden. This had become like a daily ritual for us.“I was busy being rebellious,” she said uncomfortably.“I am sorr
LUKAS’ POV“ Look, I went all out to prepare this for you and this is how…” she cut me off before I could even finish what I wanted to say. I didn’t like the cocky attitude that she had towards me and I wasn’t sure what was causing it. Was it because she had been spending time with Grace? Was it because Grace had helped her get confident and was she trying to turn my own mate against me?”I didn’t ask you to do anything for me. Look Lukas, I am tired of pretending as if everything is perfect. I am tired of acting like I am happy here when I am not”, she snapped.“You are the only one who is enjoying this and I think that its best if you just get honest with yourself and with me” she added.“Watch your tone when you speak to me”, I warned her. “all I am saying is that a little gratitude would really go a long way,” I said.“ Do you think I enjoy everything that is happening here?” I asked her. “Do you think I enjoy seeing you act like that and receiving all this disrespect from you?” I
DAMIEN’S POVI really hoped that seeing her little sister would make Elena reconsider her feelings for her parents. She needed to forgive them not only for her sake but also for the pups that we were going to have in the future. It was as if I only existed to make this woman happy because the look on her face when she laid her eyes on her sister was enough to get me smiling all throughout the day. When Tasha and Elena were done with their meeting, I asked Charles to take Tasha back home because I wanted to go and hear from Elena how their meeting had gone. I already knew how the meeting had gone because I could hear them laughing as Elena walked her little sister out of the bedroom. Even without seeing her, I already knew that she was very happy.I was glad that seeing her little sister made Elena realise that she needed her family as much as they needed her. I had no family and I wished I had one. I didn’t want her to wait until it was too late before she made amends. Admittedly, her
ELENA’S POVI couldn’t believe what Damien was asking of me. He didn’t see what my father has put me through and he hadn't witnessed how everyone turned against me and practically sold me off to Lukas. After all I had been through because of them, I had no intention of going back there for any reason. The only person that I wanted to sew was my sister. She was the only person that deserved to see me. My mother had failed to stand up for me as a mother should when my father was throwing my rings out. I remembered how they has just handed me back to Lukas when I ran away. What kind of love was that? As far as I was concerned that was just selfishness because they gave me away to him all because they wanted to save their skin. I was the sacrificial lamb for my family and I literally almost died because of what they had done.I was even certain that my father wasn’t going to apologise to me for any reason. As far as they were concerned, they hadn’t done anything to me. As far as he was co
DAMIEN’S POV I was happy to finally be able to take Elena home with me. We had been apart for too long and it was also time for me to help ease her pain. She had already been through a lot and I just wanted her to get a break. I missed sewing her all happy and I missed seeing her smiling. Ever since Lukas had found out what was happening between me and Elena, things hadn't been smooth for us. First he had kicked me out of the pack and soon after that he ran away with Elena. However, that was now all after under the bridge and everything in order now, well everything except Elana’s health.I had chosen to move me and Elena to a different room because I decided she wouldn’t want to stay in the same room that she shared with Lukas. I didn’t even want to imagine the kind of memories she had in there but I didn’t want her to relive anything. I wanted the old bedroom to be turned into my new office and I wanted Elena’s bedroom to be joined with another room so that we could make it into ou
ELENA’S POVI had passed out sometime in the car as we made our way back to the pack. I felt like I could rest easy knowing that I was now back in the arms that I was supposed to be in. I still felt bad for the way things had ended with Lukas but there was nothing that I could do to handle that situation. I still felt that he had changed and that he regretted his actions but it seemed that I was the only one who believed that. I was saddened by the way Damien had turned into a monster just get get revenge on Lukas, but at the same time, I could understand his pain and who was to say that if he hadn't killed Lukas he wouldn’t come after me after I was well. I had to be honest with myself and the truth was that I knew that I would never have felt safe if I knew that Lukas was out there roaming free. I would have lived my life looking over my shoulder and afraid that he would come after me.When I woke up I was in the back clinic and although I was still in pain from the heat, I felt a l
DAMIEN’S POVNow that Lukas was dead, Elena and I could finally move on with our lives in peace. We left his body lying there in his yard and figured that some stray animal would get rid of it for us. I decided to believe Mike when he said that he hadn't told Lukas that we were coming but at the same time I made a mental note to keep a very close eye on him. Mike was not to be trusted and there was no way that I was going to give him a position that was going to make him close to me. I wanted to keep him as far away from me as possible for the sake of my peace of mind.As we made our way back to the mansion, Charles was the one that took over the well because I wanted to sit at the back with Elena. She looked horrible and instead of the sweet scent that I could recognise her by, she smelled like death was hovering above her. Even if she was in heat, how the hell was I going to help her and where the fuck was I even going to start? Lukas had really fucked things up for us and I wished
LUKAS’S POVI was struggling to understand why Mike had done this and why he had betrayed me in the way that he had. Had I ever done anything to him that made him think angry? Had I ever treated him unfairly? I couldn’t think of anything that I had ever done to him that could ever justify all that he had done to me. I had treated him like a brother that I had never had, but I guess he never appreciated that. Here was Mike, a guy that I had treated like my second in command standing over me with Damiena and Charles, the men that wanted me dead. I could understand why Charles hated me, especially after what happened to his father, but how could Mike do that?Charles and Damien kept interrupting my conversation with someone I had considered a brother for such a long time I chose to ignore them. I wanted Mike to answer me before I died so that I would die knowing exactly why he had chosen to betray me like this.“why Mike?” I asked him again.“I didn’t have a choice, Lukas” he finally sai
DAMIEN’S POVAlthough I was very happy that we had finally arrived where Lukas was keeping Elena, I was very disturbed when I saw him walking out with her in his arms. My wolf immediately went crazy and I clenched the gun that I was holding. Why the hell was he carrying her and what had he done to her? The fact that he was carrying her drove me crazy, but when my eyes met with hers I realised that something was seriously wrong with her. I couldn’t help feeling like she was trying to communicate something with me but just couldn’t figure out what it was. She kept looking at me and then at Lukas. At some point, whenever looked at Lukas it seemed that he said something to her and I wished I was a fly so that I could hear what, he was telling her. He had better not have been threatening her because there was no way that he was going to escape this today. This had been something that was long time coming0 and he now had to face the consequences of the decisions that he had made. I hoped t
ELENA’S POVI was slowly fading and when I opened my eyes I met Lukas' own eyes filled with sorrow. He seemed to have been crying and even though I was the one knocking very loudly on death's door, I couldn’t help feeling sorry for him. I wanted to tell him that he didn’t have to do this, but I was too weak to even open my mouth. For a minute I couldn’t remember what was happening and I couldn’t even recognise where I was. It was upon seeing Lukas's face that I remembered that he had kidnapped me yet again after finding out that Damien was my mate. When was this ever going to end?“Water...” I whispered and he gently touched my lips and then got up and got a glass of water with a straw. I didn’t realise how weak I was until I tried getting up to take the glass of water.“You are weak” he said as he got closer to my lips with the glass of water. I took a sip and then rested on the pillow. Lukas stared at me before he finally started speaking.“I am so sorry for putting you through this.
DAMIEN’S POVThe trackers had been searching for Lukas’s trail for days now, but they still hadn’t found anything. They couldn’t pick Elena’s or Lukas’s scent and it was as if they had both just disappeared from the face of the earth. A part of me felt like they were not doing enough, but I tried to remain calm. I wasn’t going on the search with them because I didn’t think that there was much help that I could offer them. I wasn’t a tracker and if I did go out I would have most likely gotten in the way of what they were doing. However, I had reached the point of feeling utterly useless. What good was I to Elena if I couldn’t even get off my butt to search for her? The angry mob that had gone in search for Mike also hadn't found him and I felt like all hope was lost. If the trackers that Charles had been so confident in couldn’t find the trail and if the angry mob couldn’t find Mike, then we were all out of options. Elena was going to die and I was starting to feel like a failure. Mike
