LUKAS’ POVAs I drove back to the house I couldn’t help thinking back to the events of my day. none of the things that I had set outlook had turned out the way I had intended or even wanted them to go. The oracle hadn’t said or done anything that was going to help me keep my throne. She had spoken to me in parables and left me very confused. I couldn’t even believe that I had gone to her in confidence and believing that she would be able to help me. I felt like she had really wasted my time and I wished that she had told me straight up that she couldn’t help me. However, I also felt like there was no point in me to even complaining about the way she handled my consultation.Right now my main concern was getting back home and checking on Elena, I had been gone for the whole day and I knew that leaving a pregnant female wolf all on her own was very dangerous. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if some rogue wolves had picked her scent and found her. I tried not to think negativel
ELENA’S POV I knew that I was dying, I knew something was wrong and the fact that I had even started bleeding showed me that I was right. I had to find a way to get through to Lukas and make him see that I was in too much pain and I needed help. It felt like I ws talking to a brick wall because everything I said to him didn’t seem to resonate with him. It was as if it was going in one ear and going out the other one. I couldn't understand why he was acting like he didn’t care about me. He simply refused to listen to me despite the countless times that I had begged him to let me go, I wasn’t asking him to return me back to the pack but I was simply asking him to allow me to breathe and maybe heal on my own. When I finally gave up fighting Lukas he stood up and closed the tap. My temperature had gone down but I was still feeling some excruciating pain. He put me on top of the bed as he changed his clothes and I watched him as he did so. I wondered when he would realize that this had g
DAMIEN’S POVI could feel that something was wrong, Elena might have been far away from me but I just knew that something wasn’t right. I wasn’t particularly feeling sick but my heart wasn’t settled, I was scared out of my mind just thinking of what Lukas could have been doing to her. I still didn’t know how deep his obsession with my mate and I didn’t know how far he planned to take it, all I knew was that Elena was in danger and I had to find a way to help her. We had managed to call the pack meeting and all that was left for us to do was to address them and let them know what was going on. Charles was certain that by now they had all heard of what was happening and they were probably expecting me to call a meeting and explain why I was suddenly their alpha. I hoped that they would receive me better than Mike had, I admired the loyalty Mike was showing Lukas. I felt like deep in his heart he knew that everything that we were saying about Lukas was true and yet he was just strugglin
LUKAS’ POV2I could see that I was losing Elena and there was nothing I could do to help her, the only thing that I could think of at this point that would help Elena was to go back to the oracle to try and ask her to help her. The last time I had seen her she told me that I had to make a decision and until now I didn’t know what decision that was going to be. I didn't even have time to try and figure out what she meant by that because the most pressing matter right now was getting Elena feeling better. The oracle was the only one that could heal her and the other person that could help her was Damien and I was obviously not going to go for that option. The man had already taken my place in the pack and I would be damned if he did the same in Elena’s life. Elena was my mate and there was nothing that anyone could do to separate me from her. I wasn't even going to allow death to separate us.I woke up in the morning and headed to the oracle’s shrine leaving Elena, sleeping. I hoped tha
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

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 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
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
