LUKAS’ POV
I was excited that I finally got the chance to bring my new mate home with me, I had been waiting for this day from the first day that I met her. Getting her here had been a little easier than I thought it would be but I wasn’t complaining. As far as I was concerned Elena was the most beautiful woman that I had ever seen. I wanted to snatch her up before anyone else took her and before she found her mate. However, it was clear that the moon goddess was on my side on this because she had withheld Elena’s mate from her, Elena had passsed the age of sixteen without finding a mate and I knew that her parents were now in a rush to get her mated to someone else. The parents of these girls often got desperate the moment their children turned seventeen without a mate. My case with Elena was different though because I had paid for Elena, although her parents didn’t know it, but when I saw her I decided to borrow her cash ridden parents with money that I knew they wouldn't be able to pay back so that on the day I came to collect I would just take her as my payment. As soon as she turned eighteen I came to collect my money and they had no choice but to hand her over to me because they didn't have the money just as I knew they wouldn't
I knew she wasn't happy about this and I had been expecting her to fight me but she had surprisingly taken this better than I expected her to. I was surpised when she voluntarily came and sat next to me but my surprise didn’t mean that I wasn’t pleased with what she had done. The last thing I wanted was to fight with her for what was rightfully mine and she was rightfully mine. If she wasn’t happy with being with me the only people she had to take her anger out on was her parents. They were the ones who were dumb enough to fall for my trick and now there was no turning back.
After we left her parent's house we headed straight for my palace, I knew she was going to be much happier there because my palace was much bigger and way more comfortable than her parents house. I expected nothing but gratitude from her because if I hadn't taken her no one else would have in that small town of theirs. Their alpha didn't even try to stop me when I came for her because he knew better than to get in my way, if he had tried I would have crushed him like the bug that he was. I could never how other alphas ruled their packs because I knew for a fact that I would never allow another man to come into my pack and just take a woman without my permission.
“Welcome home..” I said as we puled into the garage and I got out of the car, I noticed that she was still sitting in there and not making any movement to get out so I looked back in to check what she was doing and she was crying her eyes out.
“Come on Elena, don’t ruin my mood by acting like a child. Just get out of the car” I said but she didn’t move. I got out of the car, slammed the door, and ran my fingers through my hair, was this how she wanted this to be? I walked towards her side of the car and opened the door startling her.
“You know this is all up to you, you can either make it very easy for yourself or very difficult,” I said
“I like it when things are easy but if you like it rough, I can easily give it to you that way,” I said and she slapped me, I was upset by that but I smiled calmly. I picked her up in one swift move and threw her over my shoulder and started walking toward my pack house. A mere slap wasn't going to make me release her, she would have to do a lot more than that in order to escape me. As a matter of fact, the only way she was leaving me was through death.
It was clear that Elena didn’t know who she was dealing with, it was either she didn’t know who I was or she simply chose to ignore that I wasn’t a man that liked to be played with. When I got to my room I threw her on the bed and watched her as she bounced on the soft bed and her dress moved up exposing her fresh thighs. I could feel my cock get hard and fight for a way out but I knew today wasn’t the time for that. I had plans for her and I wanted her to at least enjoy what I intended to do to her.
“I would suggest that you behave yourself,” I said standing over her
“I don’t want to be here” she shouted
"Well you are here now so you have to live with it and accept it," I said
"Are you dumb, didn't you hear me when I said I don't want to be here?" she asked me and I smirked
“Your father didn’t tell me you were festy, what a dishonest man. I like to know what I pay for” I said with a wink as I started taking off my clothes and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
I was taking a shower because I didn’t wnat to force myself on her, I may have been considered a cruel and selfish man in all of wolf land but I wasn’t about to molest her. I had chosen Elena to be my mate because I fell inlove with her from the day that I had met her and ever since then, I had done nothing but obsess and constantly think about her daily. I just wanted to have her on my bed.
After I was done bathing I was shocked to find that Elena was no longer in the room. I could hear her screaming in the corridor and I quickly wrapped a towel around my waist and ran out.
“What the fuck is going on here?” I asked the guard as I stormed out of the room
”she was trying to escape alpha,” he said and I punched him in the face infuriated by the guts he had to lay his hands on my mate"I was just trying to help," he said
"Did I ask you for your help?" I asked him and he shook his head
“Don't you ever touch her,” I said bitterly
”I apologize alpha but I was just trying to help,” he said and I picked Elena up and carried her back into my room.
“Will you just let me go” she snapped as she struggled to get out of my arms causing the towel that was wrapped around my waist to drop to the floor. There was a moment of silence as she realized that I was now completely naked and I smirked. I dropped her on top of the bed and gave her a full view of my package. She looked at me stunned as her eyes traveled from my privates and up to my face again. It was as if she was in disbelief at what she was seeing, she was probably also wondering if she was ever going to be able to handle all this.
I got on top of the bed and started crawling towards her while she backed away from me as if I was about to bite her or eat her which I planned to do at some point (bite her that is). I almost laughed but I remembered that she was still a virgin the poor thing had no experience with a male and it was all up to me to teach her. I usually didn’t prepare virgins because I liked experienced women but I didn’t mind having Elena as a virgin. The fact that she was a virgin meant that she was still pure and in a way it felt to me as if she had kept herself for me, I couldn’t ask for anything more than that. I was going to teach her how to please me because I planned to be the only man that she ever had to please in her life.
When she had backed all the way up to the headboard she had nowhere else to go and I grabbed her leg and pulled her towards me. Her foot accidentally touched my hard cock as I pulled her under me but she quickly moved it away and closed her eyes. I lowered my head and placed a gentle kiss on her soft lips and at first, it seemed she didn’t know how to react to that. She just lay still on the bed until I tried to insert my tongue inside her mouth. She fought me to keep her mouth closed but I was soon able to gain entry and she stopped moving under me as if accepting her defeat. however, I was startled when she bit my lip and I was forced to pull away from her, and then I realized that my lip was bleeding. I wiped the blood off my lip and smirked.
“I see you like it rough,” I said with a smile and she just looked away as if I would eventually disappear.
“You and I are going to get along really well,” I said and then I got into the bed covers and went to sleep.
Tonight was going to be the first night n a very long time that I was going to have a good night sleep. For years now my mind had been occupied by the thought of Elena and my dreams were haunted by her. I saw her in my dreams and although that was probably because she was all I thought about, I still couldn’t get her off my mind I didn't even want to stop thinking about her. I longed for Elena ever since I had met her and it was surreal that Elena was finally with me and she was never going to leave me. Even if she wanted to leave me I was never going to let Elena go, she was now stuck with me and it was going to be that way until the day she died because I certainly wasn't going to die first and leave her all alone.
ELENA’S POV
I couldn’t even sleep after what Lukas had done to me, I felt disgusted by the fact that I had touched his penis with my foot even though I hadn't willingly done that. I felt dirty and I just wanted to go and bathe but I was afraid that if I did that Lukas would follow me into the bathroom and this time he would totally have his way with me and ignore the fact that I didn’t want anything to do with him. After I had tried to run away when I first got here, Lukas seemed to have learned his lesson and he locked the door and kept the key under his pillow. I considered trying to get it from under the pillow but I just knew that that wouldn't help me there was just no way that I was going to be able to get away from this place.
Even if I managed to get the key I wouldn't have been able to get very far because there were guards everywhere in this palace. It was evident that Lukas had a lot of enemies because of the number of guards that he had in this place. It just wasn’t normal. It suddenly dawned on me that all ofLukas’ enemies were suddenly mine and they would definately target me if they discvered that I was his chosen mate. Now my life was in danger as much as he was. A part of me hoped that an enemy of his would kidnap or even kill me and rescue me from this life that I hadn't signed up for. even if I did try to escape where would I go because my parents certainly wouldn't welcome me back home with open arms.
I suddenly found myself thinking about my mother and my father, I was still very angry with them but at the same time I was already missing them besides the bad decisions that they had made over the years, my oarents were good people. I knew that they loved me and that they had no choice but to give me away. My father was right when he said that it was either me or my little sister. I couldn’t imagine my own litle sister dealing with Lukas as I was right now. I was old enough to handle this and I had to carry myself as an adult. I even found myself considering my mother's advice to give Lukas whatever he wanted without fighting him but I just knew that the fighter in me would never allow him to do as he pleased with me.
I reminded myself that I had to do this for my familt, if I hadn't come here this man that I was lying in bed with would have probably killed my whole family. I wasn’t sure if I would have been able to live with myself if he had killed everyone. He would have probably killed everyone and left me alive just so that I could live with the knowledge that my family had been killed because of me. In a way I was grateful that he had taken me and left my family alone, maybe my sister would grow to have a better life than mine and she wouldn't be sold to the highest bidder. If my sister’s life turned out to be better than mine then and only then was I going to consider this suffering worth it. I closed my eyes with hopes that the moon goddess would bless me with some sleep but instead of sleep I was given floods of tears. I started sobbing and while I was afraid of waking Lukas up and having him lose it over my endless tears, I just couldn’t stop crying. I missed my bed and I missed hearing my mum humming her favorite song in the hallway. I struggled to accept the fact that this was the way that my life was going to be from now on. but I realized that there wasn't much that I could do to fight it without risking my family's well-being. I had to suck it up and accept it whether I liked it or not.
LUKAS’S POV The following morning I woke up early as usual and went through my usual morning routine, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and then after that, I headed to the gym. Going to the gym first thing in the morning before I did anything was my morning routine and although I was excited that I now had a new addition in my house I still had to stick to my routine and not allow the excitement to change my daily routine. I had a lot of plans for Elena today and I intend to make sure that she felt at home and welcomed in this place, after all, this was her new home. After my gym session, I headed straight back to my room which was now our room, I smiled even as I thought of the fact that my room no longer belonged to me. When I got to the room Elena was awake and she was cleaning the room. I loved the fact that she had some home training but I wasn't going to allow my mate to fulfill a duty that had been assigned to an omega. I could never stand by and watch her degrade not o
ELENA’S POV I had been in Lukas’ mansion for almost two weeks now and nothing had changed, he was still treating me like I was either his child or his possession. He still knew that I didn’t wnat to be here and yet he chose to not let me go, it was obvious that he didn’t care about me. What had I expected from a man like him, he was cruel and the only thing he knew in life was only to please himself. The longer I stayed with him the more I hated him. However, despite the hate that I kept showering him with, he still seemed to have hope that one day I would willingly offer myself to him. To some degree, he even seemed to try to make me like him by doing things he thought I would like. In a weird way, I could see that he was a caring and loving man but he just wasn’t the man for me and that was just something that he would have to accept and realize.I hadn't made any friends in the mansion and that was all thanks to the fact that Lukas had been keeping me locked in his room. At first,
LUKAS’ POVHow could she betray me like that? I considered the fact that she wanted to go back home as a betrayal because she was acting like I hadn’t been good to her. She was acting like I was an abusive mate to her. I hated how ungrateful she was being, I was trying my best to make her feel at home and even going the extra mile of making sure that I didn’t make her do anything she didn’t want to do. I hadn’t forced myself on her as yet, even though the main reason I had brought her here was so that she could give me babies. I felt very betrayed by her right now. It was a good thing that I left the room and ended the conversation because there was no telling what I could have done if I hadn’t.I decided to keep my distance from her for the rest of the night because I didn’t want anything else that would upset me and I didn’t want to end up doing something that I didn’t want to do. Why couldn’t she just understand that I just wanted to make her happy and I wanted her to be happy with
ELENA’S POVLukas had done his best to keep his distance from me and he had made it pretty clear that he didn’t think me going to visit my family was a good idea. However, I just didn’t understand why he felt so threatened by me just spending time with my family. I was sure that he wouldn’t send me away on my own. How could he even think that I could outsmart his guards? Unless, of course, he didn’t think that his guards were competent enough to do what they were expected to do. Even though I didn’t think that they would send me away on my own, I still hoped that he would. I hoped that he would choose to trust me enough to let me visit my parents without anyone escorting me and in that way he would prove not only his love but also his trust in me. This was exactly how I intended on pleading my case the moment he got into the room.I knew that he was upset after I spoke to him yesterday, but I wasn’t about to let this conversation end without me getting what I wanted. I was going to gi
LUKAS’ POVI decided that it was best if I just let her go and visit her parents because her voice was starting to get very irritating to me. I didn’t like the fact that she had decided to make it her mission to annoy me each time she lay her eyes on me. Letting her visit them was not only going to give me a piece of mind, but it was also going to save her from a lot too.Of course, I wasn't about to allow her to go out there on her own, I wasn’t about to take the risk of allowing her to go back to her pack unaccompanied. I wanted her to go with one of my guards to make sure that she and her parents wouldn’t try anything funny. I didn’t want any of them to even think that she could stay there and not come back. I must admit that I was a little unsettled with her away from me. I had sent the guard with her but that didn’t make me feel any better and at this point I realized that I should have gone with her myself. I knew that I was the only one who could control her and I didn’t even w
ELENA’S POV After hearing Lukas’ voice, I was literally trembling. I regretted coming back home after I ran away, but I had hopes that my mother would fight for me to stay after I had told them how I was being treated. I realized that I had nowhere else to go besides home. I had the choice of running away from home and becoming a rogue or going back to my parents and making them understand. I felt that the only reasonable choice that I had at that point was to just go back home and make it work with my father. It was best if I asked her to forgive me for running away from Lukas and maybe we could all leave and find a place we could call home somewhere else. I knew that I was just stretching my dreams at this point, but I couldn’t bear the thought of being a lone wolf knowing that I had a family. Maybe if I showed my mother that I was brave she would finally stand up to my father and defend me. I longed for my mother to defend me and tell him that what they were doing was wrong. Befor
LUKAS’ POV I woke up a little earlier than I usually did the following morning because I just couldn’t wait to see Elena. I wanted to take her back home and it was as if I was also afraid that if I took my time seeing her she would run away again and this was a fear that I wasn’t ready to share with anyone else. It wasn’t like there was anyone that I could share what I was going through with Elena in this palace. I didn’t like it when my subjects thought that I was a weak alpha who was ruled by emotions and I didn’t want it to seem like I didn’t know what I was doing when it came to Elena. Loving a woman the way I loved Elena was a very dangerous thing because she had a power over me that she still hadn't come to terms with yet. If Elena asked for someone's head from me I would gladly give it to her and, because of the way she was behaving, I was certain that if she recognized this power my life and my pack would definitely be in danger.“Where are you off to so early in the morning?
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
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
