Eleanor’s POVI woke up with my scream reverberating through the room, my heart pounded against my chest like a wild drumbeat. The remnants of the nightmare clung to my mind, leaving me breathless and disoriented. My body trembled uncontrollably as a cold sweat coated my skin, making me shiver despite the warmth of my blankets.My eyes darted around the dimly lit room, searching for any signs of danger. Shadows danced menacingly on the walls, casting eerie shapes that only fueled my imagination. Every creak and rustle in the room felt like a malicious presence lurking in the darkness, waiting to pounce on me.I clutched the sheets tightly, seeking solace in their familiar touch. My breath came in short, ragged gasps as if my lungs were desperately trying to catch up with the racing rhythm of my heartbeat. I could feel the weight of my fear pressing down on me, threatening to suffocate me in its tightened grip.Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. The overwhelming sense of v
Eleanor’s POVI slowly opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the sunlight piercing through the window. Suddenly I felt a warmth surrounding me, a comforting embrace that made my heart skip a beat. Confusion clouded my sleepy mind for a moment, I turned my head quickly and my eyes widened in surprise. It was King Derek, his strong arms wrapped around me pulling me even closer.We must have fallen asleep talking I thought to myself. A shy smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I realized the closeness between us. I could feel his steady heartbeat against my back, the rise and fall of his chest with each breath. I wasn't expecting him to still be on my bed till now, yet it filled me with a sense of contentment that I couldn't deny.Blushing slightly, I shifted in his arms to face him directly, my eyes fixed on his face as I watched him sleep. With a mixture of shyness and curiosity, I reached up and gently brushed a lock of hair away from his face. My touch was gentle, afraid to wake hi
Eleanor's POV"It's a beautiful day" I muttered to myself, inhaling and exhaling the cool breeze of the morning. I woke very early today and was feeling very energetic so I decided to give myself a detailed tour around the palace. Since King Derek has finally allowed me to walk freely around the palace."Baby, mama will be back soon," I said to my baby giving him a gentle Peck on the cheeks. I turned to the maid to notify her that I was going out for a quick stroll before heading out.As I walked through the grand halls of the palace, my eyes were filled with wonder and awe. The intricate details of the architecture, from the ornate columns to the delicate carvings on the walls, spoke of a rich history and regal elegance.I paused for a moment taking in the breathtaking view before me, At that moment, I felt a deep appreciation for the beauty that surrounded me.As I continued my exploration, I entered a vast courtyard, surrounded by lush gardens. The vibrant blooms danced in the gent
Eleanor's POVIt has been days since I was kidnapped. I laid down on my bed, lost in thought. I was kidnapped by a stranger, but I felt so close to him like I knew him before, but I just didn't know how. I heaved a sigh as I turned to face my baby, who was sleeping peacefully. My mind wandered off to Zora. She must have looked all over the place for me, but could not get to me. I thought. I was restricted access to a phone. I would have called her to let her know where I was held captive. Even if I could get through to her, I doubt if she would be able to help me get out of this place. It might just result in her being kidnapped as well, and I didn't want that to be her case too. I thought. The door suddenly opened, jolting me from my reverie. I turned around towards the door to see who came in. A maid walked in with a tray in her hand. She had brought me food. She walked slowly towards me, dropping the tray beside the side stool as she bowed. She turned around almost immediately to
Eleanor's POVI could not help but stare at the perfect creature standing before me. He walked towards me slowly and his hand patting his hair to the back. I instantly felt attracted to him. He moved towards me as he looked at me directly into my eyes. It was as if his eyes were piercing through mine. I stood there dumbfounded as I could not say a sentence. “What's wrong?” He asked in his deep voice, lowly, sending shivers down my spine. His voice made me tremble under his intense gaze. I could not do anything but stare at the perfect creature that stood before me. He moved closer to me and this time, I could hear his heartbeat. I blinked rapidly as my breath became faster. My heart raced faster. I took a deep breath as I looked up to meet his gaze. He looked at me with hunger in his eyes. He stood there for a moment before asking again.“Is everything okay?” He asked in a low tone, but I was still lost in thought as I could not get my mind off him. I felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
Eleanor's POVI stood there shocked as his lips carefully kissed mine deeply, still holding my hand, he stopped kissing and looked me in the eyes. I could not take my eyes off him either as I looked at him ready to kiss him again. I felt a shiver running through my body. I didn't mind that he was my captor, but I felt the kind of strong attraction towards him that I could not explain. I breathed shallowly as we stared at each other for a moment, and he brought forward his hand to push my hair away from my face. He was towering over me, and I did not know when I stood on my toes to kiss him softly on the lips he slowly moved his hand back to my ass, squeezing it gently, making me squeal lowly. He stopped kissing for a moment as he looked into my eyes as if he were trying to find something. He brought his lips closer to mine again, kissing me slowly. He trailed his kisses from my lips, down to my neck, giving me soft kisses there. I closed my eyes as I was engrossed in the blissful fe
Eleanor’s POVI lay down there with my eyes closed not wanting to wake up to the reality of King Derek’s naked body wrapped around me tightly. I could feel his warm breath on my body, which sent shivers down my spine. He pulled me closer and gave me a soft peck on the cheeks, my eyes were still closed but somehow he knew I was awake. “You have all the time in the word Eli, so take your time” King Derek whispered softly in my ears, his deep voice was electrifying causing me to tremble under his embrace, I could bet he had a wide grin on his face as he traces his fingers down my waistline, my heartbeat increased rapidly matching the steady rhythm of his own.As I lay there, replaying the warmth of our intimate moment, a wave of shyness washed over me, making it nearly impossible to meet King Derek's gaze. My cheeks burned with a soft blush, betraying the mix of emotions swirling within me. It was as if my heart had taken flight, fluttering wildly in my chest.Every fiber of my being fe
Ethan's POV"Anything yet?" I asked the spy whom I had asked to keep an eye on King Derek Pack."Nothing yet my lord, they haven't said anything about retaliating" he replied nodding his head negatively.I stood up from sitting and walked towards the window tapping my hands on my lap restlessly. Ever since that disastrous attempt to attack King Derek's pack, my mind has been consumed by worry. The weight of my failure hangs heavy on my shoulders, but it's not just the shame that keeps me awake at night. It's the fear of what comes next. I can't shake the nagging thought that King Derek will retaliate, seeking revenge for my act. I have placed my men at every corner of the palace but I don't feel like I have done enough for Every rustle of the wind, every distant howl, sends shivers down my spine. I find myself constantly on edge, my senses heightened, listening for any sign of impending danger. I can't help but replay the events of that fateful day over and over in my mind. The clas
Eleanor's POVI breathed in and out inhaling the sweet unique air of the human world, I never knew how much I missed being here until now."We are almost there, I am so excited," I said happily to King Derek, as we drove into Zora's neighborhood, my heart raced with anticipation King Derek had granted my wish of going to the human world to Zora, I was so excited and I have anticipating this day for a very long time, I miss Zora so much and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. I know she might have been looking everywhere for me and my baby and she would be so happy to know that we are fine."We are going to see Aunty Zora soon," I said to my baby whose attention was on his feeders, I have finally stopped him from breastfeeding and decided to start giving him baby food, I can't have two people sucking my breast. "Here we are, remember Zora doesn't have to know anything out of the ordinary for her" kind Derek reminded me, he had told me not to tell Zora about our world to protect her
Eleanor's POV"Don't cry, little baby, mummy is here," I said to my son, who was crying loudly, I don't know why he was crying because I had fed him already. I guess he misses his father. "Do you want to see Dada?" I asked smiling, he paused and looked at me for a while before he continued.As I sat there, gently patting my son's back, a wave of happiness washed over me. Weeks had passed since King Derek's victorious battle against Ethan, and the memory still filled my heart with pride and gratitude.I looked down at my son, his tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and couldn't help but smile. He was a testament to the strength and love that King Derek and I shared. His presence was a constant reminder of the triumph we had achieved together. Who would have thought I would be this problem-free? All my life I have been facing problems upon problems, from the death of my parent to losing my memory to the torture I faced at the hands of Ethan, and finally those problems are long gone all t
King Derek's POVMy body was boiling with anger as I heard Ethan say those words, I knew there was no way he would let Eleanor and my baby go scot-free, but I was just engaging in the conversation to buy time.Ethan thought he had the upper hand now, but what he didn't know was that I was expecting his attack on my pack, and I was prepared for him."Ethan there is no way I am going to let you harm my son, I will die before I would let that happen" I yelled back at him angrily."And what are you going to do about King Derek, it's already too much. I have your pack surrounded and my men are already taking your people hostage" he replied proudly, with a smile on his face.Just then I saw Lucas my beta behind him, I kept my cool and continued to beg him so he wouldn't notice, but suddenly his expression changed, I think he felt a figure behind him but as soon as he was about to turn my beta hit him of the neck with his sword and he fell on the floor releasing his grip on Eleanor.Eleanor

Ethan’s POVAs I stormed towards Eleanor's cage angrily, my anger intensified, it was like a storm brewing inside me. I felt like my blood was boiling, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I could feel the heat rising, and my muscles tensing up with every passing second.My fists clenched tightly, with my knuckles turning white as I struggled to contain the overwhelming fury that was about to consume me. It was like a volcano ready to erupt, threatening to unleash my destructive power.I got to her cage and flung the door open violently, she was coiled up in the cage shaking, which made me furious. Every little thing seemed to fuel my anger, making it grow stronger and more uncontrollable. My mind was filled with thoughts of frustration and resentment towards Eleanor, and it felt like a storm cloud was hovering above me, ready to burst with thunder and lightning.I dragged her by her hair and pulled her out of the cage. The only thought in my head was to kill Eleanor, to strangle th
Ethan's POV"Ethan please let me go!" Eleanor yelled trying to break free of my hold on her."Shut up,!" I yelled as I gave her a very dirty slap, she fell to the ground and I warned her. "Don't test my patience, Eleanor, I am not in a good mood and I will take that aggression out on you," I said angrily as I dragged her by her hair and threw her into the cage violently.I feel so much anger and hatred towards Eleanor and the only reason why she is still alive is because I needed leverage against King Derek, I wish that maid hadn't escaped with her son, I would have killed him first. "My Lord, I brought devastating news," said the guard who had come in earlier, as much as I was not in the mood for chit-chat, I felt like I needed to listen to him to know what was happening at my pack."Speak then, or should I beg you first" I yelled rudely, trying to control my anger."King Derek attacked the pack and took a lot of hostages," he said avoiding my gaze completely."What!" As I heard the
Eleanor's POVI woke up suddenly, feeling hazy and dizzy at the same time. I held my head tightly and winced in response to the pain I felt. I laid down on the floor there, and I tried to sit up and rest my back against the wall. I sat against the wall, still holding my head tightly as the pain intensified. I took a deep breath as I rubbed my forehead slowly, wiping my face with my palm. My heart pounded harder as my breath raced faster. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.Something was unusual. There was no noise from the pack house. No noise from maids doing their activities and also the palace workers going about too. I suddenly opened my eyes, looking around the room. It felt like my eyes were shrouded with a dark cloud, but they became familiar with the environment after a moment. I looked around in shock to find out I was in a new cell. How did I get here? I asked in my thoughts. I managed to stand up from where I sat, going toward the door slowly. I banged
King Derek's POV I gave Lucas a straight stare as I heard what he said. I quickly put on my clothes, and we dashed out of the room, leaving my baby in his crib as he was still sleeping. Lucas stopped abruptly, clearing his throat as he exhaled deeply.“What about the baby?” He asked as he wore a concerned look on his face. “The maid will take care of him,” I replied calmly as I tilted my head to look at him, and we continued to walk in the direction of the yard. In no time, we were standing in the yard where the whole army was gathered with their weapons all set. They all bowed down in unison to greet me and I gestured, tilting my head to see all of them. I turned to Lucas, giving him a brief stare, gesturing to him to bring his ears.“What's the plan?” I whispered lowly into his ears. I leaned backward, looking directly into his eyes. He heaved a sigh as he pointed to the car that we should hop on the car. We walked to the car and the warriors chanted war songs. It reminded me of t
King Derek's POV“I…I.” She stuttered as her breath was shaky, pointing towards the room. I turned to look at the back, turning back to look at her, exhaling heavily.“You what?” I asked curiously as I looked puzzled. Lucas walked slowly towards the door, and the maid bowed as he approached. She was trembling obviously, as her hands were shaky when she pointed into the room again. “The baby.” She managed to say as she pointed again. I turned to look in the direction of his crib. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. “What happened to him?” Lucas asked curiously as he looked at the maid with a straight face, making me turn towards her. I walked towards the baby to check on him as I did not understand what the maid was saying there. He was still sleeping as I tapped him gently. I heaved a sigh as I tilted my head to look towards the door. “She has not fed him tonight,” Lucas said aloud, and I chuckled dryly. She walked into the room swiftly in our direction, checking on the baby. I im
