Eleanor’s POVI lay on the soft couch, deep in thought, thinking about my life back at the Lycan King’s Park. I wondered how Derek reacted to the news of my death. Did he kill my parents? Was running away really a good idea? I lay down there with so many unanswered thoughts. I stood up from the couch looking around for something to do cause I was bored and tired of laying there all day, I spotted the books arranged on the shelf, I picked one of the books and glanced through. Just then I heard a knock on the door, I ran toward the door with excitement and swung it open. “Zora what took you so long!” I said excitedly as I hugged Zora before collecting the grocery bag from her hands.“I am sorry Eli, the traffic is always bad at this time of the year, did you miss me?” she asked with a smile on her face.“Of course I did I was so bored, I almost read a book” I replied jokingly and we both burst out laughing. “Guess what we are having for dinner,” Zora said as we both walked into the ki
Ethan's POV I couldn't believe it. I had this whole image in my head of Eleanor coming to me, tears streaming down her face, begging for forgiveness. But I never expected death to be the outcome. It hit me like a punch to the gut."Damn you, Eleanor," I muttered through clenched teeth, my fists tightly clenched at my sides. I turned to the spy who had delivered the news."You better not be messing with me," I warned, my anger burning in my eyes. "If this is some sick joke, you'll regret it."The spy remained unfazed, his expression as cold as stone. "I assure you, my lord, I conducted thorough research before delivering this news," he replied calmly. With that, he left me alone with my thoughts.I paced back and forth, my mind swirling with a mix of anger and sadness. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Eleanor couldn't just be gone like that. I wanted her to suffer, to feel my pain. Something didn't add up. I tried to piece together the puzzle, but my thoughts were a jumbled mess.Wh
Eleanor's POV I blinked my eyes as the wind from the cars passing by brushed against my face. I don't think I'll ever get used to this feeling, this feeling of freedom, I thought to myself, savoring the cold breeze."Hey, are you alright?" Zora asked, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yeah, I'm good," I replied, refocusing my attention on the bustling road.Spending time with Zora has been nothing short of amazing. I've been tagging along with her to school for months now, and it's been such a great experience. They let me come to school every day, even though I'm not officially enrolled. I've made some friends and learned so much about the human world which is fascinating.we arrived at the hospital in no time, and we made our way to the maternity ward for my doctor's appointment. Zora had suggested getting a scan since my pregnancy is starting to show a bit."Please have a seat here while I inform the doctor," a friendly lady in a white uniform said, motioning us toward the waiting
King Derek’s POVMy heart raced with a mix of emotions as I received the news about the attack on my pack. “Are you sure about this information?” I asked angrily as I turned to the spy who just told me that the people who poisoned my prisoners were about to make another attack."I am positive my lord," he responded, his face devoid of any emotion."And you're completely certain about the time and location?" I asked, wanting to ensure that my men wouldn't walk into a trap."I am completely sure, my lord. As we speak, they are preparing to attack your pack," the spy replied, remaining unfazed."Alright, you may take your leave," I said to him, and he stood up, bowing before exiting the room.Anger surged through my veins as I stood there, contemplating my next move. It appeared that King Ethan had no intention of backing down, the last time he succeeded in killing my prisoners but this time I wouldn't allow him to succeed in attacking my pack once more, I called for the head guard, so w
Eleanor’s pov"Dark hot coffee, with no sugar right?" I said, brimming with enthusiasm as I served the customer standing in front of me."Yeah, sure!" he replied, giving me a thumbs up."Coming right up!" I said, all excited, as I placed a clean cup under the coffee maker machine. "There you go," I handed over his cup of coffee to him."Thank you Eli the sweet coffee marker," he said with a smile, as he looked at the name tag on my apron."You are welcome, and please do have a nice day," I said to him excitedly before moving on to the next customer.It's been a week since I started working in the cafe, And I love it here, the welcoming atmosphere. The air was filled with the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, enticing my senses, The sound of gentle chatter and the clinking of cups created a pleasant background melody. The walls are adorned with local artwork, adding a touch of creativity to the space, everything about this place just feels right to me. Everyone has been so friendly
Eleanor’s POVI hurried down home after I saw the news on the billboard, I was scared and hoping it wasn't what I thought it was. My heart was racing and my body trembling as I walked up the stairs."Zora!" I called out to Zora immediately after I entered the house, she was sitting on the couch with a worried look on her face."Eli!" Zora said immediately after she heard my voice, she ran towards me and gave me a tight hug, I could see how tense she was and I guessed it was about the lady who went missing."You saw the news right?" I said to her after we broke out of the hug."Yes Eli, I saw it" Zora replied sadly leading my hands to the couch and we both sat down."I am scared Zora, it was close to this place," I said as my hands trembled under Zora's. I couldn't shake this feeling of uneasiness I was feeling."This wasn't the first Eli, she wasn't the first," Zora said sadly as she held onto my hands tightly as if trying to comfort herself."What do you mean this wasn't the first ti
Araceli’s POVI walked Into the room and sat down patiently waiting for King Derek in the place where we normally meet. I had set a meeting between us because I no longer understood what was going on.Since the death of Eleanor things haven't been going as well as planned, King Ethan has shut me up completely after I failed to sense if Eleanor was alive but I know he will come around because he will need me.King Derek on the other hand was the main problem because since the death of Eleanor, we haven't spoken so I don't know how badly her death affected him.“Hmmm” King Derek cleared his throat as soon as he walked into the room, I raised my head to look at him, and he looked pale and sad giving me my answer on how Eleanor’s death affected him.“King Derek, how are you doing, it's has been a while hasn't it?” I asked indulging him in a conversation.“Araceli! What do I owe this impromptu meeting,” King Derek asked ignoring my question.“King Derek, I haven't heard from you for a whi
King Derek POVI fluttered my eyes as the breeze from the window brushed through my face, and a surge of anger and irritation washed over me like a tidal wave. I stood up from the bed in annoyance wondering who dared to leave my window open.“Guards!’ I called out the guards that usually stand in front of my door.“Yes, my lord ” they replied in uniform as they ran into the room bowing their head to me.“What took you so long to answer my calls!” I yelled at them angrily.“Sorry, my lord, I didn't hear you called for us earlier” one of the guards dared to reply.“How dare you talk back at me, you are fired!” I barked at the guard who replied. “Leave my sight this instance” I added. I could see the fear on his as he ran out of the room immediately.“I am so so sorry my lord,” the other guard who was already whimpering in fear apologized bowing his head again.“Who dares to leave my window open?” I asked ignoring his apologies.“It’s Amanda, the maid in charge of your room, let me get h
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
