Elena POV“You can't do this! I am your mate! Your Luna!” I screamed at Rex, the only man I have ever loved. “In which world do you think that what you are doing makes any sense?!”“In my world!” He thundered. “I can do what I want, when I want, however I want. And right now, I want you gone from my pack.”“The pack will never accept this-” I shouted at him in pain, hurt and anger.“I am their Alpha! They will accept what I want them to or they will leave.” He growled at me.“Why are you doing this, Rex? What possible reason could you have for doing this?” I cried as I collapsed to my feet.“These are my reasons. And I don't have to explain them to you. Just make sure that you are out of this pack before sunrise.”“It is because of her, isn't it?” I ask brokenly. “Maya. You told me that there was nothing going on between you two. That it was all in the past, you told me not to worry. You liar!” I screamed at Maya for betraying me with her deceptive lies.“There is no point screaming a
Rex POVFive Years Later……..“You are late.”Those were the first words that I heard at the moment I walked into the mansion.Tilting my head to look into the living room, I saw my mother sitting in the dark, waiting for me.Like a creep.“It is also two o'clock in the midnight, and you are just getting in”. She said with a scowl.The same scowl that is always present on her face whenever she was talking to me.Ever since Elena left.No, ever since I told her to leave.“I told you, I have things to do,” I said as I turned to leave.“Did you find her?” She demanded, with her voice cold.I can't help but wince at it.I get it.I messed up.And I am trying to make up for it by searching for her.I have been chasing her down every year, whispers, suspicions, or sightings of her but it has all come to nothing.Just like tonight and every other night.“No, mother. I didn't. It was a false lead, I didn't find any clue to her whereabouts”. I answered.She sniffed with disdain as she got up to
Rex POV“What is this I hear about you finding Elena?” My mum asked as she barged into my office.“Mum, you know that you could have at least knocked?” I asked by way of response.“Don't play with me, boy? Where is she?”Boy.Like, what the hell! As if I am still some eight year old kid that broke his vase, oh well.“New Kingston”. I answered as I signed a document, handed it to my Secretary, and then looked up at her.At her fifty five years old, my mother is still a beauty.There were no gray strands of her in her mane of full Auburn hair, beautifully styled and cuffed by the nape of her neck, she had the same color as my eyes but with a tanner skin and no signs of aging.I suppose that was thanks to our wolf genes.“If she is all the way over there, why are you still here and not on a plane?”“Because.”“Because what?”“Because… there are some… things to be cleared on my desk before I go see her”. I answered.“Some… some things to take care of? Rex! Are you listening to yourself? T
Elena POV“I am imagining this”. I muttered to myself. “I have to be imagining this.”I stood with my mouth wide opened in shock as a pair of wolf cubs had made a mess of my living room.Suffice it to say, this was not normal.I mean, for a while now, a lot of things have not been normal in my life, not since the twins were born but this takes the cake.Wolves, werewolves are only able to transform on their sixteenth birthday.This is to allow them to bear the pain of transformation while also having the ability to control their urges.So, why, pray tell, are my four - nearly five - years old children in wolf form?There was no warning, no inkling that they were going into transformation.I had left them asleep on the waterproof mattress and came back only to see the room flooded, glass broken, and two cubs having a tug of war with one of my silk pillows.I got down to my knees slowly, hands outstretched as I called out to them.“Kanu, Kiana, come to mummy now. Come now.”At my voice,
Elena's POV.I couldn't bring myself to believe how Rex had tracked me down. I felt my world pause for a while as all I could recall at that very point was how he had ordered me to leave his pack for good. I felt this hurting pain in my chest as I looked at how he crouched to their level. "Does he know those are his children?" I mumbled within as his gaze was still locked to mine. It was obvious. They had this striking resemblance with him. I groaned even more as I looked at him. All the screams, the laughter of children and the conversations of adults all turned to some low pitched, unclear sound. All my ears could process were the voices in my head. And I could still hear his voice so clear in my head when he had asked me to leave his pack for good. I could still hear the voice of Maya as well. And now, seeing him reopened the old wound I struggled to move over from. "Elena?" Marie called out to me again as she shook me lightly, bringing me back to reality. "Are you alright?"
Rex's POV.I couldn't let go of her beautiful grey eyes. It was impossible falling asleep when finally, my search for her was over. How could I easily forget how beautiful she has gotten within the five years of being away? Her black, wavy hair was now more appealing to me and her scent, still seductive to me. Her slender body mesmerized me further, making me want to have her all to myself again. And I felt more happy playing with her kids as I saw the striking resemblance. They both looked just like me but then, I felt these sharp pains as I was stupid enough to chase her away. If only I was patient enough, I would have spent time with my kids while they were babies.I couldn't help but think about what exactly she must have told them about me. They were smart kids. "Why wouldn't they be?" I shrugged proudly as I complimented their smartness as a quality they had taken from Elena and I."How did you know our mummy?" I could still hear Kanu's voice in my head and the answer I gave
Elena’s POV.I still couldn't stop thinking about yesterday. He was the last person I ever thought of seeing and most especially, I couldn't help but worry how long they have been watching me. “How did he know of my two adorable twin angels?” I scowled agonizingly as I did the dishes. It was completely impossible to think straight right now. I had dropped them off at school an hour ago now, the only thing I could think of was running away secretly again. I wasn't ready to face him yet. “What about Maya?” “Did they break up?” I felt this joy linger within me as I shook it off. “Why was it a thing to be happy about?” I cursed within as I rinsed the plates.“Elena?” Marie's voice pulled me back to reality as I cleaned my hands. “Oh! Marie.” I mumbled as I feigned a smile. “You didn't go to work today?” I questioned as I looked at her. “Work?” She said disappointedly, shaking her head as she rubbed her forehead with her right hand. “What exactly is wrong with you, Elena? How do you e
Rex's POV."Good morning, Rex. Is there any good news?" Alice asked the moment she picked the call."Good news?" I chuckled softly. "Do you think Elena would easily let me back into her life?" I scowled. "I saw her yesterday but then, I could tell she wasn't happy seeing me and she took the kids away from me." I responded as I arranged my hair. "What else do you expect? You caused this. I warned you from the beginning. Better don't get back here without my beautiful daughter in-law and her two little, adorable kids." She said in a threatening tone. "Kanu and Kiana." I muttered with a smile as I had flashbacks of them. "What!?" She asked in a confused tone. "Oh! She named them Kanu and Kiana." I answered with a smile on my face. "They are just 4 years old, and they look too big and healthy." I muttered.It was something beautiful and I wished I had watched them grow this big and smart. It was obvious that she was perfectly fine without me. "And how do you intend to get her back?"
Logan's POV "He knows something about your brother's demise. He wouldn't tell me." Uncle. Jayson muttered as he raised his eyebrows, looking right into my eyes.I felt my feet grow cold instantly as I heard those words. My eyes went wild in my greatest horror. "Knew about my brother's demise?" I shrugged before standing upright as I stared back at him. "What do you mean by 'that scoundrel knows about my brother's demise ' huh?" I cursed as I wrapped my right hand in a fist. He remained quiet as he looked at me. He wore a broad smile on his face before walking away, leaving just me on the balcony.I couldn't help but follow him from behind. "And how sure are you that he knows who the killer is?" I asked as I stood a few steps away from Jayson.He paused as he stood still for a while before turning around to look at me. He pushed in his hands inside his pockets as he continued staring at me. "Why shouldn't I trust him?" He questioned."How am I to know?" I scowled in defense as I tr
Owen's POV."Fantastic, isn't it?" I scowled the moment I saw Jayson Holmes walk into the pack house. I couldn't help but jolt up immediately. "First, it was Collins Morgan and secondly, it's your uncle, Jayson, walking into the founder's banquet with the one man who is here for revenge. Isn't that awesome?" I whined as I turned to look at Logan who still had his full shock on his face. "This isn't good, trust me!!" Jack mumbled as he also got up as he looked at Jayson who was now in a chit chat with his father. "Okay. Cool, he is now looking at us and why in God's name is he smiling at me?" Peterson cursed as he rolled his eyes. "Not you actually." I snapped as I stepped forward. "He is definitely up to something and we mustn't play to his tone." I shrugged as I turned back. "He was able to come in because of my uncle. I will have my father throw him out." Logan scowled angrily as he quickly turned around in a bid to walk away. "No!!" I gasped out as I saw Collins stretched out
Jayson's POV."Who am I?" He said with a grin as he looked at me. "Am I scaring you already? Come on, you don't have to be scared of me." He smirked as he looked at me. Seeing his broad smile that spread widely on his face did nothing than to piss me off. "I know. I know this look, Jayson. I know you don't find me cool yet, and trust me, it's fine. I am not your enemy here." He shrugged as he looked at me. "You expect me to trust you?" He chuckled as he looked at me. "Right from the start, all you have done is put me in denial. How do you expect me to believe you, or even trust you over my own family?" I scoffed as I stared at him. "Fine!!" He sneered as he looked away for a while. "But..." He said as he paused, saying nothing further again, rather than staring at me. I turned around as I looked at him. "What again? Haven't you messed up the last few hours of my day? How long do you intend doing it? How long do you plan on ruining my day?" I scowled angrily as I looked at him. O
Jayson's POV."Hello, Jayson." Grace snarled angrily the moment I answered her call. "Where are you, for crying out loud?" She scowled angrily as I could hear her pacing about in her room."Come on, Grace. Can you just at least calm down?" I sneered as I opened the can soda that was in the car. "How do you expect me to calm down, Jayson?" She fired at me aggressively and angrily. "For how many years now, you haven't attended the banquet and finally you showed up unexpectedly and now, it's almost time for the party to begin and you are nowhere to be seen." She scowled."I wonder how red your cheeks would be now since you don't want to calm down." I chuckled softly as I turned to look at Collins who was looking at the road. I rolled my eyes as I continued with my call. "You just have to give me a few minutes and I will be there. I told you that I won't be missing this year's founder's banquet. It's a very important ceremony for the continuous blessings of the moon goddess upon our cla
Collins' POV. "The only path you spoiled was getting into the fun even before it started." I said as I rolled my eyes. "Maybe, next time you can stop being too curious, Holmes." I said as I squatted down, mounting more pressure on his right fingers, causing him to groan. "And... ahem." I cleared my throat as I smirked. "You mentioned tearing me from limb to limb. Isn't that not too generous, Jayson?" I scoffed as I looked at him.And I could feel my wolf jumping in excitement in our joint victory. "Happens that I am always one step ahead. Zach Holmes will be coming in today and alongside, three of your siblings who least expect you to be alive, Violet Holmes, Claire Holmes and your diabolic, psychopathic, younger brother, David Holmes." I mentioned their names as I looked away, leaving him to his own bewilderment.He went numb completely as he looked at me. "Surprised?" I chuckled. "You don't have to be, okay?" I snapped as I looked at him. "Actually, my beta knows his job pretty
Collins' POV."Who are you?" Jayson furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at me who was neatly seated down directly opposite him. "Come on!" Collins smirked as he looked at Jayson. "You look scared. Anything to hide?" He chuckled softly as he said calmly, still maintaining eye contact with Jayson who couldn't get his eyes off him yet."I should be asking you." Jayson responded coldly as he looked at me. I had no better option than to wear a broad smile on my face. Letting him know that I had my fears was the last thing I could ever do now. "Well, I have nothing to hide." I scoffed as I got up from the wooden chair I have been sitting down on. "You know, I must commend you, Jay... Jayson Holmes." I said in a pause intentionally, as I walked down to where Jayson was seated."You gave it your best shot but you should know, I am always one step ahead." I smirked as I looked at Jayson.I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked away at the dusty table. The cottage was pretty old and abandoned and
Collins' POV."Are you okay, boss?" Ace asked as he looked at me. "Sure. I am okay, Ace." I muttered with a visible grin on my face. "Guess someone will be paying us a visit today." I shrugged as I looked at Ace. I stepped down from my motorcycle as I walked back inside the house. "Dahlia, my sweetheart." I said as I held her right arm. "Why don't you go shower and get dressed?" I mumbled as I wore a broad smile."What is wrong?" She furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at my eyes like she was trying to dig out the answer to her question. "Nothing." I answered briefly as I looked at her. "But I am trying to prepare breakfast." She sneered as she looked at me."I know, Dahlia. Don't you want to pay Owen a visit?" I shrugged as I smiled one sidedly as I looked at her.Ace remained there, lost completely as he couldn't figure out what I was trying to do.She stopped everything she was doing as she looked at me. "Owen? What are you trying to do here?" She chuckled as she looked at me.
Collins' POV.I finally had the strength to get up. Everything was tiring but then, if I wanted this to work, I needed to keep working and I was already more than fascinated by Elena Toussaint. I got up from my bed as the sun ray that passed through the curtains made it impossible for me to continue my sleep. "Fuck!!" I groaned as I looked at my alarm clock. "8:00 am already? Must this fucking time always be in a haste?" I cursed as I threw it against the wall, causing it to break. I wasn't a fan of setting an early morning alarm clock. If I am to be punctual, then I will be and if I am to be late, then I will. I walked inside my bathroom as I brushed my teeth and then had my shower. I stepped out from the bathroom after cleaning my body, then walked inside my closet, which was a small room filled with black wardrobes and black cabinets that reached my waist.For some reason, I enjoyed wearing my boots but then, it was just another working day, and I had to go for something light
Jayson's POV"We have a lot to talk about, Jayson." Alphonso said in a cold voice as he looked at me. He forced out a smile before looking at the ladies. "I see you folks are having a great ladies' time together." He grinned as he looked at Grace who looked sober now."Come on, Grace. Why the sober look now? What is wrong again?" He shrugged as he walked down to where Grace stood."You should be happy that he is finally home, and not keep this sober face of yours. At least, he would be joining in the banquet." He shrugged as he pecked her forehead."Now, go on, Grace. Smile." He mumbled as he smiled broadly, making Grace force out a smile. I still couldn't get my eyes for so long from Emilia and whenever I turned to her direction, she was fast enough to roll her eyes away. I expected nothing much either. I knew that I was definitely going to be the last person she would ever want to set her eyes on again."You can choose to tag along with me or, you stay and spend some time with yo
