ELIANA

Axel emerged from the corner, his eyes scanning the hallway with an unnerving intensity. His gaze followed the path the stranger had taken, and for a fleeting moment, I thought I saw a flicker of recognition - in his eyes.

Axel's gaze shifted back to me, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, "Was anyone here?"

I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. My eyes darted around to the empty hallway as if searching for an answer. The stranger's sudden departure had left an uncomfortable silence, and I felt caught in the middle, unsure of what to reveal or conceal.

I opened my mouth to speak, but the words caught in my throat. Axel's intense stare made me feel like I was withholding a secret, even though I wasn't entirely sure what was going on.

"Ummm, no," I stammered, the words tumbling out before I could reconsider. I wasn't sure if I had just made a terrible mistake by lying, but it was the best I could come up with on short notice.

My mind was a jumble of conflicting emotions and

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Thirst For Blood

    AxelI slammed the plates into the kitchen cabinets, the clatter echoing through the room as I struggled to contain the anger boiling inside me. My hands trembled with rage, my fingers clenched into fists as I fought to maintain a fragile grip on my temper.Everything was going well. I hope Anastasia doesn't ruin it for me. If she does, I would thirst for the last of her blood.I gritted my teeth, my anger simmering just below the surface. I had thought my beta had everything under control, but now I wasn't so sure. One of them had escaped, and I had a sinking feeling that they might have made contact with her.I was certain it was Anastasia.She had chosen to keep secrets from me, to lie about the issues brewing within my own walls. The audacity was staggering. Once she left, I would confirm whether any of them had been involved, and if so, there would be consequences.Eliana's actions only made my suspicions stronger. Her deception and dishonesty were proof that I needed to take dra

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    History Was Made

    ***33 YEARS AGOThe sky was a deep, foreboding grey, like a physical manifestation of the unease that settled over the land. Just minutes ago, the sun had been out and clear on the Nightshade Pack's territory, warming the earth beneath their feet. But now, the air was electric with anticipation, the thunder booming and crackling through the air.It was a storm like no other, one that seemed to draw the very breath from the atmosphere. The pack's elders would later tell stories of a similar storm, one that had ravaged their lands centuries ago when the ruthless Lycan King Azrael had met his end.But this storm felt different. The thunder seemed to vibrate through every molecule of air, the lightning illuminating the dark clouds in eerie, pulsing flashes. The storm's intensity was palpable, and it seemed to be building towards something - a reckoning, a revelation, or a transformation that would change the Nightshade Pack's world forever.Sophia's faint shout echoed through the empty r

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Everyone Hates me

    ELIANAAxel's beta emerged from the corner, bowing slightly as he took in our surroundings. "Any issues?" Axel asked.His stern face was back, his expression unreadable. "No," his beta replied, his voice low. “But there is some information I want to pass”“Okay, go on.”The beta leaned in closer to Axel, presumably to whisper the details in his ear. But Axel's gaze never left mine. Instead, he commanded, "Spill."His voice was firm and authoritative, filling the space around us. It was as if he didn't care if I heard the conversation or not.My heart sank. Was it my father? Had they finally caught up with me? But before I could worry more, the news was released: "The Alpha of the Nightshade Pack is making his new mate Luna."My heart dropped like a stone. Axel's gaze locked onto mine, searching for my reaction. I tried to appear strong, to mask my emotions, but a sharp pain pierced my chest, threatening to expose my true feelings."The Luna ceremony will be held in the next full moon,

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    HER

    AXEL I needed her to feel at ease around me, to trust me implicitly, and to obey my every command without hesitation. That's what I craved. She smiled back at me, revealing her flawless teeth, and for a moment, I felt a spark of excitement; this wasn't just going to be another revenge; it would be an exciting journey.I couldn't help but wonder why that asshole had left her. The new Luna, the woman I'd seen earlier, was a far cry from the genuine article. All she seemed to care about was power, and it was painfully obvious. The fool probably thought she loved him, but I wasn't buying it.It was laughably obvious, and yet he claimed to be an alpha? It was a joke. He couldn't even detect the most basic of manipulations, and that was a pathetic display of leadership. What a shame.Perhaps fate had other plans; events had fallen in order to bring her into my life at the perfect moment. It was as if fate itself had conspired to deliver her into my hands, and I couldn't help but feel a sen

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Nightmare

    ELIANAI sprinted for my life, desperate to escape the two enormous wolves hot on my heels. With every passing second, they closed in, their panting growing louder. My heart racing, I pushed my legs to their limit, but they felt like lead, threatening to buckle beneath me. Refusing to give in, I summoned every last ounce of strength and kept running.Although the larger wolf was closing in on me, I found myself fixated on the smaller one. Despite the bigger wolf's proximity, I felt a greater sense of fear towards the smaller one.Just as the larger wolf was about to pounce, I braced myself for impact. But instead of attacking me, it gently swept me up in its thick, luxurious blue fur. The unexpected tenderness brought instant relief, soothing the temporary pain and leaving me stunned.We thought we'd escaped, the large blue-furred wolf and I fleeing together from the relentless pursuit of the smaller wolf. But soon, the smaller wolf caught up, and to my shock, the tables turned. The l

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    I Want To Stay Here Forever

    ELIANAAxel reappeared in an instant, his eyes scanning the room as he took in the scene. "What's wrong?" he asked, his brow furrowed with concern.I was still gasping for breath, my chest heaving up and down. Axel's gaze locked onto mine, and he sat down beside me on the bed, his movements fluid and gentle. He shifted closer, his presence a comforting warmth that enveloped me.Axel's hand gently lifted my chin, guiding my gaze to meet his. I was certain he could see the fear lingering in my eyes, but he searched for something more. "What happened?" he asked again, his tone laced with concern, yet edged with a hint of frustration that I wasn't opening up to him. His eyes seemed to bore into mine."I... I had a nightmare," I admitted, feeling an overwhelming urge to rest my head on Axel's chest, but hesitating, unsure if it was too intimate.Axel's brow arched in curiosity. "A nightmare, huh? What happened in the nightmare, exactly?" he pressed, his eyes locked onto mine.Just as I was

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Morning Bath

    ELIANAI slowly opened my eyes to find the morning sun peeking through the gap in the curtains. It was morning already? The day seemed to have flown by, with the night feeling eerily short. I stretched languidly, feeling the comfort of the bed, and trying to shake off the sense of urgency that had settled in my mind.The heat was oppressive, making a morning bath a necessity. I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, but as I reached for the doorknob, I found it wouldn't budge - the door was locked. Confusion etched on my face, I wondered, "Didn't I just...?" But my train of thought faltered, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.I had just used the bathroom last night; how come it was locked? Was the door knob spoilt or something… I thought.A knock on the door broke the silence, and I called out, "Come in." A woman entered, her smile faltering for a moment before she regained her composure. I could tell it was forced."Good morning, ma'am," she said, her tone p

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Obsessed With My Prey

    AXELI couldn't help but stare at her, my throat dry as I took in the sight of her body. The more I looked, the more captivated I became. It was a cruel irony - I despised her, yet I couldn't deny the allure of her body. I do not.For the first time, I saw a spark of anger in her eyes, and I found myself drawn to it. I hoped this newfound fire would burn brighter, replacing the weakness I'd grown accustomed to seeing.I took a step closer, my hands reaching out to her… She moved away, her eyes never leaving mine. "You sure you don't want it?" I asked, my voice low."I don't," she replied, the spark in her eyes still burning bright. It was new, and I had to admit, I liked it.Her gaze drifted down my body, and I could sense her attraction. I mean, who wouldn't?"I'm sorry," I said, shifting back, "guess you don't want to cheat on your precious alpha."Her brow furrowed, irritation etched on her face. "And who is my precious alpha?" she asked, her tone laced with sarcasm.I couldn't he

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Suffocated

    ELIANA I stumbled and staggered, my vision blurring as the room spun around me. What was going on? I was a werewolf, for crying out loud! It took a lot to get me intoxicated , and yet...and yet I felt like I was going to pass out. That herbal drink must have been ridiculously strong, I thought, trying to remember what had happened. I recalled...and A drink that must have been laced with something powerful, because now I was paying the price. My head was pounding, my senses were dulled, and I felt like I was floating on a cloud. Not good. This was so not good.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Was it for me to submit to him? The one who had always made my instincts go on high alert? I had always resisted his dominance, refused to back down. But now, in this state, I felt vulnerable, exposed. The drink seemed to be clouding my judgment, making me question my own strength. No, I told myself, trying to shake off the fogginess. I will not submit. I am a werewolf, a strong and p

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    It’s Time

    AXELI'd made up my mind, and nothing was going to change it - I was going to get her, no matter the cost, no matter the danger, no matter the obstacles that stood in my way. My determination was unwavering, my resolve unshakeable. I was willing to risk everything to make sure she was safe, to make sure she was mine. The thought of her in harm's way, of her being hurt or exploited, was unbearable. I had to act, and I had to act now.My feelings wouldn't be a hindrance, wouldn't cloud my judgment or weaken my resolve. Instead, I would use them to fuel my actions, to drive me forward. Bringing her closer to me was essential, a crucial step in facilitating my plan. By having her near, I could ensure her safety, protect her from those who sought to harm her. And as I drew her deeper into my world, I would be one step closer to achieving my ultimate goal: making her mine.My feelings wouldn't be a hindrance, wouldn't cloud my judgment or weaken my resolve. Instead, I would use them to

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Strangled

    ElianaEverything went hazy and foggy, like a thick mist had rolled in, obscuring my vision and clouding my mind. I felt myself drifting away, disconnected from my body and surroundings. The last thing I remembered was the sensation of falling, but I didn't know what I was falling into. Then, nothing.My words slurred together, and my thoughts felt muddled and disjointed. I tried to speak, but my voice sounded distant and unclear, even to my own ears. My head spun, and the room seemed to tilt and sway around me, making me feel like I was floating on a sea of confusion. I struggled to focus, but my eyelids felt heavy, and my body felt limp and uncoordinated.I was vaguely aware of being lifted off the chair, and strong arms wrapped around me, holding me close. I tried to lift my head, to see who was carrying me, but it felt like it was made of lead. I caught a glimpse of a blurred face, but the features were indistinct. I strained my ears to hear the sound of a voice, but there was

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Perfect Opportunity

    ELIANA The perfect opportunity. The crowd had dispersed, and now it was just Herold and I, alone except for the quiet presence of the maids. The air was thick with tension as I locked eyes with Herold, my gaze piercing and cold. I could feel the weight of my anger and resentment bearing down on me, but I kept it in check, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. The maids, sensing the tension, kept their heads down, busying themselves with their tasks as they tried to blend into the background. But I knew they were aware of the dynamics at play here. They knew that something was about to go down. And I was ready to make my move.My eyes narrowed as I watched Herold approach, my mind racing with suspicion. What was he hiding? Why did he have so many female staff members surrounding him? It seemed... excessive. And then, a thought occurred to me. A thought that made my blood run cold. Was it possible that Herold was involved in something more sinister? Something that required a stead

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Needed My Prey

    AXELI stood in the empty hallway, my eyes wandering to the spaces where she used to be. I hated myself for it, but I couldn't deny the truth: I missed her presence around here. The way she used to move with quiet confidence, the way her eyes would sparkle when she thought no one was looking. It was all so... absent now. And I was left with this gnawing feeling of emptiness.As the Lycan King, I was supposed to be a force of nature, a being of raw power and instinct. But when it came to her, I felt like I was losing my grip on my primal instincts. I thought back to our last encounter, the way she had stood up to me, the way she had looked at me with such pity in her eyes. I couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of pride, knowing that I had been the one to bring out that spark in her.But now, she was gone, and I was left with nothing but the echoes of my own thoughts. I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. What was wrong with me? I was the ruler of the Lycans, and I couldn't

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Almost Time

    ELIANA I walked down the stairs, my eyes scanning the room below. As I descended, I noticed heads turning in my direction. I was supposed to feel flattered, and happy that I was drawing attention. But I didn't. Because it wasn't good attention. It was the kind of attention that made my skin crawl, that made me feel like a specimen on display. I could sense the whispers, the curious glances, and I knew that I was being sized up, judged, and found wanting. My heart sank, and I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me. I didn't want to be the center of attention, not like this. I just wanted to be left alone.As I walked into the living room, I was struck by the transformation that had taken place in just an hour. The room, which had been ordinary and unassuming earlier, now looked like a luxurious banquet hall. The decorations were elegant and understated, with soft lighting and intricate arrangements that added a touch of sophistication to the space. Soft music played in the background,

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Ready

    ElianaThe weight of my situation bore down on me, making me feel hopeless. Maybe I shouldn't even bother trying to escape. I had no one to turn to, no ally to trust. If I did manage to escape, where would I go? Axel's face flashed in my mind, but I pushed it away. He would probably hate to see me, and besides, I had no idea where he was. I was completely alone, with no one to rely on. The thought was suffocating. Even if I did escape, I would be on my own, with no one to help me. The risk was too great, and I felt like I was trapped with no way out. Maybe it was better to just accept my fate and try to make the best of it. ‘Best out of it.’ I scoffed bitterly at my own thoughts.But the thought of giving up, of surrendering to Herold's plans, was unbearable.I snapped back to reality, the lady's waving hands breaking the spell of my reverie. "Hello, ma'am," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of amusement. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I realized how lost in thought I had

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Confusion At It’s Peak

    ISABELLAI watched as he remained oblivious to my presence, his attention focused elsewhere. I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing here and why he seemed so out of place.Within me I wished we would cross paths, but that would just mean unleashing another phase of pain.But before I could ponder further, the ladies escorted me into the house.The interior was luxurious, but in an old, faded way. The air was thick with the scent of decay and rot, and I could feel the weight of years of neglect bearing down upon me.One of the ladies spoke up, her voice breaking the silence. "I will direct you to the shower, where you can prepare for tonight," she said, her tone firm but polite. I nodded, still feeling a sense of unease and disorientation.I looked at the lady; I noticed a subtle shift in her demeanour. She seemed softer and more gentle, and her voice took on a slightly warmer tone.It was a stark contrast to the way she had spoken to me earlier, in the presence of Herold. I reme

    IsabellaCannis tossed me to the floor, and I landed with a thud, my palms scraping against the cold surface. Herold's voice cut through the air, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Don't treat her like that," he said, his words laced with mockery. "She's my wife, after all." The way he said it made it clear that he was only defending me out of mockery.His voice was tinged with disdain, and I felt a sting of humiliation at his words. I looked up at him, meeting his gaze, and saw the amusement dancing in his eyes. He was enjoying this, enjoying the power he held over me.I shook my head, trying to process the surreal scene unfolding before me. At first, I had thought that Victoria and my so-called father were pretending to be kind to me just to appease Herold, to keep him happy and invested in their twisted games. But now, I wasn't even sure of that. Everything seemed to have taken a wild turn, and I was struggling to keep up. Herold's sarcastic defense of me, Canis's rough handling, an
