Happy Easter to my precious diamonds. I wish you all the best this Easter period. Happy holiday
ELEANOR“Please… someone, please help me, don't let them take me away. Save me, please!" The unmissable loud screams of a woman had us all rushing out to be greeted by the dreadful sight of a slave, dragged along with one of the guards with his fingers roughly fisting at her hair that she struggled to release from his hold. I couldn't help but wonder what on earth she might have done to warrant being treated like this. She continued to cry for help that was obviously never going to come and each cry was accompanied by either a slap or a kick from the ticked-off guards, but it didn't look like she was going to stop anytime soon. The desperation was heavy in her voice and all we could do was watch as she was dragged along, her cries becoming more distant.Looking around me at the slaves that were witnesses to the sight too, I could tell from their faces that the sight left them sad and helpless, watching as one of your kind was disgraced and dragged to their imminent death, knowing tha
CLARAI stood frozen, my hands shaking with fear as I watched the scene playing out in front of me. My hands immediately flew up to my neck and I gasped out, my eyes widening in shock as I knew I was in danger and there was no help coming.I could feel my heartbeat picking up its pace, beating erratically, almost as fast as the fear was spreading through my whole body. Was this really how it was going to end for me if I got caught? I never even got to do any of the things I'd seen myself doing as I got older, never lived my life the way I really wanted to. And now everything was just going to pull to an abrupt halt the moment I made the mistake of slipping up and getting found out. I was going to lose everything, Eleanor included, and might end up ruining her without her even realizing it.The sound of someone's footsteps retreating drew my attention back to the image in front of me and I snapped back to reality just to see Eleanor running out of the arena and I did the same, by the t
CLARAAfter meeting with the girls, there had been a spark of hope in me that if Jasmine succeeded in finding information about Easton, maybe,...... just maybe we would have a chance to finally be free. I turned to look at Lennox who slept peacefully beside me and couldn't help as a smile made its way to my face before I leaned in to place a light kiss on his forehead which had him stirring in his sleep just before his eyes peeled open.“Good morning love, did you sleep well? I'm sorry for waking you up," I hummed apologetically as he brushed his still heavy sleeping eyes, “I will go make some breakfast for you then head to the slave quarters," I informed him, slowly climbing out of bed only for him to pull me back, grip tight on my wrist.“You don't have to go there anymore, you are no slave. You are my mate…. mine and you carry my mark to show that." Lennox asserts, and I shake my head, successfully getting out of his grip and getting off the bed, leaving some space between us.“Thi
ELEANORIt was perfect weather today, not too hot or too cold and the occasional blow of the wind against my face should've felt just right. I should be basking in it since it doesn't happen very often, but I couldn't stop the uneasy feeling building up in my chest as I watched Clara walk away. Something about her made the warm nice weather feel like it was choking the air out of me. It is safe to say I knew Clara well enough and at the moment, I was almost certain that she was keeping something away from me and I just couldn't understand why she would. She's also been acting strangely since the incident yesterday, so there was that too.The Clara from my childhood would scream at the sight of impending danger, making sure I never got myself in trouble either, and I wouldn't say she was pushing me into it at the moment because I was determined to do it with or without support, but her immediate agreement left me on edge and it was owing to the fact that her eyes seemed to be begging m
ELEANORThe rage, the pain, the torture, the hatred, the torment, and every bad thing that had befallen me since the moment I stepped foot into this cursed place as a slave, all came crashing down on me. This overwhelming mix of emotions must have been the push Alpine needed to wake up from her slumber too as growls began to fill my head."Kill! Kill! Kill him" she continues to chant. If I wasn't so enraged too, I'd have thought her to be crazed, but I could feel every bit of her anger too. She didn't even have to say the words over and over again. I'd made the journey here with just one thing in mind.“Grant me all your strength, Alpine, every bit of it!!" I ordered and she succumbed.“You have it all human, now kill that bastard and get rid of him," she urged almost immediately and my claws elongated as a snarl escaped my lips, alerting the bastard of my presence.The moment he pulled away from her, I saw Clara's eyes widen before falling shut again seconds later. Relief washes over
ELEANOR“Please save us!!! Please save us!!!" The continuous pleas of the girls kept echoing in my head and it slowly started to become a lot. I closed my eyes, hoping to block the voices out, but it seemed to grow louder if anything.I still felt overwhelmed at the thought that I'd just taken the life of someone, brutally, and despite the continuous assurance from Aurora and the other girls that I wouldn't get caught and punished, I couldn't get my rapidly beating heart to keep still.At this rate, I would be the one exposing myself if I do not start acting normal. All the girls had resumed their duties with the reentrance of the guards who had been away for a while and they all chatted leisurely, completely unsuspecting, but I couldn't help sparing nervous glances at them the whole time.Even as we made our way back to the pack house, they continued to chatter loudly, still unaware of the fact that one of their own was missing. I wondered how come they didn't catch the stench of blo
ELEANOR "Clara, I'd advise you to start talking now or you'd leave me no choice but to force it out of you and you know you wouldn't like an alpha wolf forcing the answers out of you. So start talking right now." My hands went to cross over my chest as I stared at her. I watched as she shifted nervously on her feet before lifting her head to look between Jasmine and I. “Well, Clara, we are waiting. Start talking… you almost cost Eleanor her life, so I think you atleast owe us an explanation regarding that. What was that about?" Jasmine added and she finally sighed, chewing at her lower lip. “I'm sorry guys… Eleanor, I'm so sorry, I really am. I wanted to tell you but I was just scared. I hesitated because I didn't know how you would react. I'm so sorry you both" Clara apologizes, tears beginning to stream down her face as she bows her head. “Clara!!!" Jasmine suddenly yelled, causing her to flinch at the tone, “This is no time for you to cry, we want to know what happened. So plea
ELEANOR My eyes widened in shock, jaw-dropping as the reality of the situation dawned on me. My torturer, the one that has brought nothing but pain and misery with himself from the very second he stepped into my life. The one I was ready to dedicate my whole life to ending, was my mate. Everything suddenly felt too much and I was staggering backwards as I had nothing to hold my weight coupled with the weight of the realization. My back hit the wall and I was now practically wheezing as I struggled to get air into my lungs. I continued to choke on nothing other than my own misery and the thought of what this could mean for me. Everything came rushing in, the supposedly unexplained anger he felt when he found me with Easton, the anger that resulted in me being punished, his words back then, his insistence on me pretending to not know about something he was sure I knew of, his threat to my friends just to ensure I stayed and not run off with someone else. All that was because this
EASTON“Will you stop with the pacing? It's just some people coming over to the pack for work, for Goddess sake.” I heard Laycon scold from behind me, and I suppressed the urge to shoot him an unimpressed glare. “I know you are excited to see her, but you must control yourself. One mistake and the world would know what, or rather, who your weakness is,” He continued, and I finally rolled my eyes this time before fixing them back at the door.They were already twenty minutes late, and it did nothing to ease my already flaring nerves. I kept wondering if Zane had decided not to push further with the truce, and if that was the case, I was ready to bring war to him and burn everything to the ground.He might have bought his way to being the Alpha's second right-hand man, but that, too, would be over soon. Everything on that end was under control. Black was doing everything possible to find some substantial evidence against the Alpha, something big enough to bring him down from his positi
ELEANOROnce dressed, I hurried off to the bus and was surprised to find Jasmine and Clara both seated and patiently waiting, their eyes fixed at the entrance. A smile spread across their faces when they spotted me, and they immediately waved me over, enthusiastic. I hurried towards them, and they parted to create space for me.“Took your swell time to get ready this morning,” Clara said, sarcastic, the second I settled into the space. “Where have you been?” Jasmine asked, the question causing Clara to turn to me with a confused frown. “I searched the whole party for you and then, the dorm, but you were nowhere to be found.” she continued, paying no regard to Clara's confusion. “Do you know how worried I was, I thought something bad might have happened to you.”I forced a smile as I shook my head, “Something bad did happen to me last night. So bad I can’t even begin to describe it because it was that horrible and I wanted nothing more than to be dead at that moment but surprisingly,
ELEANORI woke up to a slight throbbing in my head, my vision hazy as my eyes pulled open, only to have them widening at the sight I was greeted with. I was in Zane's bed, tucked in nicely, with a coverlet over my body. I looked down to see i’d been thoroughly cleaned, with a change of clothes waiting for me on the bed. I frowned as I quickly sat up, needing to piece my thoughts together; There was the party last night, where I got into an argument with Zane because….The drink!My eyes widened in shock at the realisation, memories of last night slowly starting to flood my mind.I'd been right, and the drink was indeed spiked! I was in heat for goddess sake… a fucking heat.An Alpha being in heat was unheard of! I growled in anger when it finally dawned on me. Whatever had been in that drink had reduced me to an Omega. But how was that even possible? Just until yesterday I'd have never guessed something like that existed, and how was Zane able to get his hands on it? And what comes
EleanorMy body was thrumming with an unparalleled heat, the need to act on it so overpowering that it felt like an out of body experience. I was like a beast let loose, not even taking a second to dwell on the fact that this was Zane I was drolling over, letting myself be turned inside out by the very man whose existence I was living to end. Damn whatever he'd fed me, those drugs or whatever they'd taken complete effect by now and I was holding unto Zane, feeding off his heat and everything he had to offer like a lifeline. The old me, the Eleanor I knew would have picked my torn clothes and hurried out of the damn room the second he was through, or atleast cry myself to sleep if he wouldn't let me. Instead, I laid back on the bed, whimpering pathetically at the slow, languid thrusts Zane delivered as we both came down from our high, the mess of fluids in me filling the room with filthy squelching sounds. The logical part of me that would hate every second of this was reduced to a
ZANEEleanor was mine.She'd become mine right from the very second I laid eyes on her, and I'd be damned to let anything change that for as long as I lived. I couldn’t stop pacing the length of my room as the new information bounced around in my head like a fucking rubber ball. My thoughts were interrupted when a knock sounded on my door and Mark walked in at my command. “Is everything okay, Alpha Zane,” he asked the second he stepped in, voice laced with worry, concern written all over his face.“Yeah, I’m fine. What brought you to my room?” I asked, not giving him room to delve further.“… are you sure?” he sounded unconvinced but I nodded, waving him off and repeating my question. “Well, the party is about to start and your presence is needed to commemorate the occasion and you have been in your room all day which is causing the council members to murmur. I was sent to check up on you as your Beta,” he answered and I sighed.“I’m sorry, I’ll go get dressed and be there to open
ELEANOR‘Try and enjoy the party’ Those were the last tangible words I could make out as my mind and thoughts took a downward spiral into a place I struggled to get it out of. Occasionally, I remembered being jolted back to reality by the head of slave's loud yells and Clara or Jasmine's whispered pleas for me to get my head on straight and not bring unnecessary punishment upon myself, but I still couldn't. My mind seemed to have a mind of it's own and my wandering thoughts could not be stopped, even when I knew they were but a fever dream.Gory details of Zane gagging and choking on his own blood flooded my mind. I would stand back and watch in joy and fascination after having spiked his drink, his last agonizing moments as he struggles to draw each breath whilst coughing up his own organs, stained crimson Sure, it wouldn't be as satisfying as watching his head hang off a stake, completely drained of blood, but it was enough to keep me sated for now.Obviously I couldn't act on thos
ELEANOR“Hello? Earth to Eleanor,” Clara’s voice brought me out of my reverie, and I blinked back to reality to find fingers snapping in front of my face. I winced, pushing her fingers away from my face as she offered me a concerned look.“Jeez, you would have been in deep trouble if she hadn’t dismissed us. What’s wrong, El? You haven’t been yourself since you came back from Easton’s Pack. Is this still about what we discussed?”“What? What did you both discuss?” Jasmine perked up from where she'd been surprisingly quiet, and I huffed quietly, knowing what would follow.“She wants to end Zane’s life without following the plans,” Clara supplied, and I could see the exact moment it sank in for Jasmine.“Are you crazy?!” She whisper-yelled, her mouth opening and closing incredulously. “That's like asking to die! Do you have a death wish?!”“Apparently, yes,” Clara deadpanned, and Jasmine continued before I could manage a reply.“Why? What are you thinking? Did things not work out betwee
ELEANORI knew that much could be expected when the drive back to the pack felt like a different kind of torture that even Zane himself hadn't been able to put me through yet. The feeling of emptiness that only grew wider in my chest with the growing distance was not one that could be easily ignored. I had gotten a taste of freedom and deny it as I may, experienced happiness in the warmest possible shades in just a few hours spent in Easton's pack. I wish it wouldn't come to an end. I wished I didn't have to go back and that this day would never end, but alas, all of it had just been wishful thinking.I heaved a sigh as I took a seat on my bed, slowly taking off the uniform we'd been given for the party, which was now to be submitted back to the kitchen head and promptly burnt. It hurt to think about something so beautiful meeting such a terrible end, but luxury was nowhere synonymous with slavery in Zane's eyes. We couldn't be allowed to keep clothes that were obviously made not for
ZANE“What!?” I yelled out in anger, finding it inexplicably hard to comprehend what I'd just heard. My fingers ball up into fists and I could feel my entire body brew with maddening anger at the thought of Eleanor with another man. I give her even the slightest taste of freedom and this is what she goes and does behind my back? And Easton….. How dare he touch what I'd made clear was mine in every sense of the word? Eleanor was mine! Mine to possess, mine to own and mine to do however I please. I wouldn't have forgiven him for laying even a finger on her after my very clear warning, but kissing her? He had gone way over the line and there was no way I was going to let this slide. He knew Eleanor was off limits. As if my warning the other day weren't enough, I'd sent Mark over with a clear message that Eleanor was not to be touched. Yet, he ignored every single one of them and claimed what was mine. I couldn't swallow down the weight of his disrespect, the sheer audacity to do somet
