" Elora stop!" They heard someone say when she had barely gotten into five centimeters of the tunnel and when they turned to look, they saw that it was Roman. " Roman. What is the meaning of this? Are you alone?" She asked and he nodded then he turned to find Elora staying still in the tunnel. " Elora please come out," he said closing his eyes as if he wished he hadn't seen this." Leave her alone. She had decided to leave because that's what's best for her" " Is that what she decided or what you decided? Listen, Giselle, if this girl leaves this place what do you think people will say about her? Every slur or insult they used to call her will remain. She will always be the rejected human girl who went back to where she came from and trust me this is me just being kind because I know they will say a lot worse things about her. Elora can change that, she doesn't deserve a life in a place she doesn't belong. She was chosen as Luna for a reason, no matter how impossible you see it.""
Elora and her mother slept in her room immediately after they got back and Elora knew that she will always cherish this moment with her mother, she will always remember it as the day she and her mother almost parted ways forever but Roman... Roman came to save the day. She had so much on her mind that she wanted to think about, but the thought that ran through her mind was how much she wants her life to change. She realized how pathetic she has been letting her life be and that she could actually change it - she could make history as the first human Luna! Even though now, she despises Drew, she wanted to prove her worth to the whole of New Moon pack but there was a catch. If she succeeds she would have to marry Drew and she never wants to have anything to do with him - not anymore. " Except, I prove my worth but tell Drew that he doesn't deserve me. It's not him I want, it's my reputation I want to clear" she finally concluded, and then she slept off. *****The next morning, Gisel
" I hope you enjoy your stay here. It was quite a task to get Sage Ken to let you stay here. Even when I offered him the money you gave me!" Roman's mother was saying as she entered his new apartment but he wasn't listening to her. He was looking at the text on his phone and he knew that the text came from Diesel. " You can't be principal. Instead, you'll be a student counselor AND Assistant Combat instructor. Let's see you handle that" he read and he smirked. The man fell for it. " What's so funny?" " He's really dumb that husband of yours. He really thought I wanted to be principal?" He said laughing hysterically as he dropped himself on the couch, crossing his leg instantly and smiling at his phone" You did not want to be principal?"" Jeez no. Being a principal...won't allow me to showcase my leadership skills enough. I can't directly relate to the students. Come on Mom even you know that principals barely do anything except there's a severe case at hand. I don't want to be stu
Roman's eyes had gone back to normal just like Diego said. He was seeing clearly now and he couldn't deny the fact that Elora's beauty was beyond anything he had ever seen, especially with the way she had her hair dyed. Something about this new hair color just highlighted her olive skin, her v-shaped face, her plump lips that he had almost kissed yesterday, large grey eyes, and bow-shaped eyebrows... everything just seemed to be a perfect blend. If he didn't know her old hair color he would've thought she was born with this mix of black and white in her hair. He scoffed at his silly assumptions and listened to her as she spoke." Hey Diego, what brings you here?" she said, smiling at the boy and completely ignoring Roman's stares. " I wanted to see my brother but he and his friends bullied me again."" Oh. We should really get a band-aid on that or something to relieve your pain. Come on" she said holding out her hand to Diego who happily took her hand and they left. "Bye Roman!" She
Gina did not want to do this. Sure she was jealous of Elora and has always been jealous of her then-best friend but attacking her with devil's beans?! That was a stretch! But thinking about what Celine said, Gina thought that she had a point. If she doesn't do this, Elora would be an obstacle to her. She needed to get rid of Elora but she couldn't help but think to herself, " is this really the best way about it?" As she left Celine, she went to find a quiet place where she would think carefully about it because she knew that whatever decision she takes now about Elora will change things drastically for both of them. She saw an empty classroom and entered, then she went into deep thought. Elora had always been kind to her from the start but she couldn't understand or recall what made her start getting jealous of Elora. She felt that if her reason for getting jealous and having a love-hate dynamic with Elora was valid enough then she would go through with Celine's plan. As she sat o
Roman had just sent off the boys who had bullied Diego out of his office after thoroughly dealing with them. They left his office shaking with fright but the look Priscilla gave him after he finished with them made him wonder if he went too hard on the boys. That was what he wanted to ask her when he heard Elora's scream and found himself slamming the door to the ladies' room because that was where she was screaming from. " Elora!" He yelled back and then tried to listen if anyone was in there with her. He couldn't hear properly because other students and the teachers gathered at the scene to know what the matter was. " Shut up everyone!" He yelled and immediately the hall became silent. He instantly placed his ears against the door and listened carefully. He could hear the breathing of two other people and one of them was giggling! " My god, what are they doing to her?" He wondered and then his fear peaked when he smelled blood - human blood! Without thinking twice, he moved back
There's the imprint of trust, thats the one where the wolf recognizes you as a parent which basically every wolf has with their mother but among the few imprint types she saw while researching, there was one that intrigued her the most and that was the one she feared might've happen between her and Roman and half the time it happens with wolves of Roman's kind, it's always an accident. That kind was one that required a mark... between soulmates. In New Moon pack, Soulmates were by far more intense and complicated than a wolf's typical mate and she sincerely hoped it was not the latter imprint he did on her. " Where did you see it? " Roman asked sounding a little too interested. " Nevermind. Anyway, what kind of imprint are we talking about here?"" The reversible one, trust," he said even though it was half of the truth." Oh...so I'll trust anything that comes out of your mouth now? Does that mean I am not feeling itchy only because you said I am not?!" She asked and he nodded. "
Elora went home that same day but she found a note from Giselle saying she would not be back until 7. The wolves were nowhere to be found and it made her wonder if that was what Giselle needed to deal with. The first thing she did was to have a bath and the entire time she thought of no one else but Roman. Roman ignited something in her that day. Something that was very different from what she felt for Drew. She didn't know what it was but it was definitely the space between like and Love. " There's no term for that" she muttered as the water poured down her body, then she remembered how he had kissed her, how it felt when their bodies touched when his shirt fell off her shoulders - she almost lost her mind. But there was something she regretted, when he kissed her, she couldn't match his passion at all. She felt like she was suffocating but not in a bad way. In a way that she didn't want him to stop even though it was so intense. She got so shy when she remembered that she would h
Elora getting her powers back was most definitely the highlight of the night. She spent the night showing off her abilities to her daughters. Arina and Elena were initially overcome with embarrassment when they saw the way they chickened out when their mom was in danger while Pandora seemingly handled it well. After a while, they gave a half-hearted apology and sat in the living room – that is what was left of the room since most of their mother’s wolves had occupied it to be with Elora. “ I think that’s enough show for today,” Elora said after seeing that it was late. “ But mom, this is literally the coolest birthday ever and you’re ruining it by telling us to go to bed,” Elena protested. “ And I’m about to ruin it even more because I have some questions,” Elora said with a sinister smile. “ Umm…on second thought I think I’ll just go to bed. Goodnight mom,” Arina said with Elena getting up to follow her when Elora commanded, “ Sit!” This time it was different because their mom w
Later that night, Elora went to Pandora’s room and found her asleep. She was going to leave when Pandora begged her not to leave. “ I’m not sleeping anymore,” she said and Elora nodded before she went back to sit beside Pandora on the bed and asked her, “ What has happened? I know that you aren’t really happy so what is it?” “ Remember the boy I told you about?” Pandora asked as she sat up and fiddled with her fingers. “ Yeah?” Elora said. She had suspected earlier that her plans to help Pandora win the boy over had failed, hence why Pandora was upset.“ Well he turned seventeen and…” “ Wait he is one of those wolves who get their mates at Seventeen?” Elora asked raising her brow in surprise. “ Yeah and that’s weird because his older brother who is nineteen got his mates at nineteen,” Pandora said Digressing a little. “ Mates?” “ Yeah. Lucky him I guess,” “ That’s not something I want you to be envious of,” “ I know,” Pandora said bowing her head a lot more as her mother scold
( BACK TO PANDORA) At school, Mason had heard that it was Elena and Arina’s birthday. Some students had even gotten so obsessed with the two sisters that they made banners and customized T-shirts to celebrate the girl’s birthday but what he couldn’t understand was two things: one, why Pandora is always so ignored. Two, why Pandora is the only one who was mocked about her ‘ family’s failures? He wasn’t a fan of the lies being told about Roman Hills their father but he thought that if people were going to mock Pandora and call her father a mad beast then it should apply to the other girls too. He had just gotten out of his car that he got for his seventeenth birthday - which he forbade anyone of his friends from celebrating or mentioning when he saw the two sisters giggling and laughing at some of the students who kept telling them how pretty they were and how some guys and girls were embarrassing themselves just to impress them. At this point, the two sisters were more idolized than K
When Gina and Aidan got back after talking with Elora about how things have been since Roman's disappearance, they felt quite depressed about the matter. " She didn't deserve that you know..." Gina was the first to talk." It doesn't seem right at all. Everything seems so...orchestrated" Aidan said. " Do you think that maybe...just maybe... someone did this to her out of spite" " It has to be him... Drew"" Drew..."" Think about it. He must've felt humiliated when Roman succeeded in destroying his father. Alpha Drake was the one person Drew held on to for hope. Drew betrayed his own father to become Alphas Drew's second in command. But Roman kills him but instead of them killing Drew, they spare him and give him control of New Moon Pack. Drew must've felt insulted and humiliated. He probably would've preferred to die instead of being spared to suffer humiliation. He must've done this to Roman and Elora out of spite - it has to be him, especially since he and Romans' father has lots
Elora went to bed that night and like every other night, she dreamt of Roman. He was still trapped in his wolf form but he was begging her to wait for him and that he would come back to her. She always looked forward to her night's sleep because it gave her the opportunity to see Roman's face again but this night, it made her cry. She missed him so badly and felt like she couldn't live without him but she was so lonely and she had no one to turn to. Suddenly, this repeated dream started to feel like a nightmare. It started to feel like she was holding on to something that doesn't exist. She wanted nothing more to do with a dream that gives her false hope so she forced herself to wake up from the dream. When she did, she was breathing heavily and sweating profusely despite the fan in her room blowing at the highest speed. Suddenly, she felt a presence in her room and when she turned to the window, she saw blue and green eyes peering at her in human form. " Mom...what is it?" She hea
Pandora's POVMy sisters and I never went to school at the same time so it was no surprise to anyone when I entered the class one minute late while everyone else was already seated. Our class was painted mint green - a color I despised and the writings on the wall spelled the name of our school - Blue Moon Highschool Rhevys branch. Our mother didn't think it wise for us to study at New Moon like we always did when we were living with our grandmother. So we were fairly new students as we have only studied here for a year. This was one of the decisions our mother man that made my sisters angry with her. They believed New Moon was better because while we were there, we were treated way better than here. At New Moon High, a lot of the truth was told when it came to the battle between our father and his father. Not the fabricated and made-up stuff that the students and even the teachers digested here. We were kind of revered and it was because the Alpha, Alpha Drew liked us. I heard that
Elora opened the door and gasped at the people she saw standing outside her door. She never thought she would see them again but yet they were standing right in front of her. " Gina, Aidan? I...I'm so happy to see you two!" She said with a smile before she stepped aside so they could come in. Gina looked perfectly fine. It was as if she didn't age a day and Aidan had gotten so much bigger than she recalled. He looked very happy to be with Gina and seeing them holding hands like that made her a bit sad because she had no one to hold on to, it couldn't kill the joy she was currently feeling because she finally got to see them after almost fifteen years. " It's so good to see you too," Aidan said giving Elora a big hug. It was Gina who was acting a bit awkward even when Elora hugged her. " Hi" Gina managed to say with a nervous smile. " Oh my gosh, come on over to the sitting room and have a seat," Elora said smiling from ear to ear as she ushered them to the sitting room. " How hav
After Roman had his bath, Elora was in the sitting room with their children. Roman wanted to stay with her but he needed to find Josh and Caleb. He had to know if they survived or not. After all, it was he who sent them on a fool's errand. " Please El, let me put some things in order. After that I'm all yours for the rest of the day and the night" he said when she wouldn't let him go. " Please..." He begged after kissing her senseless and then she yielded. He left and was surprised to see that Cody was hosting a party. " Cody, this is no time for a party. My father still had allies that I need to put in their place. Until then, there will be no parties - though I appreciate the thought behind it" he said." That's a bummer. I thought we would be free to do whatever we wanted for a while" Tyler complained." Yeah... we'll party our asses off after order has been restored permanently," Roman said. " I'm off to Blue Moon Pack by the way. I'll see you guys later." He added and said hi
Elora remained indoors and didn't come out. She went straight to her children's crib and watched them wondering in her heart if she would be deemed a bad mother for not staying with them and fighting instead or if she would be called a coward for not helping her mate fight a necessary battle. What she knew for a fact was that if Roman dies she will hate herself. So she sat there and watched her children while thinking long and hard about the decision she had to make. As for Roman, immediately he left Elora and went back to find Cody and the others, he gathered them under the tree at the back of the building and said to them, " My father is coming. I'm sure you already know this but here is my request. I saved you all because I wanted to have people to lead when I eventually end my father's rule. I also wanted all of you to be a part of this fight but...there are children here who could get hurt and traumatized all over again." " What are you saying, Roman?" Cody asked. " I'm sayin
