“Elora!” Roman yelled and pushed Gina’s wolf away from Elora’s body. When he saw that Elora’s head was still intact he was relieved because the first thing a wild wolf would do is kill its prey by ripping off their heads and they do it very quickly. Gina’s wolf was far from tamed and was already about to attack Roman but Roman already knew this, he turned around while still kneeling beside Elora who was groaning in pain, then he held the wolf’s neck before he snapped her mouth shut and said, “Stop!” but Gina’s wolf was still writhing in his grip, feeling uneasy and restless because it would not rest until it kills at least one person in that room. “Stop, Gina look at me, look at me Gina, I know…” he said and then her wolf started to calm down but Roman knew it would only be for a short while, he knew he would have to act fast so he looked into the frighteningly yellow eyes of Gina’s wolf and showed her what he saw in Drew’s mind and promised her saying, “I will make him pay,”. A tear
Elora was well now, the healing medicines at the bridge were the fastest kind she's ever used but what she couldn't get out of her mind was how this place called the bridge existed. It confused her so much that she decided to ask the nurses again, just to clarify of course. " Wait, don't be mad but I need to be sure that I clearly understand what you two are saying very well" she started as she put down the phone of the blue-haired girl whose name was Dara. She was scrolling past the picture-perfect shots of the Bridge and it was safe to say that it also added to her confusion. " So, you're saying that I was attacked by a girl who turned into a wild wolf, and then I lost consciousness for a brief moment and now I'm here in this place called the bridge...?" She asked and paused to see if they would disagree with anything she had said so far but when she saw that they just nodded their head in unison she decided to go and say the part that really confused and bothered her. " ...and
Elora listened carefully to what Roman had to say but Roman was not yet saying anything so she was starting to lose her patience. " Are you gonna say anything or are you not?" She asked" Well, I'm hesitating because, during me explaining this story, you might get very hurt by the things I will say but know that this is not my opinion about your kind," he said, and then she sighed saying to herself, " so this is basically a story where we're the bad guys."" Okay. I will understand. Now speak" she said to him as she was certain she would be able to take it. " Some centuries ago-""-oh my god, tell me this isn't some mythology. Dude, I don't have time for that" Elora found herself interrupting as she didn't expect he was going to go that far back. She didn't have all day for that especially when he said their bodies are lying somewhere in a pod." Seriously Elora?" " Okay look just get me out of this pod and then I'll listen to what you have to say"" I get that you need to see your
Roman stared at her after she made her decision. At that moment, he regretted everything he'd done. He felt so wronged to have been mated to a human because had she been a wolf or even mixed breed - regardless of how dangerous they are, she would've known that her decision was very unfair to him. But when he thought about it again, if he were in her shoes, he would choose his mother too. " Roman. I know you care about me and I'm sincerely so grateful for your care. I never expected the kindness and the care you showed me. No, I didn't. Instead, I thought I'd always be alone with my mother and that thought seemed so bleak to me. But, with everything going on right now, I think spending time with my mother is the best" she said when she saw how he reacted to her choosing her mother. " Alright. I have no choice but to take you back." He said with great difficulty. As Elora watched him struggle to compose himself, she wondered if it could be possible that what Roman feels for her is a l
The night Elora's mother died was the night everything seemed alarmingly calm. Roman couldn't understand it but that same night he was told that his father stopped searching for Elora and has decided that Roman does not need to prove himself anymore. He demanded to see Roman immediately by the next day. But how could he go? He may not have known Giselle that much but he knew the woman was a morally driven person. He knew she had a heart of gold to have raised a human all by herself even when she was dying. But there was something else he also knew - his father must've killed Giselle. It was too coincidental for Roman to rule his father out of the list of suspects. That night, Roman watched Elora's whole world crumble as she begged her mother to get up. She begged and begged as if she was certain that her mother will hear her but...Roman knew that death had taken the poor girl's mother. He blamed himself for it. If he hadn't let his emotions get in the way, they wouldn't have wasted
Elora successfully avoided those who were looking for her to punish her for assaulting Drew and when she got to the waterfall, she sat by the rock and opened the diary. Her eyes frantically searched for evidence of her mother admitting to sleeping with Alpha Diesel and when she found it...she almost through the book over the cliff. " How could she do this?" Elora asked angrily. She could not understand what her mother was thinking when she was having an affair with a married man! It made no sense to her. The wind blew open a page and she reluctantly read its content; March 12" I have cut off ties with Diesel since he has chosen another woman for himself. I am no longer his best friend, now I'm just a member of his squad. I have been robbed of the love of my life and my mate."As Elora read these words, she felt so bad. Giselle told her that her mate was taken by another but how could that be if Roman claims that Diesel was his mother's mate? Could it be that it was a lie? Is Dies
Roman had just arrived at the school at the time Elora left the school and had learned about her smashing Drew's head with a bat almost immediately. He tried to convince his mother not to punish Elora gruesomely but she wouldn't listen. She was fuming in anger and suddenly she became so unbearable to him. " Roman if you walk out that door when I'm still talking to you-"" - what is it? Huh! What is it that you're saying right now that I should listen to?" He exploded, both his eyes flaming in fury. " What? You want to tell me that it's my fault? That I shouldn't have hidden Elora all because your son got hit on the head? He'll heal for goodness sake what's the big deal?" " The big deal Roman is that a lot of people witnessed a future Alpha being easily fallen by a human girl. Drew has become weak."" Well, that's what happens when you reject your mate. They're supposed to be your other half and the fact that Drew's father already rejected his own mate before was not going to spare
It took a good number of days for those who were attacked at Elora's "funeral" to heal. She was deemed wanted and Alpha Diesel was still finding it hard to believe that a human can control natural wolves. He had heard of things like that but they were seen as myths - even in the world of werewolves. Roman on the other hand had to postpone his leaving. He didn't tell his father why he would not be returning because he knew his father would interfere in the matter. He spent the first three days trying to find Elora but when he didn't see her and he knew his father wouldn't condone his absence any longer, he packed up again and decided to leave. But just like before, as he was putting his things in the trunk of his car, something stopped him from leaving. It was Elora. " What are you doing here in the open?" He asked but Elora silenced him. " Stop talking or people are gonna think you're mad. They can't see me or hear me." She said nonchalantly. " Let's go inside," she said watching
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
