Roman wondered if perhaps he was really the selfish one. He spent so long thinking about it that eventually, he couldn't go back. He needed to see Elora. He needed to explain to her that the unfortunate incidents that followed them being together were beyond his control. He needed to win back her love and trust but he didn't know how he would do that - not when she barely even let him get his point across. That night he felt so defeated that he went to bed but after barely three hours of sleep, he woke up and drove straight to Blue Moon pack. Upon his arrival, the first person he saw was his stepmother. She looked extremely upset to see him but he couldn't care less. All he wanted now was a warm bath and good sleep. He would see his father later. That night he dreamt of something he always wished he and Elora could have but even in that dream, it did not work out. Meanwhile, Elora was still in New Moon pack and while she lay hidden at the waterfall, she thought about what Roman sai
" We are here to see you" Gina responded before she motioned to the mat Elora was lying on, asking if she could sit down. " This place is kind of cozy. It's really nice" she said after Elora let her sit down. She looked around to see that Elora had already made the place her own. She had her clothes neatly hung on a rope she tied to two poles. She had made a little section for bathing and a small fireplace for cooking. " Do you plan on living here? It's kind of uncomfortable don't you think?" Aidan asked. He was still standing and assessing the place. " It's quite the opposite thank you," Elora said giving him a very, " I'm offended" look." Well, what happens if it rains?" Gina asked." Well I go over there in that cave and stay there with the wolves keeping me warm," she said pointing at a small cave just below the waterfall. Since the water doesn't reach it, it was safe for them to stay there. " That's cool," Gina said with a smile and Elora watched her. Her friend had lost a l
The next day, at about 10 o'clock Elora looked over at Aidan's body as they lay on the mat, their clothes thrown over the place. Instantly she felt disgusted at herself. Ever since she got figured out her abilities, she's become cold. She's spent most of her days plotting how she would deal with those who treated her poorly that her heart became too cold. How could she sleep with Aidan? He just likes her a bit but Roman is in love with her and if she is being honest with herself, no matter how dangerous her relationship with Roman is, she cares more for him than anyone else. " Good morning beautiful," Aidan said before he placed a soft kiss on her lips. She looked over at him and found him smiling innocently at her. She shouldn't have slept with him, now she will hurt him with her next words. " Is something wrong Elora? You look upset" Aidan said still kissing her body. " You should go," Elora said, summoning enough courage in her tone so that he would know that she wasn't joking.
" But I'll help regardless" Roman added and then they went to the scene of the incident and that was when Elora saw Roman's father for the first time. It was such a strange feeling seeing the face of the man who killed her mother. It bothered her how much Roman looked like him because he simply looked like Roman would in a couple of years. He had the same snow white hair, the same cold blue eyes, and the same facial features as Roman even with a beard, the only difference was that you could look at him and tell that he was evil. The man was in front of the house of Alpha Diesel now and was making his presence known by killing anyone who didn't seem to know where he was and for a moment all the courage Elora had gathered over the months disappeared because she had made herself vulnerable after sleeping with Aidan. She and Aidan were hiding behind one of the houses around Alpha Diesel's and she was having a panic attack. She didn't think she would be this scared of him. " Roman," sh
" This is unbelievable! How was he even able to get past us again without any of my men noticing? How? This is the second time he's done this. " Alpha Diesel said as he sat in his sitting room with four of his men from his Apex council. Drew, Stacy, and Thelma were also there. Drew knew that both times when Alpha Drake infiltrated their pack was because of him. He always had a way of helping him get past his father's men but he wasn't going to get caught. To him, he had a very good reason to betray his father and the reason is that his father has become a coward. If his father could've owned up to the casualties caused years before he was born, when his father and Alpha Drake fought over the human children who were captured during their fight with the humans, then things would've been different. Instead, his father was greatly petrified by how dirty Alpha Drake fought and vowed he would never go against him again. So many lives were lost in that fight. According to some rumors he h
Roman reminisced about the first time he and Elora sat down at the waterfall. She was in great pain after the devil beans attack on her and he had no choice but to make her think it doesn't itch and he could only do that by imprinting on her, which led to them being bonded as soulmates. Thinking about it now, he felt like he shouldn't have been so hurt about her sleeping with Aidan because no matter what happens between them and anyone else, they must end up together. Still, it hurt that the first time he got to see his mate from afar, it was when she was sleeping with another man repeatedly. Remembering just felt like something was jabbing at his newfound joy so he stopped himself from thinking about it. Instead, he remembered the thing that was causing him much joy now. His father being defeated so easily. He always wished he could do that to his father. It wasn't that he couldn't do it physically, it was the fact that his father had caused him so much trauma that he couldn't get
Elora stared at Roman sensing that his serious tone meant that the people genuinely wanted her or him as their new leader but it seemed so ridiculous to her. How could they want her only now? How could they have spent their whole lives teaching and training their children to hate humans, only for them to start wanting her? The answer became clear as she recalled what they had said earlier. They found fault in Alpha Diesel because he did not defend them when Alpha Diesel attacked, it was obvious now to her that though they may not like her now but they still need her if they want to survive. “In that case, I’m not interested. Let them find another leader.” Elora said to herself but she did not realize that she spoke her mind loud enough for Roman to hear her. “I fear that they would agree to that.” He said but she scoffed and while they still stood with her arms around his waist, she said to him, “But they also want you too. With what has recently happened, I don’t think it is a bad i
“ Alpha Drake, I had been of the impression that during your malice with human kind, you killed all half-humans as well as the wolf whisperers I instructed you to capture, so how is one still alive?” “I don’t know! Look, just tell me why she isn’t assigned to just one wolf but is controlling nearly all the Crypt wolves? You and I know that those wolves are what we were modeled after – and they are no ordinary wolves so how is this happening?” “Since you had a lot of them killed after they failed to meet your needs, I believe their souls and their wolves have become the girl’s. It is the way of a wolf whisperer.” “I need that girl. You know what she is capable of. She does not know it yet and that is why I need her for myself.” “I’m sorry to say this Alpha but the girl cannot be defeated and she is too strong for you to have…that’s too much power for one person” “But she is doing just fine with ‘all that power!’ what do you mean?” “For now, but eventually it will kill her.” “What
