" Please don't kill them!" Elora begged in a faint whisper as she stood in front of her mom ready to prevent her from going any closer to the glowing furs of the wolves who were still sleeping soundly.

" Kill them? No. I won't do that." Her mother said staring at Elora with a hint of disappointment. It was almost as if she was saying, " do you really think I'm a monster?" With her eyes.

"but Elora. Where did you find them?" Her mother asked folding her arms and watching Elora closely.

" They came to me. I mean, the other was wounded, I mean the mother."

" There's a pup?" Her mother asked as she moved closer but Elora didn't let her get any closer.

" I'm not going to harm them, Elora. I just want to see."

" No," Elora said vehemently but she didn't know why she was so against Giselle touching the wolves, she just felt the need to.

" Imprint" she heard her mother whisper before she looked at both Elora and the wolves.

" What?"

" Never mind."

" What are you going to do to them now?"

"Nothing. You should go to sleep but they can't stay here. Other werewolves will NOT be as understanding as I am" she said before she started to leave.

" Wait. Have you...seen anything like this?" Elora asked because she suspected that her mother's calm response must mean that she has seen something like this before.

" No," Giselle said before she shut Elora's door. Elora wished that she could tell whether or not her mother was lying but...she decided to trust that she didn't lie.

Her mother was a great warrior before she became sick and during that time she witnessed so many things that she isn't allowed by the pack to disclose. Elora believed that must've been the reason she wasn't surprised to see glowing wolves on her bed. When you have seen so many strange things you won't act so surprised anymore by those strange things.

Elora went back to bed and the wolves instantly cuddled up against her as if they had been waiting for her. That night, she slept so peacefully and had the most beautiful dream ever but when she woke up the next morning, she couldn't remember the dream and the wolves were gone!

" Mom!" She yelled and went in search of Giselle only to find her mother vomiting in the toilet in her room. She looked and saw that it was blood and she instantly turned away.

" I'm fine," Giselle said as she wiped her mouth clean and flushed the toilet. Elora suddenly felt guilty because she didn't rush into her mother's room to check up on her, she ran because she was certain her mother did something to the wolves but she was still in her pajamas and her hair was still messy. She obviously just woke up to so much pain and went to the toilet only to vomit blood.

" You're not fine," Elora said holding back tears. Giselle never told her the whole truth about her time as a warrior and no one is willing to even notice Elora's existence let alone speak to her about what the truth about Giselle could be. But the way her mother Giselle kept suffering and battling this strange illness on her own was something Elora couldn't understand.

If Drew's father could allow her mother to bring someone who is a human into the pack -! something that is clearly against their rules, then what is stopping them from finding a cure to her ailment?

" I am fine. The medicine I took is working"

" By making you vomit whatever the hell that was?"

" Elora, language!"

" What language? I didn't even say fuck" Elora said feeling very irritated by how her mother was being too calm about something that any sane person would find alarming.

" Why are you doing this? You can ask Drew's father for help. He will help you."

" He is. All the drugs I take are given to me for free. There are just no fast-action drugs for it. Besides, they said I would most likely vomit whatever is causing me this problem and it will be nasty the first time so I promise you, this is not a big deal." Her mother assured her but Elora was still so bitter.

"Why is this illness only affecting you? Where did it come from?" Elora asked as her mother wrapped her in her arms and brushed her hair with her hands.

" I don't know but I promise to pull through so that I will always be by your side. I promise Elora, please trust me." She assured Elora who just ended up crying while her mother patted her back.

" Where are your furry friends? It's about 5 am I think, we need to get them out of the pack" she said when she saw that Elora had stopped crying.

" Umm...they're gone," Elora said, feeling like crying all over again.

" What? Just like that? How did they leave?"

" I don't know. Maybe I should check all the doors and windows again. If they're all shut then...I guess they left by supernatural means? I don't know what to say " Elora said feeling double devastated.

" Maybe they'll come back to you." Her mother said but Elora refused to entertain the thought. She was sick of having false hope. Why does she even do that anyway? Elora muttered when she left her mother's room some moments later.

" Are you ready to go to school today? I saw you sleeping in your room yesterday."

" Yeah. I am" Elora said, purposely refusing to tell her mother about what doom awaited her at school.

She got ready for school and tried as much as possible to not delude herself that she would have it easy at school that day. She wanted to be alert and prepared for anything and everything.

She could barely even eat her cereals that morning because whenever she got nervous her stomach feels like there was a large rock inside it and she starts to sweat like crazy.

" Are you ok? The fan is on but you're sweating so much" her mother asked.

" Yeah. Actually excited for today." She lied. This was the only lie Elora was used to telling without getting caught by Giselle and this was due to years of lying to Giselle so she would not worry about her.

" Alright. Eat your cereal already. You'll be late for whatever you are excited about you nineteen-year-old."

There was nothing for Elora to even look forward to as a nineteen-year-old. Not even a boyfriend or...a mate. The word mate just slapped a very painful memory into her head and she just stood up from her stool in the kitchen and smiled at her mom. " I'm ready to go now. Thanks." She said before she threw her backpack over her shoulder and ran out of the house.

It was stupid to her that she was running towards the thing that was presently causing her to hurt all over again - Drew. But what other choice did she have? She just had to go.

The second she reached the school gates, she was a little shocked that people still acted like she didn't exist. Her surprise soon turned into happiness when she entered the school's white and blue balls and saw that no one was giving her weird looks, not even people with whom she has the same classes!

" Maybe I am fortunate after all" she squealed within herself even though on the outside she kept a blank expression.

" Hey! Elora!" Celine suddenly called from behind her and her inner smile dropped. She wanted to turn around but Celine just threw her hands over Elora's shoulders.

" How are you slut!" She said out loud for everyone to hear and Elora just shut her eyes in regret.

No one cared about her existence until Celine decided to call her slut. Her friends especially Sarah, were laughing at what Celine had said.

" I'm talking to you bitch!" Celine said pushing her index finger against Elora's head when Elora said nothing.

" I'm n-not a bitch" Elora muttered with a slight stutter.

"Can't even get a word out without stammering. Gross. " Celine said looking at her from head to toe. Elora was so disappointed in Gina because these girls never liked her but at least they didn't bully her because Gina wouldn't let them. Now, Gina must've given them the go-ahead to do and say whatever they want to her. If the roles were reversed she was certain she would not do the same to Gina, yet here she is.

" Fuck she smells of so much humanness. So vile! Ugh! Spray spray!" Sarah said spraying what was definitely not a perfume in Elora's eyes.

" Stop! My eyes!" Elora yelled amidst the surprised whispers of the other students watching who seemed to care more about the fact that she was human than Sarah "accidentally" spraying pepper in Elora's eyes.

" Oops. Pepper spray. I swear I thought it was deodorant. At least you smell different" Sarah said and her companions started laughing hysterically while Elora felt like her eyes were boiling in lava. She couldn't even see anymore and she wanted to cry but even that felt so painful.

" What the hell is happening there? Why did you do that Sarah? Are you mad? " She heard a familiar voice say. The person sounded so provoked by what Sarah had done. If Elora's eyes weren't in severe pain, she would've wondered if this person has lost his senses.

" Sorry Drew. We just wanted to put her in her place" she heard Sarah say as several angry footsteps reached where she crouched on the ground with her hands in a tight fist.

" I'm sorry Elora. I'll help you." Drew said and pulled her up. Elora felt like crying again because she never thought that drew would show her so much kindness.

" Thank you" she muttered as she waited for him to lead her to where he would probably help her wash her eyes with water. The thought of that intimacy caused her to have goosebumps.

" You really want to be the damsel in distress so bad right bitch?" He said whispered in her ears before using her face to slam against a locker. He hit her so hard that she started to bleed in her nose and others started clearing the way for him to pass while Elora wailed in pain.

He loved it when people feared him and Elora was going to be his scapegoat for a long time probably until she dies. And the best part is no one except those at the party will know why she is being treated that way. They will all assume it's because she's a human and they will follow suit in bullying her too. This was his cold-hearted thought as he walked past everyone who was making a path for him to go through.

" Impressive. All hail the future Alpha of New moon pack who will not hesitate to beat up someone for absolutely no reason" he heard a voice he had hoped he would never hear say and when he turned around he saw his long-time nemesis. The person he hated just as much as he hated Elora. Roman, his older half-brother.

" What the hell are you doing here?"

" This is what you think people look forward to happening when you start ruling them? Ah...your brain must really reason backward" he said instead of answering Drew's question then he carried Elora in his arms before he sped off out of Drew's sight.

" Was that Roman?"

" Damn he's changed so much."

" He's so hot and mysterious."

"I'd do anything for him to carry me."

Hell, Drew should've just beaten me instead."

He heard Celine and her dumb friends saying and got so irritated to know that his brother had come and in barely a minute stole the attention of the whole school and it was all because of that stupid girl Elora - Drew thought.

Meanwhile, Elora was taken to the sick bay to wash the pepper spray out of her eyes and after a while, she could see. But the first face she saw was that of the man who had seen her earlier when she wanted to crossover into human territory. She wanted to gosh over his handsomeness but stopped herself because she was in pain and she wasn't supposed to care about this guy who is just a guy and nothing more. She suspected that he probably was just as evil a Drew

" Hey. Are you okay?" He asked but she said nothing and just sat up on her bed and kept the small mini fan close to her eyes. She wanted to just ignore him but she ended up saying," Leave me alone"

He sighed and clasped his hands as he looked at her. " That's what I did when I saw you crossing the barrier yesterday but suddenly you're here. Even going to school. Something tells me there's a reason why you're allowed to be here, so here's the deal. You tell me why a human is going to school amongst wolves and I won't tell anyone what you did"

" Are you blackmailing me?" Elora gasped as she looked at him.

" Pretty much." He said smacking his lips afterward and acting like there was nothing wrong with it.

" You're just like Drew" she scoffed but he grabbed her wrist and looked her in the eye as he said, " DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

When he realized he had let his wolf slip, he closed his eyes and looked at her again.

"I'm nothing like that boy. I didn't save you for show. " He said letting go of Elora's wrist. " Now, start talking" he added but Elora still said nothing. Roman was taken aback because he had never seen someone who was not afraid of him and it made him want to know more about this girl.

    Elora was getting angry at this guy here who was trying to blackmail her just because he saw her almost crossing the boundary. Couldn't he just be silent about it and then they can become friends? She was already getting so sassy about it all until she realized that no one wants to be friends with her so why would he do that? " Elora," he said calmly. This time she looked at him and noticed how similar he looked to Drew. The only notable difference was that he was a lot more mature looking than Drew, his hair was completely white and he was devastatingly handsome. Had he been around the same age as her, she would've allowed herself to obsess over him." You look like Drew" she blurted out as she stared at him and he scoffed. " That's because he's my half-brother," he said and then he removed the pin he used in tying his hair. Now it made sense to Elora, that's why he has his hair in a ponytail, he is an Alpha's son but she had never heard of Alpha Diesel having a son before Drew. Soo

    " I can't even get Drew to like me! He finds me filthy and I bet even you're struggling to breathe because I smell so awful to you!" She said and then she breathed in and out upon realizing that she didn't even take a breath before when she spoke. " I'm not finding hard to breathe, you smell find. What I want to ask is why do you want to get Drew to like you? He obviously doesn't deserve you." he said sounding so sincere that Elora believed what he said about her " smelling fine". She sighed knowing that he was simply being nice to her and nothing more." Look, I have an idea." he said looking very excited. Elora couldn't help but observe how surreal he looked. What she found so nice about him was his skin, it was tan and it just made his platinum blonde hair stand out, his blue eyes were small and they sparkled alot like a gem when he seemed excited and his stare always seemed more intense because of the way his prominent t-zone. The only flaw she saw in him was his lips, they were s

    " Diesel Please! Don't do this. If you harm him then we will have another war on our hands - a war with blue moon pack! Come on. You know that only our pack can't take theirs. It would take a legion to stop them." She said mind-linking with him. "So he should insult me and make me look weak in front of everyone?! ""You shouldn't have let everyone here in the first place, why didn't you send them off? This is clearly meant to be a private affair. Besides you know that his father doesn't need him to prove himself any further, he just brought him here to humiliate him because he knew how you will treat him. Don't act so predictably and just let him go ""You will always choose him over our own son, wouldn't you? " He barked while they still had their minds linked.

    Meanwhile, some moments later in Alpha Diesel's office, he was fuming at his wife. " The boy disrespects me because of you!" He yelled. "That's not true " she tried to say but he wouldn't even let her finish her sentence. "It is! He does so because you condone it ""What else do you want me to do? You won't even let me speak to him in public ""But you spoke to him today regardless! And you even let him sleep in the same house as you and my children!

    In the bathroom, Elora recalled how the rest of the day went after that dramatic ordeal she faced the second she entered school. She noticed that in the classes that followed, so many people were avoiding her and there were only two things she could think of to make them behave like that. It was either the fact that she was human repulsed them or the fact they saw Roman help her after what Drew, Celine, and Sarah did to her. Maybe they feared what Roman would do to them if they bothered her but...she thought it was ridiculous for her to already start thinking that they were avoiding her because Roman saved her once. Sure he shared his sob story with her but it didn't necessarily mean that he would always be on ground to keep anyone else from bothering her.But she recalled her last conversation with him. She had left the class after Drew specifically kept glaring at her the whole time and was planning on ditching school when Roman pulled her into an empty class and covered her mouth.

    The next morning, Elora didn’t even have it in her to go to school and it wasn’t because she just felt like she shouldn’t go. Rather it was because she got a text from someone she suspected to be Drew and it said, “ Don’t even think about not showing up to school today. If you don’t I will find out where you live and I will kill you. I’d be awesome to have you as my First kill.”The thing is, he basically told her he will kill her either way. Just that if she doesn’t come to school today after avoiding him yesterday then he will kill her a lot sooner. It was then she started to cry. Everything about her life was hard because Giselle chose to let make her life the human representation of forcing a square peg into a round hole. “ Elora, what’s wrong?” Giselle said, knocking on Elora’s door. She was worried because Elora has never locked her out of the room before.“ nothing.” Elora lied then she calmed herself, remembering that she mustn’t add her problems to the problem Giselle already

    Alpha Diesel sat in silence in his new office which he had gotten his men to refurbish overnight. He was giving nearly everyone in his office a death glare because he didn't expect the day to start like this. He had some news that would've greatly upset Roman but he was unable to deliver the news first of all because of Giselle who showed up saying her daughter has left the pack because Drew had been harassing her.He couldn't believe the allegations because Drew has been seeing Gina who is from a reputable wolf lineage and he even claimed that Gina is his mate. So why would he chase after a random girl or why would he harass her? This was what he thought initially until he realized that several years back Giselle had told him that her daughter was dead. Just as he was about to ask her if she had another daughter Francis brought the girl in question to the school for everyone to see that she is a human who his son is cursed to be mates with!" Now.

    On the way, as Giselle took Elora home, she remembered the discussion she had with Elon, one of her colleagues back when she still fought for New Moon pack. It was him she had gone to see that previous night and it was his feedback about Elora that gave her sleepless nights. He too had taken a human child left without no parents at their last mission and his was a boy. He was also able to save the boy from Alpha Diesel and so she thought she should ask him some things about Elora. " Is the girl still with you?" He had asked to which she said yes." You should take her back to her home. She does not belong here. You'll only be causing her to suffer amongst people who hate her even if she had a kind heart " he advised." But she has nowhere to go"" But it's better than here. It's better. Nothing she will ever do will be good enough. She will always feel worthless, trust me, my son felt the same way but I kept holding onto him until he told me he hated me. But could I blame the boy? 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.

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.

    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
