Elsa's POV

It had been a week since that incident, and I was still nervous about it, walking on eggshells around my aunt.

That night, as Jake had warned me, Sylvie did come to check on me. She even tried to sniff me instead of checking on my health. Thank God Jake had asked me to take a quick shower and change my clothes. At least for now, I was not the one she was looking for. But still, the way she looked at me at times made me wonder if she was still suspecting me.

Apart from being nervous and wary around her, I don't regret my decision. I don't think I ever will. I think it was the best decision of my life.

I understand we are still at an early stage. We move too slowly most of the time and at a great pace for others. There were still many things I didn't know about the mysterious alpha wolf. Mostly, why would someone of his stature would someone want to do anything with me? I, given my current condition, health issues, and baggage, was not fit to become his Luna. While I dared to

    Elsa's POV I was glad to be able to leave home. I felt like I was choking inside and out, like she had found out about our affair. Those eyes of hers were going to hunt me forever. But as I waited for Kathy and John in our usual spot, I scrolled through my phone, trying to steady myself. I was excited this morning to meet my friends for lunch. I even dressed up for a change. But now... She said she had really something important to discuss and she couldn't wait for me to meet at school. Also, she wanted to discuss somewhere private. "Hey sissy!" She screamed as she took her head out of the window and threw her hands towards me as her red car moved towards me. I laugh, all the worries in my heart vanishing away. She was the best medicine. I could see John on the wheel. But there was someone else sitting in the backseat. Who could it be? And why would they bring someone else? But as soon as the door opened, Kathy burst out and ran towards me. She hugged me so tightly that it left

    I flinched, my eyes widening in horror as John’s words echoed through the room. My mind raced to grasp the implications of what I had just heard. Despite my inner turmoil, I tried to maintain a façade of normalcy, tapping away on my phone and sending a text to Jake about my location to appear engaged and calm.“You think she’s cute?” John blurted out, his voice loud enough to slice through the low murmur of the conversation. It was as if he was deliberately drawing attention to me, and my heart raced with anxiety. I wished the floor would open up and swallow me whole.“Don’t you?” Asher’s smirk widened, his eyes locked on me with an intensity that made my skin crawl. There was something unnervingly sincere about his gaze, making me feel like I was under a spotlight. His attention was both flattering and disconcerting.“You think our little Elsa is cute?” Kathy interjected, grabbing my hands with a playful yet assertive grip. It felt like she was trying to play matchmaker, and the whole

    "If you thought we would judge you, you wouldn't have asked us to come!" Asher said in a bored tone.“I didn’t bother judging you when you stole my husband,” I said, trying to lighten the mood with a joke. When no one responded, I quickly added, “Well, when we were kids, didn’t we play house-house? You were always this superwoman, and I was the Luna, and John was my husband. Remember?”“Why would you bring that up? You forced me to be your husband. I always wanted to be Superman with Kathy!” John whined, his irritation clear.“Well, aren’t you now?” I shot back, puffing out my cheeks. It was all in good fun, but the atmosphere remained tense. I had never been interested in John beyond friendship, and the playful memories seemed out of place in the current context.“Your jokes are lame though,” Asher laughed, adding to the awkwardness with his sardonic humor.“Can you both stop making it about you? You two can flirt all you want later,” Kathy said, slamming her fist on the table. Her fr

    To damn my life!When we finished our meal, the storm outside was relentless, a torrent of rain that seemed to come straight from the heavens. The streets quickly transformed into a chaotic mess of puddles and rushing water.Desperate for a way out, I called for a taxi, but every driver I reached was either too frightened of the storm or simply unwilling to make the trek. As I stood shivering near the entrance, I caught sight of Asher and John engaged in a hushed, intense conversation. There was something undeniably conspicuous about their exchange, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something crucial.Moments later, John abruptly grabbed Kathy, spinning a web of excuses about forgotten windows, an unlocked door, and a dog that might be loose. They vanished into the night, leaving me abandoned and alone with Asher.That damned smirk on his face!Asher’s presence was both unnerving and compelling. Despite his undeniable charm, he lacked the qualities that made Jake so s

    I didn't know what to reply. The car fell into a heavy silence, punctuated only by the sound of the rain battering against the windows. I wanted to confront him further, to understand his motives, but I was also afraid of what he might reveal. The tension was palpable, a thick, suffocating blanket that made it hard to breathe. "Don’t you want my address?" I asked, suddenly realizing that I hadn’t given him any directions. "Let me put on some music," Asher’s hand brushed against mine again as he reached for the radio, sending an electric jolt through me. “What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice softer now. "I was trying to start the GPS." I blurted out like a lie even though it was the truth. The accidental contact sent a shiver through me, and I quickly pulled my hand away, focusing on the rain-splattered window instead. The silence that followed was stifling. "Everyone knows where the great alpha Jake Black lives," Asher said after a few minutes of silence. “Hmmm,” I said abruptly, pu

    Guilt.More guilt.I had woken up this morning on an adrenaline high, fueled by desire and forbidden passion. But now, as the day dragged on, guilt had taken over, driving me into a deep, suffocating pit. The intensity of the morning’s emotions had been starkly contrasted by the heavy weight of my remorse. The guilt was suffocating, pressing in from every side, made even more complex by the events of the day—particularly my unsettling encounter with Asher.The rain pounded relentlessly as I trudged up to the mansion, the storm mirroring the turmoil inside me. My thoughts were a tangled mess.“Miss White, you are drenched!” The security guard’s voice at the main mansion gate cut through my haze of guilt. I had been soaked to the bone somehow despite the umbrella I was holding, a meager shield against the downpour.“I should not have gone out in this weather,” I murmured, lowering my gaze. The rain had plastered my clothes to my skin, and the chill was penetrating my very core.As I made

    Inside my room, my heart dropped to the floor. My hormones activated when I saw Jake peacefully sleeping on my bed. The window was now closed. Did he use the door or window? Or did Tyler lie to me? Whatever!I felt a different kind of satisfaction watching Jake sleep like a baby. He had lost some weight and had tanned a bit. I wish I could take off some of his burden. I had to grow right! To be worthy of his love. My heart skipped a beat.Forgetting all about my miserable condition, I covered him up with my blanket, giving him a small peck on his lips. I don't know if he realized it was me or not, but when his lips curved into a smile, my heart skipped a beat. He was the only one in my head and heart. It took me some time to tidy up. When I was back, Jake was already awake and drinking the tea that Tyler had prepared for me. I gulped hard at the confirmation. Tyler knew about us. Otherwise, Jake wouldn't be here and drinking that tea with audacity. Fuck! I felt like digging up a hole

Her heart raced with anticipation, her every movement a blend of determination and desire.Sylvie's red dress clung to her figure with a seductive elegance, the fabric shimmering subtly under the mansion's lights. The deep crimson hue contrasted strikingly with her porcelain skin, highlighting her

    e knew I wanted him. He knew I had been begging for this for a long time... even before everything unraveled. Honestly since the day we met. He didn't pull out his finger but to my utter pleasure he inserted another... and then another as he began to scissor my insides. "Ah... Like that... Damn! Oh, yes!" I moaned heavily in pleasure. I was leaking wet, my juices flowing freely. He was back to kissing and sucking on my nipples while his fingers worked their magic, churning my insides. Electric tingles emerged from my nipples, coursing down to my core. The sensation was overwhelming. Growing impatient, I searched for Jake's erection. And when I found it, I grabbed it as if my life depended on it. I began to glide my hands skillfully as he began to crumble. "Elsa!" He groaned, twitching under my sudden touch. "Don't! Argh!" "Fuck! This feels so good! Damn it!" His eyes rolled back as he grunted with pleasure. I was now skillful at this. When he had not much time, or I visited his o

    Elsa's POV That night... the moment we entered into the house, the clothes fell immediately. Jake had already asked everyone to leave the entire mansion to just the two of us. "Fuck!" Jake groaned huskily at my touch. But then he pulled me closer, his lips finding mine in a fervent kiss. He got bolder, matching my intensity. He pressed me against the wall, my legs crossed against his hips as he squeezed my ass and deepened the kiss. When his lips left mine, they trailed down towards my jaw and then to my neckline before settling on the soft spot of mate bond. As soon as he sucked on the spot near my neck, I gasped heavily, a pleasurable wave spreading across me, sending goosebumps all over. "Urrgghhh..." I groaned, my voice muffled with pleasurable whimpers. The sounds of our passion filled the room as Jake’s touch ignited a fire within me. He then carried me over and placed me on a desk after flipping everything down. He parted my legs, rubbing my clit, continuing his onslaught.

    Just then, Kathy and John approached, as if the weight of the day was already pressing on them. "Elsa," Kathy called out, her voice bright. "It’s really happening, huh? Are you sure you don't want this?" I smiled, feeling her nervous energy buzzing around her. "No! You ready for this?" Kathy let out a breath, her eyes scanning the faces of the pack members scattered across the clearing. "I have trained for this my whole life, but now that it’s here, I just...I don’t want to screw it up." "You won’t," I assured her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "The pack believes in you. And John will be by your side, as will all of us." John stepped forward and gave Kathy a reassuring nod. "She is right, Kath. You have got this." Kathy’s eyes softened as she looked at John. The bond between them was undeniable. They weren’t mates, but they had a connection that ran deeper. "I couldn’t do this without you," Kathy said quietly, and John leaned closer and kissed her. "Gross! Just get a room alr

    Elsa's POV As the door clicked shut behind me, Xander leaned casually against the sleek black car. He was like a breath of fresh air. Jake was off meeting the council about Sylvie’s trial at the werewolf council. Jake had turned the werewolf world upside down and found out Sylvie hiding in the Silvermoon pack. There were too many proofs against her and even the Silvermoon pack after learning the truth had given their statement against her and Dane. Still, I hadn’t been able to shake the restless feeling all morning. Even though I was invited, I didn’t want to be there. If I had my way, she wouldn’t be rotting in prison; she would be dead like Dane. Well, it was Lydia who under Jake's guidance managed to gather most evidence against Sylvie, gaining support from Jake. Even if I was wary of her, I knew she was Kathy's mother and also the Luna of my former and still friendly pack. "Ready?" Xander asked. I was glad to see him. He had recovered well and now he was even acting as my cha

    Elsa's POV The battle was chaos. Jake’s side of wolves was nothing if not relentless and brutal. They were a sight to behold in a war. And I was only contributing as little as I could. They crashed into Dane’s forces, shifting the tide almost instantly. The clash of wolves was deafening, the air thick with growls, the tearing of flesh, and the sound of bodies hitting the ground. The blood beneath us was stained to dark red, showing that this was a blood bath. “Stay together!” Jake’s voice roared through the pack link, commanding and fierce. “Don’t let them break the line!” I could hear him, too, perhaps through our bond. I could feel the determination surging through the pack bond. Jake’s presence was like an anchor in the madness. His massive black wolf, a towering figure of raw strength, tore through the enemy ranks. With every swipe of his claws, with every snap of his jaws, he was taking down Dane’s men one by one and their numbers began to dwindle faster. If not for my fat

    Elsa's POV"Elsa!" Asher closed his eyes, embracing his fate. How could he? How could he accept death?I shivered, watching in horror as Damon closed in on Asher. His grip tightened, and Asher’s face paled. I looked at everyone, hoping someone would save him. But no one dared to move an inch. And Dane looked at them like he was watching a great show.My heart pounded in my chest, and I screamed inside. But before I could do anything something massive struck Damon, sending him crashing to the ground. Asher coughed. But he was safe.A howl tore through the forest, echoing in the night. The sound was fierce, raw, and powerful. My vision blurred for a second before I realized it had come from me. It was me who had saved Asher!I stood there, my body no longer human, but my wolf. I had shifted. Despite the drugs. When or how, I had no idea. All I knew was that this power coursing through me was new, stronger than anything I had ever felt. I growled, stepping forward, my eyes locking on Dane

    Damon's POVWhen I finally reached the waterbody, I let Elsa rest beneath the shelter of an old oak. The madness in me simmered, threatening to break free. I was a mere puppet of Dane, and my job was to stop Elsa from shifting. If needed, I should kill her as well.But something didn't allow me to even do a single scratch on her. She seemed so precious, so important. And I had been restless ever since I brought her to my home for some years now. That place, which I really didn't bother about, was beginning to feel like home.By now, one thing I have realized. Despite these feelings, this fatherly love, I still had no control when I saw her as a threat to Dane's mission. I was afraid, this side of me, the dominant side of me, would harm her eventually. The only thing that kept me in control and my sanity intact for now was sharp, shooting pain.I looked at her. She was unconscious and helpless. I should protect her, care for her, and stand for her as her father. I wanted to tell her how

    Elsa's POVWhen I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that I was alone by a tree. A lot of weird plants were spread across me as if to mask my scent. I groaned, scratching my head. I looked for my father, still tipsy. I looked around, trying to remember where I was, and what had happened. But everything was a blur. The last thing I remember was the accident spot. And then I saw the moonlight glistening over a waterbody, not far from here.Water.I walked towards it, feeling thirsty. I washed my face and quenched my thirst, but that's when I saw him. Damon, my father, was sitting on a large stone, staring at nothing. His fingers rubbed against his wrist constantly, like a loop and he kept repeating something frantically. I walked towards him, my steps slow and deliberate. That's when the pendant glistened under the moonlight and I realized what he was doing. I gasped when I saw the wound on his chest. He was rubbing the crescent moon's sharp edgest so harshly, his skin on his ches

Dane had changed this place to a den for criminals and illegal activities. As soon as we stepped out of the vehicle, I saw Dane and Lunaria’s forces crawling all over it like rats. I clenched my fists as my small team, Xander and I crept closer, already catching the scent of wolves and rogues.Dane or Genelia were nowhere to be found. “You have got to be kidding me,” Xander muttered, eyes scanning the crowd. “They really brought in Lunaria to fight with Asher?”My hands trembled as claws emerged. "It’s not just them," I said, gritting my teeth. "Rogues. Lots of them.""Why?" Xander was confused."Maybe he knows He wasn't expecting Asher, but me..." I whispered, clenching my fists"Shit!" Xander groaned as we charged towards them. The air was thick with the smell of violence. A snarl ripped from my throat, challenging them. Claws and teeth, blood and
