Sally POVI decided to take the lead on this. When I saw Elijah in pain like that, I felt a need to make him feel better.For once, I wanted to go along with the mate bond and listen to my instincts. We were not in danger anymore. What were we waiting for? If I said I wasn’t nervous, I would be lying. The closest I had ever come to having sex was when Alpha Richard forced his hand in my pants. Fortunately, thanks to Elijah, he never got the opportunity to get further than that.When we arrived in our bedroom, my heart raced in anticipation and I turned around to look at Elijah. I felt nervous, but when my lips met his, everything melted away.His hands started to roam my body, leaving goosebumps in their trail. I snaked my hands under his damp shirt and slowly caressed his chest and abs. Elijah hissed at the contact and pulled away from the kiss. His eyes were a storm of love and lust.He lightly tugged at the hem of my shirt.“I want you.” He whispered huskily and warmth pooled be
Elijah POVHer taste was intoxicating, her moans were music to my ears, and the feeling of her naked skin against mine made me come back to life.I could never get enough of her. Sally followed my every movement from the bed, her juices still dripping from between her thighs. My pants were painfully tight, so I struggled to free my member from its prison. Bringing my pants down to my ankles made my c*ck spring to attention. Sally stared at my c*ck, surprise and fear flickered in her eyes. In a way, I didn’t understand why she was so surprised. I saw her peeking one time when we had left Midnight pack. But on the other hand, that was outside in the cold and I was slightly bigger now. I crawled back onto the bed until my face was only a few inches away from hers. “Don’t worry.” I whispered. “You’ll be just fine.”I reached down between us and gently rubbed her weeping flower. Sally gasped at the contact and bit her lip. I let my finger glide around her entrance, coating it in her
Elijah POV“Hey, wait up.”I recognized Joe’s voice immediately and I sighed before I turned around to see Joe jogging up to me.We hadn’t spoken since I ran out of the sparring circle yesterday and my stomach was in knots the whole morning at the thought of facing him again.Yes, I was embarrassed about what happened. I was sure that Joe would start asking questions and I didn’t know what to tell him. I barely understood my own feelings about my father, but it felt impossible to form those feelings into words and express them to someone else.My thoughts were interrupted by a gasp and I realized that Joe was staring at my mark. “Congratulations man, I’m really happy to see that you and Sally finally got around to mark each other.” He winked.“Yeah, thanks.” I said and awkwardly scratched the back of my neck. “Everything has been so hectic since we met so we never really got around to the whole mating part until we came here.” ”I’m happy to hear that you feel safe enough to finally
Sally POVThe rope cut into my wrists as I struggled to get free. Alpha Richard stood in front of me with a silver knife. ”Let’s have some fun.” He sneered.He cut the front of my shirt with the knife before unbuckling my belt and pulling my pants down.Cold air hit my bare skin and I tried to scream.But I couldn’t.It felt like my mouth was full of cotton.I couldn’t breathe.Suddenly, Alpha Richard knocked me to the ground and straddled the back of my thighs.”Stay still, little girl, or he dies.”Alpha Richard pointed at Elijah, standing on his knees with a gun to his head.I stopped struggling and Alpha Richard gripped my hips harshly before thrusting into me.My own scream woke me up. I put a shaky hand on my chest and took deep breaths to calm my racing heart.I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 11.15 PM, I pulled the covers off me and went out into the kitchen for a glass of water.The Beta wing was quiet. George was called to a late tactical meeting regarding the thre
Sally POV“Damn babe, you look hot!” Avery squealed. We were in Avery’s room in the packhouse. She helped me get ready for my date with Elijah. Avery had curled my long hair and put on some makeup. She had put on a soft eyeshadow and a winged eyeliner that made my green eyes pop. She also used some blush and highlighter to accentuate my cheekbones and finished with a dark red lip pen and some light lip gloss. When I looked at my reflection in the mirror I barely recognized myself. “Girl, you are an artist.” I gasped. Avery chuckled. “Oh please, you are beautiful even without the makeup. It’s hard to create beauty, but really easy to accentuate when it’s already there.” She shrugged. “I saw it on the first day you got here. You are a badass and you look great.”I gaped at her. “Come on. I really thought the same thing about you.” I laughed. “You always look so good and have great taste in clothes. I remember feeling like something the cat dragged in when we got here.”Avery snorte
Elijah POVI had done my research and discovered that on this night, there was a Fall festival in town that started at 7 in the evening. The center of the Fall festival was in a park just a few blocks from the restaurant and Sally and I walked there from the restaurant. There were market stands lining the pathway through the park and decorative lights in the trees and bushes. Sally looked around her with wide eyes. “This is so cute!” She squealed. She took my hand and we strolled through the park together. When I saw a stand with cotton candy I pulled Sally aside. “You like cotton candy?” I asked. Sally nodded eagerly. “Oh, I haven’t had it in a long time.”When we continued walking with a fluffy sugary cloud each, I glanced at Sally. She was beaming. I noticed that since we came to the Blue Eclipse pack, Sally had become happier. Her eyes glowed and her hair glistened in the lights. She looked breathtakingly beautiful from the moment I laid eyes on her, but I could tell that
Trigger Warning: This chapter contains very disturbing details, such as animal cruelty and sexual assault!Elijah POVFLASHBACKThe gun trembled in my hand and I stared at him in shock.“Wh- who is she?” I asked.“It doesn’t matter.” He said. “The less you know about someone, the easier it is to kill them.”I studied the woman, she seemed to be in her early twenties, had short brown hair cut in a fringe and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a torn shirt, dirty blue jeans and black boots. She was chained to the wall by her wrists and when I took a step forward she scurried the furthest she could get away from me. A sob escaped her lips and tears trailed down her cheeks as she started to plead with me.“Please, don’t kill me… I’ll leave and never come back, I promise.”“Do it now.” My father ordered. I raised the gun in my trembling hands and the woman sobbed louder, shielding her face with her hands. My stomach churned and I felt my whole body struggle against what was asked of me.
Elijah POV“I don’t understand.” Sally whimpered while she cried. “How can he be so cruel to force his thirteen year old son to kill an innocent woman? To kill your pet as punishment for refusing? This is the most insane thing I have ever heard in my entire life.”I put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to me. “Through it all, I still managed to keep myself from losing my soul to the gruesome things my father wanted from me. I hatched a plan as backup if I ever found someone in the same position as Sarah was. I thank Sarah for what she did for me, because when I finally had to put the plan in action, it was to save my precious mate.”Sally leaned her head on my shoulder. “She sure was a special person.” She agreed. “I think she would be happy with how you turned out.”I smiled weakly.“I hope I didn’t let her down.”We sat quietly for a moment, before I noticed that Sally was shivering lightly, so we headed back to the packhouse. “I hope I didn’t ruin our date.” I sh
Five years later.Sally POVThe kids squealed and played by the lake shore, splashing water at each other and laughing. Elijah and Alex were jumping around with them and I chuckled over their antics. George was sitting down on the boulder beside me. “There’s this thing I’ve been thinking about lately.” He said hesitantly. I looked at him. “What?”George shrugged. “I was just wondering, those months you spent as a Rogue on your own, Why did you come this way? Is it a coincidence that you just happened to stumble into the territory of your neighbouring pack?” He asked. I leaned my head on his shoulder. “No it’s not a coincidence.” I admitted. “I stayed outside the border, but I just hoped that I could catch a glimpse of you. Just to know that you made it out of Red Ridge and that you were okay. There was no way I could even try to settle down somewhere before I was sure that you were okay.”George hugged me.“Thank you, Lala.” He whispered. “For everything.”I smiled and we sile
Sally POVWe got to work right away. Alpha Hudson asked if we could help him get an overview of the situation at Midnight pack.The vast majority of the warriors submitted to Alpha Hudson immediately, which was a huge relief. The ones that refused, Alpha Hudson cast out as Rogues hoping they could find another pack to live in. After a few hours, a large van pulled up in front of the packhouse and Avery jumped out of the car along with Luna Roberta, Alex and a group of other civilian people from the Blue Eclipse pack, ready to help. I saw Alpha Hudson embrace Avery and kiss her passionately. When they pulled away, I saw Avery blushing and I said teasingly. “So, I guess you’re a Luna now.”Avery squealed and rushed to hug me.“We were so worried.” She whispered. The others walked up to us and Alex hugged me too. “I’m sorry.” He said. “I’m so, so sorry. If I hadn’t stayed in the field that day, they would never have had the opportunity to take you.”I shook my head at him. “Don’t s
Sally POVAlpha Richard doubled over in pain while I saw Pasha fall to her knees. Luke caught her and caressed her hair, whispering words in her ear to help ease the pain. I turned back to Alpha Richard and he was slowly recovering from the pain. He looked back at Pasha with hate-filled eyes. “I guess that now I don’t have to be merciful to you.” He growled. “You’ll die along with any other traitor in this pack, you worthless Omega whore!” He shifted back into his wolf and pounced on Pasha and Luke who were still sitting on the steps in front of the packhouse. I saw movement beside me and saw Hudson shift and jump to cut Alpha Richard off mid-air. They tumbled around before gathering their bearings. Alpha Richard snarled at Hudson and Hudson retaliated with a roar. That was a challenge. Hudson was challenging Alpha Richard for the title. Under normal circumstances, a challenge would be started in human form while going over some ground rules. One of the rules was that you wer
Elijah POVI couldn’t believe what I was hearing. There was no way that I would believe what my father had just said if it wasn’t for the fact that I was standing right next to him. I trusted the plans that he gave us to invade the Midnight pack, but I thought that he did it for Sally. It was his natural instinct to protect the Luna, so I just thought that was his reason for helping us. The rest of the things he said when he handed the plans over, I just considered bullsh*t.Alpha Richard looked bewildered. “Are you crazy?” He asked.I glanced at my father.If he was afraid, you definitely couldn’t tell from his posture. Instead, he looked really determined. “No.” He said. “Actually, it’s the first time in years that I’m thinking clearly.”Alpha Richard seemed unsure what to do for a few seconds, but then he sighed and his usual smirk made its way across his facial features. “Very well.” He said. “I won’t stand for traitors in my pack anyway, so I’ll just kill you first.”My fathe
Sally POVPasha and I stiffened and scrambled to the furthest corner of our cells when we heard the door to the dungeon open. I didn’t really know what to expect. In a way, I hoped that it was just Nick. He was the only one that was nice to me here.We heard some shuffling and footsteps coming down the stairs. I frowned. Either the person had four feet or there were two people coming our way. I looked up and couldn’t believe what I saw. It was Hudson and Luke that stormed into the dungeon. “Hudson?” I asked. Hudson’s head snapped in my direction and his eyes widened. “Sally.” He hissed. “Don’t worry. We’re here to get you out.”Luke tossed the keys to him and he started to unlock the cell door. When the door opened, Luke rushed into the cell and crouched down beside me. “Are you hurt, Lala?” He asked worriedly. I blinked rapidly to stop the tears from falling from my eyes. Luke hugged me tightly and I groaned in pain. “Oh, sorry.” He mumbled. “Do you think that you can stan
Sally POVThe sound of footsteps made me peek out through the bars of the cell door. I saw Nick coming down the stairs and I heaved a sigh of relief. He gestured at me to step away from the door and opened it. “How did it go?” I whispered. “I guess that either it went well and you just came back, or you chickened out and didn’t go at all.”Nick scoffed. “What do you take me for? Of course I went! Elijah has a plan and they’re setting it in motion as we speak.”I could barely contain my excitement. “Really?” I almost squealed. “Yeah, I gave them the intel they needed to get onto pack lands.” He whispered. “Get ready to leave, because they’re on their way!”“Thank you.” I whispered. He held up a syringe and smiled at me apologetically. “Don’t thank me yet.” He said. “Alpha still gave me orders to give you this.”I groaned.“Can’t we just skip it?” I asked. Nick shook his head. “He’ll feel if your wolf is awake, and we’ll have no explanation for that.” He replied. “Hopefully you
Sally POVThe sound of someone crying woke me up and I looked around in confusion. At first, I thought I imagined it. But then I heard it again. Despite my sore body, I slowly pulled the blanket off me and limped over to where my clothes were scattered on the floor. I winced in pain as I put them on. It was freezing in the dungeon since the windows were open and the cold air blew inside constantly. Once I had my clothes on, I sauntered over to the door and looked out through the bars. The hallway outside was empty, but I found the source of the crying. It came from the cell opposite mine.It was a girl around my age. She was sitting huddled into a corner with her knees to her chest. I noticed that she was naked and even though her cell didn’t have a window, I figured that she must be cold. I walked back to the bed and grabbed the blanket before I went back to the door. “Psst.” I whispered. The girl looked up with tearful eyes. “Hey.” I said and held out the blanket. “Are you c
Nick POV I muttered curses under my breath as I ran through the forest in my wolf form. It had taken some work, but I managed to sneak out of the territory and took off towards the border to the Blue Eclipse pack. This was a terrible idea. How could I let myself be talked into risking my life and betraying my pack by this teenage girl that came out of nowhere? But in a way, it made sense. She was Elijah’s mate. My son.I guess ‘you never know what you’ve had until you lost it’ has never been more true. The second Elijah’s body dropped to the ground, I had to struggle to keep my composure. It was exactly what I had tried to avoid for years and it still happened right in front of me. There was no excuse for what I did to Elijah. But the Goddess knows that I love my son. I should have told him the truth a long time ago. I should have trusted him instead of taking out all the pack’s high expectations on him. It wasn’t fair. Now, I feared that it was too late. There was no reason for
Sally POVI felt someone lift me up and put me down on something soft. I wanted to fight back, but all I could manage was a soft groan. “Shh, I’ve got you.” A low voice said. I realized that it was Nick and I relaxed slightly. Whatever he wanted, he was not here to hurt me. I pried my eyes open and saw Nick rinse excess water from a cloth. Then he carefully patted the cloth on the welts and bruises. “What are you doing?” I asked with a hoarse voice. “You still have Wolfsbane in your system.” He said. “You can’t heal quickly, so I’m cleaning your wounds so that they don’t get infected.”He carefully washed my arm, then took my hand. “I need to fix your shoulder.” He said. “It’s going to hurt, but just lay still.”I nodded. With a swift move, he put the bone back in the socket and I groaned loudly from the pain. He gently placed my arm back down and I bit my lip trying not to cry.Nick looked at me with sad eyes. “It’s okay.” He whispered. “It’s okay to break down if that’s wh
