★ELAINE'S POV★

For a split second, Ashley squinted her eyes at me, then she took in a deep breath before saying; “Well if one is in love, you will feel as if you can't do without that person. Sometimes, you find yourself doing things you never knew you could do for them. Your thoughts are filled with them every single second.” She managed a small smile then add, “And if for instance, you are going through a rough day, merely thinking about them can brighten you up.”

I expelled a sharp breath of air. “Alright then, thank you.”

Then Tania walked over to me and nudged my right shoulder. “Why did you ask that question, my lady? Are you already falling for the Alpha?” She teased, raising her brows at me.

But instead of smiling at her remark, I issued her a dead-gripping scowl and she immediately began to apologize. “I am so sorry, my lady. I am so sorry, please pardon me.”

“You better be.” I breathed before returning my attention to Ashley. “Well, you can leave now and get some rest. Al

    ★ELAINE'S POV★My heart skipped a beat. Oh my goodness, Tania!Without waiting to hear anything else from Ashley, I took to my heels and sprinted out of my chambers; through the hallway, while Ashley ran right behind me. Although my head was pounding from the throbbing pain and it was sort of blurring my vision, I didn't mind. Tania is the most important person in my tumultuous mind right now. And nothing must happen to her! Not even a strand of her hair should be touched!Darting through the hallway, out to the main corridor, I bumped into someone and almost fell to the ground. A loud yelp escaped my lips as the strong pair of hands held my waist to stop me from falling. But I didn't even wait to see who it was, before pulling out of his grip to run out of the fortress. Hot tears poured down my cheeks as I raced down the flight of stairs as if my life depended on it. And to be honest, it did. Tania has been my pillar of solace for as long as I could remember. We grew up together. W

    ★ELAINE'S POV★Several thoughts raced through my mind as I sprinted toward Beta Adrian. Is she dead? What's wrong with her? With each dreaded step taken toward the Beta, my heart was thumping rapidly against my chest. At this rate, it might as well jump right out. My breathing shuddered and the sole of my feet was hurting from the prick of sand, yet, I didn't mind. “Moon Goddess, just this once. Please save Tania for me.” Tears rolled down my cheeks as I continued to make my way toward Beta Adrian. “I will no longer blame you for everything if Tania survives this." By the time I got closer to Beta Adrian, I froze. The relief, the happiness, the excitement, and the profound gratitude that coursed through my veins were enough to get me tearing up again. Alas, Tania was still alive, but she had bruises on her knee and arms. I guess that was why Beta Adrian had to carry her. Beta Adrian slowly let her stand on her feet, and I wasted no time wrapping my arms around her small body fram

    ★ELAINE'S POV★Beta Adrian briefly pulled away from me, prompting a stab of hurt to cut through my guts. I instantly lowered my gaze to meet the floor. My heart sank and I thought of something plausible to say, just so I could avert the awkwardness and tension between us. But before I could assimilate what was going on, he tilted my chin up and collided his lips with mine.My breath hitched. Butterflies erupted from my stomach and I curled my toes in ecstasy. The kiss was sweet, passionate; full of wants, needs, and desires. From the way his fingers lingered on the base of my neck, I could tell that he wanted me, just as much as I did. A soft moan emanated from the back of my throat when he began to nibble my lips. Down there, I could feel my thighs heating up, and my pants were already wet. However, Beta Adrian pulled away shortly after, shattering my fantasies into fragments. His breathing ragged as he spoke. “I am sorry for taking advantage of you, Luna.” he apologized, keeping

    ★BETA ADRIAN'S POV★ †The same day† Rubbing my eyelids tiredly, I pulled myself to a sitting position. I woke up this morning with a migraine because I couldn't get a single bit of sleep after what transpired between Luna and me, last night. Why did I kiss her back? Have I been fantasizing about Luna Elaine for a long time? Or was it because I haven't gotten laid in a while? I shook my head in denial, shoving those weird thoughts away from the forefront of my brain. What happened with Luna Elaine was a damn mistake and it should not be repeated. I scolded myself. A soft knock erupted on my room door, and I shuffled out of bed, slipped into a white cloak, and demanded the person to come in. Alas, my omega, Gaius walked into my room. He bowed in deference. “Greetings, Beta. You asked me to remind you about taking a quick survey of the ruins from the omega quarters,” he informed me. “That's true. What about Sylvester? Has he been able to find out the cause of the fire?” I inquired, w

    ★BETA ADRIAN'S POV★Her brows creased deeper in confusion. “You are just like me, how?” I licked my lips and stated. “This is not my actual pack,” I informed her and she stared back at me in disbelief. Just as I was about to enunciate further, we heard a couple of footsteps emanating from the entrance to the library. Instantly, I released my grip around her waist, and she took two steps backward. I watched her pick up the book on the floor and pretend to study it. A small smile tugged at the corner of my lips and I was lost, admiring her beautiful features when I heard their voices. “Oh look, Sydney.....it's the Beta!” My head snapped in their direction and I hardened my jaw to give me that serious look.Three young she-wolves made their way toward me and they bowed at once. “Greetings, Beta.” came their chorused greeting. “Greetings,” I replied sharply, observing that they made no effort to greet the Luna. “We are here to study.” One of them told me. “Yes, Beta.” Another chir

    ★ELAINE'S POV★ I cast him a cursory glance, before asking; “What do you want to show me?” A small smirk darkened his features. “You will see. Just follow me quietly, let me keep showing you around." Returning the smile, I rose to my feet. “That is fine by me.” Somehow, I wasn't sure but maybe because Beta Adrian shared his own story, alas, I was starting to feel like I could trust him. Perhaps a little. Beta Adrian and I walked side by side through the pack, without holding hands. He continued to show me around, while people bowed to pay him respect. On the other hand, I was unbothered as they acted like they didn't notice me. With Beta Adrian by my side, nothing seems to bother me. In a short span of twenty minutes, I found myself at the edge of the same lake, I cried after Alpha Damon slapped me. My eyes hovered around the crystalline lake, glistening under the sunlight. The sight was therapeutic and mind-blowing. It somewhat made me feel lost in thought and entrapped out of r

    ★ELAINE'S POV★“Yes, Beta Adrian” I looked away from him with my cheeks flushing in embarrassment. “Please make love to me.”Somehow, he closed the distance between us, without me noticing. His hand snaked around the back of my neck — his fingers warm against my cooler skin.My face automatically tilted up towards his, but my lips parted open out of sheer pleasure.His mouth captured mine, and this time, it was gentle, coaxing and I felt like he'd lit a fire that ran through my veins. His lips teased mine inviting me closer, and before I knew it, my hands were pressed against his chest. The fiery warmth of his skin burned through the expensive cotton of his shirt.Thereafter, his chest muscles shifted beneath my hands as he lifted his other arm to curve around my waist, drawing me closer to him. Hip to hip, there was no denying that he was fully aroused as me.Tension built in my body, coiling tight as he deepened our kiss and coaxed my lips open with his probing tongue.He tasted of f

    ★ELAINE'S POV★Colors drained from Tania's face immediately, and she scrambled away from me in shock. Her eyes narrowed at my face, as she stared at me in disbelief. It was obvious she was judging me, and I didn't like it. I thought she would understand me. “Tan—" “What were you thinking, my lady?" Her question echoed through the four walls of my room and I swallowed hard. “Please, don't judge me, Tania," I said with a defeated tone, feeling slightly embarrassed of myself. “This is huge, Elaine! I know I'm not supposed to judge you, but what? You slept with the Beta?" She reiterated in awe. I lowered my gaze to my sweaty fingers and fiddled with them. “Yes, I know. But I just find myself attracted to him more than I expect— I know it's only been days, but the heart wants what it wants, Tania." I started, trying to dissuade whatever thoughts were going through her mind. “Your heart is wanting what would put you in danger." She blurts, gesturing at the both of us. " Put you and m

    ★ALPHA DAMON'S POV★Inhaling deeply, I took a step forward to face Donovan. Fine, I believed he has every reason to be angry with me. Just because he found love with my maid, I humiliated him in front of the pack and almost ended his life. Not only that, I ripped him off the Delta title and banished him from my pack. So yes, he had every right to stay mad at me. “Donovan..." I started. “I didn't mean to come into your house unannounced. And I must add that what you guys have here is beautiful.” “Thank you for making us realize that we are worth so much more." He sneered back. I slowly nod, feeling quite guilty for making hasty decisions without giving it a second thought. But it has already happened. The past can't be changed, yet I could make amends. Taking in another breath, I looked squarely at Donovan before speaking again: “The Delta position has been vacant for so long. What do you say about taking over again? I think it really suits you better.”A faint smile became visibl

    ★ELAINE'S POV★†Five Months Later†“Touch your mouth." I requested with a smile as I addressed Ashley's one-year-old daughter, Marianne. Alas, she brought her tiny fingers to her lips. “Very good." I commended. “Now, show me your nose." “My nuhsee." She cooed before touching her well-defined small nose. I smiled again in delight. “That's my girl.” Ashley and her husband, Donovan went to the farm, leaving Marianne in my care seeing as I couldn't do any arduous tasks in my state. In truth, they've been supportive and accommodating since the moment I arrived. Ashley was very excited when she found out I was pregnant with a pup, and without judgment, she continuously lectured me about the journey of motherhood. Also, she helped me forget my plight with the Lycanfrost pack in a hurry. Days turned into months, and I found myself getting over the miseries. I was able to wield the courage to acknowledge that my pup doesn't have a father. So I'd have to be his father and mother, train h

    ★ELAINE★“Why don't you let me go with you, my Lady?" Amy queried apprehensively. I shook my head in refusal for the umpteenth time. “Thank you for helping me pack my luggage, but I'll be fine on my own. I can't subject you to living the kind of life I choose to live.” Having said that, I assisted myself onto the horse's back and grasped its rein tightly between my fist. “This is goodbye, Amy,” I said to her trying not to sound heartbroken. “Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for looking after me up until this moment. You can have your life back now.” “But I have never—” Not letting her complete her statement, I kicked the horse, spurring it to start moving and it instantly started galloping before increasing its pace. Although, riding horses wasn't good for my pregnant state. I had no other choice. I knew I had to be stronger now, not just for myself alone. My unborn pup is inclusive.Once, I turned my head to look at the Lycanfrost pack as I drew further

    ★ELAINE★“Ow!” My eyelids flutter open with an inaudible groan. It felt like my whole body was rammed against the wall and my head ached so badly. At first, my vision was blurry but little by little, I was starting to adjust to my surroundings, acknowledging that I was now in my chamber. Pulling myself to a sitting position, I saw Gina seated at the foot of the bed, breastfeeding her baby. “Hey, Gina,” I called softly but she didn't respond. “Gina,” I called again, thinking she didn't hear me the first time. Yet, she didn't respond. Making my voice a little louder, I called for the third time. “Gina!" “What?" She yelled back at me and my mouth dropped open in shock. “Why are you disturbing me, Elaine? Of course, I heard you the first, second, and third time. I am not DEAF!” She stressed out the word for me and I couldn't believe my ears. Gina has never reacted in such a manner towards me before. What could be the.....It was then memories of everything that happened before

    ★ALPHA DAMON★“I- I d-on't understand.” Elaine stuttered, taking two steps back, away from me. The fit of rage burning through my veins was indescribable. I felt like snagging her neck like a twig for doing something this ludicrous to me. My Beta and my Luna? For fuck sake, I have never felt so disrespected until I discovered this has been going on right under my nose for quite a while. “How long have you been sleeping with Adrian?!” I bellowed angrily, making her flinch on her spot. Yet I didn't feel any remorseful about it. “I-it's not what you think, Alph—”“—Then tell me what I'm supposed to think!” I fired back. Not letting her finish her statement. Damn! The angst of being betrayed by the people you once cherished was quite overwhelming. My eyes wandered to Adrian, whose head hung low and hasn't said a word since. Then I returned my glare to Elaine. “You better start talking!” Just then she broke down in tears and went to her knees immediately. “It's not what you think,

    ★ELAINE★“You are an animal! A fucking psychopath!” I cussed angrily at him. “What did I do, Elai—” Beta Adrian tried to touch me, but I yanked my arm out of his reach. “Don't fucking touch me with those filthy, bloody hands!” I shrieked. “You can't just keep cussing me out, Elaine. If there is something I did wrong, tell me. I won't hesitate to apologize to you, you know that right?" His voice sounded apologetic and warm. If I wasn't aware of his heinous past, I would have thought he was the same saint I fell in love with. The Beta that swept me right off my feet from the very moment I came to this pack. The kindhearted, warm, and loving Beta Adrian. But he isn't anymore. He is nothing but a psychotic asshole! Staring at him blankly for a couple of seconds, I was still trying to wrap my head around how gruesome he could be. Such malicious acts on poor innocent children could never justify his quest for bloodthirsty revenge. The sound of their wails as the blade sliced throug

    ★ELAINE★I remained in my spot with tears pouring down my cheeks. All these while, I have been living a lie with Beta Adrian. He made me fall in love with him. He made me find solace in him. He made me wish I was never with Alpha Damon in the first place. Yet, he was this cruel? Although Alpha Damon had his dark past, he wasn't as grievous as Beta Adrian. My head was spinning out of its axis and I was struggling to breathe. “What is going on here?" Lady Gina walked into the room, looking from me to Tara and then back to me. Not wanting to say anything, I wiped the tears away from the corner of my eyes. “It is nothing. Tara and I were just going down memory lane. We were reflecting on our past and how far we've come." "Oh!" Lady Gina flashed a bright grin at us. “Everyone has a story. Tara, would you like to hear mine after the party?" Tara shakily responded with a nod. “Yes, I will." “Okay, good...but first, we have to prepare the celebrant for the party.” She whisked me back

    ★ELAINE★A wave of shock swept through my entire body. Feeling the colors drain from my cheeks, I readjusted myself on the chair and asked; “What do you mean?" Tara took my hand in hers, then pulled me towards the bed and I went, unresisting. My heart was thumping rapidly against my chest. At this rate, it might as well jump right out. Was this the secret Tania mentioned to me that night? I thought to myself and as much as I hoped whatever Tara was going to say would not hurt me. My gut feeling told me it would. “I don't get it, please explain.” “Do you remember when I thanked you for rescuing me, I made a statement that if I had returned to the pack, they would kill me without a second thought because I don't belong there." Nodding my head hastily, I urged her to continue. “Good. I am originally from the silver moon pack." My mind began to race faster than usual. I was struggling to couple up my scattered thoughts together. If I could remember, Beta Adrian had once told me t

    ★ELAINE★★FOURS DAYS LATER★Seconds rolled into minutes. Minutes into an hour, and hour into days. Soon four days had passed by in a jiffy. I lay fully awake on the bed, but my eyes remained closed. I could not believe that I was finally turning nineteen today. Indeed, that soothsayer was right. A lot has happened since we last spoke and everything she predicted, unfolded right after the other. Today is the day I promised Gina to disclose the news about my pregnancy to Alpha Damon. Yet, I didn't know if I was ready. Would I ever be? I asked myself. Gina hummed softly, whilst folding some of her baby's laundry. Very soon, my baby bump would become visible and there would be no hiding it from the rest of the world. A part of me felt I ought to be grateful that Alpha Damon happened to be the father of my unborn baby. If he wasn't, I didn't want to imagine the catastrophe that would unfold later on. Something soft touched down on my forehead, his scent filling my nostrils at once.
