★BETA ADRIAN'S POV★

In shock, I narrowed my eyes at Gaius' face. Does he understand what he just said? Alpha Damon wasn't supposed to be back until after two days. He's meant to spend five days there, and it's just been three days. So what's he saying?

I took a quick glimpse at Luna Elaine, sleeping on the bed. Before I could attempt to go and wake her up, Alpha Damon's voice rang out from the hallway.

“Adrian... I asked your servant to check if you are in your chambers, so I won't waste my time coming here." He announced the second he appeared right in front of me.

“Good morning, Damon." I greeted, swallowing the hard lump in my throat. “I thought you weren't supposed to be back until two days?"

“Yes, I contributed a large sum of money to the black fur pack and laid down some certain strategies. So I decided to leave first." He explained.

Drumming my fingers nervously against the door ledge, I tried to think of something else to say. Was it just me, or it's so hot here? I could f

    ★ELAINE'S POV★While bandaging Tania's wound, I looked up to see her staring intently at me with a wide grin plastered on her lips. “What?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. “You seem to be glowing these days, my lady. Is it because of him?" I shrugged. “I don't know, Tania. But I think it is. Although it seems wrong, deep down in my guts it feels right. And I have really grown fond of the Beta." Tania took my hands in hers, prompting me to stare at her beautiful eyes. “I want you to be happy, Elaine. Since you have grown fond of him, I'll make sure to support you and make sure the Alpha never gets to find out." I flashed a smile at her. “Thank you so much, Tania." We heard a knock on the door, so I proceeded to answer it since Tania could barely walk. Opening the door, I met a male omega standing right there. He bowed the moment he saw me and greeted me. “Greetings, Luna. The Beta requests your presence at the frosty lake." Instantly, my heart leaped. “Please tell him, I'll be th

    ★ELAINE'S POV★It has been five days since Beta Adrian ended things with me. I have been trying to avoid him like a plague. However, anytime we came across each other, I ignore him completely.Throughout these five days, Tania has been the one consoling me, because no one has to know why I'm depressed. Whenever my presence was needed, she help by covering the dark patches beneath my eyes, concealing my misery. We usually talk about our lives back at the blood moon pack and other little fond memories. But now that she has returned to the newly built omega quarters, I became lonely more than ever. I felt unwanted and abandoned because no one wants me. Yearning to take a fresh breath of air, I stepped out of the fortress, to the lake. My mind was plagued with several thoughts— the first time I set my eyes on Beta Adrian when he tried to pacify me after seeing Alpha Damon murder someone in cold blood. When he rescued Tania from the fire and the moment I kissed him. Yet, everything ende

    ★ELAINE'S POV★As I walked through the long hallway heading back to my room, the echoes of my name split through the atmosphere. Almost at once, I recognized the voice as Tania's so I halted and turned toward the direction of the voice.“Lady Elaine!" She appeared from the corners, running towards me. Instantly, my brows laced with worry. What could be wrong? Did something happen? I asked myself. But watching her run showed how much her wounds have healed, so it had to be something else. By the time she got to me, she paused, panting heavily while trying to catch her breath at the same time. I waited patiently until she was finally able to talk. “What's wrong, Tania?" I asked, arching a brow.She straightened her posture and faced me. “There is a woman at the pack center, who happens to be a soothsayer and she's predicting people's future."Was this why she ran to me? Confused and dumbstruck, I stared blankly at her without uttering a word. And She was quick to observe my reactio

    ★ELAINE'S POV★I could feel my blood pressure rise and my stomach twisting into a knot. To say I'm perplexed at this point is an understatement. My mind was running fifty kilometers per second. All my life, I thought my birthmark was the problem and I have thought of every possible way to get rid of it, and now, the soothsayer is saying I'm the problem. Bile was starting to rise in my throat, I knew coming here was a mistake and I shouldn't have agreed when Tania talked me into it.Not wanting to hear any more from her, I rose to my feet and muttered a small. "Thank you." Then I proceeded to leave. However, the soothsayer's next words halted my strides. "Are you not interested in knowing how you are doom itself?" Slowly, I turned back to face her with a wary smile on my lips. The hard lump forming in the base of my throat made it difficult to breathe. With everything happening so far in my life, I guess I ain't supposed to be surprised to be called doom itself. My existence has

    ★ALPHA DAMON'S POV★I pounced into the sex slave's wet cunt ferociously. Damn! It has been a while since I had something this fun. I wasn't doing it because I liked her, I just wanted to ease the burden off my shoulders with pleasure.“Aaargh!" I groaned, thrusting fast and rough into her vagina. I could feel myself attaining orgasm. Squeezing her butt cheeks, I spilled my juice all over her skin and collapsed on the bed afterward. My sex slave immediately picked up her clothes from the floor, slipped them on, and scrambled out of my chamber. Exactly, just the way I like it! Sex...pleasure with no attachment whatsoever. If it was left to me, I wouldn't have gotten a Luna. Rather, a fuck buddy that could keep on satisfying my libido. A soft knock on my door prompted a groan to escape my lips. Can't I ever have a second of peace? I thought to myself. Without further ado, I slipped into my pants and beckoned on the person to come in. Alan, my trusted guard sauntered in with his head

    ★ELAINE'S POV★As soon as he stepped out of the door, I broke into a series of uncontrollable sobs. With Everything in me, I hate Alpha Damon! I wish I can kill him, and make him pay. Although my life hasn't been blissful, he can't treat me like this. Burying my head into the pillow, I wailed profusely. He treated me like a dirty slut and rough-handled my body. Has he forgotten I am nothing but a young girl, trying to navigate my path? Why does he hate me this much?I hate my father who sent me to this pack! I hate my life! I hate the moon goddess for bestowing this kind of life upon me! I hate the universe for not making me have the love of a mother! I hate everything! Perhaps, I should just die so this misery would end. Laying flat on my back, I stared at the ceiling as the tears fell freely from my eyes. My head spun out of axis and my stomach began to churn, making me feel nauseous. I could no longer feel my legs and before I knew what was happening, my eyelids grew heavy. I f

    ★ELAINE'S POV ★"Sit!" Alpha Damon commanded me. Swallowing hard, I fixated my gaze on Beta Adrian as I stood there, not paying attention to Alpha Damon. But then my birthmark started to sting again. I felt dizzy all of a sudden, so I had to take the empty seat right in front of Beta Adrian. More so, his orbs didn't leave mine. I tore my gaze away from his while trying to conceal the pain. Pressing my lips together, I readjusted myself uncomfortably on the chair. The omegas began to serve our meals. Once again, the sharp pain split through me. I clutched the edge of the table, trying not to give in to the anguish coursing through my veins. When I looked back up, Beta Adrian cast me a 'what's wrong with you?' look. He narrowed his eyes at my face, noticing my discomfort. Expelling a sharp breath of air, I peeled my eyes off him and lowered them to the table. Tears pooled in my eyes as I struggled to bear the pain. Nonetheless, Alpha Damon didn't notice a damn thing.

    ★ELAINE'S POV★†The next morning†I stirred awake, stretching out my arms whilst stifling a yawn. Birds chirped their morning songs and indistinct voices filled the atmosphere. Pulling up to a sitting position, I checked the first thing that crept into my mind — my birthmark. Funnily enough, it doesn't hurt or sting this morning, and I almost died from the excruciating pain last night. A soft sigh escaped my lips as I moved to the mirror to check it properly. Everything seemed normal and the area around my birthmark was as clear as day. As of last night, Tania said it looked like the surface of an erupting volcano. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I wondered how I have changed so much. Barely four weeks in the Lycanfrost pack and a lot of things happened. Ranging from becoming a Luna, Tania almost dying in that fire, my fling with the Beta, and my confrontation with Alpha Damon last night.In truth, I didn't feel remorseful for challenging Alpha Damon in front of those peopl

    ★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.
