★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. How would h
★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
★ELAINE'S POV★“How was the coronation, my lady?" Tania inquired as she was brushing through my hair. “Nothing special. Just the deposition of title and reclaiming of some sort." I waived the conversation off because it does not interest me. But Tania didn't get that note. “Did Delta Donovan not feel bad while relinquishing his title to someone else?" She pressed further. A small sigh escaped my lips. “I was quite surprised to see him excited, Tania. To be honest, I expected him to be furious about everything, nonetheless, he seemed unbothered about the whole thing." Then I added in sheer disbelief. “Can you believe he gave a speech afterward? He said he hopes the pack can respect his decision and relationship with Ashley. Plus, that should not stop them from treating him with respect, because he did nothing wrong apart from falling in love with the woman of his choice." “What?" Tania gasped in shock and I watched her reflection through the mirror. “Whereas Ashley was crying in h
★ELAINE'S POV★“Mate.” I heard something pur inside of me once again. My lips parted open in shock and I could not believe he was my mate. Yet, here he was with those mesmerizing brown eyes piercing into mine. Beta Adrian. My heart started to thump rapidly against my chest. At this rate, it might as well jump right out. I could not believe that he was right in front of me. Holding me. Staring at me like I was the only one in his world. A part of me wanted to be happy and scream at the top of my lungs, but as soon as I remembered his rejection, I gathered every strength left in me and pushed him away. “Elaine.” He breathed. My name rolling off the tip of his tongue was the most therapeutic sound I have heard in weeks. Yet, I took a step back from him. “No, don't move away from me, Elaine." Beta Adrian tried to reach for me, but I held out a hand to stop him. “Don't you dare to touch me!" I growled. “You are angry with me for ending things with you like that...I know and I am
★ELAINE'S POV★He snaked his hand around my neck, pulling me tighter to him. With a smirk darkening his features, his lips landed on mine. I squirmed beneath his touch, feeling butterflies all over. I wanted him with every fiber of my being! The kiss was sweet, passionate, and hot. Yet, I could not get enough. I wanted more because I missed him so much during the moments we spent apart. My body, mind, soul, and spirit ached for him. Damn! How did I survive this long without his touch? Throwing my arms around his neck, I kissed him back hungrily and he responded by deepening the kiss. The both of us shut the rest of the world, thinking about ourselves and our feelings. For now, those were the only things that mattered. He pulled away for a brief moment and stared deep into my eyes. His brown eyes glimmered. “How can someone be this tiny, yet create a huge storm inside of me?” he asked with a seductive smile. “Because this tiny being wants to be your whole world,” I replied with a
★ELAINE'S POV★“Mine.” He growled, claiming my lips once more to show that I belonged to him. And yes, I did. With every fiber of my being, I thrust it into his hands. Provided he continued to treat me like the only woman he has ever loved. “I want you right now, Adrian.” I blurted aloud. Stopping myself just when the word left my mouth. He squinted his eyes at me, then smirked. Oh goodness! That charming sight made my knees wobble like jelly. “How much do you want me?” He inquired, nuzzling his nose with mine. “Very much,” I whispered, closing my eyes to let the ripple of pleasure surge through my entire body. His fingers slipped between my thighs and he touched me right on my wet opening. “Damn, you are so wet for me. But I can't take you right here, Elaine.” My eyes flung open. “Then let's head to your cabin. No one will notice our absence.” Beta Adrian chuckled. “You are so impatient.” He grabbed my butt cheeks and squeezed them softly and I found myself letting out a soft
★ELAINE'S POV★“Hmmm.” I squirmed, feeling a wet tingling sensation between my thighs. The rush of pleasure and satisfaction that swept through me, prompted my eyes to fling open. Alas, Beta Adrian's head was buried between my thighs as he ate me out. A soft moan escaped my lips with my head hitting back into the plush pillows. “Yes,” I cried out in pleasure. “Right there, Adrian!” My fingers instinctively found their way into his disheveled hair and I rummaged through. One of his hands fondled my breast, while the other rubbed against my wet opening as his tongue continuously stroke through my layers, sending me to the moon and back. I curled my toes in ecstasy and let him consume me with his light touches. “You like this?” He paused for a moment to tease my nipples with his tongue. I arched my back. “Yes, please. Don't stop.” “Look at me, Elaine,” he demanded. And I didn't even realize I closed my eyes earlier from the rush of exuberant pleasure coursing through my veins. Sl
★ELAINE'S POV★“Hi, I am Arla.” My wolf said to Beta Adrian and he smiled. “You are so beautiful.” He retorts, gushing over her features. Tossing him a taunting look, I moved over to the edge of the lake to look at my wolf. And indeed! She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen— white, fluffy, and mighty. My joy knew no bounds as I jumped on my paws in excitement! “Yes! Yes! Finally!” In the blink of an eye, Beta Adrian switched into his wolf form. If I said my wolf was mighty, his was mightier. A brown wolf stood tall in front of me as I looked up at his face. Despite being in his wolf form, he was still very charming. “I always told you to stop looking down on yourself, Elaine. Now see how the tables turn. You have a wolf now.” His voice reverberated across the woods.“Yes!” I squealed excitedly. “Yes, I have a wolf!” “Come, let's race through the woods and get those paws of yours stronger.” he beckoned on me and I obliged.The both of us took our position, while he made th
★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.
