★ELAINE'S POV★Throughout the day, I had a great time with Beta Adrian. We made love sealing it with several promises beneath the sheets. He fed me some cookies and wine this time, and I have never felt so treasured. Afterward, we proceeded to the lake for a quick bath. Now that dusk is fast approaching, we decided it was time to return to the main pack. “Do you think anyone noticed our absence?" I asked him. “No, I don't think so. Damon will be busy with his whores, I don't even know what's wrong with him these days.” He complained, readjusting the raft as he started to paddle. When we arrived at the pack, the first person we met was Gaius, Beta Adrian's guard. I watched him bow in deference to us without uttering a word. “Greetings, Master, and to you, Luna,” he said looking from Beta Adrian to me, then back to him.“Greetings. What's the problem, Gaius?" Beta Adrian asked. “Alpha Damon has been looking for you since yesterday, My lord.” the omega informed him. “Oh really?”
★ELAINE'S POV★ I froze to bits down to my bone marrow. If I was facing the mirror at the moment, I was pretty sure my face would look so pale. My heart started to thump rapidly against my chest and my mind was running amok. Dang it!How did he find out? Thank goodness my back was turned to him, so he didn't get to see the shocked expression written all over my face. Gathering my wits, I veered around to face him to deny his allegations. This time, I was going to pretend as if I didn't understand what he meant. So I cleared my throat and managed a small smile. “I am sorry, Delta Logan...I think you are mistaken. I am with Alpha Damon and not Beta Adrian.” I lied, hoping I seemed convincing enough to deceive him. But his crooked smile proved me otherwise. He moved closer to me and twirl my hair around two of his fingers. “Seeing you with Gamma Genevieve hurts me so much, and I have been trying to act happy whereas I am not.” He quotes the exact words I told Beta Adrian on the nig
★ELAINE'S POV★I refused to speak with Tania even after much persistence. “What about the orange juice?” Tania asked me. “Should I get it for you?” “No, I'm no longer interested,” I said before retiring to my room. With an exasperated sigh, I plopped on the bed and clutched one of the fluffy pillows to my bossom. My heart grew heavier, thinking of everything Delta Logan said to me. He meant it! If I don't meet his demand by tomorrow, he would disgrace Beta Adrian and me. And our humiliation would be quite greater than that of Delta Donovan and Ashley's. I sighed for the umpteenth time, staring blankly into space. Just then, a soft knock pounded against my door frame but I didn't bother to respond to whoever was knocking. Instead, I turned in another direction, looking out of the window. The door creaked open and Tania's voice filled the room. “I got the orange juice for you, my lady. Whatever is wrong, I hope this calms you down.” Came her tender voice from behind me. Yet, I di
★ELAINE'S POV★“Thank you, I'll be joining them soon,” I informed the omega and he bowed before strutting off. Closing the door shut behind me, my heart started to thump faster than usual. Would I be able to face them tonight? What would happen if I didn't acknowledge Delta Logan's condition? Deep down, I knew the answer to that. Yet, I didn't want to admit it. So I trudged to my closet, wore a nice loose-fitting yellow gown, pull my hair into a bun before walking out of my chambers to join them. They were debating away at the dining table, but the moment they noticed my presence, everywhere went silent. “Why didn't you come for lunch, Lady Elaine?” Beta Adrian asked me. I swallowed hard then replied. “My headache became worse.” “Oh, I didn't know it was that serious. Would have requested a physician from the pack infirmary.” Gamma Genevieve added. Again, I managed a small smile and said. “What I needed then was rest, and I think I'm a little better now, thank you.” Before tak
★BETA ADRIAN ★I carefully placed her on the bed, then peeled off my shirt. She tossed me a quizzical look and I snorted. “What? Pulling my shirt doesn't mean I want to have sex with you, Elaine. I am not a pervert.” Silence befell us both, but then she broke it first with a warm grin on her lips. “Even if you demand sex from me right now, I will gladly consent to it. You are the only one in charge of my body, Adrian.” Chuckling, I joined her on the bed. “And I like the sound of that. But do not cajole me, Elaine. I need every single detail and why didn't you inform me that Delta Logan was harassing you?” She snuggled up close, laying her head on my bare chest while I wrapped my arms around her small frame. We needed this heat since the atmosphere was quite cold and balmy. “I thought of informing you, Adrian. But then he has that naked painting of me and he knows everything about our relationship. He threatened that he was going to reveal everything to Alpha Damon, saying not on
★ELAINE'S POV★The bright morning sun was high in the cloudless blue sky, flashing in rays through the slightly parted curtains on my half-closed eyelids. Fluttering my eyelashes open, I smiled when the memories of what transpired last night between Adrian and me surged to the forefront of my brain. Wanting more of his warmth, I tried to move closer to him and snuggle up close, but all I met was a cold, empty space. Did he leave early this morning? I thought to myself. Just then my mind wandered to Delta Logan. I became frantic, just thinking of how he could still be laying in the pool of his blood. Without further ado, I slipped into my night robe and made for the door. At that moment, my door flung open and Tania dashed in. She engulfed me in a tight hug and I was startled for a moment. “I'm still angry with you for the way you treated me, but I have no one to go to, Elaine.” Her voice cracked with tears. “Why? What's wrong?" I asked out of concern. “My mate. They found Delta
★ONE MONTH LATER★It's been one month since the incident at the court trial and they haven't found the perpetrator yet. Since Delta Logan slipped into a coma and since Delta Donovan and Ashley left to live on the outskirt of the pack. Nonetheless, the people of Lycanfrost pack have been living fine. There haven't been any casualties reported, nor did Alpha Damon find out about his Beta and Luna's affair. At this moment, Beta Adrian was busy teaching Elaine how to aim an arrow at a target. She held the bow at arm length, while he prepped her chin up, teaching her how to maintain focus. “You can do it, my Lady.” Cheered Tania as she picked up another arrow from the quiver. Beta Adrian trailed his fingers around her arm, sending shivers to surge through her spine. But at the same time, both of them tried not to be obvious. Elaine sucked in a sharp breath of air as soon as Beta Adrian stood behind her and then whispered into her ears. “You can do this, sweetheart. And I promise if yo
★ELAINE'S POV★I entered my chambers with Tania following right behind me. “My lady, I overheard some female omega talking about the Alpha female competition.” She closed the door behind her. “Alpha Female competition?” I breathed, turning to face her. “Yes, my lady. They said the competition is for high-profile females. You know, the Luna, Gamma, or any other respective titles.” she added. “Then what's the competition all about?” “Well... I think those high-profile females have to compete to get the Alpha female title. It comes with privileges you know, everyone would respect her until she dies and they said it happens once in four years.” Tania explained. “Wow, that's nice. But I don't think I can ever win even if I participate. There are stronger females and I'm just a weak pathetic Luna who just found her wolf.” “You found your wolf?!” Tania gasped in shock. “Yes, I did.” Almost at once, she pulled me into a quick embrace. “Then why didn't you tell me, Elaine? We could ha
