★ELAINE'S POV★

I had finished packing with the help of Amy, so I went to the dining table to have dinner, then sleep and prepare for the journey tomorrow.

In the dining, Amy was the one serving me herself. Since Tania died and she became my maid, I noticed she was extremely careful with everything she does. If I was about to go somewhere, she'd follow behind me, scrutinizing every direction for danger. If I was about to taste anything, she tasted it first.

I liked that she was looking after me. But still, no one can replace Tania in my heart.

The atmosphere surrounding the dining table was gloomy. Alpha Damon sat across the table while Beta Adrian took his position at my far right. I noticed no one was speaking and a part of me began to wonder if something happened earlier.

Was there something Adrian wasn't telling me? I thought.

Pressing my lips together into a grim line, I didn't utter a word. Perhaps, they had something bothering them in their respective ways.

But then, Alpha

    ★ELAINE'S POV★Lurching backward, I scoffed. “You are in love with me? You, the great lycan king so full of himself.” A sad chortle left my lips. “Well, I am not in love with you. You might as well let me be!” “Elaine, I —” “You what?” I fired back. “I don't want to know when you started developing feelings for me. I don't care about anything. When I came here as a weak, pathetic she-wolf. You showed me no respect. So please let me be and if you can't take it, you might as well reject me right now!" Alpha Damon sighed. “I can't. I am no saint but I am ready to make things right." Just as I was about to say something else, the words of the soothsayer came crashing into my brain all at once.Nonetheless, I shoved it to the back of my mind immediately. Alpha Damon can never be a part of my life. Just the way he has forsaken me when I hoped he would be my solace, so have I. Even if I wanted to fall in love with him, would I abandon Beta Adrian who had been there for me? Right from th

    ★ELAINE★“How dare you speak to my mother like that?!” My stepsister, Lilian raised her hand to smack my face, but I caught it mid-air. “Do. Not. Even. Dare!” I snarled. With a disgruntled noise emanating from the back of her throat, she tried to yank her wrist free from my grip, yet I didn't budge. They had to know that I was no longer the same Elaine they treated as a tramp. I was no longer a pushover! That weak and pathetic Elaine is gone. Forever. “Let me go!" She shrieked and I smiled at her discomfort. “Why don't you try setting yourself free?" I spat. A small mocking smirk lifted a corner of my lips. “Or perhaps, you are now weak?” She scoffed. Making use of her other hand, she attempted to hit me again. This time, I grasped her arm and twisted it without remorse and she let out an agonizing cry. “What?" I laughed. “But I am just playing with you!” My stepmother wanted to step in, but Amy stepped in her way, stopping her from reaching us.With that same smirk on my lip

    ★ELAINE★As soon as Amy and I left the palace floor, we arrived at a dark, long passageway. It led to a far-fetched corner and we didn't know where to head from here.“My lady, should I go back to the palace floor and ask for directions?” Amy inquired and just as I nodded in approval for her to do so, a tall heavily built guard joined us. “Greetings my lady.....I was asked to show you to your dorm.” He declared and I felt the tightening in my stomach eased. “Yes, please do so," I responded and the guard led the way, so Amy and I followed right behind him. After rounding up a few corners in minutes, the guard finally stopped at a brown door. I saw my name inscribed on it amongst others. Instantly, I knew that was my room. “My lady.... ” the guard opened the door and motioned for us to go in. Then he left. Amy closed the door shut right after he walked away. Afterward, she turned to me. “What do you think of your room, my lady? Is it comfortable enough?" Taking a quick survey, my

    ★ELAINE★“And why can't I participate in the competition?!" I fired at Joanna. My blood was starting to boil. Maybe because of the inferiority complex of always feeling like I'm not enough. But I wanted to defend myself. I wanted to prove that I am more than enough! “Why?" The Alpha queen asked too. Joanna narrowed her gaze at my face as she spoke. “From her introduction, she is the Luna of the Lycanfrost pack. And from what I have gathered, her Alpha won the Alpha male competition years back, meaning he is part of the jury. Don't you think there would be some sort of prejudice in this?" My heart skipped a beat.Truth be told, I wasn't aware that Alpha Damon would be part of the jury. I didn't know he won the Alpha male competition either. So why should that be my problem? “Yes, she is right.” Someone muttered.“I agree." Murmurs emanated from the high-profile females seated, making me feel wary. “I don't think that is the point here!" Another chirped and my head snapped in her

    ★ELAINE★“She is nothing, Lady Elaine. Don't let her bother you." Gamma Genevieve said to me and I waived it off immediately. “Of course not. She is just fighting for herself like you said, perhaps I should do the same too.”Amy briskly walked ahead of us just so she could open the door. I trudged into the room, straight to bed, and lay down with my head propped against my elbow. Gamma Genevieve entered too. Then, Amy closed the door shut as she returned to my closet to organize some of my stuff half attended to. I watched how Gamma Genevieve scrutinized the whole room before stating. “Wow, this is so beautiful. It is almost like your chambers back at the Lycanfrost pack, only smaller." “Yes, it is.” I gestured at the lone couch. “Please sit." She took her seat and then leaned her back into the arm of the chair. Just as I was to open my mouth to discuss some of the things bothering me with her, Adrian's words flooded my head. I remembered he instructed me to be careful of Gamma

    Joanna gave it a second thought before inquiring. “what's the offer?" Gamma Genevieve looked around to be sure no one was watching them or eavesdropping. When she was sure the hallway was clear, she muttered in a low tone. “I think you'd have to invite me inside your dorm first." Joanna stared at her as if she had grown a horn, but then she agreed. “Fine, come in." She stepped aside for Gamma Genevieve to walk in. After Gamma Genevieve entered her dorm, Joanna closed the door shut, then she leaned against the door with her arms folded neatly beneath her breast in akimbo. “I still have to pack and my maid went to repair one of my gown zippers. So get on with it before she comes back."Gamma Genevieve kept a straight face this time. “So tell me, Luna Joanna....do you want to become the Alpha Female?"“If I don't want to, will I be here in the first place?" She scoffed, wondering what sort of question that was. “Good. And I must say you are right to be worried about Luna Elaine fro

    ★ELAINE'S POV★I stirred awake as a soft pair of hands tugged my body lightly. My eyes flung open and my vision was blurry at first. When it cleared up, I saw Amy smiling down at me. “Good morning, my lady.” “Good morning.” Pulling myself to a sitting position, I asked. “And why did you wake me up this early?” “Oh, I am sorry... The Alpha queen asked the omegas to get their ladies. She said you should be in the hall in the next thirty minutes because the jury will be arriving soon. Also, the jury is going to be the one to address you all being the former participants in the competition.” she finished. Stifling a yawn, I stretched my hands. “Good. Now run me a bath. I have to prepare right now. ” “Yes, my lady.” Amy disappeared into the bathroom, while I shuffled to my feet then I began doing some lunges to keep my body in check. In a short span of five minutes, she emerged. “I am done, my lady. Do you have any specific dress you want to wear today, or I should arrange something?"

    ★ALPHA DAMON★I claimed her lips with everything I've got in me. Damn, I don't seem to understand myself these days. My body calls for Elaine, while my mind yearns for her. Yes, I have been a total douchebag to her when she didn't deserve all those despicable treatments from me. Nonetheless, I am willing to make things right. For me, And for us. The kiss was pure bliss and I just attempted to deepen it when Elaine pulled away from me and her hand slammed right across my cheek. It stung, but I didn't mind. Her actions were expected, so Instead of getting furious, I hardened my jaw and clenched my fist but I didn't hit her back. I'm in love with this woman. Even if I don't deserve her, I am willing to fight for her love no matter how long it'd take. Letting out a deep breath, I started. “Hit me all you want, Elaine. I'm an asshole, yes. Do I deserve it? Yes. But this is me at your mercy and I'm willing to make things right. I'm willing to come clean about everything. And as much

    ★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

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.
