★ELAINE★“I want to go and confront Lilian. She has no right to accuse me of Joanna's death.” More tears cascaded down my cheeks as I pulled out of Alpha Damon's embrace and made to walk away, but he held me back. “There is no need, Elaine. Confronting her would only make others believe you are this paranoid. As long as you didn't do it, act unbothered until everything is sorted out.” I scoffed. “Paranoid? After being outrightly accused of murdering someone in cold blood, do you think I should just let this slide?” I demanded. Already feeling offended that he could say such a thing to me. Alpha Damon shook his head. “You are not letting this slide, Elaine. Trust me on this. I want to remind you that you are here as a guest and I want you to stay still until I sort things out.” He said this time. “But I can't just sit around and remain silent as none of this happened. What if they keep trying to sabotage me and in the end, they make me look like the culprit?" I asked him, snifflin
★ELAINE★†The Next morning†With my heart in my hands, I trudged to the dining table. I couldn't go for lunch and dinner yesterday because of my burning anger towards Lilian. I felt like if I went, I would engage in a big fight with her and then I might be blamed for murder because I won't hesitate to put an end to her miserable life. Nonetheless, Alpha Damon's sister Gina spoke with me last night. She advised me on so much and I was willing to take her word for it. Alas, why I decided to go for breakfast. As soon as I walked through the entrance of the dining room, several scornful glares were tossed my way by the female contestants. They seemed to be judging me like I'm a villain who shouldn't be among them. “Don't pay attention to them, Elaine,” I said to myself and tried to think of any past event that could make me smile. Taking a deep breath, I braced myself as I sauntered towards the large table and then took a seat. The female seated at my left immediately shifted her cha
★THROWBACK TO THE NIGHT TARA DEPARTED FROM ELAINE ★Smiling sheepishly as she made her way to the other side of the woods, Tara felt proud to have gifted Elaine that squirrel. She hoped to keep making Elaine smile and wished Elaine was her Luna instead of Joanna. To be truthful, Tara doesn't know why she liked Lady Elaine, but she knew she adored the young lady so much. There was something about her that was just so likable. So accommodating and so charming. But then a rustle among the bushes made her discard her thoughts as she tried to capture whatever animal made that noise. Crouching her posture, she moved quickly in that direction then steady her spear, ready to strike the animal. And just when she parted the bushes and was about to strike, she met Joanna there instead. Joanna jumped, startled. “How dare you aim a spear at me?” Joanna bellowed after regaining her wits. “I am sorry. I didn't mean to... I thought it was a—” Tara made to apologize but Joanna shut her up with h
★ALPHA DAMON★Furious, aggravated, provoked... What could be the proper word to describe the rage coursing through my veins? I could not believe the culprit has been right there all along, while the female competitors blamed Elaine. Especially Lilian. Pointing fingers at Elaine without having concrete evidence of the incident was absurd.“Summon the Alpha queen, the jury, and the rest of the female competitors here this instant. Tell them, the Lycan king, Alpha Damon has called for them.” I commanded with my eyes feasted upon the culprit then at Elaine. “Yes, my lord.” the Guard stooped before scurrying off to do my bidding. Still, my attention remained on Elaine. At this moment, I wanted to engulf her in a deep warm embrace because I knew the amount of emotions surging through her veins. On the other hand, I felt like snapping the other lady's neck like a twig. How dare she?! How could she murder someone in cold blood and remain mute about it? What did she feel when the rest ca
★ELAINE★Wanting to pull away from the kiss, I only drew in deeper. I kept on reminding myself that this was Alpha Damon, not Beta Adrian. Yet, the moment his fingers crept behind my neck, I melted in his arms like jelly. What the fuck is wrong with me? At this point, it was as if my body, mind, and soul were different. While my head was advising me to stop, my body kept diving in and my mind made me bury my fingers into his muzzled hair, an inaudible moan emanating from the back of my throat. Alpha Damon took that as a cue to deepen the kiss. He claimed my lips so hard as if they were his. I could not imagine the way fireworks were exploding in my stomach when his tongue slipped into my wanting mouth. Another moan escaped my throat. Moon goddess help me. I can't believe I'm doing this right now.Eventually, I gathered my wits and broke the kiss. Alpha Damon seemed flustered and he stared at me with pure lust in his eyes.Damn! He looks so gorgeous with that ruffled jet-black ha
★ELAINE★Attaining orgasm, I arched high, letting out a loud moan alongside. Alpha Damon also came because he mumbled my name beneath his breath, came undone then collapsed on me. He rolled over to his side, watching me, while I turned my back towards him. The guilt was slowly setting in. How could I have done this with him? I swore to hate him for the rest of my life and here I was letting him into my bed. I jumped into his arms without thinking and I felt like a cheapskate for it. “I love you, Elaine.” His deep voice rang into my ears and my stomach tightened into a knot. To be honest, I didn't know how to respond to him. I didn't know what I felt for him, but it was definitely not love. Tears gathered in my eyes and I sniffled, trying my best not to cave into my tumultuous nerves. I am such a dirty, cheap, two-timing bitch! I scolded myself over and over again. “Elaine.” Alpha Damon touched my arm. “I said I'm in love with you.” “And I am not!” I fired back out of fury. A
★ELAINE★“No please, stop.” Heavy downpours drenched the three of us while I tried to separate them. Alpha Damon and Beta Adrian were tearing each other apart and it was all because of me! My mind was running amok as I frantically thought of ways to stop them from fighting. I instigated it, Yes. But this shouldn't create chaos. The moment the Alpha and Beta of a pack are at each other's throats, then there would be disarray in the pack. People of the Lycanfrost pack were watching from afar, but no one dare to interfere. “Someone please stop them!” Wrapping my arms around Alpha Damon's waist, I attempted to pull him away from the malicious wrath he was inflicting on Beta Adrian, but he wouldn't even budge. The whole ground trembled at the weight of the mighty men fighting. Despite the amount of rain falling, the stench of blood filled the atmosphere.All I could see was bloody red as Alpha Damon plunge his claws into Beta Adrian's eyes. He grunts out in pain before striking hi
★ELAINE★A loud blast of horn pitch filled the atmosphere, motioning the preparation for another competition stage. Amy issued me a knowing look. “I will get you the proper fit to wear, my Lady.” She said, scrambling off to my closet immediately. While I pulled myself out of the bed and let out a weary yawn. “You can do this today, Elaine,” I told myself over and over again as Amy helped me get dressed then we strolled out of the dorm to the courtyard. The Alpha queen and the rest of the jury were already present. Other female competitors came after me and soon, we were complete.Alpha Damon and I locked gaze for a moment and his face contorted into a scowl. What did I expect after calling him a monster? Perhaps, it was better this way, I thought to myself. His eyes bore into mine for more seconds, then he tore them away from me and directed his gaze somewhere else. “Today is all about showcasing your strength as usual. But hence in a different style. You are going to morph into
