Elena's POV He sits back down on the bed, his weight pressing down on the sheets and he has this expression on his face like he doesn't want to be one to tell me this because he knows I wouldn't like what he had to say. "While you were," he waved a hand at my body. "healing, we found something.""What?""Zayn and Ethan are doubling down on this. They've gone to several packs to form alliances with them so as to get stronger to take over this city." Hpats my hand as I sit there, absorbing his information. "That's not even the worse part, Elena, but what they're doing to some packs that won't side with them, it's horrible." His voice breaks and I move to hug him. "So what are you going to do about it?*"What we always do. We're going to fight back the Red Sun Hill city never backs down from a confrontation.""I-" I start an idea popping into my mouth. "Don't." He stops me by placing a hand over my lips. "I know what you're going to say, and don't even think about it." I giggled. "I
Elena's POV I walked around the mess of the area, talking to people and handing out some relief items I had in my possession.There was a small gathering of women at the far end and I hesitantly approached, not sure they might want me to come in their midst.But I was welcomed, I guessed after all I had done to help out today, they felt more comfortable around me now."Hi." I waved to everyone around, kneeling down so I could sit monk-style with them in their little circle.They included me in their conversation and we all laughed together and talked about stuff.It was mostly inane stuff I found that they were discussing to get their minds away from the recent disaster."I mean you should have seen him, his face was horrible," Annet said."If that's horrible, you should see my grandma's face." Janet quipped the young lady whose family is still missing.Peals of laughter erupted from our little group causing people to look over at us.Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was sm
Zayn's POV I was relaxing on the veranda, letting the warm morning breeze dance with my hair.My eyes were closed and I brought my left hand holding the cigarette up and brought it to my lips.I took a deep drag on the stub and sucked it into my chest, following that with a deep inhale before I exhaled out roughing, puffs of air forming around my face.Huhmmmm…. so soothing.Cigarettes don't really do anything to shifters, seeing as we burn the nicotine so fast before it gets to our lungs, blotting out any chance of getting high.But I do like the repetitive action, somehow I find it soothing.I have been meaning to stop for a while now, but it is a terribly bad habit to break.I let out another puff of air, inhaling the sweet smell of the cigarette when my ears prickled, hearing footsteps coming this way.I sighed, my calmness fading instantly and annoyance fast taking its place.I gave explicit orders to not be disturbed for some hours, were they deaf?I wanted to luxuriate in the
Zayn's POV "MY decisions are in the best interests of our city!" I roar at them, losing my cool. Maxine stood up to stare at me eye ball to eye ball. "You and I both know that they are not. You're just doing this so you can get your mate back, who you lost." He sneered at me.I want to punch that stupid smug expression on his face away, and my hands itched from resisting the urge to do this. "If I were you, I'd be careful with what I say next," I said, my tone deathly calm.I was seconds away from snapping his filthy neck from the rest of his body."Or what? You're going to kill me, just like you did whoever stands in your way?" He threatens me.And that's it I didn't know when I'd left my seat and was about to wrap my hands around his fragile throat. But then Old Man Kruger came between us, stopping us from effectively finishing each other off."ENOUGH!" He bellowed, his old wrinkled face twisting with annoyance I stared at Maxine with hate shooting from my eyes, my whole body t
Zayn's POV"I want you to go and-" I say.Do what?" She interrupts and her interruption stirred the fire in my blood.Stalking to my desk, I pick up a thick bound book in my hands, good enough to cause pain if used right.Let's get one thing clear. When I am speaking to you, you do not interrupt. When I do tell you to speak, that's when you can. Am I clear?"I await her possible retort, yet I'm pleasantly surprised when her response is a soft murmur."Yes, sir." Hmm, this one is a quick learner.Her creamy skin which turns into a dick-hardening rosy hue has blood flowing to my dick.How I would love to make her ass the same color as her cheeks, to have her bound and bent over a surface as I punish her."Is there something else you'd like to say?""I-" her words taper off when she meets my stare.Her eyes glisten with unshed tears which causes my dick to jolt. "Nothing, sir." She finishes and I just arch an eyebrow at her."Stand. Go over to the bench, get those beautiful tits out, be
Elena's POV "Is everything okay?" Valerian asked, throwing me a sideways glance while chopping off a spoonful of eggs and chewing on it.I tried to give him a small smile to show that everything was fine but it fell flat on my face and he saw it.He dropped his spoon on the counter and faces me.I continued playing around with the food on the table, my appetite gone."Don't you like the food?" He asked again, trying to get me to open up, peering at the food worriedly."I do…" I said, trying to assure him even as I pushed a bit of egg over to the corner of my plate."Well if you like the food, then eat the food." He teased me.I said nothing to that though and he then pushed back from his chair, rounding the counter to come over to my side.I felt his strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, and he rests his chin on my shoulder."It's not the food, it's just.." I say utterly exasperated that he was just focused on the food so much."So, what's wrong then?" He breathes, his voice
Valerian's POV I was surprised to see Jared in the corner of the room. He didn't tell me he was back already.He was talking to someone, gesturing wildly as he spoke, his face tensed up and screwed up in annoyance.I moved to Enrique to get the latest update on our findings. Since we had discovered the massacre of the Fountain pack and how they mercilessly slaughtered innocent women and children and my friend, the Alpha of the pack, I had sworn to do everything possible to hunt those bastards down and make them pay for it.Coincidentally, we've found out that that is also their intention for us seeing as we've heard supposedly from our spies that they've made contact and formed an alliance with two other packs, growing in strength.It all got me worried and anxious but I tried not to show it instead try to channel what my father would have done in the situation.They all looked up to me to be their leader, and at the first sign of crisis, I can't look weak and start to shake in the
Elena's POV I WOKE up with a start, thrust out of my unconscious state like I was shocked with electricity completely.I tried to raise my head up but it turns out I could only move it a couple of inches.My head was strapped down to a metal table, much like the rest of me.I tugged on my arms which were spread sideways beside my head but they also didn't budge.I strained harder until I realized something.My hands were bound by thick straps like my head and the rest of my body. No. It was held up by thick, iron chains that were big enough to hold someone much larger than me.Which means, no matter how hard I try I wouldn't be able to get out of them.Still, yet, I tugged on the chains harder but I only heard the mocking sound of the chains clanging as they didn't budge from their position, not even a little bit.Dammit.From the limited turns my head could make, I tried to get a glimpse of where I was, but I only saw dark, dirty, and damp splotches on the ceiling.I wrinkled my no
