CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHTEleanor’s POVI paced around the corridor, matching up and down like a soldier general trying to round up his mates to prepare for a tough battle. And indeed, this was a very tough battle for me. I continued to pace, hoping that all the unnecessary movements would take away the tension from my body and hopefully, maybe even calm my nerves.So far, so not good. The pacing did not seem to work and so I decided to stop, leaning against the wall, using my forehead for support.Why did they have to do this to me?I could just leave, right? Not like I was an official pack member, but I was only the alpha’s mate. Surely, that also meant that I had the freedom to move how I pleased and go wherever I wanted to, right? I did not have to do what I was asked to do, and I could easily walk away from it all, could I not?Walk up to Jett and say, ‘Hey Jett! I really do not want to do what you and your members are advising me to, so I have made the decision to be out. And none of
CHAPTER TWENTY NINEAlpha Jett's povTo say I was shocked would be an understatement, I was speechless and unable to think or move for a while as I stared at Eleanor in her werewolf form when she changed into that perfect beautiful white fur with the gold stripe that slid down her spine lustrously before her fur changed to a brown and black color, and that caused a stir as people found it hard to hide their shock. She was beautiful, captivating and I couldn't help but wonder why the moon goddess had to choose her for me as my mate because she was everything I had always wished for; a strong, feisty, and brave woman that could endure any situation, a woman who knew how to love and care no matter what she's been through and Eleanor was all of it. After seeing her white fur when she shifted, I didn't know what to think. I thought and wondered a million things but couldn't get an exact answer to any. It was obvious she was marked as a Luna, a rare one at that. I knew there was a reason wh
CHAPTER THIRTYEleanor's PovIt was evening time and ever since this morning after we closed from the training ground, I haven't caught a glimpse of Jett. Although he promised that the two of us will make dinner when he gets back from his pack meeting. I rubbed my eyes with my knuckles trying to get sleep off them. I was tired and my limbs were weak. I fluttered my eyes open when I felt someone pick me up and spank my butts playfully. “Hey, babe… how are you doing?”“I’m tired. My limbs are weak. I can’t cook” I said slowly"Don't worry, we aren't going to cook," Jett said and I breathed in delight at his confession that I was too weak to do anything. "at least not in the kitchen" he said with a smirk and I frowned. "Oh, I hate you, Jett," I said playfully."I know," he said and spanked me harder.I kept still, disoriented. I didn’t know where exactly he was or what he was doing. I licked my lips nervously, getting ready for his dick.Suddenly, I felt him unzipping my shorts. It ha
CHAPTER ONEEleanor’s povThe music booming from the invisible speakers immediately eased my nerves. I just clocked eighteen and my parents had permitted me to have a good night. Whatever that meant. My two best friends, Sarah and Clara were already dancing and I realized it was time to join them. I was the birthday girl after allSmiling broadly I was suddenly in a very good mood. Eleanor, you just turned eighteen and life is mostly good. I told myself as I moved my body to the music. Sarah and Clara soon joined me and we went one, two steps clapped, shook our butts, and twirl in that other. We were soon laughing and I knew it was not a mistake coming to this place.I swayed my waist and threw my hands in the air as I wiggled my waist from side to side while singing along. I was screaming at the top of my voice and smiling. I was young and free and healthy. “These are the days that never die. The days I’ll look back to in the future so if I don’t live now when will I live”. I said to
CHAPTER TWOEleanor’s povAfter two vodka shots, I finally was ready to start my night afresh as I allowed Jett to lead me for the second time tonight to the dance floor. The Dj had begun playing sensual music but it didn’t discourage either of us. We followed the slow rhythm of the song with my leg encircling his thigh while his crotch pressed deep into my stomach. I ran my hand all over his upper body starting from the back of his neck, to his hair, his chest, and lastly, his waistline. I pressed tighter into his erection which elicited a hiss from him. His green eyes got darker with lust and his breath heavier and hotter. His hands caressed my lower body from my waistline downwards as though it belonged to him. He pushed one of his hands under my gown, skimming through all the skin he could roam while I battled with the dampness that got heavier on my spot and the moan I was letting out. His hand on my lower body moved lower and lower until he cupped my ass cheek with only the lace
CHAPTER THREEEleanor's povYou would think waking up to people screaming your name would get easier since you have been waking up to it every day for the past 20 years. News flash, it doesn’t. The door to my room slammed open and my brother stood there, arms folded. “Breakfast isn’t set and the pack would wake.” He continued to stare at me most condescendingly, I fought back the urge to actually scream at him to get some damn manners because he looked like he needed quite a lot of them.I held back the urge to snap back at him. I wasn’t ready plus the scars on my back tend to be a sore reminder. “I am coming.” He tsked, walking off. I started moving because if my mom got here, she wouldn’t use words. I threw on the first gown my hand landed on and made my way to the kitchens.Emery, the only person I could call a friend in this entire pack, was already there, mixing eggs. “Hey, Lea.” I hugged her and took the bowl from her.“Hey, mama. How’s the leg?” Emery got her left leg amputated
CHAPTER FOURAlpha Jett's povIt was surely a hectic day for me and to think I was just getting started. I just wanted to go back to my bed and sleep for the whole day but I'm the Alpha, I couldn't do that, I had duties to fulfill for the pack's sake or we'll probably collapse due to my incompetence and I didn't want that to happen so I had to always be at my best all the time. My father had always pressed words of wisdom into my head and I know I learned well from him. It could be seen in my pack and our rapid progress ever since I became Alpha of my pack, the Altra pack. I sighed as I took off my gloves and gave them to the errand boy beside me. He took it with a bow and went to place it where it's meant to be in the gym.We were at the training ground and today I was training in my human form, perfecting my boxing skills even though I was perfect at it years ago, it wouldn't hurt to keep in shape and not lose such a potential skill though so I didn't mind training every single morn
CHAPTER FIVEEleanor’s povI stopped liking parties. I stopped liking alcohol too. Blasting music turned into poison and did raw hot buzz. Unlike many other teens, adults, and old people alike, music and alcohol stopped offering me solace. In truth, nothing has ever had since the past two years. For someone who stopped liking music, you would be wondering what I was doing at one of the wildest clubhouses in the pack all by myself with about four vodka glasses of my tequila shots and that too. Sarah left the country with her parents after the death of Alpha Donovan while Clara was away in Germany for studies.Yes, the idea of a hot burning spirit in my mouth, throat, and stomach never appealed to me, but on this night, I hoped it would give me the peace I’ve always wished for. I hoped it would lessen the pain I carried around every day and everywhere in my heart for the last two years. I hoped it would help me tame my running mind but it didn’t. Just like every other night, I was a mes

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVENAlpha Jett’s povI could no longer stomach all of Jett’s gaze and claims it had zero effort on me … fuck butterflies my stomach was a whole nest of birds, each flying and blinding hitting the glassy walls of my stomach that were how had I felt whenever Eleanor’s gaze burns through my soul the whole time especially when she licks her lower lip, or humming to a song when she cooks in the kitchen wearing nothing but big polo shirts and a single strand of panties underneath. Every bit of my mouth still carried a hint of lavender, peony, and strawberry -the mouthwash, lotion, and shampoo scents of Eleanor. After our little time in the dining room, this morning I left with Zayn and Gavin to settle some issues, leaving her and Scarlett alone in the pack house. The two of them had been trying to reach us three all day but we haven’t been answering their calls or replying to their messages. We were in a bit of a situation with our board members in the company and Gavin wa
CHAPTER TWENTY SIXAlpha Jett’s povYesterday was hell…Thankfully it was another day…It was morning already and the sunlight had found a way into my room through the curtains. I rolled over to my side and stared at the reflections of the sun through the window for a while, and then I stretched and let out a low yawn before I stood up and went to have my bath. Eleanor came to my mind as I brushed and I saw how red my cheeks became in the mirror. I was something else whenever I was around her or when thoughts of her crossed my mind. She was my weak point, the only thing that filled my head and heart with flowers and ecstasy and I wasn't ashamed to admit it… I had my shower and dressed up then headed straight for her room so we could have breakfast together.She wasn't there when I opened the door. I just figured she would be somewhere else, probably in the kitchen so I shrugged and went to the kitchen. My stomach was growling already and I hungered for something sweet. I got to the kit
Chapter twenty five Alpha Jett’s PovFor the first time in what seemed like forever, I felt alive. It was like I was in a cage, hearing the chirping noises of birds as they flew around but no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t see, feel or touch beyond those noises. The fragrance of sweet flowers filled my nostrils but that was that for it. I tried lifting my hands to touch the prettiest bird and flower I’d ever seen but I was immobile. I tried to talk but I was mute and my throat felt dry. Then suddenly, after so many days of looming in the darkness, a hand reached out to pull me out but no matter how the person tried, I always slipped from its grip until a few moments after when I felt a soft foam-like material pressed water into my mouth. I felt alive instantly and the dryness in my throat lessened. And surprisingly too, the water tasted delicious and familiar. Yes, the taste of water should be familiar considering how often we consume it but what about delicious? Water was suppo
Chapter twenty threeEleanor's Pov I stood at the full-length mirror in my room, wondering how life turned so bad. I couldn't help the emotions running through my heart and settling in my stomach, self-pity. Surprisingly, I missed him. I missed Jett so much and for each second that passed with his eyes closed, it pissed me and I blamed myself all over again...I just finished having my bath and standing in front of the mirror, and looking at myself made me miss my mum. "I miss you, Luna," I said to myself in the mirror, seeing her in me. I grew up to be a replica of my mother. We had the same icy blue eyes and long wavy natural brownish-black hair and skin color. Holding the crescent moon pendant she had given me before dying, I closed my eyes and allowed the Cool breeze to carry my wishes to her. I was truly exhausted from all that was happening…I was physically and mentally tired and I needed her to help me. My mother was known for her great ability to heal people. She wasn’t a L
CHAPTER TWENTY THREEEleanor’s pov"Ma'am" a soft voice sounded outside my door. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes and that was because whether it was from a milestone or from the middle of a very hot wet dream, I’d remember the owner of that voice. It was Sarah, the only person I had let up in my room since that ugly incident at Jett’s bedroom. It’d been four days since Jett fell into a spiritual coma and for all four days except the first day, Sarah had been my company since I shut out the remaining members of this household. I asked her to come inside of course but when she did, she remained at the threshold looking at me as though a cat had got her tongue."Speak Sarah!" I demanded."The beta and the gamma had asked me to inform you that dinner is ready and that you are to come down to eat"“You know more than anyone else in this house that I wouldn’t so why did you bother? Tell them I said I’m not hungry and that I’m grateful for them”“Please ma’am. I cannot return to them without
CHAPTER TWENTY TWOLuca's POVAfter high priestess Imogen's declaration, I was at a loss for words. Jett indeed reduced me, but I didn't regret it. Revenge is served better cold I tell you and most times too an add-on in the form of toppings isn't a bad idea. Go extra if you must! Jett dared with me and now he would suffer the consequences of his action. I know by now, that the rest of his cabinet must have found out I was the one behind his sudden blackout and the remedy to revive him. Surely, they must come to me! They would ask and beg me for pity on him but I'd refuse. When I woke earlier this morning, I realized that Eleanor wasn't with me and hit me hard and square on my face. But the fact that the reason behind her sudden departure from my life was on his bed begging for death made the anger in me pass away in less than a split second.I swam through my thoughts before I decided to go get some work done in my office. As I left my bedroom, each step I took made me seem closer t
