EVENING, 7 P.M.
ELENA I stood in front of the huge antique mirror in my bedroom, glaring at my reflection and admiring my features. The beautiful straight red dress looked dazzling on me, the remarkably long slit in front exposed my beautiful thin long legs which I never had the opportunity to be proud of. My slim face covered in heavy make-up matched my hair color, bright and blonde, prepared to seduce a man. Obviously, I dressed to impress. Just yesterday, I was having the worst time of my life finding out my husband whom I've loved for years was cheating on me and cruelly replacing me with another. Now, I look so beautiful, preparing to go out with someone who might just become my next husband. Was I too desperate? I asked myself rhetorically and then I shook my head. I am a free woman now, I ought to do things that pleases me. I soon received a text from Dave, stating that he was downstairs and ready to take me there, to the restaurant. I stared at the files I'd prepared to have Alpha Sebastian sign, if all things go well tonight, my pack should be on its feet before the month ends All these, I was doing for my father. To uphold his legacy. I missed him, I wished I did this before his demise. I headed downstairs to meet Dave, and after getting into the car, he drove off in speed. I was a few minutes late already, hopefully, Alpha Sebastian wouldn't think I was trying to trick him. While in the car, my mobile phone rang again and it was from Henry. Didn't he already ask for a divorce and move on with his life? Why did this man try to make things difficult for me? I ignored him, turning my gaze and staring outside the car watching the busy street. It was somehow satisfying to watch. We soon arrived at the restaurant, one of the biggest in the city. I didn't expect it, they seemed to be having an event as well. I wanted something private between Sebastian and I so that I could try and seduce him. I couldn't think of any other way to get what I wanted. As soon as I stepped into the hotel, the manager approached me first, recognizing my identity. He led me to the VIP section where I'd already booked for Sebastian and I.. Dave stayed outside watching out for my safety. The vip room was silent, Alpha Sebastian hadn't arrived yet surprisingly. I decided to wait, ordering a drink to keep myself busy. My mobile phone rang loudly again distracting my activity, I picked it up in rage in order to confront Henry. “I already gave you the divorce you wanted, why are you still bothering me, Henry?” I yelled out. “Elena, we need to talk. Where are you? I'll come” Henry said to me. I ignored his question and I said, “Henry, stay away from me. I do not wish to talk to you” I ended the call and headed out of the room. Dave saw and followed me immediately. “Luna, what happened? Did he cancel the appointment?” He questioned. “No, Dave. He didn't. Let's just go, I think that Henry is in the North city. I do not want him to find me soon, "I said. As we headed through the crowds of people having a banquet, I felt someone grab my hand and pull me to himself. His scent was familiar, even though we were separated, it was too indulging to forget so quickly. Our eyes locked in together. “Let go of me, Henry!” I yelled out in rage, pushing him off me. I looked around, realizing that all of these people were Henry's business partners. I recognized a few of them because I'd previously helped Henry with his projects. Obviously, he was here on a business trip. His eyes flashed crimson as he declared in a cold voice. “No, Elena. I'm not letting you go until you explain things to me” he retorted. “Why, Henry? Why are you doing this to me? Didn't you refuse me already? We even got a divorce? What do you really want?” I yelled out in rage. “I want you, Elena. I'm sorry, I didn't realize how much I loved you. It's been two days but I cannot get it all out of my mind. I'm sorry” Henry apologized to me. I wasn't carried away, instead, I wanted him to go as far away from me as possible. The people in the restaurant hall continued to watch us. Right now, I was confused and didn't know what to do. All I wanted was for Henry to let me go at this point. The media was over us soon, Henry cared less about them and instead, he was trying to get me to return with him. “Henry, let me go!” I yelled out, trying to push him off me but he persisted. I was helpless, I couldn't run off at this point. I wished someone would save me from him. “Get your hands off my mate, you coward!” A grumpy masculine voice interrupted the whole scene, reducing the tension I felt around me. When I looked towards the doorway where it came from, I saw a man, very tall and handsome. His hair matched his face perfectly, and his thin lips were very attractive. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable by his presence immediately. We all stared at him confusedly except Henry, who had rage written all over his face. He also tightened his grip on me and pulled me over. Something was off, I knew the man and Henry were familiar with each other at one glance. “Sebastian, what are you doing here? You bastard!” Henry was the first to speak. His words were hurtful but Sebastian remained composed and never responded. He only looked at me with those piercing green eyes of his. I was mesmerized at once, feeling my heart beat all of a sudden. So, he is the man my father had always wanted me to marry. Sebastian Khao Of the Eagle pack. My eyes never left his, neither did his left mine. There was a strong feeling of attraction between us, and then, my mind went back to the words he'd previously uttered. “Mate? Did he just call me his mate?” I was instantly anxious, sweet broke all over my face. “Are you alright, Elena?” He questioned me and I nodded immediately. “Sebastian, I will not ask you again. What are you doing here at my banquet?” Henry questioned. But as Sebastian was about to say something, Henry charged and attacked him. He was no match for Sebastian, both men transited into their wolves and fought. Sebastian was huge, had green eyes with his long fangs ready to devour Henry. I shook fearfully while trying to stop them from fighting. Henry has been beaten to pulp by Sebastian and no one could stop him from wanting to finish him up. I quickly stood in-between Henry's unconscious body and Sebastian’s hateful gaze. His eyes soon softened when he saw me. “Are you defending him?” He asked me. I knew I wasn't, but I couldn't allow him to commit murder openly. Even though I wanted to get my revenge on Henry so bad, I never wanted it to be this way. I looked around, noticing how everything turned out. The media team had been shut down and most of the guests were led out by Sebastian's men. I stared confusedly at him, feeling uncomfortable with the situation. “Dave,” I called out, turning to him. “Let's go” I took two steps forward before Sebastian's huge hairy body blocked my path making me unable to leave. “You're my mate, Elena, and so many people had just found out. Do you think that you'll be safe after this? I bet you, you cannot leave right through that door without getting shot to death.” Sebastian informed me. At this point, I was damnedElena I stepped into the pack’s mansion with a freshly baked cake in my hands which I'd just bought at the mall in order to celebrate the birthday of my husband, Alpha Henry. He's been away for about a month on a business trip and would arrive today being his birthday.I already organized a dinner surprise in order to celebrate him , we just needed him to be present here. As I stepped into the mansion, my handmaiden appeared beside me offering to take the cake and put it in place. “Is everything ready?” I asked her, knowing fully well what the answer was. And as usual, she responded. “Yes, Luna” I was excited and overwhelmed, I wasn't only planning to surprise him with the birthday party, I also wanted to spend time with him. It's been months since we last touched each other, I know it must be hard for him. I missed him so much.As I headed back to my bedroom, the first thing I did was to change my outfit into the one I had brought specifically for the occasion. I put on light makeu
ELENAI laughed out maniacally at Henry's words, what was I doing here? Is he even supposed to ask me such a question? “Henry…” as I called out his name, my heart skipped a beat. I was filled with rage and didn't want to speak with him. I had no choice but to address this issue now that I'd found out.“How long? How long do you plan to hide this from me and deceive me? Henry, we were so perfect, why did you have to ruin it all?” I yelled out loudly, sending punches on his chest. “I hate you, Henry” the tears I fought back started to stream down my face. “You're causing a scene, Elena. I already told you, I found my mate and I'm in love with her” Henry stated nonchalantly, none of my words mean anything to him.“Leave here now” he declared, pointing at the door. “No, Henry. I'm not leaving here until I make this bitch pay for her actions” I declared in rage as I hurried toward the woman on the bed. I felt Henry's tight grip on my arm, pulling me backwards. He let go and I fell down on
ELENAThe pen almost slipped from my fingers as I'd finished placing my signature on the divorce papers between Henry and I. Finally, we were separated. Lola assisted me in packing up my luggages to leave.A knock sounded on the door grabbing both our attention. “Lola, help me check who it is” i said to her, relieving her of the work. Lola left immediately and returned a few seconds later Dave, My bodyguard. I was the only one who knew him so Lola was confused. I'd hidden my identity from everyone ever since I came to this pack as a Luna. What Henry and everyone of his pack members saw was that I am just an orphaned Luna with no family or back up.But in reality, I owned a pack of my own. Inherited from my father. I was hoping to give Henry access and make him the next Alpha last night during his birthday, but he'd disappointed me and showed me his true self. I was glad I never did. “Ma'am, we're ready to go now. The car has been set to take you back to the pack” Dave informed me, L
SEBASTIAN “Alpha, your betrothed bride and Luna of North Pack is back” my Beta, announced to me the moment he barged into my bedroom. Earlier, he notified me of a true mind link about having important information for me. I never thought that it was because the woman who'd caused my pack to lose a huge deal had returned.Elena Mayers, Daughter of Alpha Joseph Meyers who I was supposed to get married to three years ago was back. Three years ago, I was supposed to marry her and use the opportunity to take the lead in my father's pack, but she abandoned me in the end and married my cowardly cousin, Henry, who later took over as the Alpha of Blood-Eyed pack. My father's legacy. I was left to manage a pack I built on my own, but it was still not a match for my father's pack that was coerced by Henry and his Ruthless father. I clenched my fist tightly in rage as I turned to Conrad who'd just passed me this information. “Who gave you such news? How did you find out, Rad?” I asked.“It's al
