Elijah’s POV:I took a deep sigh before I knocked on the door of my parent’s room.“Come in, Son” I heard my father’s, the current Werewolf King Alpha Cole Smith’s, stern voice.I entered the room and saw my father looking outside the window, his back facing towards me.“You called for me, Dad?” I asked in a casual tone, pretending like I didn’t know that he called me here to argue on the same topic all over again.“I heard that you rejected all of them” He replied, his voice colder than before.“Yeah. Where is mom?” I tried to change the topic unsuccessfully.“She went outside for some fresh air. Now tell me, why did you not choose anyone? They were Alpha’s daughters of each and every reputed pack around the globe!” His voice was still cold, his expressions were serious.“Dad, I think we already had this discussion multiple times. I don’t want to go through this argument again, but I’ll still tell you one last time. I do not wish to be with a girl who is not my mate! I am waiting for
Elijah’s POV:“Liam, are you really feeling pity for the family because of whom our Alpha lost his brother?” I heard my other friend, Matt Willer, ask in astonishment.I felt a sharp pain deep in my chest like someone was piercing a sword right through my heart. It has been a while since someone mentioned my brother.Chase Smith, my innocent and caring older brother. The one who was supposed to be the Crown Prince. I lost my brother because of them! All of them are responsible for this.My life became a complete mess because of them! I will never forgive them! NEVER!“They are the reason for so much chaos erupting in the castle and you are still showing mercy for them, Liam? Should we not support Alpha in his tough time? We are his best friends. You are going to be his future Beta! The Beta of Werewolf King Alpha Elijah Smith! How can you of all people say that!” Matt uttered in disbelief.“But Matty..” Liam tried to argue but I cut him off immediately.“Anyone showing mercy for them
Elijah’s POV,‘Is she, my mate?’ I thought as I was completely bewitched by her beauty.Another gunshot made me come to reality. I can’t let them hurt her. Even if she is not my mate, I can’t let them hurt an innocent girl.She looked so pure and innocent.She is everything I wanted in my woman.I couldn’t break the eye contact. I just couldn’t. I wanted to look into those deep emerald-green globes for the rest of my life.But if she is near me, they will hurt her. I can’t afford that.I didn’t want to scare her but that was the only solution I could think of.I looked at her with a darkened expression and growled.She was terrified. She took a step back in fear.‘Good girl! Now hide behind the trees and save yourself’ I thought as I was moving towards her.With each passing second, all I could think of was taking her into my arms.I wanted to touch her so badly.I wanted to touch and confirm if she is my mate but the time is just not right.‘Once I get rid of these lousy creatures, I
“You have to marry me, NOW!” He said in a demanding tone.“WHAT?” I shouted in disbelief and he winced like I just pierced his eardrums.Well serves him right, is he listening to his own sh*t? Mate? Marry? Is he out of his freaking mind?He didn’t get to reply as he lost consciousness right after my scream.I was fuming with anger. I want answers. No! I need answers! Who the heck does this gorgeous naked guy think he is? And who the absolute hell does he think he is to order me around? I took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down.My eyes fell on blood flowing through his forehead. I couldn’t help but wipe it with the long sleeve of my beige-colored top. Damn me! It was brand new!Looking at the blood stain the entire fight flashed through my mind.“The poor guy was beaten so badly. He wasn’t attacking at all. It was all their fault” I whimpered and another thought popped up in my head,“I think he hit his head too. Maybe a little too hard. That’s why he must be hallucinating
“How can you wake up after being shot?” I asked, I was beyond shocked.“Water… water…” he whispered in a painful voice.I decided to hold my investigation for now, looking at his pitiful state.“Oh water?” I remembered I always have a small water bottle in my purse.I removed the bottle and help him drink it.“Where are we?” he asked weakly.“Still in the forest. Just a few steps towards the right. I am sorry I couldn’t carry you” I replied defeatedly.“That’s okay. Thank you for trying. Leave now. You must be late” he said which shocked me.“Leave? How can I leave you here? Do you think I am that heartless?” I asked narrowing my eyes at him.“You can’t carry me. The forest is dangerous. They can come back and hurt you too. Just leave before it’s too late” he said like it’s the most logical thing in the world.He still cared for me more when he is the one in dying state. How can I leave such a person behind?“I am not leaving you and don’t try to argue with me!” I raised my hand when
I was shocked to see who was standing right in front of me. It was Theodore, uncle Pete’s son.“What are you doing here, Rose?”What am I doing here? Can’t you see I am stealing some morphine for a good cause?“I… I came here to.. to… see Uncle Pete” I replied stuttering like a criminal caught in act.What the hell? What did I just say? What would I reply if he asked why I wanted to see him? Is this the best reply you can come up with? Stupid brain!I felt like an idiot. How can I not? I had a morphine shot, injections, and a knife set in my hand at the moment. Whoever looks at me will think I am a lunatic.“Oh, okay” he replied smiling.What the hell? What do you mean by ‘Oh, okay’? Don’t you want to be nosy again like you all always do?I observed the way he was moving here and there either his own feet were unable to hold his weight or the floor was slippery.I was standing on the same floor so it must be his feet.“Are you okay, Theo?” I asked confusedly when I saw him grabbing t
Oliver’s POV:“ROSEY!! ROSEY!! WHERE ARE YOU?” I shouted from the top of my lungs.“ROSE!! ROSE!!” Mark shouted looking from side to side.“Rose, come out you brat!” Mark added in annoyance.“Can you stop being mean to her?” I asked in a frustrated tone.“I am not being mean. I just know how she is!” Mark replied in frustration.“Mark, it’s been two hours since she is missing. Do you really think she will keep up the act for 2 f**cking hours? I know her, she is not that irresponsible!” I replied in an angry tone.“Yeah, but she has a habit of doing mischievous things. There is a first time for everything” Mark replied doubtful of his own words.“When we reached the waterfall, I told you Rosey didn’t follow us but you said she must be acting again and she will come back the moment she smells the alcohol and chicken!” Oliver complained.“Wasn’t I true the entire time? Did you not see how many attempts she made just to avoid coming with us? Can you really blame me? I thought it was one of
Oliver’s POV,“No! no… no! Sissy… She was bleeding. She was bleeding a lot. There was a lot of blood coming out of her head… so much blood” Theodore replied stretching his arms horizontally to show the quantity of blood.“Is she okay?” Laina asked in a frightened tone.“I gave her vodka so she should be fine” Theodore replied with a proud expression.“You didn’t give her medicine or first-aid but vodka?” Olivia asked in frustration.“Yes, she asked for it. Must say, I am impressed! She has an expensive taste. We are drinking buddies now” Theo announced happily.“She drank?” Laina was beyond confused at this moment.“No! At least, not in front of me!” Theo shook his head in complete denial.“Then why did you give her vodka instead of a first aid kit, you brat?” Mark asked in an enraged tone.Theo frowned and replied, “Because she asked for it. She is my cousin too, I wanted to help! And….” “And?” Laina asked with a raised eyebrow.“And she had a morphine shot in her hands” Theo added
