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
Third Person’s POV,“Are you awake?” She asked in shock as she moved towards him instantly.He regained his consciousness but his eyes were still closed. He looked like he was trying to open them while battling with himself.“Yeahhh” he replied breathlessly as he tried to get up.‘I never heard something so sexy and provoking before!’ she thought while swallowing hard. She cleared her throat and asked him in astonishment.“How can you wake up so early?” but he decidedly not to reply.He tried to get up but his eyes were still closed and his entire body was aching like thousands of needles were piercing through his body.“Why are you trying to get up? You need rest” She said, as she moved toward him with the speed of light.“You were shot…” She tried to argue but he didn’t let her finish.“Four times. I know” He replied in his deep seductive voice and snapped open his eyes.His royal blue eyes met with her emerald green orbs. She was bewitched by his deep hypnotic eyes. She looked away
Third person’s POV;At this very moment, the door of Elijah’s room opened and the least expected walked in,“ROSE!”Without uttering a word, Rose just walked towards him.She also had no idea what was wrong with her, like her feet were working independently.On the other hand, Elijah’s heart was thudding against his chest.Every single day, he prayed to meet his mate, and now that he has finally found her, the universe has gotten him into another trouble—a big one indeed!The least he wanted in his life was getting into a cheating scandal and that too in front of Rose. Cherry on top, Rose is the one who caught him!He was thinking about ways to explain to Rose that he was not the culprit and that nothing was going on between him and Beta’s daughter.With each slow step Rose was taking towards him, he felt his heart was about to break out of his chest.She was looking straight into his eyes. At the moment, her celestial face was unreadable.Elijah pushed Sofia away from him, Sofia almo
Third Person’s POV;“It was all my fault! It all happened because of me!” Rose said in a low voice and a tear rolled down to her cheek.“No” Elijah held her shoulders.“I came to your life and made it a living hell. Your mother would never accept me and now, you also had a fight with her because of me. She will hate me now” she said, a small tear fell doan on her cheek.“No, baby. Nothing like that is going to happen. I will talk to my mother tomorrow and everything will be alright” he said while wiping her tear.“This wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t come to your life. I think I should leave” Her voice cracked when she spoke. She really didn’t have the courage to leave her. She didn’t know how but she loved him more than she should.“Don’t ever say that! I can’t lose you” He said with his eyes speaking louder than words.She could see the millions of emotions in his eyes.“What will happen now?” she asked in a low voice.“Do you trust me?” He asked, his eyes never leaving hers.Ros
Third Person’s POV;“Elijah”The moment she took his name, he felt his heart thudding against his chest. He was still in shock how she has such a profound effect on him.His legs automatically started moving towards her.On the other hand, Rose felt her cheek burning when his eyes were staring deep down in her soul. She looked down in embarrassment.Elijah didn’t feel his mother’s intense gazes on him as he moved towards his mate. Now, he was standing right in front of Rose.Rose lifted her head up and their eyes met again for the second time. Elijah’s hand moved towards her cheek like an automatic reaction.Both of them were so lost in each other that they almost forget that they had company. Like it was just them in the entire mansion. ‘Just them’He caressed her cheek gently with his thumb and Rose felt a wave of electricity passing through her entire body.She wanted to jump in his arms and let him know how much she missed him and he wanted to the same, take her in his arms and fo
Elijah’s POV;“Your mate is here” My heart began pounding against my chest, the moment I heard those words.So, I was right. She is here already. She came for me.It’s been days since I met her but I already feel like I know everything about her. I don’t know how but this is crazy.Is it how being each other’s ‘soulmate’ means?“Where is she staying?” I asked plainly, keeping my excitement under control.I am the Future Werewolf King, I am not allowed to show my emotions in front of others. As my father always say, ‘Your emotions are your biggest enemy!’“She is staying at your chambers, Your Highness. Ms. Swan was the one who came up with this idea. I tried to..” the servant was dripping with sweat.Must be because Layla didn’t inform me about this and not everyone is allowed to stay at Crown Prince’s chamber, not even his mate until they are marked.I don’t know how she managed to lure mom for this but I am really proud of her.‘Good Job, Layla!’“Very well. You may leave now” I smi
Elijah’s Mother Luna Queen Phebe’s POV;“I wasn’t imagining things. She indeed look exactly like her” Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I was more astonished than before. How can I not guess before?“Look like who, if I may ask?” Hazel asked confusedly.‘Is she even for real?’“Rose, Crown prince’s mate. Doesn’t she look like Mary?” I asked with an arched eyebrow.“Oh, yes, your Highness. Now that you have mentioned it, she is indeed the exact copy of Ms. Mary Dawson” Hazel nodded her head with a bright smile.That darn fool! Why is she smiling like that?“Didn’t you think that when you first saw her?” I asked, while glaring at Hazel for playing fool with me.“Pardon me, Your Majesty. I thought she looked like someone I knew when you first said it but I also couldn’t remember as it’s been nearly three decades since I saw Ms. Dawson last” She looked down with fear.“It’s okay. It’s good enough that we know now” I said while turned around to move out of the room.I don’t have mu
Rose’s POV;“WHAT? A war?” My eyes turned as wide as the moon.“Yeah, Elijah, Alpha King Cole, Liam, and others went to a war with vampires” Layla explained anxiously. All the worry that she was hiding in her eyes was now visible in her delicate face.“Vampires exist?” I asked astonished by one other fact that I was blinded to.“Unfortunately, yes and they attacked my pack, Silver Moon. My family and my pack are in grave danger. I don’t know if they are even alive or not. Elijah and others went there as soon as possible to protect them” As the painful reality came out in the open, tears started rolling out of her eyes.“I am sorry to hear that” I hugged her gently and patted her back to show my support. I cant even imagine what she is going through.I knew she was in no condition to talk any further.After a while, she parted from me and wiped her tears from her now ruby face. I took her hand and sat on the most giant bed I have seen in my entire life. I was really amazed by the inter
Rose’s POV;“Layla, is he in some kind of danger?” I asked, with uneasy thought, my heart was thudding against my chest. “He is The Future Werewolf King, he is always in danger” She waved her hand casually like its normal to always be in danger.“What’s the other reason?” I asked curiously.“Whenever he goes, people follow. People stare at him like mad dogs and don’t even get me started with those bimbos who lust over him, all the damn time. He was never interested in that kind of attention. Hence, he keeps his things private. Only a few people have access to his chambers.” Layla explained patiently.We were passing through a gigantic wooden door that was carved to perfection.“That’s Elijah’s room” She pointed toward the giant door as we walked past it. It really took us a while to pass the entire area to reach another door which was nearly as big as Elijah’s door.“So, how many people stay in here, in this very chamber?” I asked as we were standing near the second door.“Just Elija
Rose’s POV;‘Have I seen him somewhere?’“Sister in law, it’s rude to stare” the young guy said, coughing a little to bring me back to reality.Even his voice sounds familiar. Am I going nuts?“Oh, I apologize. It’s just., you look a little familiar” I replied, coughing back in embarrassment.‘A little? Not really! He looks a lot familiar but my darn brain just couldn’t recollect!’ I cursed my beautiful brain like always.“I am pretty sure I have never met you before” he replied nonchalantly.No doubt, the kid was confident but the way he spoke it was straight away rude. Nobody was interested in that miniature sized guy when I have the mighty werewolf king for myself.“I beg your pardon?” I replied, plastering a tight smile.“I wasn’t being rude, sister in law, if that’s what you are concerned about” was his another nonchalant reply.‘Can he read mind? Is this kid special?’ I thought but his next statement dragged me out of my chain of thoughts. “It’s just, they always keep me locked
Rose’s POV;“Why didn’t you change?” She asked confusedly.“Thank you for helping me but I really want her to like me as I am. Elijah accepted me for who I am” I said“I understand and trust me, I really appreciate you being real. Let’s go meet his mother then” She smiled, she was so understanding.She is an angel!We moved towards the great hall again and then through the center, we moved inside another long chamber.After walking for a while, we finally reached near the Royal chamber.“Does Elijah stays here too?”“Nope, Elijah and Cora stays at the first floor”“Entire floor?”“Yeah. You have been given room adjacent to Elijah for now. I will take you there later”“I am afraid I will get lost in this huge castle” I replied“Don’t worry, you will be all fine” She addedShe knocked on the door which looked like it was straight from fairy tale.“Aunt Phebe, can we make your acquaintance?” She asked“Please come inside, my dear Layla” came a melodic voice from inside.She opened the do
