Rose’s POV;Before he could utter another word, I heard a familiar voice,“What the hell do you think you are doing?”We both turned towards the source of the voice only to witness the said source marching towards us like a fuming dragon.“Mark!” left both of our mouths in shock.“Are you two nuts? What do you think you are doing?” Mark asked in anger.He grabbed Oliver’s arm and pushed him away from me.“Mark, I can explain!” I said but was cut rudely by him.“You better shut your mouth!” he said in an angry voice.“Mark, it’s not what you think…” Oliver tried but was awarded with an equal rage of emotions.“Oh, shut up, Oliver! Like you were not going to kiss her” Mark said with a look of disgust clear on his face.“How can you do that? How can you kiss your own cousin? Its disgusting bro!” Mark added making me cringe a bit with the unnecessary title. I knew it was about time that we cleared some conceptions.“That’s the thing, Mark! Listen to me. We are not related!” I spoke from
Rose’s POV:“I can smell him on you!” The moment the sentence left his mouth, I felt like a cheater. Like I was being disloyal. This unexplainable guilt took over me.“I told you to stay away from him and any man but you didn’t listen!” He roared with the anger clearly visible in his eyes.“Elijah..!” I was speechless. I regretted my every action. But why was I submitting to him again?‘Did I really do something wrong?’ I questioned myself.“Why did you do that?” Elijah asked, his face just inches apart from mine.I felt like my heart would burst out of my chest. I bet he could hear my thudding heartbeat.My breath quickened. Saying my palms were sweaty was not enough, I was sweating throughout my body.I should be grateful that my sweat doesn’t stink or I would’ve been embarrassed to death by now.I realized that when moments ago Oliver came this close to me all I could feel was disgust but right now, when Elijah is so close to me, a part of me, a bigger part to be honest, is quite
Rose’s POV;“Yes, I am, but listen, Uncle Pete and David, the two of your attackers passed away this morning!” I informed him of the grave news and was met with an expected reaction.“WHAT!” His eyes were popping out of his sockets. For a moment, he was out of breath. “That can’t be….!” He added breathlessly.He passed his hand through his hair and even in such a tense state, he looked exceptionally handsome.I could hear his heart racing against his chest. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.I gave him time to adjust to the awful news. I thought he could handle it better as he is not just a normal werewolf but the Werewolf king but his extreme reaction shocked me a bit. I don’t know if he was sad, shocked, or terrified of the news.‘Why did it have such a profound effect on him? Is it really because he didn’t want them to die?’He opened his eyes and looked into mine. His eyes were unreadable. I was dying to know what was he thinking right now.“How did you f
Third Person’s POV;“Don’t take my name like that! You are killing me..!” He complained and I said something which shocked me as well.“Kiss me..”“But Rose, you are still unsure about your feelings. Maybe we should get to know each other more before going ahea…” Elijah was trying to explain when Rose cut in.“You don’t want to?” She asked innocently, her eyes filled with sadness and hurt as she thought he didn’t want her.“Are you kidding me? I am dying to! But I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable! I am not someone who just wants you in bed. This attraction is not just physical. You are special to me. I want to claim you mine” he confessed what he was feeling.“I know. I trust you and I want the same” left her mouth in an instant, and the sound of it conveyed that she meant it.There she goes, asking for what she wants like a female Alpha. She was so proud of herself.Rose’s passionate words were enough for Elijah to remove the remaining distance between them and he claimed he
Third Person’s POV;“Rose, what the hell!”“MOM!”She didn’t have to turn around to see whose voice was it.Her heart was thudding again but this time for a different reason.‘Did she see us? Did she see Elijah? What the hell am I going to say?’ She closed her eyes in frustration.She remembered how Elijah calmed himself in a situation so deadly and decided to do the same. She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She plastered a fake smile on her face before turning towards her mother.She was about to tell her mother about Elijah but stopped when she spoke,“What are you doing out here?” her mom asked with her hand on her waist in a demanding posture.“Um, I.. I came here for some fresh air. It doesn’t feel that good staying in the basement” Rose was smart enough to get the pity out and successfully change the topic.“Yeah, I am sorry about that honey, you must be feeling suffocated” Mother added with a sign of sadness but soon it was changed to suspicion.“But why are you he
Third Person’s Pov;“My mate” Elijah replied.“WHAT!!!!” the three of them shouted in unison.Elijah was expecting this kind of reaction and the smile on his face clearly showed his infatuation for his mate.“Who is she? What’s her name?” Cora was the first one to bombard him with questions. “Which pack does she belong to?” Liam was next in line.“How does she look? What’s her age? Her height? Tell me everything!” Layla asked excitedly.Elijah chuckled at their reaction but the dreamy state took over again as he thought of his lovely mate.“Her name is Rose. She doesn’t belong to any pack. She is 23, a little taller than Layla and lastly, she is the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on” Elijah replied imagining her right in front of him smiling shyly at him with a constant blush on her rosy cheeks.Three of them looked at each other with confusion and shock before Liam cleared his throat and replied, “Every guy thinks the same about his girl. No need to be shocked”Elijah
Third Person’s POV;“Dad, Bro, how did they know that we kicked some werewolves out of our pack? Brother made that decision just yesterday and the attack was almost immediate” Cora asked and the suspension was already clear in everyone's mind but Elijah voiced it.“It’s easy, Cora. We have a traitor amongst us” Elijah informed without hesitating.“Who is it?” Liam asked almost immediately.“That is what we need to find out” Elijah said as gear in his was already rolling making a plan for to catch the traitor.“Liam, leave that to me. Prepare a grand welcome for the Alphas of different packs. Layla, dear, keep a close eye on everything for dinner tonight” Elijah commanded.“If I was a possessive best friend, I would have minded you calling her dear and not me” Liam said jokingly and Layla rolled her eyes.“Ever thought I would have preferred a possessive mate being angry that someone called me dear? So, stop with your crap, and let’s go” Layla dragged Liam out of the room and Elijah sh
Third Person’s POV;“What is it? What is troubling my dear nephew that he had to call me here urgently?”“Tell me everything you know about Mary Dawson”……………………..After Elijah and Crystal were done with their conversation, Crystal left for Phebe’s chamber while Elijah went towards the great hall for the meeting he planned.Once he was in the corridor, he saw Liam waiting for him.“Has everyone arrived?” Elijah asked him.“Yes, Alpha. Everyone is waiting for you in the corridor?” Liam answered respectfully.“Did you get the information you wanted?” Liam asked after a while as they were moving towards the meeting hall.“Yup” Elijah replied plainly without briefing the context of it.Elijah entered the room and everyone stood in respect.“Welcome everyone, I apologize for the delay as I was caught up in something urgent” Elijah announced and everyone nodded in understanding.He motioned everyone to take their seats. Once every seat was occupied the discussion began.“We heard that you w
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
