*****Elvira's POV*****
When I woke up, the pains from my stomach had disappeared. But the pains in my chest knew no bounds.The very thought that I had lost my unborn child came as a shock to me.A child I had waited so long for, only to lose it because of the very man I called my husband.Archie was really a heartless and good for nothing man.All he knew how to do was rant about being an Alpha and bring in someone to beat his wife up.The door to the bedroom was pushed open just then, in walked Archie with a file in his hand.I turned to glare at him, his face reminding me of my present condition.To be honest, I was done with this marriage.I just didn't want to be married anymore, not to anyone or even Archie."So you were pregnant and you refused to let me know?!" Archie suddenly growled beside me, but I ignored him.He could rant all he wanted and I wouldn't even budge."F**king Answer me!" Archie yelled again and I turned to glare at him."Did you give me a chance? I asked for your help when I felt pain, but what did you do?!" This time, it was my turn to yell back at him."Now you yell at me?" He asked and chuckled darkly.But I wasn't in the slightest scared of him.I was pissed and I hated him with everything in me."Fine then, since it's gotten to the point you yell at me." Archie snorted and threw the papers in his hand at me."Sign it, they're the divorce papers" he said,"I'm done with this shit of a marriage"At first, I froze. But when I thought about it, Archie wasn't worth it.So what if he was my mate, he was still a douche bag."Alright" I accepted immediately and picked up a pen to sign.I was going to start all afresh.I didn't need Archie.He gazed at me without saying a word, but I couldn't care less about him.After signing, I threw the papers back at him before standing up to my feet."I, Elvira Ashenpaw, Luna of the Shadowed moon pack hereby reject you, Archie Knox, Alpha of the Shadowed moon pack!"And that was all it took to be free from him.Archie glared even more at me, but I pushed past him and headed to my closet.Time to leave this hell of a packhouse for good."This is the right decision, El" Dahlia said to me and I hummed in reply."You're going to regret this, Elvira" Archie said and stormed out of the room.I couldn't care less about him as I packed my stuff to leave.Once I had made sure everything was intact, I pulled my luggage out of the room.Like I said before, the storm was approaching and now it arrived.The rain was falling heavily when I stepped on to the porch.Jaxon had left for the hospital and there was no one to call.I immediately remembered Jaxon's mate and my best friend, Daphne.I pulled out my phone to call her and on the second ring, she picked up the phone."Daphne I need you to come pick me up from the Shadowed moon packhouse" I said calmly and she hummed in reply.A few moments later, I was seated in Daphne's car as she drove me out of the estate of the Shadowed moon pack.I kept my gaze lowered as I thought about everything that had happened."El, no need to sulk like a child" Daphne said to me and I chuckled between tears."I'm not sulking""Yes you are, look at you" Daphne said and gestured to my face.I snorted and averted my gaze immediately."Even if Archie is my Alpha, I would still say it loudly that he is such a douche bag!" Daphne said, her attitude arising.I laughed and nodded through sobs."You'll be fine" she said and squeezed my arm with her right hand.She soon pulled up at the driveway of my parents house and we both got down.We ran directly inside, with her carrying the luggage.The living room was empty with only the fireplace warming up the entire house.Daphne then pushed the luggage to the side."Miss Ashen Paw! We're here!" Daphne wasted no item in yelling out my mum's name.Soon we heard footsteps from upstairs.I looked up at the staircase and on seeing my mum's usual outwardly looks and a face that never aged, I sighed as a smile broke out on my face.Tears also followed.My mum paused in her tracks on seeing me.She blinked and opened her mouth to say a word, but her eyes suddenly drifted to my luggage."Elvira what's the meaning of this?" She gestured to my luggage.I sighed and felt a tear slip from my eyes on seeing her face."Mum" I mouthed and ran towards her.I embraced her tightly, letting myself get wrapped in her warm embrace.The hug was what I needed the most now.I felt my legs give up on me and I collapsed on my knees"El, what's wrong?!" My mum panicked and knelt with me.She looked up at Daphne who sniffed behind me.My mom then asked, "Daphne what happened to her?" Daphne sighed behind me, "Auntie, a lot of things have happened. Elvira will tell you everything"Mom slowly pushed me away to look at my face, seeing that I still had tears in my eyes that hadn't dried up, she broke out into tears as well."Tell me in one word what has happened to you, Elvira" mom said again and I sniffed, wiping my tears."Mom if I tell you, please do not panic and give me some time to heal, Alright?" I asked and she nodded."Please go ahead and tell me, Elvira, tell your mother what happened to you" she urged.I shut my eyes and suddenly said it, "I got divorced"*****Elvira's POV***** Two weeks had passed since I got divorced from Archie.I tried to build my life from scratch, aiming to live like nothing ever happened.But it wasn't that easy.Each time I remembered the struggles I passed through and how I had ended, I always felt tears build up in my eyes.And right now, I was tearing up again at my workplace.After I told mum everything, she had told me to move on in life and not dwell on the past.Though my father was far from happy.He was so angry and almost disowned me because I had gotten divorced and ruined the life of power he felt he had.He didn't even care that I was abused and I lost my pregnancy, he only cares about power and benefits.Daphne afterwards found me a job at a restaurant.The restaurant was the biggest in the city and had top elites of the city visiting it day by day.I liked the job, it was a perfect distraction from life struggles, but I still couldn't deny the hurt I feel each time I see couples come into the re
*****Elvira's POV*****We soon arrived at the expected Moon forest Den, But not at the packhouse.The party was held in one of the hotels belonging to the Moon forest Den Alphas; The Lycan Twins.The entrance was buzzing with both the elites of the city and some other people I couldn't actually recognize. Not that I recognized anyone though.Thankfully, the invitation Daphne had, got us into the hotel after the valet took our little car.The valet looked very stuffed in Daphne's car and I had to pitifully shake my head inwardly for him."We're finally in! I can't believe this!" Daphne squealed in excitement as we made our way deeper into the party grounds.I had expected a party where teenagers would be filled all around, but I was wrong.There were elderly and other Pack Alphas as I recognized.The Lycan Princess was very influential to know so many people of such caliber.."What do you expect when she is a Lycan princess? It's normal for her to have lots of friends." Dahlia let out.
*****Author's POV*****The Twins stared at the woman before them, with wide eyes. They mouthed the word mate, but actually it was their wolves calling out to hers.She looked so pale and frail, any word to describe a weak looking wolf. Not that Elvira looked like an Omega, but she also didn't look strong either.Being the most feared, most wanted and most hottest men in the city, they deserved someone powerful at least.Someone who was worthy to stand by them and not look like a damsel in distress.Elvira looked nothing like a strong wolf and it turned the twins off in some way.Zayn, being the eldest and calmest of the both, just sighed and turned to move in another direction.Zayden gave El one last glance and followed his brother as they went to find their sister.Honestly, they didn't hate El, but they didn't like her either. She might be their mate, but she wasn't in the least attractive.Zayn's Lycan, Loki, growled at him for leaving just like that."Isn't this what you both a
*****Elvira's POV*****Daphne just stared at my face after I said those words to her. My tears couldn't stop falling amd I just couldn't figure out why.Yes I really didn't want men in my life, I don't need mates. But the look the Twins gave me and how they just ignored me as they both made their way to the opposite directions, hurt me more than anything bad that had ever happened to me.They gave me a look as if I was some worthless piece of trash they happened to be unfortunately matched with.Though I wouldn't reject them because ofthat look they gave me, but i still wouldn't accept them.But did they have to look at me that way?Did they have to act like I was some worthless item?I felt hurt for some reason.The twins didn't even look like they were ready to accept me. They looked like they hated the mere sight of me standing there as their fated mate.Dahlia finally spoke up after a while of silence, "El, don't be mad, maybe they just weren't expecting to see you yet" she tried
*****Author's POV*****"Aww man! I can't believe I lost to you again!" Zayden groaned as he tossed the spear in his hand to the floor. He collapsed on to the field grass as he shut his eyes to shield it from the sun.The sweat trickling down his forehead gave him an alluring look as he breathed out heavily."That's cause you've been so distracted ever since we began," Eric, Zayn and Zayden's Beta said as he sat beside the sulking Zayden.Zayden had never lost to Eric ever before, but today seemed exceptional as Zayden kept missing his targets and ends up getting hit by Eric.At first, Eric thought maybe he was becoming stronger, but then he noticed the look that continuously flashed in Zayden's eyes each time they began another round of fighting.He immediately knew Zayden was distracted or else, his ass would have been kicked."What are you thinking about?" Eric asked him as he drank water straight from the water bottle.Zayden stayed quiet for a while, just staring at the clear blue
*****Author's POV*****Zayden starggard as those words rang in his ears.Mates?The same pretty lady from the party tried to kill their mother?Zayn's face was frozen over as he stared at Zayden's shocked ones. This had been his exact reaction when Elvira was pulled out from the kitchen as the one who served his mother when she arrived at the restaurant.The shock on both Elvira and Zayn's faces was palpable.Elvira had tears in her eyes as she just stared at Zayn at that time.Because of the stupid mate bond, Zayn couldn't do anything to her and felt pity instead.He directly took his mother to the pack's infirmary, then headed home afterwards.He just couldn't do anything to her because of the mate pull.Zayden finally snapped out from his dazed state and directly looked into Zayn's eyes."Are you sure of what you're saying? That woman tried to kill our mother?" He asked, his deep voice becoming extremely low and terrifying.Zayn nodded slightly and the atmosphere became suffocating
*****Elvira's POV*****"Elvira? You?" I saw the look of surprise flash in Erika's eyes as she pointed her index finger at me.I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat, my hands trembling at these sudden problems.What happened for goodness sake?! I was happily working this morning when the boss said there was an order at table 16. I arranged the order and placed it aside to get a package from the back door. I returned to find nothing strange around the meal, waving at the others as I carried the tray off the counter, I made my way into the Vip center to serve table 16.The lady at table 16 was nice and beautiful. She spoke politely to me with a gentle smile as I served her, but never once did she show any sign of discomfort. So I was extremely confused when she suddenly began to cough hard, even to the extent of passing out.Now, I'm being interrogated like some criminal. I already explained the entire thing to the pack's police and Daphne.Daphne understood and believed me, b
*****Elvira's POV***** I was dragged away from the restaurant and stuffed into Zayden's car as requested by him, then the car sped off from the premises.Daphne was yelling out to them—Zayden, Zayn and Erika as they drove off, leaving behind dust in their trail.I sat silently beside Erika as the silent twin drove straight towards the Moon forest Den estate.In no time, the silent twin drove into the estate and directly to the packhouse. The entire place had a beautiful and sophisticated appearance, with beautiful flowers and a huge fountain at the center of the compound.But I wasn't given the time to admire the entire place because I was immediately pulled out of the car the moment it came to a halt at the entrance."El, you have to stay calm, okay?" Dahlia suddenly said to me and I hummed in reply. She said nothing more as I was led into the huge pack mansion, fear settling at the pit of my stomach when I was pulled to the direction of what seemed to be a dungeon.My feet trembled
