Elena’s Pov
Oliver stood looking at me and the old lady in surprise. I was not only standing up to him but I stood my ground. He looked at Ana with a glare “Who are you? And why are you on my land?” Ana walked to a chair, taking a seat, “Young warlord, who I am is not necessary but who are you and why is your fate tied to hers?” Oliver looked at me, then back to Ana “So…..why is my fate tied to hers?” He asked with a tone of sarcasm. “That’s not for me to say but know that she is someone who you would need by your side,” Ana told Oliver, he stood up in anger and glared at Ana. “Elena, you have two minutes to say your goodbye, meet me outside, and let’s go or else I will come in and drag you back,” Oliver said and stormed off from the house. I exhaled, knowing that I had to go back, I turned to face Ana, she had a smile on her face and I instantly felt bad. For the first time in my life, I found someone who treated me like a human and helped me without anything in return. I held her hands as tears swelled up in my eyes “Why don’t you follow us back to town? It is much better there and you can get a lot of help from me and others. I know you can do things yourself but your body needs to rest sometimes.” She used her shaky hands to wipe the tears rolling down my eyes “You don’t have to worry about me. I will be fine, plus I can’t seem to leave this little cabin, it’s part of me now.” I hugged her, pain shooting out of my eyes in the form of tears. “Shh, child it's alright.” She patted my back to comfort me. “I’m going to come visit you every chance I get, okay?” I said to her and she nodded with a smile. “Now go before the big wolf will bring down my cabin!” She said and I chuckled at her joke. I turned to leave as she waved at me. I glanced back one last time and before I left, I heard her say “I will always be here!” A tear dropped in my eyes as I came out of the cabin. I saw Oliver standing there with three other guards and the one who talked with me when I was in the infirmary. Oliver turned to look at me with a smile, instead of seeing someone who loved me I saw someone I hated. “Are you set?” He asked and I pushed past him with no words. I got into the car, sitting at the extreme. The trip started and the further we got away from the cabin the more eyes flowed down my eyes. I stared at the window all through the ride back and I eventually fell asleep. ******* Hours later, I felt someone trying to lift me and I opened my eyes to see Oliver and I was being lifted by him. “Drop me down, I can walk,” I told him coldly “But you were asleep.” He said to me “Drop me!” I repeated. He stared into my eyes for a while before he proceeded to drop me down. I quickly arranged myself and my clothes and walked into the pack house, fully ignoring him. I walked to my room and slammed the door shut, as I lay on the bed. The events of everything that happened since I met him flowed back. “Ahhhhhh…..I hate him so much!” I yelled out. Just then the door pushed open and the one person I never wanted to see stepped in. “What are you doing here? Please leave.” I said to him and his face fell. “Elena, can we talk?” He said in a soft tone. I threw my face away, refusing to even look at him “No, so please leave my room. I want to take my bath and rest. Today had been a hectic day.” He sighed “I know you are angry but you ran away from the pack. You went missing for over two weeks and you were injured. For crying out loud, I thought you were……dead!” I paused, looking at him but remembering why I ran away in the first place, I got angry. “You caused it. I was running away from the pain you caused. I don’t know why you changed your mind but please, leave me alone. I will always be rejected by you and that’s all” My voice is firm, eyes staring straight at him. I pointed at the door “Please leave!” I said to him. His shoulders dropped in sadness, his eyes filled with guilt but what I felt was anger and pain. “Fine, I will leave but I won’t stop trying to get it right with you,” Oliver said, he then turned to leave. The door shut behind him and all my guards came crashing down. I cried so hard that I had no more tears to pour out. The pain I had to feel alone, was the worst thing I had ever experienced. My chest aches so badly that I couldn’t breathe any longer as I prayed for the moon goddess to put me out of my misery. I sat on the floor crying for about an hour before I got up and walked into the shower. I took my bath, washed my hair, and washed out the dirt from my body. I changed my clothes for nightwear and I went straight to bed without any food as I had no appetite to eat. Third pov A girl wearing a silver gown stared into the moonlight. She radiates power and strength. She inhaled the air around her and stared up into space. Someone appeared behind her, her eyes moved to that side acknowledging the person’s presence. “So…..is she back?” the girl asked “Yes Luna….she is.” Her hands clenched into a fist and her eyes squinting anger, “I guess our work was not yet done.”Elena’s povThe air in the hidden chamber was thick with the scent of old parchment and magic. Willow, ethereal and serene in her human form, smiled at me, her eyes holding ancient wisdom. She extended a hand, and without thinking twice, I took it. The world dissolved around me, colors swirling into a dizzying mixture before getting together into a new reality.I stood in a circular room, its walls lined with shelves overflowing with leather-bound books. In the center, a large, old book lay open on a pedestal, bathed in a soft, ethereal glow. An irresistible pull drew me to it, and I began to read. The language was unfamiliar, yet I understood every word. It was a prophecy, my prophecy.But not the one I knew. This wasn't about a werewolf pack, or a war with elves. This was about me.The words on the page began to shimmer, transforming into vibrant images. I saw myself, Elena, not as a werewolf, but as a powerful magician, living in a sun-drenched cottage nestled deep within a vibran
Elena’s povThe rumble of the carriage wheels was a dull counterpoint to the turmoil inside me. Chloe and Jax were gone. Chloe, sentenced to exile, and Jax… well, his fate was harder to swallow because he could experience instant death the second he stepped his foot into Blood Hounds pack. They’d both put the pack at risk, and while I knew Oliver had done the right thing – the only thing he could do as Alpha – it still felt like a piece of my own heart had been ripped away with each pronouncement.These were people who put my life at risk but for a minute I felt bad for them. It was simply jealousy and anger and on Jax’s part, mindless love.Oliver let out a long, shaky breath beside me. I glanced at him. His face was etched with exhaustion and a deep, abiding sadness. Sentencing his own sister couldn't have been easy.I reached out, gently covering his hand with mine. "It's not your fault, Oliver," I said softly. "Chloe had a choice. She chose to betray us."He squeezed my hand, his
Third person povElena adjusted the worn leather straps of her backpack. She didn’t really need a bag but she just wanted to hold on to something. Today was the day she would finally go to Willow's temple and get the answers to the question she had. Part of her decided not to impose too much and just go with gratitude in her heart first.She smoothed down the simple linen dress she wore, tucking stray strands of her dark hair behind her ears. She made sure the sandals she was wearing were her comfortable pair.A gentle knock sounded on her door. "Elena? Oliver needs to see you in his office." It was Lucas, his voice warm and reassuring as always.Elena sighed. "Aren’t we leaving soon? I’m ready.""It won't take long. He asked specifically for you." Lucas's tone hinted at a plea, and Elena knew arguing was futile.With another deep breath, she quickly braided her dark hair, securing it at the top with a small ribbon. "Alright, let's go."As they walked towards Oliver's office, Lucas wa
Elena’s povMy heart felt lighter than it had in months as I watched Beauty and Daniel approach. Their hands were intertwined, an obvious proof of a connection that’s been made before our very eyes. We were all gathered outside the pack house: Lucas, Oliver, and myself, watching Nate and Sam chase huge balloons across the grassy clearing.My stomach bubbled in excitement as I watched the two of them steak glanced at each other and smile shyly. That had it coming for a while. It was obvious to everyone but the two of them that they were going to get together, they were just too blind to see it."Look who it is!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands together. "Beauty and Daniel! Finally!"Oliver chuckled, nudging Daniel with his elbow as they drew closer. "Looks like someone finally found their match." Daniel coughed, a blush creeping up his neck as he glanced away nervously.I waved them over, wanting to share in their happiness. "Come sit with us! Tell us all about the play." I emphasized o
Elena’s povOliver's hand felt warm and solid in mine as we walked back to our room. The evening air was cool, a welcome change from the stuffy dungeon. He squeezed my hand gently. “So, the Willow’s temple? Why do you think the Magician wanted you specifically to go?”His question pulled me from my thoughts, but not entirely. For a while, I have been thinking about Lucas and my strange connection with him.I shrugged, trying to sound casual. "I have no idea. She was not clear, wasn't he? Maybe it's something about my magic – or lack of it. I’ll just have to go and find out myself." I hated admitting that, but it was the truth. I was a werewolf, Oliver's mate, but I felt like I needed to know more in this world of magic.Oliver frowned. "We’ll figure it all out Elena." He stopped walking and turned to face me, his eyes showing the rawest form of sincerity. "Whatever this is, we'll face it together, okay?"I nodded, forcing a smile. "Okay. But I want to go as soon as possible. This whol
Elena’s povThe afternoon sun cast long shadows across the hallway as I watched Daniel and Beauty stroll towards the village. Their fingers were intertwined, and Beauty's laughter floated back to me on the gentle breeze. They looked so carefree, so… happy. A smile tugged at my lips. They were good for each other.A familiar warmth settled around me as arms wrapped around my waist from behind. I instinctively leaned back into Oliver’s frame. "Hey," I murmured, closing my eyes."Hey yourself," he said, his voice a low rumble against my ear. "How are you?""I'm… okay," I replied, a small lie. I was a tangled mess of guilt and excitement, fear and hope. "And you?""Fine. Chloe's been... well, let's just say she's really feeling the weight of what she did. It's good, though. Maybe she'll finally learn."I nodded, not wanting to dwell on Chloe’s past actions. Leaning more comfortably into Oliver, I took a deep breath. "I need to tell you something." The words felt heavy, like stones in my
