CHAPTER FIVEEleanor’s povI stopped liking parties. I stopped liking alcohol too. Blasting music turned into poison and did raw hot buzz. Unlike many other teens, adults, and old people alike, music and alcohol stopped offering me solace. In truth, nothing has ever had since the past two years. For someone who stopped liking music, you would be wondering what I was doing at one of the wildest clubhouses in the pack all by myself with about four vodka glasses of my tequila shots and that too. Sarah left the country with her parents after the death of Alpha Donovan while Clara was away in Germany for studies.Yes, the idea of a hot burning spirit in my mouth, throat, and stomach never appealed to me, but on this night, I hoped it would give me the peace I’ve always wished for. I hoped it would lessen the pain I carried around every day and everywhere in my heart for the last two years. I hoped it would help me tame my running mind but it didn’t. Just like every other night, I was a mes
CHAPTER SIXEleanor's PovIf only I could bring back the hands of time, not only would I change the last decision I made, I would gracefully destroy any dream I had of leaving my uncle's home because what I thought was hell with him was paradise when compared to what I suffered in the hands of the Alpha.Had I known….Just like most girls, growing up I've always dreamed of living in a big castle with a ballroom and chandeliers, grumpy butlers, and my very own wing where I can wear my princess dresses and do princess stuff and let's not forget the part where the prince comes to whisk me away to his even bigger castle and we all live happily ever after and spend his money. Yes, I'm materialistic—A girl has got to dream, sue me.But unlike most girls at almost twenty years old, deep down inside that abused heart of mine, I still cradle that dream like a newborn. Maybe it's a coping mechanism or maybe I'm just stupid.I chose to be with the Alpha because I was stupid. Because I let materi
CHAPTER SEVEN Alpha Jett's povMy alarm rang and I groaned before tuning to my left and faced the window where the rays shone on my face. I stared at the window for a while before I decided to sit up and yawned for a while. I stood up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom.I looked in the mirror and ran a hand through my hair as I stared at my face, I looked completely stressed; I had to do some things at my office before I could leave for the Paz pack and ever since I came, I'd been thinking of the perfect way to interrogate Luca that he wouldn't have the opportunity to deny anything or even escape the question. Body language was important and I had to be able to read his eyes in the short time I'd get after asking him the question to know if he's lying or not before he answers. I was still deep in my thoughts and plans when I unknowingly slept off… only to wake up late this morning. The event of two nights ago still heavy on my heart. I was a complete douche!I sighed and to
CHAPTER EIGHT Eleanor's PovWaking up to the sound of the bell going off had become a norm for me. However, for the first time in years, I woke up content and enthusiastic. I hope it lasts for a while at least until I decide on what to do with my life or make it better by seeing my prince charming. I couldn't believe I dreamt about him.The same man that had haunted me in my sleep for the past two years suddenly showed up and I was having wet dreams of him!I knew he was bound to come to the pack at some point but I never expected it to be this soon…or late?Whatever…."Eleanor! you can't possibly stay in bed all day long the house isn't going to clean itself...we have quite a lot of things to do" Cora's voice reverberated in my head. I grunted and used a pillow to preseason my head."Eleanor fucking…." "Fine am up, am up OK?" I whispered to myself as I got up from my comfort zone.First, it was Angelo and Hunter, and now Cora. Soon it will be Alpha Luca himself coming to wake me up
CHAPTER NINEELEANOR's POVWait what?“You are my mate, Lea. you are my destined wife” he growled.I hiccuped and swallowed. “It can't be…I obviously cannot be your mate…It must be a drunken mistake made by the Goddess.”I began to panic but Alpha Jett held me by my shoulders and shook me.“What nonsense are you saying? This…” he motioned between the two of us “this cannot be a blunder. It definitely isn't a mistake” “Oh, it is," I shook my head. “Everything about you has and always would be a mistake. I'd never accept you as my mate. Not after all what you did to me. As if fucking me and disappearing after wasn't enough, you suddenly showed up but completely ignored what happened between us. You did it as if it never happened. And now…now you say I am your mate? What a joke!'' I hissed. “I won't accept you as I'll never forgive you. You can go ahead and cry or search elsewhere” the hurt on his face was palpable and almost touchable. My wolf was grieving too but I was pulling every
CHAPTER TENAlpha Jett's povHer hands were a work of wonder. Her tiny fingers played on my chest and I fought the strong urge to sigh or moan in satisfaction at the feel of her soft delicate fingers against my body.She was really close too, and her scent was strong and flooded my nostrils. I felt ecstasy bounce through my whole body and I felt like I was on cloud nine when my eyes met hers and saw how vulnerable she looked at that moment.Her lashes fanned her cheekbones and her lips parted in shock, I could see the shock on her face from bumping into me but there was also a glimpse of want in the way her fingers lingered on my skin like she didn't want to let go and I was glad I wasn't the only one feeling this way. I masked it perfectly though because I had to be sure to not give myself away or whatever it was I was thinking.The satisfaction of seeing her affected by my presence and body made my insides tingle and I instinctively smirked at her as she looked up to look at me agai
CHAPTER ELEVENEleanor's PovIt felt like I was in two worlds. While my body felt numb and extremely punctured, my mind felt at ease like I was in the place the tales talked about. The place to adapt rest and serenity—the things I lacked and needed in my life.Slowly, I came around to my senses, but everything, with the inclusion of my memory, was only a hazy blur.I wake up to a soft and fluffy pillow. It was like I was sinking into a bed of feathers. This isn’t my bed. This is also not my pillow. I think in my sleep. But I love it. It’s sorting. I bounce on it and moan.Lovely. I’ll gladly die in a place like this.Wait! This is not my bed, So I’m not home; what if I was kidnapped and this is the kidnapper's den? I’m suddenly scared, and I open my eyes, and for a moment, I’m confused.Uhm, hold up. Have I indeed been kidnapped? Well, one way to find out. Stand up and check. I tried to get up, and a shooting pain passes through my legs. I’ve been kidnapped because what’s this pain.
CHAPTER TWELVEAlpha Jett's povA DAY AGO…It was a day after Eleanor's kidnap and I found myself thinking about how she would be faring during my last day at Paz pack. I wanted to see her, feel her hands against my chest again like that night when we bumped into each other, and be so close to her while she would breathe in and out against my face. The feeling was euphoric that night in the kitchen and I found myself traveling back to that special moment that we shared even though she looked shit scared.I was in my room with Zayn when we heard a knock on the door and Zayn let the person in; it was a guard from Paz pack. "Alpha Luca says he's ready to meet you for the private meeting now," he said and bowed before me before leaving.I got dressed and went downstairs where breakfast was laid out on the dining table for me, Zayn and Luca. He was already seated, waiting for us when I got to the table. I sat at the far end opposite Luca while Zayn sat beside me and the maids served us wha
