LOGINRejected by her mate, sold by her father, Elaine Theodore is marked by Dylan Brooks, Alpha of the Nightshade Nook, not as a mate but as a vessel. An heir through cold insemination nothing more. In one year, the baby will be taken and she will be discarded. Dylan was prepared for a breeder. He wasn't prepared to feel his dead heart lurch. And he's definitely not prepared for what happens when a beast realizes the girl he caged is the only one who can tame him.
View MoreIsrael's POVThe council's words were still ringing in my ears when I left Nightshade Nook."Alpha Dylan must produce an heir. The curse won't wait. If you cannot find a willing female, then find one who can be made willing.”Dylan sat silent through the whole meeting, his expression like stone. He didn't argue. He just stared at the council men while they debated over his life. They wanted an heir even if it was through a breeder.I didn't like it, but had no choice but to carry out the task.I had sent out letters to the packs around us, but not one single person was willing. Mothers shut their door at the name — Nightshade Nook like a curse.I moved down the list. Next stop: Whisperbane Hollow.I arrived as the whole pack was funneled towards the hall for the mating ceremony. I didn't plan to stay long. Just watch, asses, leave. If there was no one suitable I'd move on.Then I saw her.Elaine Theodore.She stood on the podium. Eyes red, her cheek stained with tears, and said three
Elaine's POV The hall buzzed with loud music. Gold and purple draped across every pillar. The crystal lights hung overhead, giving a cool but sophisticated aura. Mates clinged to each other, their fingers intertwined, whispering and laughing like the night only belonged to them.At the center, Finn stood in a purple tuxedo, shaking hands and smiling wide for the guests. Beside him stood Olivia arm linked with his, giving her brightest smile. Laughing at the slightest joke made.Behind them was my father–Maxwell, arms linked with my stepmother, smiling at Olivia. The same smile he once gave me before it turned ice cold. One would think they were a nice and perfect family until they got into their closet.I slid into the corners, making myself invisible to the whole scenario. Perhaps, if I stood there, the whole night would forget I ever existed.“Oh look who's hiding” a familiar voice laughed behind me — kylie.“It's the Alpha's reject” Cassandra joined, completing her statement like
Elaine's POV“Who are….” Before he could finish, a blur of black slammed into him. Bones cracked, his head was lifted off his body.He was…..dead.The weight on me disappeared. I gasped, choking as the other rogues stepped back, shifting into wolves.They didn't stand a chance Before they moved, they were thrown flying into the trees. Blood stained the leaves. The forest went silent except for their whimpers.The whimper stopped. Four lifeless bodies lay cold on the ground.When it was over, he stood over me tossing a jacket I hadn't noticed towards me.He stepped away into the dark before shifting. “Don't ever wander into the forest if you have no defense” He said. Then he disappeared into the darkness like he belonged to it. “I'm alive” I whispered more to myself.I pulled the jacket around my bare skin, wincing from the bruises of their grip. Then I limped back home. “Where are you coming from?” My stepmother Nina barked, her voice laced with anger. Olivia stood beside her.I
Elaine's POV I stood at the door in shock, my legs glued to the ground refusing to move. My gaze from Olivia to Finn. She was in her underwear, head buried in Finn's chest. Finn looked wrecked, hair messy, shirt hanging on the table as he buried his face in her neck, kissing her while his hands trailed down her body. They would have gone further, stripping each other naked if I didn't barge in.“What the fuck!”“How could you?” I screamed, my voice ripping through the hallway. I tried fighting back my tears, but it wasn't working.“Oh what do we have here? It's the weak pathetic omega” she said, tilting her head to face me. Her face displayed mockery, satisfaction and victory.I tried to speak, but the words stuck to my throat, refusing to expose the hurt in them. I turned to Finn now fully dressed, searching his eyes for an explanation.“Finn, I can forgive you if you admit this was a mistake.
