CHAPTER FIVE
ELIJAH’S POV
“Mum said that to you?” I ask in anger and Ella silently nods her head with a sad look on.
She just told me that my mum attacked her and said really mean things to her and I just can’t take it in anymore.
I can take her not liking Ella, but disrespecting her is going way over board and I’m not going to let that slide.
“I’m gonna go talk to her”
“No Elijah, that won’t be necessary. Let’s just let it slide. I promise I’m good”
“But I’m not, this has got to stop. I’m not going to let her disrespect you, not now, not ever!” I scold as I storm out of my bedroom and stride over to my mother’s chambers.
All my life, I have loved and respected her, considered her decisions, but right now, I won’t take her disrespect.
Ella is soon going to be my wife and Luna of this pack, she has to learn to accept that fact and respect her.
“Mother!” I call with my Alpha voice as I storm into her living room and when I see her watching TV, I halt on my tracks and cast her a stern look.
“I hope she also told you that she had a good time taunting Cassie in her cell all morning?”
“What are you talking about?” I ask confused and she rises from the chair and walks over to me.
“I presume Ella told you all what I said to her”
“Yes she did and right now I’m so mad at you, mum you need to learn to accept and respect her”
“You don’t tell me what I need to do Elijah. I will never accept Ella into this family.”
“Well too bad for you, I do not need your opinion on that.”
“Good, so why are you here? Why do you care what I say to her?”
“Because you are hurting her?”
“Hurting her? Really?”
“Yes mum, why do you always taunt her?”
“Because she deserves it. Did she even tell you the entire story?”
“I do not need to hear the entire story mum. I know what you are capable of doing and the things you can say to Ella for absolutely no reason”
“If you are just going to keep taking her side without asking wanting to know what truly happened, you might as well just leave”
“Mum… I can’t believe you are siding with a total stranger on this”
“What total stranger?”
“Cassie of course! Why are you siding with her? She is our enemy”
“That’s where you are wrong. Cassie is not a stranger, neither is she our enemy. She is your rightful mate and that automatically makes her my rightful daughter-in-law and the real Luna of this pack, not some opportunist you picked on the streets”
“Mum! You have to stop!”
“If you don’t want me calling her names, then tell her to avoid me and also, never bring such a lazy complain about her to me again. It makes me sick in the stomach”
“You are absolutely unbelievable!” I storm out of her living room and make my way to the dungeon.
I don’t know what Cassie has been feeding my mother with, but I’m going to make her stop.
I love my mother and I need her. I need her support in ruling this pack and having her turn against me because of Cassie is not something I can take in. I need to handle this issues before it gets out of hand.
As I draw closer to her cell, her pheromone fills my nostrils and I stop on my tracks and inhale deeply. As I walk closer, the scent become stronger and more tantalizing, causing all the hair on my body to stand erect.
I hate the fact that she affects me so much.
I hate the fact that I can still feel the mate bond trying to make me like her.
I hate the fact that I have to hate her!
When I arrive at her cell and my eyes fall on her, my heart does a series of summersaults. Her thick black hair looks absolutely gorgeous!
I clear my throat and put on my poker face as she raises her head up to look at me.
She can never know that she affects me this much.
“Here to reprimand me for talking rudely to you dearest Luna to be?” She asks as she rises from the floor and takes a few steps closer to the barred door.
“What exactly do you think you are doing?”
“Excuse me?”
“What did you say to my mum?”
“I told her she has such a good heart and that she has beautiful eyes too, just like yours. You should be grateful she passed on such beautiful genes to you” She says softly and I fight my urge to blush.
This girl will be the end of me.
I scoff and look up at her.
“Do I look like I’m in the mood to joke around with you?” I ask sternly.
“You look like you are trying to suppress a blush and a beautiful smile. It’s okay to smile and say thank you when someone compliments you. It’s called good manners”
“You crazy…” I close my mouth and give her a dangerous piercing gaze but the smile on her face does not fade away. “I need you stop filling my mother’s head with unnecessary stuff, stop trying to brainwash her”
“So pathetic to watch you say all this bullshit Elijah”
“It’s Alpha Elijah for you!” I scold with my Alpha voice but she doesn’t flinch. She just stands there and stare at me like nothing just happened.
“I will call you whatever I want.”
“You have a death wish, don’t you”
“Adorable how you and Ella say the same lines in the same situations. Admirable mate bond”
Now this girl is frustrating me big time.
I’m here to intimidate her and make her stop making things worse for me, but it appears she is the one intimidating me.
What the…
I turn on my heels and start to walk away to avoid any more intimidation.
“Alpha Elijah” She calls and I swiftly turn around to face her before I realize that I wasn’t supposed to do that.
“I want you to know that you are alive today because of me, I saved your entire pack from chaos, and I’m not in here because it’s your wish, but because I want to pay for my father’s sins. Also, I want you to pass on this information to Ella, the next time she shows up here, I will not refrain myself from ripping her head from her shoulders. Find something for her to do, she seems to be idling too much and that’s not good for a future Luna”
I swear, these words ring on my mind for the entire day!
Who exactly is this girl called Cassie?
CHAPTER SIXELIJAH’S POVI walk out of the dungeon premises, fuming in rage.Who the hell does Cassie think she is. First, her pheromone won’t let me think straight, the mate bond keeps pulling me to her and now, she just proved that she is a hard but to crack.I hate her.I hate her for challenging me and I’m going to make her suffer.I go over to my chambers to talk with Ella. I need to tell her to avoid going to see Cassie in that dungeon because I’m scared of what she(Cassie) might do to her(Ella).Cassie is an Alpha and if she gets a hold of Ella even once, she will rip her into pieces before anyone can come to her rescue, so she needs to be avoided.When I get into our bedroom, I see Ella comfortably seated on a couch in the sitting area, reading a magazine and I remember what Cassie said about getting something for her to do because she idles a lot.Ever since Ella got here, she hasn’
CHAPTER SEVEN ELIJAH'S POV Apologizing to Ella last night for my mother's behavior was not an easy task. She(Ella) was so mad that she didn't want to hear anything I had to say. I had to make a lot of promises before she even listened to me, but the most important thing is that we are fine now. I honestly don't know how to make peace between my mother and Ella. They are both the most important women in my life and right now, I badly need them to be united, but it seems to be a mission impossible. I honestly don't know what to do. Right now I'm in my office, signing paperwork and scheduling meetings for the week. Adapting to this hectic work was easy because while growing up, my father made sure I was by his side all the time in order to get versed with the way things were done around here. I always complained about not having e
CHAPTER EIGHTELIJAH'S POVI know better than to not release Cassie tonight. Mother will throw a Luna version of a crazy tantrum if I don't do that and that is the last thing I want to happen.I hate the situation I currently find myself in right now. Mother wants me to release Cassie and have her work as a maid instead, but Ella doesn't want her here at all. She (Ella) believes that Cassie's pheromone will have some influence over me, but I know myself and when I say it won't, it definitely won't!This is just a difficult phase and I'm going to overcome it.As I walk along the hallway in the dungeon leading to Cassie's cell, I know I'm getting closer when her pheromone hits my nostrils hard. I freeze on my tracks and take it all in with my eyes closed. It smells like Vanilla cream, mixed with strawberries. Its so captivating and right now, my legs want me to fly over to he
CHAPTER NINECASSIE'S POVI was released by nightfall as per Alpha Elijah's commands and taken to the servant quarters where I was shown my bedroom and given some clothes… Servant clothes if I may add.I had thought the Servants were going to be mean to me, but it turned out I was wrong. They were super nice and welcomed me with open arms.For the past three days, I have been serving as a servant and because everyone around me is so nice and humane, I don't even feel it.I noticed that the servants share rooms, but in my case, I don't share a room with anyone. The other servants told me Alpha Elijah's mother made the arrangements.
CHAPTER TENCASSIE'S POVI sadly walk into the kitchen where I meet other servants discussing. The excruciating pain in my left has me crying like a baby and the moment the others see me, they all rush over to me with concerned looks on their faces."Cassie, what happened?""Why are you crying?""Did the witch do anything to you?"They flood my head with questions and I just stare at them blankly. I don't even have the energy to talk."Step away from her" another voice commands and they all obey. I look and see our Servant supe
CHAPTER ELEVENCASSIE'S POVI was beyond shocked when news came in that Alpha Elijah had requested for me to take the day off because of my injury. I noticed his mood changed when he saw the burn on my hand, but I just didn't think he would react this way.I wonder if his fiancé knows about this.Now this only gives room for my stupid heart to start fantasizing about things that will never come to pass.I don't even know what I'm going to be doing all day, but I'm glad that I won't have to do any work with the pain I'm currently feeling right now.Soon, there is a knock on the room doo
CHAPTER TWELVEELLA'S POVI think I need to do more than just make Alpha Elijah hate Cassie more. I have to cross over to Luna Elvira's side. She seems to love Cassie very much and that's one of the reasons why she can't accept me into the family. If I can cause a scandal that will make her start to doubt Cassie, then I think I will be doing good for myself.I have to sabotage that friendship they have and I have figured out the perfect way to go about that.It's been a few days since the tea incident happened. No one is talking about it anymore and Cassie has resumed work. Now is the perfect time for me to cause another scandal.I walk into the closet, whe
CHAPTER THIRTEENELIJAH'S POVThis is the second time I'm going to see Cassie with the intention of scolding her, but end up not doing anything when I finally meet her.I don't know what always gets over me.One thing for sure is that she has a very fat mouth and everything that comes out of it always strikes the wrong nerve.Ella told me her bracelet was missing, I didn't think it was any cause for alarm because I thought it would be somewhere in the closet. But she said that she had searched for it all over and couldn’t find it.When she told me Cassie had been in the closet for a whole lot of hours organizing g our clothes, it still didn't ring on my mind that she(Cassie
