~ Elvira ~

If you want to know what it feels like right before a hurricane hits, you should visit the Silverblade kitchen on the morning of a Selection.

By five in the morning, the air was already filled with the smell of tenderly cooked meat, rosemary, and baked food.

My feet were aching before the sun had even cleared off the trees.

“Move it, Elvira! Those dishes aren’t going to garnish themselves!” Silas barked, looking just as exhausted as I was, his apron covered in flour, juggling

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Duty at the ball…

    ~Elvira POV~I finished packing the last of the fresh fruit and the wrapped dishes Uncle Silas had sent from the kitchen into my refrigerator.“This should last us a few weeks until payday,” I murmured, trying to smile even as nervousness and anxiety coiled in my veins...Today was the day. The annual party. He would finally be here. After all these months, I might come face to face with the man I had escaped. How would he react? Would he cause a scene in front of everyone?I had originally hoped for a free day…maybe even the chance to wear a beautiful gown and move through the crowd unnoticed…instead, Unit Commander Manson had assigned me to security…I dressed in the black suit and fitted slacks, slipped the earpiece and my warrior ID into my pocket, and pulled my hair into a tight ponytail…then left the safety of my apartment and headed to the briefing.By the time I arrived, most of the security team was already present…thirty of us dressed head to toe in black, looking more l

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Secret sources…

    ~Vanessa~“Alpha Roland,” I called as I stepped into the office. Inside, Alpha Roland and Beta Stephen were bent over an open box filled with security cameras… the packing labels were familiar…Silverblade….Exactly the secret shipment I had arranged through one of my remaining contacts...“Yes, Vanessa, come in.” He replied. “I must say, you’re finally going to prove your worth… after we were generous enough to take you into this pack.”My fingers twitched with the urge to slap that expression right off his face… but I swallowed the impulse…I wouldn’t dare. Every time that selfish mouth of his opened, nothing but arrogance and insults spilled out…How this man had ever become Alpha of Rivermoon Pack still baffled me…most likely the title had simply been handed down from his father, in the month I had to live under his roof, one truth had was clear…he was an unfit ruler…grumpy, selfish, extremely rude, and everything Gabriel was not.Gabriel Grayson.My man.He should have been my

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Something odd…

    ~Elvira~I shook my head quickly, forcing the sickness down, and managed a tight smile. “I’m fine.”He didn’t believe me. His eyes moved to the watching junior cooks and maids.“Back to your duties!” he barked and they scattered at once.“I’m starving. Any food?” I asked, trying to sound normal.“Of course. Come sit.” He gestured to our usual table and set a plate of beef stew and warm bread pie in front of me. “Congratulations on the new job, by the way. I’m proud of you, Elvira.”“Thank you.”“How was the first day? I heard you moved out of the mansion. You doing okay? Need some takeaways?”“Oh, Silas, yes…please. Takeaways would be perfect. Work is… fine. Not bad.” I shrugged.“Good. I’ll pack you several dishes before you leave. And don’t overexert yourself. Rest when you’re tired. You’re always welcome to eat here.” He patted my shoulder and returned to the cookers, already barking new orders.I looked around for Aria but couldn’t find her.“Where’s Aria?”Silas wiped his hands

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Work rumors…Taking the chance!

    ~Elvira~“Come over here for a second. I need to show you something,” Derek said, motioning with his hand.I followed him back into the monitor room. The air inside was cooler, filled with the low hum of servers and the soft glow of multiple screens. He stopped at one of the computers, typed in a code, then turned to face me.“There’s an important shipment scheduled to leave soon. It’s being organized right now. The receiving pack is one of Alpha Gabriel’s strongest allies. Would you like to oversee it?” He looked up from his tablet, waiting.“Ummm… is that allowed? I’m still new and not completely familiar with everything yet…”“It’s fine. I can get you in on it.” He shrugged. “I just need you to swipe your badge here to confirm you’ll be part of the warrior team in charge of the shipment.”My eyes widened. Swipe my badge? Shouldn’t Team Leader Manson be the one assigning major tasks like this? Didn’t I need his approval first? This felt too serious to be offered so casually on

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    From mistress to warrior…

    ~Elvira~ She looked at my face. “Who is he going to choose next? That’s all I meant. Come on, Elvira. It was Vanessa for a while, then you. Now that you’ve ended it, he’ll find someone else. That’s just how it is with him.” “Is that how he is?” I asked forcing my voice to stay calm even as something ugly twisted in my chest. “Yes. Even before you came he used to having a mistress….The males… it’s their way…they don’t really notice or care. They’re warriors, Elvira. He’s an Alpha male.” “Oh.” I muttered…It was the only word I could manage to say. I could feel the jealousy warring inside me…i remembered the way some of the she-wolves had fought over Kelvin before….so it’s their way of life... ‘It’s his life,’ I told myself. ‘He can do whatever he wants. I don’t care.’ Another knock sounded at the door. “They’re here to help you move,” Aria said, lifting the bag again. I followed her and found five maids waiting with empty boxes… they nodded then went straight to m

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Let me go!…

    ~Elvira~ They fought with mine for dominance. I felt his hands curl over my body possessively as he dragged me toward his table, never breaking the kiss. He lifted one of my legs and wrapped it around his waist… the moment his hot palms slid under my dress and pressed on bare my stomach, reality came crashing back into me… I broke the kiss with force. A frustrated groan tore from his throat… he reached for my chin, tried to pull me back in, but I turned my face away… “What’s wrong?” He asked in a voice thick with desire. I looked into his eyes and found them glowing pure gold….Bane was at the surface. Inside me, Val grumbled restlessly, pushing hard on my control, urging me to give in and let us have what they both clearly wanted. No, Val, I told her. I’ve decided. This ends now. “Elvira, come on.” Gabriel tugged my chin again, then lowered his mouth to my neck and shoulders, sucking on softly... Pleasure bloomed in my belly…My body softened traitorously under

    ~Elvira~ The walk to the mansion was silent. I kept my eyes down, but noticed high sensory cameras tucked into the oak branches, their red lights blinking. Silverblade had a massive security network. The pack house was a large mansion of marble and white stone, beautiful but intimidating.

    ~Elvira~ ~Present~ The cell door hissed shut behind me, the locking mechanism echoing down all the way down, after the chill of the cell, I felt completely weak, my muscles trembling, my legs buckled, so I dropped my hands to my knees to keep from fainting. "What do you think you're doing?" a

    ~ Elvira~ "I’m Lisa, and that handsome giant over there is my brother, Carson," Lisa said, her voice sounded bright and eager. She pointed toward the door where a tall, blonde guy stood. He was 6'1", with lean, functional muscle. He gave me a sheepish smile, his bright blue eyes filled with a
