~ Elvira ~

I stood in the middle of the old armory where we had our previous secret training, my legs were shaking as I tried to hold the squat position Noella forced me into.

My muscles were screaming, but every time I thought about quitting, I remembered Gabriel’s cold eyes and the way he’d called me a rogue from the gutter.

"Lower, Elvira! If a warrior lunges at you, you cannot stand tall like a sunflower. You have to hold your ground!" Noella barked.

She was not being the fun friend

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Calmed my beast...

    ~Gabriel~I tore out of the security building, bathed in rage.I ran through the hallways of the pack mansion. Pack members threw themselves against the walls when they saw me, they covered their necks and bowed their heads. I ignored them all. I didn't care about looking like a rational leader. I only cared about finding the dark road outside. I only cared about the emptiness in my chest and the concern about Elvira.I reached the entrance, guarded by two elite warriors.They dropped to their knees the second I stepped into the light."Open the doors," my voice came out as a snarl, "Alpha, Beta Cole ordered a lockdown.." one guard started to say, his hands visibly shaking. I lunged forward, grabbed table resting in the wall, hurled it at the wall in anger. The wood exploded into splinters, I stood watching the wreckage, my chest heaving. The wolf inside me was thrashing, desperate to break out fully and tear the forest apart until we found her. I was losing my mind. This was

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Did she run away?...

    ~Gabriel~The moment the sun dipped below the tree line, an unease settled deep in my chest. Bane was restless…I stood by the window in my office, watching the dark shadows stretch across the training grounds. The packhouse was usually loud at this hour, filled with the sounds of returning patrols and dinner preparations. But all I could focus on was the deafening silence in my own mind.I couldn't feel Elvira like I normally do since after her attack. After her near death experience I made sure to be conscious of her presence in my mind at all times.Earlier this evening, I had walked past the kitchen expecting to see her sitting there with her friends. When she wasn't there, I checked the training fields. Empty. I asked the guards at the west wing. Where is she? Bane growled, pacing violently in the back of my mind. His claws scraped against my mental walls, making my head pound. ‘Her scent is fading from the borders. Find her!’I dragged a hand down my face, trying to push my

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    A gift... when control snaps...

    ~Elvira~ After a full day's training with warrior trainees the next day, my body finally gave out. I woke up with fire in my joints. Every muscle in my arms and legs screamed in protest when I tried to sit up. The adrenaline and zeal of the past few days was gone, leaving behind a deep aching fatigue. I had to tell Rhys after training that our evening session would be cancelled, I couldn't even throw a single punch if my life depended on it. After a quick shower when I got home I dragged myself down to the kitchen, hoping for quiet time and food, anything at this point that can rebuild my energy. I found Lisa sitting at the table, Silas was just busy moving around preparing for night dinner for the pack members who lived in the pack Mansion. “Hey I greeted Lisa, “What are you doing here?” I asked her as I looked around. She was just sitting alone watching the kitchen staff run around as Silas barked at the junior cooks. "You look terrible," Lisa chimed, offering a

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    The strange box and his Jealousy...

    ~Elvira~"It scares me," he confessed, watching my lips.The air around us stilled. The crickets in the grass went quiet. He leaned closer, the heat coming from his chest wrapped around the chill in my bones. I held my breath, the scent of forest and rain washing over me, his eyes glowed still locked on my. I took in a sharp breath feeling my body soften as I got aroused by his closeness and heat. But the moment the space between us almost cleared, a muscle flickered along his jaw…he pulled back, the vulnerability in his eyes slammed shut, replaced by the guarded Alpha I knew."We should head back," he muttered, standing up and brushing the dirt from his dark slacks.My chest tightened. Pressure settled in my stomach. I didn't reach for him or demand answers. ‘He just poured out the deepest trauma of his life,’ I reminded myself. ‘He watched his parents die because of a mate bond. I can't expect him to just dive into this. It would not be easy, though it hasn't been since the ma

    ~Elivira~I watched him closely. He looked calm, his dark hair still wet from a recent shower, which made me wonder if he was secretly feeling the weight of Venessa's betrayal and simply needed someone safe to talk to."Okay, let's go," I responded, pushing my doubts aside.We left the confines of the Alpha wing, stepping out into the pack courtyards before walking deep into the forest, our footsteps silent on the earth until we stopped by the edge of a small lake."Are you going to miss her?" I asked as we sat down on the cool ground, the drop in temperature matched the shift in our conversation. The stars were all out tonight, covering the sky like twinkling diamonds, reflecting on the dark water before us."Venessa?" he asked, as if the name itself was difficult to speak out.I nodded, turning my gaze away to look at the lake because looking at his handsome face made it too difficult to maintain my emotional distance."I had no feelings for her. She was just my mistress," he state

  • Beyond Chosen: The Alpha's Fated Mate    Night of bonding...

    ~Elvira~"Where do you guys think she'll go?" I asked, sipping the wine in an attempt to shatter the quiet settling over the room.The entire kitchen remained hushed, as though the reality of the trial had left everyone consumed by their own grim thoughts."Are you kidding me right now, Elvira? Is that what you're thinking about?" Neolla asked, shifting in her chair to fix me with a defensive glare."I'm just curious, it's not deep," I replied. Aria's made a jerk of her arm causing her to almost spill her drink across the table, the abrupt motion forced everyone to sit up straighter, breaking the tension holding us hostage. "Are you okay?" I asked, looking directly at her.She blushed, her face turning red before she stood up immediately. "Uuhh, I am feeling sleepy. I need to clock in. Good night," she uttered in a rush, maneuvering around the chairs to make an exit.Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Cole standing by the kitchen door, his back turning away from us so

    ~Elvira~ “I’m afraid the Council of Elders will call for a meeting,” Neolla said, as she sat on the edge of my bed. She wouldn't look me in the eye, but her fingers were nervously picking at a loose thread on her sleeve. “They would want to know why Gabriel hasn't punished you yet.” “Then

    ~Elvira~ The door behind her suddenly buckled. "Elvira! Don't!" The wood groaned with a bang and then shattered as Gabriel barged in. Behind him stood a woman who had the same eyes as his, Must be his Grandmother the Matriarch, and a younger woman in dark, flowing robes with eyes that se

    ~Gabriel ~ "I’m sorry," she whispered, her voice cracking. "I didn't mean to... run so far." I didn't answer. I picked her up instead, her light weight a mockery of the power she held over me that she had no idea of, I carried her to meet her friends waiting on outskirts the forest very clos

    ~Gabriel~ I shifted in the sheets, feeling a warmth beside me that wasn't just my own. I looked over, and there she was. Elvira. Her long brown hair was a beautiful mess against the white pillows, a reminder of the night we shared. She looked so soft like this, peaceful, quiet, and com
