Elena I watched him leave, and I clenched my fist in anger. That arrogant bastard! To think I thought he was better than his father, they are just the same. How could he do this to me, how could he take away my only chance to avenge my parents? I am happy that dog Williams is dead, but I was angry I am not the one who did it. I wanted him to die by my hand. I wanted to look him in the eye as he took his last breath.He took that away from me, first, he takes advantage of me in my vulnerable moment then leaves in bed to go kill his father. He could have at least woken me up so that I can watch as he died. “I am sorry you feel this way, but our mate did not take advantage of us.” My wolf decides this was a good time to talk to me.“What do you mean by that? Do you think if I was in my right mind, I would have slept with him? Whose side are you on?” I asked my wolf one question after another. She was pissing me off. “I am on your side but let me ask you this, would you have preferred he
Elena After the talk I had with Martin, we had dinner in silence with both of us deep in thought, and when he went to bed; I offered to do the dishes. I just needed time alone to think. I did not know if I could trust Martin yet, if my alpha can betray me like that then who was Marin to be loyal to me? I am nothing to him and he owes me nothing.I might be his nephew’s mate, but he does not know me. So, what if he is setting me up? ‘He was sincere when he offered to help us.’ That he was but the important question is, can we trust him? I finished with the dishes and then still sat there thinking about all the members of my pack who lost their lives and my parents.My mate walks in, he looked exhausted. He sees me then frowns and my wolf whimpers. ‘He doesn’t want us.’ She says and I wish I can tell her she is wrong, but I cannot. “Your food is in the microwave; I can warm it for you if you would like.” I offered; I do not even know why I did that. He looked at me hesitating before no
Jake“Jake, wake up” I turned to the other side and continued to sleep. “Jake!” Trojan yells causing my head to hurt. “Go to sleep Trojan, we have a long day tomorrow.” I tell him then close my eyes trying to get more sleep. “There is something wrong with mate.” He says, and I feel irritated just by hearing that.Now a person cannot have peace because his mate is around, I did not even ask for this damned mate. “Is she dying?” that would be the only time I leave this bed to go check on her. “No, but I feel her destress, something is wrong?” Trojan tells me. “Then if she is not dying let me sleep, besides, what could be stressing her when she is supposed to be sleeping?” I asked letting my irritation show in my voice.“I can’t sense her in the house Jake.” He tells me, well, if she decided to go looking for trouble then that is not my problem. “Maybe she went for a walk, or a run and her distress has nothing to do with me.” I say then closed my eyes again trying to sleep more. “Your fa
Elena Martin did not have a problem with me joining training, I was so excited that it felt like he was taking longer finishing his breakfast. If it was not my first time going to train with these warriors, then I would have left Martin behind. He chuckled seeing me eyeing him again. “Training is not going anywhere Elena, relax and have coffee or something.” He tells me and I frown.I already had coffee; all I need now is to train. “I already had my breakfast.” I tell him and he just shrugs. His so annoying, can’t he just finish so we can go already? Finally, he finishes his last piece of toast and I stand up ready to go and he chuckles. “I didn’t say we can go,” he says with a raised eyebrow. “No need to sulk, we can go.” I jump out of my chair and head to the door.I hear him chuckling behind me, and I do not care. I just want to train; it has been so long. “I have never seen anyone who is eager to go get themselves beatings.” Martin says but I ignore him. If it were back, then I w
Jake I stood up the stairs and looked down as my uncle welcomed guests. The packhouse was nicely decorated and soft music played in the background. My pack members were nicely dressed in evening gowns and suits. They had genuine smiles on their faces, and nothing could please me more.But all that did not take away the anxiety I felt, I was about to meet all the alphas for the first time. I was not groomed like all the other alphas to take over, my father was not exactly a role model and he thought he was going to live longer, so he saw no reason to teach me how to be an alpha or introduce me to the others.How was he going to do that anyway when he did not get along with any of them? The only time John William was in the same space as another alpha was when he was attacking them. Now, how was I going to be introduced to them besides my father did not see me as his son but as something, he could play with whenever he felt like it.Elena’s alpha arrived, and I watched as he exchanged
Elena I felt sick walking behind Jake and Lucas. I had a bad feeling about whatever Lucas wanted to discuss. When I got to the hall, he was already waiting for me, or rather, his warriors were waiting for me. The same warriors I used to train with. Now that was not a problem, the problem was the level of respect they gave me, and they kept calling me Luna.Maybe my dear friend told them that I was Jake’s mate, at least that is what I thought until we got to Lucas. The man had a sickening smile on his face, and he was overly friendly with me. I thought he was pleased because William was dead but by the way; he was going on; I think there is more to it than that.I did not get to ask questions because Jake called me to the stage and introduced me as his mate to everyone, wiping the smile off Lucas’s face. The way he has been eager to talk to Jake made me think of the worst. We got to the third floor where Jake’s office was, and he opened the door letting Lucas and me in then closed it
Elena “I will warn you to refrain from talking about things you do not know, alpha.” I did not know where Martin came from, but he was now glaring at the alpha. “My personal issues with my mate have nothing to do with any of you. If you want to continue with the party, then you are welcome to do so. If not, you are welcome to leave.” Jake said with a calm but cold and commanding voice.Lucas sneered looking at my mate and I knew that what he was going to say next was going to set my mate off. “You are just like your cold-blooded killer father and that speech you gave us was nothing but a lie. You are taking my mate just like your father did.” I feel Jake shaking beside me then he took a few steps and closed the gap between him and Lucas.“Alpha Lucas, I have been in your pack since I was born. When I turned eighteen, I was at your pack, I never felt any connection with you that suggested we are mates. The only connection you and I have with each other is that of an alpha and subordin
JakeThis is not how I wanted this party to go. This was supposed to be a celebration of new beginnings for this pack and show the other packs that we are not the same pack we were under Williams's rule. But all that is ruined now because of that Lucas and Elena. “Remind me again Trojan, why is that woman still here?” I asked my wolf in a sarcastic manner.“She is here because she is our mate, and we want her here.” Right! It’s not like I expected an answer but there it is. I was going to let her go back to her pack after the party but after what her alpha said I kept her. She is my mate after all and is supposed to be by my side. Whatever that means.With her, by my side on that stage, everything felt right, like it was meant to be that way. I also, noticed that the alphas did not bring their mates to the celebrations, and that tells me that they expected to have a different outcome. Maybe they thought it was all a trap. I would have thought something if I were in their shoes.My pac
