Elena
“I don’t belong to you.”
I must be stupid. A recessive omega rejecting a high ranking Alpha, and most of all, the Pack Leader who is known to be ruthless, but here I am, still in his tight hold, even with his dark brown eyes staring down at me as if to tell me ‘I’m done for’, I still speak against him.
My heart thumped loudly in my chest, and my inner wolf claws at me to accept him, but that will make me more stupid. How can I accept chaos in my life? I am almost close to having the perfect life, the one that I had always dreamt of, yet this has come to ruin it all, and the moon goddess expects me to spread my arms open and just accept it?
“Pardon me, but I have a mate already,” I say coldly, pressing my hands against his arms as I try to push myself away, only for me to be slammed against his chest more, as if he wants to get into me.
“Did you not hear what I said?”
His cold voice with his touch sends an electric current through my veins, a feeling I try to ignore as I struggle to release myself from his hold.
“I don’t care who that other mate of yours is, but you are not returning to them,”
“Let me go,” I snarl in annoyance, but instead, he chuckles, and it kicks a bucket of anger within me. Is he having fun right now? Seeing the control he has over me must be thrilling for him.
“It’s only been a few hours, yet I can’t stop thinking about how your skin felt under mine. You left me at the hospital yesterday, and I wasn’t pleased, so I summoned you here for a simple talk. But it seems I don’t have to request for you to be mine anymore, the moon goddess must have found us compatible after our encounter last night, perhaps she has realized I am the right one for you.” He snickers.
I wanted to be polite at first given that he’s the Leader of Blood Moon Pack, one of the greatest yet shittiest pack where discrimination can as well be their last name.
Yes, I have always hated this pack. After everything I have been through, after all I have heard, I can never bring myself to like any feature of the pack, even if they are one of the greatest packs in Russia, I still loathe it. Which is why I was excited when I learnt my mate was from another pack, a pack with fewer members, a low-ranking pack, but filled with loving people, but now I am being shoved by the moon goddess to the Pack Leader, one I am barely interested about his name.
I still do fear for my life, but what is the point of living if it has to be with this narcistic Dominant Alpha.
“I don’t want to be with you, so let me go,” I say with gritted teeth, and his expression changed, his eyes darkened, and in the blink of my own eyes, I am slammed against the wall.
We are in a large, spaced room, and I cannot tell if it is a living room or an exhibition space, and I am surprised how quick he is to slam me against the wall.
One minute we are in the center of the large, spaced room, and the next minute I am against the wall with his hands tightly wrapped around my throat while I struggle to breathe.
“Do I need to remind you that I am not just your alpha as a mate, but also your alpha as the leader of this pack?” He growls.
“How can a recessive omega have a choice? You are to thank the moon goddess that you are fated to be with me, do you know how many of your kind are trying to lick my feet?”
His words hurt, it hurts more than I wanted it to.
I’ve heard so many people say this, but it never hurt this way, I never felt this disappointed. And now I hate that his words are getting to me, I hate that I feel such an emotion for him, all because he’s my mate.
“S-stop,” I choke out, but he squeezes harder, and I’m almost certain I would die in his hands today.
“You are going to listen to me. You. are. Mine. And if you don’t want your family or any of your loved ones to suffer and pay for your stubbornness, you better behave well for me.”
My heart throbs in my chest, and I suddenly prefer him choking me while he speaks, at least it can be a great excuse for letting out the tears growing at the back of my eyes rather than admitting I’m hurt by his words.
“I would rather die than be with you,” I spit through gritted teeth, and he smirks as if enjoying my fight.
“Dead corpse don’t bother me, I can fuck you anyway, dead or alive” He mutters.
How can a living being, one with a heart, say such? How can he think such? Now I understand why he’s rumored as the psychopathic alpha, he must be sick in his brain.
The hand around my throat is released just when everywhere is beginning to turn white. My knees buckle and my legs give up on me, leaving me to fall to the ground while I cough and gasp for air.
“Pardon my bad manners, let’s start with an introduction. Even if you know about me, it’s only right I introduce myself as a gentleman,” He drawls and I am in disbelief. He certainly can’t be in the same sentence with ‘a gentleman’, he's far from that.
“Mikhail Sokolov, the Leader of the Blood Moon Pack. I’m sure you are not in your right mind to introduce yourself, thankfully, your data is on my desk and it was a pleasure getting to know about you…”
His words sink into my skin, and my chest tightens at the fact I am truly mated to this monster, a stalker, a psychopath.
I lock my gaze on him, my head unmoving, pain flickering in my eyes.
“...Elena”
The psychopath really stalked me just after a few hours. Could this be my karma for saving him last night? If I had not sneaked to the forest to meet my fiancé, I wouldn't have met him. Could this be karma for disobeying my mother and planning to marry and run off with the Beta they loathed?
“What do you want from me?”
He certainly cannot just want to be with me, for a psychopathic Alpha, there must be something more that’s making him this possessive over a mere recessive omega.
He smirks at my question and walks over to one of the couches, a distance away from me, a smirk proudly plastered on his face.
“Good question, now where shall we start from?”
MikhailI had walked out of Elena’s room last night. I feared what I might do to her. Every goddamn time I’m trying to be good to her, she always finds a way to piss me off. I have my reasons for not giving my daughter a name. I can’t imagine the disaster that will occur when she’s registered and everyone discovers that she’s my daughter. I can’t bring out my vulnerable side to the world. Besides, the sicko is still out there; she won’t miss a chance to cause a scene. “Sir, your flight has been booked, and the meeting has been arranged.” A list is passed on to me from my secretary, Lizzy. “They all agreed to attend,” She continues while I flip through the pages of the list of officials in the targetted countries. Of course, I can’t jump right into meeting with their president and getting them to join hands with us again. But this alone is a huge step to getting what I want. “Wait, why is there an extra member?” I squint my eyes at the familiar name at the bottom of the list. Dari
ElenaTucking in honey–Esther to bed was quite easy, I didn’t have to sing lullabies and all. She does seem a little mature for her age, but then kids are unpredicatable, they can be scary at times. “She’s asleep?” My heart skipped a beat at Mikhail’s voice. I flinch and almost stagger, but I hope he didn’t notice. He did. With the way he tilts his head, squinting his eyes as if to ask, ‘Am I okay?’ “Yeah, she is,” I respond, trying my hardest not to stutter while I shift my gaze away from him. “And you…Are you fine, now?” I’m not, but I don’t want to bring up any discussion that has the possibility of leading me into blurting my conflicts and emotions. “Uhh…About Es-I mean honey bear…” “Is there a problem? Is she sick?” Mikhail questions about to walk past me to the sleeping child's room. I block him off. “She’s fine,” And now, I realize how close we are, so I jump back on impulse. He may perceive my reaction as dramatic and sketchy, but being close to him now that I have r
Elena “I’ve been looking for you,” I rush up to the little girl seated on the black stallion. Her eyes are wide, flabbergasted by the sight of me. She jumps down and meets me halfway, her wide eyes now sparkling with excitement as she throws herself at me. “I thought you would leave again,”My arms around her, a little taken aback by her statement, but then I recalled the last time I left, I had a fight with Mikhail, and he chased me away. She must have thought the same. Goodness, I feel more guilty now. “I’m not leaving,” I pull her gently, squatting to her height to have a better look at her. Her eyes are glassy with tears, her cheeks pink as her pout quivers. I still don’t understand why and how she got attached to me, when I’m not even her mother. “Don’t cry,” I stroke her cheeks, trying to assure her with my smile, but it doesn’t seem to be working. “Okay, how about this, I promise not to leave without letting you know first,” I begin, pulling out my pinky to portray since
Elena Two days had passed, and I’ve been rotting in my room. Daniela had been the only one coming in and out of my room. I haven’t seen little honey bear for the past two days. I feel guilty locking her out. Daniela doesn’t have to tell me, but she has been roaming around the hallways, trying to peep into my room. I actually expected her to walk in with Daniela last night, but she only shot me a small smile and walked down the stairs. Ugh, I feel so selfish. I reluctantly get off the bed and twist the doorknob, ready to step out. But then, I recall the reason I’ve kept myself locked in, and I quickly retreat as though the other side of the door holds my nightmare. Mikhail is my worst nightmare; falling for him doesn’t make it any better. It just makes me dread myself more. How long do I plan to hide? This is his house; if he gets fed up with my hiding away, he can burst in and make a scene. I release a long sigh, reaching for the doorknob again. At least I should do this for lit
Elena It’s hard for me to face him. Even after hearing his apology, the tightness in my chest doesn’t seize. It aches more hearing his voice. I just can’t stop thinking about how he acted out on me. He has done such several times before but…It hurts worse now, and I hate it more that I am pained by his actions. All I wanted was for him to say he did all that because he was scared for me, protecting me. Fine, I was being stubborn and letting my pride get over me, but still, it shouldn’t have pushed him into treating me like an unwanted, useless being. Goddess, if I should open my eyes anytime soon, I will break down in tears. Those early hours of brutality from him keeps ringing in my head and I just need space and time to think, even more; to disassoiciate myself from any developing feelings. I don’t know when it all began, when Mikhail’s hurtful words led my heart breaking with disappointment alongside, instead of just pain and anger. There’s Ezekiel, I should love Ezekiel. He’
MikhailThe meeting has been adjourned, I have nothing more to discuss with any of them, so I stand to my feet to leave, only to be stopped. “Mr. Sokolov, don’t you owe me a private chat?” President Schwoz states with a casual tone, still seated on his chair, while the rest of the officials are flooding outside, gossiping about how their plans did not work. They all expected to get rid of me, like they did to my father. That’s crazy. Thinking they can repeat the same bullshit. I turn back to Schwoz with a forced smile on my face. “I’ve said all I want, you’ve approved, I don’t think an extra chat would change anything.” Can this fucking end? I need to see her, to plead for her forgiveness. Fuck, it feels as if the more time passes, the more I lose my chance to get her to forgive me. Schwoz gets to his feet, approaching me with calculated steps. I still can’t understand how he’s keeping his features. A man who is approaching his late sixties, yet looks as though he’s in his early f
