Elena's POV
I could not help the look of shock that spread across my face at those words. He was sorry? I was gripped with uncertainty but I had to shake it off. He must have come back to his senses. I was about speaking when Alpha North's laughter filled the room.
“Do you think I will apologize to you? Are you that delusional? I never loved or cared for you and I will never do. Those were all part of my ploy, Elena. I just used you for the time being, because you seemed like the easiest and I wanted to see how far I could go until I break you. I knew I had the opportunity and in fact I would let Liela to do so” he said, emphasizing each word with his cold tone.
I couldn't just believe this is North.
“This isn't you North. Please stop doing this North this isn't you” I said
I was trying as hard as I could not to believe what he just said and I'm trying to convince myself it isn't him saying all these things.
I couldn't even complete my words when Alpha North stepped closer towards me, his eyes cold as it stared into my eyes. I shook in fright as I stepped back. He didn't stop. He enjoyed seeing the look of fear in my eyes. He was thriving with it.
My back hit the wall and he clutches my neck, pressing it hard. The tray in my hand fell as I struggled for breath, clutching at his hand to set me free but his fingers were firm around my neck.
“Please…. North, I'm carrying your child please, our child,” I said with struggled breath
“My child? Do you think I care about that child? I don't care if you lose it this instant. That child means nothing to me” he said
My heart dropped hearing his words. I can't believe he was saying all these things to me. He let go of my neck and I bent over, placing my hand on my chest to get in air into my lungs. He pointes towards the broken glass on the floor.
“Step on it,” he instructed.
I should step on it? Why? No, I can't do it.
“I can't do it” I said, as tears escaped my eyelids streaming down my cheeks
“Maybe you'll prefer silver chains then” he said, about to call the guards once again.
I moved towards where the broken glasses and stepped on it, feeling the sharp edges of the glass pierce into my feet. I winced in pain but Alpha North didn't care. Once I was done, I stood to throw side. Waiting for his next command.
I was done fighting. I would not win. Alpha North, Leila and even the pack was against me all for the single fact that I was wolfless. If I fought, I would only be broken the more.
“Pick up the glasses” he instructed. “With your mouth” he added. I stared at him in horror but I said nothing, bending over and trying my best to ignore the pain on my feet. I shook with each glass I took.
The sharp edges pricked my lips but I could do nothing about it. Once all was on the tray, I stood.
“You can leave” he said to me
I couldn't believe Alpha North was the one torturing me this way. I left the room, moving through the hallway when I was pulled by the arm by Liela, I was pushed to the ground. My head hitting the table at the side and I blacked out immediately.
Elena's POV"You."Alongside the words that escaped her lips, I watched her walk close towards me, her face sneered with a disdainful look and contempt not missing out. I swallowed hard, praying silently to the goddess that she wasn't going to decree a death sentence on me.Well, I should have known that the goddess had suddenly gone deaf to my request. Instead, I received a slicing slap to my cheeks, burning like hot coal that had been pressed against my bare flesh."What did you do to him? You planned to have him killed right? That was why you poisoned him." She went on saying, I fixed myself back up to look at her so I could defend myself even if I knew deep down that it was going to mean me experiencing something worse than a slap."No. I didn't poison him." I summoned the courage to speak, the tears from the sting of slap I had received, burning in my eyes."You can check the study. You won't find anything of that sort. He just slumped. I don't know what happened to him. Please b
Alpha North's POV I wasn't supposed to be surprised at the fact that Leila was not home yet. After all, she had suddenly taken it up as a habit. She would always leave the house all in the name of hanging out with friends. I didn't want to suspect that there was something going on. Neither did I want to think too hard about it because it was beginning to glare hard enough. Probably if she had been doing all these without missing out on her duties to her alpha, I wouldn't be bothered about it. After the maid servant had informed me of her whereabouts, I had to force the lunch through to my mouth, and to even digest properly. When I was done, I found my way to the study to clear the annoying thoughts off my head. I would have picked up my favorite book which was history. However, I was pushed to read something else. And that was when my eyes caught sight of a lone book sitting at the end of the shelf. First things first, I wondered why the book was separated from the others and plac
Alpha Elian's POVOlivia ended up leaving the house angrily. And I was not dumb not to know why she had done that. To her, I had made a fool out of her in the presence of a maid by refusing her order in the first place. As much as I was foolish for audibly trying to save Elena from Olivia's wrath, it didn't change the fact that I was happy. Elena had saved me from another moment of being sexually forced into doing what I wasn't ready to do.As crazy as it might sound, I wished and prayed that I could stay a virgin alpha until I found her - the right one because I didn't believe Olivia was my mate even if I sometimes felt the mate bond.She was beautiful, smart and of course strong. But then, she wasn't the kind of woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was only with her because the lords of our pack wanted it. Or else, my throne and position as an alpha would be given to the next lineage.Either way, the only hope I had was Finding her. The one who was supposed to be on
North's POVEverywhere was dark except for the ray of moonlight that shone brightly no one spot. It was as though it was waiting for someone to get into the limelight.I couldn't see where I was dipping my feet into. But the thickness and rustling sound made me believe I was one grassland. The question now was what was I doing outside my house? Either way, I kept walking and moving forward like I knew my destination. However my goal was to get myself to stand right under the moon. Probably something could happen. I could get answered to if what was happening and where I was was real or not.Just when I was a few meters close enough the moonlight, something stranger happened. I suddenly got stuck to the ground unable to move. I could feel it to tell that I wasn't tied down by any thing or anyone. It was just my legs getting stuck like it had been glued to the grass and I was forced not to make a move.I struggled with getting myself free on and on, However it was all a failed effort b
Elena's POVOf course. I should have known that the alpha wasn't going to let his relationship be ruined because of a mere maid like me. How could he agree to his mate's bond getting severed because of me? Now, I was still scrubbing the second stairs leading to the upper room of the second living room. I knew that Olivia wanted to push me badly for walking in on her and the alpha making out and putting a stop to it. However, it was just too absurd that she had to make me clean the rooms of the previous alpha and Luna, the parents of alpha Elian. It was even more bad because I had not rated anything since that morning of the incident up until this moment during lunchtime. Not even water to taste. What was even more painful was how I still had every room in the mansion to clean and mop as well as the garden. Olivia has made sure no one was going to save me from doing all the job which should have been shared amongst all maids. Today, I ended up saving every maid from working. The
Elena's POV“You!” The alpha mate yelled and hurriedly stood up from lying on Elian. I was too frozen to even think of making a move. I watched her walk close enough to me until she was already standing right in front of me. “How dare you step in without knocking?!” The next action that followed after her words was that I received from the furious alpha's mate was a resounding slap that made me stagger backwards. I shut my eyes and winced in pain at the sting of her action on my face. My cheeks burned, my heart couldn't stay stable even for a second. “Olivia.” I heard Alpha Elian call. Olivia? That was her name? I looked back up to face them but bowed my head in response. In the process of doing that, I caught a quick sight of the Alpha putting back on his shirt and zipping up his trousers. Olivia, his mate, still had her shirt half opened, revealing a part of her breasts, and an unbuttoned bra. Even when I eventually looked down and couldn't look up to her, I could still fe
