“You are joking, right?” I said, my voice trembling as I wished that she was joking. I didn't want to believe that she meant what she said. “I’m pregnant for Lucien. We love ourselves, so please let us be!” Diana repeated, her voice raising a bit, but all I did was laugh dryly. I knew she had to be joking. This had to be it. This had to be like the other days we would play and tease one another. It had to be all for fun. Because if not, how the hell then did my only sister end up pregnant for my lover? When and how did that happen? “Tell me you are joking, please.” I pleaded, tears starting to well up in my eyes. My legs were starting to lose control of themselves. I could feel my world crumbling down. My body was visibly shaking. My hands twitched and moved in their way. “This isn't a joke, little sister. Lucien and I love each other.” She informed, her voice firm and cool. She didn't look bothered or remorseful. Neither did she sound like she hated herself. For someone who claimed to be my Elder sister, she sure did the most. But was it weird that I still refused to believe her? Was it weird that I refused to believe that the only Wolves I had in my life would betray me in such a way? That the only family I had, the only sister I had, would try to stab me in the back in such an unbearable way. I felt my heart swelling. My blood started to pump so fast. Everything was getting fuzzy and unclear as I tried to keep the tears from dripping down my face, but it was useless. I couldn't control my pain. I turned my eyes to look in Lucien’s direction. He stood there mute, not saying a word or contributing to my sister's words. I stepped closer to him, my feet getting heavy with each step, as I sniffed back the catarrh I had in my nose. “Lucien! Please tell me she is lying.” I pleaded, my voice pointing out my desperation. My hands held onto his shirt. He didn’t say a word and looked away instead, avoiding my eyes. My heart wrenched and ached a lot. I felt an excruciating pain jot through my body as his silence grew. My heart thumped so loudly that I feared I might lose my life if it was to go at any more speed. “Please.” I pleaded again, this time my voice low and almost inaudible. I had no one. Our parents died when we were just kids, and ever since then, we have tried to survive in the cruel big world. Hunting and doing all we could to survive. Diana would go miles to see a smile on my face and watch me eat. She had always been a Mother figure to me. So when I was asked to stay in the palace with him, I knew I had to bring her along. Lucien and I met in very strange circumstances. He had rescued me from the hands of the villagers, who mistook me for a thief who stole most of their things. I was about to be beaten to a pulp when he showed up and rescued me. I could hear my heart thumb so loudly as I watched him talk, watched him defend me. He was the first Wolf to stand up for me, so when he told me that he liked me after years of friendship, I knew I had to reciprocate too. He did not just stand up for me, and he fed us too. That was all I could do to repay his kindness. I started at him now with tears, holding onto his cloth. I wondered where that sweet soul I once knew had gone. That soul that would never want to watch me cry. “Lucien,” I called softly, my strength failing me. I was getting weaker and weaker by the minute. “Let him be!” I heard Diana say and launched forward to slap my hands away from his cloth. Alpha Lucien looked up to stare me in the eyes. “It's true, Eleanor. I love your sister, and she is carrying my baby. The heir to the throne.” He informed. His voice was cold and without emotions, as though he had just announced his newest cloth collection to me. He was expecting me to take it in cool and accept it. “But that's impossible. How...How...” My voice trailed off as more tears streamed down. Sobs escaped my mouth softly. “We have been dating for two years now.” He informed, his words piercing my heart like a sharp-edged dagger. Two years! It echoed in my ears. We have been together for three years and...Does that mean that they have been together all along? Having sex right under my nostrils?
On days that we would all go out together. Did that mean that they mocked me like I was the fool amongst them? Did they make little jokes about me? Maybe kissed behind my back or a quickie. Who else knew this? The big question was, how did I not notice? How blind was I not to? I wondered, more tears streaming down my already wet face.“Exit the kingdom before the next sunrise. You threaten Diana, so I don't want you around.” He said harshly and stepped away before I could respond.
I! A threat! How! Diana stepped closer to me, enough to whisper. “He is my mate!” Diana snapped, her hands curled up on her stomach. Were they mates? How? Truly the moon goddess never told me Lucien was my mate, but how long did they know this? How long did they both play me? My sister and my only best friend. I watched her back turn towards me as she walked away. My legs lost their balance, and I fell right on the floor. My butt landed hard on the ground, sending pain jotting through me. But it was nothing compared to the pain I felt in my heart. **** It was a week since I left the palace and came out here to live in the woods among dangerous and wild animals. I had walked far into the woods, far from where I could glimpse the kingdom. Yes, they never banished me. But I knew living amongst the wolves after what happened to me would only cost me my sanity. I would have to deal with their side whispers whenever I walked past them. I would have to deal with watching my sister and Lucien walk together hand in hand. I doubted that I could handle that much. I knew I preferred being out here.It was like their betrayal had cost me my heart because I wasn't scared of what might happen to me out here.
I wasn't scared to die. I wasn't scared to live. I wasn't scared to exist. The last of the fruit I survived on finished hours ago, I mean some very long hours ago. I couldn't hunt for food. I wasn't skilled enough to kill the animals in this wood. Diana had always been the skilled one, and I had been comfortable with that up until this point. Sitting here, my back against the mango tree, all I could think about was where things had gone wrong. When and how things had gone awry, and I didn't know. How could I not have noticed them falling in love? How? I wondered. I could feel myself getting weaker. I could hear my stomach rumbling hard, begging for food or anything to munch on. But I couldn't stand up. I couldn't get up from where I was because I was too tired. Grummm! My stomach rumbled again, this time coming with a slight pain. I gathered all my strength and struggled to get up, finally standing on my weak, feeble two legs. I took the step one at a time, carefully, so I wouldn't trip and fall on my face. It was as though my legs had disconnected themselves from my body because it felt heavy yet weak. I let out another shaky breath as I took another step. Suddenly my head reeled, the whole world turning and moving so fast. I felt myself losing all ounces of strength faster this time. My legs gave out again, causing me to land flat on the floor. My head hurt, and my vision got blurry as I drifted away. Everything was getting blank.AUTHOR’S POVEleanor held her baby cot as she watched the little Ivy sleep so soundly.

My breath hitched in my throat, and my heart started to pound so loud as I watched Damon get closer.Who would have thought that he was the bad guy? “Don’t do anything stupid, Damon, please.” I pleaded, my voice quivering while my eyes stayed glued on the glittering knife he held.“Too late, El. Why use just her when I use you both? When can I finally get to rule the world?” He responded, a smirk curling up his lips.“Let her be, Damon. If you are truly a man, then face me!” Cruz dared, his pitch high as he struggled to set himself free.Damon let out a dry laugh.“A god, Cruz. That is what I will become.” He said pridefully.My eyes stung with tears, and I gently tilted my head sideways to look at the Wolf I had learned to love. My eyes trailed over his facial features, his sharp jaw, and the beauty that lay in his eyes.I knew it was the end. It's too bad that our story would have to end this
AUTHOR’S POV“Who are you?” Eleanor yelled as fear crawled through her, her fingers clutching tightly onto Cruz’s cloth while his arms were wrapped around her.She could feel her heart thumping fast.The strange man let out a long, satisfying laugh.“If it isn't the so-called Dema. How does it feel to be here, Eleanor? Especially after knowing that you can never make it out alive.” He mocked with a slight smile on his face.Cruz couldn't believe his eyes. He refused to comprehend why Eleanor’s neighbors would want to do anything to her.“What the fuck do you want, Fred?” He questioned in an obviously pissed tone.Fred twitched his lips gently.“Soon you shall know. For now, keep walking until I tell you to stop.” He ordered, causing Cruz to clench his teeth.“And if I don't?” He confronted him because, obviously, he couldn't afford to put Eleanor in more danger. At this point, he was more than willing to fight tooth and nail to get out of here.Fred dragged in the air, then chuckled m
AUTHOR’S POVHe went still. His breath hitched in his throat as he stared at her. It felt as though he had just heard the most absurd words ever existing.“How?” He questioned, a little bit scared to mention the word again because he was aware of what the dangers of being one were.Eleanor inflicted gentle pain on her fingers as she thought of the best way to explain because she, too, had no idea.“Talk to me, El!” He ordered, his voice shaking a little.The tears stinging her eyes started to let themselves roll down her cheeks. He curbed her chin up to stare at her confused expression, his other fingers running through his hair.“Fuck!” He cussed because he knew she could get killed if they knew. He was willing to lose the same person he just got back.Her sobs heightened.“I’m sorry, Cruz. I should have told you earlier. I just thought you might…despise me.” She confessed, her heart squeezing hard at each word.The pain spread through her like fire at the thought of losing him beca
AUTHOR’S POVHe could tell her shock by how her face fell. Her hands trembling and it caused him to smirk.“You don’t have to be sorry. I knew he made the first move.” He said, wanting to clear the air and her conscience.Eleanor attempted to say something and that would require spitting him out.“Shh! Say nothing. Just stay still like the obedient little doll you are.” He ordered and El nodded firmly. “That’s my good girl.” He added and started to move in and out. His butt clenching tightly as he did.“Fuck, El. Fuck!” He cussed, his hand holding her head in place while he continued to fuck her mouth faster and deeper.Eleanor’s eyes stung with tears, the pain in my throat getting worse and just like a maniac’s doll, she liked it, every single part of it caused her woman to drool some more.His waist rotating as he went while her fingernails dug into her thighs in order to spread more pain through her. The higher the pain, the better the sex.That she believed.“Fuck you, El.” He cu
ELEANOR’S POV“Sit slowly.” I heard him say and I nodded, bending low as his hands guided me. In the last few hours, the only thing I had done was nod. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything because for a weird reason, I felt shy. Not uncomfortable.My body, up to my breasts, hit the warm water and I felt my nerves relax.“Let me know when you feel uncomfortable, okay?” He said and I nodded briefly. I couldn’t tell what he was doing but soon the smell of Lavender filled my nostrils before his palms came in contact with my body again as he scrubbed it gently. It felt so good to have someone wash me up. Ever since I lost my sight, I had refused to let anyone bathe for me. I always instead of doing that myself and most times it was an uncomfortable thing.His palms found my neck and massaged them briefly, causing a low moan to escape through my pass. My body was at alert. On edge after all these while.My mind drifted briefly to Damon and the look he had on when I stepped out of his
CRUZ’S POV It happened. Finally I found her. Maybe not in the exact same condition but I was still more than pleased to have her back. Scars are what make us beautiful, after all. Plus I was willing and ready to do anything for her to get her sight back.I kept tilting my head and checking her out every minute, just to remind myself that it wasn’t a dream. I could feel my heart swelling with joy and pride.I had a daughter. I mean, we had a beautiful baby girl.Finally I was a Father.Now that I thought about it, I doubted if I was ever going to enough for a Father figure. Ivy was sleeping peacefully in the back while I rode the car with gentleness, not wanting to wake her up. While Eleanor stared ahead into nothingness and it caused my heart to ache.The charmingly bright smile she used to have, was no longer there.“You good, baby?” I broke the silence and watched her nod gently.I wanted to push it further but I don’t. We just met again after some many months so it was normal for
ELEANOR’S POV“Are you sure you are making the right choice?” Damon asked for the thirtieth time in the last hour and now I was no longer sure if I was.“Do you think I’m not?” I threw at him, wanting to know what his own opinion would be.“He abandoned you, El. He can do that anytime and you know that.” He pointed out while I stared at the darkness.Let me be your eyes, El.Cruz’s words replayed in my mind.“What if he is sorry? Sober? Anything?” I said, trying to defend him or was it myself?I needed badly to prove to myself that I wasn’t just some broken female who lacked fatherly love and badly craved it enough to settle for anything.“What if he is not?” Damon attacked and I could sense the worry in his voice, laced with disappointment. “You can’t just run back into his arms, El. Not after all these while.” He added causing me to nod as I bit on my lower lip again.“I can. I want to do this, Dam, please.” I responded and heard him sigh frustratedly before his steps get closer.“I
AUTHOR’S POV“I’m leaving with Cruz.” Eleanor announced the second, Cruz helped her down the stairs, causing Damon to look her way abruptly.“Huh!” He exclaimed, his jaw falling lower than usual out of shock. “I’m leaving with him.” She said again even though deep down a part of her warned her of how this could be a wrong idea.Damon refused to believe all he heard. In fact it had taken him more seconds than usual to process them and soon he was standing in front of her.“I would love to talk to her alone so please step aside.” Damon informed as he sent Cruz a death stare.“Fine then, I will be over there.” Cruz informed and ran his palm over Eleanor’s hair before leaning in. “Call me when you need me.” He whispered and watched her nod gently.Cruz took one last glance at the male who had tried taking his bride and threw him a smirk before walking away. His chest almost exploding with joy.She was back. She was going home with him and now his home would be home again.“You can’t just
