Elara
" Baby! Kill that bitch, she almost killed me!" the woman who insulted me exclaims. Babe? They are in a relationship, and that stings, especially with the way she is holding him. Her arm is around her waist as she cries. Connor notices my eyes on the woman's arm around him, and he scoffs. A smirk on his lips. He holds her waist.
" Connor, tell me you will punish this woman!" she cries, looking up to him for assurance. He kisses her lips and cups her face.
" Of course,"
He was fucking doing that TO HURT ME. I hide my feelings of hurt and keep my face neutral.
" I, Elara Silvius, reject you, alpha Connor as my mate and alpha," I say calmly.
Collective gasps erupt from the crowd, and they begin to speak amongst themself.
I watch Connor swallow, and he clutches his jaw in anger. What did he expect? That I will stay after the bullshit he did? He holds his chest in discomfort, and a moment of silence goes by when he speaks.
" I reject your rejection. You're my mate, and you'll stay here and pay for your family's sins against mine," he says, and I gasp. This man was delusional.
" You must be delusional, Connor, and what makes you think I'll stay here?" I ask and turn to walk towards the door, but four brut men appear in front of me. I turn to face Connor. He snickers and raises an eyebrow challengingly. The hall goes into a frenzy when I shift into my pure white wolf and attack the guards.
Others shifted in self-defense as Ara attacked them relentlessly. Fur fly in the air, and I howl when sharp fangs bite into my leg. I claw at the brown wolf that bites me and throw it against the wall. I face the remaining two large wolves, but they are not bigger than I am. Despite being female, my wolf was one of the biggest and was the only pure white wolf because I'm the only female in a werewolf royal bloodline, so that made me special. I was rare and chosen by the moon goddess herself.
I resume fighting the wolves when I suddenly feel weak and my vision blurry. It is a strange feeling, especially since Wolfsbane didn't affect me like any other wolf.
Darkness takes over me as a distinct scent of lavender fills my nostrils.
" Wow, his venom is powerful indeed. I shall need more," I hear Connor's evil laughter.
...
I wake up in a cold sweat and a racing heart like I ran a marathon. I still feel weak and nauseous. I sit up and inspect my surroundings. I'm in a different room. It has tiny windows, even though the space is huge with a round bed. I roll out of bed but immediately fall to my knees as my chest burns.
My phone, I need my phone. My chest is burning, and my abdomen hurts terribly. I feel tears roll down my face as I make my way to Connor's bedroom. I found it easily as we were on the same floor. I push the door, and what I find doesn't shock me. Her hands are in his hair, and his on top of her, fucking her. He stops his movement, sensing me. He knows that I'm here, but he resumes, this time fucking her fiercely. She is moaning his name loudly as they move. The burning sensation on my body feels like lava, but I don't writhe or moan in pain. It was what he wanted, to see me suffer. I push myself into the room, opening every drawer there is, but I don't find my phone.
Frustrated from searching, and the pain makes tears roll down my eyes.
He's my mate. He's supposed to love me and protect me. He can only pleasure me, not anyone else. Connor catches my gaze, and my heart drums in my chest. He examines me with his deep beautiful eyes, and he smiles devilishly as he continues to fuck her. I just gave him the satisfaction of seeing me cry, and I loath myself for it.
I grab the closest lamp and throw it on them. The woman screeches, and they detach. Connor is in front of me in a flash, his chest heaving, and he pushed me against the wall, gripping my cheeks painfully tight. His dick is poking my abdomen, and I feel it getting harder and harder. I'm disgusted. I spit in his face.
" What is your fucking problem?" he sneers in my face. I push him with all the strength I can muster at this moment. It isn't enough to create distance though.
" You're my problem!" I scream. " I want my phone, I need you to accept my rejection, and I'm leaving this horrid place,"
He scoffs as if what I said means nothing to him and looks back at his girlfriend on the bed. She gets up, completely naked, and wraps her hands around him.
" Baby, why can't you just do as she wants and rid yourself of her," comes her bitchy voice. It was small and had high pitches. It angered my wolf and me.
" I'm not done with her. The Silvius killed my sister. She was innocent, and they drove my mother to insanity. Someone has to pay for it, and she will," He glares at me coldly. I shake my head at his accusation. My family isn't pure and they have done deeds that I'm not proud of but it wasn't against the innocent.
" My family would never hurt an innocent," I say.
" They did, your fucking cunt mother killed my sister!" he screams in my face, and I see red. I punch him in the face hard, and before he can comprehend what I did, I hit him again and kicked his balls.
" Never in your pathetic life insult my mother," I growl, punching him, but it wasn't as powerful as I wanted because whatever poison he injected me with hadn't worn off. His bitch is screaming and trying to push me away, but I elbow her in the face, and her nose makes a cracking sound.
Connor pushes me off him, and I feel a stinging pain on my cheek. I'm sure his punch will leave a mark on my skin. My body shakes in anger, and I lunge at him again. He is ready as he kicks me to the floor. A wince escapes my lips.
Connor is angry and growling. I squirm in pain on the floor, but Ara strengthens me. I jumped on him and locked my legs around his waist as I kicked and punched him in the face and head. He shrugs me off, but my legs were tight around him.
“ You asshole, how. dare. you. treat. me. like. this,” I pant with each vicious punch, understanding I’m using the last of my strength.
He manages to push me away like burning charcoal that landed on his skin, and I fall to the floor, no doubt a few ribs broken by the impact.
" I have treated you too nicely. Do you think this is a joke? Let me give you a taste of what you’re in for," he growls. He drags me by my hair down the hall while I kick and scream for him to let go. The servants move away in fear of the angry alpha. Once we reach the outside, he pushes me into the pool, and I gasp for air. There is one thing I never learned to do in my life... swim. I had PTSD because I almost drowned as a child.
I keep going under and up as I try to keep myself afloat to no avail.
" It would be a glorious death. I'd send your body full of water to your parents, damn the look on their faces would be priceless, but it's too fast," his voice is cold. He suddenly grabs my hair again as I go under and pull me up. I gasp, breathing hard and coughing. My eyes are watery, and I let myself cry.
" You're crying. I scared the fuck out of you," he laughs as I cry harder. Everything but water. My wolf fears for our life too. I gulp large amounts of water. He suddenly pulls me out of the water.
" I hate you, I hate you so fucking much, and you'll pay for this," I promise.
Connor kicks me back in the water. He is watching with a smile as I struggle to swim, and I surrender, letting myself go, and close my eyes as they can't stay open. Just when I thought I'd die. A growl tears through the air, and I feel arms around me as I'm lifted and placed on the ground.
" I'm going to kill you for this," A deep, rich smooth guttural voice speaks. It's attractive but dangerous.
Zuriel. ' It is your duty to strengthen and protect the dragon empire,' my father's voice resounds in my head. ' Zuriel, you're my son and the stability of this empire. Your power, this precious gift of yours will win us many victories. We shall occupy all the West, and we'll be the strongest supernatural to exist. You will do it,' His voice makes me shudder, and the sinister look in his eyes makes me see how truly mad he is. The mad king, the power-hungry king. ' I - I don't want to do it. P- people will die,' I finally find my voice. Six-year-old me could only shift his gaze to the ground when he got up from his throne. He is angry at me for speaking out against his glorious plans for the empire. I should know better. I shouldn't anger him, or he will hit Mom again. I shouldn't have spoken. SLAP. Mom gasps and rushes to me, but I shake my head and quickly stand up. If she helps me up, he'll hit her too. My mom is worried. Father walks up to her and tucks a strand of her ha
" The little wolf princess?" Mother nods. What do they mean fucking missing? Elara, I say her name silently, Princess Elara Silvius. “ Yes, she found her mate and went with him, only leaving her family a message,” she sighs. Rage. I feel RAGE, and my fist clenches. She found her mate and left just like that? What kind of an idiot is she? She is impulsive and has her head in the clouds. “ They don’t know which pack she went to. They sent men to find her to no avail,” Mom continues. I feel an anger bubble inside me. That girl has always been so capricious since she was a kid. She thinks life is adventure and rainbows. She’s fucking pathetic. She doesn’t understand she is a pure white wolf, one of a kind, and enemies of the crown are after her. There are all sorts of myths surrounding her wolf. Others believe if they drink the blood, they shall live forever or will have more power. All nonsense myths, but she is special. That is why protection has always been tight around her since
I close my eyes and think about Elara. Her perfect face plays in my head. It’s like seeing a blurry vision, yet certain it’s where she is. I follow the dusty road until we reach the highway and back to a gravel road. Within two hours, I reach the pack where the little princess is. Without waiting for security to let me in the pack, I go straight to the alpha's mansion. They are chasing my car and trying to stop me. When I stopped in front of a mansion, I hit one wolf with my car, he shouldn't have stood in front of me. I get out, growling menacingly at the guard wolves. My aura makes them whimper. Wolves are powerful creatures, but dragons are more powerful and intimidating, even our aura oppresses them. I walk inside and down to the backyard, her scent is stronger and more enticing to my wolf. Has she always smelt like this? I wonder. I stop in my tracks when I see a man, an alpha glaring at the pool. He's too engrossed to notice me. I glimpse what he's watching, it's her, the L
I stare at him shocked, I don't know if he's joking because he said it without flinching. He is serious about killing Alpha Connor, " No, Zuriel, I'll be fine. But I do want to find him so that he can accept my rejection," " That fucker," he murmurs. I was tied to Connor, and I'd feel it when he is fucking other women. That will be his great punishment for me. I hated Connor so much. " I'm sure he's on the run now and won't be coming anytime soon," I sigh. Zuriel's phone rings, and he pulls it from his pocket with a frown and shows me the caller ID. It's my Dad. " Don't tell him about the condition you found me in. It's embarrassing," I say, my cheeks heating up from embarrassment. He looks at me wordless but nods. I don't want this to get out. It's a shame in my family's name. Everything I did was wrong. I wasn't supposed to go with him without my parent's blessing, and I especially wasn't supposed to mate with him without the ceremony. If it gets out, the rumormongers will be vic
Elara " Zuriel, Zuriel. You're hurting me,” he didn’t realize he was holding my body too tightly. I was suffocating for a second there, and his body was shaking. The aura that filled the elevator was oppressive and scary. I place a hand on his hard chest, and he stares down at me.Time stops as he stares at me with those emerald dangerous eyes of his. Those eyes I used to go crazy for, the eyes that made my heart beat faster than anything in the world. I almost forgot this feeling. It had been too long since we saw each other as he always disregarded me. An annoying tick, he called me.“ Put me down, I can stand,” I say, trying to avoid my thoughts about him. He ignores my wishes and walks out of the elevator into his penthouse. He puts me down, standing close to me. Zuriel was over 6ft, and warmth radiated from his muscular body. I glance around the living room. It is large, luxurious, and neat too. His scent covered the entire apartment, and my wolf was excited after being qui
ConnorI was growling. Who the fuck was that man? His aura was like no other. He wasn’t an alpha, but something greater. The look in his eyes was severe. He wanted me dead. I felt like I was a man marked by death. Death roamed over my life since my encounter with him, and I could feel it. I needed to be careful. I hid out in the forest. I was blinded, and my eye was damaged. I needed to go to the hospital, but I couldn't as I don't know if that man is still in my pack. I mind link my beta. ‘ Beta, that man,’ ‘ He’s gone, sir,’ he says. I can tell he was distressed and in pain, after all, he was one of the people that the beast almost killed. I think back to my mate and the concern in that stranger’s eyes. ‘ And Elara?’ I ask. I am feeling apprehensive and nervous. I want to know, but also I'm scared that he has taken her, my mate. ‘ She went with him, Alpha,’ he says softly. I feel many emotions swell in me. Fear, hurt, anger, and so much more. I’ll never see her again now. Elara
Zuriel I place her hands over her head. My gaze is on her. I lost my mind when she suggested she had been with other men. I am angry at her, and my body is shaking. I glare at her, and she holds my gaze. This proximity is dangerous. I can't be this close to her, but I can't move away either. I feel like a moth drawn to a flame. My eyes fall on her soft lips. I hate that men had her, they tasted her! " Your eyes... They are beautiful," She breathes. I didn't expect her to say that. She is drawn into my eyes. Her chest rising and falling, I can't help when my eyes linger... She isn't flat chest anymore. I need control of my emotions, I need to take back charge because if I don't, I might end up doing something I'd regret. With great difficulty, I pull away from the green-eyed princess. " Go to bed?" I tell her. " I like it when we are close," Her voice is seductive. Since when is she not coquettish around me? What the fuck is she doing? Does she still like me? Elara confesse
" Have you looked in the mirror? You look like a whore," he says, and my eyes widen. Did he just call me a whore. I scoff and fold my arms. Anger bubbling inside me. "She looks like a whore, not me," I grit my teeth, my eyes snapping to the woman standing in the corner now. Her eyes flash with outrage. " I'm not a whore. He's my boyfriend," she spat confidently. One glare from me shuts her up. Zuriel gestures for her to leave, and with an annoyed huff, she runs back upstairs... To his room. I watch after her with disdain, and suddenly my body is hot. It happens when he's staring at me, my body reacts in such a manner to him. " Want to blast her with your eyes?" he teased. Was he being playful right now?" I'm leaving, Zuzu," I roll my eyes as a smirk forms on my lips. I used to call Zuzu to tease him. His eyes widen in shock at that nickname I used to call him as a kid. He hated it so I used the nickname to get his attention. He's trying to keep calm, inhaling in and out. " Don't
