Hello faithful readers, Unfortunately, I will take a small break from updates this weekend to celebrate my husband's 31st birthday with our family and friends. I will resume posting chapters with my usual vigor on Monday, September 19th. Thank you for your continued support and enjoyment of Damon and Elle's story. Please keep commenting, liking, voting, and sharing their story with your friends. Have a great weekend, and I hope you are prepared for the shitstorm coming in the next few chapters! (laughs evilly) Seriously, a lot of stuff will happen next that I am not prepared for. XOXO Emma Taylor
Damon POV The happiness I feel at Melanie finding her mate, Alpha Stephan from Blue Ridge, does not compare to the joy of knowing Elle will no longer be pushed onto him. But it all comes crashing down around me when dad sees my hand resting on Elle's arm. Poseidon is in control as he glares where my hand lays, the tingles from our contact ending abruptly as Elle pulls away from me. 'What the fuck is his problem?' Slade asks, fighting to take control, not liking that Poseidon thinks he has a say in whether we touch Elle. "Leave! NOW!" My father screams at Elle, who casts me one last glance before scurrying out the door, not looking back. "What the fuck is your problem?" Slade growls at Poseidon. I see no other option than to let him take control. If my father isn't going to back down, neither will I. "You think we are stupid?" My father yells as he steps forward to push me out of the high school foyer. Throwing me down the steps, thank the goddess for the werewolf abilities. I
Alpha Charles & Luna Olivia "Did you do it?" Luna Olivia asks her mate as he walks into the office, his body dripped in sweat. "What the hell happened?" she asks when she finally notices how disheveled Alpha Charles looks. "Damon and I got into a fight," Charles grumbles as he sits down; unlike his son, he isn't a young and virile Alpha but instead getting closer to retirement each day. "You were supposed to warn Damon away from Elle, not attack him," Olivia scolds him as she grabs bottled water from the mini fridge hidden away in one of his cabinets. "We both know that Damon, or Slade, wouldn't have reacted unless I pushed him," Charles explains, "he is a typical unmated Alpha male. He wasn't going to get it without a threat of violence." Charles finishes before drinking the entire water bottle in one go. "Charles," Luna Olivia says, her voice growing quiet as she looks at her husband, guilt washing over her face, "are we doing the right thing?" "I don't know if this is th
Elle Pov It's been ten minutes since I made my way into the party room, and Damon still hasn't walked through the door. Andrew and Matt aren't here either, meaning he must still be with them, and I should calm down. His friends may not be my favorite people in the world, but I know them well enough to know they would make sure he is okay. Standing with my friends, listening as they mingle and joke but not paying attention too distracted by thoughts of Damon. Too preoccupied with my thoughts I don't notice the sizeable male figure standing abnormally close to me. I see Alpha Jonah looking down at me with an easy smile. I know he is the cousin of the twins and Charity, but goddess, is the man never within his damn territory? Doesn't he have a pack to run? I know Taylor is his Gamma's mate, but he doesn't need to come to our pack every time Brad does. "Hello, Alpha Jonah, nice to see you again," I say to him, putting on a fake smile. Looking behind him, I see Theo giving Jonah dirty
Theo POV I walk into my empty house, the lights off, which isn't surprising since my father hasn't been around much in the last few weeks, too busy with council business. My father wasn't always so absorbed in work, but after my mothers death six years ago, he hasn't been the same. Going into the kitchen, I grab one of the IPAs on the shelf; cracking it open, I fall onto the couch as I take a long sip and turn on the TV playing a Parks and Rec rerun. It's been a long night celebrating Melanie and her new mate, Alpha Stephan. Of course, Alpha Jonah was there hanging all over Elle like a possessive Alpha douche. "I don't trust him,' Cerebrus, my wolf, grumbles for the fiftieth time tonight. No one sets him off like Alpha Jonah, not even Damon, who is also a jackass. 'Because Alpha Damon cares about Elle, Jonah is using her, I am sure of it. Something about his scent doesn't smell right.' 'I know, Cerebrus,' I sigh, growing tired of this carousel conversation we have been having s
Elle POV "Elle?" Damon asks, his voice still groggy from sleep, "What are you doing here?" he mumbles as he tries to wipe the gunk out of his eyes. I answer while staring at my feet, too ashamed to be standing outside his door in the middle of the night, "I couldn't sleep, and I was hoping we could talk or something..." I mumble in shame while fidgeting nervously, too afraid to look him in the eyes. I hate that I cannot stay away from him, regardless of how much I try. It's like my body has a mind of its own and wants the blonde-haired God standing in the doorway. "Are you-" I start to say until I finally lift my face to look at Damon, only to find the pitch-black eyes of Slade staring back at me, his breathing ragged, his lust devouring me. "Slade?" As soon as his name leaves my mouth, he grabs me into his arms, burying his face into my neck and inhaling deeply. As if I am as light as a feather, he picks me up, my skin tingling like it's on fire. As soon as the door closes, my se
Damon POV Elle's shallow and peaceful breaths let me know she is fast asleep next to me, my arms wrapped around her while the rest of my body recovers from what happened. Even my wildest fantasies cannot compare to reality; being with her like that causes the entire world to fall away, leaving only us. 'Slade, what were you thinking?' I ask him as I start to reason, and the haze of my lust slowly fades away. 'You can't tell me you didn't enjoy making her cum,' Slade snickers as if that answers my question. 'That's not the point, and you know it,' I argue with him, annoyed that he cannot see the shitstorm this decision will cause. Now that I have had Elle in my bed, the thought of her not being here every night because she is with another Alpha makes me sick. 'That's exactly the point," Slade retorts, and I can hear the superiority in his voice because, as much as I hate to admit it, I am grateful that he did what he did. 'You did it because you knew it'd make it impossible
Theo POV I know it's 6 am, but I couldn't sleep after Damon and his friends left my house. Cerebrus and I conflicted the whole night over whether or not we should tell Elle about their unexpected arrival on my doorstep. Eventually, Cerebrus won, so I walked up the steps to Elle's hallway at 6 in the morning to witness her coming down the opposite steps on the other side of the hallway. Her hair is chaotic, and she is wearing clothes that aren't hers, an indistinguishable fragrance mixed with hers. The sandalwood and eucalyptus of the young Alpha cling to Elle like a visible claim to any males around. I can't help but smirk until I notice the tears in her eyes, which causes Cerebrus to roar to life, wanting vindication. He didn't care that she was with Damon, we half expected it to happen sooner or later, but we won't tolerate him hurting her. "Elle," I say, startling her as she hurriedly tries to wipe away the tears falling freely down her face. "Are you okay?" "Theo," she says t
