Protected by the Dark Alpha

EloiseMy world, as I knew it, had just changed.Alondra howled in pain in my mind, and I knew it was all over.The life I had so carefully planned with Hall had been shattered in that moment.My heart raced with rage, yet my body did not respond, sinking into such a deep state of paralysis that I did not know what to do. The shock was intense, terrifying, and incredibly devastating.I swallowed hard, and a tear rolled down my cheek as I watched my mate kiss my stepsister passionately. Giselle looked happy and content, her brown hair and dark skin glowing with the pleasure she had achieved.“We have to get back to the pack,” Hall said. “Eloise must be wondering where I am, and the bond block isn't permanent.”“That fool is incapable of realizing anything,” Giselle said angrily, with a hatred that baffled me. “The spoiled brat has no idea what's going on, but once you marry her and manipulate her into taking over her damn, disgusting father's position as Alpha, I'll be able to get my r

EloiseI woke up when I felt the cold water on my skin, soaking me completely and shaking me to my core. I opened my eyes abruptly and forcefully and then gasped at the cold sensation running through every inch of my skin.When I focused my vision, the burning in my chest was so intense that I didn't know how to process it. But when I saw Giselle standing in front of me, her eyes red as if she had been crying and a murderous expression on her face, I knew that my decision had had serious consequences.And I also knew everything I needed to know about her at that moment.Giselle would attack me without hesitation, so I prepared myself for it.“You damn bitch!” Giselle shouted. “You hurt Hall!”I coughed hard, but then I laughed.My last card had worked, the last move I had left to make in that horrible situation. And I thanked the Goddess for that.“Is he dead?” I asked ironically, and she became even more enraged. “I meant to kill him.”Giselle slapped me viciously.“Undo what you did

EloiseMy head felt like it was going to explode.An unbearable pain woke me abruptly from my sleep, and I cursed under my breath in pain. I didn't know what was happening; I just wanted to keep sleeping, to have calm and peace. I sat up in bed and took deep breaths until I realized that the texture of the sheets covering me was fur.I opened my eyes quickly and gasped when I realized this.I shook my head, then realized that my brother Emmett was lying asleep next to me, completely unaware that we were not in our pack. It was then that all the memories of the last two days came flooding back to me.I stifled a moan of pain as I realized that none of it had been a horrible nightmare.It had all been real, every bit of it.My father was dead.My nanny was dead.My stepmother and stepsister were traitors.My mate, the man I loved most, turned out to be a vile insect, and I couldn't help but let a couple of tears roll down my cheeks. The situation was terrible, but I couldn't afford to c
