Elena's Pov

In my chambers Clara assisted me in changing as she bombarded me with questions. I responded automatically, my thoughts remaining in the healers quarters.

"So you're dining with him this evening," Clara remarked, weaving my hair. "Does that imply…"

"It doesn’t signify anything.". The words sounded empty. "I’m simply,.... hearing him out. Attempting to grasp it."

"You mean you are attempting to forgive him?"

"Perhaps." I locked eyes with her reflection, in the mirror. "Does that sound foolish? Considering all that’s happened?"

"It's human." Clara's hands froze. "Wolf. Whatever it is. The thing…you care for him. When you don’t want to. When you feel angry, hurt and confused. You still do care about him."

"That doesn't imply I ought to have faith in him."

"No.. It shows a desire to try.. Occasionally, that’s sufficient to begin healing." She pressed my shoulders gently. "Just, guard your heart alright? Don’t offer him everything until you’re certain."

I nodded, though I wasn

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Bound As His Luna    The Man At The Boarder

    Elena's POVMy father.The term reverberated in my mind while Andrew and I hurried down the hallways. Pack members dispersed as we went by feeling the stress emanating from their Alpha."It might be a trick," Andrew murmured, his grip firm, on my hand. "The very one who dispatched those ravens. The one who ambushed us in the clearing.""It might actually be him." My voice trembled. "The man responsible, for my mother's death. The one who trafficked me to Kael.""Then I will end him personally."The confidence, in his tone ought to have frightened me. Instead it came across as a shield.We arrived at the border to see Marcus and twenty fighters arranged in a stance. Past them, beyond pack lands, a man was standing.He appeared older than I had recalled. His dark hair was threaded with grey. Deep creases marked the areas, around his eyes and mouth.. The contour of his face, the manner in which he stood...“Papa?" The term escaped, soft and youthful.He recoiled. "Elena. You've matured."

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Bound As His Luna    Chapter 43: I Can't Lose You

    Andrew's PovHer eyes glistened with tears. "You shouldn't talk like that.""Why not?""Because it urges me to trust you. It pushes me to let go of all skepticism and simply..." She withdrew her hand placing it over her heart. "Simply surrender. Despite the fact that surrendering could be the foolish choice I've ever made.""Then act foolishly with me." I rose, circling the table to kneel by her seat. "Take the chance. Allow yourself to slip. I promise on all I'm, love, value and possess, that I will catch you."Her breathing faltered. "Andrew...""I love you." The words spilled forth. "Not your strength. Not your heritage. You. The woman who challenges Selene. Who rescues injured creatures. Who sees me as both the worst choice shes ever taken." My hand reached her cheek thumb gently wiping away a tear. "I love you, Elena Torres.. I will dedicate every single day for the rest of my life showing it if that’s the necessity to make you believe me."She melted into my caress, eyelids shut

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Bound As His Luna    Chapter 42: Dinner for Two

    Andrew's POVI intended to set the kitchen on fire.The chicken was burnt. The vegetables appeared as if they’d been massacred.. Whatever on earth I attempted with the potatoes resulted in something that looked like cement."Alpha I ought to..." the chief chef began."No." I swept the wreckage into the garbage. "I promised I'd prepare dinner for her. I truly meant it."Marcus rested against the doorframe hardly concealing his grin. "You realize she’d likely be okay just getting something, from the kitchen.""That’s beside the point." I began again retrieving ingredients from the cold storage. "The real issue is doing something for her that's n’t..." I halted, irritation rising. "That’s not about Alpha duties or pack matters. Something ordinary. Something that shows I view her more, than just my Luna or my mate or my..."“Your armament?" Marcus added softly.The word struck like a blow. "I never perceived her like that.""Didn't you?" He stepped away, from the doorframe coming nearer.

    Elena's POVDawn’s glow filtered through the healer’s window casting a hue over everything. Andrew's eyes were wide open as mine slowly stirred, his gaze fixed on me with a sharpness that took my breath away.I murmured, "For how long have you been looking intently?""Too brief." His fingers followed the contour of my cheek. "You speak while you sleep."Warmth washed over my face. "I don’t.""You do. Spoke my name thrice." His grin was gentle and heart-wrenching. "Also something regarding strawberries and a wolf, though that bit was less clear."In spite of everything I nearly laughed. "That's awkward.""That’s cute." He adjusted himself, flinched. The motion made me recall he was still hurt and still recovering."You should get rest." I tried to withdraw. His grip on my arm became firmer."Stay." Not a command. A request. "Please. Just a few more minutes."The weakness in his tone broke me down. I leaned back into his chest hearing his heartbeat. Firm. Constant. Genuine."I think we

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Bound As His Luna    Chapter 39: Second Math

    Elena's Pov I said nothing. I simply continued wiping the blood off his skin attempting to disregard the urge of my hands to stay longer to feel beyond what was needed.He said, "I have to tell you something. About that book. About the reason I possessed it."My hands froze. "Martha mentioned you require rest…""Martha can hold on." His gaze locked with mine. "You merit the truth. Not fragments. Not partial justifications." He exhaled. "Two months prior, Rowan approached me with whispers. Mentioned an Ancient bloodline survivor. Said if one showed up in our domain we had to be ready.""Prepared to bind them.""Ready to defend them." His grip on my hand grew firmer. "Elena, are you aware of the fate of bloodlines when other packs discover them? They’re pursued. Seized. Exploited until depleted. I studied that book not to master control over you but to figure out how to protect you.""That's handy," I remarked, though my tone was flat."Is that so? Then clarify why I turned you down."
