Glacia nudged me slightly and I peeked at her, grumbling loudly. “It’s time, you get up, my lady,” Glacia mused. I sighed and got down from the bed. Ever since I woke up, I have been lying in bed wondering what that monster is. How can a monster be the Dark Moon Pack? How come the Alpha doesn’t know about this beast? But then, the Alpha was the one who saved me, does that mean that he killed the beast? Or did the beast escape before his arrival, how did he know that I was there, how did he know that I needed help? He can’t be feeling the mate bond because he’s not my mate. “My lady?” Glacia’s voice pierced through my thoughts and snapped me back to reality. I sighed and sat up. If there’s someone who has the answer to these perturbing questions, it is the Alpha and I must extract the answers from him. “Would you like to eat something before taking a shower?” Glacia leaned closer as she asked. “I will …” she stopped talking and tilted her head in surprise her eyes fixed on m
I stared at the hands wrapped around Xander, my crystal red eyes moved to Xander’s face, he looked comfortable in other arms. “Aurora?” Xander muttered, he breathed in and shut his eyes, he must be taking in her peculiar scent.“How did you know that it was me?” The crisp sweet voice muttered behind him.“Your scent can never be mistaken,” Xander said, his eyes snapped open. My heart fell when I saw those mesmerizing dark blue eyes flooding with happiness.The hands snapped away from him and the bearer spun around and stood before him.I didn’t see her face but from behind, I knew she was extremely beautiful. Her dark brown wavy hair cascading down to her waist swept around in tidal waves. The blue velvet gown flowing down to the floor gummed around her slim waist, bringing forth her perfect curves.“You came early, unlike you,” Xander said, smiling sweetly down at her. I heard my own heart breaking at that lovely smile that should have been for me.She laughed. A sharp echoin
I stared at the door Aurora had walked through. Her words kept bouncing around my mind, pulling strings of torment at me. It can’t be true, the Alpha didn’t accept me as his mate to watch me die, is that a way of giving me an easy death? I shook my head again and sighed. His cold behavior towards me clearly shouted out that he didn’t love me. The way he looked at Aurora, smiled at her and talked to her gave me a huge clue that he didn’t want me but her. The door swung open and the voice I’ve forever been evading sank into my ear. “How are you feeling now, Elena?” I spun around, glaring at Nathan’s face. “Well, as you can see, I’m fine,” I snapped. I still can’t understand where this unusual courage comes from whenever I am with him. He smiled wryly, tilting his neck nervously. “The Alpha’s lover seems to be a sassy lady,” I was finally beginning to start a conversation, unusually. He swerved his head in my direction, and his wide shocked eyes stared at me. I smiled ruefully
~Nathan~“What the hell do you think you are doing, Nathan?!” I can see the fear build up in Elena’s eyes as Xander’s angry voice shoots through the room. She roughly pushed me away and rushed into the bathroom, banging the door loudly. My eyes trailed from the closed door to Xander’s angry face. Aurora was hovering behind him, a smirk splattered across her smug face. “What are you doing?” Xander repeated, his eyes burning in fury. “I just came to check up on her,” I replied, perspirations covered my palms as his gaze tore my flesh away and burned into my bones and marrows. “That was not what I saw!” he stamped his feet and the marble beneath his feet made cracking sounds. “I…I..” My eyes stared at the floor. “Thank you for coming, Nathan, I appreciate your concern for my health, unlike some people,” Elena said behind me. I spun around sharply and looked at her in surprise, did she just speak up for me? Her eyes were haughtily fixed on Xander’s face. The anger on his face
~Alexander~Calm freezing air swept through my open window and swept hard on my face. My eyes remained blank as the air stung into them.I was putting on my favorite dark plain coat over a dark shirt and pants.The door opened and Mother walked into the room. I can tell by her jittery voice that she was extremely happy.Her chattering stopped when she saw me standing by the window, gazing up at the dark space.“What are you doing there?” Her footsteps hastily approached me. I sighed and turned around, she gasped as her eyes trailed from my disarrayed head to my feet.“Why are you dressed like that!” she snapped, glaring daggers at me. I rolled my eyes, unconcerned.“It’s just dinner with someone I’ll be seeing every day,” I groaned. Her glare increased and she fumed in anger.“Must you always have a problem with everything?” she yelled.“Must you always have a problem with my dressing?” I replied, nonchalantly.“This is your Luna we’re talking about here!”
The knife I was holding dropped and his eyes darkened in anger.“Are you afraid?” His voice came out rough and husky.I shook my head vigorously, my heart constantly skipped beats in fear of the unknown before me.The mesmerizing blue eyes turned dark as they stared dangerously at me.“You are afraid,” he sighed and leaned back into his chair, crossing his large arms across his broad chest. “I am not,” I blurted out. “Why will I be scared of you? It’s not like you can harm me even if you wish to, with or without a heart you’re still my fated mate.” I couldn’t stop my tongue from rolling out those words. Was it fear that was lubricating the flow of those words? I couldn’t tell.A sinister smile tugged on the corner of his lips as he rubbed his chin, staring at me in amusement.“Hmmm,” he muttered, his blue eyes smiling at my face.My eyes widened as I realized my mistake. I had called him ‘mate!’ Gosh, Elena do you have to be so stupid all the time? I shook my head and tabbe
From my window, I gazed down at the trainees running around the field. Since morning, I’ve been lazily hanging around my window, hoping to find him among the trainees, yet no sign of Xander. My patience was gradually dwindling as I paced around, skeptically. “Are you sure he won’t disappoint me again?” I whispered to myself. “Are you okay, my Lady? You’ve been acting all anxious since morning, you haven’t even touched your breakfast,” Glacia said and I turned, faking a smile.“Are you sure? Is this because of your dinner date with the Alpha?” Glacia asked, I kept mute, hiding my face to conceal the pink fingers already spreading on my face. “You must have felt lonely, the Alpha was so cold, wasn’t he?” she giggled. I looked at Glacia. I have come to take her as an elder sister, she reminds me so much of Melsa. Glacia is 19 years old, a year older than me, though she doesn’t have a mate yet. “It wasn’t so bad, I enjoyed his company,” I said, smiling. Glacia's mouth fell open in
My eyes widened as my face flushed at her words. “I…uh…” I stammered and lowered my crimson face to the ground. “Woah, you’re entirely different, you know?” She said and I looked up. “What?” “You’re special, no one ever calls him by his name. Even his mate wasn’t privileged to do that.” My face heated up. I looked at the training field and found his eyes on me, my throat knotted and I quickly looked away. “He has been staring at you,” Glacia whispered, mischief resounding in her voice. “Stop trying to make me feel better,” I groaned. She giggled and lay down, her face pointed to the sky. “Do you know that of all the women that had a thing with the Alpha, you’re the only one that is friendly with servants,” Glacia changed the perturbing topic. “Really ?” “Yes, you’re just like Luna Violetta. The other Lunas and mistresses are just as cold and proud as the Alpha. You’re completely different.” I remembered that Xander had told me that I was different last night. Did he also ta
