Calista's POVIt has been an hour since the others left. I just finished my paperwork, giving instructions to Leosin, Aaron, and Kim. I also had a talk with Ralph, well, Alpha Ralph, but I prefer just Ralph.After a small bath, I wore a gray tank top with a black print that says 'SAVAGE' and my black leather jacket with an inner puncture-resistant layer. I added leather fingerless gloves and black combat heel leather boots. I let my hair down in loose curls and applied a thick layer of black eyeliner, mascara, dark eye shadows, and red dahlia lipstick. I wore earrings, a bracelet, and the moonstone and onyx necklace.Once ready, I grabbed my bag and walked out of my home, entering my black and gold Bugatti Chiron, racing out of my pack. This is the day. I will be facing my past, the past that destroyed my little soul.3rd person POV When the cars pulled into Dark Shadow, people filled the surroundings, representing both Dark Shadow and White Ray. The first person to exit the car was
Calista's pov"There. Happy now?" I said, turning away from him. "I was going to reject you. Why did you reject me when you knew I would do it?" he said, wincing. I knew. He is feeling the pain of rejection. Not only him, so am I. I can feel the pain. It hurts. But not as much as last time, because this time I didn't get rejected. Instead, I rejected it. But still, it hurt. Knowing I rejected my only chance for a second life of happiness, it's hurting me mentally."I won't get rejected twice in my life. Pain once is enough for me," I replied coldly. "Alpha Luciano is your other mate? Didn't know there is something called second chances," Elijah shrugged. "Neither did I. He is my first mate," I nodded. "This hurts," he growled to himself. "It does. Enjoy the pain. It will last for some time. Either get used to it or ignore it," with that, I walked away.Fate always has a way of playing with our lives. My life. First, I wasn't able to shift. Second, I got rejected and abused by my par
Calista's POV"Holy crap! Is this really happening?" I heard Carlos mutter. "You're my mate?" he asked again. "Who do you think I am, huh? Some kind of monster?" Esmeralda said sarcastically."Actually, that's kind of true, you know. I would rather have a monster mate than you," he mumbled. I knew he was scared, and I couldn't help but smirk."Oh yeah? Fine then. Go and find your monster mate. But please, invite me the moment she tries to kill you. I'll bring popcorn and watch," Esmeralda glared at him and turned around, then started walking away."Ah, crap," Carlos mumbled. "Hey, Esmi! Wait!" he yelled before walking towards her. "No! Don't come! Go find your monster mate! I'm pretty sure she's waiting for you!" Esmeralda yelled and started running away from him."Esmi! Esmeralda! It was a joke! Wait up!""Yeah, yeah, whatever! I don't care! Just don't... Hey! Let go! Let go! Carlos, let go!""No. I finally found my mate! I can't let her go now, can I?""You said you want a monster m
Calista's povHe continued kissing my neck without even giving me time to breathe. He kissed from my neck to jaw and back to my neck. My legs were like jelly that I had to grip his muscular shoulders for support.Oh, moon goddess. This feels so good. I had to stifle the moans that fought to escape. His hands started roaming on my small form as his lips worked on my neck in rhythm. His warm hands lifted the hem of my top and pushed his hands inside. His warm hands touched my bare skin. This time, I couldn't stifle the moan. His hands started moving higher and higher.No! What am I doing? Why am I letting him do this to me? Oh my god! This is wrong. He shouldn't be doing this. No. No. No! Elijah leaned towards my face. I can feel his warm breath on my face. Oh my. Those red plump lips. They look so kissable. I couldn't help but lick my lips, and he growled in satisfaction. He moved his lips even closer as he wrapped his strong arms around my waist.Snap out of it! Snap out of it, Calist
Calista's povI gasped as tears fell from my eyes. I collapsed, but thankfully, Esmeralda was able to get a hold of me. I saw my sister break free from our father's grip and run toward me, tears streaming down her face. She tackled me in a hug, crying on my shoulder. At that moment, I felt like the older one. I controlled my tears, realizing this situation would hurt Valerie more than me.I rubbed her back soothingly. "Hey, Vale, you didn't have to do that for me. Whatever choice you made, I will always remember you. You will always be my sister, and I will always be here for you. I love you, Valerie," I said softly."I love you too. And no, I'm not going back to them. I don't care. I would rather go rogue than be with them. I don't want to live with someone who hates my baby sister. You will always be my baby sister. I love you, Ari," she cried.Ari. I guess I'm going to let her call me that. I love it when she calls me Ari rather than Winnie."You won't go rogue. Ever. If you go rog
Calista’s povAfter enjoying a lovely time with Kail, we returned to the pack house. Kail's happiness mattered most to me, so I put him to bed early in preparation for school the next day. Yes, the kids attend school in this pack.I kissed his eyes and left the room, grateful for having the best son, even if he isn't my biological child; he's the best thing that ever happened to me.I wore a cotton oversized sweater with denim shorts, and I put my long curly hair in a loose bun. Then, I grabbed my purse and left the pack house.I recently learned that the Red Wood pack also resides in the same section as mine, meaning Luciano lives somewhere nearby. It made me nervous for some reason.However, the White Ray pack lives with the Dark Shadow pack in the other wings, as they are long-term guests unlike us.Exiting my room, I headed to the kitchen with the intention of making some food since I was hungry. After preparing noodles, just as I was about to sit down to eat, I received a message
Calista's pov"I didn't know when I fell asleep; I was still in the forest. I didn't have enough energy in my body to stand up after he threw me with so much force. I was sitting there, and I just fell asleep.I heard faint footsteps come near. My wolf lifted her head to concentrate on the noise disturbing our peace. But the scent we smelled made her whimper and go back into my mind.I didn't move. I didn't open my eyes either. I just sat there, leaning against the tree, trying to go back to sleep. I was really tired.I know I'm being careless. After all, I'm in a wood. Who sleeps here anyway? But it's me, and I don't give a shit what others think. Besides, I'm not sure if I can stand up without stumbling. God! I hate Lycan strength. It's as strong as mine, if not more.And to say Elijah is the Lycan king... Oh well. His strength will be stronger than a normal Lycan. Obviously, that explains why I'm unable to move. I am, but I'm tired.I heard the footsteps coming closer, and his scen
Calista's povI was washing the plate and the glass when I felt warm breath on my neck. Startled, I turned around only to come face to face with a chest. The scent of blackberry and vanilla with a hint of rain filled my nose. I felt a shiver run through my body, even though it doesn't have the same effect as before.I looked up, my eyes meeting dark gray eyes. I narrowed my eyes at him. "What d-" I was interrupted."Please, Calista. Please give me a chance. Just one last chance. I'm begging you. Please," Luciano said pleadingly. He sounded heartbroken, making me sad but not as much."No. You had your chance. You blew it yourself," I said. "I would have given you a chance if it was only the rejection you gave me. I don't care about the times you slept with those women either. Yes, it hurts. It still does. But I would have given you a chance if you chan-""I have changed, Calista! I don't sleep with them! Not anymore! I swear to God! I do-" he tried to say."I know you don't sleep aroun
