Eleanor's POV
It's been three months since I lost my parents and my life had been worse. My parents had no relatives so there was one to take me in.
I learned to fend for myself while being treated like a parasite by the rest of my pack members. Three months since the little peace I had was shattered.
I couldn't even go to school anymore. Not like I could afford it anyways.
There was no one to share my grief with. No one bothered.
But I didn't care. All I wanted was my mate. I was waiting for my mate. He was going to take me away from all these toxic people.
Mother told me that a mate is someone who would treat you right. Someone who is destined to love you till death just like she and Father .
I had always loved the way my father treated my mother. He treated her like she was the most precious treasure in his life.
Mother told me that my mate would always stand by me, he would always understand me and believe in me no matter what people say about me and I was waiting for my mate to come and claim me and take me away from here.
That was the reason I decided to attend this year's royal ball. A royal ball is an event where unmated werewolves from all around the universe gather and party with the sole aim of finding their mate.
Father told me that sometimes, one's mate might not live in the same pack with them but once their paths cross, they feel the bond.
I was very certain that my mate was not from my pack. I don't know if I would be able to bear the pain of my mate being one of those evil beings.
I was so glad when I heard that the annual royal ball was scheduled to be held in my pack. I had no reason to think of how to get to the venue.
I stared at my mother's flowery gown. The one that she had won the first day she met her father. Father was swooned by her looks and I intend to do the same to my mate.
I wore the gown, it was just a simple blue gown with not many designs on it but it had a flower embroidery design on the left chest. I stared at the image in the full mirror. I looked glorious.
I stepped my feet into my mother's heels. The one father had bought for her the day I was born to celebrate my arrival.
She never wore them because she felt they were too expensive and must have caused her father a fortune. I know that Mother would be so proud of me. Watching me dress up for my mate.
I placed the only jewelry that mother had on my neck and I was ready to go.
I stared at my image in the mirror for a while then I was finally ready to go. My dress was not the best but I looked decent.
Walking into the ballroom, I felt as though I had just entered another life. Everything felt so magical. I could feel it already, something major was going to happen tonight that would change my life forever.
I felt jumpy all of a sudden. My head felt dizzy but a scent came across my nose, one I had never smelt before. I sniffed harder to get more of this delicious scent.
As though I were being controlled by magic, my feets started moving on their own. I was getting closer and closer to the delicious scent with every step I took.
The scent was getting stronger and stronger and I knew without doubt that I was closer to it.
I suddenly hit my head on a wall I didn't notice was there. I opened my eyes and instead of a wall, I was met with someone's chest.
I stepped back and cleared my throat to apologize.
"Mate."
Huh
"Mate." He repeated and I raised my head to meet the gaze of the most handsome person I had ever set my eyes on. He was exactly the kind of person I had spent my nights dreaming of spending eternity with.
Wait! He just called me his mate? I have finally found my mate!! I screamed inwardly.
For a minute, I was lost in his green eyes that spoke of mystery.
"Mate," I said as though I were under a spell. Well, I was under the spell of his beautiful eyes.
I don't know how long I had stared at him, lost in his forest green eyes. The hold they had on me when I felt something claw at my hand.
I looked down at my hand to find his fingers plucking into my skin. I raised my teary eyes to meet the eyes that held adoration in them a moment ago just to meet nothing but disgust, disdain, and contempt.
He pulled me roughly by my poor hands.
Tears filled my eyes as I tried to stop him from hurting me by removing his fastened fingers from my arm but he wasn't having it, instead, he increased the pressure of his fingers.
When he finally let go of me, he pushed me so hard that I fell to the ground bringing down the small decorated table that had a tray of wine glasses on it.
In the process of that, the content of the glass spilled all over my light blue gown. All eyes were on me. I didn't need to lift my face to know that I had suddenly become the center of attention.
I could feel their judging eyes boring holes into my skin but I refused to let the tears drop. I had promised myself over the shallow grave I dug for my parents to never let someone else make me cry and I wasn't going to break that promise now.
Mate or not!
I picked myself up from the ground and dared to look into the eyes of the one that was meant to protect me. The adoring look I had seen was gone with no traces.
Eleanor's POV"I Ethan Raymond of Crystal Pack reject you… what's your name?"He was rejecting me before we even got to know each other? Right in front of all these people? I wished the ground would open and swallow me.I pursed my lips not only because I didn't want to tell him, I knew that the moment I opened my mouth, I would lose the last bit of control I have."What's your name?" He thundered grabbing me by the same arm not caring about the pain he was subjecting me to."Eleanor Stefan of the Red Crimson pack." Someone said I didn't need to look at the person to know who said it. Of course, it had to be her. Kaitlyn!He nodded and pushed me away from him as though I were a plaque. I landed my butt on the ground again."I Ethan Raymond of Crystal pack reject your lowly life Eleanor disgusting Stefan of the Red Crimson pack as my mate." He said and I closed my eyes waiting for the pains that usually come with rejection to take over me."Complete the rejection process bitch and let
~~Eleanor's POV"Fuck me" I cursed inaudibly as my eyes met his.His Auburn hair, deep blue eyes like the depth of the ocean, lips hot and sexy like the color of ketchup which I badly want to taste.My fingers instinctively tightened around his shirt. I was hot, I felt an attraction with this guy, an attraction that made me wet within seconds.His cologne sweeping through my nose wasn't helping things.I was a little tipsy from the alcohol I drank at my table but I cared less.He suddenly pulled me up. I was standing properly now but he wasn't letting go of my waist.He pulled me closer to his body and I notice the slight smell of alcohol.I needed him badly. How could just the sight of him get me so wet?I looked back into his eyes and could see vividly well that he also wanted me.I felt tingles in my lower stomach. But hell, I almost lost it when his lips came down hard on mine.I reciprocated immediately, letting out a little moan as his tongue slide into my mouth. His mouth taste
MOONLIGHT PACK ~~~~Alpha DerekI'm finally back to my pack after my two-day visit to Red Crimson Pack. It would have been a meaningless visit but my last night at the pack was a memorable one.I fucked a random girl but damn, I had never felt so attracted to any girl in my life. She stirred something inside me and fucking her was something I never wanted to stop. I had to stop thinking over a mere lowly wolf and focus on my duties."Alpha Derek, you have a call" Lucas, my Beta informed and I nodded once before heading to my study.Moonlight pack has been in chaos for the past two years before the former Alpha, my father died. He had a dispute with the dark witch and she ended up placing a curse on the Moonlight pack.I had trusted him to find a solution on how to lift the curse but he died eight months ago after getting affected by the curse. Many citizens had died over time but I was still stuck at finding the answer that would lift the curse.After several searches and findings, A
~~Eleanor's POVI slowly peeled my eyes open and I felt so cold that I had to curl up tightly as cold raked through my body.I opened my eyes completely to get a hold of what was going on, and I couldn't believe I was locked up in an ice room. Tears formed in my eyes rapidly as I shivered.He locked me in an ice room, naked and sore. "Could he be meaner?" I wondered hurtfully as my thoughts wandered to my pack, my classmates and all.I should totally get my mind off school for now; I can't even afford going to school anyways. I was so cold that my teeth started clamping together but I had to endure a little more."Is anyone out there?" I called as loud as my voice could bear, but I knew fully well that I wouldn't be heard except the person passes through the ice room."Please, help me" I pleaded as my eye lid started shutting on its own. It felt like my intestines and liver are all frozen.I couldn't save myself and no one was ready to save me, all I could do was to pray to the Moon g
~~Eleanor's POVI peeled my eyes open slowly and I was finally seeing a strange ceiling and a cute florescent light above my face.I recalled drifting off to unconsciousness in the ice room and I almost laughed at myself. I was finally dead and this is afterlife, I guess.I scanned the room briefly but why is it looking so real? I was still wondering when a voice interrupted me."You're awake!" I heard beside me and I faced the direction of the sound immediately, only to see an elegant lady sitting by the side of the bed with worry written on her face.I knew it! I'm presently in the afterlife. I thank the Moon goddess for giving me someone who cares in my afterlife. I thought to myself smiling inwardly until she finally held my hand."You must have been so scared to be alone and so bare in the ice room" the lady said and I pursed my lips."Wait! Am I still alive?" I found myself asking no one in particular."Yes, you are" the lady replied and I blinked severally."Then why are you so
~~Laura's POV"What's going on? Why is Eleanor still in there" I asked myself and tiptoed to the door. I placed my ears to listen for any sound but I got none."Eleanor!" I called silently my hands tapping the door but I still couldn't make out a sound from the bathroom."Should I just go in?" I asked no one in particular then I shook my head once. She might hate any kind of intrusion to her privacy.I pushed the door open, regardless and peeped in but I was welcomed by a very shocking scene."How the hell could she comfortably sleep in the bathroom, I mean, bathtub?" I almost yelled but then the sight of her in the bathtub was so appealing, and I could finally see why Ethan was so after her. She's beautiful and simple, the only problem is just that she was Wolfless.I snapped my fingers and she was taken to the bed instantly with the duvet around her body. I emptied the bathtub and did the necessary things before heading to my study.~~Ethan's POVI couldn't get my head off Laura and
~~Eleanor's POVI got into the room with the guard but he left almost immediately, leaving me to the darkness of the room. I was too scared to move as much as a finger.I stood there rooted to a spot as I waited for any sound at all. I sensed a presence behind me and a brief glint of smoke passed through my nostrils.I didn't need a preacher to tell me who it was. I knew immediately that it would be Ethan. I sensed his cologne and could see the anger that radiated through his eyes as he moved to stand in front of me."Please help me" I prayed silently as I knew immediately that he lingering around me in this gravely dark room meant disaster.If there's one talent I ever had, it is being able to read through one's eyes, I could tell a certain feeling from each other once my eyes met anyone's. That's what the Moon goddess gave me in place of a wolf. I wish I could reverse the hand of time and go back to when that stranger was still in my house.He could have waited for me to come back fr
~~Eleanor's POVI was unaware of what Ethan was putting on my wounds but it hurt like crazy and I didn't even have the strength to scream. My face heated with hot tears and I kept making painful sounds but he didn't give a damn.By the time he was done applying whatever it was, my eyes slowly went shut as all my body trembled in pain. I caught a glimpse of him standing up, but I couldn't see anything else after that.He muttered some things but I couldn't hear what he said. I could only make out the world 'Fully Mine' from his last words before unconsciousness swept me off my feet. ~~~Laura's POVI kept pacing to and fro in my study. The jerk wouldn't let me out but I'll leave on my own accord very soon. How dare he go into my room without my permission? I'll make it even after saving Eleanor from him this time.I hurriedly went to my desk and picked up a little piece of paper and drafted some notes to assure Eleanor that I'll save her no matter what.I finally broke out of the room
