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 me go." he muttered angrily.
I struggled with the gnawing pain in my chest and I got on my feet. I almost stumbled down due to the excess pain I was dealing with.
"I Eleanor Stefan of the Red Crimson pack rejects you Ethan Raymond as my mate." I sputtered trying to keep my mouth from screaming in pain.
If he felt any pain due to my rejection, then he was so damn good at hiding it.
I clutched my chest finding it hard to breathe but I wasn't going to give these devils the liberty of watching me breakdown. I struggled to walk, dragging my feet with me.
I stumbled on another table and pulled down its contents. Pieces of broken glasses pierced my skin as I tried to stand up ignoring the laughter of the people who had taken my pain and misfortune as comedy to spice their day.
I stood up. The dress was unrecognizable. It was stained with all sorts of colors. I doubt if I would ever be able to wash the stains off.
I knew that I looked like a complete mess but believe me that was the least of my problems.
Isn't my life the grandest of them all?
I struggled to get away from the ball walking in pain amid people who didn't care about me.
When I finally got outside, I rushed to the grass and puked all over them. The pain in my stomach increasing. I felt someone behind me.
I knew it was him because of his cologne.
It's painful the way I registered his cologne the moment I saw him and how comforting it is to me now.
The last thing I saw before the darkness took over was him lifting my weightless body and settling me down in his arms.
*I didn't know how long I was out but when I opened my eyes, I was forced to close them back. I opened them slowly and I stared at the ceiling with a blurry vision. It took some time but my eye eventually got used to the light.
I tried to recall what had happened and all the memories flooded back. I grimaced in pain.
I was rejected before I got to know my mate.
I sat up completely ignoring the pain I was feeling.
"I see that you are awake." His deep voice called me from the self-pity I was wallowing in.
I turned to look at him making sure that there was a full-blown scowl displayed on my face.
I watched him pour himself a drink. He took a sip of the drink then he took one step towards me.
"Look I'm sorry for what happened at the ball. I was over my head, I let what people say about you get the best part of me." He said casually and I felt the urge to slap him hard across the face.
Did he think I was going to forgive him that easily? Especially after the scene he created in front of thousands of werewolves, I hadn't met in my entire existence? Did he think I was that daft?
"Did you expect me to say that poison?" The disgusting look on his face was back and my heart ached.
"You should look at your face in the mirror. It's so freaking funny." He said in between laughter while I tried to wrap my head around what I did that was funny.
He stopped laughing and was back to being serious.
He grabbed a handful of my poor hair and pulled it forcing me to look directly into his eyes. The forest green eyes that I once adored.
"You do not deserve my poison. I wonder what the moon goddess was thinking of pairing me with someone as weak as you." He said pulling my hair harder and I struggled in vain to keep the tears off my face.
He finally let go of my hair and I ended up hitting my head on the headboard. I stiffened a cry trying hard to look as unaffected as I could.
"Well, I have a deal." He paused and watched my reaction when he saw none, he continued.
"You are quite a catch. Here it goes, you satisfy my sexual desires and I in turn will protect you.
"He said with a smile. It took me almost a minute to process what he just said and when I did, I choked on my saliva.
"You want me to become your whore?" I asked him disbelievingly.
"Yes at my beck and call and you get protection in return." He said unashamedly and I resisted the urge to puke all over him.
"No," I said firmly not hiding the disgusted look on my face.
"You don't have a choice."
"That's where you are wrong. I do and I will not give you the liberty to have me insulted at your free will" I said.
I struggled to get myself out of the stupid comfort of a bed and he watched me in amusement. I walked closer to him and stared into his eyes.
"Fuck you, Mr. Ethan," I said, giving him the middle finger. I walked out of the room.
I was done with them all. I was going to do what I wanted. I was going to show him that he is the one who doesn't deserve me. I was going to show him that I was worth more than being a whore to the mate who had rejected me without a second thought.
Even as I sat in the bar drinking, I was filled with the thought of what I was going to do.
I don't know how many bottles I had managed to drink but it was enough to wipe away the little bit of dignity that might stand in my way.
I stood up from the seat I had confined my ass in an hour ago and I staggered to the dance floor.
I almost fell but someone caught me. I breathed in his cologne and I knew that there was no going back.
"Fuck me."
~~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
Laura's POVI've been feeling too uneasy as my wolf kept telling me to save Eleanor just the way I did the first time. I found it convincing and safer than doing it without him knowing at the first instance but I had to find the key to the dark room first. Only Ethan had the key since there was no spares. I had to get it the hard way.I should allow all pressures and tension between us feel better without arousing his suspicions. Only then will I be able to steal the key.NEXT DAYI woke up late as usual but early enough to carry out my plan successfully. I'll behave like the normal clingy sister today to get what I want.I took a quick and picked out a nice casual gown as I always put on. Only the way I carry myself and my hair pins could signify that I was a royal.I went out for a little stroll after dressing up and I happened to run into Ethan."You should play hard to get" my wolf muttered and I found myself obeying.I looked away from him and made to walk away but his hand stop
