Chapter 25.Elena POV I woke up with a slight pant, my chest rising and falling. I was covered in sweat, it was difficult moving on. That's not waking up every day with a remnant of my past haunting me.My mom's grave, an unknown sword that has mystical words engraved on it, which I found myself chanting several times in my dream, but wouldn't dare to in reality, not if I remember those words.A silver wolf with golden eyes calling up to me, his burning eyes filled with pleas and desires staring and craving my presence……It was either this or the night I escaped that dungeon, the images I captured and registered in my brain that got me broken into pieces. It all seemed I was born to suffer, I could barely have a whole night to myself without a nice sleep.I left my world that possessed everything I ever owned and my wants, I hope Mom could forgive me for taking this offer. It was the last choice I had left.When I thought, my world was going to emed there and then, he appeared-built a
Chapter 24.Liam's.“I have no idea what you meant or what you're talking about.”She said in between her pants, her laboured breath coming with her heaving chest while she strode backward, moving away from the gate deep, escaping me.“Really? Or are you just trying to defend yourself?” I said in a flat tone, my tone resonating the rage surging through me, which I tried to conceal and control.“My Dad wouldn't let you off the hook if anything happens to me!”“Is that a threat?” I said, now on stance and locking my murderous gaze with her.She fell to her knees, hugging herself to stabilize her trembling.I smirked at the impact of my aura, and I would use it to my advantage.“I promise not to use any of that on you, but that will depend on your cooperation.”“I promise, it was all Maya’s plan, she used the syrup on her…..Yeah, I wanted you, but I planned to make her reject you…. nothing more.”I creased my brow in disgust, irritation setting in while I scrutinized her from head to toe
Chapter 23.Author’s.The mystical sword yields the archaic power of Seraphina, Elena's mother.

It was father's wish to finish with this, he had always had everything ready just the same way he was playing the Crystal pack.It was strange that he went through with my advice not to shed blood, even though the alternative was totally not my idea.Dad had called me and Ethan into his Study room, and we got there earlier than the time. I felt at ease with myself, deep down, I knew this was going to be in Ethan, and not me.My tousled hair slicked to the back, resonating the authority and command I control. I stride forward into the pack house, ignoring the murmurs going behind me.We met with Mom at the entrance, who received me with a warm embrace, and with surprise, she did the same with Ethan.“What’s wrong?” Ethan mouth
Chapter 21.Liam's.“You are late Son, your Father -”“....Will be very angry, do not test his patience” I completed my mom's statement, cutting her short.This had always been her wish now- following the rules and respecting every decision made without questioning.

Chapter 20.Liam's It has been a week since I had my eyes set on Elera. I felt like a fool, it was my mistake for letting her go that night, this is the uptenth time in the past two weeks that I have blamed myself.“This is a game of the mind that I can never win.”I was just a prawn in my dad's game and till he got tired of using me, that's when he would stop tormenting me.I stood on my ground that night. I had left the Crescent moon pack without Elera though, I failed the promise I made to myself. I failed my wolf.The scene I failed to delete from my memories crawl onto the surface -the dungeon was stained with Elera’s blood but with her far gone and Bianca with some scratches.They made a claim that got me speechless. “Liam Alexander?” Without looking up, I could point out who it was. “Isabella?”I was forced to comply with the rule or drown in it. My father could be fierce and dangerous when it comes to his selfish plot. It has been decided already, I am getting married to
Chapter 19.Elera's.My initial plan was to run off, run as far as my plan could keep me but the conditions started the moment I had it done.I felt my heart prickled, it hurt to admit I had to give up on what I had always wanted.He put me in this and I knew it would be fair if I survived on the expense of what I had for him. He never seemed to care after all.I mustered the energy left in me, picked myself up. The clothes were closed to dry while I shivered in the cold. His voice caught me up in my stance, I wanted to escape the echoes of his voice. It wasn't clear enough to catch on with the information that was being shared, but I knew it was from him at least the voices were cleared to know it was from him. The energy I mustered to hold still to the bar metal flushed off in me, I slumped down behind the gate backing it for support.The images of his smile, the desires in his eyes which I thought of as affection but turned out to be pity, the gentleness in his voice trying to so
Chapter 18.Elera's The soft gasped escaped my throat, I was gasping for air to cover the debted one. I noticed the dampness in my clothes, it was from my sweat.I felt some drop in my temperature but had to ignore it. I wished I could escape the state I was in. I couldn't check the time but with the moonlight carved to its crescent, losing its luminous intensity almost got concealed by the sky…I predicted it to be late night.I was shivering in the cold, the chill seeping through my skin sending goosebumps all over me.I had it again, the same dream I had when I was with Liam- The thought of Liam crossed my mind and I was quick to shook it off- She was covered in a white attire, one of her best clothes she always loves to wear if not her warrior outfit. This time it stayed a few minutes longer before she dissolved into mist.I felt bad, my eyes moistened with tears, the urgeness that follows the needs of wrapping myself up in her and dwelling in that solace but it seemed the clear
Chapter 17."She is in pain!" Ezra whimpered in grunt, he wasn't in pain but I could feel the heat of his rage leaking through the bond we shared.Another grunt stirred within me, he was trying to fight for control -the urgeness to take over and give our mate the best protection I couldn't afford, agitatedly looking forward to claiming what is ours.I had just proclaimed her mine in front of Sophia and I realized that had turned the heat between us down and it seemed that was the reason he had given me that chance to weigh out his options in dominating and coming to the surface.I pulled him back on track but not without letting out that aura, pheromone from the pure breed Alpha, enough to turn the pack members to their knees.We are stronger than the Crescent pack when it comes to strength and connections. We had an upper hand after they suffered from the death of Seraphina and since then, they haven't gotten any replacement, they are nothing compared to us. We solve the minorities
