Elise's POV " You slimy bitch! How dare you seduce my mate!" Lilith's voice rang out in jealousy, rather than anger.Great, just great. Of all the people I expected to see, it wasn't her. My perfect sister stood there with fury blazing in her eyes, her blonde hair perfectly styled even though she'd just slapped me hard enough to make my ears ring.The stinging sensation on my cheek was nothing compared to the rage building inside me. I could feel my blood boiling as I stared at her, my hands clenched into fists at my sides.Humiliation of the past kept flooding in. There was something other than my anger too. It was Alba. I could feel her rage. Biting back my anger, it took all my inner force to push Alba back into her hidden state. No one must know I have a wolf. Not them, especially. Not after I saw part of the letter. "Surprised to see me, wolfless Luna?" Lilith's voice was dripping with venom. She looked proud of
Elise Pov I held my breath, my heart pounding in my chest as my ears caught a familiar voice. It was my father and he was back. As my raced mind kept racing nonstop, my eyes caught a perfect escape route.I remained perfectly still while my mind raced uncontrollably. I slowly and quietly moved to the side of the curtains and when I saw my chance, I sprang into action, darting to the side of the curtain that was slightly opened. I grabbed the window latch as I managed to open it just as my father's voice boomed in the study. " Show yourself!"Show myself? Not in the slightest!Without hesitation, I climbed out the window and dropped down to the ground. I landed softly on the grass and took off in a sprint, not daring to look back. I could hear my father's angry voice as he cursed.I didn't dare slow down.I ran as fast as I could, my lungs burning and my legs aching. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew
Elise Pov Lucia Everett.That's what the palace maids called the seductive woman. The other day, I overheard them calling a name and it was definitely not Lucia. It seemed the women flocking towards Xander was nothing but few. It was obvious, however, that the pack members would accept anyone, no matter who they were, anyone except me as the Luna and mate to their beloved Alpha.Wolfless. Hated.They all hated me except for my mate who adores me. I could literally say that he worships the very air I breath and every sound of my steps. Xander loves me so much that I felt safe in his embrace. Even in his words.But I couldn't help but feel insecured. Threatened, too. Around the women who all wanted him. Jason's betrayal made me think twice before putting all my trust in men. Would Xander also chose someone else because of my weakness?" Alba, I need to train harder. You need to be stronger so everyone can see you..." I m
Xander Pov My hand slipped through her dress, working my ways towards her boobs. Just then, she pushed my hands away." Xander, who was that woman that came to the training ground?" I stopped midway, cursing silently at Lucia. Why the hell would she come at such a time? Elise must have heard whispers in the palace or even from Ryker. " She is just an envoy. From one of the packs seeking alliance..."Elise scoffed, glaring at me. " Envoy? Or the perfect Luna that the pack members want?"" Elise, I swear that she is nothing more than just an envoy. I have..."" They want her because she is stronger and also have a wolf, right?”Elise’s voice was angry as she paced ahead of me, barefoot on the wooden floor. Her arms were crossed tight against her chest after she pushed me away.“Kitten, you need to trust me,” I replied, following her. “Oh, really?” she turned halfway, walking backward now. “Because last I checked, I’m a powerless werewolf girl with no inner wolf, and you...” she angr
Xander Pov My mate looked helplessly as Ryker berated her before the troops who were training. Maybe it was time to teach Ryker a lesson, not until I heard her voice again. Lucia Everett. I clenched hard at my fist, before glaring at Ryker. Why the hell did he let her into the pack after my warning? Were they so eager to pair me and this vixen? " What are you doing in my pack?" I asked, even when I knew what her answer would be. Just as I thought, she babbled about discussing alliance. Same tactics, like last time. She would have succeeded if not for my mate. With a smile etched on her face, she turned around and left as she swayed her body towards the direction of the conference hall. In silence, I carried my mate with utmost care. I wanted everyone to know how much I cherish even a shred of her hair. After dealing with Elise, I made my way towards the conference hall. I wanted to sort out the matter of Lucia as soon as possible. I mindlinked my beta and Gerald to accompany me
Elise Pov As the familiar scent hit me, I took a step back when I realised who he was. He was the same cousin who seem to hold a grudge against me, or rather the wolfless me.Ryker. That was what the warriors called him.His aura was darkening and overpowering. It looked similar to Xander, but less powerful than his. What exactly have I done wrong to piss of this ticking time bomb?If not for the familiar scent, I have the ability to sniff a person by his scent, I would have peed in my pants. I could have swore he was likely an enemy. His aura was too demeaning.By why was he in his wolf form?His growl tore the chirping sounds of the birds, making me step backwards in fright. Even if Alba was inside of me, I can't summon her. There was no way I would be able to defend myself against this scary cousin. As I continue stepping backwards, my eyes caught his fangs dripping with blood. My heart skipped two beats or more. That was blood...fresh blood which might likely be the blood of som
