AXEL

As the door closed behind her, I justified her fate to myself. My eyes remained fixed on the empty space, my mind eerily blank, as if the void in front of me had sucked out all thought.

I drew a deep breath, the unexpected turn of events catching me off guard.

My prey had turned out to be a captivating prize, her beauty illuminated under the moon's gentle glow.

Yet, with thirty days to secure my objective, I was resolute in my commitment to my father and myself – every word spoken would be binding, every promise made would be fulfilled.

The knock at the door soured my expression, and I assumed it was Eliana on the other side. The scowl on my face was a reflex, born from the knowledge that seeing her would only prolong the mental image of her that I was trying to shake.

"Come in," I said, my voice detached. The door creaked open, and my furrowed brow relaxed slightly as I saw Tom standing there, his face etched with concern. The look in his eyes was enough to tell me that somethi

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    On His Chest

    ELIANAThe ride back was calm, not because I lacked words or didn't want to talk, but because my mind was elsewhere.My thoughts were a jumbled mess, consumed by the desperate need to convince Gabriel that Axel loved me, even though a part of me knew it was a lie I was telling myself as much as him.But I desperately needed to prove it to him - that Axel's love was real, that I was worthy of it. Gabriel's words had cut deep, leaving me feeling like I didn't deserve to exist, like I was somehow less than, unworthy of love or happiness. Maybe he was right, maybe I wasn't good enough, but the thought of accepting that was unbearable. I had to prove him wrong, had to show him that I was more than what he saw me as. The need to prove it burned inside me, overshadowing everything else, even the things that should have mattered more. It was a maddening obsession, one that consumed me, drove me to find a way, any way, to make Gabriel see what wasn’t existing- that Axel loved me, and I was w

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Invitation

    ELIANA"My mind was racing with possibilities, consumed by the endless what-ifs. What could Vivian be hiding? What did Axel know that I didn't? The more I thought about it, the more my thoughts spiralled out of control. I felt like I was stuck in a maze with no exit, every door I opened leading to more questions. The worst part was the feeling of being in the dark, like I was the only one who didn't know what was going on. It seemed like everyone else was in on some secret, and I was just a pawn in their game. The thought sent a chill down my spine. Was I being manipulated?"He's in a discussion with the elders of the pack," she said, but even I could tell it was a lie. The words sounded rehearsed, lacking the sincerity that would have made them believable. I studied her face, searching for any hint of truth, but her eyes darted around the room, avoiding mine. The look on Axel's face said he wasn't buying it either. His eyes had narrowed, his brow furrowed in skepticism. He seemed to

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Facade

    ELIANA“Oh, hello dear,” I drawled, the sweetness in my tone dripping with sarcasm. She thought she could always toy with me, push me around like a pawn on her chessboard, but today was different. Today, I was ready to show her that I wouldn't be messed with, that I wouldn't be her doormat anymore.Her face was a picture of surprise, like she'd never heard me talk back before. I felt like I'd won the lottery, and my confidence was through the roof. I basked in the glory of standing up for myself, even if it was just for that one moment.“You look stunning,”she said, her voice laced with a sweetness that made my teeth ache. But I wasn't fooled – I saw the condescension lurking behind her words, the subtle dig that made me wonder if she was genuinely trying to compliment me or just manipulate me. I knew her game, and I wasn't buying it. The phrase 'you look stunning' sounded more like a backhanded compliment, a way to make me feel good about myself while subtly reinforcing her own supe

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Her Again

    ELIANAAs I walked out of the restroom, I could sense Gabriel's gaze following me, his eyes lingering on me even though I wasn't looking directly at him. I could almost picture the smug, annoying smile spreading across his face, a familiar and infuriating sight."You spent so much time, I was almost getting worried," Axel said to me as I returned to the event center, his voice tinged with concern.I bit back a smile, hearing that he'd expressed worry about me. Maybe I was reading too much into it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it meant more than it seemed. The thought lingered.I hated how little words of his made me feel - like a flutter in my chest, a warmth that spread through my veins, and a sense of being seen that I'd never experienced before. It was as if he had this uncanny ability to tap into emotions I thought I'd long buried, emotions I'd never even acknowledged to myself. Those few words, casually spoken, somehow managed to unravel me, leaving me feeling exposed

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Confused

    ELIANAThe thought sent a wave of anxiety through me. I had dug myself into a hole, and now I had to figure out how to get out of it without getting caught. Keeping up with the lie would require careful planning, quick thinking, and a lot of luck. I wasn't sure if I was up for the challenge, but I knew I had to try. The question was, how could I sustain this facade without losing my grip on reality?My mind was a whirlwind of different ideas, each one swirling around me like a vortex, pulling me in different directions. Some ideas seemed plausible, like stepping stones across a rushing river, promising a safe passage to the other side. Others, however, were far-fetched, like grasping at wisps of smoke that vanished into thin air the moment I thought I had a hold of them. As I stood there, mentally juggling these ideas, I felt like a juggler trying to keep too many balls in the air at once. Some ideas dropped to the ground, shattering into a hundred pieces, while others seemed to hover

  • The Alpha's Rejection, The King's Obsession    Trapped

    ELIANA"I am not done with you," he said, his voice low and even, without a hint of anger or frustration. Yet, the words themselves carried a sense of finality, a warning that this conversation was far from over. He didn't raise his voice, but the calmness of his tone only made me feel more uneasy. As he spoke, his gaze roamed over me, from head to toe, with an intensity that made my skin prickle. It was as if he was taking stock of every detail about me, every curve and contour, every aspect of my appearance. I felt exposed, like I was standing in front of him without any defenses. The scrutiny was unnerving, and I shifted uncomfortably, trying to break free from his grip. But he held tight, his fingers still wrapped around my arm, a gentle but firm reminder that he wasn't letting me go anywhere. "I want us to talk," he added, his eyes locking onto mine once more. The words were simple, but the way he said them, the way he looked at me, made it clear that this wasn't a request. It w
