★ELAINE★Attaining orgasm, I arched high, letting out a loud moan alongside. Alpha Damon also came because he mumbled my name beneath his breath, came undone then collapsed on me. He rolled over to his side, watching me, while I turned my back towards him. The guilt was slowly setting in. How could I have done this with him? I swore to hate him for the rest of my life and here I was letting him into my bed. I jumped into his arms without thinking and I felt like a cheapskate for it. “I love you, Elaine.” His deep voice rang into my ears and my stomach tightened into a knot. To be honest, I didn't know how to respond to him. I didn't know what I felt for him, but it was definitely not love. Tears gathered in my eyes and I sniffled, trying my best not to cave into my tumultuous nerves. I am such a dirty, cheap, two-timing bitch! I scolded myself over and over again. “Elaine.” Alpha Damon touched my arm. “I said I'm in love with you.” “And I am not!” I fired back out of fury. A

★ELAINE★A loud blast of horn pitch filled the atmosphere, motioning the preparation for another competition stage. Amy issued me a knowing look. “I will get you the proper fit to wear, my Lady.” She said, scrambling off to my closet immediately. While I pulled myself out of the bed and let out a weary yawn. “You can do this today, Elaine,” I told myself over and over again as Amy helped me get dressed then we strolled out of the dorm to the courtyard. The Alpha queen and the rest of the jury were already present. Other female competitors came after me and soon, we were complete.Alpha Damon and I locked gaze for a moment and his face contorted into a scowl. What did I expect after calling him a monster? Perhaps, it was better this way, I thought to myself. His eyes bore into mine for more seconds, then he tore them away from me and directed his gaze somewhere else. “Today is all about showcasing your strength as usual. But hence in a different style. You are going to morph into

★ELAINE★I scanned around frantically in search of Tania. “Enid please where is she? I wasn't done speaking to her.” Enid gazed at me with pity then raised her wand to conjure up some spells. “The line between the living and dead isn't waning. You might want to share everything with her quickly to avoid this happening again.” Nodding in response, I clasped my fingers together, waiting to see Tania one more time. In a short span of thirty seconds, she was crouching down right in front of me, in the exact position she was before her disappearance. “Oh goodness, I thought I lost you there, Tania.” I fretted. “You did, Elaine. I don't have much time, but I'll willing to discuss everything until you are satisfied before leaving.” she offered and I smiled. “Thank you so much, Tania.” “However.....” Her voice trailed off. “I cannot tell you the secret Beta Adrian has been hiding because fate has the way it will turn out, so just be patient,” Tania advised. “That is not a problem,” I

★ELAINE★Not wanting to reveal the truth to Alpha Damon anymore, I decided to change the narrative into something else. “It is about Tara.” I began. “Tara?" He queried, looking quizzically at me. “Who is that?" “The lady locked away in the dungeon for killing Joanna. Is there something I can do to save her?” I asked, hoping he would give me a positive response. In truth, I have always felt pity for Tara. She has been in that dungeon for close to three days now and I wonder how miserable she must be feeling at the moment. Alpha Damon's brows angled with a deep frown. “Why do you want to save her? Isn't she the lady that almost put you in trouble? Have you forgotten your ordeal so soon?" I heaved a deep sigh. “All those things happened because they were meant to be. Tara shouldn't be held accountable for this, so please let's save her.” “Do you know what you are asking me, Elaine?" He snorted in disbelief. “You are asking me to save a murderer from being persecuted. She killed th

★ELAINE★Unfortunately for me, the more step I took toward the mountain, the farther it became.My frustration was starting to set in and my patience was hanging by a tiny line of thread. A part of me wondered if one of the female competitors had gotten to the mountain already and a painful jab struck across my gut. I could not imagine the despair I'd feel if someone had gotten the title while I suffered, trying. Just then thunder clapped, a heavy downpour rained on me and I cussed out in frustration. “Oh, crap! It can't get any worse. Can it?" Although my body was soaked from head to toe, I kept on moving. Rain has nothing on me when I have something to prove. I reassured myself over and over again. Taking the left direction that seemed more favorable, I noticed something burning and rustling among the bushes and when I peered over, a teenage girl was sitting beside a bonfire with a stick in her hand. Holy crap! How could a fire be burning brightly underneath heavy rainfall?
