บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Pampered Wolfless Mate : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Xander's POV I walked out of the meeting so angry that I had to shut my wolf out. I don’t even know how I managed to get back to the pack house with the way my body was shaking from rage.Just yesterday, I let my anger over Jason cause a fight between me and Elise. And now this. Sometimes it felt like I was the one making her go through all this chaos.I didn’t shift. I actually ran in my human form back to the pack house. I just needed to see Elise, hold her, and tell her everything was going to be okay even if I wasn’t sure it would be.“Elise?” I called out as I pushed through the front door. But no one answered.I’d even checked the pack halls before coming here, hoping I’d find her reading her favorite book like she does every night.I checked every room, growing more frantic with each empty space. Her scent was faint, like she’d been gone for hours. My wolf was going crazy, pacing and growling inside my head.Where the hell was she?I tried to mind-link her, but she was silent.

Xander Pov Holy shit."What the hell?" The words came out as a growl as I shifted back to human form, my body shaking as I tried to take in the scene before me.Six dead men lying around like discarded toys, and right in the middle of it all was Elise, looking lifeless but untouched."Elise!" I wanted to run to her, but something made me freeze. The whole scene was so fucking wrong it made my skin crawl.The men looked like they'd been torn apart by something savage. Their bodies were twisted in ways that made my stomach turn, limbs bent at impossible angles. Deep gashes covered their skin, and the smell of blood was everywhere..My heart was beating so hard I thought it might explode. "What the fuck happened here?" I whispered, my voice barely audible in the eerie silence.I took a careful step closer, studying the bodies. They weren't rogues I could tell from their scent but they weren't from my pack either. "Did... did they hurt her?" The thought made rage flare in my chest,

Xander PovElise was there, waiting for me. " I miss you, Baby Wolfie. Are you still angry at your kitten?"Her voice sounded sexy, as if she was hellbent on teasing me. This was definitely another side of Elise. The one I know was always shy.I bite down on my rushing urge, all my exhaustion vanishing into the air. Her smile alone was worth more than ten aphrodisiac." Elise..."" You don't have to be worried about me. Amma said I fainted due to exhaustion. I am perfectly fine now. I just miss you. I wanted to make it up to you. Are you still angry with me?"" You shouldn't be putting on something so light. You—" She wore a black lace lingerie set that made her look like a goddess, a vision of beauty. Her silver eyes sparkle like diamonds in the moonlight, shining bright with a hint of mischief. I swallowed hard, staring at her.Her long, silver hair waved down her back like a river of moonlight, framing her heart-shaped face and accentuating her sharp cheekbones. “Elise,” I breat

Elise's POV I tried to open my eyes, shrinking back at the sharp rays piercing through it. The banging head wasn't making me feel any better. I felt dizzy, at the same time a connection to Alba. "Alba!" I called out, softly. I was greeted with silence, once again. Deep dark silence that seemed to shattered the slight ray of light. My head hurts so badly. I tried desperately to call my wolf, but it's silence was deafening. It seemed like I was hallucinating. The flashes of a white wolf tearing through those men, ruthlessly. It was all but a figment of my imagination. How could Alba had come out when I already failed to keep the end of the bargain? Those men must have captured me. I was still reeling from the sharpness of the sunlight when my gaze fell on a rather familiar place. Wait, this was definitely not a stranger's abode. I was still in Moonsville and I was in Amma's hut. How the hell did I get to this place? The last thing I remembered vividly, apart from the flashes, was

Elise's POV My hands trembled as I read the letter again, each word feeling like a knife twisting deeper into my chest. My dearest Alia, How long did you think you could run from me? Sixteen years I've searched for you, my little devil. The power that courses through your veins belongs to me, just as YOU belong to me. I know about your little Alpha mate Xander. I wonder how you'll scream when I tear his throat out in front of you. You have until the next full moon to come to me willingly. If you don't, I'll paint the Moonsville Pack with blood, starting with your precious mate. Just like that fateful day... You remember, little devil? That claw that slashed through me was our connection. I've waited sixteen years to claim you. I won't wait much longer. Your future mate, Drake The paper crumpled in my fist as rage and terror warred inside me. "You!" I screamed at her, tears streaming down my face. "You're working with him, aren't you?" The witch eyes flashed dangerously. "
