CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
ELIJAH'S POV
Mum Ella and I are seated at the dinning about to eat dinner and with the way mum is looking at Ella, I'm scared that she might swallow her any time soon.
I won't have a problem if she does that.
Now I understand why mum used to look at her with contempt.
Now I understand why mother hates her so much. She has a repulsive character and i can bet my life that she takes lessons from the devil.
Right now I can't even look at her in the face because I hate her so much, I don't been know why she's still here.

CHAPTER ONE ELIJAH’S POV The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first. My father loved that statement and I think I’m going to adopt it. Ten years. Ten solid years, we have been oppressed by the West Wing Pack. Their Alpha was a heartless man. He always sent his soldiers to come to our pack and abduct our young maidens so he could turn them into servants in his pack. Whenever he had a building project, he would order my father to provide laborers for him and my father had no choice but to obey him else a much more catastrophic fate will befall us. We lived in fear and always wondered what his next move would be. I can still recall a time when that Alpha had ordered my father and I to his pack and when we got there, he asked us to work in his farmlands. Such humiliation.. He never cared about the fact that my father was an Alpha and needed to be feared, he always treated my father like a pi
CHAPTER TWOELIJAH’S POVThe rowdy hall becomes silent once more as I walk into the hall with my poker face on.The only thing I can smell is Cassie’s pheromone and it’s raiding my mind. I can’t even think straight.I look at Ella who has on a confused look and smile at her.She might not be my mate and I might not have the strong connection with her, but I have chosen her. I will marry her and I will learn to love her.“Okay” I speak once more as I dislocate the mic from it’s stand.My eyes meet for a brief second with Cassie’s, but I tear my gaze away from hers and focus on the crowd.I need to focus!“Okay! I’m back. Let’s continue from where we stopped. As I was saying, this meeting is being held virtue of my mother, I would have so loved to enslave all of you, but for her sake, I have decided to pardon you all and let you live freely under my rule. Lo
CHAPTER THREEELIJAH’S POVI’ve had to go through the most difficult moment in my life this morning.Cassie arrived earlier than expected and I was as shocked as hell. I thought I was going to resort to violence before getting her out of her pack, but I was shocked when she showed up by herself this morning with puffy and red eyes which proved that she had been crying all the way here.She didn’t resist when she was being taken to the dungeon and that was hard for me to watch.I wanted her to cause a scene, to throw a female Alpha version of a tantrum as they bundled and took her to the dungeon, but none of that happened. She was so calm and cooperative that it got me scared.What exactly is her plan?Did she come with a grenade that she intends to make it explode and kill us all while in our sleep? I really want to know what plans she had up her sleeves.Her pheromone did let me have peace either, it kept fee
CHAPTER FOURELLA’S POVI am living the life every girl in this pack probably wants to live.Living in a big castle, having maids attend to me whenever I want and being engaged to the Alpha of our pack. I didn’t ask for this, it just came to me and I do not intend to let it go.I still remember the first day Alpha Elijah and I had our first conversation. We met at my mate’s funeral. He died of a deadly disease about last year. I was crying and Alpha Elijah came to comfort me and I guess that’s when it occurred to him that I was the one for him.He invited me over for dinner the next day at his castle and I did not hesitate to say yes. I can still remember how I couldn’t get the thought off my mind all night. I even bought a new dress to wear to that dinner.On that fateful evening, he sent his driver to come pick me up in one of his cars and I remember I almost blushed my life away.
CHAPTER FIVEELIJAH’S POV“Mum said that to you?” I ask in anger and Ella silently nods her head with a sad look on.She just told me that my mum attacked her and said really mean things to her and I just can’t take it in anymore.I can take her not liking Ella, but disrespecting her is going way over board and I’m not going to let that slide.“I’m gonna go talk to her”“No Elijah, that won’t be necessary. Let’s just let it slide. I promise I’m good”“But I’m not, this has got to stop. I’m not going to let her disrespect you, not now, not ever!” I scold as I storm out of my bedroom and stride over to my mother’s chambers.All my life, I have loved and respected her, considered her decisions, but right now, I won’t take her disrespect.Ella is soon going to be my wife and Luna of this pack, she has to learn to
CHAPTER SIXELIJAH’S POVI walk out of the dungeon premises, fuming in rage.Who the hell does Cassie think she is. First, her pheromone won’t let me think straight, the mate bond keeps pulling me to her and now, she just proved that she is a hard but to crack.I hate her.I hate her for challenging me and I’m going to make her suffer.I go over to my chambers to talk with Ella. I need to tell her to avoid going to see Cassie in that dungeon because I’m scared of what she(Cassie) might do to her(Ella).Cassie is an Alpha and if she gets a hold of Ella even once, she will rip her into pieces before anyone can come to her rescue, so she needs to be avoided.When I get into our bedroom, I see Ella comfortably seated on a couch in the sitting area, reading a magazine and I remember what Cassie said about getting something for her to do because she idles a lot.Ever since Ella got here, she hasn’
CHAPTER SEVEN ELIJAH'S POV Apologizing to Ella last night for my mother's behavior was not an easy task. She(Ella) was so mad that she didn't want to hear anything I had to say. I had to make a lot of promises before she even listened to me, but the most important thing is that we are fine now. I honestly don't know how to make peace between my mother and Ella. They are both the most important women in my life and right now, I badly need them to be united, but it seems to be a mission impossible. I honestly don't know what to do. Right now I'm in my office, signing paperwork and scheduling meetings for the week. Adapting to this hectic work was easy because while growing up, my father made sure I was by his side all the time in order to get versed with the way things were done around here. I always complained about not having e
CHAPTER EIGHTELIJAH'S POVI know better than to not release Cassie tonight. Mother will throw a Luna version of a crazy tantrum if I don't do that and that is the last thing I want to happen.I hate the situation I currently find myself in right now. Mother wants me to release Cassie and have her work as a maid instead, but Ella doesn't want her here at all. She (Ella) believes that Cassie's pheromone will have some influence over me, but I know myself and when I say it won't, it definitely won't!This is just a difficult phase and I'm going to overcome it.As I walk along the hallway in the dungeon leading to Cassie's cell, I know I'm getting closer when her pheromone hits my nostrils hard. I freeze on my tracks and take it all in with my eyes closed. It smells like Vanilla cream, mixed with strawberries. Its so captivating and right now, my legs want me to fly over to he
