Elena
While I was still shocked, the maid does the sleeve quickly, then runs out of the room before I could say anything. I pace the room, worried that she might have just said that so that I do not kill her in this room and when she comes back. She will be with warriors, and they will kill me before avenging my parents.“Stupid, stupid, stupid Elena!” I scold myself for being stupid and not acting quickly enough. I go to the high window and peek outside. Even if I jump out of this window, I will break some bones when landing and they will catch me. I am on the fourth floor, for Goddess’s sake!I did not think something like this will happen and I did not plan on what to do if it did. I move away from the window and walk to the door, but before I could open it, it opens and reveals the nervous face of the maid. I move back and she comes in and then closes the door quickly behind her. She takes out a bottle with purpose liquid in it. Wolfbane. She did not go to rat me out, but went to get the wolfbane. “Are you sure about this?” I ask her and she nods. “That man took everything from me, killed my parents and many of my pack members, including my sister. He then brought me here and had his way with me until he got another and made me a servant.” The anger in her voice can not be missed. This is an angry and bitter woman and I understand her more than anymore. This man killed my parents too and many innocent people in my pack while the man who was supposed to protect them, a coward, was hiding away in his packhouse. “Do not get me wrong, being a servant is much better than being that man’s sex slave. I have been looking for the opportunity to kill him myself, but I am never assigned to him. So, I never got the chance, but you will and if you can, kill him before he ruins you.” She tells me, then goes and stands by the door. “I will keep watch. Be quick.” I nod, then take out the weapon and deep it into the wolfbane. I then cover it nicely with a cloth so that the wolfbane does not contact my skin. When I am done, I nod at her and she comes rushing and takes the wolfbane and hides it. “I will serve at the ceremony, and I will be around his floor tonight. If you do it, I will be around to help you escape.” She tells me “Thank you.” She shakes her head with teary eyes. “No, thank you. If you do this, then my parents and sister will finally rest in peace, and it will all be thanks to you. Good luck and be careful.” She tells me before dashing out of the door. I sighed and sat on the bed. Williams has ruined many people’s lives and I am sure that this maid and I are not the only people who want this man dead. But the difference is that she and I are willing to do it while the others are sitting back and waiting for the day someone kills him. I do not blame them, though; William is very ruthless and for those that tried to kill him in the past. He has made an example of them and brutally killed them to send a message to anyone that wanted to kill him. Someone like me, to tell them that he was going to kill them just like he did the first ones who tried. After killing three alphas in a row that tried, no one tried again or even dared to challenge him. The door opens again and a woman I do not recognize appears. She looks elegant and in her late forties. “Come girl, it’s time.” She tells me and I walk towards her wondering what is she doing serving a man like this. She could be a mother too and should help women like me out of situations like these but instead. She takes them to him, the monster. She walks down the hallway and I walk a little behind. “Try to keep up, will you?” she glances at me over her shoulder as she says that. I dislike her. The annoyance in her voice as she says that, is clear, and she is not trying to hide it. I walk faster to catch up with her. I do not want to ruin things now. This woman is nothing. I have bigger fish to fry, or shall I say. I have a big bad alpha to kill and the likes of her will have to wait. We walk down the stairs and into a big hall. They hat six long tables filled with people and when we walk in; the room falls into silence. Everyone is looking at me, some with pity in their eyes, and men look at me with lust. I look ahead and the bastard is sitting on his chair at the head of the middle table. He is looking right at me, the disgusting pig. We walk further into the room with the woman leading me to his side. There is an empty chair on his right and the woman leads me there. When she gets close, she bows her head. “Alpha, here she is.” She says, then gestures to the chair for me to sit. I do not take my eyes off alpha William and he does not take his off me. He's looking at me with lust in his eyes, and I am sure I am looking at him with disgust. But a pig like him won't care about that if he gets to conquer me. People resume talking, and the dinner is served. The dinner is filled with fake compliments to the alpha, and I want to just kill every one of these pretentious mother fuckers and then get the hell out of here. William is all smiles, and he accepts the compliments. They are giving him a much bigger head than he already has. The food looks good and appetizing, but I cannot eat it. How do I? the doors fly as if they were opened with force and banging on the walls. I hear whispers from everyone around. “The young alpha has arrived.” “I thought he would not attend.” Before I could listen to more of the whispers, I heard heavy footsteps coming from the other side of the table and my head snaps in that direction. My wolf was pacing in my head again and I smelled him before I saw him. His intoxicating scent was like the wind carried it to come right at me. “Mate!” Lee says, and I freeze in my seat.
Oh, dear Goddess, no, it cannot be. William’s son is my mate. He appears in my line of vision. He looks so angry right now. He is going to kill me. I grab my weapon tight; he is going to kill me. I will wait for him to strike first and fall to the ground. When William comes to check if I am still alive, I will use the opportunity to stab him in the neck.
I was already forming a plan in my head as I watched him walk to the other side of the table. He only glances at me once and averts his eyes. My wolf whimpers at the indirect rejection from our mate, but this is not the time to be thinking about that. We have a mission and this mate of ours might ruin everything.My heart is booming in my chest, and I hear it in my ears. I try to calm myself, but it is not working. He goes and stands next to his frowning father. “I am sorry to interrupt this auspicious occasion. I am not here to attend but to challenge you alpha John Williams for the alpha position of the Blood Moon pack. Do you accept?”
William smirks when he hears that. “Oh, son, I see you think you have grown now, but I want you to remember what happened the last time you challenged me for the position.” My mate, whose name I do not know. Yet. Clenched his fists when his father said that and whatever happened the last time is still fresh in his mind. I can see, even though he is trying to hide it.
“I do not live in the past, unfortunately. Now, do you accept the challenge, John?” William looked pissed by this, but he stood and faced his son. “Remember, you asked for it. This time the battle is to the death. I will not be challenged by my own son. We fight tomorrow morning.” My mate smirks.Jake I watched as the son of a bitch I call a father leave the hall with so much arrogance. I cannot wait for tomorrow so that I can kill him, and the war can stop. This man let my mother die and has the audacity to keep bringing women here. Parading them around as Luna like my mother meant nothing. Tomorrow will not be like the other times I challenged him for the position, and it certainly will not be like the time when I was twelve and he almost killed me. No, it will not be like any of those times. Now I am ready for him. My uncle Martin trained me well. I owe everything to that man. If it were not for him, I am sure I would have turned out exactly like that bastard. The mating ceremony is now ruined because I challenged him for the alpha position, and I do not care much about that. I never approved of these things anyway, and this time he was going to be mating with my mate. Oh, Goddess, a mate. Why did you give me a mate when you know I do not want one? Now when I kill Willia
Jake I take large strides, heading to the doors. I hear low growls behind me, but I ignore them and walk out the door. I do not stay in the packhouse because that is not my home anymore; it has not been my home for a long time. I take her to my uncle’s house and when I get in; he looks at me with questioning eyes. He inhales, then groans. “Heat?” he asks the obvious, and I nod. He points me to the guest room downstairs and follows me behind. I opened the door and placed her on the bed. She then wakes up and starts stripping off her clothes. I look at my uncle and he shrugs. “What do I do?” I asked my uncle. Her arousal is not helping things at all. My dick is hard as a rock, and my wolf wants nothing more than to devour his mate. But I cannot do that. I do not want to do this. “Fill a bath with cold water” my uncle says but when I am about to get out of the door, he stops me. “Take her to the shower instead and let her sit under running water.” He tells me and I curse under my bre
Jake I jerked up from bed when I heard a banging on the door; it takes me a minute to register what the banging was. “Come in.” I say yawning, I still want to sleep for a couple of more hours. “Why are you still sleeping at this time? The crowd is already gathering on the training grounds.” My uncles says, and it hits me. This is the day I get to put an end to John Williams.I get out of bed. “I am ready.” Now my expression has changed, sleep is long gone and the only thing that remained in my mind was killing the bastard. I head to the shower and take a quick one. When I get back to my room, my uncle is gone but there is a note on the bed, and I take it. ‘May the Goddess be with you today; may she bless you with strength to see this through. I have gone to the training ground, see you shortly. Your proud uncle.” The note read. A small smile plays on my lips as I read the last part of the note. Whether I win or lose, I know this man will still be proud of me. I frown thinking how I
Jake Trojan ran all the way to the woods behind our packhouse and all the way towards the mountain. I kept quiet and let him keep control. He blocked me off from his mind, so I didn’t know what was going on with him, but I decided to trust him. Today for the first time Trojan revealed a bit of information about himself. My wolf didn’t talk much, only when it was necessary.He ran and ran with his big paws thundering on the ground as he ran. Wind blew on his fur, he ran until he came to a stop at a clearing I didn’t even know existed. He drank water and sat down with his head laid on his front paws. I could feel the sadness pouring out of his whole being, I knew it was his because I felt nothing for the monster we just killed. “I held him in my arms when he was born, I remember how proud my son was when John was born.” Started Trojan.I did not interrupt him, I kept quiet and let him continue. “We thought he was going to be the greatest alpha the world has ever seen and indeed, he was
Elena I watched him leave, and I clenched my fist in anger. That arrogant bastard! To think I thought he was better than his father, they are just the same. How could he do this to me, how could he take away my only chance to avenge my parents? I am happy that dog Williams is dead, but I was angry I am not the one who did it. I wanted him to die by my hand. I wanted to look him in the eye as he took his last breath.He took that away from me, first, he takes advantage of me in my vulnerable moment then leaves in bed to go kill his father. He could have at least woken me up so that I can watch as he died. “I am sorry you feel this way, but our mate did not take advantage of us.” My wolf decides this was a good time to talk to me.“What do you mean by that? Do you think if I was in my right mind, I would have slept with him? Whose side are you on?” I asked my wolf one question after another. She was pissing me off. “I am on your side but let me ask you this, would you have preferred he
Elena After the talk I had with Martin, we had dinner in silence with both of us deep in thought, and when he went to bed; I offered to do the dishes. I just needed time alone to think. I did not know if I could trust Martin yet, if my alpha can betray me like that then who was Marin to be loyal to me? I am nothing to him and he owes me nothing.I might be his nephew’s mate, but he does not know me. So, what if he is setting me up? ‘He was sincere when he offered to help us.’ That he was but the important question is, can we trust him? I finished with the dishes and then still sat there thinking about all the members of my pack who lost their lives and my parents.My mate walks in, he looked exhausted. He sees me then frowns and my wolf whimpers. ‘He doesn’t want us.’ She says and I wish I can tell her she is wrong, but I cannot. “Your food is in the microwave; I can warm it for you if you would like.” I offered; I do not even know why I did that. He looked at me hesitating before no
Jake“Jake, wake up” I turned to the other side and continued to sleep. “Jake!” Trojan yells causing my head to hurt. “Go to sleep Trojan, we have a long day tomorrow.” I tell him then close my eyes trying to get more sleep. “There is something wrong with mate.” He says, and I feel irritated just by hearing that.Now a person cannot have peace because his mate is around, I did not even ask for this damned mate. “Is she dying?” that would be the only time I leave this bed to go check on her. “No, but I feel her destress, something is wrong?” Trojan tells me. “Then if she is not dying let me sleep, besides, what could be stressing her when she is supposed to be sleeping?” I asked letting my irritation show in my voice.“I can’t sense her in the house Jake.” He tells me, well, if she decided to go looking for trouble then that is not my problem. “Maybe she went for a walk, or a run and her distress has nothing to do with me.” I say then closed my eyes again trying to sleep more. “Your fa
Elena Martin did not have a problem with me joining training, I was so excited that it felt like he was taking longer finishing his breakfast. If it was not my first time going to train with these warriors, then I would have left Martin behind. He chuckled seeing me eyeing him again. “Training is not going anywhere Elena, relax and have coffee or something.” He tells me and I frown.I already had coffee; all I need now is to train. “I already had my breakfast.” I tell him and he just shrugs. His so annoying, can’t he just finish so we can go already? Finally, he finishes his last piece of toast and I stand up ready to go and he chuckles. “I didn’t say we can go,” he says with a raised eyebrow. “No need to sulk, we can go.” I jump out of my chair and head to the door.I hear him chuckling behind me, and I do not care. I just want to train; it has been so long. “I have never seen anyone who is eager to go get themselves beatings.” Martin says but I ignore him. If it were back, then I w
