152. Painful decisions
Elijah practically threw himself out of the moving car and strode into the main house of the pack.He had smelled her entering the square and before even reaching the building.Cintra looked up after being absent for so long."Ophelia!" his heartbeat, filled with hope and longing as soon as he saw her."Alpha Cohen," Ophelia gave him a very distant and diplomatic bow, and there was a lady beside him who looked at him with sharp and critical eyes, but Elijah cared for nothing else."Ophelia, I…""I came here to talk to you about an important matter. Do you think we can do it?" Ophelia halted all his enthusiasm with a severe expression."Of course, of course we can. Alex, make sure no one disturbs us," Elijah said, lowering his euphoria from seeing her, smelling her, and feeling her so close to him.He had missed her so much that his heart ached to death, and if he had endured, it was because he had his plans and motives, as always."You can talk to me about anything," he tried to sit n
153. I will protect you
The Omega found herself trapped between the huge, intimidating body of her Alpha and the locked door."Listen well, Ophelia Allen. You can hate me and curse me, but never ever dare to break our bond—I won't allow it!" Elijah hissed at her as he gripped her nape, where his temporary mark was fading.Ophelia felt how her treacherous body reacted to being so close to the only man who could revive every cell of her skin."Let me go! It's obvious you have a Luna; what do you expect that I'll be your mistress?" She tried to speak with hatred, but her voice became more cracked and weak than intended."I also have the right to find another man; I won't be anyone's second choice. Alphas are willing to take me as their woman, and I will have a permanent mark from someone who loves me for who I am, not from a traitor…" A muffled moan escaped her lips when Elijah's big hand covered her mouth to muffle her cry of astonishment and the sudden pain she felt at the back of her neck.Just the thought
154. Treacherous attack
"Leave me alone! You already have what you longed for, don't you? You groveled so much for his love that in the end, you got it," Ophelia yanked her arm free from the tight grip."You want me to leave you alone? You came into my territory, offering yourself like the cheap whore you are. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I might as well change my name," she took menacing steps toward the Omega with a cruel expression."I think you should behave, especially if you're going to be the Luna of the pack. Don't you think it's inappropriate to act like a classless market woman?" Malla stepped between the two, protecting Ophelia.She could feel the unbridled, raw hatred pouring out of that woman."The nerve of a filthy hybrid coming to lecture me. Ophelia, are you hiding behind the old ones now?" she taunted, and truly Ophelia felt like tearing that b*tch's face apart.Just as she stepped forward, determined for anything, she sensed other scents surrounding them.They were trapped in the al
155. War hostage
"Did they arrive safely? Did you make sure no one saw them?""Warn those wolves well; anyone who speaks out gets kicked out of my pack and their entire family. Send them to do the heaviest labor as punishment, so they learn who to follow and who not to.""They arrived perfectly, and no one saw anything. It will be done as you command, Alpha," his Beta responded, and Elijah entered the small room where one of his warriors stood guard outside.When Stela woke up, she was lying in a bed.Everything hurt, and she even believed she had some broken ribs because, at some point, she had received kicks from that b*tch.When she remembered the beating Ophelia had given her, just a tiny Omega, all the rage from the humiliation boiled inside her.If she despised that woman before, now she wanted to devour her and bleed her with her own hands.She also felt resentment because she felt supported by the useless wolves of this pack, tempting them with her future position. Yet, they had left her lying
156. Attack on Shadow Claw Pack
"Did you bring Estela to the pack?" Douglas asked his Beta through their link."She refused to go under any circumstances, even threatened her own life," the Beta replied with frustration."Damn it, she can't grasp the importance of this moment! How can she be so inconsistent?" Taking advantage of the fact that Alpha Elijah was away from his pack, following him, he had ordered that his daughter be brought back to his pack.Estela had stubbornly refused to return, and although he knew she was fighting for her position as Luna, she was an uncertain variable.He didn't trust Elijah. He knew Elijah was flirting with a she-wolf from his company, but he ignored such nonsense; he had been young once, too.He could have his affairs discreetly as long as his daughter was the Luna.From a distance, the great wolf Douglas looked back to see the enormous white wolf of Elijah.Cintra was magnificent and powerful, too powerful for his liking, and he just hoped that Elijah truly meant no surprises
157. Five minutes is a long time
The wolf's scream of agony echoed as it fell to the ground, electrocuted, soon ceasing to move with blood flowing from all orifices.“Damn you, scoundrel!” Elijah glared with hatred inside the energy shield surrounding Douglas and his warriors, reminiscent of those Lucian favored.It seemed he had come prepared with some magical trinkets.“Go do your thing. We can't hold on forever, so I hope you find something worthwhile,” Douglas said privately to his Beta, who nodded, blending into the surrounding wolves and disappearing from enemy sight.“I knew you were nothing but a treacherous rat. What did Lucian promise you for turning into his bitch?” Douglas looked at him scornfully, shifting the focus to him and angering the other Alphas.“Do you think you'll achieve what you want? I won’t fall for your trap; I’d like to see how long your little shield lasts,” Elijah retorted, trying to stay calm though genuinely furious.By now, he thought everything would be more uncomplicated and that
158. Stealing a treasure
A silent shadow raced through the forest until it reached a mansion hidden in the middle of nowhere, heavily shielded by spells and protections. He had nearly consumed an entire bottle of that woman's blood, so for a limited time, he was like a true shadow.He slipped into Lucian's mansion, unsure where the fabled golden egg he was searching for was. It was likely in a treasure room or something similar.Voices in the kitchen indicated that people were gathered there. Though he was supposed to be hidden, it was best not to take risks, mainly since powerful beings lived in this house.A familiar scent hit his nose, and he headed towards one of the rooms on the second floor.A shadow slipped under the door and snuck into a dark corner of the room.He was astonished to recognize the Omega looking out the window towards the forest.It was the same one who had done Estela the favor of attacking in those caves, where Alpha Elijah nearly caught him.Fortunately, he had taken precautions t
1. A hasty escape
Olivia walked through the kitchen, the knife clutched tightly in her trembling hand.She was still in her white hospital pajamas and barefoot, having dropped her slippers when she jumped, with great effort, over the short fence of her own house.Olivia walked around the dimly lit room.She knew the exact location of every piece of furniture, every lamp, every ornament.This had been her home for nearly eight years, the home she had shared in a marriage she believed to be true and real, but which was as false as all the feelings "her dear husband" had professed for her.The same man who was now upstairs, probably with another woman.Olivia knew it, her sixth sense told her, just as she knew the day her older sister would die.She cried and kicked to keep her from celebrating with her friends, but since she was only an eleven year old girl, no one paid any attention to her.At midnight, her parents were notified that their teenage daughter had been stabbed and raped in a dark alley in t
