ELEANOR POV
"Mom! Dad! You know how much I hate these suitors! Why do you keep pairing me with them?" I flared at my parents.
It's not like I was the only female wolf that hadn't gotten her mate. There were several females out there! even though I couldn't think of any.
"Young girl, you will stop talking to me like that! Even if you are a warrior, I am still your father and the beta of this pack!" My father bellowed in anger.
It wasn't that I don't respect my parents but whenever they mention those arrogant men coming for my hand in marriage, I can't keep my anger in check.
"I am sorry, Father. Mom, I am sorry I snapped at you both," I apologized, yet not backing down from my decision.
"That's better. You had better start choosing who you want as your chosen mate or else, we would do it for you!" My father said, sternly.
But I didn't bulge at his expression. I wasn't going to be tied down to some arrogant jerk!
" I need to go hunting with my warriors. I am already running late, dad" I said, escaping from their talks.
" Don't think you have escaped, girl!" I heard my father say. But who cares? I am out of there!

Trudging along with my warriors, I swore I was going to rip someone's head off. How could my parents arrange for another suitor when they knew how much I hated those males and their egos? My anger was so much it reached my inner wolf agitating me even more.
"Calm down, Ely. They are only concerned about you. If only we have gotten our mate, there will be no more suitors," Aria comforted me. The conversations we had in my mind were always comforting.
She was my wolf and the only one that hears and knows the feelings etched in my heart. She had been a source of strength for me and also, may I say she had become my confidant too? That's since Lisa left for the countryside for a visit to her grandmother.
I missed her but then I had so many things to think about too. For instance, the issue of my mate or suitor had been paramount in my parent's every word spoken to me.
"Aria, you know how much I hate those arrogant and perverted males who parade themselves as a male god or whatever. I just need a calm and obedient male as my mate or chosen mate," I told her.
"And what if our mate turns out to be the opposite? Are you going to reject him and pay the price?" Aria asked. I detected a mocking tone but I ignored it.
"The goddess would only grant me my heart's desire, Aria. She knows the type of mate that I want and that fits me too," I responded, shutting her out.
I have had enough of those talks for today. Why was everyone telling me the opposite of what I truly wanted?
Sometimes Aria can be annoying and at times like that, I prefer to shut her out except if it's necessary or an emergency. I knew the moment she resurfaced, I was going to have it hot from her. But who cares? We both have the advantage of shutting each other out!
As I was grinning to myself about my wolf, I heard light footsteps drawing close to me. Without turning around I already perceived the scent of my best friend apart from Lisa.
"Don't think I don't know it's you, Max!" I said, turning around to face him.
"Such a killjoy, Ely. Can't you just pretend for once?" Max asked, throwing me a dirty look.
" A minute off guard can cost my life or ours together. So I can't do that, sweetie," I said, shaking my head.
" I can't believe you have such…"
"Shhhh! I think I heard a sound just now. Everyone, on your guard!" I hushed the talkative Max while sending a mind link to all my warriors.
There was total silence everywhere as my ears tried to pick the direction of the sound.
"Move stealthily in the east-west direction. Kill on sight, if it's a rogue. But wait for my command if otherwise," I ordered.
As I was moving slowly toward the direction of the sound, I suddenly staggered as if I was being struck by an arrow.
" Arrrrrrggg!" I held my chest tightly.
Seeing me in sudden pain, Max, who was closer to me, held me tightly. The pain was excruciating before it disappeared again.
"What happened to you?" He asked, worriedly.
"I don't know, Max but the pain was so excruciating. I can't feel it anymore," I explained, a little confused.
Before Max could respond, we received a mind link from one of the warriors about some group of people surrounding someone. I quickly rushed there alongside Max.
As soon as I got there, my eyes scanned the group of people surrounding the person on the ground. These weren't rogues but were likely warriors from a pack. There was no rotten smell of rogue around.
Just then I perceived a peculiar smell of lavender tree coming from the man who lay on the ground battered and bruised with blood gushing from his body. The scent was drawing me close. Alongside, was anger and pain directed at those people.
I signalled to my warriors to attack without a second thought. My wolf was howling in my head. I knew at that instant that something was wrong. Who was the person on the ground about to be killed?
I didn't give Aria the chance to say anything as I lunged forward with my men, snapping and breaking them into pieces. I guess they didn't realize they were in another territory because they were a little surprised at the sudden attack.
"You wouldn't want to mess with us, you bitch! We are from the Crescent moon pack!" One of the men I assumed to hold a powerful position, sneered.
I could hear the angry growls from my men but I shushed them. All his men were dead. Killed by my fury and my men's anger. I smirked as I drew closer to him.
"Oh! Alpha of the Crescent moon? Who the hell is that? Never heard about him. Have you heard about him, Max?" I asked, my eyes fixed on the man.
" I wonder if he is talking about the son of a bitch that uses tricks in defeating people?" Max sneered.
I saw him clenching his fists tightly but I ignored it. Instead, I drew closer to him with my super alpha speed. He looked startled but that wasn't my business!
" I will spare you so you deliver the message to your Alpha! No one touches anything that is mine!" I whispered in his ears.
Before he could say anything, I knocked him off with a strike on his neck. I didn't want to kill him. I just want to teach him a lesson and also sound a warning to others. But deep down I wondered why I said the last statement.
Mine?
"Take him out of the border and throw him anywhere. I am sure he will relay my message to his Alpha. What a bunch of useless cowards!" I spat out, walking towards the weak-looking man.
ALPHA GREGOR POVOne by one I watched as my ten warriors slumped to the ground. The look of pain and agony etched on their faces. I wasn't any better either as I tried to suppress the wave of anger in my body.What got me angry was the fact that they were slaughtered like chickens while I watched without being able to do anything. "I swear I will fucking kill all of you!" I growled under my breath. You might be wondering why I couldn't do anything. That's because we were poisoned with wolfsbane. How they did it, still baffled me. But I knew it was because of the bastard that sold us out! If I could come out of this alive, I would make sure to wipe out all the people involved in this betrayal. With hatred brimming in my eyes, I sneered at Alpha Jax, the Alpha of the crescent Moon. He was among the most powerful Alphas eyeing my territory. "You think you are powerful when you win with tricks? Aren't you being delusional?" I asked, glaring at the Alpha who got me surrounded. My tone
ALPHA GREGOR POV"I demand to know where the hell I am!" I growled at the girl shaking helplessly at the doorway.I sat upright on the bed naked from the waist up. My heavy chest and back were bandaged from all the injuries I'd sustained during the attack. The girl holding the cup had walking in at the same moment I got up. My confusion and her panic filled the whole room with a thick mist.Some of the water from the cup in her grip spilt from how badly she was shaking. I felt bad for her but I was too disoriented to care if my demeanour gave her a friggin heart attack. She could burst into flames and I would be indifferent."We, the uhm-" she stuttered.Her clumsiness and my confusion enraged me to the point I could feel stress marks appear on my temple. It was obvious she was as clueless as I was."Get me, someone who knows something," I said with a grimace. "Be quick about it!" I bawled enjoying her reaction to my outbursts. There was never a wrong time to strike fear into the hear
ELEANOR POVThe stranger grunted while reaching for his side. Instinctively, I reach out for him thinking he had busted his wounds."Are you hurt? What's happening?" I asked.The minute my hands touched his shoulder, a strange sensation distorted my senses. Everything blurred out for me except the feeling. A feeling that was alien to everything I'd ever felt in my life. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. It morphed into a sharp pain but I did my best to let it move through me. I removed my hands from his body as fast as I could. Immediately I did so, the pain subsided till it was gone completely. He was either a very powerful wolf or my touching him and the pain I'd felt were not related at all. Just a mere coincidence. I checked his aura to confirm and it gave off the scent of a lowly Omega. That was when it hit me. This strange man was my mate. The scent I got from him was undeniable.My mate! I thought in a frenzied state.Why?I decided to keep my discovery at the back of my m
ALPHA GREGOR POV"What's your name?" She asked stopping just by the doorway.The grumpy red-haired guy stopped to like a loyal lapdog which I convinced myself he was.I thought about her question for a while. There was no reason for her to be ignorant as to the name of the Alpha of her enemy pack. She'd definitely know my name even though it was clear she had no idea what I looked like. Telling her my real name would be foolishness on my part and I was no fool."I'm Garrett," I said holding my breath and steadying my heartbeat."Hmmm... Garrett." She said grinning at me.Her smile twisted my insides as if my innards had been fed to a shredder."I'll be seeing you soon." She left with that.I rested back on the bed.There was no doubt that she was powerful. I could feel the strength oozing off her being while she was sitting close to me. As sleep took me away, my thoughts stayed on Eleanor.ROUGHLY A MONTH LATER...ONE COLD EVENINGI waited just outside the door with my arms crossed. My
Taking one last look at Max who lay on the ground unconscious, I shrugged my shoulders before carrying my mate."Joey, I just hope she forgives me," I muttered softly to my beta.But trust that idiot! He would never be an encouragement. I know he was going to take pleasure in mocking me for a while. "I don't know, man. She looks tough! How about I bet that the first thing she would do was punch that pretty face of yours?" Joey remarked, stifling his grin. I glared at him. I wondered what type of friend he was. He was supposed to be giving me hopes but he was bent on mocking me instead. "Wipe that grin off before I wipe you off myself!" I said, throwing him a dirty look.That did the trick as he quickly shut his mouth and followed me meekly, my mate lying unconscious in my arms. I knew she won't wake up anytime soon but I want to get home as soon as I can.I don't want to give room to any mistakes. There was only one thing on my mind right at that moment. I just wanted to leave as s
ELEANOR POVI opened my eyes slowly and quickly shut them back due to the reflection of the room. Somehow I felt something was off. I slowly removed the blanket covering my body and realized I was still in my warrior attire."What the fuck happened to me? Why would I fucking sleep with my…"I was wondering what happened when something clicked in my head. I tried to pick the flashes but then everything went blank again.I looked around the room and realized something was different. This was not my room and surely not Max's room either. Sometimes I sleep over at his place especially when I want to escape my parents' nagging. I was in a different environment cause none of the rooms in my pack are decorated like this either. And the air was quite different. My nose tried to pick up whatever it could take but I swear I haven't come across such a place before. "Could I be dreaming? But it's so real and where is Garrett?" I mused to myself.At the mention of my mate's name, it seemed I was
I felt his hand leave my hair as it slid down to my boobs. He began to massage one of my boobs with his hand as we continued kissing passionately."Arrrrh…ahhhhh." I moaned in between the kisses.My moans and his groans filled with ecstasy filled the whole room as it seems we just can't seem to get enough of each other.The kiss became intense, and our tongues went into a battle for dominance, but then he won as I had to take a rest. "I want you," I said in almost a whisper, but I know he must have heard me clearly."I want you too, baby," He said, smiling faintly. Then I bounced my ass up and down his erect dick to prove my point. "Vixen." He said, chuckling. I was ready to be his vixen only. Then he captured my lips in another hot steamy kiss filled with so much love and passion. The kiss alone was able to convey our unspoken feelings for one another.But then I want him… inside me, again but this time I was going to be in charge. "You've given me so much pleasure, it's my time
Gregor POVI watched as Jessie's face turned pale as she stared into space, immediately, I dropped the bombshell of me meeting my mate. She looked shocked and… disappointed? Why would she be or I think I was being too observant due to the happenings."Are you okay, Jessie?" I asked, touching her shoulders. " Oh, Gregg! I am just… worried about you. I… you know how you always talk about mates being someone's weakness and that they… they would be the death of you.." She stuttered, avoiding my gaze.That's right. I once had the notion but not for someone like Eleanor. She was damn tough and a great warrior. How could such a person be a weakness?"Yeah. But not for my warrior mate. The only thing I am afraid of is the fact that I would soon be chopped off by her," I said, chuckling. I looked up to see Jessie looking at me. I could see concern written all over her face though something in me tells it wasn't a genuine concern but I trust Jessie, she wouldn't want to do something that will
