Elise Time flew by, and soon, it was already a month since I mated with the guys. The center had also fully lifted the ban, and we were free to move around as much as we could. "Are you sure he'd agree?" I asked for the umpteenth time, that morning. Considering how I was their mate, and they were due to leave soon, they had suggested I leave with them. I hadn't objected at all, since that was also what I wanted. We all moved towards Mr Philip's office, in a row. A soft knock at the door, and a hushed response, made us open the door and walk in. I couldn't even tell if it was Mr Philip himself who had given the response. Seated behind his desk, with gleaming eyes was Mr Philip. He wiped his sweaty face with a bandana, and waved us to the seats in front. "Have a seat please," he said with a smile that was obviously forced. "You guys wanted to speak to me?" He began, once we were all seated. "We are leaving today," Lazarus began. "Yeah, although it wasn't nice having you at t
Lazarus Elise leaned on Rory's shoulders, sleeping peacefully, completely oblivious of her surroundings. "Whose pack is she going to, after this is all sorted out?" Rory asked, breaking the awkward silence in the car. "Mine of course," I rolled my eyes at the question. The other two turned their eyes simultaneously towards me. "What do you mean? She's our mate." Thomas protested. "And my pack is the safest place for her to be." I said, dominantly. "That's not happening, Zarus." Rory refuted, making me irritated. "We aren't that close. Call me Lazarus." I growled lowly. At that moment, the car suddenly swerved, jolting Elise from her sleep. She rubbed on her eyes groggily. "Are we there yet?" She asked, traces of sleepiness in her tone. She tried stretching, and then leaned back on Rory's shoulders, shifting until she was comfortable. Their position worsened my irritation. "You look like a mess." Thomas chuckled. "What?!" She hurriedly sat up, and requested for a mirror, s
THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER. Rory "Would this suffice?" I waited with bated breath, as Lazarus asked the grim faced Mr Philip who was perusing through the signed agreement. "Hm," he grunted, and stretched out his hands towards Elise, obviously for a handshake. But I beat him to it, receiving the shake instead. I stifled a frown, and forced a smile instead. Although I could tell Mr Philip was furious, he did a good job at masking it. He forced a smile. "It was good having you at our center, and we hope we have done a good job at changing you." He said. His words had an underlying meaning to it, and a taunting smile spread across my face. "We'll take our leave now, and hope never to see you again." Lazarus said, leading us out of the office. Just as I was about to step out, I slowed down my footsteps and turned to cast a last glance at him. He had a furious look on his face. I shut the door close, and lingered on, watching as the others moved away. I heard
Lazarus Thomas placed Elise on his shoulders, and helped her out of the plane. The trip had obviously worn her out. A limousine was already waiting for us the moment we were done checking out. "Destination, Alpha?" My trusted bodyguard, and driver questioned. I helped Elise into a more comfortable position, and then took my seat. "The pack." I replied. The partition between the driver's and passengers seat were drawn down, shielding his view from us. "Yes Alpha," he replied, and turned on the ignition. "So, we haven't talked about this, since we were focused on getting her out of there. Do you guys plan on staying at my pack?" I asked, once we began driving. We have to ensure she's safe before we return." Thomas replied, flicking his fingers nonchalantly. "And your packs? Do you trust your Betas to do a great job, in your absence?" I pressed on, wishing they'd just leave, and let me have her to myself. "Well, they've been doing so. A few more weeks wouldn't hurt." Rory shru
Elise The chirrups of the birds made me stir. I sat up, and was disconcerted, trying to recall where I was. "May I come in Luna?" I heard an unfamiliar voice drift over the door. I frowned. Luna? "Come in," I said absentmindedly. The door swung open, and two maids walked in. They were dressed in uniform; a yellow dress, and black sash, across. "Good morning, Luna." They bowed, and remained in that position. For a moment, I didn't know how to react. I had never been addressed so respectfully, before. Then, I snapped. "Good morning," I got up from my bed, and gave a low bow. I had already grown accustomed to respecting others, and not the other way round. However, my actions made the eyes of the maids go wide. "No, please, don't!" They panicked. "Why not?" I frowned, adjusting my position and standing straight. "We are here to help you dress up. The Alpha's orders. Please you don't have to greet us. It is forbidden." One of them said. I noticed that their heads remained
Rory The castle was somewhat silent, as every occupant within, retired for the night. It was at that moment, we finally left the woods, to return to our various rooms. The only sounds that were heard, were that of the night insects. Not a single word was exchanged between us, as we walked into the castle. "Are we really going to sleep without talking to her?" I whispered, as we walked passed her room. I halted, a troubled look crossing my face. Lazarus stared through the window, at the full moon, which hung on the sky, whose beams snaked in, through the windows, creating a solemn feeling. He also had a desolate look on his face. Well, at least, we were united on this one. "My mom would be returning tomorrow." He said, changing the topic. We turned to look at him. Back at the center, before the arrival of Elise, we had bonded and had known about each other. Considering the fact that we also attended the same school. So, we knew the history behind his mother. "Your stepmom, you
Elise It was morning, and I decided to take a stroll around the castle, wanting to feast my eyes on the beauty of the pack. My body felt sore from yesterday's events. The thought made my cheeks turn crimson. Rory was sure insatiable. Just then, Thomas intercepted me. I took a brief glance at him. He was dressed in a black outfit. Black shirt, and fitting pants. An epitome of handsomeness. "Going somewhere?" He asked in a calm manner. I nodded. "Yeah, I want to take a stroll around. You know, stretch my limbs. You?" I smiled. "Well, I had no idea what I wanted to do. But I guess we could go together." He suggested. A broad smile spread across my face. "Sure, let's do that." I chuckled. We took a route, passing through a garden with beautiful flowers. We soon got to a beautiful forest. Tall trees littered around. “Why don't we take a stop here?” I looked around the forest, smiling at how beautiful it was. Dazzling would be the word for it. He took a look around, and nodded i
**Ravenna’s POV**“Why are you letting us walk?” l asked sounding a bit bored.“Nothing," he replied. “You want us to teleport?” He asked curiously and I nodded.“Of course,” I answered rolling my eyes. “As if you are someone to walk for fifteen minutes.” He chuckled as he stretched out his hand for me to take. “I wanted you to say it first.”“Raven are you okay?” He asked with a worried expression. “If it’s about what happened earlier, then, I’ve always told you it’s nothing to worry about. As long as we continue the practice.”I shook my head in the negative. “Of course, not Ches, honestly it’s not about that” l smiled at him and he smiled back.“If you say so.” He grinned. “Shall we, Your Highness?”I laughed as I locked my hands with his. “Don’t let the Queen hear you say that.”Not up to a minute, we landed in my sitting room.“I think I will go now, Raven,” Chester announced after some minutes and I nodded.“Take care, huh?” I said as he walked towards the door. “Yeah.” He rep
