*****Author's POV*****
The Twins stared at the woman before them, with wide eyes.They mouthed the word mate, but actually it was their wolves calling out to hers.She looked so pale and frail, any word to describe a weak looking wolf.Not that Elvira looked like an Omega, but she also didn't look strong either.Being the most feared, most wanted and most hottest men in the city, they deserved someone powerful at least.Someone who was worthy to stand by them and not look like a damsel in distress.Elvira looked nothing like a strong wolf and it turned the twins off in some way.Zayn, being the eldest and calmest of the both, just sighed and turned to move in another direction.Zayden gave El one last glance and followed his brother as they went to find their sister.Honestly, they didn't hate El, but they didn't like her either. She might be their mate, but she wasn't in the least attractive.Zayn's Lycan, Loki, growled at him for leaving just like that."Isn't this what you both always wanted? To get our mate?" He asked in frustration, "Why then are you guys leaving and ignoring her?"Zayn sighed and just shrugged, "We might be looking for our mate, but we never asked for a weak one""Whether weak or not, she is still our mate" Loki argued and Zayn just shut him out."We'll talk about this later.Zayn then walked to find Erika who was busily talking to a few people at the corner.Zayden on the other hand grabbed a drink, then strutted to the bar counter, also turning to stare in the direction of the woman that turned out to be their mate."She's pretty" Zayden commented and took a sip of his drink."Then why did you both leave?" Lexi, his Lycan asked.Zayden just shrugged, "Because Zayn left, I have to leave too" he said naturally and Lexi snorted."Just cause Zayn refused to accept our mate, you also refuse?"Zayden hummed in return and Lexi growled."Just why are you both not going there and claiming her? What's wrong with her being our mate, she's pretty as you said, so what's the matter?"Lexi asked again and Zayden sighed."Yes she is our mate, that I agree. But look at her, she looks very weak and you know we hate weak females. She isn't even that attractive" Zayden explained casually again and just took a sip of his drink."She is beautiful, and has a very fair skin. She is tall too, so what the hell is your definition of attractive?" Lexi asked in bewilderment.Zayden unable to bear it anymore just blurted out, "she isn't sexy at all""Your mate mustn't be sexy, she is perfect for us" Lexi never backed down."But we deserve better, don't you think?"Zayden didn't also back down."What could be better than a female with fair skin, beautiful face and probably curves which are hidden in that dress of hers" Lexi's voice began to go thin as he said the last part."Emphasis on the probably. We ain't even sure" Zayden added and just shut Lexi out directly.Their both eyes were fixed on Elvira who was talking to Daphne.Actually, Daphne was the one talking.Elvira just stared at her surroundings as if she was lost.Even though Zayn and Zayden didn't want to talk to her, they still couldn't take their eyes off her.Daphne who was trying so hard to get her friend's attention, is suddenly cut shut when Elvira suddenly told her she wanted to go home.Without any other choice, Daphne relented unwillingly and pulled Elvira out of the hotel, taking her directly to the parking lot where the Valet asked them to check their car.Zayn and Zayden watched them leave the hotel and they both looked at themselves. Through their mind link, they spoke to each other."She is leaving" Zayden said and Zayn just shrugged."Let her go" he said in return.Some other pack Alphas began to suddenly flock around the twins.Being the most powerful and most arrogant in the entire city, they were feared and greeted humbly.No one dared to act brash with them.Zayden was being direct and very insulting as he spoke to some Alphas, while Zayn was indirectly insulting the Alphas.In all, they were very arrogant.But being from the feared and most dreaded Lycan pack, everyone had to obey and bend to their will.Erika looked around, searching for Daphne and Elvira, but she didn't see them anywhere.She took out her phone to call them and they informed her that they had left the party.Erika wanted to know their reasons, but she went against it and just chose to meet up with them after the party.Zayden and Zayn's Lycans weren't settled as they both couldn't get enough of the Honeysuckles their mate smelled like.Lexi was busily trying to coarse Zayden, while Loki was busily trying to talk some sense into Zayn.Though the two Lycans didn't care and just focused on the people before them.After they failed to convince them, the both Lycans stopped persuading them and just went silent.Daphne and Elvira who are in the car driving back home, soon arrived at Elvira's house.Elvira got down immediately and tried to go into the house, but Daphne stopped her."El just wait!" She flew to Elvira's side and stopped her as she saw the tears that pulled up in El's eyes."What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Daphne's voice softened as she cupped Elvira's face with her palm.Seeing Elvira's strange behavior, she felt her heart shatter.Elvira had cried alot after her divorce, and she only wanted to get Elvira out of the house to cheer her up and make her happy.Not to make her cry.Her efforts was already wasted, but she definitely didn't mean for Elvira to cry.After a comfortable silence had passed, Elvira then said slowly."Those Lycans, they're my mates"Daphne's hands on Elvira's face fell instantly.*****Elvira's POV*****Daphne just stared at my face after I said those words to her. My tears couldn't stop falling amd I just couldn't figure out why.Yes I really didn't want men in my life, I don't need mates. But the look the Twins gave me and how they just ignored me as they both made their way to the opposite directions, hurt me more than anything bad that had ever happened to me.They gave me a look as if I was some worthless piece of trash they happened to be unfortunately matched with.Though I wouldn't reject them because ofthat look they gave me, but i still wouldn't accept them.But did they have to look at me that way?Did they have to act like I was some worthless item?I felt hurt for some reason.The twins didn't even look like they were ready to accept me. They looked like they hated the mere sight of me standing there as their fated mate.Dahlia finally spoke up after a while of silence, "El, don't be mad, maybe they just weren't expecting to see you yet" she tried
*****Author's POV*****"Aww man! I can't believe I lost to you again!" Zayden groaned as he tossed the spear in his hand to the floor. He collapsed on to the field grass as he shut his eyes to shield it from the sun.The sweat trickling down his forehead gave him an alluring look as he breathed out heavily."That's cause you've been so distracted ever since we began," Eric, Zayn and Zayden's Beta said as he sat beside the sulking Zayden.Zayden had never lost to Eric ever before, but today seemed exceptional as Zayden kept missing his targets and ends up getting hit by Eric.At first, Eric thought maybe he was becoming stronger, but then he noticed the look that continuously flashed in Zayden's eyes each time they began another round of fighting.He immediately knew Zayden was distracted or else, his ass would have been kicked."What are you thinking about?" Eric asked him as he drank water straight from the water bottle.Zayden stayed quiet for a while, just staring at the clear blue
*****Author's POV*****Zayden starggard as those words rang in his ears.Mates?The same pretty lady from the party tried to kill their mother?Zayn's face was frozen over as he stared at Zayden's shocked ones. This had been his exact reaction when Elvira was pulled out from the kitchen as the one who served his mother when she arrived at the restaurant.The shock on both Elvira and Zayn's faces was palpable.Elvira had tears in her eyes as she just stared at Zayn at that time.Because of the stupid mate bond, Zayn couldn't do anything to her and felt pity instead.He directly took his mother to the pack's infirmary, then headed home afterwards.He just couldn't do anything to her because of the mate pull.Zayden finally snapped out from his dazed state and directly looked into Zayn's eyes."Are you sure of what you're saying? That woman tried to kill our mother?" He asked, his deep voice becoming extremely low and terrifying.Zayn nodded slightly and the atmosphere became suffocating
*****Elvira's POV*****"Elvira? You?" I saw the look of surprise flash in Erika's eyes as she pointed her index finger at me.I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat, my hands trembling at these sudden problems.What happened for goodness sake?! I was happily working this morning when the boss said there was an order at table 16. I arranged the order and placed it aside to get a package from the back door. I returned to find nothing strange around the meal, waving at the others as I carried the tray off the counter, I made my way into the Vip center to serve table 16.The lady at table 16 was nice and beautiful. She spoke politely to me with a gentle smile as I served her, but never once did she show any sign of discomfort. So I was extremely confused when she suddenly began to cough hard, even to the extent of passing out.Now, I'm being interrogated like some criminal. I already explained the entire thing to the pack's police and Daphne.Daphne understood and believed me, b
*****Elvira's POV***** I was dragged away from the restaurant and stuffed into Zayden's car as requested by him, then the car sped off from the premises.Daphne was yelling out to them—Zayden, Zayn and Erika as they drove off, leaving behind dust in their trail.I sat silently beside Erika as the silent twin drove straight towards the Moon forest Den estate.In no time, the silent twin drove into the estate and directly to the packhouse. The entire place had a beautiful and sophisticated appearance, with beautiful flowers and a huge fountain at the center of the compound.But I wasn't given the time to admire the entire place because I was immediately pulled out of the car the moment it came to a halt at the entrance."El, you have to stay calm, okay?" Dahlia suddenly said to me and I hummed in reply. She said nothing more as I was led into the huge pack mansion, fear settling at the pit of my stomach when I was pulled to the direction of what seemed to be a dungeon.My feet trembled
*****Author's POV*****The door to Alpha Archie's office was pushed open and in walked Jaxon with a grin. Archie lifted his eyes lazily to look at him and just snorted."What do you want?" He asked lazily as he took a sip of a substance in his cup.Jaxon strolled over to a seat that was opposite Archie's and sat down."I heard the orphanage construction would be finished in three days," Jaxon announced excitedly.Archie gave a slight nod of confirmation, "Yes, we'll begin the renovation for the hospital soon," he added and Jaxon beamed excitedly.The pack's hospital was the fourth biggest in the entire city and the first three biggest were the ones owned by the Moonforest Den pack; the Lycans pack.The last renovation for the Shadowed Moon Pack's hospital had been 10 years after the previous Alpha, Alpha Leopold, Father to Archie, died.Though the pack's hospital wasn't looking in the least bad when it came to luxury and exquisite equipment, it still needed a few changes and that was
*****Author's POV*****Archie dashed towards the direction of his Luna's room, his heart racing at the thought of any harm befalling his wife and unborn child. Getting to her room, he found her lying on the floor in her room as more than four maids couldn't stop calling out to her.Archie pushed everyone aside and knelt by her side to lift her off the ground."Get the car ready!" He yelled as he dashed out of the room with her in his arms.Archie ran to the car desperately and carefully placed his Luna at the back seat. He turned around and was surprised that Jaxon wasn't with them."Is that punk still in my office?" He muttered to himself in annoyance. "You," he pointed at one of the guards on duty by the corner, "Go upstairs to my office and tell Jaxon that if he doesn't get down here this instant, he would have me to_" He was cut short as Jaxon stepped out of the mansion."Will you quit threatening me!" Jaxon yelled with an eye roll as he walked to his car. Archie snorted and tri
*****Author's POV*****Violetta watched as Archie put his phone away into his pocket and a smile replacing the worried look he had on earlier.He moved even closer to the hospital bed, eyes shining with happiness and the worried feeling of helping Elvira vanished without a trace."Letty, are you alright?" Archie asked as he ran a hand through her soft brown hair. Violetta tried to sit up, but Archie didn't let her."Stay down for now, you're not so strong,"Violetta obeyed and stayed lying down. She smiled thinly at Archie before extending her hand to touch his face. "You look so worked up, love. Why?" She asked, her voice filled with sweetness as always.Archie smiled in return at her smooth soothing tone of voice. One that Elvira would never have."You fainted suddenly, that scared shit out of me for goodness sake!" Archie unknowingly sighed as he kept running a hand through her lush hair. Violetta's smile widened and she bit her lower lip seductively."My love, I'm fine. I only fel
