*****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 to sooth me, but I knew she was lying.The twins didn't want us and I didn't want them either.Since they feel we were some worthless things before them, then I would also see them the same way.I hated them for what happened earlier and I would make sure they saw the hatred i also had for them."El, are you sure of what you're saying? The twins? The hot guys? They're your mates?" Daphne asked again in a low voice, but I could clearly hear her.I nodded in response.She took two steps away from me and looked up at the sky.Then she screamed in what seemed like excitement."Yes! Yes!!" She screamed again and I had the urge to shut her up before she wakes up my parents and neighbors."Why are you screaming?" I asked quietly, staring at her like she had grown two heads."Because this is what I always asked the moon goddess for! I've been praying and asking her to just connect you to the twins in a way, maybe as friends, since I can't do anything with them," she reasoned and I just gaped at her.How could she be so shameless?"Does Jaxon know this side of Daphne?" Dahlia asked irritatedly and I shook my head."No wonder." she snorted."Baby, I'm happy for you! Why didn't you tell me earlier and I was worried sick about you!"I sighed tiredly and leaned on the car."Daphne, the twins don't want me, and I don't want them either" I said to her and she froze from her happy dance."What are your even talking about, huh? How did you know they don't want you?" She asked and I looked directly into her eyes as the moon light fell over the surrounding."Because of the look they both gave me." I told her and she just gave me a skeptical look."What look did they give you?" She asked me."The look that says I disgust them" I reply.Daphne shook her head in bewilderment."How could you be so sure it's a look of disgust when it could clearly be a look of longing?!" She yelled and this time, I moved to cover her sinful mouth from spitting out anymore nonsense."I know what I saw and you don't have to tell me that," I said through gritted teeth close to her ear.She tried to say something, but her voice is muffled because of my hand that was over her mouth.She tapped my hand and I reluctantly let go of her."Damn El! Your grip is super strong! Where's the strength coming from?" She asked me and this time, I managed to force a laugh.After she took in deep breaths, she turned to look at me, then huffed."Fine, we'll talk about this tomorrow El. For now, go in and take a rest" Daphne said to me and I nodded thankfully.The look the twins gave me flashed in my mind again and i clenched my fist.Those brats!After I waved Daphne off, I walked into the house quietly.By now my mum must be asleep, I had no idea if my dad retuned home tonight.After I successfully entered my room, I leaned on the closed door and sighed."Tough day" Dahlia commented and I hummed in response."Indeed" I said.After waiting for a minute or two, I stepped into the bathroom and stripped down immediately.After a quick refreshing bath, I stepped out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and took up the blow dryer to dry my hair.Despite trying really hard to focus on just doing my usual night routine and going to bed, I still couldn't get rid of the looks on the twins' faces as our eyes met and their scents wafted into my nostrils."They smelled divine," Dahlia said suddenly, but I gave no response.Indeed, their scents were undeniably intoxicating.But even if I wanted mates, it wouldn't be arrogant brats who give people disgusting looks."Elvira you have to calm down, maybe you misunderstood them,"I scoffed at Dahlia's words, misunderstood them?"Ok let's say I misunderstood them, why in the world will they not approach me as their mates and instead, walked off like I was some dirt they didn't want to get close to?" I asked Dahlia sarcastically as I felt my senses snap, the anger rising once more.After I said that, I dropped the blow dryer and made my way towards the bed."I wish I never see them again, I don't care about the bond," I snorted and rested into the soft mattress."They're your second chances, of course the bond would grow even more each time you try to deny it. Or did you forget how it went with Archie?"She asked knowingly and I growled in response.How could I forget the first day I met Archie?"Now sleep and tomorrow you'll feel better" Dahlia ordered and my eye lids grew heavy instantly as if following her command.With that, I fell into a deep sleep.*****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
*****Elvira's POV*****Days passed, or so I thought. It wasn't a surprise for me to think that I had been locked up here in the cell for days, when I hadn't even seen the outside world, hadn't heard from Daphne or anyone else and I hadn't even heard from Dahlia.I sighed as I heard the jingling sound of keys, I looked up to see two guards walking in, and I knew what they were here for.To take me to the interrogation room.Honestly, I was very surprised because I had expected the twins to mistreat me and force the truth out of me, though I was innocent. But they did nothing of such and I heard their mother was recovering quite well.The guards, as I expected, pulled me up and took me out of the cell.We soon got into the interrogation room and I saw the calm twin sitting on the table as usual.He had always been the one to come and ask the questions which I continuously have one answer to.I could differentiate them because of the eyebrow piercing Zayden had. Zayn was the opposite. El
