Elena's POVUsually, when I scrubbed the toilets or the floor, I always did it with a frown on my face.But today marked a difference, a huge smile was plastered all over my face as I scrubbed the floor of Beta Ezra's room, knowing for a fact that it was my last time scrubbing anyone's dirty floor.Things have gone so well over the past few days, more than I ever envisioned.The queen has grown a deep likeness for me and she was in support of the announcement to the rest of the community about our union.Today is the long-awaited day, our official mating ceremony and I couldn't be more happier, it marks the end of my misery and the beginning of a beautiful life with a man who cherishes even the strands of hair on my head. As I scrubbed the floor carefully, I felt an ill feeling suddenly wash over me, but then it vanished abruptly just as it came.I pushed the worried thought to the back of my head and continued scrubbing.After a short while, it came again, this time, more pronounced
Elena's POV. I flooded my knees to my chest, weary and tired as the cold floor of the cell blew at me.I shivered pathetically, my teeth gritted noisily against each other.For an intended future Luna, now ending up as a prisoner, my story is really pathetic.My once pretty gown was now soiled in dirt and blood from the incident, not that it mattered anymore to me, I was certain that the mating ceremony would no longer be happening, not after everything that happened last night.Right now, I was more concerned about Killian, what was his take on the situation? Does he believe that I was innocent? He has to believe me.But then every hope of that being possible was brutally shattered as I thought back to last night, he couldn't hold my gaze despite how loudly I repeatedly screamed his name, neither did he utter a single word while I was dragged away. He stood still, his palms hurled into a tight fist. I never slept a wink through the night, I stayed up hoping that he'd show up and
Elena's POV.Few hours later, the door was pulled open again, this time, it wasn't Killian but the guards. They took turns casting me disgusting looks as they walked into the cell."Get up, it's time to face the council," one of them spoke up, his voice laced with so much hatred.I nodded weakly, having no strength left in me for further reaction.Biting down on my lower lip to pass on strength, I pushed myself to my feet and followed them out.My heart thumped alarmingly fast as each step brought us closer to the council hall. But then I was beginning to accept my faith, whatever the council rules off to be my verdict, I shall accept without further debate, but one thing I would never do is agree to a crime I never committed all because of lesser punishment. Arriving at the judgment hall, my eyes flew wide open in shock, surprised to behold how filled up it was, closely half the entire pack was present; how eager they were to witness my cruel verdict. Their murmurs flooded my ear
Elena's POV.I have never felt this way before. The sharp shred of loneliness and deep pain.I walked through the shadows of darkness on the wet grasses, heading to nowhere because my mind was blank.It was already late, aside from the pack members, I knew nobody and had no external relationship.I clenched my hands on my arms, pressing the cloak on my body as the cold was unbearable."Where are we going to?" Narla's voice came up and I cleared my throat, closing my eyes briefly. What does she expect from me? I was as confused as she is."I don't know," I mumbled.Everything happened within the blink of an eye. As much as it was unbelievable and hurting, I just had to accept the bitter truth and my ill fate."Who's there!" Suddenly, a hoarse frightening voice startled me and I stopped walking, turning back immediately."Is someone there?" I managed to mutter. "I should be asking you lovely bitch what you are doing all by yourself in this forest." The fat disgusting-looking man groane
Elena's POV.Standing tall over me, was a strikingly handsome man, well bodied and heavily hung; though Killian remained with the crown.Why am I even comparing them? And in this situation? There was yet another young man standing by the doorside, he was a delight too. "Who are you?" I swallowed hard trying not to sound as scared as I truly am. He took a step closer towards the bed and I recoiled back in fright."Don't come any closer!" I flared up."Relax, you are out of danger," he spoke really gently, a soft chuckle leaving his mouth.As much as he appeared harmless, I was in a strange place without any slightest clue how to make it out, falling for his mere appearance was a big risk. "That doesn't answer any question, who are you? And what is this place? What am I doing here?" I was beginning to get a bit louder now, my gaze darting fiercely from each of them to the other. Of course, the ugly experience with my ex pack has thought me a bitter lesson never to let anyone take
Killian's POV.I marched into my chamber in fury, my palm hurled into a painful fist.Everything happened so fast, It felt like an illusion.Why would Elena choose to shatter my heart in the most brutal way? I have done nothing but treat her well, shower her with so much affection, and reciprocated her love. She had absolutely no reason to be involved in such crime. I badly wanted to believe that she was innocent but the evidence was right there, and there were witnesses all over as well. It was more infuriating that she wouldn't admit to anything, if she was forced into the act, all she could have done was confide in me, but she chose to look me in the eyes and lie to me.I tried to shut the pain out but it was an epic fail, the agonizing pain shot through me, swallowing every bit of me. How do I ever get through this? It was more painful digesting the sad reality that I won't be setting my eyes on her anymore, I had thrown her away by myself, into the scary outside world that he
Killian's POV.I dragged my heavy feet into the palace, heading towards my chamber, traces of dried tears coated on my cheeks. Taking a turn towards my room, I came across my mom."Oh my goodness, what the hell happened to you?" She panicked."Elena was innocent the entire time, Mother, she never committed the crime," my voice came out extremely low, I could barely even hear myself."What?""It was a setup, everyone conspired against her, what's her offense? Did she make herself an omega wolf?" I lamented bitterly."Oh child," she quickly pulled me into her arms, engulfing me in a warm embrace. "I'm so sorry," "I failed her, Mother, I couldn't trust her, I couldn't believe her, I pushed her away, I'm a monster," I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, I let them flow freely down my cheeks soiling her dress."No, you are not a monster, this is not your fault Killian, you got caught up in the whole mess," she stroked my back soothingly."No Mom, she pleaded with me to believe her, sh
Killian's POV.I stirred gently in my sleep, wrapping my arms around the slender body lying beside me. I smiled as the flashback from our tender moment the previous night came rushing into my head.We made love again, it was the most beautiful thing, just like it had always been between us, her tender skin rubbed against mine, her soft moans, just like pure melody, filtered into my ears begging me not to stop as I thrust harder into her. I never thought I'd ever experience that again, I thought I lost her to the cold hands of death. I felt whole again, the unbearable pain and torture had flown off the window the moment I set my eyes on her. I couldn't believe she was really here, in my arms, her fingers digging into my skin as I thrust into her while she moved to meet my thrusts.She was really back, for good. And I'm keeping her forever. I'd be a fool to let her out of my sight ever again, not even for a second."I'm glad you are back to me," I mumbled wrapping my arms safely aro
