Chapter 3

Elena’s POV

“Alpha Jaxon…” my voice trembled as I watched him walk out of the woods hurriedly. I sat back on the floor my heart gripped with fear. I truly cannot believe that the most ruthless alpha in the region who happens to be the alpha of our pack is my mate.

“No way this is happening to me.” I muttered under my breathe. Now it all makes perfect sense to me. This was the reason why I was so restless all day. My wolf was only calling to her mate.

I stood up hurriedly and ran out of the woods. I have no idea what his intentions were. I arrived home and Lisa was out by the gate waiting for me.

“Elena… Child where have you been? I looked all over for you. You left your birthday party and left all your guests.” Lisa said rubbing salt to my wounds.

“Lisa, I'm perfectly fine. My wolf just wanted a run.” I explained but Lisa didn't seem convinced my with my answer.

“Are you sure that's what happened? You look like you were struck by listening or something of some sort.” Lisa insisted and I groaned inwardly.

“Lisa please I really want to be alone now. I know you put in a lot for this party to hold and I really appreciate you. And I'm sorry that I ruined all your plans.” I turned around and said to her.

“But I need to be alone. Keila and I need some time alone.” I repeated hoping she understands. Something unimaginable just happened and I have no idea what awaits me.

Alpha Jaxon's reaction after he found out we were mates flashed through my head and my heart sank.

He clearly wasn't pleased with the discovery. He just stood there and stared at me like I'm nothing.

Impossible…

Those were the exact words he muttered, and I could feel tears in my eyes as the words echoed in my subconscious.

I got to my room and my body hit the bed immediately. I tossed and turned feeling restless, and cold. I didn't know whether or not to be worried. I was too tired so I drifted off to sleep.

The banging sound coming from the door jolted me from my light sleep. I sat up on the bed covered in sweat. I could barely feel my body as I felt numb and weak.

“Elena… Child please you must come out now. A message from the pack estate has been sent to you. Beta Grayson has come to deliver it himself.” Lisa informed me her voice cutting through the door.

I flipped out of the bed in fear. I dragged my feet up to the door and opened it slightly. Lisa and my father were there and I wondered if I should tell them the truth.

I came out of my room and closed the door behind me.

“Tell me Elena, what's happening? Why did the alpha call for you by this time of the night?” My father asked and my breath siezed as I didn't know what to say to him.

“I don't know, maybe he has some errands he would like to ask me.” I lied, and Lisa murmured something I couldn't hear.

I didn't bother waiting for them both. I ran downstairs and met Beta Grayson waiting there.

“Beta Grayson…” I bowed my head seeing him, and he did the same thing to me.

“I'm sorry to bother you and your household tonight, but the alpha himself has seeked your presence tonight.” Grayson stated, and I nodded my head.

“I hope there isn't a problem. I think I should come with you.” My father said.

“That won't be necessary, and I assure you there's no cause for alarm.” Grayson assured my father.

“Don't worry, dad, I know why the alpha is asking for me, and it's nothing bad, so be at rest, please.” I said to my father and followed the beta to the pack estate.

We arrived at the pack estate, and I was led to the upstairs. I didn't know where we were going but I just followed suit. I wanted to ask questions, but I didn't dare to ask it.

“Here, please wait for the alpha in there.” Grayson said, and I nodded my head. My legs suddenly felt heavy as I stepped into the room. Hours ago, alpha Jaxon didn't seem thrilled to see me, but now he has requested for, and now I'm to wait in his room.

The room was dark but was also filled with the strong scent of the alpha. I felt warm and enveloped in his scent. I shut my eyes, savouring the moment. I sat on the bed, and suddenly, the door to the room flung open.

The strong male scent grew stronger feeling the room with its essence. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me it was alpha Jaxon that had just come in. I flinched and jerked up from the bed.

“Undress….” His sturdy voice filled the room, and I gasped as I was short of breath. I didn't know how else to react to him, but I'm trying my best to keep calm.

He marched towards me, closing the gap between.

“I said undress..” his voice was stronger this time, and I felt hypnotised. Our eyes locked with our gazes holding each other. I pulled the zipper of my gown down, revealing my upper body.

I have never been bare in front of a man before. I'm supposed to be shy, but on the contrary, it felt as though this is something I've been waiting for.

Alpha Jaxon grabbed my chin, and I could feel our heartbeat pacing together. I could feel his hot breath on my soft skin, melting every inch of me away.

Our nose rubbed together and my eyes flickered with emotions I didn't know I possessed. He brought his lips closer to mine and I shut my eyes. He placed a soft kiss on my lips, and without thinking I threw myself into his arms.
