“Elle, thank you. I’ll be forever indebted to you and your family!” I said, taking her hand as she sat on the couch.
“Why, Draven?” She asked, not understanding.
“For always taking care of Carrie and my son. And for bringing her into my life!” I said emotionally.
“Oh, you big wolf, I kind of like you!” Eleanor joked. “But you still have a lot to work out. I know you’ll figure it out, but there’s a lot to talk about.”
We had been talking there for quite a while when we heard Liz speaking loudly to Ryan’s housekeeper who couldn’t hold her back. Liz burst in and looked at everyone gathered there.
“Found you, Draven!” She started walking towards me.
I glanced quickly at Eleanor and said, “Elle, help me. My ex.”
Eleanor’s eyes widened, she jumped up like a rocket and planted herself in front of Liz.
“Well, well! If it isn’t that slut Elizabeth Morgan!” Eleanor broke into a smile. “What are you doing here, you dickhead?”
“Who do you think you are, Eleanor, to talk to me like that?” Liz’s eyes were crackling with hatred.
“I’m the daughter of the Alpha whose bed you tried to crawl into. Oh, and I’m also the one who beat you up and dragged your face across the pavement a few years ago, remember? Want me to refresh your memory?” Eleanor threatened.
“Stay away from me, you psycho!” Liz screamed.
“Lower your voice, you bitch!” Eleanor grabbed Liz’s hair and spoke through gritted teeth. “I haven’t forgotten how you made my mom believe my dad had you as his mistress.”
“Let go of me, you crazy bitch!” Liz struggled. “You’re insane, Eleanor!”
“Oh yes, I am, I’m completely insane! Don’t think I’ve forgotten all the stunts you pulled. And don’t think that beating was enough revenge for me.” I had never seen Eleanor like this. She was pure rage!
Eleanor yanked Liz’s hair in one swift motion, making her fall to the ground.
“You have serious mental issues, Eleanor,” Liz complained while getting up and looked at me. “Are you going to let this airhead treat me like this, Draven?”
“I’d do worse!” Ryan stood up with a stern face. “I never invited you to my house, you bitch. I can’t stand you, never could, so get out before I call security and have you escorted out.”
I stood beside Ryan and Eleanor, looking at Liz with contempt.
“When did this woman hit on your father, Elle?” I asked.
“About four years ago. I knew she had a mate, but I had no idea it was you. This worthless homewrecker almost ruined my parents’ bond, and my father never even had anything with her,” Eleanor said, full of rage. “I still have that little video, you conniver. Want me to show everyone? Especially your father?”
“Listen here, Eleanor, don’t try to blackmail me! I disappeared from your pack,” Liz said, trying to regain control.
“Yeah, you disappeared after I dragged your face across the asphalt,” Eleanor said. “Don’t you remember, Draven? Didn’t you see your girlfriend’s face all scraped up?”
“You psycho from hell, I had to go to Boston for facial reconstruction surgery. You destroyed my face,” Liz complained.
“Yeah, I sure did!” Eleanor said proudly. “And I’m losing my cool again, and I don’t care about breaking any rules.”
“And here I was thinking it was a car accident,” I said with disgust.
“I remember seeing you all broken in the hospital, you whore! Eleanor, you have my respect more than ever, you messed up this woman like she’d been caught by a rival pack!” Ryan said, laughing.
“Well, Liz, I guess you have nothing else to do around us,” Joseph stood up and approached. “But if you want, I can tell everyone about your life in Rome, I have some great photos. We met four or five times at that club where you entertained men, right?! By the way, Ren? said you’re the worst escort he’s ever paid for.”
“Holy Moon Goddess, you really managed to surprise me,you scumbag!” Kyle commented with a laugh.
Draven’s POV
“What’s going on?” I heard Caroline’s voice from the doorway. She had woken up from all the noise, looking sleepy but quickly sensing the tension in the room.
“Love, I’ll explain later. Nate, please take Carrie to the other room,” I asked, knowing he would protect her.
“No, I want to know what’s happening,” Caroline said firmly, walking into the living room.
“Oh, so this is the worthless bitch you fell for?” Liz sneered, her eyes full of hatred.
“I heard you got involved with some worthless, unmated bitch. But honey, don’t fool yourself, because he belongs with me!”
“Are you insane, Liz? Whatever we had ended years ago.”I sapped.
“I don’t think so, Draven. When you were so lonely in New York last week, you couldn’t keep your hands off me in bed!” Liz taunted, her words deliberately aimed to hurt Caroline.
“You street trash, I’m going to mess up that cynical face of yours so bad that no surgeon will be able to fix it this time.” Eleanor went feral, grabbing Liz by the hair again. The chaos erupted in an instant.
“ENOUGH!” We heard Caroline’s shout. “Elle, let go of that bitch.”
Eleanor released her and looked at her friend. Caroline straightened up, smoothed her clothes and hair, and walked steadily toward Liz. She stopped beside me with a soft smile, then turned to Liz with contempt.
“I feel sorry for you. Poor little rich girl! Full of material possessions but empty of true bonds,” Caroline spoke in a low.”I remember what you did to Elle’s family, and I didn’t help her break you completely only because she caught you here and not in Maplewood. You’ve hurt very good people. You’re immoral, vulgar, promiscuous, and despicable.”
“Who do you think you are to talk to me like that, you scentless slut?” Liz spat. “Spreading your legs for a one-night stand and getting knocked up? Where’s your dignity now?”
I growled deeply, but Caroline placed a calming hand on my arm.
“Don’t insult me by calling me scentless like it’s a curse,” Caroline shot back without lowering her head. “I may not have a privileged bloodline like yours, but I have character and dignity. Things you know nothing about. But you’re right, I haven’t introduced myself properly, let me correct that. I’m Caroline Bennett, soon to be Luna of the Storm Valley Pack, and friend – no, sister – of this hell’s psychopath.” Caroline put her arm around my waist, held Elle’s hand, and smiled at her friend.
I looked at Caroline in amazement. My wolf Alaric was practically purring with pride at her claim of being our future Luna. How I love this woman!
“Ha, look who’s acting all high and mighty,” Liz sneered with disgust. “Ask him about his night in New York. How much he moaned while fucking me. You’re just another conquest, you unmated nobody.”
“Oh, you delusional girl,” Caroline replied. “Let me tell you something, if he even touched you, he did it while thinking of me, and only because we weren’t together then. What? You thought I didn’t know? Who’s delusional now? So, don’t degrade yourself anymore, you’ve embarrassed yourself enough in front of all these people.”
“You…” Liz raised her hand to strike but froze when a powerful, authoritative voice cut through the room.
“ENOUGH, ELIZABETH!” The man standing in the doorway.”I’ve been here for several minutes watching this horror show, and I’ve never felt so ashamed of my bloodline in my life!” Mr. Morgan had entered and was walking towards his daughter. “Disappointment doesn’t begin to describe what I’m feeling. This young lady is right,you have neither character nor dignity worthy of our pack name!”
