Chapter 3 3

While in his chambers all alone, Elvis felt a pang of regret over his decision to reject Lydia. Instinctively, he felt attracted to her. However with the stories that had been downplayed by her parents, Elvis believed she was unfit to be his Luna.

His wolf Elvo had been nagging at him for rejecting their mate, despite the meaningful reason he had dished out. The chamber doors opened and Gerry stepped into the room.

"Alpha, you have a guest." He proclaimed and Elvis instructed for the guest be brought to him. He was surprised to see it was none other than Kelly. Gerry left the chambers and closed the door behind him.

While he was gone, Kelly walked towards the throne room and lowered her head as a sign of respect to the Alpha.

"What brings you to the mansion?" He asked in curiosity. Elvis had noticed the sad countenance on Kelly's face the moment she had stepped foot into the room.

"Alpha, Lydia is dead." Elvis stood up from his throne and stepped down to come face to face with Kelly. His domineering stature was exactly what made him attractive.

"What do you mean Lydia is dead?" Elvis asked, slowly feeling anxious.

"After you left, she was heartbroken by the fact that you rejected her. She ran down to the waterfall and drowned herself." Elvo howl in pain as the news came forth from Kelly.

The pang of guilt that Elvis felt had alleviated. He was slowly wondering how much of heartbreak he could have caused his beloved mate.

"Let's head over to your home." He indicated.

Kelly and Elvis, alongside Gerry made their way to the apartment. They found Dylan and Amara completely in sour mood. Elvis was aware of how much Dylan and Amara liked Lydia despite her bad character.

"Alpha." They all greeted, while Elvis proceed to take his seat on the couch.

"I need to know exactly the details of all that transpired while I was gone. What happened to Lydia? What happened to my mate?" Elvis asked. He didn't want to show any sign of weakness before the family, despite feeling hurt.

"She felt broken by the fact that you had rejected her and despite all we did to console her, Lydia ran out of the house without our knowledge. Dylan traced her scent and that's how we are able to discover she was dead by the waterfall." Elvis laid back down on the couch. He had committed murder by eliminating his mate.

"Do you think the body can be extracted?" Elvis enquired, hoping he could see the face of his mate one last time, before she is buried.

"Alpha, the water fall isn't exactly the place for a body to be extracted. It is impossible." Dylan explained and Elvis saw reasons to everything he said.

"Very well then, I will make sure Lydia is given a proper befitting burial. We hope the moon goddess takes her soul and grant her rest." Elvis revealed. While he attempted to leave, Dylan stopped him in the process.

"We wish for the Alpha to have something with us. It would be highly disrespectful for us to have you come to our apartment twice and not have a meal with us." Elvis knew there was no way he could refuse the offer and after a moment of thoughts, he accepted.

While at the dinning table, Elvis noticed the closure Kelly was setting up with him. The closure was almost making him uncomfortable.

"Alpha, we are not bound to question your moves, but we just desire to know what is next in your plans for a new Luna." Dylan indicated towards the end of the meal. Elvis rarely shared thoughts with his subjects.

"I haven't thought of anyone at the moment. However I believe I will figure something out." He felt body contact beneath the table and looked up to Kelly, who was winking at him. Elvis was fed up with her subtle flirts. "I would like to take my....." He couldn't complete his statement as he felt completely dizzy.

Elvis looked up at the table and everyone was slowly becoming blurry and after a few seconds, he fell to the floor.

Dylan and Amara rushed down to check up on the Alpha. "Is he unconscious?" Amara asked her husband.

"No, he isn't going to be unconscious. The substance would rather make him horny enough to have sex with Kelly." Apparently they had mapped out a plan for Kelly to sleep with the Alpha, for the purpose of procreation.

"Let's take him to Kwlly's room and I hope you make sure you do your part of the plan Kelly." Dylan instructed sternly. They hoisted Elvis up and made their way to Kelly's room and left.

Elvis could not feel anything. His thoughts were blurry and so were his eyes. He felt hands coming in contact with his trousers and forced himself to stay at alert.

'Let me take control' Elvo indicated. Despite being affected for a few moment by the poison, Elvo was able to find a means to heal. He instinctively took over Elvis body and when he raised his head up, he growled at Kelly, who he found unbuckling his belt.

"What do you think you are doing?" Elvo asked pushing Kelly away and pushing his trousers up. Kelly was shocked to see the Alpha back to his feet. However on closer look, she discovers it was his wolf, judging from the change in color of his eyes.

Elvo grabbed on Kelly's neck and slammed her to the wall, right before the door. "Listen well young lady, I am not the sort of person you should mess around with. Be rest assured that Elvis would be told of your attempt to poison him." Right before Kelly could make any statement, she was shoved aggressively to the floor, while Elvo left the room.
