Forsaken and Fated

Get your hands off her

Here Elaine stood again at the deck where the dance party was held. The deck still looked so lavish with the chandeliers glimmered like diamonds. Same as the previous day, the place was filled with elegantly dressed people, all laughing, chatting and dancing gracefully to the music.

Elaine felt a wave of anxiety wash over her as she remembered the embarrassing events of the previous night. Despite her new dress and make-up, she still felt like the same shabby, awkward poor girl.

Suddenly, Elaine caught sight of Joey across the crowded dance floor. He was standing with Sabrina, his hand on her waist. Elaine felt her heart was grabbed tightly when seeing this scene, and she felt a strong impulse to leave this place right now.

"Is everything okay? You seem a bit distracted." Alan noticed Elaine's unease and asked.

Elaine tried to play it cool, but her voice shook a little as she replied, "It's... It's nothing, I'm okay."

"I'll get some drinks for you." Alan said and left the place.

Elaine nodded and sat at the table, watching Joey as he said something to Sabrina, stood up and started to walk towards her.

He found out that I was staring at him! What should I do? Elaine panicked at once and didn't know what to do now.

Joey got closer and closer with a charming smile on his face. The girl staring at him was so beautiful that he couldn't help but felt his heart pounding when he took a sight of her. She was absolutely stunning and he couldn't move his eyes off her.

"Hey there, beautiful," he said and put a glass of wine on the table in front of Elaine, "You look absolutely stunning. May I know your name? I don't think I've seen you before."

Elaine's eyes widened. Joey asked her name? Did Joey not recognize her? She quickly lowered her head, her mind was total chaos right now and she still hadn't decided on how to face Joey.

Seeing the beauty in front of him lowering her head, Joey thought she was just being shy. Her long eyelashes fluttered under the dim light, making her look even more adorable and pretty. Joey felt his heart beating fast, his breath also became more rapid. So he continued to flirt with her.

"Would you care to dance with me?" He extended his hand and tried to grab Elaine's right hand.

"No...Please..." Elaine tried to pull her hand out from his grip but she didn't succeed. She was so anxious that her face turned red, while the sound coming out of her throat was getting smaller and smaller. But clearly, Joey didn't plan to let go of the hand of such a beauty.

Ignoring Elaine's reluctance, Joey grabbed her hand and tried to pull her onto the dance floor.

"Take your hand off her. " A hand suddenly gripped Joey's wrist.

It was Alan! He was holding a glass of juice he had just ordered for Elaine in one hand, and gripping Joey's wrist with the other hand.

Joey was a little bit taken aback by Alan's sudden appearance and his majestic look, but his hands were still grabbing Elaine, "Who are you to tell me what to do? I warn you, my father is the beta of the frostclaw pack, you don't wanna mess with me. Now f**k off and mind your own shit."

Alan frowned at Joey's threats but he didn't say anything. Instead, he unleashed the mighty breath of his wolf - the wolf of alpha blood that makes all other common wolves fearful and submissive.

Joey's shoulder collapsed at once under the breath; Alan didn't even need to fully let out his wolf, it only takes a part of his aura to say it all.

But Joey tried to hold on to his last piece of dignity and grabbed Elaine's hand even harder, using all of his strengths. "We...we were just trying to have a little fun."

Alan's eyes narrowed. He placed a possessive arm around Elaine. What Elaine didn't know was that behind him, a few bodyguards in blacksuits also stood up straight and prepared for a fight secretly.

"Don't make me say it twice."He lowered his voice, sounded very unpleasant as he unleashed his wolf's shadow towards Joey.

Clunk!

All Joey could see was the wolf's eyes glowing blue and its teeth sharp. The strong pressure made him unable to stand on his own feet. He suddenly fell down on the floor on his knees! The look on his face was one of horror and fear; what a monster he just messed up with?!

Seeing him fall to his knees and showed total submission, Alan eyed his bodyguards, called back his wolf and put on a smile while turning his face to Elaine:"Let's go, Elaine."

Elaine?

Joey's mind froze as he heard Alan say the name. He then took a closer look at Elaine. He was suddenly struck by the realization that it was indeed her - the same girl he had once callously discarded! It was only then that he realized the beauty was exactly the same person he dumped the previous day!

How could she be Elaine? Isn't Elaine just a pathetic poor omega? When did she become so regal and beautiful? When did her hook up with such a strong alpha wolf?

He stood frozen in place, the expression on his face shifted again and again.

Ignoring the complicated expression on Joey's face, Alan led Elaine to another table on the other side of the deck, and handed over the juice to her.

As Elaine was taking sips from the glass of juice, Alan noticed that Joey snuck up on them again and kept staring at Elaine with that complicated expression on his face.

Somehow, Alan felt a little bit restless. He hated how Joey looked at Elaine and hated that he still wouldn't give up on her. For a moment, he wanted to hide her, hide her in a place where only he could find.

A voice deep down his heart screamed of taking Elaine away to a place no one else could see. He suddenly stood up.

Then, he extended his hand and asked Elaine:

“Beautiful lady, may I have the pleasure of dancing with you?”
