Elaine’s POV

Lying in bed, anger simmered within me like a coiled serpent, twisting and writhing with every thought that crossed my mind. I should have been this angry right from when I saw Killian but I want. I fucking was anything but angry.

How could I have let myself succumb to such base desires in the presence of that wretched alpha king? He was nothing more than a predator, a creature to be despised and destroyed, yet here I was, feeling an unwelcome stir of arousal at the mere memory of him.

My fists clenched against the sheets, knuckles white with the force of my frustration. This is all baseless because he won’t be here to receive the end of my wrath. I hate him for twisting my mind like that.

How could I have let my guard down, even for a moment, in the presence of such an enemy? I should have been focused on one thing and one thing only: his demise.

But instead, I found myself drawn to him, my body betraying me with every glance, every touch. It made my blood boil with r

    Elaine’s POV In the shimmering glow of the dream realm, the Moon Goddess appeared once more, her luminous form radiating with an otherworldly grace. Her voice, gentle yet commanding, echoed through the expanse, reaching out to me with a sense of urgency."Hello, child of the night," she spoke, her words carrying on the ethereal breeze, "you must heed my warning. There is a danger approaching, a darkness that threatens to engulf you."But I stood firm, my defiance unyielding as I faced the divine figure before me. I wanted to ignore her again but it seems like ignoring her is not going to let her stay away from me so I rolled my eyes before I answered. "I will not heed your warnings," I declared, my voice tinged with bitterness. "Any danger that comes my way is of your making, born from the chaos and turmoil of your creatures."The goddess's gaze held mine, her eyes pools of ancient wisdom. I hate that she is a divine being no matter how much I don’t want her to. Goddesses exist and t

  • Alpha Prince’s Mute Mate   21: A decided fate

    Killian’s POV In the grand chamber adorned with ornate tapestries and polished marble floors, the cabinet members, a collection of esteemed elders and ministers, gathered in solemn deliberation. They heard what happened and want to be present. Their voices murmured like a distant storm, each opinion carrying weight in the hallowed halls of power. I am used to having them all around my life but right now with the weight on my shoulders and no way to place it, I feel tired. Some argued for swift and decisive action, their voices sharp with the urgency of justice. Most of them are ones my brother Logan doesn’t like discussing his decisions with. He likes to go ahead to talk to our mother who helps him decide mostly everything. I can see the reason why he doesn’t value their support. “She must be held accountable for her crimes," one minister declared, his tone resolute as he pounded his fist against the table for emphasis. "There can be no leniency for one who has committed such hei

    Elaine’s POV The days passed, they blurred into a monotonous cycle of sleep, food, and idle conversation with Damon. Each morning, I would awaken to the same sterile surroundings, the stark white walls of my room offering no solace or reprieve from the relentless march of time. But there is always breakfast waiting. Damon's visits became the only semblance of normalcy in my isolated existence, his presence providing a fleeting sense of companionship amidst the suffocating silence of my confinement. Yet, even his attempts at conversation failed to penetrate the heavy fog of despair that hung over me like a shroud. It’s been two days since I last saw Killian and I’m sure my family don’t even care whether I am alive or not. Despite my attempts to maintain a facade of indifference, I couldn't shake the gnawing sense of unease that gripped me with each passing moment. The absence of any developments in my situation only served to heighten my anxiety, leaving me feeling increasingly po

Two days had passed since she last laid eyes on Killian, her supposed mate, and the absence of his commanding presence weighed heavily on her mind, haunting her every waking moment and infiltrating her restless dreams. As she paced the lavish corridors of the palace, her steps echoing in the empty spaces, Leah's mind buzzed with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Anger simmered beneath the surface, fueled by a sense of betrayal and indignation at being kept in the dark.

    Third person POVLeah summoned one of her trusted maids and issued a command with a steely determination in her gaze. She has been using her powers to get whatever she wanted lately and all she could say is, she loves being powerful. "Find out who prepares Elaine's meals," she instructed, her voice edged with urgency. "Bring them to me immediately."Moments later, the cook stood before Leah, a mixture of confusion and apprehension clouding her features. With a raised eyebrow, she listened as Leah outlined her directive, the implications sinking in with each word. “I need you to add a substantial amount of grapes to Elaine's meals," Leah explained, her tone laced with calculated intent. "Make it seem innocent, but ensure she consumes them."The cook hesitated, uncertainty flickering in her eyes as she struggled to comprehend the motives behind Leah's request. Leah is slowly not liking the cook and she might dismiss her later for questioning her. Maids or servants aren’t supposed to q

    Elaine’s POV In the dead of night, I jolted awake, my body drenched in a cold sweat, heart hammering against my chest like a caged bird desperate for escape. Just that it wouldn’t escape even though I wanted it to at that moment. The remnants of the nightmare clung to my consciousness like a shroud of darkness, leaving me trembling and disoriented in the dimly lit room. I was all alone. Imprisoned. I lay there, my breath coming in ragged gasps, I struggled to shake off the tendrils of fear that still gripped me tightly in their icy embrace. The echoes of the nightmare lingered in the recesses of my mind, twisting and contorting into grotesque shapes that danced just beyond the edges of my vision.With trembling hands, I reached out to clutch the sheets, seeking solace in the familiar embrace of the bed that had once been a sanctuary but now felt like a prison. Because I shouldn’t have made it a sanctuary from the beginning. It is a prison as intended. Every creak of the floorboard

    Elaine’s POV Damon's gaze met mine, I detected a flicker of guilt shadowing his features, a subtle shift from his usual demeanour of ease and camaraderie. His shoulders look really bunched with so much tension I don’t understand. The air between us seemed heavy with unspoken words, his usual affable banter conspicuously absent in the tense silence that enveloped the chamber. I don’t like this especially not after that freaking nightmare I had. I furrowed my brow in confusion, my mind grappling to make sense of the palpable unease that emanated from Damon's hesitant demeanour. He looks like he doesn’t want to be anywhere around me. It hurts even though I knew it was just a matter of time. His usual jovial mannerisms were noticeably subdued, replaced by an uncharacteristic solemnity that left me feeling unsettled and uncertain. I didn’t say anything, have nothing to say since he is the one that usually fills in the silence. The absence of his customary jokes and lighthearted conver

The tension in the air was palpable, the whispers among the crowd echoing the gravity of the situation.Leah stood on the opposite side of the clearing, her face a mask of defiance and fear.

The warmth of our camaraderie was a welcome respite from the weight of recent events. Riley seemed more at ease, though she still fretted over her boss's reaction to the car accident."Thanks for being here, guys," Riley said, her smile soft but genuine. "I'm really worried about talking to my boss."Elaine squeezed her hand. "We'll figure it out together. Maybe Jake can offer to cover the damages, considering it was his fault."Riley nodded, her face thoughtful. "I hope he'll understand. I just don't want to lose my job.""Just be honest," I suggested. "Bosses appreciate honesty and a willingness to take responsibility. We'll back you up."As we settled back into our conversation, Jake, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, suddenly spoke up, his voice heavy with emotion."I can't keep this in any longer," he said, his tone serious and urgent.

"It will ensure peace and prosperity for our people."I nodded, appreciating her insight. "And we can invest in better education and training for our warriors. Make sure they are the best."Our conversation was interrupted by the sudden sound of hurried footsteps. We turned to see Jake storming in, looking visibly agitated. Behind him, Riley entered the room, panting heavily. Elaine quickly stood up, concern etched on her face, and rushed over to her friend."Riley, what's wrong?" she asked, her voice filled with worry.Riley glanced at Jake, then back

Today was the day I would officially claim my place beside Killian, and I felt a mix of nerves and excitement.I dressed meticulously, every detail of my attire chosen to reflect the significance of the event.

You think you can mate with a human and keep your place as Alpha? That's not how it works, Killian!"Elaine stiffened beside me, her fear transforming into a simmering rage. "Don't you dare talk about things you don't understand, Leah," she snapped. Before I could stop her, she stepped forward, her eyes flashing with determination."Elaine, don't," I warned, reaching out to pull her back, but she shook off my hand. She was too angry, too filled with righteous indignation to be swayed."You want to see what I'm capable of, Leah?" she challenged, her voice steady and unwavering. "I'll show you."With that, she began to change. I watched in stunned silence as her body shifted and contorted, her human form giving way to something much more powerful.

It was Jake."Killian, we have a situation," he said urgently."What is it?" I asked, already feeling a knot form in my stomach."It's Leah. She's at your townhouse, and there are pack members gathering outside. She's causing a scene, and she's dragging Elaine out with her."My blood ran cold.

I pushed the door open and stepped inside, finding Leah lounging on a chaise with an air of smugness. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw me, but she quickly masked it with a sneer."Killian," she purred, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "What brings you here?""We need to talk," I said, my tone cold and unyielding. I didn't give her a chance to respond as I crossed the room and stood before her.
