Elaine’s POV I stumbled through the noisy crowd, the music pounding in my ears as the room spun around me. The alcohol had gone straight to my head, leaving me unsteady on my feet and barely able to focus. My thoughts were a chaotic blur, and I couldn't even remember how many drinks I'd had.Suddenly, a strong hand gripped my arm, steadying me. I blinked and looked up to see Killian's concerned face, his eyes scanning me with a mixture of worry and frustration. He was saying something, but the words were lost in the haze. All I could do was nod dumbly, leaning into his solid presence.He guided me through the throngs of people, and I vaguely registered the angry glare of the guy he'd just pulled me away from. Killian's grip tightened, and I felt a sense of safety that cut through the drunken fog.When did I even lost him? We made our way upstairs, away from the deafening noise and the sea of bodies. He opened a door and led me into a quiet room, closing the door behind us. The sudde
Elaine’s POV A chill runs up my back, making me shiver. Without permission, Killian's free hand yanks my dress up, and then his warm hand lands on my stomach.My heart races when his hand starts making its way up my rib cage and to my bra. I swallow nervously, and my thighs tighten when he slides his hand under the material and up over my sensitive breasts. I should be embarrassed for two reasons. One, he’s a stranger, and two, my chest is wet from the alcohol spilled on it. But that’s not the case. As I lean my head back on his chest, a moan escapes my numb lips. I lick them just in case I’m drooling. I’ve imagined what it would feel like to be touched. To know what it’s like to be sexually wanted for so long. I wish I wasn’t so drunk, so I could really take it in.“I was watching you earlier,” Killian admits shamelessly into my ear. “Your little boyfriend is over you. Let me help you get over him.”The words send a jolt through me, making my heart pound even harder. His breath i
Elaine’s POV Stepping into me, Killian lifts his right hand and once again runs it down my face and neck, pausing on my pulse. It’s racing. My breathing is ragged. I feel like I might pass out soon. Dropping his hand, he walks behind me again, and I hear a drawer open and close. Then darkness covers my eyes.I lift my hands to remove it. “What…?”The material falls to my feet, and my arms are grabbed and yanked behind my back. Then I’m bent over the side of the bed. I’d scream, but my breath gets caught in my throat. He holds my wrists crossed with one hand while I hear the sound of metal before something cold is tightened around each wrist.Is this his fucking room? I’m sure we haven’t left the party house yet since the music is booming down below. Will Riley look for me? Shit shit shit. But I want this. So fucking much. I want to forget everything. “Stay,” he growls before I feel the loss of his body.I’m panting, my body shaking while I wait here like an obedient dog, pulling on
Killian’s POV I toss her onto the bed, lying on her back. She cries out when she lands on her restrained wrists. I yank my mask off and drop it to the floor, then I remove her heels before pulling her jeans down her legs.“Yes.” She moans, arching her back.I remove her underwear as well and place them in my pocket. She won’t be getting those back. Crawling onto the bed, I spread her legs while running my hands up her thighs. They shake, and she’s panting. I imagine her like this with Matt, and my fingers dig into her skin. I hope the bastard saw me following her off the dance floor.Whimpering, she gets my attention, and I let up on her. Spreading her legs wider, I lean down and look over her pussy. It’s clean-shaven and glistening already, making my mouth start to water instantly. Running my thumb over it, I spread her open and lower my face, licking her pretty cunt.Her hips jump, and I hold them down in place.“Oh, God …” She trails off.Her taste is intoxicating, a mix of desire
Elaine’s POV I wake up the next morning, the room bathed in a soft, early morning light filtering through sheer curtains. The bed feels vast and empty, and I’m all alone. There's no sign of Killian, except for his lingering scent that clings to my skin and the sheets, a tantalizing reminder of his presence. I stretch, feeling the slight ache in my muscles, and sit up, taking in my surroundings.The room is elegantly furnished, with dark wooden furniture that exudes an air of sophistication. A large, ornate mirror hangs on the wall opposite the bed, reflecting the soft glow from a crystal chandelier overhead. The bed itself is a four-poster, draped in luxurious, cream-colored linens and an assortment of plush pillows. A small sitting area with a tufted loveseat and a coffee table sits near a window, which offers a glimpse of the sprawling gardens outside.My clothes from last night are scattered on the floor, a reminder of the wildness of the previous evening. I pull the covers arou
Killian’s POVI pace the length of my room, my thoughts consumed by nothing and no one but Elaine. Her image haunts me: the way she looked last night, vulnerable yet defiant, her presence stirring something deep within me. I had to leave her alone this morning; staying would have made things awkward. We were both drunk, after all. But I wasn't that drunk. I knew exactly what I was doing. I knew where I wanted to stop. I know what I want. I wanted to have a taste, to tap into that same darkness of hers that matches mine. As I walked away from her this morning, her scent still lingered on my skin, a constant reminder of the boundary I almost crossed. My mind races, replaying every moment, every touch, every breath.It’s a wonder no one has stopped me and asked why I scent like Elaine. Leah must be drunk somewhere too because I haven’t seen her since yesterday. Not even at the party. I clench my fists, frustration boiling over. Damn it. Thank the goddess I stopped when I did, or fuck,
Elaine’s POV I lie in bed after Riley dropped me off, staring at the ceiling and letting the events of the previous night swirl through my mind. Riley had invited me to play basketball, but I declined, needing the solitude to process everything. The bed feels cool and empty, a stark contrast to the heat and intensity of last night.I close my eyes, trying to piece together the fragmented memories. The way Killian looked at me, the way his touch sent shivers down my spine. There was a connection, a dark pull between us that I couldn't ignore. He couldn’t either. As much as I try to focus, the details remain hazy, blurred by the alcohol and the overwhelming emotions.The room is quiet, save for the distant sounds of life continuing outside. I can almost hear Riley's laughter and the rhythmic bounce of the basketball. But here, in the silence of my room, it's just me and my thoughts. I replay every moment I can remember, the way Killian’s hands felt on my skin, the intensity in his e
Elaine’s POV Monday rolled in too fast, dragging me from the haze of my weekend into the harsh light of a new week. I had hoped to spend more time wallowing in the memory of that night, replaying the sensation of coming more than twice in a single encounter—something I had never experienced before. It was as if my body had come alive in ways I hadn't known possible, and now, every nerve seemed to buzz with the memory of Killian's touch.The memory of his hands on my body, his mouth on mine, kept me awake through the nights, and I found myself replaying every detail. The way his breath had hitched when I moaned, the almost feral look in his eyes as he pushed me to the brink again and again, and the raw intensity that had burned between us. Each time I tried to distract myself, his image would invade my thoughts, leaving me restless and yearning for more. As Monday approached, a sense of dread settled in my stomach. The thought of seeing Killian again filled me with a mix of fear an
### Epilogue: A New DawnThe sun rose over the valley, casting a warm, golden light that signified a new beginning. The pack gathered at the clearing, the air filled with a sense of hope and renewal. It had been months since Leah's downfall, and the wounds left by her treachery were slowly healing.Elaine stood at the edge of the forest, her white fur glowing in the early morning light. She looked out over her pack, feeling a deep sense of peace and fulfillment. This was where she belonged, and she had earned her place among them through strength, courage, and an unyielding sense of justice.Killian approached her, his royal attire reflecting the dawn's light. His presence was a calming force, a reminder of the bond they shared and the future they were building together. He reached out, gently taking her hand in his."Are you ready?" he asked, his voice soft and filled with love.Elaine nodded, a smile playing on her lips. "More than ever."Together, they walked towards the heart of t
Elaine’s POVThe morning sun cast a golden hue over the clearing, the perfect setting for what was to come. A large crowd of pack members had gathered, their eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. 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. She tried to mask her fear with arrogance, but I could see the flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. This was it. The culmination of all her scheming and cruelty. She had nowhere left to hide, and her fate was sealed.I took a deep breath, feeling the power of my wolf surging within me. This was why I had changed into a wolf in the first place, to bring justice and reclaim my rightful place. I stepped forward, the crowd parting to make way for me, their whispers growing louder."Elaine," I heard Killian's voice, filled with both pride and concern. I glanced back at him, giving a small nod.
Killian’s POVElaine, Riley, and I sat comfortably in the living room, discussing everything from kingdom affairs to light-hearted gossip. 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.
Killian’s POVElaine and I sat comfortably in the main living room, discussing our plans for ruling the kingdom. The warm sunlight filtered through the large windows, casting a golden hue over the room. I leaned back in my chair, a contented smile on my face as we shared ideas and dreams for our future reign."We should focus on strengthening our alliances with neighboring packs," Elaine suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "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
Elaine’s POV The next day dawned with an air of anticipation, the excitement of the upcoming ball palpable throughout the palace. I stood in my room, the soft morning light filtering through the grand windows, casting a warm glow on the elegant furnishings. 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. The gown was a deep midnight blue, the fabric rich and luxurious, cascading in elegant waves down to the floor. The intricate embroidery sparkled subtly, catching the light with every movement. I checked my reflection in the mirror, ensuring that everything was in place, feeling the weight of the moment.Riley stood beside me, equally dressed to the nines. She had been a constant support through the tumultuous events of recent days, and seeing her ready for the ball filled me with a sense of camaraderie and reassurance. Her
Killian’s POV But as Leah turned to leave, she whirled around again, her eyes blazing with fury. "You think you can just dismiss me like that? 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. In mere moments, Elaine had transformed into a magnificent white wolf, her fur gleaming like fresh
Killian’s POVBut I should have known Leah wouldn’t leave so easily. The next thing I knew, while I was going through my list of new elders, my phone rang. 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 wasted no time, bolting from my office and racing towards my townhouse. The drive felt like an eternity, each second ticking by in agonizing slowness. When I finally arrived, the scene was worse than I had imagined.A crowd of pack members had gathered, their faces filled with confusion and concern. Leah stood at the center of it all, gripping Elaine's arm tightly. Elaine looked frightened but defiant, her eyes searching the crowd for me."Leah!" I roared, pushing through the throng of onlookers. "Let her go!"She turned to face me, her exp
Killian’s POVAs Killian, I marched through the palace halls with a sense of determination, the echoes of my footsteps reverberating against the cold stone walls. It was time to confront Leah and put an end to her manipulative games once and for all. She had taken things too far, and I wasn't going to let her continue poisoning the pack with her lies and deceit.When I reached her quarters, I didn't bother knocking. 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. "Your time here is over, Leah."Her eyes narrowed, and she sat up, crossing her arms over her chest. "You can't just throw me out. I have every right to be here.""You
Killian’s POV The sun had barely risen when I decided it was time to confront the elders. It was a pivotal day, one that would determine the future course of our pack. With resolve, I called for a meeting with the cabinet elders, knowing that the truth would soon come to light.As I entered the council chamber, eleven elders were already seated, their faces a mix of curiosity and suspicion. I could feel the weight of their eyes on me, scrutinizing my every move. Taking a deep breath, I addressed them with a calm but authoritative voice. "Thank you all for coming on such short notice," I began, my gaze sweeping over the room. "There are matters of great importance that need to be addressed."Without hesitation, I moved to the heart of the issue. "After careful consideration and investigation, it has come to my attention that some among you have not been loyal to our pack. Your allegiance lies elsewhere, with those who seek to undermine our unity and strength."A murmur of unease ripp
