Elaine’s POV

I lay in bed, my body still and my breathing steady, pretending to be asleep. My eyes remained closed, but my senses were heightened.

I could feel Killian outside, his presence like an electric current in the air. He thought he could watch me unnoticed, that I was still that vulnerable human unable to sense him. Jokes on him.

Even without opening my eyes, I knew exactly where he was, and could almost see the intensity in his gaze as he watched me. I had felt him the moment he arrived, his energy unmistakable and all-consuming. He thought he was being stealthy, but he underestimated me.

I shifted slightly, letting the sheets rustle just enough to be convincing. My mind raced with thoughts of him, the memory of his touch, and the confusion of why he would stalk me like this. What was he hoping to achieve by watching me sleep?

Despite my outward calm, my heart was pounding. The thought of him standing outside, watching me, sent a mix of emotions through me—anger, curiosity

I straightened my tie, ensuring every detail was perfect, then headed out to the meeting room.The cabinet was already assembled when I arrived. The room was heavy with the scent of polished wood and leather, the air thick with anticipation. Each member of my cabinet was a seasoned leader in their own right, and today, I needed their undivided attention and support."Good morning," I greeted them, my voice calm and authoritative as I took my seat at the head of the long table.

    Elaine’s POV The cool morning air filled my lungs as I ran through the dense woods, the sound of my footsteps muffled by the soft earth and fallen leaves. The forest was now my sanctuary, a place where I could let go of the weight of my responsibilities and focus on something simpler—my physical strength. Since I started eating werewolf food, I’ve been gaining weight. My pace quickened, my muscles burning with the effort. I pushed myself harder, wanting to feel the burn, to distract myself from the thoughts that haunted me. I had no wolf to shift into, unlike the others in my pack, and it was a reminder of my difference, my weakness. The moon goddess had promised me a white wolf, but she had yet to deliver. Sweat trickled down my back as I sprinted up a steep incline, my breath coming in heavy gasps. The moon goddess... Was she real? Was the promise of the white wolf just a cruel joke? I didn’t know, and the uncertainty gnawed at me. Without a wolf, I felt incomplete, less than t

    Elaine’s POV Watching Killian's every move had become second nature to me. His attempts to secure evidence and bring me under his custody were as relentless as they were transparent. I was always one step behind him, shadowing his movements with a calculated precision. He was methodical, determined, and incredibly focused—but so was I. Every time he went through documents, combed through reports, or held hushed meetings with his cabinet, I was there. I knew his patterns, his tells. The way his brow furrowed when he was deep in thought, the slight clench of his jaw when he encountered a dead end—it all told me volumes about his state of mind. He was hunting me, obsessed with bringing me in, but I wouldn't let him win. I had my own sources, my own ways of gathering information. I wasn't just passively waiting for him to make his move. I was actively dismantling his plans, piece by piece. If he thought he could outmanoeuvre me, he was sorely mistaken. I should have known.

"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.

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.
