Send your gems Elliot's way, he needs them :(
ElliotI stormed into Julian’s villa, fury burning through every fiber of my being, only to learn from one of his cowering helpers that they’d gone out on a date night. My fist met the nearest wall with a sickening thud, sending cracks spidering through the plaster. The helper flinched, his wide eyes betraying his fear as I began rifling through her belongings, driven by an insatiable need to find... something. Anything.Her room was steeped in her scent—sickeningly sweet and maddeningly intoxicating. It did nothing to soothe the feral beast clawing inside me. If anything, it stoked the inferno of my rage. She wasn’t here, but every second spent in that space amplified the storm of fury roaring in my chest.“Alpha,” Kai’s voice broke through the haze, his tone clipped but hesitant. “Tristan’s shared their live location. It’s about a twenty-minute drive from here.”I slammed her laptop shut and shoved it into Kai’s hands. “Take it,” I growled through clenched teeth. My thoughts seared w
LilaTerror wrapped itself around my heart as Elliot’s icy gaze bore into mine. I couldn’t trust him—not with the truth, not with the fragile life growing inside me. His thirst for vengeance ran deeper than the ocean, and I knew he would stop at nothing to destroy my pack, even if it meant using my baby as a pawn.Elliot wasn’t just dangerous; he was the devil himself. His searing icy blue eyes, so perilous and unrelenting, promised a storm I wasn’t sure I could weather. But I would fight him. For my baby. For Julian, who had risked his life to protect me.Closing my eyes, I forced the lie past trembling lips. “Julian is the father of my baby. And I love him.”The silence that followed was deafening, the air heavy with unspoken fury. When I dared to open my eyes, I saw his grip on my wrists loosen slightly, but his rage didn’t fade. His aura surged like a tidal wave, suffocating and cold. His wolf was close to the surface, and its icy blue eyes pierced through the storm swirling in his
ElliotI let my wolf take control the moment I stormed out of the packhouse, my body shifting mid-stride as I tore through the forest. The guards stationed outside my floor had been rattled by my earlier outburst, their timid knocks at the door earning them a sharp mind-linked command to stay away unless summoned.After locking Lila inside, I ensured no escape was possible. My voice had been lethal when I ordered the guards to remain outside the door and ensure she didn’t set one foot beyond it. If she managed to flee, I promised them they wouldn’t live to see another sunrise.The cool night air stroked my fur as I broke into a furious run with no destination in mind. The forest swallowed me whole, its shadows providing the seclusion I craved to unleash the storm brewing inside me. Every muscle in my body burned as my paws dug into the earth, the weight of my rage and pain threatening to consume me whole.My wolf was seething, his anguish intertwining with mine. He replayed her words i
ElliotHe had the audacity to threaten me, standing on my territory, forgetting his place. A dry chuckle escaped my lips as I took a step closer, my powerful aura unfurling around me like a storm cloud.“Please, spare me, Alpha,” I said mockingly, sniffling as though pleading for mercy. Then my expression darkened, pinning him with a death glare. “That’s what you expected when you dared to threaten your Alpha?” I snarled, my voice low and venomous, reminding him exactly who he was dealing with.The motherfucker held my gaze, defiance flickering in his eyes as he fought back against the weight of my aura. Foolish. I let my power roll off me in relentless waves, suffocating him until his knees almost buckled. It didn’t take long for him to lower his gaze, defeated.Julian may have been an Alpha in his own right, but I was stronger. My parents were fated mates, their bond granting me a power far beyond the ordinary. Add to that my official Alpha status of the Blue Moon pack and the streng
LilaMy breath hitched as Elliot rested his hand possessively on my thigh, the heat from his touch sending sparks racing through my body. I felt Julian's gaze burning into me, but I dared not look his way. Elliot’s commanding presence made it impossible to focus on anything else.Questions swirled relentlessly in my mind, refusing to settle.What was Julian doing in Elliot’s packhouse?Why was Elliot letting him sit at the same table?And why did Thomas—the Alpha King—seem so casual about it?It didn’t make sense. Allowing a stranger, especially one from another pack, to sit at the Alpha’s table was unheard of. Yet here they all were, acting as though it was completely normal.“Let’s eat,” Elliot ordered, his deep voice rich with authority. His next words, however, made my heart stutter in my chest.“The breakfast has been prepared specifically for my mate. She’s carrying my pup, so I’ll make sure she gets the nutrition she needs. Right, darling?”My heart stopped.How did he find out
ElliotI knew that bastard had chased after her the moment he excused himself from the table. And of course, I was fucking right. What caught me off guard, though, was how my mate handled it. Her response was so satisfying, I couldn’t suppress the inner smirk curling inside me. She didn’t trust him anymore. She wanted him to stay the hell away from her.Finally, we were on the same page about something. My wolf practically purred at the thought, his smug satisfaction echoing in my head. But the cherry on top? Her expression. The shock in those gorgeous emerald eyes when she realized I knew about the baby. She confirmed it without a single word, her wide-eyed panic saying everything.I bet she hadn’t told anyone—not even Julian. That was clear from the stunned look on his face. Poor fool didn’t see it coming.But none of that mattered right now. She was fucking mine. And no one—not Julian, not anyone—was going to take her away from me.“I don’t need you, Elliot,” she snarled, her voice
ElliotI shut the door behind us, motioning for her to sit in my chair while I strode to the safe tucked discreetly into the wall of my office. Only my Beta knew of its existence, a testament to how much I guarded the secrets within. Twisting the combination lock, I retrieved a set of documents and straightened, the papers feeling heavier than they should as I approached her.“Here,” I said, handing them to her.Lila took them cautiously, her emerald eyes narrowing in confusion as she began to read. I leaned back against the desk, crossing my arms as I silently observed the myriad emotions flit across her face—confusion, shock, disbelief.“Why?” she finally asked, her voice soft yet filled with suspicion.“I wanted to return it to its rightful owner,” I said simply, shrugging as if it were the easiest decision in the world. “Sheldon was stupid enough not to read the fine print before signing. He didn’t even bother to read the name on the document.”The weight of my partial truth gnawed
LilaThe burn in my throat was sharp yet oddly soothing, chasing away the storm of emotions threatening to pull me under. I set the glass down with a shaky sigh, trying to gather the scattered pieces of my resolve. No. I wasn’t going to let my heartbreak win tonight.“You need to get drunk, forget everything, and actually live for once,” Sophia declared, pouring me another drink, her tone as unapologetic as her glossy red lipstick.Elena smirked, leaning in closer, her voice dripping with mischief. “Or better yet, the fastest way to forget a man? Get under another one. Preferably one with abs carved by the gods and a tongue that knows its way around,” she added, sliding the vodka bottle toward me with a wink.I couldn’t help the bitter laugh that bubbled up, though tears threatened to follow. My father’s harsh words echoed in my mind—words that had crushed me more than I’d ever admit.“You’re just an omega, a low ranked she-wolf, Lila. And I was cursed with having a weakling so just be

ElliotThe voice on the other end of the call was male, and something about it clawed at the edges of my memory. It was maddeningly familiar, though I couldn’t yet put a name to it. My wolf prowled restlessly, an aggressive force pushing against my control. The mere idea of another man near her had him on edge, his possessiveness snarling and wild.She was mine, and even if she didn’t know it yet, she’d remember it for the rest of her life.“Where is she right now? I want the exact location, every damn detail about the house she lives in, and the person who owns it and the people she meets,” I barked at Kai, shoving my phone back into my pocket.Kai, my Beta, stood stiffly, sensing the storm in my tone. “Understood, Alpha. Did something happen?” he asked cautiously.I shot him a glare that could have melted steel. “Shouldn’t you already know? I told you to assign the best trackers to her and update me on her every move.” My snarl reverberated through the room, punctuated by the thud of
LilaJulian placed the mug of my chocolate milkshake on the table before settling into the chair beside me. I reached for the mug, stirring the straw absentmindedly, while he sipped his coffee in silence.“I’ve been living away from my pack and family,” he began, his voice low and hesitant. He swallowed hard, as though forcing himself to push the words out.His unease was palpable, the pain in his eyes cutting through the air between us. A part of me wanted to stop him, to spare him from reopening wounds that hadn’t yet healed. But I stayed quiet, unwilling to let sympathy blur my judgment.Kindness was fucking dangerous. I had learned that the hard way.“The truth is,” Julian continued, his voice taut with restraint, “my father loves me, but I can’t be around him. He’s a constant reminder of everything I’ll never have—a normal family, a normal life. The whole pack wishes I’d never been born. They don’t say it, but I see it in their eyes. My mom… she was only a teenager like you when s
