Killian's POV. “You did it; you are never innocent!” Elora's words reverberated right inside of me as I made my way out of her room. My insides simmered with so much fury at this point. If there was something I was expecting, it definitely wasn't the fact that Elora would blame or accuse me of trying to hurt her; that was never right, and that was never the plan. Rage kept boiling right inside me, and I couldn't stop it. I couldn't control myself, no matter how I wished to. At this juncture, I recalled her words about the crest of the Blackwood pack. One thing I knew was that the crest of my pack was either given by me or my family members, but as it stands, there was no way I'd give our crest to someone who had intentions of hurting my Luna. “Stella!” Her name escaped my lips the second the realisation dawned on me. She was obviously the one doing this. She loved me so much and would do just about anything to have me, even if it meant killing the one person I desired so much.
Killian's POV. “No one hurts my Luna, and take off unrestricted! Find him and make sure you bring him here! Is that clear?” I commanded with a deep voice, and because Beta Dayton wouldn't want to get on my bad side, he swiftly bowed his head. Reluctantly, he left the room and headed right towards the exit of the mansion. I understood that he didn't want me to be in harm's way; he cared for me so much and wouldn't want anything to happen to me, but at this point, I didn't care. At this point, just one thing meant so much to me, and that was to find out who did it to Elora and prove to her that I was innocent and that I wasn't the kind of Alpha that she presumes me to be. She has always blamed me for killing her father, but little did she know that I had tried to save her father and was almost killed too. “I guess she won't listen to me until I prove it to her! And I must do that sooner! I need to make her see me as her Alpha and her mate!” My fist clenched as I said to myself, my
Elora's POV. I kept on struggling with the fact that Killian had kidnapped me. I was sure that I saw it clearly. I walked into my father's room, and the second I got in, I shut the door right behind me. The scent of him still hung in the room, and I wished for nothing but to have him embrace me tightly, for him to look into my eyes and say he loved me. I sat down at the edge of his bed, grabbing his bedsheet. I couldn't help but begin to sob softly. “I miss you so much, father; I really do!” I let out, with tears filling my eyes at this point. I looked around the room one more time, and my thoughts just focused on seeing him. The sweet memories we had together before his death kept coming into my head, and I wished to stop them, but who was I kidding? It wouldn't stop, not when I still missed him so much. My fist clenched on the dress I was wearing as I stood up from the bed. I walked over to the table in his room. I was going to open it and take a look at what was in his drawer
Elora's POV. “He has a traumatic past, and he can't control himself during the full moon! We have to do something! We must save him!” Stella cried as she pulled herself out of my grip and started again to try to break down the door. She kept on hitting it with her body, which was definitely going to cause harm to her body. She wasn't willing to stop, and it made me feel a sudden guilt on the inside of me. All this time, I was thinking about my painful past, but as it stood, it was certain that Alpha Killian was the one with a tragic past. For an Alpha, as strong as he was to have a traumatic experience, it wasn't just anything that had happened to him. He was pained, and he still blamed himself for what had transpired in the past. “If only I knew, would I not have blamed him or accused him of trying to take my pack away from me?” I pondered, as I couldn't help but hear the growling sound he made right inside the room. I bet werewolves, those who were close by would know that the
Elora's POV. With my claws meandering out and my focus fixed on Killian, I didn't hesitate to walk step by step closer to him. I tried to be cautious because, as it stood, he was dangerous, and getting closer to him wasn't the best option, but at this moment it was my only choice. “I'm not sure why my father selected you to be my husband, and I'm not sure why the moon goddess would make you my mate, Killian...” I paused, still moving with care and precision. “But one thing I know is this: I can't let you kill yourself or die in my pack!” I declared, and with swift action, I rushed towards him. I was going to break through his attack and embrace him, but the second I got pretty close, ready to pass through his hit, Alpha Killian swung his claws, and immediately, they slashed me right on my hand, making me fall to the ground. “Elora… Get out of there right now! Come out! He isn't himself!” Chief Grayson warned as he yelled at the top of his voice, but I still didn't listen. I had
Elora's POV. I felt bad seeing Alpha Killian look so weak and vulnerable. I couldn't stop thinking about how he had glared at me too the second I tried getting closer to where he was standing. “It's all over now, Alpha Killian... It's over, truly!” I muttered as I patted him on the back like he was a child. I knew he couldn't hear what I was saying, but I was certain that his inner wolf was still there and awake. “Elora? Are you okay?” Chief Grayson asked as he and Stella ran into the room. It was obvious that he must have been scared to death, and he wished I had listened to him too. “Elora?” He called out, his hand reaching for my hair, as he thanked the goddess for saving my life before his eyes. He was certain that he had seen me end my own life too. “Can you quit your Thanksgiving and help me out here?” I complained as Killian's weight was becoming too much for me to bear and handle.He was a man, and I was a woman. Even if we were of the same rank, an Alpha, there was no wa
Elora's POV. “You have a mate now, Elora... It's best if you focus on him. I'm sure he needs you to do that, even if he was the one that killed…” Chief Grayson was going to keep saying, but knowing where he was taking his statement, I didn't hesitate to stand on my feet forcefully. My fist clenched as I turned to look at him. If he wasn't someone I took to heart, I was definitely going to say something bad to him. I just had to restrain myself. “I'll be leaving now, Chief!” I bowed my head to him, and without hesitation, I turned on my heels and walked out of the room. I didn't want to hear him talk about Killian not being the one who killed my father. It hasn't been confirmed yet, so it was pretty best if he didn't conclude regardless. With a deep sigh leaving my lips, I walked over to my room, ready to get some rest. As I got closer to the door, I couldn't help but hear whispers from the room. It was obvious that Alpha Killian was in my room, but last time I checked, he was st
Killian's POV. “Mother! Father! Please, please don't go. Don't leave me!” I cried bitterly as pain tore through my insides. I hid at the bottom of the car, just as my mother had instructed me. I was just a weak little boy, without a mother and a father, during the full moon. *******“Ughh!” I gasped as my eyes snapped open, the ceiling in the room welcoming me back to reality immediately. “It was just another dream!” I muttered beneath my breath as I realised that I was never going back to my painful past. That I was never still that little boy who had to lie low while they killed his parents. “It's all just fucked up!” I mumbled softly.Just as I was caught up in my thoughts about what was happening or had happened to me, I suddenly felt something heavy on my right shoulder. Turning to my right-hand side, I found Elora, my Luna lying on my body. At his point, it dawned on me that something must have happened last night during the full moon, seeing how she was closer to me.My e
