Killian's POV“You want me to come with you? Now you feel you own me, right?” she scoffed, folding her arms across her chest as she turned to look at me.“You never wanted me that night, Alpha Killian. So, what has changed?” she asked, her focus fixed on me. Her brows furrowed as she watched me from where she stood.At this point, I wasn't sure what to say to her. Bringing up the past, bringing up that night when I was stupid and silly, never occurred to me. I didn't know she would remember it.I wished to tell her how foolish I was, to expose the full truth, but then, how in the world was I going to do that with Bryce standing before her?I needed to apologise, but I felt Bryce would see me as weak and mock me. What if, after I apologise, she still doesn't agree to go back with me? What next?Several thoughts slammed through my mind as I stood there, mute, unsure of what to say to Elora.‘I'm sorry, Elora… please come back to me,’ I said inwardly, wishing she could hear me.I wasn't
Killian's POVClimbing out of the car, only one thing mattered: informing Chief Grayson that Elora was with Bryce.“Alpha Killian, you are here, but…” Chief Grayson stopped for a second as he looked over my shoulder, wondering if Elora was with me.“Is there a problem?” I asked, my brows creasing as I tried to understand his concern.“I see you but not your Luna, Alpha Elora… is she okay? Is everything fine?” He asked, his tone filled with query and concern.“You want to see Elora?” I asked.“Yes, I have missed her so much. Seeing her wouldn't be a bad idea, you know…” he stated clearly, and I nodded.I was ready at this moment, set to do what I had come to do.“Elora is…” I was going to say, but the words that Dayton had said to me kept echoing in my mind.It was as though my inner wolf was talking to me, as though I was being restricted by something. I couldn't find myself finishing the statement.I oddly found myself not wanting to harm her. I didn't want to see her disappointed in
Killian's POVThe second I lifted my claws, I smashed him right on the hand he had used to block my hit. Blood dripped from his hand, and my claws were stained with his blood too.Everyone who had caught sight of the scene began to mumble, and they all feared me at this moment. They hadn't seen me this way before. They had never seen me act so harshly towards anyone.“I am sorry, Alpha Killian!” He went on his knees, his head bowed to the ground as he apologised to me. I was pretty sure that he was in pain. I was sure that he never expected it, but that was what he got for calling that cunning bitch my Luna.I had just one Luna, and that was Elora and no one else. The fact that they had snatched her before my eyes increased the fury that I felt.Just then, I turned around, my breaths coming out in panting gasps. “I warn you all!” I paused as I glared into each of their eyes.“Never call her my Luna! I have just one Luna! Let this serve as a warning! Is that clear?” I commanded, and be
Elora's POV.“He looked pretty disappointed in me at that moment!” I muttered to myself as I kept staring at my wristband, gently touching it or rubbing it.One thing that I never expected was the fact that Alpha Killian would show up all of a sudden in the Ocean Pack.I thought he never wanted me, he never wanted to see me because I didn't have an heir for him yet, just as the elders had kept on persuading him to get. I felt increasingly bad knowing that he had left in the first place.I felt guilty too and wasn't sure anymore what I was going to do from here.“You know, you should have gone with him to the Blackwood Pack when I urged you to do so, Elora!” Kyla, my inner wolf, criticised me as I sat still.She had urged me to go with Alpha Killian back then, but I didn't listen. I wasn't sure what had kept on pushing me, but I just didn't find myself wanting to head back to the Blackwood Pack with Killian.“That's enough, Kyla!” I warned angrily. I hated it so much whenever she was r
Elora's POVThe second I got into the park, ready to find a place to sit and get distracted, my eyes caught sight of the one person I didn't want to see: Chief Graysin.My heart raced rapidly as my eyes widened. I was doomed, and there definitely wasn't anything I could do. He'd find me and ask me questions that I knew would upset him.Just as my heart raced and my mind couldn't find what to do next, I suddenly felt a strong grip around my hand from behind.“What is…” I was about to let out and fight against the grip, but immediately, it pulled me backward, making me collide with the body frame of a big man.His scent wafted through my nostrils, and I was certain that I had perceived such a scent before. It wasn't an unfamiliar person; I was grabbed by someone I knew.Lifting my face to see who it was, I found Alpha Killian staring deeply into my eyes with that tempting gaze of his. My heart thumped even faster this time.My hand rested on his chest, and I couldn't help but feel the w
Elora's POV“Have you been stalking me, Alpha Killian? Have you been monitoring my footsteps all this while?” I snapped as my fist clenched while I glared at him.I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that he'd stoop so low just to make sure that he kisses me in a park right in front of everyone.“I didn't stalk you, Elora!” he responded finally, his hand sliding into his pockets as he watched me.“Then what? What were you doing? How did you fucking know I was here? And somehow, you knew that Chief Grayson was here, didn't you?” I squinted my eyes as I looked at him.I was waiting for an explanation. I was waiting for him to open up to me and tell me he didn't stalk me, but who was I kidding? He definitely was stalking me.“No one told me you were here, Elora… and I didn't stalk you!” he repeated like he was some robot being controlled by a human.“Then fucking how? Can you just tell me already? Since I am misunderstanding you, tell me how you knew I was here if it isn't by stalki
Killian's POVJust as she turned around, I couldn't help it; I couldn't let my own best friend, my mate, and Luna walk out on me that way. Without hesitation and a second thought, I charged towards her, grabbed her hand, and turned her back to me.“Please don’t do this, Elora… Imagining a life without you is hell on its own, let alone living it! Please!” I begged, swallowing my pride just to get what I wanted.Just as Beta Dayton had urged me back at the mansion, he had warned me clearly not to be harsh towards her. He had told me to make her see how much I loved her, and that was what I was doing or trying to do.I needed her to see how much I loved her, but I guess what I did wasn't enough. She immediately pulled her hand out of my grip, and before I could utter another word, she spun on her heels and ran out of my sight.“Elora!” I muttered, tears welling up in my eyes at this moment. I couldn’t stop them from trickling down my face.Who would believe it, that Alpha Killian, the al
Killian's POV.The ride back to the pack was filled with nothing more than silence and tension in the car. I would have felt good if Elora had returned with me to the pack, but at this point, the only thing I could think about was Dayton.The fact that I had found him crying made me feel bad. I made him that way; I made him act weak for the first time.I knew that Dayton liked and cared about me, but one thing I didn't expect was to find him loving me.My fist clenched as I kept staring at him while he drove. If I had listened to him or at least included him as I was heading to the pack, then maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't be sad. Maybe I would have gotten Elora to myself; maybe I wouldn't have collapsed before everyone in the pack."You know, if you keep staring at me that way, I might end up losing control of the wheels, Alpha Killian!" Dayton notified as he glanced at me from the rearview mirror.He had noticed me watching and stealing glances at him. Well, that was all I could do
