Elora's POV."Reject Alpha Killian and come to me, Elora!" Alpha Rohan declared, making my eyes snap wide with shock and surprise."We were the ones who were supposed to get married, Elora… I'm sure you are aware!" He stated as he reached for my hand and grabbed it in his."Are you insane?" I exclaimed, my eyes widening as I focused on him."It's not a crime to want what I deserve, Elora. You are mine, not Alpha Killian's! The earlier you accept that, the better!" he said, leaving me speechless.Now I saw why I should have just kept running, why I should have kept moving and never looked back.As it stood, Alpha Rohan was insane. He was acting like he had been possessed, and I couldn't believe he was the one I had considered marrying."There's no way that I am going to let go of Alpha Killian and marry you, Alpha Rohan!" I declared with a tightened fist."You won't marry me? You won't let me help you out of your clothes? What will you let me do, Elora?" He asked with a sneer on his li
Elora's POV"I warned you, Elora… we should leave now… please! I hate Rohan… I don't want to be anywhere around him!" Kyla urged, but how was I going to leave?"It's already late, Kyla… we will leave once it is dawn!" I stated, thinking she would listen to me, but her focus was just on leaving."I'm not comfortable staying here, Elora… I don't like it here, and the only way to help me is by leaving! He might do something crazy later on! We both know he wasn't joking earlier!" Kyla uttered, thinking I’d listen to her.With my hand still placed on my chest, I walked over to the bed and sat on it. I wasn't sure anymore about my life, myself, and everything.I was supposed to head over to the Ocean Pack, but here I was, in Rohan's pack."What have I gotten myself into?" I struck my forehead in frustration as I tried to get my head together.I needed to understand the situation before I acted. It was pretty dark, and some rogue could attack me on my way out of the pack.At this moment, it
Elora's POV“I want you, Elora, and no one else!” Rohan stated clearly as he held me tightly. He wasn't going to let go; he wasn't willing to let go of my body at this moment.Just as I kept screaming, praying silently for someone to help me, the doors were hurled open by the kick of someone.At first, I had thought that it was Alpha Killian coming to help me. Maybe he had sensed me being in danger as his mate, but again for the night, I was wrong; he wasn't the one.“Bryce?” I exclaimed as my eyes glistened at the sight of him before the door. He was furious, and most of all, he wasn't going to let go of Rohan, who was holding me and had tried taking me by force.At the sound of Bryce's name, Rohan turned to look behind himself, and seeing Bryce standing by the door, a vicious smirk curled up on his lips.“I'll come back to you later, my precious!” he snarled as he let go of me and shifted his gaze back to Bryce.I folded myself on the bed, my arms wrapped around my legs like a child
Elora's POV“Now I am done with you, back to my meal for tonight!” Alpha Rohan snarled as he turned to me, his dark, narrowed glare fixed on me.He began to walk towards me, and although I knew I couldn't shift into my wolf form, there was no way I would let him take over me.I stood up from the bed and with my fists clenched, I ran towards him. I was going to hit him, I was going to punch him in the face, but the second I got closer to him, he grabbed my hand and wrapped his second arm around my waist, pulling me close to himself.“Let go of me, Rohan! You are not yourself, can't you see? Snap out of it now!” I struggled to pull out of his grip, but he wasn't willing to let me out that easily.“Not myself? Well, that's because I haven't touched you yet, you haven't given me the chance to devour every single bit of you!” His hand caressed my hair gently as he smiled viciously.“Come to me, Elora!” He leaned closer and was going to kiss me.His lips had already gotten pretty close to m
Elora's POVThe second I turned around, I was going to run off, I was going to run to Alpha Killian's mansion, but Bryce rushed towards me, grabbing my hand and stopping me in my tracks.“You are kidding right now, right?” he questioned, a scoff leaving his lips.“I… I am not joking right now, Bryce!” I stated clearly, my eyes fixed on him. I had regretted leaving the pack's mansion in the first place. I had regretted going with Alpha Rohan to his pack, and now that I had the chance to correct all my wrongs, Bryce was trying to stop me.“You can't see that Alpha Killian doesn't care about you? Look at what you just went through, Elora! See the pain and the shame you would have experienced if Alpha Rohan had succeeded!” He tried explaining things to me, but I still remained stubborn. I just didn't want to listen to his rant.“And what does he have to do with it? He didn't know! And besides, he wasn't himself when I left the mansion!” I let out, forcing my hand out of his grip at this m
Elora's POVThe morning light pierced through the window, forcing my eyes open. The brightness felt intrusive, as if refusing to let me rest any longer. I wanted to sleep more, but it seemed impossible now.Still trying to gather my thoughts, I was abruptly pulled out of my reverie by the loud clattering of a glass bottle on the ground, making me snap my eyes to the direction of the door.“Bryce can’t be awake by this time, right?” I mumbled, my breaths coming out in heavy gasps, my eyes widening in shock.“Are we in danger?” I asked myself, climbing out of bed.After what had happened last night, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Everything seemed wrong, like we were in danger, and there was no way we would survive if they got a strong hold of us.Without hesitation, I walked over to the door, my fist clenching tightly as I gripped the doorknob. Twitching it, I opened the door, ready to fight whoever was in the living room. But as I walked out of the room, I found Bryce sitting on the
Elora's POV.“That hurts!” He smiled, but I knew he wasn't fine.“It would have hurt more if you didn't find out in time!” I pointed out, and without hesitation, I closed the box. I bet he could see me too, he could see how sad I was.Bryce's hand reached for mine, and taking my hand into his, he made me turn to look at him.“I just didn't want you to worry, and that was why I kept it away from you, Elora… I'm sorry!” He let out, and I couldn't help but nod.“I'm sorry I made you go through this… I didn't mean to!” I mumbled softly.“Quit crying, it doesn't suit you!” He gave notice to my acts, prompting me to wipe the tears from my cheeks.I felt so bad as I sat down with Bryce that for a second, I wished he was going to heal up fast and get back to his normal self again.“That reminds me, Elora… you need to get something to eat!” He was going to stand up and leave, but just then, a thought came into my mind, and I needed to ask.“Bryce?” I grabbed his hand as I called his name. “Wha
Elora's POV.“Elora? Elora, come on, wake up!” Bryce's voice boomed through the silence and the darkness that had enveloped me earlier.“What is happening? Are we being attacked again?” I grumbled as I fought to open my eyes, just to stare at him and know why the hell he was trying to wake me from my beauty sleep.I thought we had agreed to get some sleep and not wake up until dawn, but as it stood, it was still night. Everywhere was dark but not quiet. I wasn't sure anyone went to bed in the Ocean Pack.“Just get your lazy ass up… we don't have to be attacked for me to wake you up from sleep!” Bryce stated, a faint smile on his lips.He was happier than he was when we were eating together.“Can't this wait till dawn? I'm fucking exhausted, Bryce… I need to rest!” I grunted as I rolled on the bed lazily. My body felt too heavy.It was difficult to get out of bed at this moment. I needed to sleep more and not be disturbed.“Get up and get ready in five minutes, Elora! I'll be waiting b
