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
Elora's POV.Bryce climbed out of the car, walking over to my side to help me out.He opened the door and expected me to climb out of the car, but I had to look around twice before doing so. It was a public place, and Chief Grayson could catch me right in my crimes. He didn't know I wasn't back at the pack, and he wouldn't be happy either if he saw me with Bryce.“Come on, Elora... Chief Grayson isn't here right now! Just come out…” he urged, making me snap my gaze to him.“How did you…” I was going to say, but he took the words right out of my mouth.“Know?” He cackled briefly. “Trust me, I know more than you can imagine, Elora… now can you get out of the car?” He begged, and grabbing my purse, I wasted no time climbing out of the car.The minute I took a step forward and Bryce had the door shut, everyone who had their eyes fixed on me bowed their heads to me.“Alpha Elora!” They greeted, making me pause for a split second. They were all happy to see me, and they didn't stop bowing t
Killian's POV.“We have to ensure that all packs come together to make the entire….”The pack elders were discussing as they all sat down before me. Well, we were having a meeting as usual, and I was expected to listen to them, to contribute to what they were saying, but how could I do such when I had barely set my eyes on my mate?How could I give them my attention when they were the ones who had made me angry and drunk that day? They had made me argue with my mate without looking back, so as it stood, their discussion wasn’t my priority.Elora was etched in my mind like glue that wouldn’t come off anytime soon. I missed her like mad. I wished to hold her. I craved her.If only she was with me in the pack’s mansion, then trust me, this meeting wouldn’t take place because I’d send each of them away.My hand thumped lazily on the table as my gaze was fixed on them. I was enjoying the view. It was better to stay quiet and not speak to the men before me.After all, they had taken the Alp
Killian's POV“I suggest that…” I paused, staring at each of them properly before I spoke up. “It's best we let the Alpha of the East handle this… it isn't my duty anymore!” I concluded, and they ended up looking at each other and mumbling to themselves.It made me smile seeing them in such a situation. Without hesitation, I stood to my feet. “Since the meeting is over, I'd like to head back to my room. My Luna awaits me!” Without a second glance at any of them, I headed towards the door.Chief Han didn't utter a single word, unlike him. He must have felt humiliated by how I ignored him and spoke to someone with more power than him.Shutting the door in their faces, I headed for my room. I had to lie about my Luna so they wouldn't suspect anything.The second I got into my room, I was welcomed with guilt and regrets as the silence in the room surfaced before me.The minute I spoke harsh words to her, the second I looked her in the eyes and made her feel like she meant nothing to me,
Killian's POV“I'm sorry that I can't be the Alpha you want me to be. I tried, trust me, I tried to be the right one, but I guess I'm nothing close to what you want, right?” I scoffed as my eyes began to turn moist.They had begun to swell because of the regrets gnawing at my insides. If there was anything I wished for right now, it was to find Elora walking into the same room that I was in.Just then, I looked at my phone on the table before me. I picked it up and, unlocking it, I went to my contact list.The second I caught sight of Elora's contact, I was going to click on it and call her, but then, my hand hung in the air, right close to the contact.“She doesn't want me; she doesn't want to hear from me! Not even for a second!” I mumbled as I shook my head and tossed the phone to my bed, turning it off.“What are you doing, Killian? Get a hold of yourself, will you!” I demanded as I let out a sigh.I walked over to my bed, and sitting on it, I rubbed my hand on my head gently, try
Killian's POV:"Luna Elora isn't in the Ocean Pack's mansion!" Dayton finally declared, halting me in my tracks."What?" My brows creased as I stared at him in utter confusion and uncertainty. "You're joking, right?""No, Alpha Killian! Luna Elora isn't in the pack's mansion. She has never been there, and at this point, Chief Grayson is worried, knowing she isn't in the Blackwood Pack!" he explained in full detail, my fist clenching tightly."If she isn't at the Ocean Pack, then where could she be?" I mumbled, my thoughts racing. I just couldn't believe it."Last I checked, Alpha Killian… She ran out of the mansion at night. Do you think she might have been captured by rogues or..." I cut in abruptly."Shut up, Dayton! Elora is stronger than you expect… she can't be caught unless she wants to be caught!" I uttered, biting my lower lip in uncertainty and curiosity.She had no friends in the Blackwood Pack, and the Elora I knew was a strong Alpha too."No! This can't be happening!" I sh
Killian's POV“Meet Scarlet Holmes, Alpha Killian… She is to be your new Luna and the Luna of the Blackwood pack. We need her, and guess what, she's from the Blackwood pack!” Chief Han declared, making me pause right in my tracks, my brows arched as I glared at him.I knew he was mad and insane, but what I didn't expect was that he'd go crazy this fast. How the hell was he trying to bring in a girl and declare her to be my Luna when I, the Alpha of the Blackwood pack, haven't even declared it or approved it?“She's beautiful, right? And I guess that's why you just can't take your eyes off her, Alpha Killian!” he sneered as he uttered further.At this point, the presence and the looks that Mr. Han gave me made me feel nothing but intense disgust and annoyance.How in the world did he even come up with such an idea? Last I checked, I never told him that I wanted another mate.And come to think of it, the girl he had tagged as my new Luna was nothing more than a stone in my eyes. I could
Killian's POV“If you don't take your stinking hands off me right now, trust me, you will regret the moment you stepped those silly feet of yours into the mansion as the mistress of the Alpha!” I let out a scowl fixed on her as I expected her to get off me and run off.She did as expected, making me scoff at her silly behaviour. She was still a baby, and I knew I didn't want a baby in my arms.Elora was just the best fit; she was the best choice for me at this point, and nothing was going to change that, nothing was going to stop that.“Chief Han!” she cried as she ran towards where he was sitting, placing her hand around his as she asked for pity, as she sought his attention.Every little second spent seeing this Scarlet of an omega in my pack made me want to throw up immediately. I couldn't help but snort at her sudden act with Chief Han.“He doesn't love me like you said he would…” she whined like the little child she was.“Don't worry, Scarlet… I'm sure he'll realise the reality s
