Elora's POV.Third day being a slave. What have I learned? A lot that has to do with pain, regrets, suffering, and death.Most times we live our lives without thinking about what others might be facing. I had a pretty good and comfortable life in the ocean pack, but who would have believed that in my years of trying to be Alpha or lead a pack, most of my pack members would go missing, sold into slavery, and get punished this way?The realisation struck me and I couldn't help but weep bitterly, trying so hard to hold in my sobs.Just the third day as a slave and I had gone through hell. I had stepped on piercing glass and nails just to stay alive.The pain, the torture, the torment. It felt like my world had come to an end. It felt like I should end my own life, but what difference would it make?“It's time to go, Elora!” Samuel's voice echoed in the expanse of the room, pulling me out of my thoughts.I was tired of life.Standing to my feet and staggering, I tried to maintain a good b
Killian's POV “Come on, Alpha Killian, you are definitely going to kill yourself if you keep going this way. You need to get your act together!” he lamented as he stood right before me in my room, his face etched with worry and concern for me. But who would care?I sat down on a couch in my room, my hand tightly wrapped around a glass of liquor, trying my best to drown myself in sorrow for losing my mate.Well, Stella was still alive thanks to Beta Dayton.But Why would my mate disappear or die without a trace? It felt so irritating and even more painful because I didn't get to see her, I didn't get to say goodbye to her.As memories of that night flayed through my mind, I couldn't help but feel tears trickling down my eyes.It wasn't a dream. This was reality. My mate is gone; Elora is gone.“I miss her so much… I miss her so, so very much!” I mumbled as I lifted the liquor in my hand and took a large gulp from it.“Stop this, Alpha Killian. Are you trying to kill yourself?” Beta Da
Killian's POVIt's been one month since my mate, Elora, went missing from the pack. They kept searching and brought back the news that she hadn't been found, that she was gone, which was more heartbreaking than anything in the world.I had been drinking almost every night just to clear my head. I had been in my room all this while too, and I shifted meetings with the elders of the pack.They understood and obeyed. It was best they didn't argue or make me regret asking them nicely.With a cup of hot tea in my grip, I stood closer to the window, my eyes staring out of it, precisely fixed on the gates as I awaited Beta Dayton and the search team to return for the day.With a slight blow on my hot tea, I pushed it towards my lips. I drank slowly from it, knowing that it was hot.I kept staring at the gates when finally, they pushed open, and right there, I saw Beta Dayton.The next person I was expecting to see was my mate. But she was nowhere to be found; she wasn't in the same car as th
Killian's POV“The guards will help you get out of the mansion, Scarlet. And let this be the last time you walk in here.” I declared before turning on my heels to leave and head back to my room.But just as I took a bold step to leave, Scarlet yelled at the top of her voice, instantly halting me in my tracks.“I am pregnant with your child, Alpha Killian. I am carrying the heir of the Blackwood pack!”I froze immediately, my mind reeling backwards and my brows raising in confusion.I turned to look at her in shock.“You are what?” I asked again, just to be sure I wasn’t hearing things, just to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating.“You heard me correctly, Alpha Killian. I know this means a lot, but I just couldn’t stay without telling you. I… I need to…” Before she could finish, I cut in.“Leave! You need to leave, Scarlet, because I won’t stand here and watch you accuse me of an act that I know nothing about!” I said, my eyes glowing with intense rage.If there was anything I was expecting
Rohan's POVSitting before the table in my room, I couldn't help but thump my fingers rhythmically on the desk, my mind hovering with a lot of thoughts as I tried to get things straight. As I tried to get things right. “I can't be hallucinating, right?” I pondered as my brows furrowed with nothing but worry and confusion. I could recall going to the slave woods to get a servant for my pack, but when I got there, I could sense Elora. I could sense her presence, but when I looked around, I couldn't find her. I didn't see a single strand of her hair. “She was there… she must have been there. There's definitely no way I would sense her if she wasn't there.” I mumbled as I stood up from the chair I was sitting on at this point. With my hands folded behind my back, I began to pace around the room, still in confusion and thought. Just as I tried to get my head and thoughts together, a sudden knock at the door halted my movements. “Who is there?” I asked with a deep voice as I turned t
Master's POV“Welcome back, Master Kai!” Samuel bowed his head as he caught sight of me walking into the room with my mask on.“What’s the latest?” I asked, reaching for my shirt and putting it on my bare skin, my focus still on him as I waited for him to explain.“Nothing serious, Master Kai!” He bowed again.I was one dreadful werewolf no one dared to disobey. The second they did, they would cease to exist on earth, so it was best to obey and show respect than to get on my bad side.I had gone to the Blackwood pack earlier to get some things done. Things that were considered a secret that only I was expected to know about. That I was expected to find out.I went alone because, like I said, it was a secret.Without hesitation, I slipped into my pants, my mind relishing the thoughts of Elora. The thoughts brought a vile sneer to my lips.“You look rather happy today, Master Kai. Pardon me if I ask… but did something happen?” Samuel asked, his brows furrowing in curiosity as he stared
Killian's POVJust as I stood by my window, my eyes fixed on the view outside, hoping and thinking that my mate would return, the sudden knock at the door immediately pulled me out of my deep thoughts, making me turn my gaze to the direction of the door.“Come in!” I commanded, and without hesitation, Beta Dayton pushed the door open and walked into the room, his eyes meeting my back the moment he entered.I couldn’t help but sense an aura of tension and concern in the air as he entered the room.There was no doubt that he cared about me. It was clear he didn’t like the fact that I was silent and appeared rejected, because that was exactly how it felt and looked.Without a mate for so long, and yet, I wasn’t sure where she was.“You’re still thinking about her, aren’t you?” Beta Dayton’s statement immediately jolted me back to reality.“It’s not as easy as you think, Dayton… it’s just not that simple!” I said, shaking my head at him.“She’s your mate; we get it, but she is dead!”“She
Killian's POV.Seeing that everyone had their gaze fixed on Chief Han, who was sitting next to me, I couldn't help but turn to him myself. I was curious and wished to know why he had suddenly shown up at the mansion with all these men.Was he here to torment me? Was he here to make me feel less of an Alpha? These were the questions that crossed my mind as I glared at him.“We are waiting, Chief Han!” I informed him, and with a swift glance around, he finally acknowledged the situation and stood up, buttoning his jacket swiftly.“Fine… I'll make this swift and brief!” he said before turning his gaze to meet mine.“You don't have a Luna, Alpha Killian; therefore, you are to get married in the next five days!” he declared, making my eyes bulge in shock and confusion.Trust me, I was confused to the core. I wasn't sure what he was trying to say, but if I wasn't mistaken, he really meant that I should forget Elora and marry someone who wasn't my mate, someone I felt nothing for.“What?” I
