Elora's POV“I will…” Just as I was about to reveal that I was going to return to the Blackwood pack with Beta Dayton, a strong grip held me from behind, pulling my attention immediately.Turning around with a jolt and shock, I found Bryce standing right behind me, his grip around my wrist tightening more with each second.“You shouldn't force your Luna into doing something she isn't comfortable with, Beta Dayton!” Bryce snarled as he glared at Dayton, who stood before me.I wasn't sure of a word to say at this moment, but one thing was certain: Bryce wasn't going to let me make any decision that would lead to me going back to the Blackwood pack.“I'm sorry, Luna, if I pushed you into doing something you didn't want to do… I didn't mean to!” Dayton apologized softly as he let go of my hand.“Good boy… now, why don't you leave?” Bryce declared, making me snap my gaze towards him in shock.“What?” I exclaimed, my eyes squinting in disbelief as I stared at him.“His time has elapsed. It
Elora's POV:“You know pretty well that you can't hide forever, right? You need to go out there and see him… he is obviously dying of guilt right now!” Kyla stated, trying to urge me into speaking to Bryce again. But that wasn't going to happen. That was never going to happen.I had made a statement, a conclusion that I was going to keep. I couldn't let my guard down, not now, not ever. He had provoked me, and he was going to pay the price for doing so. I wasn't going to have pity on him. Never.“Just let it be, Kyla… you have no say in this situation!” I scoffed as I folded my arms across my chest. I was sitting up on my bed, and my gaze remained fixed on the door in front of me.“Fine, if you say so!” She snorted before she kept silent.I wasn't sure at this point what I was going to do because, trust me, I was starving, and from what I noticed, Bryce was in the living room. I needed to eat, but because of my pride, I was trying my best to endure it, to keep it in.“I'm never going
Elora's POV“I'll regret it? What a joke!” My fist clenched as I sat down patiently in the cab I had stopped a few minutes ago.It was going to take me back to the Blackwood pack, and nothing was going to stop me from getting to my destination.Except for the fact that Bryce's statement kept making me angry. It kept coming back to me, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it out of my head.He was lying. He just didn't want me to go back to Alpha Killian. He just didn't want me to be with Alpha Killian, and I was sure of it.“You will be the one to regret, Bryce, not me!” I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest as I spoke.I wished to look him right in the eyes and tell him what was on my mind, but I just couldn't.“Stay calm, Elora… it doesn't matter anymore!” I muttered to myself as I turned my gaze out of the window. I wound the window of the car down, letting the cool air hit my face as we made our entrance into the Blackwood pack.After what felt like an eternity
Elora's POV.“He didn't tell you? Well, I am the new Luna of the Blackwood pack, and as it stands, you are expected to show your respect to me, Ex Luna, Elora!” she uttered through her gritted teeth as she glared at me.“Bow to me!” she commanded, making me scoff, the tears in my eyes beginning to trickle down.“What?” I exclaimed again as I stared at her in disbelief. What gave her the right to speak to me in that manner?Alpha Killian caused it all. He took her in and made her his Luna.“Scarlet, that is enough! Mind your words!” Alpha Killian commanded with a deep voice, the anger he felt evident in his tone.“And what if I don't? It's not like she is above me!” Scarlet declared, and just then, Alpha Killian didn't hesitate to walk closer to her.He grabbed her hand and pulled her away from me.“Elora, I am sorry for the confusion… we should sit down and…” he began, but I couldn't let him finish. I was filled with bitterness and betrayal.“No, Killian… we have nothing to talk about
Elora's POV.“So what now? You want me for yourself? You want to become my Luna?” he let out, making my brows crease instantly.His words might mean nothing to him, but believe me, they brought back memories—sad memories at that. I couldn't find my words as I turned back to look at him.“We both know how much I have begged for you, Elora! We both know how much I have asked that you stay with me, but you still refuse! So what? What now?” He was acting like he was insane and blaming it on me, but I wasn't going to accept his blames and claims.“Well, who knows, Killian... if you didn't have another Luna in your room and your arms, I might have stayed back!” I snapped, folding my arms across my chest.“Oh please, Elora! Come off it, Elora!” he scoffed, placing his hand on his waist. “We both know you never wanted me! You claim I have another girl in my arms and room, but what about you, huh? What about you?” he yelled at the top of his voice, focusing his attention on me.“You are insane
Killian's POV“You never wanted me, Elora, so please stop acting like you do!” I snapped the second I saw her looking all broken and blaming me for everything.I wasn't lying. After all, she had refused to come back to the pack with me, she had refused to be my Luna, and I couldn't help but let her see that I was also furious and mad at what she had done.If she couldn't believe me enough to come back to the pack with me, then I was pretty sure that she wasn't going to believe or trust anything that I had to say to her. She was never going to trust the fact that I had nothing to do with Scarlet. She wasn't going to believe that I was just trying to stop Scarlet from getting stung by the glass on the ground.Just then, she walked closer to me, and with her eyes piercing deeply into mine, I couldn't help but sense anger, fury, and rage in her.“I hate you so much, Alpha Killian!” she snarked, and before I could say a single word to her, she turned on her heels and ran away from where I
Killian's POVThe second I heard a knock on the door, I didn't hesitate to order the person in. I was expecting it to be Stella so I could send her out, but luckily, it was Beta Dayton who had obviously betrayed me back there in the room.“You called for me, Alpha Killian!” He bowed his head towards me. I couldn't help but sense the fear he held inside. I was pretty sure he knew what he had done. I was sure he knew that he had messed up and it wasn't fair or right.“Yes, Beta Dayton… now, why don't you explain to me what you were thinking to have allowed Elora to open the door to my room when Scarlet was obviously there?” I wished, pacing to and fro as I awaited a response from him. I needed to understand what he had going on in his mind at that moment.“I… I didn't mean to, Alpha Killian!” He stuttered, showing his fear immediately.“You didn't mean to?” I paused, halting right in my tracks, my gaze turned to him fully with a creased brow.“What the fuck do you mean by that, Beta Day
Killian's POV“Beta Dayton, what is wrong? Speak to me this minute!” I snapped the second I walked up to him, my hand placed right on his shoulders.“Did something happen to Elora?” My eyes widened as I scrutinised him for answers or responses to my question.“No, Alpha Killian… it's just that someone is here to see you!” He shook his head as he let out a breath, trying to catch his breath.“What? So because someone is here to see me, you decided to storm into my study like something bad had happened to my Luna? Do you know the consequences of making your Alpha think otherwise?” My fist on his shoulder tightened, making him lose his breath for a split second.“I… I am sorry, Alpha! I didn't mean to, but it is a serious and difficult situation!” He let out, and seeing that he didn't mean any harm, I let go of his shoulder.“What is more important than my Luna?” I turned on my heels and was about to return to the couch where I was sitting before he stormed into the study when suddenly,
