Killian's POV. “Mother! Father! Please, please don't go. Don't leave me!” I cried bitterly as pain tore through my insides. I hid at the bottom of the car, just as my mother had instructed me. I was just a weak little boy, without a mother and a father, during the full moon. *******“Ughh!” I gasped as my eyes snapped open, the ceiling in the room welcoming me back to reality immediately. “It was just another dream!” I muttered beneath my breath as I realised that I was never going back to my painful past. That I was never still that little boy who had to lie low while they killed his parents. “It's all just fucked up!” I mumbled softly.Just as I was caught up in my thoughts about what was happening or had happened to me, I suddenly felt something heavy on my right shoulder. Turning to my right-hand side, I found Elora, my Luna lying on my body. At his point, it dawned on me that something must have happened last night during the full moon, seeing how she was closer to me.My e
Killian's POV. Standing before the one man who had dared to kill my Luna and who had dared to harm Elora, I couldn't help but tighten my fist in anger and fury. Staring at him, I felt my insides burning with rage, and one thing I disliked were lies. “What if I remind you since you don't remember?” I snarled as I went closer to him, crouching down to his level. I glared right into his eyes as I spoke. He had a sinister glare on his face, and I bet he was sane and knew what he was doing. He was going to be a tough one, but nothing was too tough for me to handle. Without hesitation, I snatched his neck, and immediately, my claws began to dig into his skin, making him growl in pain. “Arrgghh!” A smile curled up on my lips as I saw him in this state, and I was glad that he was suffering too. “I'll ask you this question one more time, and I need a response from you... Who sent you?” I questioned again with a deep voice, my rage boiling with so much intensity. “No one!” He b
Killian's POV. “No one must know that she did this... Is that clear?” I questioned, turning to look at the already-dead man that was lying on the table before me. “Yes, Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton bowed his head as he responded. I understood that he didn't believe the man, but there was every possibility that Stella did it, that Stella had caused it all. Without wasting any more time, I turned on my heels and walked towards the door. Getting to the door, I halted and turned my gaze halfway towards Beta Dayton. “Make sure his body is taken care of secretly!” I ordered, and without a second word or glance at him, I dashed out of the room. My head filled with just one thought: Why would Stella want to hurt my mate that badly? I understood that she was lusting over me, but there was no way she would go this far just to prove her point. My fist clenched as the scene where the man had informed me that Stella did it to Elora came crawling back into my head. Immediately, I headed for
Killian's POV. It felt sad knowing that I wasn't going to head back to the Blackwood pack with my mate, with Luna, and with Elora. I wanted to do everything with her, but in this case, I guess I was just pushing it all. With a heavy heart, I walked up to my room. Opening the door, I found Elora still sleeping peacefully. I guess she had really stressed herself out during the night for her to still be asleep at this moment. A bright smile curled up on my lips as I closed the door and walked over to where she was lying, sleeping peacefully. Sitting closer to her on the bed, I couldn't help but stare at her sleeping. “You look more beautiful when you are asleep!” I whispered as I kept staring at her face. It was so attractive at this point that looking away wasn't an option for me. Just as I kept staring at her, I felt my heart race rapidly; it yearned for her; my inner wolf wanted her, and I couldn't control myself. She was too beautiful and alluring to resist. I suddenly found
Elora's POV. “It's a waste of time trying to explain it to me, Elora... I understand if you'll never trust me!” Alpha Killian's words reverberated in my head as I sat down in the room all alone. I was left alone, and it felt kind of frustrating. I felt bad seeing him leave that way. I might have made a mistake, but it was definitely to protect my pack. I just wanted him to know that I was never going to fall for his tricks. He wanted my pack, but I wasn't going to give it to him. Just then, the pain in my hand became intense, and I couldn't help but let out a soft, painful cry as I clutched my hand tightly. “He is obviously in pain, and you can feel it... What more do you want him to do, Elora?” Kyla spoke up with a soft voice. I understood that she wanted me to be closer to Killian because he was my mate, but I didn't want to. “I don't care if he is in pain, Kyla. That isn't what makes him genuine, you know?” I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. “Come on, Elora, we both know how muc
Elora's POV.“Alpha Killian?” I muttered, recognizing his voice from where I stood. I walked closer to the exit door, and peeking through the tiny opening, I found him speaking to Beta Dayton. “What about your Luna?” Dayton questioned him, and I couldn't help but sense nothing but anger in Alpha Killian's voice. “For now, let's just say I don't have a Luna, just a mate!” He clarified, and immediately I felt a pang in my heart, making me clutch my chest instantly. “What's this pain?” I mumbled as my brows creased. It felt as though I was being rejected by Alpha Killian. “You need to make him know that you are sorry and would go with him, Elora. Come on, do it now!” Kyla urged me, and for the first time, I felt the need to do so. My hand reached for the door like someone was compelling me, like Kyla had taken over me and wouldn't resign. As I was going to pull the door open, Chief Grayson's voice sounded from behind.“If you want to speak to him, why don't you just go ahead and do
Killian's POV.It was finally dawn, just as I had anticipated. I didn't stay with Elora all through the night; I was wide awake, expecting her to come to me and apologise for what happened. I was expecting my mate to walk up to me and tell me that she'd come with me to my pack, but I guess her pack was more important to her than mine. “Alpha Killian, the car is ready to leave!” Beta Dayton informed me the second he walked into the bar chamber. He bowed his head to me, and seeing that I hadn't finished my drink, I took in a large gulp. The burning sensation it gave me as it lurched into my tummy handed out nothing but the fact that Elora would never want me; she would never accept me or see me as her Alpha. I was a failure to her and her worst enemy, the Alpha she loathed, the Alpha she disliked. The second I took in the last drop of drink, I walked out of the room, Dayton following me from behind. The second we got out of the mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sudden urge to sta
Killian's POV.I headed straight for the mansion doors, Beta Dayton following me from behind. Getting to the door, it was opened for me, and I didn't hesitate to walk into the mansion. “Home!” I halted briefly as I took in the scent that enveloped me at the first step. Just as I was still trying to find peace in the environment, Stella rushed to me. “Alpha Killian, you are back finally! I'm glad. How are you? Did…” She was going to keep asking, but recalling what she did, I couldn't help but frown immediately. “Act like you didn't see me, Stella!" I cautioned as I slid my hands into my pockets. I was going to walk out on her, but simply then, she held my hand, halting me right in my tracks. “Can we stop the fight already, Alpha Killian? I told you, I didn't do it!” She tried to defend herself, her voice barely above a whisper as she sounded pretty nervous. “Firstly…” I trailed my glare to her hand that held onto mine tightly, and I didn't hesitate to pull my hand out of her gri
