Elora's POV. Standing right outside Bryce's room, I felt an intense urge to do one thing: forget Alpha Killian.“Elora, you’re looking…” Bryce began, but I cut him off.“If we don’t leave right now, I might change my mind. Or is that what you want?” I asked, lifting my brows.Immediately, he shook his head. “No, I’m sorry. I’ll get dressed right away and inform the team that I’m coming to the company. Just a few seconds.”With a roll of my eyes, I walked over to the couch and sat down to wait for Bryce. Even as I waited, Alpha Killian kept invading my thoughts, making me feel a mix of frustration and disgust. “Oh my Goddess!” I muttered, shutting my eyes briefly and reaching for my temples. I massaged them gently, trying to soothe the sudden headache that had come over me. But then, a vivid and unwelcome imagination invaded my mind.I pictured Killian with Scarlet, their bodies intertwined in a passionate embrace. The scene played out in my head with vivid detail, him consumed by he
Elora's POV.Everyone in the building seemed to be enjoying their time, unlike me. It was a nice view, seeing most people sitting in their spots, discussing business while others drank and spoke about unimportant things. They all looked wealthy, dressed in designer clothes and expensive jewellery, exuding an air of richness. I felt a pang of pressure to keep up with such living, even though it felt alien to me.I walked over to an empty table and sat down. I grabbed a glass of wine from a nearby tray and took a sip, letting the rich, smooth flavour linger on my tongue. As I sipped, I looked around the room, trying to observe everyone. The loud music was meant for dancing, but most people preferred to sit and talk. No one seemed interested in dancing wildly like they did in clubs.“How the fuck am I expected to forget Alpha Killian in this situation? It’s really boring here!” I scoffed to myself, taking another sip from my drink. The boredom and frustration of the night were starting
Elora's POV. Being at the same party as Alpha Killian was already challenging enough. To make matters worse, Scarlet barged into the room, gripping Alpha Killian's hand possessively as if she owned him, as if she belonged to him.I felt my chest tighten painfully, and my jaw clenched in response. After sending me those cruel videos, she had the nerve to show up at the party with Alpha Killian. Even worse, she was acting as if she were his Luna, the leader's mate."Who does she think she really is? His Luna? What the hell!" I muttered angrily to myself, rolling my eyes and hissing in frustration throughout the night.I noticed Alpha Killian attempting to pull his hand away from hers, trying to free himself, but her grip was too tight. She wasn't willing to let go."That bitch!" I thought furiously. I grabbed another drink from a passing waiter and took a large, angry gulp, hoping it would help calm my nerves.The plan was straightforward: attend the party, dance, have a few drinks, an
Elora's POV. "Just as I thought, he only acts like he cares, just like his mistress!" I muttered bitterly under my breath, a scoff escaping my lips as I turned sharply on my heels. All I could think about was getting away from the venue, finding my way out of sight, and perhaps waiting for Bryce. Even if he didn't show up, I was prepared to leave alone.But just as I pivoted to make my exit, ready to disappear from view, I was abruptly halted by the sudden appearance of someone standing directly in front of me."Why don't you just stop showing up, Elora?" the voice snapped, and as she removed her mask, I realised with a sinking feeling that it was Scarlet, Alpha Killian's mistress."I see you have no respect, Scarlet," I retorted coolly, my tone laced with thinly veiled annoyance. "I'll let this slide because I'm in a good mood right now, but don't you dare try to block my path again." With a roll of my eyes, I warned her sternly. I was determined to walk past Scarlet, but she did
Elora's POV. "I'll be waiting, Scarlet..." I said defiantly, my tone dripping with disdain as I turned my back on her. Striding purposefully away, I made my way toward the spot where Bryce would come meet me. However, after what felt like an interminable wait, Bryce was nowhere in sight.Frustrated and impatient, I fished out my phone, intending to call him, only to be met with the frustrating reality of no network coverage. It was infuriatingly impossible to reach him or anyone else for that matter."What kind of pack doesn't have network?" I grumbled irritably to myself, my frustration mounting. This was not the inconvenience I needed right now. I had to leave before Scarlet or worse, Alpha Killian, caught wind of the altercation.Feeling a surge of urgency coursing through my veins, I hurriedly exited the pack grounds, my senses on high alert. I scanned the surroundings for the nearest bus stop, my eyes darting in search of any taxi that might whisk me away without delay.As I co
Scarlet's pov. Watching Elora walk away would have been a personal affront. I couldn't allow her to leave, not if I had any say in the matter. Acting on instinct, I grabbed her hand firmly and pulled her back to where she had been standing moments before.I intended to assert my authority as the Alpha, but it seemed Elora had other plans. In a surprising display of strength, she seized my hair and yanked it forcefully, causing me to lose my balance and fall to the ground."Stay away from me, you conniving omega!" she warned sharply, releasing her grip on my hair and striding away from me.I couldn't contain my anger as I watched her leave, my frown deepening in frustration and humiliation. The tables had turned, and I was left seething with the bitter taste of defeat on the ground. "How dare she? Who does she think she is? Does she even realise what she's done to me?" I muttered furiously, rising to my feet with narrowed eyes fixed on Elora's retreating figure."I'll make you pay f
Killian's POV.The memories flooded back as I remembered the way she held me and gazed into my eyes. It stirred emotions I never expected to feel again.As I stood there, thoughts of Elora consumed me. Her masked face, her unique scent, and her gentle touch replayed in my mind, bringing a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.Regret washed over me as I realised I hadn't spent enough time with her. She had left the building without looking back.I wanted to chase after her, to catch up and resolve everything with Elora. But just as I was about to move, a sudden call from behind interrupted me. If it weren't for that call, I might have had the chance to meet her again and set things right."Damn it!" I muttered through gritted teeth, my knuckles white as they clenched in frustration. All I wanted was to see Elora, to be with my mate."Alpha Killian, are you alright?" Beta Dayton's concerned voice came from the rearview mirror, his eyes reflecting worry as he glanced at me.We were on
Killian's POV"Drive faster!" I commanded, my heart skipping beats every second of the night. The more time that passed, the more tension engulfed me. All I wanted was to get out of this situation.After driving for almost an hour, we finally arrived at the pack's mansion. The gates were immediately opened when the guards confirmed that it was Mr. and Beta Dayton."We are here, Alpha!" Dayton let out the second the car came to an abrupt stop. The screeching sound of the tires still echoed in my head.I didn't wait for him to open the door; I did it myself, and without a second's delay, I climbed out of the car."Alpha, thank the moon goddess that you are back... We have a situation and..." Stella was going to say, but I cut her short immediately."Not now, Stella... I'll see you when I get out of the hall. Is that clear?" I cautioned her as I headed for the meeting hall.The elders were already waiting, and it was best if I went to meet and discuss with them. The second I got to the d
