Elora's POV. "Don't be that way, Stella," I didn't want to assure her of this, but I had to. "I haven't held grudges against you for long. Trust me, I forgave you long ago!" I assured her, and I couldn't help but see the joy that glistened in her eyes."Really? Thank you so much," she jubilated as she pulled me into a warm embrace with joy. I didn't want her to feel like she was my enemy, so I wrapped my arms around her back, tapping her gently on her back like my kid sister."You don't know how happy I am right now, Elora. You have made me so glad to have you!" she explained briefly, making me chuckle as I pulled out of her embrace.We were still talking to each other and trying to make amends when, out of the blue, I felt a sudden grip on my hand from behind me. Before I could react, the person dragged me, turning me on my heels, and immediately, I was met with a sharp, harsh slap across my face."You must leave the Blackwood pack!"Just as I had imagined, it was Scarlet at it ag
Scarlet's POV"Take her to her room and lock her up!" Alpha Killian's voice boomed throughout the silence, freezing me right in my tracks.If there was anything that I was expecting, it definitely wasn't the fact that Killian would act this way. Just then, a swift grip caught my hands, pulling me out of my trance."Let me go, Dayton! Let go of me! Elora caused all this! She caused it!" I yelled at the top of my voice, trying to explain things to them, but they were too dumb to listen.With a glare fixed on Elora at this moment, I couldn't help but want to rush towards her and make her pay for humiliating me. Since she returned to the pack's mansion, I haven't gotten the respect I needed. The respect I wanted."Get in there!" Beta Dayton commanded as he pushed me into the room."Dayton, I..." Just as I was going to walk towards him to try to convince him to let me out, he immediately shut and locked the door."Don't let her out until you are ordered to. Is that clear?" He commanded the
Elora's POV"Nooo!!!!"A piercing, shrieking voice filled with a mix of anger, fear, and uncertainty jolted me awake. My heart pounded in my chest as my eyes fluttered open, trying to adjust to the bright light in the room. A cold sweat broke out on my skin, and a sense of dread coursed through my veins.Beside me, Alpha Killian stirred, his eyes snapping open with alertness. "What's that?" he asked, his voice tense and cautious. It was a small comfort to know that I wasn’t alone in hearing the terrifying scream. The shrill, desperate cry had come from somewhere outside our room, echoing through the silence of the new day. “I don’t know. Do you think the park is under attack or something?” I asked with panic as I turned to Alpha Killian, who was trying to figure out the issue.“No! We can’t be under attack!” He let out, his eyes squinting as he turned to me. “If we were under attack, I’d be hearing men’s voices and not a lady’s voice.” He declared as he climbed out of bed.“Get dr
Elora's POV“I wish to see you alive, Elora. I don’t know why you keep suspecting that I did this!” She said as she went on her knees, thinking she could fool or deceive me.Walking closer to her, I placed my hand on her shoulder. A smile crept across my lips as I stared directly into her eyes.“I never said you did it, Scarlet, so why do you keep begging me when I haven’t said or done anything yet?” I asked with my brows raised in confusion and uncertainty.Immediately, she stormed to her feet, her eyes hovering all over the place as she kept mute for a split second. I could see her fists clench as she stood before us. She definitely didn’t expect me to act this way or speak to her in such a manner.“I just wanted her to speak, to tell me her part of the story. I never said you did it, dear Scarlet!” I smiled as I stared at her.“Now that’s enough. If she won’t speak, then I’ll be forced to call the guards in here,” Alpha Killian, who was becoming impatient, stated, making me snap my
Elora's POV.“We can't live like this, Elora, and you know that!” Alpha Killian declared, a sense of anger and regret in his tone.“Then let me question her myself, Alpha Killian! Is that too much to ask for? I know something is wrong somewhere, and if I don't get to question her, then I think you should just get used to this way of life!” I snapped as I turned around to him.I was so furious that I was certain I could say just anything to make Alpha Killian see that he should have never arrested an innocent lady because of what Scarlet had said to him.“What?” His brows scrunched as he exclaimed, staring at me with a sense of confusion.“You heard me right. Let me question her myself, and this time face to face.” I pressed, but he ended up shaking his head in refusal.The truth was, even if Alpha Killian didn't let me go to the lady to question her now, I was definitely going to sneak into her cell and confront her later, so as it stood, it was best that he gave me his permission.“I
Elora's POV“I am sorry, Luna Elora, but I don't think I can help you with that!” She collapsed on her butt as she crawled backward, her back placed on the cold wall as she tried to stay away from me.“I don't understand, why won't you speak to me? I could help you, and you know that, right? I am here for you!” I pressed as I went closer to her.I swiftly crouched down on my left knee so I could get right into her head, right into her heart. She was innocent, and I knew it. She wouldn't dream of hurting anyone.“I … I just…” Just as she was going to speak, I reached for her hand, holding it right in mine, and squeezed it gently, a smile forming on my lips as I stared at her without looking away.“I'm begging you right now, on my knees… Please tell me what happened. It's clear that someone wants me dead, and if … if I don't find them this time, I might get killed without knowing who did it.” I pleaded, my hand reaching for her hair as I caressed it gently.“Please tell me everything yo
Elora's POV**Judgement Day**With a smile curling up on my lips and my heart rushing with a thrill knowing that Scarlet was going to leave the mansion today, I couldn't help but feel like the happiest woman in the pack as it stood.Alpha Killian was going to do the right thing, and I was certain about that fact.“Let's see what you have today, Scarlet!” I mumbled as I picked up my dress that was already placed on the couch for me. I had it put on, and staring at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but admire every single bit of the gown.It was a red gown with black crystal-like stones on it. It signified judgement, and anyone that was guilty would definitely face nothing but the wrath of the pack.Just as I kept staring at myself in the mirror, a sudden knock came at the door.“Come in!” I commanded, knowing who it was. A maid younger than I was came into the room with a pillow in her hand and my necklace on it.I picked it up and had it placed around my neck and took my earrings.
Elora's POV.Chief Han's chair scraped harshly against the wooden floor as he stood, his fist slamming down on the table in front of him. The loud bang echoed through the room showing his sudden fury and rage."You have no right to question her, Elora, and you know it!" he roared, his eyes blazing with anger.I could feel my own fury rising to meet him. My jaw tightened, and I clenched my teeth, refusing to back down. I couldn't let him see me weak, it'd only make him want to act like he was the boss which he definitely wasn't."Don't I? I am the Luna who almost got killed! Poisoned! I can question anyone… anyone at all!" My voice was sharp, each word edged with the bitterness of his disgust.I turned to face Scarlet. Her expression was sinister as always, a smirk playing at the corners of her mouth. She didn't care about what I thought or felt. She only wanted to see me brought low, humiliated in front of everyone. The sight of her smug face only fueled my anger to make her pay de
