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,
Killian's POV“What do I owe this visit, Chief Han? Last time I checked, I didn't call for you. Do you miss me so much that you just couldn't help but wish to see me?” I raised my brows as I made fun of him.Seeing him acting all furious made me happy in some way. I was glad that he felt that way. I was glad he was sitting before me with fury.“You have pushed me too much, Alpha Killian!” he snarled, his fists clenched as he glared at me from where he was sitting, his tone carrying an intense sense of anger.“Pushed you? I'm not sure I have yet, Chief Han… by the way, what did I do? It's not like I killed your mistress.” I sneered, acting unbothered by his presence.I walked over to the chair that was closest to me and, pulling it out, I sat down. My fingers drummed rhythmically on the table as I watched him and Scarlet act so childish before me.“Don't act like you don't know what you have done, Killian! Don't act like you are not aware of what you did to your Luna!” he stated, his w
Elora's POV.The last words Alpha Killian had said to me kept coming back to my mind. They echoed in my head constantly, and no matter what I did to push them aside, it just didn't work. It seemed impossible to forget them.“Argh! Fuck! I hate you so much, Killian Blackwood!” I shouted, feeling a surge of frustration. I slammed my hands on the bed repeatedly, like a maniac, on the verge of losing my mind.I felt an intense urge to yank my hair out just to stop thinking about Alpha Killian. But I knew that would be too extreme and could seriously harm me.“Kyla, please, can you make this stop? Please! I have gone through more than enough already! This is so much torture!” I cried out, lying on the bed with my eyes shut tightly."I'm sorry, Elora, but that's not something I can do," Kyla said softly, her tone filled with empathy. "But it's not as if you can't stop them. You just miss him; he is our mate after all!" She continued, her words making me snap my eyes open."Mate?" I scoffed,
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
