Elora's POV“Have you been stalking me, Alpha Killian? Have you been monitoring my footsteps all this while?” I snapped as my fist clenched while I glared at him.I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that he'd stoop so low just to make sure that he kisses me in a park right in front of everyone.“I didn't stalk you, Elora!” he responded finally, his hand sliding into his pockets as he watched me.“Then what? What were you doing? How did you fucking know I was here? And somehow, you knew that Chief Grayson was here, didn't you?” I squinted my eyes as I looked at him.I was waiting for an explanation. I was waiting for him to open up to me and tell me he didn't stalk me, but who was I kidding? He definitely was stalking me.“No one told me you were here, Elora… and I didn't stalk you!” he repeated like he was some robot being controlled by a human.“Then fucking how? Can you just tell me already? Since I am misunderstanding you, tell me how you knew I was here if it isn't by stalki
Killian's POVJust as she turned around, I couldn't help it; I couldn't let my own best friend, my mate, and Luna walk out on me that way. Without hesitation and a second thought, I charged towards her, grabbed her hand, and turned her back to me.“Please don’t do this, Elora… Imagining a life without you is hell on its own, let alone living it! Please!” I begged, swallowing my pride just to get what I wanted.Just as Beta Dayton had urged me back at the mansion, he had warned me clearly not to be harsh towards her. He had told me to make her see how much I loved her, and that was what I was doing or trying to do.I needed her to see how much I loved her, but I guess what I did wasn't enough. She immediately pulled her hand out of my grip, and before I could utter another word, she spun on her heels and ran out of my sight.“Elora!” I muttered, tears welling up in my eyes at this moment. I couldn’t stop them from trickling down my face.Who would believe it, that Alpha Killian, the al
Killian's POV.The ride back to the pack was filled with nothing more than silence and tension in the car. I would have felt good if Elora had returned with me to the pack, but at this point, the only thing I could think about was Dayton.The fact that I had found him crying made me feel bad. I made him that way; I made him act weak for the first time.I knew that Dayton liked and cared about me, but one thing I didn't expect was to find him loving me.My fist clenched as I kept staring at him while he drove. If I had listened to him or at least included him as I was heading to the pack, then maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't be sad. Maybe I would have gotten Elora to myself; maybe I wouldn't have collapsed before everyone in the pack."You know, if you keep staring at me that way, I might end up losing control of the wheels, Alpha Killian!" Dayton notified as he glanced at me from the rearview mirror.He had noticed me watching and stealing glances at him. Well, that was all I could do
Killian's POVWith my hand lifted in the air, ready to strike, ready to slash Scarlet who had dared come into my room without my permission, Dayton suddenly appeared right before me, blocking my hit from getting to Scarlet but even worse, taking the slash for her.“Leave right now, Scarlet!” he commanded with a deep voice.At this point, my thoughts and attention weren't fixed on Scarlet anymore, they were fixed on him, they were focused on Dayton who had his hand bleeding because of me.“What the hell do you think you are doing? What the fuck have you done to yourself?” My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him.“I'm sorry, Alpha Killian, but I just couldn't let you hurt her. She was sent by Edmond and any little mistake could cause harm and havoc. I…” he was going to say, but before he could finish his statement, I cut in, my rage evident in my tone as my jaw clenched.“Because of that brat, you have caused harm to yourself, Dayton! Why in the world would you do that?” My eyes tre
Elora's POVOpening my eyes to the dawn of a new day, I was expected to be happy, to have a smile on my lips at least, but guess what? I was welcomed back to reality and a new day with a frown on my face and, even worse, anger.I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened at the park the day before. I wished I had gone with Alpha Killian. Actually, my inner wolf Kyla had wished I went with him, but another part of me rebelled against it.I was filled with mixed emotions, confusion that I couldn't help, couldn't control.“Another day to remind myself how miserable I am… another day to remind myself that I am nothing but a useless Alpha and Luna!” I sighed as I lay still in my bed, my eyes fixed right on the ceiling above me.I was still at Bryce's house, and I wasn't sure how to react most of the time.“I think it's best you act rather than keep regretting!” Kyla, who had woken up, stated, making me roll my eyes.One thing was certain: she had obviously shown up to mock me. Other w
Elora's POVI was about to walk out of the place where Beta Dayton had called me when his next words halted me dead in my tracks, not letting me move an inch.“Alpha Killian is suffering so much, Luna Elora, and trust me when I say he needs you!” he declared, my brows furrowing as I turned to look at him where he stood.“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, trying to clarify the words he had let out to me.“I think you should come take a seat, Luna… I'll be able to explain properly if you do!” he stated, making me pause for a split second.I really wanted to know details about Alpha Killian, but on the other hand, I didn't want it to look like I was missing him. I was trying to keep my pride a bit.“If you won't tell me, then I'll leave!” I threatened, expecting Beta Dayton to ignore me and leave, but to my shock, he walked over to where I stood, and with a soft gaze fixed on me, he reached for my arm.“Please, Luna Elora… listen to me for thirty minutes at least!” he begged, maki
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
