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
Elora's POV. I was expecting to find the maid walking into the throne chamber on her feets but the second the doors were pushed open, I found a body on a stretcher pushed into the place by the guard whom I had ordered to go get her. I froze for a second, my heart racing with nothing but shock and disbelief as I stood up from the chair and climbed down to the middle of the place. “Where is the maid I asked you to bring in here?” I asked, my focus fixed on him as I waited for a response from him. “She is here, Luna .. it happened she died before I got to her!” I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Dead? No! That's impossible! She isn't dead! She can't be dead!" I declared, shaking my head in disbelief. The room seemed to close in around me, my thoughts racing. How could she be dead? I had just seen her last night, alive and well.The guard, looking visibly shaken, tried to speak. "I'm sorry I got there late, Luna... I didn't..." His voice faltered, and I could see the guilt and
Elora's POV.“No! She is dead…” Scarlet shook her head as she just couldn't accept what was right before her. “Well, she isn't, Scarlet… sorry to disappoint you!” I emitted bluntly, clearly making a mockery of her right before everyone. “If she isn't dead as you say, then where is she?” Just as Scarlet questioned, the door to the hall creaked open, followed by intense footsteps and just then, she surfaced. “I am right here, Scarlet!” She sneered, staring at Scarlet. Everyone began to mumble amongst themselves again. This time, it was intense. The air was thick with tension, and Scarlet stood in the centre, her face a frozen mask of shock. Her eyes bulged, wide with disbelief, as if she had just seen a ghost."No! You are dead!" she screamed, her voice cracking under the weight of her terror. It was clear she couldn't understand the reality of the maid standing before her, the very maid she believed she had killed.The maid, standing tall and defiant, allowed a smirk to play on h
Elora's POV. Scarlet stood there, looking shocked and scared. She couldn't believe what was happening. Just then, the maid we had called in started to speak. Her voice was a bit shaky, but she finally had the chance to tell her story."My name is Beth," the maid began, her voice getting stronger. "I've worked as a maid in the Backwood pack for years. That morning, I woke up early to prepare breakfast for Alpha Killian and Luna Elora. But when I got to the kitchen, I froze. I saw Scarlet!" Beth's eyes locked onto Scarlet, who turned pale."She was sprinkling something into the drink, and I knew it wasn't good. In Fact, It was poison!" Beth explained, her voice steady now."You are..." Scarlet started to cut in, her voice desperate. But I stepped forward and slapped her hard, shutting her up. The sound echoed in the hall, and Scarlet looked at me with shock and fear.I turned back to Beth. "Go on," I urged.Beth took a deep breath. "I was going to leave and tell Alpha Killian what I
Scarlet's POV.As the guards of the Blackwood pack dragged me out, I fought against their grip with everything I had. "Fucking let me go! Let go!" I screamed, but they didn't pay any attention to my demands. With a final heave, they flung me out of the gates, and I stumbled onto the hard ground.Rage bubbled up inside me as I scrambled to my feet. "You'll regret this! You'll regret touching me!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, my voice echoing in the night. I wanted to make sure they knew just how serious I was.Josh, the guard I'd slept with, stepped forward. He looked at me with a mix of concern and determination. "What are you going to do now, Scarlet?" he asked. "We can't stay out here for long. We need a plan, you know." His voice was urgent, pushing me to think fast.I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm inside me. He was right; we couldn't just stand there. We needed to figure out our next move.I was still mulling over my next move when I stopped and turned to face
Elora's POVFinally, she was gone; finally, there wasn't going to be anyone or anything known as Scarlet in the backwood mansion anymore. It was a thing worth celebrating, and I was going to wait for Alpha Killian's return to do that.Scarlet had thought that she could take me down, that she could humiliate me right before everyone, but little did she know that I had it all planned out, that I could see right through her deceit.“What you just faced is what is due to you, Scarlet… trust me!” I stood up from the couch and walked over to the bed in the room, falling on it effortlessly.A smile tugged at the side of my lips at this moment, and I wished and hoped it wouldn't stop. As I stared at the ceiling in the room, I couldn't help but recall one moment: the moment where Scarlet found out that the maid she had sent them to kill was still alive.“I should have taken a picture of that. She deserved every single bit of humiliation she got!” I chuckled alone in my room as if I had an imag
Killian's POV"And with that being said, I think it is best we bring this gathering to an end!" I declared firmly, the force of my hand striking the table echoing through the silent hall, capturing everyone's attention.For crying out loud, we had endured more than three gruelling hours of deliberations, each minute dragging on like an eternity. Exhaustion gnawed at my patience, urging me to rise, pivot, and exit the hall without a backward glance."What does that mean this time, Alpha Killian?" One of the elders inquired, his brow furrowed with genuine confusion as he turned to face me."You still don't grasp it? Allow me to elucidate," I asserted, rising from my seat and striding purposefully toward his position. Drawing nearer, I leaned in, my voice low and edged with a growl,"I have had enough, and I am leaving!" The second I let out to him and everyone in the hall, I stood erect, plunged my hand into my pockets, and turned on my heels, my mind and focus fixed on just one thing a
Killian's POV. “Did she go into the bathroom?” I pondered as I made my way towards the bathroom door. Without hesitation, I knocked on it, but there was no response.Pushing the door open and hoping that I'd find her, I was still stunned to find out that Elora was nowhere to be found in the room.I stared at my wristwatch, and I wasn’t hallucinating. Everything was real. She wasn’t in the room, and it was getting late.“Beta Dayton!” I called out with a deep voice, uncertainty and a tinge of fear coursing through my veins at this moment.“Yes, Alpha Killian!” He had his head bowed to me the second he made his way into the room.“Did my mate leave a note about where she was heading to?” I asked with a creased brow.“No, Alpha Killian… I didn’t see a thing, but from what I heard, she had left the mansion to go get something outside!” He declared, making me feel a bit relieved.“But why would she leave the mansion so late without anyone going with her?” I questioned again, but was respo

Killian's POV.Without thinking twice, I scooped Elora into my arms and stormed out of the pack's mansion. The guards, seeing that Bryce was dead, now came to obey me as their Alpha.Getting into the car, I turned to Beta Dayton. “Drive faster!” I commanded, and he did so.We headed to the hospital, and after a few minutes on the road, we finally arrived. She was rushed into the emergency unit, and my heart raced as I chased after them.“We'd like you to wait here, Alpha Killian. We'll take over from here,” one of the nurses urged, and I had to stop. I paced around the hallway with Dayton.My mind was restless. I needed to know what was wrong; I needed to find out why she had suddenly collapsed.Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours as I paced around the hallway, yet there was nothing. I began to lose patience, but just as I was about to storm into the emergency room, the doors opened, and the doctor walked out with ease.I ran up to him, my heart racing as I stuttered,
Killian's POVA month later...“You can't sit here all day when you know you can take back your pack today, Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton's voice echoed in the room the second he walked in.I was facing the window with my back turned against him. It was best that way. After escaping death the night my mate was taken, I had felt nothing short of pain, regret, and anger.I wished, for a second, that I had left when Beta Dayton asked me to. Who knows, I might not have inhaled so much poison that could ruin me.Now, after a month of trying to heal myself and regain my abilities as an Alpha, I was met with the news that Elora was getting joined with Bryce at the Blackwood pack's mansion.“Alpha Killian, I know you can hear me. Don't back down today of all days like you used to. Don't make her sacrifice go in vain!” Beta Dayton said, making me furious, but I tried my best to stay calm.“Sacrifice?” I scoffed, trying to hold back tears. The memories of that night only brought back intense pain
Killian's POV.“It is over now, Alpha Killian…” Beta Dayton informed me as he walked closer to where I stood with blood splattered all over my body. I turned around and, seeing most of my pack members and guards on the ground, I couldn't help but feel bitter and angry.I was going to kill anyone who had planned this madness, no matter what. But first, I had to get my mate, Elora.“It isn't over yet, Dayton,” I declared, my voice resounding in the area. “My mate is still out there and close too. I can sense it!”“Luna Elora?” He gasped as he went down on one knee. “What should we do, Alpha Killian?” he asked, his tone urgent and filled with concern.“We find her now!” I commanded, and without hesitation, he nodded. It was just Dayton and me. Most guards were injured, so it was only right for them to stay back.We got into the car and sped away from the pack's mansion. We were heading toward the Ocean pack first when I sensed it—I sensed her inner wolf calling out to me.“Stop, Dayton!”
Elora's POV.As soon as my eyes began to open, I was greeted by a thick, suffocating darkness and the sharp, metallic smell of blood filling the air.I was in a place that felt eerily familiar—where Master Kai had captured me before. But something was different now. Despite the shadows around me, I could still feel my mate nearby.“Where am I?” I whispered weakly. A sudden, sharp pain exploded at the back of my head, making me wince and jerk in agony. The memory came rushing back—how I had tried to return to the Blackwood pack, only to be struck in the head and knocked out.“Alpha Killian!” I gasped as the truth sank in. I tried to stand, but I was held back. I was tied to a chair again, unable to break free.“Who’s here now? Let me go! Please, let me go!” I begged, desperate to rescue Alpha Killian. I needed to save him from the rogues who had attacked our pack.No matter how hard I struggled, the ropes only tightened, and the pain in my head wouldn’t ease. I felt foolish, knowing m
Killian's POVThe priest walked up to me where I stood right beside Scarlet. With an ancient dagger in his grip, he smiled at me. “Your thumb, Alpha Killian,” he requested, and I stretched my hand toward him.He did the same with Scarlet. It was the oath-taking, and we had to merge our bloods to be joined. But one thing Scarlet and Chief Han didn’t know was that if an Alpha’s mind or heart isn’t set on something, it doesn’t go as planned.Standing before everyone and Scarlet, my only desire was to be with Elora, who was in the room. I had a plan—a plan to ruin the oath-taking at the final phase just to be with my dearest Elora.“You may join hands now, Alpha Killian!” The priest commanded, and reluctantly, I turned to meet Scarlet’s gaze.She was definitely happy and excited to finally think she had me in her grip. She stretched out her hand, which was bleeding, and I did the same.But just as we were about to merge the blood, the doors to the hall burst open, drawing our attention im
Elora's POV.Watching Killian walk out of the room was one thing, but knowing that I was going to be locked up and monitored for eternity felt like a gnawing fury on my nerves.My fingers ran through each strand of my hair as I paced around the room. Frustration, depression, and anger gnawed at my insides.“His mate? Was I considered his mate when he agreed to marry Scarlet? What stupidity is this? What reality of pain is this?” I panicked, my lips clenched between my teeth.I wanted to leave. I wanted to run as far away as I could from this madness, away from the scary world, away from the Blackwood pack, away from Killian!As I kept pacing back and forth in the room, my mind consumed with nothing but pain and anger, the sudden loud ringing of the bells caught my attention, making me halt briefly.“It’s happening… they are about to take the oath!” At that moment, my heart felt so heavy, like a burden had fallen on me, and I couldn’t help but feel broken.A heavy gasp of disbelief lef
Elora's POV."I let you out of my sight before, and every day of my life was hell. I am not and never letting you out of my sight this time! Never!" Alpha Killian's words echoed in my mind as I sat on the wooden bed, my eyes welling with tears.What did he mean by that? Was he serious, or was this just another one of his manipulations? My thoughts spiraled into a chaotic mess as I bit my lower lip in frustration. I stood up, pacing around the room, my heart pounding with uncertainty. I had expected something different after his guards took me away—perhaps even my death. But instead, Killian seemed... attached, more so than ever before. Clinging to me and claiming me like I was still his."Could it be that what Bryce told me was a lie? No, there's no way Bryce would lie about something like this, right?" I muttered under my breath, feeling like I was going insane as I continued to pace.Just as I tried to make sense of it all, the door creaked open, and a maid entered, bowing slightl
Killian's POV.“Alpha Killian, you called!” Beta Dayton's voice resonated through the room the second he entered, his head bowed slightly as he showed his respect to me.I paused for a second, my eyes still fixed outside the room as my back was turned to him. I tried my best to hide it, to hide my pain, but it wasn't working. It felt like I was forcing something that wasn't meant to be.Elora never wanted to return to the Blackwood pack, and I forced her to. This broke my heart so deeply, but who wouldn't want to run away after hearing their Mate is getting married to someone else?“Alpha Killian?” Beta Dayton called out again as he took a few steps closer to where I was standing. “Are you okay?” he asked, his tone tinged with concern and worry for me.Swiftly, I turned on my heels, our eyes meeting at that moment. Mine were already red because of the tears I had been holding back as much as I could.“Alpha…” he began, seeing my dead gaze fixed on him, but I cut him off. If there was
