Elora's POV. “It's a waste of time trying to explain it to me, Elora... I understand if you'll never trust me!” Alpha Killian's words reverberated in my head as I sat down in the room all alone. I was left alone, and it felt kind of frustrating. I felt bad seeing him leave that way. I might have made a mistake, but it was definitely to protect my pack. I just wanted him to know that I was never going to fall for his tricks. He wanted my pack, but I wasn't going to give it to him. Just then, the pain in my hand became intense, and I couldn't help but let out a soft, painful cry as I clutched my hand tightly. “He is obviously in pain, and you can feel it... What more do you want him to do, Elora?” Kyla spoke up with a soft voice. I understood that she wanted me to be closer to Killian because he was my mate, but I didn't want to. “I don't care if he is in pain, Kyla. That isn't what makes him genuine, you know?” I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. “Come on, Elora, we both know how muc
Elora's POV.“Alpha Killian?” I muttered, recognizing his voice from where I stood. I walked closer to the exit door, and peeking through the tiny opening, I found him speaking to Beta Dayton. “What about your Luna?” Dayton questioned him, and I couldn't help but sense nothing but anger in Alpha Killian's voice. “For now, let's just say I don't have a Luna, just a mate!” He clarified, and immediately I felt a pang in my heart, making me clutch my chest instantly. “What's this pain?” I mumbled as my brows creased. It felt as though I was being rejected by Alpha Killian. “You need to make him know that you are sorry and would go with him, Elora. Come on, do it now!” Kyla urged me, and for the first time, I felt the need to do so. My hand reached for the door like someone was compelling me, like Kyla had taken over me and wouldn't resign. As I was going to pull the door open, Chief Grayson's voice sounded from behind.“If you want to speak to him, why don't you just go ahead and do
Killian's POV.It was finally dawn, just as I had anticipated. I didn't stay with Elora all through the night; I was wide awake, expecting her to come to me and apologise for what happened. I was expecting my mate to walk up to me and tell me that she'd come with me to my pack, but I guess her pack was more important to her than mine. “Alpha Killian, the car is ready to leave!” Beta Dayton informed me the second he walked into the bar chamber. He bowed his head to me, and seeing that I hadn't finished my drink, I took in a large gulp. The burning sensation it gave me as it lurched into my tummy handed out nothing but the fact that Elora would never want me; she would never accept me or see me as her Alpha. I was a failure to her and her worst enemy, the Alpha she loathed, the Alpha she disliked. The second I took in the last drop of drink, I walked out of the room, Dayton following me from behind. The second we got out of the mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sudden urge to sta
Killian's POV.I headed straight for the mansion doors, Beta Dayton following me from behind. Getting to the door, it was opened for me, and I didn't hesitate to walk into the mansion. “Home!” I halted briefly as I took in the scent that enveloped me at the first step. Just as I was still trying to find peace in the environment, Stella rushed to me. “Alpha Killian, you are back finally! I'm glad. How are you? Did…” She was going to keep asking, but recalling what she did, I couldn't help but frown immediately. “Act like you didn't see me, Stella!" I cautioned as I slid my hands into my pockets. I was going to walk out on her, but simply then, she held my hand, halting me right in my tracks. “Can we stop the fight already, Alpha Killian? I told you, I didn't do it!” She tried to defend herself, her voice barely above a whisper as she sounded pretty nervous. “Firstly…” I trailed my glare to her hand that held onto mine tightly, and I didn't hesitate to pull my hand out of her gri
Killian's POV. “Mate!” Elora whispered as she stared at me from where she was standing. She had a smile on her face, and I couldn't help but keep admiring her from where I sat down. I couldn't still believe that Elora was standing before me; she was in the Blackwood pack and was willing to stay back with me. I kept staring at her, lost in my thoughts, when just then, Chief Han's voice broke through my thoughts, pulling me out of a trance and breaking the connection I had with Elora in the first place. “Alpha Killian? Why were you so careless as to let go of your own Luna on your arrival at your pack? Doesn't she mean a lot to you?” He asked, my eyes darting towards him at this point. He was still taunting me, but I still tried my best to remain calm. I tried my best not to say something that would provoke him. “She's my Luna, and I love her for that. She means a lot to me, Chief Han!” A smirk curled up on my lips as I responded to his question. I bet Elora was going to watch us
Elora's POV. “Get off my sight, Killian!” I immediately placed my hand on Killian's chest, pushing him off my face. I pushed him so hard that it was best he fell to the ground, but Killian was one heady Alpha that wouldn't let go that easily. To my utmost surprise, he held my hand in place, fixing it on his chest and not letting go of it. Truth be told, I was trying to resist him; he was so alluring that the only way to resist him was to run out of his presence. It felt as though he knew that holding me in place for so long would make me want him; it could make me wish to have him. “Let me go now, Killian!” I struggled to pull my hand out of his grip, but just then, he scoffed, catching my attention and making me stare right into his eyes. “I know you feel it too, Elora... It beats for you, and it calls for you.” He uttered, leaning closer to my face at this moment, his lips barely inches apart from mine. “You don't know how long I have craved to have you this close, to have you
**Elora's POV**The morning light reflected from the window did no justice to itself. It felt as though it was going to burn my face and never let me see the light of day again.Slowly opening my eyes, the first sight before me was Alpha Killian. He was sleeping peacefully and soundly. He wasn't looking bothered by anything, and even worse, he was charming in his sleep.You barely see anyone who would look this crazily cute while they slept. I was pretty sure I looked like an alien while sleeping. I was never going to be close to being pretty.A smile curled up on my lips as I stared at him, looking peaceful and calm when, in all right sense, he was a terror, the kind that all werewolves would want to run from.He was kind to me, and it made me feel pleased. Unlike the stories I had heard about him.“You are mine tonight, Elora!”The words he said to me last night as he leaned closer to my face echoed loudly in my ear, and I felt chills running down my spine at this point. I wasn't ex
Elora's POV.“If you didn't kill my father, then who did, Alpha Killian?” I asked, my focus fixed on him as I awaited his response. I needed to understand what was at play at this moment.It would be a great relief if I knew who was behind it all, if I knew who killed my father and wanted my pack from me too.“Elora?” he called as he reached for my hair and slowly tucked it behind my ear.“Do you believe in friends being your worst enemy?” he questioned, making me crease my brows. I wasn't sure where he was taking the conversation.I wasn't sure what he was trying to say, but I kept mute, still hoping he would explain more to me.“And what is that supposed to mean? What does friends have to do with the question I asked?” I inquired a few seconds after his question was posed.“When Dayton captured the man who attacked you back at the Ocean pack, he stated that the person who sent him was close to both the Blackwood pack and the Ocean pack. Meaning he or she is a friend. And you know wh
