Elora's POV“What was the statement Chief Han made to you on your first day here at the pack?” Killian asked, and for the first time today, I froze, staring directly into his eyes.I felt empty, lost in shock. I had thought he had forgotten everything about it, but I guess it still etched right in his senses. It remained there like it was glued, and he was never going to let it go until he heard it from me.“It's…” I was about to say, but Alpha Killian cut in, his words dripping with fury and rage.“Don't lie to me, Elora, and I mean every darn word I say to you. Lying to me won't help matters, not for a second!” Alpha Killian warned, his grip around my shoulders tightening like he was going to dislocate my arm from its socket.“You are hurting me, Killian!” I said as I pulled away from his grip immediately. Standing closer to him could lead to more harm than I had ever imagined, so it was best I took a step away from him.“I just want the truth, Elora. Not because I wish to intrude i
Elora's POVWaking up in the morning, I was welcomed back to reality in the Blackwood pack with nothing but silence and an empty room.“I guess he didn't come back last night!” I mumbled softly to myself, my eyes lowered to my fingers that fiddled with each other.I had tried staying up all night waiting for Alpha Killian. I had hoped he would return, but I guess I was wasting my time and efforts. I slept off without seeing him, and now, waking up, he was still nowhere to be found.Just as I was sitting on my bed, my phone rang, and I didn't hesitate to turn my attention to it. Realising it was my alarm, I was reminded that I had to meet with Bryce.With reluctance in my every move, I stood up from my bed and headed straight for the bathroom, making sure to have a quick bath. Truth be told, I didn't want to meet up with Bryce. I just wanted to speak to him on the phone and then get back to my life with Alpha Killian. But Bryce wanted to see me, and I couldn't say no to him no matter
Killian's POV“Alpha Killian, you have a meeting with the Alphas of the east. They want to welcome you back to the pack!” Beta Dayton informed me as he walked right behind me.I had been away from the room for so long, and that wasn't right. For some reason, I felt guilty. I felt an intense pang in my heart knowing that I wasn't with Elora all this while.I should have at least returned to the room to meet her last night, but I was too worried about what she might think of me.I was headed to the room at this point with my fist clenched. It was best that I see her in the morning rather than last night.“Alpha Killian?” Beta Dayton called out, trying to get my attention. He must have been worried, seeing that I didn't say a single word to him.Well, I wasn't listening to him because my thoughts, my memories, and everything were just fixed on getting to Elora.“I heard you, Beta Dayton!” I said, obviously lying to him at that moment. I didn't want to bother myself with something or some
Killian's POV.“He's got some nerve!” I handed the phone to Dayton, and with fury coursing through my veins, I turned on my heels and headed right for the door.I stormed out of the room and then the mansion. I walked over to the car that was waiting and immediately climbed into it. Dayton did the same, not wanting to provoke me even more.It was enough to see me angry or furious knowing that my mate was in the pack's garden with some other man and even worse, everyone thinks they are having an affair.“How could you let this happen to you, Elora! You are just getting here, and you let them deceive you?” I struck my fist on the car seat before me, and just then, Dayton ignited the engine of the car and zoomed out of the mansion, heading for the pack's garden.There was no way I was going to let this slide easily. Bryce was going to pay! He must pay for doing this to my Luna.Dayton drove as fast as he could towards the direction, and after what felt like an eternity, we arrived at our
Killian's POV“Repeat what you just said, Bryce!” I confronted him, my fist clenched as I glared into his eyes.For a second, I wished he wouldn't say a single word, I wished he would shy away, but Bryce was just too tempting. It was certain he was willing to get into trouble.But guess what? I wasn't scared of getting into any trouble with him either.“You heard me right, Killian!” He walked closer to my face, his silly lips pronouncing my name without fear. “You will never be wanted by Elora!”I couldn't hold back the rage that I felt at this moment.Without hesitation, I punched him in the face, not caring how hard it was. Everyone who was shocked let out a gasp as they saw Bryce fall hard to the ground.“Alpha Killian, stop it, please!” Elora rushed towards me, holding my hand, trying to pull me back, trying to pull me away from Bryce.It was certain that Bryce could provoke me again, and I wouldn't hesitate to hit him harder than I already had.“Luna Elora, it's time to leave!” B
Killian's POV.“Are you kidding me right now, Elora? I should be the furious one here and not you! I should be the one asking the questions, Elora, and not you!” I declared, my eyes squinting in confusion.“And what questions do you have for me, Alpha Killian?” She mocked, folding her arms across her chest defiantly.At this moment, it dawned on me: no matter what, Bryce was right. She would never love me, even if we had sex.“You love him, don't you?” I probed, her eyes widening immediately upon hearing my question.“What? How could you suggest such a thing?” She snapped, her eyes still wide open.“Why wouldn't I when you left the mansion to go meet some man? You had me by your side, and...” I was going to keep talking, but she cut in swiftly.“By my side?” She scoffed, darting her eyes to the right before turning back to look at me. “You were never by my side, Killian, and no matter what, you have no right to ask if I love Bryce! He is just my best friend, and you think I want to h
Killian's POV.My fist clenched as I walked over to the door. Without waiting for her to say a single word, I stormed out of the room and headed for the mansion's exit. I needed to get as far away from her as possible.I knew she would be broken or sad, but at this point, I just didn't care. How could I, when she saw someone else as better than me?She found Bryce more comforting than me, her mate. The thought of it sent fury raging through my veins.Every single second of the day echoed nothing but my failure to have my Luna to myself.Getting out of the mansion, I walked over to the field to clear my head, to get my thoughts in order. I just couldn't believe what had happened because of Elora's carelessness.I shut my eyes immediately and, with my face turned to the sky, tried my best to stifle the rage that I felt, to hold it in.“You shouldn't have come here if you know that this is how you'd be…” I muttered as I opened my eyes slowly, bringing me back to reality.Just as I was st
Killian's POV“She will never love you, Alpha Killian! Stop trying to make her do so!” Stella snarled. My fist clenched tightly as I recalled one thing: Bryce had made the same statement at the pack's garden.Without a second delay, I turned to Stella. Because she had provoked me, I didn't hesitate to charge towards her and grab her neck tightly, feeling like I could rip her throat out.“You will kill your own step sister just because of her?” She thumped on my hand countless times, hoping I would stop, but that wasn't going to happen until I made her understand that keeping quiet was the best discipline an omega like her must have.“Alpha Killian, stop it, please!” She begged.I pulled her closer to my face, and with my glare fixed in her eyes, a painful smile crossed my lips; not because of what she said but because of what Elora had done. The fact that what they were saying about her not loving me was true.“Don't act stupid when you are with me, Stella. Don’t act like you know it
