Killian's POV."Alpha Killian, it is time!" Beta Dayton's voice woke me up from sleep. I had been dreaming about Elora and how I was going to get her into my grip when he did so.I was going to get mad at him for doing such, but on second thought, he didn't mean to. After all, I was the one who had told him to leave the mansion at dawn, and as it stood, it was already the dawn of a new day."I'll be waiting for you outside the mansion!" he explained briefly before he took his wristwatch that was on the nightstand. Putting it on, he left the room. I was left with rubbing my eyes and getting ready.Without reluctance, I stood up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I needed to be fast too. I had a quick bath, and once I was done, I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my waist.I wandered out of the bathroom. My clothes had already been arranged by Beta Dayton. I took hold of them and put them on. I was almost at the verge of finishing my dressing when the door was pushed op
Killian's POV.I wondered why Beta Dayton had kept staring out of the car, but one thing I didn't care to do was turn around to see the same place he had his eyes fixed on.“Let's leave now so we can find Elora in time and…” just as I was about to continue, Beta Dayton interrupted, turning to me with confusion and shock.“I'm not sure if we have to do that anymore, Alpha Killian… it looks like we've already found your mate!” he mumbled, and just then, I didn't hesitate to turn around.I wanted to know why he had said that and understand why he kept looking at the same spot for so long.Turning my gaze out of the car, I saw her. My eyes caught sight of no other person than her.“Elora!” I gasped, my eyes widening in shock, surprise, and astonishment as I saw my own mate standing outside the mall in a blue gown that stopped at her knees and her hair packed in a ponytail. She looked lost for a second.“What is she doing here? Is she now a worker or something?” Beta Dayton asked rhetorica
Killian's POV“You want me to come with you? Now you feel you own me, right?” she scoffed, folding her arms across her chest as she turned to look at me.“You never wanted me that night, Alpha Killian. So, what has changed?” she asked, her focus fixed on me. Her brows furrowed as she watched me from where she stood.At this point, I wasn't sure what to say to her. Bringing up the past, bringing up that night when I was stupid and silly, never occurred to me. I didn't know she would remember it.I wished to tell her how foolish I was, to expose the full truth, but then, how in the world was I going to do that with Bryce standing before her?I needed to apologise, but I felt Bryce would see me as weak and mock me. What if, after I apologise, she still doesn't agree to go back with me? What next?Several thoughts slammed through my mind as I stood there, mute, unsure of what to say to Elora.‘I'm sorry, Elora… please come back to me,’ I said inwardly, wishing she could hear me.I wasn't
Killian's POVClimbing out of the car, only one thing mattered: informing Chief Grayson that Elora was with Bryce.“Alpha Killian, you are here, but…” Chief Grayson stopped for a second as he looked over my shoulder, wondering if Elora was with me.“Is there a problem?” I asked, my brows creasing as I tried to understand his concern.“I see you but not your Luna, Alpha Elora… is she okay? Is everything fine?” He asked, his tone filled with query and concern.“You want to see Elora?” I asked.“Yes, I have missed her so much. Seeing her wouldn't be a bad idea, you know…” he stated clearly, and I nodded.I was ready at this moment, set to do what I had come to do.“Elora is…” I was going to say, but the words that Dayton had said to me kept echoing in my mind.It was as though my inner wolf was talking to me, as though I was being restricted by something. I couldn't find myself finishing the statement.I oddly found myself not wanting to harm her. I didn't want to see her disappointed in
Killian's POVThe second I lifted my claws, I smashed him right on the hand he had used to block my hit. Blood dripped from his hand, and my claws were stained with his blood too.Everyone who had caught sight of the scene began to mumble, and they all feared me at this moment. They hadn't seen me this way before. They had never seen me act so harshly towards anyone.“I am sorry, Alpha Killian!” He went on his knees, his head bowed to the ground as he apologised to me. I was pretty sure that he was in pain. I was sure that he never expected it, but that was what he got for calling that cunning bitch my Luna.I had just one Luna, and that was Elora and no one else. The fact that they had snatched her before my eyes increased the fury that I felt.Just then, I turned around, my breaths coming out in panting gasps. “I warn you all!” I paused as I glared into each of their eyes.“Never call her my Luna! I have just one Luna! Let this serve as a warning! Is that clear?” I commanded, and be
Elora's POV.“He looked pretty disappointed in me at that moment!” I muttered to myself as I kept staring at my wristband, gently touching it or rubbing it.One thing that I never expected was the fact that Alpha Killian would show up all of a sudden in the Ocean Pack.I thought he never wanted me, he never wanted to see me because I didn't have an heir for him yet, just as the elders had kept on persuading him to get. I felt increasingly bad knowing that he had left in the first place.I felt guilty too and wasn't sure anymore what I was going to do from here.“You know, you should have gone with him to the Blackwood Pack when I urged you to do so, Elora!” Kyla, my inner wolf, criticised me as I sat still.She had urged me to go with Alpha Killian back then, but I didn't listen. I wasn't sure what had kept on pushing me, but I just didn't find myself wanting to head back to the Blackwood Pack with Killian.“That's enough, Kyla!” I warned angrily. I hated it so much whenever she was r
Elora's POVThe second I got into the park, ready to find a place to sit and get distracted, my eyes caught sight of the one person I didn't want to see: Chief Graysin.My heart raced rapidly as my eyes widened. I was doomed, and there definitely wasn't anything I could do. He'd find me and ask me questions that I knew would upset him.Just as my heart raced and my mind couldn't find what to do next, I suddenly felt a strong grip around my hand from behind.“What is…” I was about to let out and fight against the grip, but immediately, it pulled me backward, making me collide with the body frame of a big man.His scent wafted through my nostrils, and I was certain that I had perceived such a scent before. It wasn't an unfamiliar person; I was grabbed by someone I knew.Lifting my face to see who it was, I found Alpha Killian staring deeply into my eyes with that tempting gaze of his. My heart thumped even faster this time.My hand rested on his chest, and I couldn't help but feel the w
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
