Elora's POV.Driving back home all alone with Beta Dayton in the car, I felt nervous, or rather, anxious. I didn't expect to be heading back home this way without Alpha Killian by my side.As the car kept moving, I shut my eyes briefly, trying to get thoughts of Alpha Killian off my mind, but to my amazement, I saw him. His eyes were staring deeply into mine, and his voice sent shivers down my spine as if he were sitting right next to me at that moment.I opened my eyes immediately, trying to catch my breath. If there was anything I wanted, it definitely wasn't the idea of letting myself get lost in fantasies about Alpha Killian.Soon, the car came to a stop, and wondering what had happened, I turned to look out of the window. "We have arrived at the mansion, Luna!" Beta Dayton informed me. Not wanting to sleep in the car, I opened the door and climbed out.He was going to take what we bought at the mall into the house, so I didn't bother to help him. I just felt lost and alone, whic
Elora's POV.“You are the Ocean pack's blood, dear Elora, and we don't trust you to give us the rightful heir we need. So why don't you just leave the pack instead of holding Alpha Killian back?” Chief Han uttered, his words dripping with malice.I could see the rage and malice glistening in his eyes as he focused on me. He was nothing but a cunning old man, and I wished to hit him. I wished I could get my revenge on him for speaking to me in such a manner.As I kept glaring at him, contemplating the meaning of his words, a deeper voice echoed in the room, instantly pulling me out of my trance and drawing my attention to the door.“How dare you say such things to the Luna of the Blackwood pack?” Alpha Killian stepped in, his presence radiating rage.It was obvious that he had heard everything Chief Han had said to me, and it made me act swiftly.“You don't…” I started to speak, my hands gripping my dress tightly. Before I could finish what I was saying, Chief Han interrupted me. He st
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
