Killian's POV.“We are ready to leave now, Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton bowed right before me the moment he stormed into the room, fully armoured and prepared.They were going to search for my Luna and bring her back this time, and I knew they would.It was almost the fifth day. We were on the third day of the search, and no matter how hard I tried to push the thoughts aside, I just couldn't.How in the world was I expected to marry someone I didn't love? And what if my Luna returned at that hour? Wouldn't it be the end of me?Elora wouldn't like this; she wouldn't want this.“Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton called out, seeing how silent I had become.“Yes…?” I snapped my gaze to meet him instantly.“We are set!” He repeated, his eyes fixed on me, waiting to hear what I would say next.“That's good then… you should leave now before it gets too late! You must find her today by all means, is that clear?” I commanded. With a swift bow, Beta Dayton responded to my command.“We will try our bes
Killian's POV.The second I got into the car, I didn’t hesitate to turn on the engine and step on the accelerator, zooming out of sight without hesitation.“Alpha Killian!” I could still hear Dayton’s shout from behind, and I saw through my side mirror that he wanted me to come back, to return to the mansion, but what good would that do?I’d only feel more broken; I’d only feel more devastated. I needed to find my mate myself. They said she’s dead? Fine!But I wasn’t going to accept such assertions until I knew for myself. Until I searched and didn’t find her.With my grip intensifying as it clenched the wheel, I drove with a speed I never imagined. It wasn’t that late, but it was dark.As I drove toward the edge of the pack, I kept my eyes peeled. “Dead? What a joke!”I sped towards the location where Beta Dayton had reported finding her blood-stained clothes, but no trace of her scent. When I reached the spot, I slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching as they locked up. The eng
Killian's POV.“Fine, if that’s how you want it, then I’ll show you that defying your Alpha is never the right choice!” I shouted, my voice laden with fury.With a fierce resolve, I lunged at him, my movements swift and determined. He remained rooted in place, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes fixed on me with a cold, challenging stare. His inaction only heightened my suspicion, making it seem as though he wanted me to be intimidated by his presence.Undeterred, I swung my arm back, preparing to strike. My plan was to slice open his throat and then deal with the rest of the rogues. But as I closed the distance, an unexpected wave of dizziness and a sharp, throbbing pain surged through me. My vision blurred, and an intense pressure seemed to constrict my head.“Arrrrgghhh!” I bellowed in agony, collapsing to my knees right in front of him. My hands flew to my head, trying to stave off the crushing pain, but it was relentless.“I see you’re feeling it now!” he sneered, his voic
Killian's POV.Sitting on a couch in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret and pain wash over me. If there was anything I had imagined would happen in life, it definitely wasn’t getting married to Scarlet, the woman brought to me by Chief Han.“We are done, Alpha!” The lady who was taking care of my face and hair informed me with a swift bow.With a wave of my hand, I silently asked her to leave, which she did. I was now alone in my room with my white suit and my red eyes glaring at my reflection.It was finally the day everyone in the pack had been waiting for—the day everyone except me, who was getting married, wanted to see.My hand reached up and massaged my temples as I felt a wave of confusion and frustration gnaw at my insides.After I had been attacked that night, I was never allowed to search for my mate. I was forced to believe that she was finally gone. Besides, the days I was given to search for her were over.I was getting married to Scarlet Holme
Killian's POV.Standing on the podium with my hand held out before me, I couldn't help but rest my case against the door in front of me. The hall was filled with other pack members, seated and ready to witness the union of their Alpha, Killian, and the despicable lady, Scarlet.Beta Dayton stood right beside me, his eyes fixed in the same direction. Soon, the chiming of the bells began, and the doors creaked open, echoing through the hall.“Arise!” A sudden command erupted from behind me, and everyone obeyed instantly. No one wanted to be seen as rebelling against the Alpha's union on a day like this.Just then, Scarlet walked into the hall, each step carefully calculated, a bright smile on her lips as she linked her arm with that of Chief Han, who helped her walk down the aisle.She looked up at me from where she was, and the only thing I could see in her eyes was nothing short of evil intentions.My gaze shifted to Chief Han, whose eyes glistened with malevolence as well.“They are
Killian's POV."She has been captured and taken..." Bryce started but didn't finish his words. I watched as his eyes scanned the place briefly. It was as though he was scared, and the person who had taken her was right in the hall with us.Just to make him speak, I took three steps closer to him, leaned in, blocking his view of others as I glared right into his eyes. "Captured by who?"He hesitated for a brief moment before parting his lips to speak. "Elora is in the hands of Alpha Rohan," he finally declared, his words making my brows crease.Alpha Rohan had never shown up after the fight and struggle to get Elora all this time after the marriage at the Ocean Pack. So hearing that he had taken hold of her now made things more difficult for me to understand and process.Besides, why didn't I think about asking the ones she knew about her whereabouts?"She has been with him all this time and..." just as he was about to continue, Chief Han broke in."Don't believe a single word he is sa
Rohan's POV.“Alpha Rohan…” Mr. Samuel, my housekeeper, bowed to me the second he walked into my room, his respect a symbol of love to me.“How is she doing?” I asked in a deep, cold voice.“She’s in good health now, and she has woken up. I think you can go meet her now,” Mr. Samuel urged in a calm tone.I nodded, and with a wave of my hand, he turned on his heels and left the room, shutting the door behind him as he walked out.After I had gotten Elora from the slave trade, she had refused to speak to me and slept for so long. She didn’t want to speak to me, and I understood it well.The fact that I had almost forced myself on her the last time she was in the mansion was something to be angry about for a long time, but unfortunately, I wasn’t myself. It wasn’t me.I wasn’t sure why I had acted that way, but one thing I was sure about was that something strange had happened to me.With a heavy sigh leaving my lips, I stood from my chair and looked at myself in the mirror one more time
Elora's POV.The deafening, unsettling noises from outside the mansion sent a shiver down my spine, mixing fear with a perverse thrill. The sounds were chaotic—shouting, smashing, and the distant clang of metal—each one a reminder of the danger that lurked just beyond the walls. My heart raced, torn between an urgent need to understand what was happening and an equally strong terror of running into the rogues responsible for the commotion.Only recently had I managed to escape the nightmarish grip of a ruthless master. The memories of that life haunted me, and the thought of being dragged back into it was unbearable. I had fought so hard to break free, to reclaim some semblance of freedom, and the possibility of slipping back into that hell was a chilling thought.The urgency of the situation was clear: Master Kai had arrived, a spectre from my past with a vendetta. He had sworn never to let me go, a promise he seemed determined to keep. He wasn’t aware that I had been sold to Al
