Elora's POV.“He didn't tell you? Well, I am the new Luna of the Blackwood pack, and as it stands, you are expected to show your respect to me, Ex Luna, Elora!” she uttered through her gritted teeth as she glared at me.“Bow to me!” she commanded, making me scoff, the tears in my eyes beginning to trickle down.“What?” I exclaimed again as I stared at her in disbelief. What gave her the right to speak to me in that manner?Alpha Killian caused it all. He took her in and made her his Luna.“Scarlet, that is enough! Mind your words!” Alpha Killian commanded with a deep voice, the anger he felt evident in his tone.“And what if I don't? It's not like she is above me!” Scarlet declared, and just then, Alpha Killian didn't hesitate to walk closer to her.He grabbed her hand and pulled her away from me.“Elora, I am sorry for the confusion… we should sit down and…” he began, but I couldn't let him finish. I was filled with bitterness and betrayal.“No, Killian… we have nothing to talk about
Elora's POV.“So what now? You want me for yourself? You want to become my Luna?” he let out, making my brows crease instantly.His words might mean nothing to him, but believe me, they brought back memories—sad memories at that. I couldn't find my words as I turned back to look at him.“We both know how much I have begged for you, Elora! We both know how much I have asked that you stay with me, but you still refuse! So what? What now?” He was acting like he was insane and blaming it on me, but I wasn't going to accept his blames and claims.“Well, who knows, Killian... if you didn't have another Luna in your room and your arms, I might have stayed back!” I snapped, folding my arms across my chest.“Oh please, Elora! Come off it, Elora!” he scoffed, placing his hand on his waist. “We both know you never wanted me! You claim I have another girl in my arms and room, but what about you, huh? What about you?” he yelled at the top of his voice, focusing his attention on me.“You are insane
Killian's POV“You never wanted me, Elora, so please stop acting like you do!” I snapped the second I saw her looking all broken and blaming me for everything.I wasn't lying. After all, she had refused to come back to the pack with me, she had refused to be my Luna, and I couldn't help but let her see that I was also furious and mad at what she had done.If she couldn't believe me enough to come back to the pack with me, then I was pretty sure that she wasn't going to believe or trust anything that I had to say to her. She was never going to trust the fact that I had nothing to do with Scarlet. She wasn't going to believe that I was just trying to stop Scarlet from getting stung by the glass on the ground.Just then, she walked closer to me, and with her eyes piercing deeply into mine, I couldn't help but sense anger, fury, and rage in her.“I hate you so much, Alpha Killian!” she snarked, and before I could say a single word to her, she turned on her heels and ran away from where I
Killian's POVThe second I heard a knock on the door, I didn't hesitate to order the person in. I was expecting it to be Stella so I could send her out, but luckily, it was Beta Dayton who had obviously betrayed me back there in the room.“You called for me, Alpha Killian!” He bowed his head towards me. I couldn't help but sense the fear he held inside. I was pretty sure he knew what he had done. I was sure he knew that he had messed up and it wasn't fair or right.“Yes, Beta Dayton… now, why don't you explain to me what you were thinking to have allowed Elora to open the door to my room when Scarlet was obviously there?” I wished, pacing to and fro as I awaited a response from him. I needed to understand what he had going on in his mind at that moment.“I… I didn't mean to, Alpha Killian!” He stuttered, showing his fear immediately.“You didn't mean to?” I paused, halting right in my tracks, my gaze turned to him fully with a creased brow.“What the fuck do you mean by that, Beta Day
Killian's POV“Beta Dayton, what is wrong? Speak to me this minute!” I snapped the second I walked up to him, my hand placed right on his shoulders.“Did something happen to Elora?” My eyes widened as I scrutinised him for answers or responses to my question.“No, Alpha Killian… it's just that someone is here to see you!” He shook his head as he let out a breath, trying to catch his breath.“What? So because someone is here to see me, you decided to storm into my study like something bad had happened to my Luna? Do you know the consequences of making your Alpha think otherwise?” My fist on his shoulder tightened, making him lose his breath for a split second.“I… I am sorry, Alpha! I didn't mean to, but it is a serious and difficult situation!” He let out, and seeing that he didn't mean any harm, I let go of his shoulder.“What is more important than my Luna?” I turned on my heels and was about to return to the couch where I was sitting before he stormed into the study when suddenly,
Killian's POV“What do I owe this visit, Chief Han? Last time I checked, I didn't call for you. Do you miss me so much that you just couldn't help but wish to see me?” I raised my brows as I made fun of him.Seeing him acting all furious made me happy in some way. I was glad that he felt that way. I was glad he was sitting before me with fury.“You have pushed me too much, Alpha Killian!” he snarled, his fists clenched as he glared at me from where he was sitting, his tone carrying an intense sense of anger.“Pushed you? I'm not sure I have yet, Chief Han… by the way, what did I do? It's not like I killed your mistress.” I sneered, acting unbothered by his presence.I walked over to the chair that was closest to me and, pulling it out, I sat down. My fingers drummed rhythmically on the table as I watched him and Scarlet act so childish before me.“Don't act like you don't know what you have done, Killian! Don't act like you are not aware of what you did to your Luna!” he stated, his w
Elora's POV.The last words Alpha Killian had said to me kept coming back to my mind. They echoed in my head constantly, and no matter what I did to push them aside, it just didn't work. It seemed impossible to forget them.“Argh! Fuck! I hate you so much, Killian Blackwood!” I shouted, feeling a surge of frustration. I slammed my hands on the bed repeatedly, like a maniac, on the verge of losing my mind.I felt an intense urge to yank my hair out just to stop thinking about Alpha Killian. But I knew that would be too extreme and could seriously harm me.“Kyla, please, can you make this stop? Please! I have gone through more than enough already! This is so much torture!” I cried out, lying on the bed with my eyes shut tightly."I'm sorry, Elora, but that's not something I can do," Kyla said softly, her tone filled with empathy. "But it's not as if you can't stop them. You just miss him; he is our mate after all!" She continued, her words making me snap my eyes open."Mate?" I scoffed,
Elora's POV. Standing right outside Bryce's room, I felt an intense urge to do one thing: forget Alpha Killian.“Elora, you’re looking…” Bryce began, but I cut him off.“If we don’t leave right now, I might change my mind. Or is that what you want?” I asked, lifting my brows.Immediately, he shook his head. “No, I’m sorry. I’ll get dressed right away and inform the team that I’m coming to the company. Just a few seconds.”With a roll of my eyes, I walked over to the couch and sat down to wait for Bryce. Even as I waited, Alpha Killian kept invading my thoughts, making me feel a mix of frustration and disgust. “Oh my Goddess!” I muttered, shutting my eyes briefly and reaching for my temples. I massaged them gently, trying to soothe the sudden headache that had come over me. But then, a vivid and unwelcome imagination invaded my mind.I pictured Killian with Scarlet, their bodies intertwined in a passionate embrace. The scene played out in my head with vivid detail, him consumed by he
