Elora's POV. “Get off my sight, Killian!” I immediately placed my hand on Killian's chest, pushing him off my face. I pushed him so hard that it was best he fell to the ground, but Killian was one heady Alpha that wouldn't let go that easily. To my utmost surprise, he held my hand in place, fixing it on his chest and not letting go of it. Truth be told, I was trying to resist him; he was so alluring that the only way to resist him was to run out of his presence. It felt as though he knew that holding me in place for so long would make me want him; it could make me wish to have him. “Let me go now, Killian!” I struggled to pull my hand out of his grip, but just then, he scoffed, catching my attention and making me stare right into his eyes. “I know you feel it too, Elora... It beats for you, and it calls for you.” He uttered, leaning closer to my face at this moment, his lips barely inches apart from mine. “You don't know how long I have craved to have you this close, to have you
**Elora's POV**The morning light reflected from the window did no justice to itself. It felt as though it was going to burn my face and never let me see the light of day again.Slowly opening my eyes, the first sight before me was Alpha Killian. He was sleeping peacefully and soundly. He wasn't looking bothered by anything, and even worse, he was charming in his sleep.You barely see anyone who would look this crazily cute while they slept. I was pretty sure I looked like an alien while sleeping. I was never going to be close to being pretty.A smile curled up on my lips as I stared at him, looking peaceful and calm when, in all right sense, he was a terror, the kind that all werewolves would want to run from.He was kind to me, and it made me feel pleased. Unlike the stories I had heard about him.“You are mine tonight, Elora!”The words he said to me last night as he leaned closer to my face echoed loudly in my ear, and I felt chills running down my spine at this point. I wasn't ex
Elora's POV.“If you didn't kill my father, then who did, Alpha Killian?” I asked, my focus fixed on him as I awaited his response. I needed to understand what was at play at this moment.It would be a great relief if I knew who was behind it all, if I knew who killed my father and wanted my pack from me too.“Elora?” he called as he reached for my hair and slowly tucked it behind my ear.“Do you believe in friends being your worst enemy?” he questioned, making me crease my brows. I wasn't sure where he was taking the conversation.I wasn't sure what he was trying to say, but I kept mute, still hoping he would explain more to me.“And what is that supposed to mean? What does friends have to do with the question I asked?” I inquired a few seconds after his question was posed.“When Dayton captured the man who attacked you back at the Ocean pack, he stated that the person who sent him was close to both the Blackwood pack and the Ocean pack. Meaning he or she is a friend. And you know wh
Elora's POV“I crave your touch every second of the day, Elora!” Alpha Killian's words echoed in my mind, bringing an unstoppable smile to my face. It felt as if I couldn't think of anything else but him.This morning, he had been so sweet and romantic that I found myself wishing and praying for every day to be just like this. Seeing that he had left the room, I didn't hesitate to pull off my clothes and head to the bathroom for a quick bath.I didn't want to appear dirty when Alpha Killian returned. I wanted to be clean just for him. I wasn't sure why I felt this enthusiasm, but I just wanted to cherish this feeling for a while.It had been ages since I felt loved and loved in return. My first mate had rejected me on the spot, and only my father knew about it. But somehow, Killian knew, and it made me wonder how.As soon as I entered the bathroom, I turned on the shower. Once I was done, I left the bathroom and headed to the wardrobe to pick out a new outfit. I wanted something attr
Elora's POV"Come on in… I'm just shocked!" I urged, and Bryce followed me from behind as we headed for the living room.Once there, he took a seat, and I did too. A maid soon entered with a glass of drink for both Bryce and me. I couldn't stop staring at him in utter shock."If you keep staring at me that way, it'll look as though I came here to threaten you, Elora, so please stop!" He scoffed, snapping me back to my senses."Why are you here, Bryce?" I finally managed to voice the question that had been swirling in my head."To see you, Elora… is that now a crime? I went to the mansion at the Ocean Pack, but they told me you left last night. I didn't hesitate to come here. You know one thing, Elora… no matter where you are, I'll always find my way to you!" A sneer curled up on his lips as he declared this, making my brows furrow."Well," I pursed my lips, trying to maintain my composure. "I had to leave with my mate. It wouldn't be right if I didn't come here with him, you know!" I
Killian's POV"Are you sure that is certain, Beta Dayton?" I asked as I came to a halt right before the hall where the meeting with the Elders would take place.I wasn't scared of meeting them; I was just reluctant, knowing how incredibly infuriating they could be. They would stop at nothing to make me look like a fool, and I didn't appreciate that."Yes, Alpha Killian! It is customary, and you have to do it. You must go in and see them right now!" Beta Dayton urged as he reached for the door.He was about to open it and announce my arrival, but I stopped him, grabbing his hand and staring at him with pleading eyes."No! There's no way I'm acting in your place, Alpha Killian! This is your duty, and I won't take responsibility!" Dayton declared, and before I could utter another word, he pushed the door open. Everyone in the hall caught sight of me immediately."Fuck you, Dayton!" I muttered, making Dayton smile with his head slightly bowed. He was definitely enjoying this, revelling in
Killian's POVGetting closer to where Elder Edward was seated, I wasted no time in grabbing his neck and pulling him up from his seat. I immediately drew him closer to my face, and as I glared into his eyes, I felt nothing but fury.He had made such a silly and nasty statement that I couldn't forgive or forget. His words were too vile and rough, and he definitely needed someone to teach him a lesson.“How dare you mock the Luna of the Blackwood Pack?” I snarled, my grip around his neck tightening as I glared into his eyes.As far as I was concerned, no one was qualified to speak about my Luna that way. She was mine to protect, and I wouldn't hesitate to do that, even if it meant spilling blood.“Al… Alpha Killian, I… I didn't mean it that way!” he fought to say, his words choking in his throat as my grip became more intense.“Never you ever…” I leaned closer to his face, the fury within me reflected in my eyes. “Never you speak about my Luna that way, is that clear?” I warned before t
Elora's POVI didn't want to do it, but it was the right thing to do. It was best to hand over the pack to Alpha Killian.“I have decided to let you take over the Ocean Pack, merging both the Blackwood Pack and the Ocean Pack together!” I declared openly, my eyes glistening with joy as I spoke to Alpha Killian.He paused for a moment, clearly shocked by my words, especially considering how I had accused him non-stop in the past.“You’re kidding me, right? You just want to see my reaction?” he scoffed as he stared at me in disbelief.“I’m not...” I began, but then Alpha Killian placed his hand on mine, holding it firmly as he leaned closer to my face.“You don’t have to hand over your pack to me because of what the elders said back at the hall. It’s obvious they were just trying to pull a stunt, Elora. I’ll respect your decision only when it’s genuine and sincere!” Alpha Killian stated, making me feel frustrated.He had always wanted to merge the packs, and now that it was happening, o
