Elora's POV. I felt bad seeing Alpha Killian look so weak and vulnerable. I couldn't stop thinking about how he had glared at me too the second I tried getting closer to where he was standing. “It's all over now, Alpha Killian... It's over, truly!” I muttered as I patted him on the back like he was a child. I knew he couldn't hear what I was saying, but I was certain that his inner wolf was still there and awake. “Elora? Are you okay?” Chief Grayson asked as he and Stella ran into the room. It was obvious that he must have been scared to death, and he wished I had listened to him too. “Elora?” He called out, his hand reaching for my hair, as he thanked the goddess for saving my life before his eyes. He was certain that he had seen me end my own life too. “Can you quit your Thanksgiving and help me out here?” I complained as Killian's weight was becoming too much for me to bear and handle.He was a man, and I was a woman. Even if we were of the same rank, an Alpha, there was no wa
Elora's POV. “You have a mate now, Elora... It's best if you focus on him. I'm sure he needs you to do that, even if he was the one that killed…” Chief Grayson was going to keep saying, but knowing where he was taking his statement, I didn't hesitate to stand on my feet forcefully. My fist clenched as I turned to look at him. If he wasn't someone I took to heart, I was definitely going to say something bad to him. I just had to restrain myself. “I'll be leaving now, Chief!” I bowed my head to him, and without hesitation, I turned on my heels and walked out of the room. I didn't want to hear him talk about Killian not being the one who killed my father. It hasn't been confirmed yet, so it was pretty best if he didn't conclude regardless. With a deep sigh leaving my lips, I walked over to my room, ready to get some rest. As I got closer to the door, I couldn't help but hear whispers from the room. It was obvious that Alpha Killian was in my room, but last time I checked, he was st
Killian's POV. “Mother! Father! Please, please don't go. Don't leave me!” I cried bitterly as pain tore through my insides. I hid at the bottom of the car, just as my mother had instructed me. I was just a weak little boy, without a mother and a father, during the full moon. *******“Ughh!” I gasped as my eyes snapped open, the ceiling in the room welcoming me back to reality immediately. “It was just another dream!” I muttered beneath my breath as I realised that I was never going back to my painful past. That I was never still that little boy who had to lie low while they killed his parents. “It's all just fucked up!” I mumbled softly.Just as I was caught up in my thoughts about what was happening or had happened to me, I suddenly felt something heavy on my right shoulder. Turning to my right-hand side, I found Elora, my Luna lying on my body. At his point, it dawned on me that something must have happened last night during the full moon, seeing how she was closer to me.My e
Killian's POV. Standing before the one man who had dared to kill my Luna and who had dared to harm Elora, I couldn't help but tighten my fist in anger and fury. Staring at him, I felt my insides burning with rage, and one thing I disliked were lies. “What if I remind you since you don't remember?” I snarled as I went closer to him, crouching down to his level. I glared right into his eyes as I spoke. He had a sinister glare on his face, and I bet he was sane and knew what he was doing. He was going to be a tough one, but nothing was too tough for me to handle. Without hesitation, I snatched his neck, and immediately, my claws began to dig into his skin, making him growl in pain. “Arrgghh!” A smile curled up on my lips as I saw him in this state, and I was glad that he was suffering too. “I'll ask you this question one more time, and I need a response from you... Who sent you?” I questioned again with a deep voice, my rage boiling with so much intensity. “No one!” He b
Killian's POV. “No one must know that she did this... Is that clear?” I questioned, turning to look at the already-dead man that was lying on the table before me. “Yes, Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton bowed his head as he responded. I understood that he didn't believe the man, but there was every possibility that Stella did it, that Stella had caused it all. Without wasting any more time, I turned on my heels and walked towards the door. Getting to the door, I halted and turned my gaze halfway towards Beta Dayton. “Make sure his body is taken care of secretly!” I ordered, and without a second word or glance at him, I dashed out of the room. My head filled with just one thought: Why would Stella want to hurt my mate that badly? I understood that she was lusting over me, but there was no way she would go this far just to prove her point. My fist clenched as the scene where the man had informed me that Stella did it to Elora came crawling back into my head. Immediately, I headed for
Killian's POV. It felt sad knowing that I wasn't going to head back to the Blackwood pack with my mate, with Luna, and with Elora. I wanted to do everything with her, but in this case, I guess I was just pushing it all. With a heavy heart, I walked up to my room. Opening the door, I found Elora still sleeping peacefully. I guess she had really stressed herself out during the night for her to still be asleep at this moment. A bright smile curled up on my lips as I closed the door and walked over to where she was lying, sleeping peacefully. Sitting closer to her on the bed, I couldn't help but stare at her sleeping. “You look more beautiful when you are asleep!” I whispered as I kept staring at her face. It was so attractive at this point that looking away wasn't an option for me. Just as I kept staring at her, I felt my heart race rapidly; it yearned for her; my inner wolf wanted her, and I couldn't control myself. She was too beautiful and alluring to resist. I suddenly found
Elora's POV. “It's a waste of time trying to explain it to me, Elora... I understand if you'll never trust me!” Alpha Killian's words reverberated in my head as I sat down in the room all alone. I was left alone, and it felt kind of frustrating. I felt bad seeing him leave that way. I might have made a mistake, but it was definitely to protect my pack. I just wanted him to know that I was never going to fall for his tricks. He wanted my pack, but I wasn't going to give it to him. Just then, the pain in my hand became intense, and I couldn't help but let out a soft, painful cry as I clutched my hand tightly. “He is obviously in pain, and you can feel it... What more do you want him to do, Elora?” Kyla spoke up with a soft voice. I understood that she wanted me to be closer to Killian because he was my mate, but I didn't want to. “I don't care if he is in pain, Kyla. That isn't what makes him genuine, you know?” I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. “Come on, Elora, we both know how muc
Elora's POV.“Alpha Killian?” I muttered, recognizing his voice from where I stood. I walked closer to the exit door, and peeking through the tiny opening, I found him speaking to Beta Dayton. “What about your Luna?” Dayton questioned him, and I couldn't help but sense nothing but anger in Alpha Killian's voice. “For now, let's just say I don't have a Luna, just a mate!” He clarified, and immediately I felt a pang in my heart, making me clutch my chest instantly. “What's this pain?” I mumbled as my brows creased. It felt as though I was being rejected by Alpha Killian. “You need to make him know that you are sorry and would go with him, Elora. Come on, do it now!” Kyla urged me, and for the first time, I felt the need to do so. My hand reached for the door like someone was compelling me, like Kyla had taken over me and wouldn't resign. As I was going to pull the door open, Chief Grayson's voice sounded from behind.“If you want to speak to him, why don't you just go ahead and do
