Killian's pov. “Come on, Elora... run and never look back, is that clear?” I warned as I helped Elora leave the room through the window. She was becoming weaker, and I couldn't allow anything to happen to her. I couldn't allow anything to happen to my mate at this point. Although she despised me, she hated me so much, but trust me, she was the only one I had ever had feelings for; she was the only one I wished to save no matter what. Immediately after Elora left the room, she began to run towards the gate, just as I had asked her to. I understood the fact that she wasn't herself, so she was a bit slow, but she never looked back to check up on me. Just as I was about to climb the window and leave the room, to run right behind her and make sure I found out who had caused such chaos in our room, I was halted by the view of a shiny golden necklace on the ground before me. It looked familiar, and there was no way I could ignore the sight of it. I crouched down immediately, and pickin
Killian's POV. “Have you found anything concerning the person who had the wolfbane planted in the roof of the room?” I inquired as I stared at Dayton, who had just walked into the room wearing a black shirt and white pants. If there was anything I wished to know about first, it would be details about the culprit. I needed to snag the person who dared to harm both my mate and me, and as it stood, we both weren't safe staying in the ocean pack; we needed to leave else they would come back to chase us. “We need to find them before they seal their paths!” My fist clenched tightly as I declared, my mind reeling back to the moment when I had pushed Elora out of the room just to save her. I wouldn't want to make such a risky move again.“I'm sorry, Alpha Killian, but we haven't found any trace of the person who did it. I tried my best, but it was too late after Saving you!” Dayton announced openly to me, bowing his head in front of me.“There's no way they would close up their tracks th
Killian's POV. Without hesitation, I walked over to Elora's room, my focus just fixed on seeing her and thanking her for what she had done after she escaped the room. Reaching for the door knob, I pushed the door open, and the second my eyes fell upon her, I couldn't help but see the relief and joy that reflected in her eyes. “Alpha Killian!” She gasped as she dropped the cup in her hand by the side of where she was sitting. She immediately stood up from her chair and rushed towards me. She immediately embraced me, and it made me feel so good and special knowing that she wasn't really that scared of me anymore. At least at this point, I was willing to talk to her about the truth. The truth about her father's death. It was best I told her everything now rather than hide it and suffer it later on if the truth gets exploited. “I was worried about you!” She said softly as she caressed my back gently, her body still in my embrace. As I smiled, my eyes darted to the second person in
Killian's POV.“I'm not going with you, Killian; I'm staying back here, and there's definitely nothing you can do to take me out of my pack!” Elora folded her arms across her chest as she averted her gaze away from me. She meant every word she said to me.“You know, it's funny how you see danger and you don't wish to stave off it!” I let out, trying to still convince her, but I guess her mind was already made up. “Danger?” She scoffed. “The only danger I see right now is leaving the pack, leaving my safe zone just for yours!” She proclaimed before dropping her hands by her sides. Just then, she walked closer to where I was standing, and with a frown etched across her face, she whispered to me, “You can't have my pack, Killian!” She asserted, and immediately, I understood it all. She was still scared that I'd take her pack. Even after saving her at the expense of my life, she believed that I was still the enemy. “So that's what this is all about, Elora? The pack?” I took a deep brea
Elora's POV. “I can't believe that after saving you, you still don't see me as your Alpha and your mate!”Alpha Killian's words pierced through my head countless times, even when he wasn't with me. It felt as though he was standing closer to me. I couldn't get his voice out of my head. It kept haunting me, and it made me worry. I worried about the fact that he had actually left the room feeling down and furious. I wished to stop him before he exited the room, but it wasn't possible, seeing how angry he was before he walked out of the room. “Was I brutal towards him? I should have just said I'd think about it rather than telling him that he'd take over my pack when we were gone!” I let out to myself as I struck my forehead in frustration. From the second he left the room, I had been feeling uncomfortable. Sitting for a few seconds was pretty impossible for me at this point. Just as I was still struggling with my thoughts and trying to get my head together, the door opened, making
Elora's POV. Stella unexpectedly slanted closer to Alpha Killian's face, and without thinking twice, she kissed him on his lips, her tears fading immediately. At this point, I couldn't hold back the rage that was building right inside of me. I couldn't just believe what I was seeing. Alpha Killian, who had a mate, was kissing someone else, and it wasn't me. Immediately, I pushed the door open, and they both jolted, turning towards me, who stood by the door. “What the hell is happening here?” I questioned with a loud voice as I glared at both Killian and Stella, who had a sneer curling up on her lips. It was as though she had tried her best to make me see it. She wished for me to find them kissing each other. I felt so heartbroken and pissed that there was a possibility of me grabbing Stella and killing her without thinking twice. “Elora… What are you doing here?” Alpha Killian asked with his eyes wide open. That was the exact expression I had on my face the second I saw their li
Killian's POV. Opening my eyes gradually, I couldn't help but feel unsettled by the sight that was before me. Elora, my mate was nowhere to be found, and it made me worry for a split second. I suddenly recalled the fact that we had argued before she ran off, but that wasn't supposed to be a good reason for her to leave me all alone in bed and be lost to sight. “Why is she being so dramatic?” I muttered as I stood up from my bed and walked over to the window, my eyes fixed out of it as I waited for her to return. I wasn't going to show it, but I was definitely going to be so excited if she returned to the house. I was longing for her, and I needed her closer to my side. Seconds, minutes, and hours had passed, and yet, Elora was nowhere to be found. I turned to look at the wall clock, and at this point, I was beginning to get extremely worried. “It's really late... Elora isn't someone that stays up late at night... or...” merely then, my heart raced rapidly as the thought came to
Killian's pov “Alpha Killian, what are you…” Stella was going to ask, but the second I stood before her, I didn't hesitate to question her without a second thought. “Where is Elora? Where is my mate?” I raised a question, my fist clenching tightly as I glared into Stella's eyes. The arguments we had earlier on in the bar room made me have the conviction that Stella was behind it all. Plus, she had made a call as I was passing by the room before now. “Elora?” She scoffed, folding her arms across her chest as she stared at me. “I don't...” She was undoubtedly going to lie, but that wasn't going to happen, not when I was intense or when I needed my mate by my side. Elora was one of the good things that has happened to me; although she doesn't trust me right now, I was sure she would with time. I fell so hard for her right from when we were still teenagers, so there was no way I would let her get into danger now that I was with her. Before Stella could finish her lies, I grabbed her
