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
Elora's POV. As I regained consciousness, I was welcomed with a stinging sensation in my head, making me clench my eyes tightly.I slowly opened my eyes, and I realised that I wasn't in my father's tomb anymore, nor was I in my room or the pack. I was in a dark space that I couldn't see anything in. I couldn't see a single person in it either. I was all alone, and it made me terrified for a split second. “Where is this place?” I whispered beneath my breath as I looked around the place, trying to see if I could get a resemblance to the place for a moment, but it was impossible.Just as I was still looking around the place, I felt the stinging sensation again, making me clutch my head. “Ahh! I guess the Wolfbane is still affecting me!” I said under my breaths as I blamed the Wolfbane incident for what was happening. I stood up to my feet, trying to get myself out of the place and at least get back home or find my way home, but unfortunately, I heard footsteps walking into the place
Elora’s POV.Thinking about it, if Killian wanted me dead, he wouldn't want anyone to find me, but seeing that Bryce did so really dumbstruck me, and I couldn't help but ask. “How did you find me, Bryce?” I questioned him, and immediately, I could see the fright that was written all over his face. I wasn't sure why he was shocked, but one thing I knew was that it was impossible for anyone at all to find me on the pack's borders. The Blackwood pack and the Ocean pack were two packs that would never agree or progress together. “Well… I … I noticed that they were searching for you, so I had to find you myself.” He explained briefly, making me have doubts. “That doesn't tell why you could find me here, Bryce... How did you know I was at the pack’s border?" I raised a question again, my gaze steadily fixed on him as I awaited a response from him. “Come on, Elora... What's going on in your head?” Bryce asked as he crouched down to where I was sitting on the ground. “You don't think I
