Killian's POV“Repeat what you just said, Bryce!” I confronted him, my fist clenched as I glared into his eyes.For a second, I wished he wouldn't say a single word, I wished he would shy away, but Bryce was just too tempting. It was certain he was willing to get into trouble.But guess what? I wasn't scared of getting into any trouble with him either.“You heard me right, Killian!” He walked closer to my face, his silly lips pronouncing my name without fear. “You will never be wanted by Elora!”I couldn't hold back the rage that I felt at this moment.Without hesitation, I punched him in the face, not caring how hard it was. Everyone who was shocked let out a gasp as they saw Bryce fall hard to the ground.“Alpha Killian, stop it, please!” Elora rushed towards me, holding my hand, trying to pull me back, trying to pull me away from Bryce.It was certain that Bryce could provoke me again, and I wouldn't hesitate to hit him harder than I already had.“Luna Elora, it's time to leave!” B
Killian's POV.“Are you kidding me right now, Elora? I should be the furious one here and not you! I should be the one asking the questions, Elora, and not you!” I declared, my eyes squinting in confusion.“And what questions do you have for me, Alpha Killian?” She mocked, folding her arms across her chest defiantly.At this moment, it dawned on me: no matter what, Bryce was right. She would never love me, even if we had sex.“You love him, don't you?” I probed, her eyes widening immediately upon hearing my question.“What? How could you suggest such a thing?” She snapped, her eyes still wide open.“Why wouldn't I when you left the mansion to go meet some man? You had me by your side, and...” I was going to keep talking, but she cut in swiftly.“By my side?” She scoffed, darting her eyes to the right before turning back to look at me. “You were never by my side, Killian, and no matter what, you have no right to ask if I love Bryce! He is just my best friend, and you think I want to h
Killian's POV.My fist clenched as I walked over to the door. Without waiting for her to say a single word, I stormed out of the room and headed for the mansion's exit. I needed to get as far away from her as possible.I knew she would be broken or sad, but at this point, I just didn't care. How could I, when she saw someone else as better than me?She found Bryce more comforting than me, her mate. The thought of it sent fury raging through my veins.Every single second of the day echoed nothing but my failure to have my Luna to myself.Getting out of the mansion, I walked over to the field to clear my head, to get my thoughts in order. I just couldn't believe what had happened because of Elora's carelessness.I shut my eyes immediately and, with my face turned to the sky, tried my best to stifle the rage that I felt, to hold it in.“You shouldn't have come here if you know that this is how you'd be…” I muttered as I opened my eyes slowly, bringing me back to reality.Just as I was st
Killian's POV“She will never love you, Alpha Killian! Stop trying to make her do so!” Stella snarled. My fist clenched tightly as I recalled one thing: Bryce had made the same statement at the pack's garden.Without a second delay, I turned to Stella. Because she had provoked me, I didn't hesitate to charge towards her and grab her neck tightly, feeling like I could rip her throat out.“You will kill your own step sister just because of her?” She thumped on my hand countless times, hoping I would stop, but that wasn't going to happen until I made her understand that keeping quiet was the best discipline an omega like her must have.“Alpha Killian, stop it, please!” She begged.I pulled her closer to my face, and with my glare fixed in her eyes, a painful smile crossed my lips; not because of what she said but because of what Elora had done. The fact that what they were saying about her not loving me was true.“Don't act stupid when you are with me, Stella. Don’t act like you know it
Killian's POVThe second I pushed the door open, I was met with nothing but silence, as if I wasn't wanted in their presence.Without hesitation, I walked over to the empty seat I found in the hall and sat down, feeling uneasy because of the stares from the other Alphas. I felt like leaving at that moment. ‘Why wouldn't they continue their discussion? Why would they just go silent because I entered the hall?’‘Were they scared of me now?’ I thought inwardly as I looked around, trying to understand their way of processing things.I was about to stand up and leave. It was better to speak to Stella at this moment than sit in the midst of Alphas who didn't want me. But just as I attempted to do so, a voice boomed in the quietness, drawing my attention immediately.“Welcome back, Alpha Killian…”Turning to see who had spoken, I saw Alpha King smiling at me. At least someone was bold enough to speak to me and didn't see me as a disease.“Thank you, Alpha King!” I smiled back at him, still
Elora's POVSitting quietly in the room all alone with my eyes fixed out of the window, I felt nothing but guilt, shame, regret, and pain.If there was anything I didn't want, it was getting embarrassed right before everyone, including Alpha Killian. We were expected to live a peaceful life, a life where no one outside our relationship knew what was going on, but here I was, ruining everything with my silly attitude.Here I was, messing things up just because I felt he wasn't good enough for me and my pack.“I should have just let it out, I should have just told him everything!” I mumbled as I pinched the tip of my nose, trying my best to stifle the frustration gnawing at my insides.“Fuck!” I struck my hand on the table in front of me. There was a strong possibility that it could break if I kept hitting it the way I did. I was just confused and didn't know what to do.“It's high time you start seeing me too as your best friend, Elora!”Alpha Killian's final words to me before he lef
Elora's POVJust as I turned to the door to find who had suddenly entered the room, I was met with none other than Stella. Her smirk instantly turned into a frown at the sight of me standing before her.She was acting as though she was possessed. She shut the door, and before I could speak, Stella walked closer and slapped me hard across the face.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” I snapped, my eyes bulging as I turned to look at her, my hand cradling my cheek to absorb the sting.“What am I doing? What does it look like, Elora? It's a warning to you! Leave him alone, Elora… you'll only end up making his life miserable! You won't bring anything but pain and regret to him!” She stated clearly, her every word tugging at my heartstrings.I felt my heart race rapidly as she warned me. On a normal occasion, Stella had no right to slap me in the face and warn me, but seeing that she did it for Alpha Killian left me speechless.He had a stepsister who would fight for him no matter
Elora's POVLifting my hand to the air, my claws glistening with nothing but rage and fury, I charged towards Stella. She had provoked me enough, and since she wouldn't leave in peace, it was best I gave her some marks on her body.Just as I was going to slash her, the door to the room opened, and walking in was Alpha Killian. The second she caught sight of him, she collapsed to the ground, tears suddenly trickling down her cheeks as she acted like she was being bullied by me.“Help me, Alpha Killian, she wants to kill me!” she cried out. At this moment, my brows furrowed as I turned my attention away from Alpha Killian to look at her.“What?” I exclaimed, trying to understand what game she was trying to play right before the eyes of Alpha Killian and me.“Her claws are out, she's trying to kill me!” she repeated, crying seriously. If anyone was to see her in this situation, they were surely going to believe every word she was saying.“I didn't do anything to you, Stella! Stop acting
