Killian's POV.The ride back to the pack was filled with nothing more than silence and tension in the car. I would have felt good if Elora had returned with me to the pack, but at this point, the only thing I could think about was Dayton.The fact that I had found him crying made me feel bad. I made him that way; I made him act weak for the first time.I knew that Dayton liked and cared about me, but one thing I didn't expect was to find him loving me.My fist clenched as I kept staring at him while he drove. If I had listened to him or at least included him as I was heading to the pack, then maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't be sad. Maybe I would have gotten Elora to myself; maybe I wouldn't have collapsed before everyone in the pack."You know, if you keep staring at me that way, I might end up losing control of the wheels, Alpha Killian!" Dayton notified as he glanced at me from the rearview mirror.He had noticed me watching and stealing glances at him. Well, that was all I could do
Killian's POVWith my hand lifted in the air, ready to strike, ready to slash Scarlet who had dared come into my room without my permission, Dayton suddenly appeared right before me, blocking my hit from getting to Scarlet but even worse, taking the slash for her.“Leave right now, Scarlet!” he commanded with a deep voice.At this point, my thoughts and attention weren't fixed on Scarlet anymore, they were fixed on him, they were focused on Dayton who had his hand bleeding because of me.“What the hell do you think you are doing? What the fuck have you done to yourself?” My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him.“I'm sorry, Alpha Killian, but I just couldn't let you hurt her. She was sent by Edmond and any little mistake could cause harm and havoc. I…” he was going to say, but before he could finish his statement, I cut in, my rage evident in my tone as my jaw clenched.“Because of that brat, you have caused harm to yourself, Dayton! Why in the world would you do that?” My eyes tre
Elora's POVOpening my eyes to the dawn of a new day, I was expected to be happy, to have a smile on my lips at least, but guess what? I was welcomed back to reality and a new day with a frown on my face and, even worse, anger.I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened at the park the day before. I wished I had gone with Alpha Killian. Actually, my inner wolf Kyla had wished I went with him, but another part of me rebelled against it.I was filled with mixed emotions, confusion that I couldn't help, couldn't control.“Another day to remind myself how miserable I am… another day to remind myself that I am nothing but a useless Alpha and Luna!” I sighed as I lay still in my bed, my eyes fixed right on the ceiling above me.I was still at Bryce's house, and I wasn't sure how to react most of the time.“I think it's best you act rather than keep regretting!” Kyla, who had woken up, stated, making me roll my eyes.One thing was certain: she had obviously shown up to mock me. Other w
Elora's POVI was about to walk out of the place where Beta Dayton had called me when his next words halted me dead in my tracks, not letting me move an inch.“Alpha Killian is suffering so much, Luna Elora, and trust me when I say he needs you!” he declared, my brows furrowing as I turned to look at him where he stood.“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, trying to clarify the words he had let out to me.“I think you should come take a seat, Luna… I'll be able to explain properly if you do!” he stated, making me pause for a split second.I really wanted to know details about Alpha Killian, but on the other hand, I didn't want it to look like I was missing him. I was trying to keep my pride a bit.“If you won't tell me, then I'll leave!” I threatened, expecting Beta Dayton to ignore me and leave, but to my shock, he walked over to where I stood, and with a soft gaze fixed on me, he reached for my arm.“Please, Luna Elora… listen to me for thirty minutes at least!” he begged, maki
Elora's POV“I will…” Just as I was about to reveal that I was going to return to the Blackwood pack with Beta Dayton, a strong grip held me from behind, pulling my attention immediately.Turning around with a jolt and shock, I found Bryce standing right behind me, his grip around my wrist tightening more with each second.“You shouldn't force your Luna into doing something she isn't comfortable with, Beta Dayton!” Bryce snarled as he glared at Dayton, who stood before me.I wasn't sure of a word to say at this moment, but one thing was certain: Bryce wasn't going to let me make any decision that would lead to me going back to the Blackwood pack.“I'm sorry, Luna, if I pushed you into doing something you didn't want to do… I didn't mean to!” Dayton apologized softly as he let go of my hand.“Good boy… now, why don't you leave?” Bryce declared, making me snap my gaze towards him in shock.“What?” I exclaimed, my eyes squinting in disbelief as I stared at him.“His time has elapsed. It
Elora's POV:“You know pretty well that you can't hide forever, right? You need to go out there and see him… he is obviously dying of guilt right now!” Kyla stated, trying to urge me into speaking to Bryce again. But that wasn't going to happen. That was never going to happen.I had made a statement, a conclusion that I was going to keep. I couldn't let my guard down, not now, not ever. He had provoked me, and he was going to pay the price for doing so. I wasn't going to have pity on him. Never.“Just let it be, Kyla… you have no say in this situation!” I scoffed as I folded my arms across my chest. I was sitting up on my bed, and my gaze remained fixed on the door in front of me.“Fine, if you say so!” She snorted before she kept silent.I wasn't sure at this point what I was going to do because, trust me, I was starving, and from what I noticed, Bryce was in the living room. I needed to eat, but because of my pride, I was trying my best to endure it, to keep it in.“I'm never going
Elora's POV“I'll regret it? What a joke!” My fist clenched as I sat down patiently in the cab I had stopped a few minutes ago.It was going to take me back to the Blackwood pack, and nothing was going to stop me from getting to my destination.Except for the fact that Bryce's statement kept making me angry. It kept coming back to me, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it out of my head.He was lying. He just didn't want me to go back to Alpha Killian. He just didn't want me to be with Alpha Killian, and I was sure of it.“You will be the one to regret, Bryce, not me!” I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest as I spoke.I wished to look him right in the eyes and tell him what was on my mind, but I just couldn't.“Stay calm, Elora… it doesn't matter anymore!” I muttered to myself as I turned my gaze out of the window. I wound the window of the car down, letting the cool air hit my face as we made our entrance into the Blackwood pack.After what felt like an eternity
Elora's POV.“He didn't tell you? Well, I am the new Luna of the Blackwood pack, and as it stands, you are expected to show your respect to me, Ex Luna, Elora!” she uttered through her gritted teeth as she glared at me.“Bow to me!” she commanded, making me scoff, the tears in my eyes beginning to trickle down.“What?” I exclaimed again as I stared at her in disbelief. What gave her the right to speak to me in that manner?Alpha Killian caused it all. He took her in and made her his Luna.“Scarlet, that is enough! Mind your words!” Alpha Killian commanded with a deep voice, the anger he felt evident in his tone.“And what if I don't? It's not like she is above me!” Scarlet declared, and just then, Alpha Killian didn't hesitate to walk closer to her.He grabbed her hand and pulled her away from me.“Elora, I am sorry for the confusion… we should sit down and…” he began, but I couldn't let him finish. I was filled with bitterness and betrayal.“No, Killian… we have nothing to talk about
