CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX ELARA"I don't want to do this with you now, Elara," River said and walked back to his wardrobe. My eyes went wherever he went. I watched him take off his jacket and hang it on the wardrobe door. He walked back to me and pecked my forehead. Even though I tilted my head backward to avoid getting pecked by him, he still succeeded."I will see you some other time," he said and walked away. For a second, I regretted bugging him. Maybe he wouldn't have left me all alone in this room again.I rebuked the thought immediately. River was the one who was wrong and not me. I rolled my eyes and sank in my bed. The rest of the day was a complete waste. I refused my dinner and decided to go to bed on an empty stomach. I had just covered myself with the sheet and was about to go into my dream world when River walked in. I pretended that I didn't see him. He didn't say a word to me either. He just went straight to bed. The next morning, when I woke up, he was already getting d
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVENRIVERI let out a deep sigh immediately when Elara walked out of the room. Harrison turned to me with a questioning glance. He must have noticed what went on between Elara and me. "What was all that for?" He asked me. "She has been asking too many questions lately. Questions that I can not give answers to."Harrison shook his head in confusion. "What kind of questions do you not have answers to?" He asked, with a furrowed brow."She found the box and became agitated. He has been asking me since then what is inside the box," I explained to Harrison. "What? How did she find the box?" He asked me. I was already feeling overwhelmed. I sighed deeply and rested both hands on my waist. Harrison was staring at me expectantly. "I do not have an idea either, " I told him. I wasn't sure how Elara got to lay hand on the box. I didn't know what made her decide to go through my things either. I knew that I had placed the box at the bottom of my wardrobe. I never expected
CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT ELARAI was in a daze as I stared at River without saying a word. I never knew that River had a mate. He never mentioned it to anyone. I thought it was the right time to talk to him about financial records. But on a second thought, I decided against it. We should take it one thing after another. I kept staring at River without saying a word to him. He smiled and patted my shoulder. "Don't get yourself worked up, dear," he told me. "I still have you."I narrowed my eyes at him and furrowed my brow. What did he mean by he still had me? The statement was amazing. I wondered what he meant by that. I was about to ask what he meant by that, but he stood up, patted my shoulder, and walked out of the room. I sat there for a while, completely lost in my thoughts. I was still trying to process everything. It was just too hard to believe. I shook my head and decided to shove everything aside. I still had too many things to do. My revenge plans and finding the culprit.
CHAPTER FIFTY NINELISAI stood at the spot staring at Elara's retreating figure with a scow on my face. She's such an idiot. I would make sure that I deal mercilessly with her. I gritted my teeth as I watched her leaving. She soon disappeared into the mansion. I hissed loudly and turned around to leave. When I got outside the mansion, I saw Darren's car parked by the other end of the road. I crossed over and went to meet him. He opened the door for me to get in. I climbed into the car and he closed the door. "I am so glad you agreed to meet me," he said with a smile on his face. I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. "I thought that you would be...""What do you want, Darren?" I snapped at him. "Why did you call me here?""Calm down, okay?" He said. I adjusted on my seat and kept my gaze fixed outside the car. The glasses were tinted, but I still needed to be careful. "I want us to go out on a date," Darren said.I turned to him and scoffed. He was still wearing a smile on
CHAPTER SIXTY ~BLACK_BLOOD PACK~EDWINI was going through some documents in my office. A few things seemed to be going wrong, but I couldn't place a finger on what it was. Alpha Adrian of the Black Moon pack had sent in a few goods the previous week, but I couldn't find the record on my system. I had personally recorded the goods, so someone must have tampered with my record and deleted them.I picked up my phone and made a call to Alpha Adrian. He didn't pick up until the call disconnected. I sighed and tried again. His line was busy when I called again. "Damn it!!" I cursed as I dropped the phone on the table. Immediately I dropped the phone, it beeped. I picked it up anxiously, expecting a message from Alpha Adrian. I picked up my phone and unlocked it to see a message from an unknown number. I quickly dropped the phone when I saw the message. I widened my eyes and dropped my phone. I wiped my eyes and stared at the message again. I wondered who was messing with me this way.
CHAPTER SIXTY ONERIVER I was seated in my office with my hands placed on my jaw. I was contemplating a lot of things when I heard a soft knock on the door. I lifted my head to look at the door, and it opened gently.Harrison walked into the office and greeted me. "The meeting with the council is about to start," he informed me. "The elders in the council are already gathered at the throne room.""I'll be right behind you," I told him. He began walking out of the office while I walked behind him. When we got to the throne room, it was already filled up by the elders. I took my seat as the meeting was already about to start. "Welcome, alpha Ethan, " the elders greeted me. "Greetings to you all," I responded. The meeting soon started. With the eldest among other elders leading the meeting. "Why does it seem as though no one has seen the construction of the black blood pack?" The eldest among the elders asked. "They trespassed into our property, and no one is saying anything abo
CHAPTER SIXTY-TWOLISA I and Ella walk out of the room together. After we are done helping with choosing a few things for the birthday. As we strolled towards our room, Ella began to speak evil about Elara. "I've always hated her from the first time I set eyes on her. I always knew she was up to no good," she said and let out a long hiss. "You bother so much about that imp," I said and hissed. "Elara is someone that would be gone before you even blink your eyes.""I hope that you will do something about her quickly. I want her out of my life and out of my brother's life."A smirk appeared on my face as she spoke the words with so much bitterness in her voice. Even her face reeked of bitterness and hatred for Elara. It was hard to tell if Ella hated Elara more, or if I did. We continued towards the room as Ella continued to complain bitterly about Elara. "You don't have to bother yourself so much about that woman. She would be history soon," I paused and grinned to the corner of m
CHAPTER SIXTY-THREEELARA"Your make-up is done ma," my make-up artist informed me. I smiled as I stood up from my chair. I faced the standing mirror with a smile on my face. The way my makeup artist styled my hair and packed it. It made me look very beautiful. I even found it difficult to believe that I was the one in front of the mirror. I looked so beautiful in my hairstyle and makeup. I was smiling broadly in front of the mirror when the door opened. I looked towards the door and saw River walking into the room. River paused by the door, staring at me with his eyes and mouth wide open. I smiled even more, feeling a bit flushed. "You look so beautiful!" He complimented. I couldn't help it. My cheeks flushed red immediately when he said the compliment. He walked towards me and stretched his arm towards me. I locked mine with him, and we proceeded out of the room. I and River walked together to the party hall, our arms still locked tightly together. Immediately when we entered
