Elora's POV My heart kept pounding heavily with each step we took to the stage. There were two thrones seated in the middle. I never wished I would ever get to sit on one. Though I hoped it would be by Ario's side, not this wolf who was clinging to my hand and smiling at the crowd as though I were his. For now, I had to put on the act knowing it wouldn't last long. By tomorrow I should be off from this pack and heading somewhere else. At least I would get to live a normal life rather than being here only to be painted as the enemy. Devlin extended my hand to the front, so I could sit on the throne. His hand softly caressed mine before he moved to his throne right next to me to sit. Then he parted his lips to address the crowd. “I am so glad that so many of you had the chance to come here to witness such a good occasion. As you know,” He stood up searching the crowd, looking for someone, and soon after a middle-aged man stood up from his seat. “Alpha Lucian,” he called again,
Devlin POV The news I heard from Daniel wasn't something I was expecting. At least not today yet it had to happen. I was holding a banquet yet something had to come up to spoil it for me. “Are you sure about what you told me?” I asked Daniel again to be sure as we made our way out of the pack house. “Yes, Alpha. I am very sure about what I heard. The border patrol warned me, so I had to come get you.” He replied. Giving it a thought, I had to agree, since there has never been a false alarm. They wouldn't even dare to tease me with such an act, as I wasn't the kind of person to be toyed with. Never! “Be fast. Let's head to the border at once.” I said quickly so I wouldn't make a scene and get noticed by the guests who were in the grand hall. It might seem rather disturbing to them affecting our partnership. In no time, we arrived at the border. The place was pitch black but in the face of my raging eyes, it seemed clearly like the day. We kept looking around hoping to find s
Devlin POVThe rogues, upon hearing orders from their leader, jumped immediately, trapping us in a circle. Their eyes held nothing but hostility and disgust. I could see their necks snapping showing they wanted to bring out their wolves to go all out.Daniel, who was beside me, was already excited to get on with the fight, but I could also smell fear in him. Against this number, it might be a tough feat for him, but to me, I would barely break a sweat.“I'll take care of them, you can go warn the pack that we are under attack,” I said to him over the mind link while he gave me a disapproving stare.“We can take care of them together, then go back to the pack. After what these rogues said I can't allow you alone to fight them. They might have some plan up their sleeve so it's dangerous.” He replied out of fear and anger.I understood his point very well. That had been in my head long before he uttered it, but the case here was that his presence would hinder me from going all out.“Just
Elora's POVMy head became stuck. I couldn't bring it to turn towards the presence I was feeling from the side. The voice sounded so recognizable. I could swear I knew whose voice it was, but my heart kept thumping and praying it wouldn't be him.“Look at me, Elora!” The voice called out to me again fiercely, and my body couldn't resist as I subconsciously turned to face him. My mouth dropped in awe at first but shortly after, it slammed close while my face squeezed in anger.“Alpha Lucian? Why are you talking to me like we have known each other from somewhere before?” I creased my brow at him while he kept staring at me blankly. Then his hand moved to his neck and he peeled his face off revealing a different face and I turned pale.I felt something drop in my chest as my eyes opened wide. My body began to shiver in fright, trying to get away.“Kace?” I gasped in shock, trying so hard not to believe my eyes. They had to be playing tricks on me, else why would I be seeing my first mat
Daniel POVI was overwhelmed, having to leave Delvin over there to fight those rogues himself. As much as I was confident in his skills and power, I couldn't help but harbor fear since these days there had been many surprises.Bang!I kicked the door into the hall so arrogantly that everyone became so startled. They were shocked, but I didn't have an opportunity to explain my actions as my eyes were so fixed on finding Lucian since he was the only important figure there. The others were members of the pack, while some were his and some from some neighboring packs.Unfortunately, after searching I still couldn't find him, so I advanced further. Some warriors quickly reached out to me sensing something was wrong and I gave them an order.“Seal the doors, no one gets in or out of the pack house,” I ordered and without further questions, they jumped into action. I kept on searching until I caught a whiff of something, I saw two figures standing close to Elora, staring at me.Walking towar
Elora's POVSeated in my room, all I could do was shiver in fear like a cornered bug to be stepped on. I couldn’t do anything in the face of those people I hated for a long time. I wasn’t even a thing to be feared. Right in their eyes I could still see it clearly - how they see me like nothing but just a weakling.Avalon had changed the most. She now had battle scars on her face proving how ferocious she had become. I could easily guess that I would lose in a battle with her. Damn it! Was it that I would never get a wolf or was this a way the moon goddess wanted to punish me? What wrong had I committed without even knowing I did?I could hear screams of agony coming from outside signifying there was an attack and the warriors were busy fighting to save themselves, their families, and their friends, yet I was inside here, locked in a room scared for my life.I was supposed to prove to them that I could be their Luna, even though they hated me at least I should be doing something to ear
Elora POV “Danica?” I uttered in shock seeing who just appeared in my front. She had a look of disgust on her face as she stared at Sarah, who was lying on the floor without offering to get the door off her body. I cringed at the sight and ignored her words to get the door off Sarah, but she dragged me off. “I said leave her alone! Does your ear hurt so bad that you have turned deaf?” She slammed at me, pointing fingers. “I should leave Sarah alone? Don’t you care what happens to her? Have you no regard for her life or what?” I yelled. “Why should I?” She retorted while I took my time to scan the place, only for me to realize she was the one who plummeted the door open. Since it was locked earlier from the inside, and she wanted to get in, rather than knocking she resulted in using force and, now that had caused someone injured. “Why will you break the door?” I stood up on my feet, staring daggers at her. “She’s going to be a hindrance, so I need her out of the picture. Com
Elora's POVThat had slipped my mind. I shouldn’t have responded to them, but somehow I let my emotions get the best of me. Looking back at them, after they heard what Danica said, they stood with high shoulders while giving me side looks.“Seems she had forgotten. Good of you to remind her but that doesn't mean I will help her.” Mike said looking uninterested and was about to walk away. Rebecca also snorted before joining him when I spoke quickly.“Please! Help me, help you. If I am gone from this place you won’t have to bother about me any longer.” I said, but they gave me cold stares.“Tell me, why shouldn’t I just fight you off right here and now and kill you off?” Mike tilted his head to the side, sending shivers down my spine. “When the Alpha asks I can just tell him you were defenseless against the rogues so they killed you.” He added making me feel like a knot tightened in my chest.“That will be a good idea. I can pay her for the hurtful words she said to me not long ago.” Re
Delvin's POVIt was a few hours now that I had killed mother for being deceitful and wicked. While I sat across the bench, different thoughts invaded my mind and I started reasoning all she had said to me. If she could be this wicked, then she certainly must have lied about everything else she advised me against. I rushed at the doctor and as I got into his room, he shook terribly and tried to run away from the room but I slammed the door shut and held a knife to his throat. He sighed carefully, trying to ask what he did wrong but I rather asked him. "What didn't you do wrong you fool?!" I questioned him, ensuring the knife gets closer to his neck so he would confess on time. "I...I truly..." He said and then kept quiet. I kicked him on the legs and he fell to the ground. Without hesitation, I stabbed him in the legs and he groaned painfully. "I would do that again if you don't tell me the fucking truth now!!" I screamed at him. It seemed like he had been informed that my mother h
Delvin's POVIt was as though someone was manipulating her to speak up her mind. It was as though her cunning abilities and whatever magic she was using, had failed her. I chuckled as she came close but I made Elora stay behind me, so nothing bad would happen to her. Judging from her dark expressions, I was already getting scared of her but I patiently waited for all she would say. "So i came to your pack to get this healer wolf but I couldn't! That's why I came to your pack!!" She laughed at me like though she had successfully fooled me. Elora was quietly speaking behind for me to be quiet and not say anything yet no matter how I'm triggered to say it. "We wouldn't listen to her well now. Remember that you need to confirm from two sides about what's happening. Listen to her words and realize who you have brought into the pack. Didn't I tell you she was coming to cause chaos?" She said and at the end of her words, I silenced her, telling her we shouldn't assume anything. Deep down
Delvin's POVI stared around and counted the rogues. Elora stood right behind me as well as we watched the rogues. I tried to study their intention and luckily, I knew about it immediately. They were literally trying to take Elora away from me. While I haven't even verified that yet, one of them walked towards me to declare their intention and then they would leave. "Release Elora to us and let us go." He said to me. I wasn't particularly sure if he was speaking in English or perhaps his words were a bit muffled. Or his English accent wasn't clear enough. It wasn't coherent to the ears. "I should release Elora to you? That'll be the last thing that'll happen. Come take her and let me see!" I screamed at him, but he cautioned his men not to fight yet and then he turned towards me like though he was about to give me some last warning. "We can take both you and your pack down within a few seconds and everything will be ruined. Why not consider our request and save yourself?""I'm not
Delvin's POVI felt hurt after realizing that my suspicions towards my mom could be actually true. She could have threatened to kill Sarah indeed but for trying to sit on the fence and not revealing the total truth, I felt bad. She's like a mother figure to me and so she shouldn't be hiding anything from me. As long as someone has falsified the truth, it would be truly hard to believe the person again.I took a deep breath and sat on the bed and then Daniel stepped forwards and stood in front of me, trying to console me about all that happened. "I think you should be more calm at this moment. I really understand how you're feeling and about Sarah? I don't think you should have chased her out like that. She confessed the truth about being threatened and that's why she lied to you. Now that the mother isn't around, she could say the truth." Daniel said to me and I held my head with my two palms, trying to regain sanity. I was already feeling mad by all what was going on. "I think we h
Delvin's POVI saw everything that happened. I saw a knife in Elora's hands. She literally wanyed to stab my mother. Because she was only telling the truth, she was trying to kill her. How dare hee. I felt a wave of hurt and betrayal wash through me as I moved towards her. A single tear didn't drop from my eyes but deep down within me, I was shaking with tears. How would she do this? She has actually committed a lot of stuff for me to believe anything anyone said to her. Pulling her but her neck, Ioged her towards her room and flung her there. She wouldn't cause more havoc in the pack in my presence. If everything that had been happening was actually narrated to me, then I would doubt it as I didn't earlier think she could do this. She was about explaining how it all happened but I placed a finger on my lips and locked her up in the room. What was she trying to say? She was definitely trying to justify her actions when I caught her red handed. She had just tried to kill the mother
Elora's POVI was walking across the hallway, passing by some rooms to cool music head because of the many things that has troubled me recently, and then I heard someone moaning somewhere not far from where I stood. I traced the sound till I got to this particular room, more like a guest room. Not everyone can go in there. It has to be Delvin or someone who is in some high rank in the pack. I checked through the windows that weren't properly closed as I saw how Delvin was spanking denica and she was moaning delightfully.I waited there for up to half an hour to confirm what I was seeing. They changed positions, and I was able to see their faces clearly. It was as though delvin had sighted me, I had no other thought than to go visit Olivia again. She was the best and literally the only person that was going to listen to me at this point. I took a deep breath and ran towards her place, trying not to reveal my emotions through my face. As I got in there, she pulled me into a firm hug
Delvin's POVI began to feel bad and awful that I had kept my mother hanging all this while. She had purposely told me that Elora was barren but I didn't believe it. It was next to test Danica, but I'm not more certain than probable that she might be pregnant for me. I started to reason with her now, as I felt a move to go apologize to her for retorting boldly like though I knew more than she did. "Since Danica was going to give me a child, shouldn't I start caring for her instead?" I asked myself as I stood inside my room and then the memories of all the times I was caring for Elora and even saved her from the hands of Kace, retuned to my head and I took a deep sigh. I should have been doing this for Elora ever since. And then my mother walked in. I knew she wasn't specifically angry at me since she knew I was a leader and I should have my point as well. I knew she would be glad as well that I took her suggestions seriously and carried out the test. She stared at me as I was moody
Elora's POVMy heart was thumping fast as I narrowed my gaze at the doctor, pleading with him to check it again. "Please run the tests again. This can't be so!! Please!" I screamed at him, tears pricking around the corners of my eyes. I understood the implication of being barren and especially when you wouldn't tell the man you're mated to, about it.."Do you mean my machine is full of error? Hey woman, my machine didn't lie. You're barren. What that means is you can't bear any children till your last breath." He said, explaining the nitty-gritty of the concept. I heaved a deep sigh and tried to get up to grab his legs and beg him to do so, not minding if he would request extra payment for his service. "Mr. Doctor, you can be on your way. Running the tests again isn't going to change anything. Please be on your way. It's not necessary. She's barren and I'm glad we both know that now. Hanging in the air ain't no joke." Delvin said and the doctor bowed his head, before he walked out o
Elora's POVI eventually decided to visit Olivia as I didn't have another place to go. She was my only friend in the pack and I trusted my secrets with her. She would listen to me and advise me like a mother. "She doesn't like me. I am telling you. If I'm sugarcoating my words, may the moon goddess strike me. She doesn't like me one bit." I complained bitterly to her, but she was only sighing, patiently waiting for me to complete my words before she would advise me based on what I've said."I didn't even know how she came to the pack. It was just an afternoon when Delvin was busy with me. He came to summon me to come meet his mother and I never insulted her until she raised her voice at me, calling me names. What exactly did I wrong? I can't point to anything bad I've done. Should I narrate everything that happened and then you judge who is right and who is wrong?" I said to her, laying myself in bed as I was even too tired to sit up in bed and tell h e about everything."I understan
