Devlin POVStaring at Lucian, I was trying hard to hold myself from lunging at him once more and slamming him right on the floor to shut his mouth up but doing so would worsen the situation.After what I had done to Mike, Rose, and Rebecca, doing something more would paint me as a bad image to the others. Already I could sense their fears in the air not long ago, but now it seemed to be replaced with something else.Lucian had won their support. Even though he was right, it wasn’t supposed to come from him. I was the Alpha. I was supposed to make the rule and anything I said here was the law, yet he had to come up and wreck this up for me.I felt infuriated and my wolf was begging to come outside so he could shut them up and make Lucian know his place. But then I shoved him off to look at Elora, who I clung to my chest possessively.“You have to…” I started but couldn’t finish after seeing the look of fear emerge in her eyes. Instantly I could tell she didn’t know what happened to her
Devlin POVWe walked back into the pack house and all along my hand was wrapped around her waist and she didn’t say anything. From time to time, I checked her face to see how red it had become, and it tempted me to tease her more.She was such a beauty and I couldn’t even think of getting my eyes away from her even for a second.“I want her!” My wolf grumbled in my head as he tried to force himself out, but I didn’t let him. I wouldn’t want to mess up this opportunity that I have got just because of his urges. If I was able to control mine, then he should be able to bring his own under control too.“Do you think I will be able to shift?” She finally said after a long while of silence and I snapped back to my senses.“Huh? You don’t have to worry much about it. Take your time. I can see you are not certain about having a wolf.” I smiled.“I have to prove to them that…” She paused, as though she was trying to think her words through.It was hard on her. I could see right into her and sm
Elora POV“I see you have been by the door all this while.” I raised my head to look at Sarah, who just walked in. After Devlin left, I couldn’t bring myself to sleep, no matter how hard I pressed my eyes close. It wasn’t just coming.I kept thinking about the kiss and how his hands felt on my body. Little did I know that it would have such an effect on me until now. I kept tossing around until she walked in, and now I had to stay calm to hide the feeling.“And I see you can't sleep.” She smiled at me, walking closer and sitting right beside the bed. “Why is his scent all of you?” She asked again, sniffing around the air around me and I felt tense.My toes curled as I flushed hard and tried burying myself under the sheet to hide myself from the embarrassment I was feeling, but that didn’t work.“Don’t hide from me. Something happened here, right?” She grinned and dragged the sheet away from my body to herself.“It’s nothing. He just kissed me.” I flushed as I quickly wrapped my hand a
Elora POV“Yes, he killed his father on the first full moon while his mother ran away out of fear without leaving any traces behind. Until today, there hasn’t been any news from her.” She explained.I didn’t know how to react or what to say anymore. His parents were wrong but yet, they were his parents. I never expected to hear he killed his father. Well, after all the torture he gave to his son, he deserved what he got.All that didn’t matter to me, but the fact that they had made Devlin become something he wasn’t supposed to be. He had become a heartless Alpha and given by how he broke those warrior's ankles as a way of torturing them was very dark and horrific.I cringed at the sight of that, and it made me feel I was the one undergoing such kind of torture.“I hope you won’t run away!” She said, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked at her and saw something else. She was scared that I would want to leave.Honestly, I wanted to, but after hearing all that, part of me wanted to st
Devlin POVMy heart skipped a beat right after I heard those words from the door. The voice sounded so familiar, and it was of the person I would rather not see. The same person I was talking with over the phone, and for some reason, she seemed to have appeared before me.Elora was also frozen as she pulled off the hug and looked towards the door. Her expression wasn’t certain yet, so I couldn’t tell what was going on in that head of hers.“Ain’t you going to answer me?”The voice said again and shortly after, a lanky leg pushed forward into the room taking every attention as it was white, delicate, and mind-blowing. Just her exposed thighs would leave anyone drooling, not to talk of her full body.“Danica?” I scoffed, pushing my hair backward as I forced myself out of that awe I was stuck in. “What are you doing here?”My brows fumbled as I sparked.She wasn’t supposed to be here as it would wreck things up for me and knowing her, she was here for more trouble. I couldn’t believe after
Elora's POVIt felt like a thousand needles were piercing into my heart. I suddenly couldn’t breathe even as I tried hard to sniff air into my lungs. It was just too impossible for me due to how heavy those words felt on my chest.“A slut? A detestable someone?” The words repeated in my head severally, and the tears I was trying to hold off rolled down my cheeks.My fingers fisted to the side in anger, but all I could do was walk back to my room to drown in my sorrows. When I heard about Devlin no one told me he had a girlfriend.That wasn’t mentioned at all, and now I was hearing this right when I wanted to give him a chance. Was this supposed to be a prank or what as my head couldn’t accept it all.When I got to my room, I didn’t open the door but bashed it open, and right after I slammed the door. Anger and pain were cursing through my veins and the only way to get it out would be when that woman would be thrown out of the pack and maybe all these things would be a mistake.That was
Elora's POVI jerked, looking like my bones would run out of my skin. The alarming sound vibrated my whole system as it came unexpectedly and looking towards it, I found Danica staring at me with disgust in her eyes.It felt like she was the predator while I was the prey. Her heated gaze could burn me up and the more she walked in, the more I shifted backward in fear.“I see, you are in this nice-looking room looking settled when you know your spot is quite temporary. Why do you feel at home when I am here now?” She said to me with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, while all I could do was stare at her.“You know, this place used to be my room before I left and Devlin had to give it to you. Damn, did he think you could replace me?” She kept running her mouth while sweeping her eyes all over the place.Fear was still clinging to me. I could tell she was a violent type and even though she was pregnant she had quite an attitude for someone who was carrying another life inside her.“Wha…t do
Elora's POVHe stared at me for a while, seemingly as though he was trying to find meaning in what I just said, then he looked down at Danica.“What are you doing in her room in the first place?” He asked.“Are you supposed to be asking me that?” She forced herself back on her feet, staring at him in disgust. “I came here to apologize for all the hurtful words I said. Shouldn’t that be the right thing?” She added.“What? You came here to chase me out instead, so stop lying or pretending like you are some good person here!” I chirped in quickly after being surprised at how fast she was able to divert my accusation to paint herself in a good picture.“Stop saying gibberish words to save yourself from what you did. You attacked me just now, and Devlin himself saw it!” She retorted.“That’s because—““That’s enough!” Devlin shut me off as he gave her a helping hand, leading her out of the room. Before she left, she gave me a wink while I snorted in anger.Was he failing to see this part of
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
