Elora's POV“Stay back! Don’t you dare come any closer?” I snapped, pointing a finger at him while making sure to keep my distance. The glint in his eyes warned me of how deadly his intent might be, and it sent shivers down my spine.I kept stepping back slowly and was also calculative. It wouldn’t be easy to fend him off so maybe I could use the method I used against Olivia. If I could get him to get so close to me, so I could have a chance to bash something on his head then perhaps I could get a chance to escape.“What? Why can’t you just stay put and let me do what I have in mind? You are such a weakling that the sight of you makes me want to puke! I’m still wondering what a human like you is doing in our midst.” He snickered.“I am not a human! I have a wolf, and she’s going to come eventually!” I said immediately after I cornered my hand to the back, grabbing a branch of a tree.“You still have hope? How many full moons have passed yet nothing? Common, don’t try to act tough when
Elora's POV“What have you done?” The voice said again, filled with hostility but little did I care. I was more concerned about my leg that was now broken and above all, my freedom. I was so close to grabbing it yet so many things had to happen to hinder me from achieving it now I was paying gravely for it.“Did you do this, Mike?” The voice asked again and this time I couldn’t hold the urge to look. When I did, I saw it was Daniel and some other warriors.It wasn’t like their presence was going to improve things so I didn’t get my hopes high. But then, what Mike said next shocked every living cell in my body.“She broke her leg in a fight,” he said bluntly, moving close to me as though he was now a physician who was examining someone sick.His fingers moved on my thigh as he slowly grabbed my leg clutching it tightly. I tried to shrug him away, but it was futile. Then I wanted to yell out to them saying he was the one who broke my foot when Daniel spoke.“She got into a fight?” He a
Devlin POVMy heart heaved heavy right after I set foot outside the pack house while my body throbbed as though my cells were jerking with electricity. The sensation was so painful that I felt myself wincing in pain.I didn’t have any physical damage, so I could only conclude it was Elora. Since both of us now share a deeper connection, I could tell feel the pain she was feeling.Does that mean she got into an accident or was she attacked? If she was within the pack, then there was no way she could get hurt unless what Danica told me was true. She must have tried to escape and through that means, she could get injured.I remained lost in my thoughts, but figuring that wouldn’t solve the puzzle in my head, I knew I had to set out to search for her myself. Through the mate bond, I could easily find her.Sighing, I was about to set out when Daniel’s voice came through the mind link. I halted to listen to what he had to say.“We have found her. She was hurt deep in the woods, but now we a
Elora's POVStaring back at the furious eyes before me, I felt like sinking right into the bed, down to the floor to hide myself, but sadly that would never work.His aura had filled the air, leaving me with nothing to breathe in. My eyes darted to the door thinking I could get to it, but I could only brush the thought of. There was no way I could outrun him. Never.“Answer me!” He yelled again, and I had no choice but to let it out. Maybe if I did, it would fend him off for a while but to my surprise, it did the opposite. He began to shift into his wolf making me suspect that the worst was yet to come.He had a fearsome wolf. Though I haven’t seen him transform but have heard tales about him. Does this mean he intends to shift and bite me off or maybe claw at my entire body? I was left stuck thinking I should use the opportunity to run from him.But give on a second thought, where would I run to? There was no hiding from him and my legs were still broken, so the thought of running wa
Elora's POV“Who is that?” I extended my gaze towards the door after jerking at the sound I just heard, but there was no one. I looked around yet there was no single soul around but I was sure I heard someone’s voice.Perhaps it was my intrusive thoughts that were bringing up voices in my head. Sighing, I hugged my knee properly to continue thinking about a plan when a presence evaded my personal space. I looked only to see Danica smiling weirdly at me.“What do you want?” I snapped at her drawing back until I crashed on the headboard.Whenever she was around me, all she brought was trouble. For just today I had gone through the worst so I wouldn’t want her to add to it. I was tired of her and everyone else.“It’s not what I want but what you want, and I want to help you grab it.” She said, drawing closer to me, but I pointed a finger at her. Others might see her as a wolf, but I saw her as a demon in the flesh.“Stay back! Don’t come any closer! I don’t trust you whatsoever!” I sneer
Elora's POV He walked in holding a light blue dress in his eyes. There was a warm smile on his face that suddenly faded away after his eyes settled on Danica, who was about to leave the room. He frowned, staring at her emotionlessly. “Why are you here?” He asked coldly, while she turned to look at me. Her eyes conveyed so much to me, yet I couldn’t read anything out of it. “I’m just here to check on her. I heard she was hurt, so I came to see her.” She forced a smile, but her eyes remained glued to the dress. Sighing, Devlin walked into the room seemingly ignoring her as he walked past her aiming to come to me but paused on the same lane she was then his head twirled towards her. “You can go now. The maids are waiting for you in your room.” He said and with that, she began to move. I didn’t see her face clearly but from the side of it, I could see how her expression darkened. She puffed before dashing off. Her footsteps were loud enough to bang in my eyes and when she got t
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
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
