Elora's POV Surely, she was going to bundle me up and send me back to Devlin like a pizza in a box. The more she spoke, the more her gaze grew intense on me, so I had no choice but to react quickly, or else I would meet the same fate I was trying to run from. Intentionally, I hit my leg on a stone since I was walking backward to get away from her. I stumbled and was reduced to the floor as a groan escaped my lips. As expected, she didn’t show any reaction but was taking note of my movements. But then, I was able to shake her attention with my act while already my hand reached for a stone. Abruptly, I stopped moving so she could catch up. My face was squeezing in pain and convincingly enough to lure her in. “Are you…” Bang! Before she could complete the words, I leaned forward and smacked her face with the stone. Then I turned around and started running away. “Ahhhh!” I heard her cursing as she winced in pain, but little did I care. She was going to take me back and for that, she
Devlin POV“I want you guys to double the border patrol and beware of any intruders. I don’t want what happened today to repeat itself.” I said, staring at Daniel and the other warriors.“You think he still lingers around?” Daniel asked, glinting doubt in his eyes.“Just do it. Something fishy has to be going on. His expression told me more.” I replied.For some reason, I wasn’t at rest after he left. He must have gone, but part of me still felt like he was lingering around. A slight mistake would lead me to lose Elora, and that was the last thing I ever wanted to happen.That aside, I had marked her without even knowing. My wolf took control to satisfy his urges and show possession. Now I had to deal with the guilt as it wasn’t what I expected my wolf to do.She felt so broken as she walked away. The urge to call out to her clung to me, but I just didn’t know how to put it into words. Her sullen expression was still taunting me, so I thought a little time would allow her to grieve.
Elora's POV“True, no one likes you in the pack, but don’t you think it’s better to earn your worth than leave?” She said, hinting at a point while I abruptly paused in my tracks.“I mean, it isn’t safe out there. As we all know there has been a breakout of rogue here and there. There is no guarantee you’ll survive out there alone.” She added, and I felt shivers running down my spine.Such kinds of possibilities were true, but I wasn’t sure if I heard such while I was in this pack. The thought of being attacked by rogues crossed my mind, making me swallow hard. My body began to shiver despite how I tried to conceal it.“Feels like you’ve had an experience before." She chuckled, walking towards me. “Then you know what the answer is.” She said to my ear before walking away like she didn’t care what my decision would be next.Her actions worsened the feeling in my chest. I looked the other way, but the urge to charge at it was slowly slipping away. Maybe I should stay back rather than go
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
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
