Devlin POVMy heart took pace, beating nervously as the sudden news was too shocking to my ears. Ario? In my pack? What the heck was he doing here showing up unannounced? Does he think he could approach me now? Or maybe he had other Alphas to back his ego, and now he had come to prove how strong he was?So many questions were popping up in my mind. I needed answers and to get that, I had to approach him and forcefully get the answers out if the need might be.I could have asked Daniel, but knowing him, all that I would get would complicate my head even more. The best thing would be to confront Ario head-on.Just then I walked out of the pack house only to be welcomed by his figure leaning by the car. He was with a few men and for some reason, he seemed to be more relaxed than I expected.“Alpha Devlin?" He leaned off his car and offered me his hand. A smile was sitting perfectly on his face which made me nauseous.“Why are you here? Uninvited?” I pointed out. There was no time to beat
Elora POV“Elora?” A voice called out to me, and I looked up. It felt like a dream. I had to be dreaming right? I said to myself but this was too good to be fake. Anxiously, I pinch my brows if maybe I would snap out of this dream, but it wasn’t working.My weak body finally found the strength to stand on its own. I felt revitalized. A lantern of hope was lit inside me.“Ario? Is that you?” I said in shock as just like me, Sarah stood by the side looking at him. She didn’t understand what was going on, but she could see I knew that person.“You are hurt? Who did this to you?” He asked, but I ignored what he said and reached out for a hug. His broad shoulder welcomed me in while his hand wrapped around my back, making me feel secure.It has been this long since I had such a feeling and just now I was reminded of how good it was.“I have missed you,” I said to him, hugging tightly as though I wanted to merge our bodies.“I’ve missed you too and that’s why I’m here. I can’t believe he wou
Elora POV“I see you have the balls to stand close to me and utter those damn words. Have you no desire to live anymore?” Ario said with a deadly glint in his eyes and through his gestures I was sure he would attack Daniel at any moment.“You are not my Alpha, so you don't get to decide my fate!” Daniel stood his ground, even though he knew there was no chance of him winning in a one on one battle. The only reason why he was standing tall was because he had more men behind him and also Devlin was here only that he didn't seem like himself.On the other hand, Ario didn't seem bothered about it, but I knew there was no way he would win when this wasn't his pack.As an Alpha, even if he successfully dealt with the warriors here, there were more that would replace them, and before he knew it, he would be the one on the losing end.I couldn't take this at all. As much as I wanted to get out of this place, I couldn't afford to watch Ario get himself hurt because of me. I quickly walked up t
Devlin POVThe way my body was at the moment I couldn't differentiate between left and right. My body wasn't in my control but that of my wolf. He forcefully took over and marked Elora without her consent.As much as I hated how it went, partly, I was also glad since it meant she was mine. I wanted Ario to accept it and leave. Trying to tame my wolf took too long and hard for me and Ario used that opportunity to mop the floor with me.Damn, it hurts! I cursed and didn't fight back at first because I was afraid of what my wolf could do to him, yet he was failing to see that.“Take me, let's go.”Suddenly, Elora said to him and it sent a nail to my chest. She wanted to leave. Did she want to leave me and follow him? What does he have that I didn't? What could he offer that I couldn't? What was the meaning of this?Angrily, I walked towards them and snatched her away. My action stirred up the tension in the air. My pack warriors and Ario's warriors were about to engage in a fight.Howeve
Elora's POVMy eyes weakened after those words left my mouth. Deep down, I didn’t mean the words I said to him, but I had no choice. It was either I remained in this place or he lost his life.Certainly, Devlin wouldn’t let me go no matter the words I spoke into that tough head of his. His wolf was in control and I could tell as he kept grunting. His eyes hadn’t returned to how they usually were so I figured any slight mistake from Ario might lead him to kill someone or cause damage here.The thought of how he killed his father crossed my mind and my heart skipped a bit. I wouldn’t want to envision Ario in such a sight or watch it happen, so I had to avoid that.“Elora, are you sure about what you are saying? I hope you are not burdened by his presence and that is imposing a threat on you?” He asked casually with a glint of reluctance and curiosity in his eyes. It signified he was ready to take action anytime.“Yes, I am sure of my words. You should leave now.” I said coldly, pointi
Elora's POVThe woods were quite larger than I thought. Big trees were standing tall, here and there. My path was filled with bushes, tree trunks, stones, and so many things. All I had to do was dodge all this even to reach my destination.Even though I was just a weak girl with no wolf, escaping from this place wouldn’t be a hassle at all. Since I wouldn’t be coming back here anymore I decided to give my all as I increased my pace.But sadly, no matter how hard, or fast I thought I was running, I couldn’t ignore the fact that I was wearing a dress rather than trousers. My legs felt trapped inside the dress, restraining me from going faster.“You should tear the side of it, so your legs can move freely.” My subconscious said to me.The realization of knowing it would work, made my eyes widen. Then I leaned down, grabbed the tip of the dress, and tore it at a length, exposing my thighs in the open.My legs became free, also giving me the chance to raise the dress at will. With all that
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.
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
