*Finding Elara*

The bond persisted, a tugging sensation resonating in my chest, an unspoken plea for her safety. It was my wolf who refused to sever the connection, an instinctual need to know she was alright.

"We'll find her soon," Jack affirmed, his eyes scanning the information laid out before us.

The pain in my shoulder intensified, an unbearable weight of worry and yearning. One part of me longed to see her, to ensure she was safe while my conscience could only think about Caitlin's feelings. She wouldn't be happy to know that I still feel for another woman while we're together. We have to find a way to sever the bond.

"Find her, Jack. I need to know where she lives Check if she's doing well," I pleaded, desperation seeping into my voice.

"In the past few days, I've gathered some clues silently. There are whispers about an injured wolf seeking refuge in the Dawn Pack territory. It's not confirmed, but the injured matches Elara's description," Jack explained, heightening my intere

    *How Hard Can it Get?*"Did you bring her here??" Arthur asked. Both of them turned silent, staring into each other, and I assumed he was using a mind link, telling him something that he wouldn't want the rest of us to hear. As werewolves, we all could mind-link each other, but mine was gone, along with my wolf."She's not supposed to be at this training center, take her back," he said. Elias looked at me, probably signaling me to be ready for action. I placed my hands together, "Please help me," I pleaded, hoping for a change of heart. I was ready to kneel if that was what he wanted."Elias," He called, and I could sense a hint of annoyance in his voice, but I stood my ground."Please, Alpha. My father is in trouble.""If you can successfully dodge two blows, I'll listen to you and then maybe agree to help."Really! How hard can it get? I turned optimistic; I'd do my best to make sure I win so he gives in."But if you're unsuccessful, you'll go back with Elias, agreed?" I nodded my r

    *Warmth*I spilled out the mess of my life—how things fell apart with Harden, why I had to leave Scorpio, and how I found shelter in Arthur's pack.After my story, I heard her sigh over the phone. "I'm sorry, Elara. You must have struggled a lot. I always said Harden was no good. I never liked the fact that he turned you into someone else. I knew he'd only leave you after all that." I hated admitting they were right about Harden. Along with Jason, Daphne never liked him, and now I could see their reasons. Harden was a spineless ass.I heard her grin over the phone, her tone shifted. "Forget about that jerk. You dumped him right? Now tell me about this new Alpha, is he hot? Are you guys a thing already?""No... Ew!!!" My face twitched. "I'm done with Alphas, Daphne, at least for now.""But he's handsome, right?" She pressed and I reluctantly admitted the obvious. The words felt heavy coming from my lips with a forced laughter which I tried to hold back. "Yes.""I knew it!" She exclaime

    *My Pulse Quickened At The Sight of Elara*I and my Beta had searched the whole place for this woman—how come she appeared in front of me, and the arms of another man?My pulse quickened at the sight of Elara. Seeing her dressed differently from her usual style made my blood boil. She was here with the Alpha of the Dawn pack and Caitlin's brother, Arthur Graham. Curling herself in his arms like a total bitch. I could only imagine how she got involved with him.My anger reached the rising point and I clenched my fist, I needed to let out rage so I stormed out of the dance floor and went to sit in front of the bar. The bartender quickly served me something strong, although werewolves barely got drunk, I could feel the heat of the alcohol on my skin.I gestured for the bartender to pour me another glass, gulping down everything. My soul was boiling, and my wolf was beginning to get aggressive.I needed something to calm me down. One part of me wanted to pull her out of Arthur's hand and

    *The Girl You Rejected*"You're a fucking bitch, you kissed him back there, where did you learn to be so forward? While we were together, you never let me touch you, I could barely kiss you now you go out there kissing another man."I remained silent."Answer me!" He barked.Refusing to dignify his question, I glared at him. "I said it's none of your fucking business!"."It's such a pity that you'd go out there, whoring yourself to Arthur just because he has so much power, do you think you can make me jealous? You're nothing to me. You are the girl I rejected.""Well, I don't think that's the case..." I replied with a bitter smile on my face, I tried as much as possible to keep my head up high, telling myself one thing, that I was over this man. I can live a better life without him."Because you dared to corner me. I can tell how much you're dying inside." I sneered."Yeah really? Then I'll be honest here, I need compensation." The smile on his face was a grim one. "You need to make i

    Beta-turned OmegaElara's POVI didn't see any need to disclose my personal affairs to a stranger. His grey eyes bore into mine, and I looked away, feeling compelled to speak yet resisting the urge. I averted my gaze, attempting to reduce the awkwardness in the car.I rubbed my arms together, protecting my skin from the cold, and suddenly he pulled so close to me, separating my hands and putting them behind my back before his lips fell on mine. At first, it left me dumbfounded, my brain finding it hard to comprehend what was happening. Arthur's lips on mine! I must surely be dreaming.He bit my lower lip, making me flinch, and at the same time, his warm tongue soothed the pain, brushing off the wound. He took the small opening as he went, letting his wet tongue slip into my mouth, exploring every corner. My hands and feet felt wobbly under his touch.I felt the need to squirm under him, letting my hand run a few times over his half-buttoned shirt which exposed his bare, chiseled chest

    Against her Will*Harden's POV:After the event, I left the winter ball with Caitlin, anger brewing inside of me as we drove silently home. I couldn't take my mind off today's event. I left Caitlin off at the mansion before going to the pack house.I stormed into the pack council chamber, my steps echoing the thunder of my troubled emotions. After seeing them together, I needed answers. I felt doubled cross. My Beta, Jack, looked up from the documents strewn across the table, his face shifting from concentration to concern as he met my seething gaze. He was about to say something, but I beat him to it."Did you know?" The words escaped my lips, turmoil brewing within me.Jack hung back for a moment. I noticed his eyes avoiding mine before finally meeting my intense gaze. "What is it, Alpha?" His response fueled my anger. Did he dare to pretend? Damn!"Don't act like you know nothing! You fuckin' fooled me," I uttered, rubbing my hand over my face frustratingly as I thought of how good

    LongingWhat was she thinking? This pack belonged to Caitlin's brother, and there was no way she'd be avoiding her for so long. But then she wasn't sure she could face her today. Elara decided that she would leave the necklace with the receptionist, almost turning to leave, but the conversation between Arthur and Caitlin caught her attention.In the room, Arthur was seated on his chair, reading some files before putting in his signature while Caitlin stood by his side with her arm crossed around his left arm, shaking and pestering him."Arthur..." She called, her voice like a cat in distress. Arthur did his best to ignore her disturbance and focused his whole attention on the papers."Please see him this once. Even Father has met with Harden a few times, so why won't you meet with my mate? Don't you care how he's treating me? Don't you want to know how I'm living?""You're not married yet, though a few rituals are done, there's still much left before you're officially his wife. You ca

This place isn't his territory.Not wanting him to create a ruckus in front of lawyer Tony, I gestured for him to come outside with me, hoping he'd listen. On my way out of the restaurant, I noticed that I was alone. I turned back to find Harden still standing in front of Tony, his hands hanging on his hips, the look in his eyes not a good one. I could sense trouble brewing in the air."Hey, Jerk, what are you doing with her?" He asked Tony, who acted indifferent. "Shit," I muttered, slapping my head hard. Why was he bent on disgracing me wherever I go?I stormed back to the table, mustering enough courage."Harden, please leave," I said with a stern expression. He turned from Tony to me and asked, "What are you doing here?" And then tittered. His hand pinched the bridge of his nose, "Here I

    *Have Faith in Arthur*The night settled over the pack lands like a heavy cloak, thick with silence and shadows. Outside, the trees rustled, and a cool breeze slipped through, carrying the faint scent of the forest. But inside the council room, there was a different tension—a sense of danger lurking beneath the surface.Elias entered, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the pack elders who were already seated. The leader of the pack elders sat at the head of the table, his fingers tapping slowly against the polished wood, his expression calm yet watchful.Around him, the others—grim, wary men and women with faces weathered by years of loyalty and fierce battles—whispered among themselves, glancing at Elias as he took his seat.His eyes found Elias’s, and he nodded in greeting. "Glad you could join us, Elias."Elias nodded, his gaze calm but his posture guarded. He was here as Arthur’s stand-in tonight, but it felt different without Arthur’s powerful presence beside him. This wasn’t

    *Your Goal*“The pack elders scheduled an emergency meeting; it’s concerned with your accident.”“When you get there, don’t let on anything. This fight has become personal; I will not involve people from my pack,” Arthur instructed, and Elias nodded.Arthur turned to Elara, his gaze softening. “Elara, I know you’re worried, but I need you to stay safe, too. If they couldn’t get to me directly, they might come for those closest to me. You’ll go back home today. Don’t come to see me unless I return home.”Her hand tightened around his. “But—”“I’ll be fine, Elara. I just need one more day before I bounce back.”“But I can stay at the pack house with you; I can take care of myself,” she said, trying to convince him because she didn’t want to leave.“I don’t want that. There are so many who have their eyes on you.” Arthur had always known that many disliked Elara because she was an outsider, and he didn’t want to give them the advantage while he was still bedridden.He gave her a faint sm

    *Give Some Credit to the Witch*Selene’s expression turned serious as she looked at him, her bruised face hinting at the ordeal she had endured. She hesitated before speaking, her voice softer. “You could at least apologize for nearly killing me last night. That was a tough fight, I must admit.”Elias’s eyes flickered, a hint of something close to regret crossing his face as he looked at her. Her bruised face and weakened body tugged at something within him, though he quickly forced it back. She had, after all, saved Arthur, and perhaps she deserved some credit for that.But his pride wouldn’t allow him to voice any apology, and he simply narrowed his gaze, his tone unyielding. “Be grateful I let you live. I had every reason to kill you.”Selene smirked, though the effort seemed to cost her. Her pale lips trembled slightly in discomfort. “Grateful, huh?” She chuckled softly, though the sound was tinged with pain.Although her mind was crowded right now, there was something she'd alway

    *He's Alive*In the morning, Elara woke up, still feeling discomfort in her chest. She washed her face and stood in front of the mirror, searching her reflection for any visible reaction, maybe even a hint of fur from her wolf—but there was none. She wondered what could be the cause. Last night, she couldn’t sleep, her wolf filling her head with howls, sensing that their mate might be in danger, or probably hurt. She tried reaching out to Arthur several times, but he didn’t respond, so she prayed for his safety. Arthur was strong and powerful, and she had immense faith in him; there was no way he’d lose in a fight.To distract herself while waiting for Arthur, Elara decided to work on the plants. Many of them needed special care, which she had noticed since first arriving here. She took the tools from the gardener and went into the garden.Elara knelt in the garden, her fingers gently tending to the young plants that had sprouted. The sun cast a warm glow over her, its gentle light a

    *Dark Magic Tolerance*Caitlin nodded, swallowing hard. She didn’t have any other choice. As much as she hated to admit it, she was at Alberto’s mercy. "Please do something," Caitlin said again. Alberto responded with a nod this time, and seeing the softened look on his face, Caitlin had hope that he would help. She left the house with the thought that she had to be by her family's side at this time so no one suspected her. She walked back to her car, trembling with fear of being caught, constantly looking behind to make sure no one was following.Once Caitlin left, Alberto signaled someone who had been hiding in the shadows, lurking behind the dark curtains since the time Caitlin arrived. He was quick to hear her footsteps and instructed his companion to go into hiding.The person came out from hiding, their face barely visible behind a grim smile. Alberto went to the cellar and returned with a special bottle. He uncorked it and drank directly from it before giving his companion a si

    *Not in the Bargain*Caitlin’s heart pounded in her chest as she paced around her room. Her mother had just delivered the news—Arthur had been shot with a strange bullet, and his condition was grave. Her mind raced with confusion, anger, and something she didn’t want to admit to herself: guilt.It wasn’t supposed to go this far. She never wanted to see Arthur in this state. All her plans, all her careful manipulation—none of it had involved this. She had wanted to hurt Elara, make her suffer, but Arthur? Her stepbrother? This wasn’t part of the plan.Her mother’s voice echoed in her ears, warning her that the situation was dire. Dark magic was involved, and the pack was panicking. They had no idea how to save him, and if something wasn’t done soon, Arthur wouldn’t make it through the night.There was only one person who might have answers, Caitlin thought. After more moments of deliberation, Caitlin was clear in her decision.She grabbed her coat, keys, and stormed out of the house. T

    *Fading***Arthur's POV:**Everything hurts.There’s no other way to describe it. Every breath feels like fire, every movement sends shockwaves of agony through my body. The wound in my chest throbs, pulsing in rhythm with my slowing heartbeat. I can feel the blood leaving me, feel the life draining from my body with every passing second. I try to focus, to stay conscious, but the world around me keeps blurring and spinning.I can't lose this fight—not now, not after everything.But my body isn’t listening to me anymore. My limbs are heavy, too heavy to move, and I feel myself sinking deeper into the cold. My vision fades in and out, darkness creeping into the edges of my mind. I struggle to hold on, to keep myself tethered to reality, but it’s slipping away. Fast.“Arthur, stay with us.”The voice is distant, muffled, like it’s coming from far away. It’s Tony—I recognize his voice even in the haze. He sounds desperate, but I can barely make sense of his words. I want to answer him, t

    *Witches Help*It wasn’t long before Arthur’s parents arrived, their expressions grim and heavy with worry. His father, the previous Alpha, stood tall, his face a mask of control, but the tension in his body betrayed his fear. His mother, the former Luna, clutched her husband’s arm, her eyes wide with concern as she gazed at Arthur lying unconscious on the healer’s table.Mira turned to them, her face pale. “I need your permission to reach out to a witch coven. The bullet that struck Arthur… it’s filled with dark magic. I can’t treat it here. They might have the antidote.”The room fell into a heavy silence.His father’s eyes narrowed. “A witch coven?” His voice was low, filled with disdain. “After everything we’ve been through with witches, you think we should trust them now?” There was anger evident in his tone.Mira hesitated but held her ground. “I understand your history, but the Alpha’s life is at stake. This magic is old, older than anything I’ve seen. If we don’t do something,

    *A Struggle for Survival*Just when Arthur thought he would black out, his eyes snapped open, and his body trembled in agony. It felt like the Moon Goddess was giving him a second chance, urging him to do all he could to stay alive. He fought desperately to stay conscious.The pain from the open wound surged through him like waves, threatening to drown him. His vision blurred, the world around him spinning wildly as he struggled to keep himself awake.Black, abnormal blood seeped from the wound, and though he was vaguely aware of Tony’s desperate movements nearby, all he could focus on was the fire consuming his body from within.*Stay awake. For Elara. For the pack, and Family.* His mind repeated it over and over, a mantra to keep him grounded. Each breath was a battle, shallow and ragged, as if even the air resisted him. Arthur clenched his fists, a groan escaping him as he tried to force the pain down to his stomach.“This can’t be it,” he muttered under his breath. “I can't... Thi
