AerosI almost killed her! I could have killed her! I whispered to myself as I paced the length of my room, nervously biting down on my lower lip while the healer attended to the unconscious Elarian on the bed.If I couldn’t protect Blair, then I should at least be able to protect Elarian. I couldn’t let her go down the same road as Blair.“You need to calm down, Aeros. It was just an accident. You can’t beat yourself up for it,” Jonathan said calmly as he placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it gently.I shrugged him off.“That’s easy for you to say when you’re not the one that almost killed her. I would have to live with it for the rest of my life if anything, anything at all, happened to her.”“You’re overthinking this. You should get some sleep and have something to eat. Don’t forget you’re injured too.” Jonathan tried to persuade me, but I didn’t let him do that.Before I could respond, the healer walked up to us and said, “She will be fine. She was just shaken up a littl

Aeros“Hey!” Jonathan snapped his fingers in front of me, jolting me out of my thoughts. “Whoa… you weren’t even listening to me. Is something wrong?” he asked as he shut the document we had been going through before I lost track of what he was explaining.“Yeah… uh… I’m good. You were saying we should reinforce the guards at the outskirts of our territory.” I tried to sound convincing enough, but he didn’t buy it.He raised a brow at me suspiciously.“No, that’s not what I said. I was showing you my ideas on the… you know what, never mind, just tell me what’s on your mind.”“There’s nothing, and I’m sorry. I just have a lot on my mind lately. Nothing serious, though.” I responded as I eased back into my seat.He sighed deeply. “It’s so difficult to try and talk to you at times. You shut me out, and I really don’t know how to deal with it anymore. Listen to me, Aeros, I know Blair would have loved to see you happy again. What happened was unfortunate, but you can’t let it make your li

ElarianI loved him, and there was no denying that fact. I could feel myself drowning in his scent and getting overwhelmed with the urge to have him by my side all the time. Being in his arms even made the lower part of my neck, right before my shoulders, tingle.There was nothing more that I wanted than for him to mark me, and it scared me because I knew and had experienced firsthand just how unpredictable he could be.He might wake up the next morning and decide that he didn’t want to have anything to do with me, or he might retreat further into his shell after a couple of hours of making me feel so loved. These fears haunted me every single time I tried to open up to him about being my mate, so I made a decision to keep it to myself and see how things would play out.Maybe someday… someday… he would feel the bond too and realize that this could be our precious second chance that the Moon Goddess had so generously bestowed on us.He had lost his mate, and as for mine… well… that on

AEROSIt had barely been a few hours since I left the house before I began to lose control of myself. The overwhelming urge to see her and claim her took me by surprise, and I had never felt anything like it before.I managed to pull through a few meetings, but on our way to the last one, something inside of me snapped. I had never felt anything like it before, and Xavier did not make things any easier.He was spiraling out of control, and I could feel it. He missed her and craved her presence so much that he became restless and unable to focus.“Turn the car around,” I suddenly ordered the guard behind the wheel.Jonathan, who was sitting beside me, shot me a look immediately. “Are you okay? Is something wrong?” he asked out of genuine concern.I didn’t respond to him though; I just shook my head and repeated the same order to the guard, who was sincerely confused and had no idea what to do, so he just brought the car to a halt.“What’s going on, Aeros? What do you mean by turning th

ELARIAN The tingling sensation on my neck was both a mixture of pain and pleasure, but that pleasure was instantly replaced by excruciating pain when he slammed those words right in my face.“What…what do you mean by that?” I looked up at him in utter confusion, but he wouldn’t even meet my eyes. He was intentionally avoiding my gaze.This was what I had been so scared of from the start. I knew at one point or another, he would act up like this, and he was doing just that now. My legs were trembling underneath me, unable to hold me up anymore, but I struggled to stand.“Look me in the eyes, Aeros, and repeat those words again,” I demanded, but he still wouldn’t do that. He attempted to walk out on me, but I didn’t intend to let him off the hook that easily.I quickly stepped in front of him and planted my feet down in a very confronting manner. He glared at me with contempt. I had no idea what I had done to deserve such a reaction from him; he had just marked me, and one would have t

ELARIAN Blair led me over to one of the long benches in the park, where she stopped in front of a funny-looking man dressed in flashy clothes. He had all sorts of paintings on his face, along with some other men present or walking around the park.“Hey Blair, who do you have here?” he asked with a cheerful smile. He had dark hair and eyes that held such depth to them that you could find yourself staring into them for a long time.“Are you interested in joining the carnival?” He looked up at me with a twinkle in his eyes, and I raised a brow in response.“Carnival?”“Yeah…look around you; there’s a carnival going on at the moment.” He stopped talking and stared at me for a while. “Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you around here before. Are you by any chance new to the area?”“Yes, she is. I just found her over there,” Blair turned around to point at the spot where we had met, “and she seemed to be in need of a place to crash for a few days.”“Well…she’s in luck. I ne

AEROS “What the hell do you mean by you dropped her off at the border!” I yelled as I slammed my fist on the table.The timid-looking maid in front of me trembled in fear, nervously shuffling on her feet with her head down and her hands behind her back.“I am so sorry, Alpha Aeros, but she insisted I leave her there. I had no choice but to—”“Leave her in the wild for the rogues to feed on?” I roared, cutting her off rudely. I took a deep breath when I realized all my yelling wouldn’t get me anywhere. Calm and collected, I eased back into my seat and pinned her with a stare.“Your orders were to take her somewhere safe, an accommodation, or anything else she would be comfortable with, not a danger zone like the border. That was what the money was for, you know.” I snapped back with an angry look on my face.“She outrightly rejected the money, Alpha Aeros. In fact, she looked like she was offended by it.”I sighed deeply again and massaged my brows.Elarian had never been the type to
The Alpha's Pet 33
ELARIAN I was stunned at how things had changed so rapidly. The napkin I used to hide my mark from the public was gone, and Blair was staring at me with a look in her eyes that hadn’t been there a while ago. It was as if she could see right through me and suddenly knew that everything she thought she knew about me was a lie.“What’s your real name?” she asked with a strict tone that left me staring at her in disbelief, unable to recover quickly from the incident.“And what could have possibly made that mark on your neck?” She took a step closer, and that sudden movement snapped me out of my trance so quickly that I immediately stepped away from her and wrapped the napkin back around my neck.“It’s nothing,” I responded with a dismissive tone, but she clearly wasn’t willing to settle for an excuse like that.Although it was clear she still had a lot on her mind, she stayed quiet for a few seconds, maintaining eye contact. When she finally looked away, her eyes slowly dropped from mine
