I close my eyes and think about Elara. Her perfect face plays in my head.
It’s like seeing a blurry vision, yet certain it’s where she is. I follow the dusty road until we reach the highway and back to a gravel road. Within two hours, I reach the pack where the little princess is.
Without waiting for security to let me in the pack, I go straight to the alpha's mansion.
They are chasing my car and trying to stop me. When I stopped in front of a mansion, I hit one wolf with my car, he shouldn't have stood in front of me.
I get out, growling menacingly at the guard wolves. My aura makes them whimper. Wolves are powerful creatures, but dragons are more powerful and intimidating, even our aura oppresses them.
I walk inside and down to the backyard, her scent is stronger and more enticing to my wolf. Has she always smelt like this? I wonder. I stop in my tracks when I see a man, an alpha glaring at the pool. He's too engrossed to notice me. I glimpse what he's watching, it's her, the Little Princess. She's struggling to keep afloat, and he's enjoying watching her suffer. I feel rage take over me and lung to attack him immediately. He saw me a second too late. I tackled him to the ground and crawled at his face.
' Elara! Save her!' my wolf shouts. I let go of the fucker, and dive into the pool. I carry the princess out and give her CPS. After chest compressions, she coughs out the water. Her eyes open but soon close again in tiredness.
I stand up and glare at the alpha covered in blood. I did a number on him. His wolves instantly surround me.
" Who the fuck are you, and what are you doing in my pack?" The fucking alpha asks his hand still on his bleeding eye.
"I'll kill you for this," I growl. He backs away, and with a wave of his hand, his men jump on me, but I fight them off easily.
In two minutes, they are lying in the blood with injuries, others dead.
The alpha is backing away in fear now, " W- who are you?" his confidence is gone. I wrap my hand around his neck and carry him from the ground.
" Do you fucking know who she is?" I ask in a deadly tone.
" S- she's my mate. We had a misunderstanding. She came here and fell in the pool," he is struggling to speak because I'm gripping his throat tightly. His eyes are scared. What kind of alpha is this weak, and what is this fucking pack?
" You're lying," I grit.
I can tell he is by the slight tremble in his tone, and I saw how he watched her with gratification as she suffered. The little Princess coughed, and I threw the puny alpha against the tree. He bolts into the forest, fucking dickhead. I'll find him.
I go back to the Princess, and I notice she's slowly regaining her strength, when her eyes fully open to look at me, she gasps.
" You?"
Elara
" Me," he said in a deep sultry voice. I stared in the eyes of the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Zuriel Crawford.
What is he doing here? I want to ask but no words escape my lips.
Zuriel Crawford is a powerful and intimidating guy. He is cold and dangerous, but every time I see him, my heart beats faster, and my wolf, Ara, purrs.
His bewitching sad emerald eyes are staring deep into mine.
' His eyes are always sad,' Ara whimpers. For as long as I've known him, which is my entire life, his eyes were always sad, and he never smiled. There was a sense of doom that shrouded him, it made me wretched for him.
After a moment, Zuriel holds his hand towards me. I take it but he soon lets it go as though I burnt him, making me fall back to the floor.
I lie on the floor, feeling defeated. I can feel his burning stare, but I refuse to look at him.
I had a crush on Zuriel since I was a young girl, but to him, I was only a tick, the kind who wouldn't leave him alone even though he ignored me. I followed him around like a desperate fan, and the few times he spoke to me, he was rude.
As years went by, I realized that I was in love with him, and when I told him, he was brusque and said, he could never want a silly girl like me. I was hurt so badly and forced myself to stop loving him.
" Get up. Your parents are worried about you," his deep voice is harsh. I frown, thinking of my parents.
" Did they send you here?" I ask, but he doesn't answer. I get up from the ground. My knees are still weak, I stumble, but he catches me before I fall. His eyes look over to the mansion.
" What happened?"I am hesitant to tell him, but I do.
" The alpha of the pack is mate," I say quietly. His fierce gaze on me makes my skin burn despite the cold I feel. He is waiting for me to continue.
" He rejected me, not officially because he wants to torture me. According to him, my family hurt his, it's vindication,"
I feel ashamed and can't hold his gaze anymore. I cast my gaze away, staring at the pool of water. I hear him sigh, and something warm is placed on my shoulder. A towel. I glance at him, my heart erratic and my wolf anxious.
" Do you want me to kill him?" he asks.
I stare at him shocked, I don't know if he's joking because he said it without flinching. He is serious about killing Alpha Connor, " No, Zuriel, I'll be fine. But I do want to find him so that he can accept my rejection," " That fucker," he murmurs. I was tied to Connor, and I'd feel it when he is fucking other women. That will be his great punishment for me. I hated Connor so much. " I'm sure he's on the run now and won't be coming anytime soon," I sigh. Zuriel's phone rings, and he pulls it from his pocket with a frown and shows me the caller ID. It's my Dad. " Don't tell him about the condition you found me in. It's embarrassing," I say, my cheeks heating up from embarrassment. He looks at me wordless but nods. I don't want this to get out. It's a shame in my family's name. Everything I did was wrong. I wasn't supposed to go with him without my parent's blessing, and I especially wasn't supposed to mate with him without the ceremony. If it gets out, the rumormongers will be vic
Elara " Zuriel, Zuriel. You're hurting me,” he didn’t realize he was holding my body too tightly. I was suffocating for a second there, and his body was shaking. The aura that filled the elevator was oppressive and scary. I place a hand on his hard chest, and he stares down at me.Time stops as he stares at me with those emerald dangerous eyes of his. Those eyes I used to go crazy for, the eyes that made my heart beat faster than anything in the world. I almost forgot this feeling. It had been too long since we saw each other as he always disregarded me. An annoying tick, he called me.“ Put me down, I can stand,” I say, trying to avoid my thoughts about him. He ignores my wishes and walks out of the elevator into his penthouse. He puts me down, standing close to me. Zuriel was over 6ft, and warmth radiated from his muscular body. I glance around the living room. It is large, luxurious, and neat too. His scent covered the entire apartment, and my wolf was excited after being qui
ConnorI was growling. Who the fuck was that man? His aura was like no other. He wasn’t an alpha, but something greater. The look in his eyes was severe. He wanted me dead. I felt like I was a man marked by death. Death roamed over my life since my encounter with him, and I could feel it. I needed to be careful. I hid out in the forest. I was blinded, and my eye was damaged. I needed to go to the hospital, but I couldn't as I don't know if that man is still in my pack. I mind link my beta. ‘ Beta, that man,’ ‘ He’s gone, sir,’ he says. I can tell he was distressed and in pain, after all, he was one of the people that the beast almost killed. I think back to my mate and the concern in that stranger’s eyes. ‘ And Elara?’ I ask. I am feeling apprehensive and nervous. I want to know, but also I'm scared that he has taken her, my mate. ‘ She went with him, Alpha,’ he says softly. I feel many emotions swell in me. Fear, hurt, anger, and so much more. I’ll never see her again now. Elara
Zuriel I place her hands over her head. My gaze is on her. I lost my mind when she suggested she had been with other men. I am angry at her, and my body is shaking. I glare at her, and she holds my gaze. This proximity is dangerous. I can't be this close to her, but I can't move away either. I feel like a moth drawn to a flame. My eyes fall on her soft lips. I hate that men had her, they tasted her! " Your eyes... They are beautiful," She breathes. I didn't expect her to say that. She is drawn into my eyes. Her chest rising and falling, I can't help when my eyes linger... She isn't flat chest anymore. I need control of my emotions, I need to take back charge because if I don't, I might end up doing something I'd regret. With great difficulty, I pull away from the green-eyed princess. " Go to bed?" I tell her. " I like it when we are close," Her voice is seductive. Since when is she not coquettish around me? What the fuck is she doing? Does she still like me? Elara confesse
" Have you looked in the mirror? You look like a whore," he says, and my eyes widen. Did he just call me a whore. I scoff and fold my arms. Anger bubbling inside me. "She looks like a whore, not me," I grit my teeth, my eyes snapping to the woman standing in the corner now. Her eyes flash with outrage. " I'm not a whore. He's my boyfriend," she spat confidently. One glare from me shuts her up. Zuriel gestures for her to leave, and with an annoyed huff, she runs back upstairs... To his room. I watch after her with disdain, and suddenly my body is hot. It happens when he's staring at me, my body reacts in such a manner to him. " Want to blast her with your eyes?" he teased. Was he being playful right now?" I'm leaving, Zuzu," I roll my eyes as a smirk forms on my lips. I used to call Zuzu to tease him. His eyes widen in shock at that nickname I used to call him as a kid. He hated it so I used the nickname to get his attention. He's trying to keep calm, inhaling in and out. " Don't
" Elara!" Solena comes to hug me, and I hug her back. I smile at my brother, Khai, and hug him. He looks relieved to see me and hugs me tighter. " Elara, we were worried," he says. I inhale his scent, feeling better in his arms. Khai and I are close in age, and we grew up being close despite having different personalities. " I'm sorry," I say, " I was relieved when Zuriel found you," he breathed. I look at Solena, " They are looking at me strangely. What's going on?" I look between them. Khai scowls and Solena smiles tightly. It's creepy. She only does this when she's trying to conceal information, which is difficult because she's terrible at keeping secrets. " Sol, you're doing that thing with your lips and teeth again," I point. She stops and pulls a stoic face, but it soon contorts. " You're so annoying. Can't you be normal for five minutes?" Khai says, bewildered. " I can't help it. No wonder I was hiding out here," Solena cries. They argue back and forth. I roll my e
Elara The scandal was the topic everywhere. I talked to my mother and I was glad she held nothing against me. She encouraged me to move forward from this. Khai was relentless in pursuing Connor, but the mother fucker vanished from the face of the earth. His beta was the one running his pack. However, I did feel it when he fucked someone. It was unbearable. My family was by my side the whole time. I constantly received attacks online from my peers and the people I went to university with. Everyone looked at me with disdain except my closest friends, Solena, and Brandon. When I walk in the hallway, they shout vulgar words at me. I badly wanted to punch them and say something, but my tongue-tied each time. Solena and Brandon would be the ones to fight on my behalf. " Should we get some milkshakes at Chia's? I miss my favorite strawberry milkshakes," Brendon says as we leave our sociology class. " No," Solena is quick to answer. I narrow my gaze at her. She never refuses to go th
Elara " Aren't you a whore?"I scoff and kick him in the balls hard. He almost doubles over, and I use it to slap him." Fuck you," I say and turn to walk away from him, but he grabs my waist and spins me to him. With one move, he presses me against his car. His handsome face is close to me. I glare at him." You said it yourself that you've been with many men and women, so why are you offended," he speaks in my ear.I hate how a delightful shiver runs down my body." I'm not whore. And I was fucking teasing you, asshat!" I bark and push him away from me. He doesn't move. An emotion I'm unfamiliar with crosses his features, but I don't ponder on it. I duck and go under his arms before making my way to the huge glass doors of the packhouse. I was fuming in anger. How dare he think of me as a whore.As soon as I enter the packhouse, my mom's mind links me to go to the salon. They must have heard what happened at the univers
