This was the first time Elora had gone alone from Caspian’s castle and did something unrelated to werewolves since she had taken a leave.
Elora made an appointment with Javier this afternoon after she finished training with Zed. Her conversation with Zed during yesterday’s practice was still bothering Elora. Elora wanted to ask what Zed meant, but today Zed was more reserved, as if something was bothering him.
Elora grumbled as she looked at her car in the parking lot, next to Caspian’s castle. The car Caspian gave her, which Elora swore never to use. Being in the ranks of Alpha’s luxury cars, the black sports car, which is still smooth, doesn’t look too flashy. It’s a different story if Elora’s old car is juxtaposed here.
Elora pressed the button on the car key and heard two beeps. Elora took a deep breath
Elora grabbed Javier’s arm and led him to walk down 16 Rees Street, to one of their favorite places, Vudu café. A cafe which is only a few meters from Lake Wakatipu. Elora pushed open the cafe’s glass door and the smell of cake and omelette greeted her. It felt like life was back to normal for a while.Vudu café is always busy at lunchtime, so Elora and Javier have to queue to order food. While waiting for their turn, they were busy choosing various desserts that were lined up neatly behind the glass display case next to the cashier. Today the cafe provides lemon cake with passion fruit, apple pie, cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate muffins, and many more choices that always make Elora confuse.After ordering food, an egg benedict and rainbow burger, two cups of coffee, and a plateful of dessert, Elora and Javier found a seat. They sat outside. Because the weather was sunny today, and the inside of the cafe was almost full.They sat in
Exaggerating.That word ran back and forth in Elora’s mind every time she saw the scene before her.How not. In order to get the perfect party look, Kate called one of the most wanted designers in the South Island to come to Gibbston, while bringing some samples of the latest model dresses.The designer came with his assistants, bringing boxes of colorful dresses that Elora had only seen through the glass walls of prestigious boutiques in Queenstown.Not that Elora couldn’t afford one of these expensive dresses, but Elora had never had to attend an event that asked her to wear a silk dress with piled skirts and diamond-studded accessories.“Shouldn’t we just buy a dress at random boutiques in Queenstown?” whispered Elora into Kate’s ear, as the designer and his assistants were busy arranging the dresses on display. Yes, they brought some mannequins to show off the shape of the dress as a whole and neatly.
A drizzle greeted Elora and Zed as Zed’s car, a black SUV, drove through downtown Queenstown. Zed steered his car down Camp Street, a street lined with boutiques, shopping malls, and jewelry shops.“You come here often?” Zed asked as the car pulled into the parking area at the end of the street.“Sometimes. If I need new clothes to meet new clients.”“Did you buy new clothes when you were going to meet Caspian and me?”There was a faint joke in Zed’s question, which made Elora uneasy. Suddenly, a warm feeling spread across Elora’s cheeks. She let out a soft laugh.“Em… yes—but I’m not trying too hard to look good, either. I’m afraid that if I try too hard, the result will be too much.”“You don’t have to try too hard. Because you are already beautiful even in simple clothes.”Zed said that after the car was parked neatly. He st
Caspian has been known as an Alpha who is not very friendly to other packs. Many say he is arrogant because he comes from a rich family. Not infrequently, rumors grew out of control. It was the rumors that formed Caspian’s image in the eyes of the werewolves, who didn’t know him well.It was seen from the way they looked at and talked to Caspian during the meeting. And the trouble Caspian has caused in the past two years has made the other Alphas dislike him more.“We have been discussing border guarding for a long time, but have we actually encountered any serious problems? Except for the trouble someone has caused recently.”Gerald, an Alpha from the tip of the South Island, mentions Caspian. An old-fashioned-minded man, who still likes to wear a sleeveless fur coat everywhere. Caspian knew him since he was a teenager. His parents didn’t get along with Gerald either.The other meeting participants nodded in agreement at Ger
Hearing the word dance party always conjures up images of parties in movies about princesses and princes. The majestic hall was full of people in all kinds of classy dresses and suits. Large candles are set in three-pronged candle holders, their flames dancing in gold, yellow, and orange. An orchestra group in the corner of the room, playing classical music that hits, sometimes serene, accompanying couples who twirl and hug each other on the dance floor.The picture is real. Like pouring thoughts into a form that can be seen with the naked eye, Elora felt an atmosphere like in a fairy tale.Zed picked her up at seven o’clock. He knocked on Elora’s door, and his eyes widened in amazement at Elora’s appearance tonight.“All the men would be jealous of me,” he said with a smile.Elora dismissed the compliment with a blush, then let out a dry laugh. “I think this is too much.” She lowered her head to look again at the
Elora’s legs wrapped tightly around Caspian’s slender and sturdy waist, making her dress part and revealing the smooth skin on Elora’s thighs. Caspian’s arms wrapped around Elora’s hips, and held her by her butt, keeping Elora from falling. Elora drifted her face away as she opened her eyelids. Her gaze met Caspian’s. His pair of blue eyes glowed in shock, confusion, and… pleasure.“You’re drunk, El,” whispered Caspian. It wasn’t a warning, just a notification, and Caspian didn’t seem to mind it.“Allow no woman to touch you. You’re mine,” said Elora. They don’t care about the reactions of the people around them. Elora couldn’t think of anything other than Caspian, and the feelings she had worked so hard to suppress but overcame her tonight. All Elora wanted now, here, was Caspian. Caspian grinned, a haughty, triumphant smile, and Elora liked it.“Let&rsq
The morning came too soon. Elora grumbled as a glimmer of golden light fell over her closed eyes. Elora groaned and rolled to the side, then she opened her eyes lazily. Caspian fell asleep beside her, softly snoring as his chest rose and fell.Elora blinked slowly, remembering the remnants of last night’s events while enjoying the sight in front of her. Caspian is so handsome, and he is very good in bed. Elora’s whole body shivered with pleasure as the feeling returned, traces of Caspian’s touch on her skin. The soft taste of Caspian’s lips on hers.This was definitely not the first time for Caspian… and it wouldn’t be Elora’s first. But that’s okay. They live here, at this time, as a mate. Elora would love Caspian with all her heart.Caspian opened his eyes, the blue of his irises fading. Caspian smiled sweetly, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.“Good morning,” he said hoarsely.&ldqu
Elora washed herself, got dressed, and came out of the room, hoping Zed was waiting for her in the hallway as usual. But no one there. Elora went downstairs and turned into the dining room. She heard voices and the clinking of dishes from inside. Elora opened the door and found the room quite crowded. The members of the pack hadn’t left for work yet, and they all stopped what they were doing when they saw Elora.Elora stood awkwardly in the doorway. There was no one she knew here. Elora gulped and walked backward while closing the door. She would eat when everyone else had left, as usual. Elora turned around and bumped into someone behind her.“Ow!” Elora rubbed her throbbing nose. Zed caught each of Elora’s arms, keeping Elora from falling backward.“Where are you going?” Zed asked.“Back to my room,” answered Elora. Then she remembered something. “Hey, why don’t you take me to practice? Usually
