Elora's POV“You don't scare me, Elora!” Scarlet declared, making me halt right in my tracks. With a smirk curling up across my lips, I turned halfway to look at her.“You were never expected to be afraid of me, Scarlet… at least not when you are dead and served to the rogues!” I snarled viciously.“Are you threatening me right now?” She scoffed as she took a step closer to where I was standing.“I'm not threatening you, Scarlet… threats are for weaklings. Just obey me, is that clear?” Before she could say another word to me, I walked out on her.I could hear her frustrated screams from inside the mansion, but I didn't care. I was glad she felt that way.I would have loved to make her pay for sending rogues to come rape me, but it was just best if I ignored her and went to save my Alpha.The second I got to the room, I swiftly pushed the door open and couldn't help but find Dayton and Luke trying to take Killian's shirt off.“Leave, I'll do it!” I commanded, and they immediately obeye
Elora's POV “Luna, is it done?” Dayton asked the second he caught sight of me walking out of the room with fury written all over my face. “Your Alpha is okay now, and I'm sure he'll be perfectly fine once he wakes up!” I declared as I avoided making eye contact with him at this point. I turned to Luke, who was staring at me with confusion. I bet he must have noticed that I was angry too and was wondering why I was being that way, considering the fact that Alpha Killian was still unconscious. “Let's go!” I commanded and had begun to walk before him when, just then, Beta Dayton stepped in, grabbing my hand swiftly and halting me right in my tracks. I turned to him with creased brows, my eyes trailing from his face down to his hand that held mine in his grip. “And what is the meaning of this, Beta Dayton?” I snapped as I questioned, my tone tinged with anger and rage. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I couldn't just take the thoughts out of my head. The thoughts of Killian calli
Killian's POV.I felt an intense throbbing pain in my head the second my eyes fluttered open to the bright light that reflected through the windows of my room.“Shit!” I exclaimed, clutching my head as I sat up on my bed, my eyes briefly closed just to stop the pain, just to stop the pang that I felt.“What’s happening to me?” I muttered softly, trying to make it stop. Soon, the door opened, and Beta Dayton came into the room.“You are awake!” he exclaimed as he ran towards my bedside. He was pretty happy to see me, and I wasn’t sure why.“Shut the curtains… it keeps disturbing me!” I commanded, and without hesitation, he did as he was told.“How do you feel now?” he asked after closing the curtains.I let go of my head and, turning to him, I nodded gently. “That’s more like it!” I let out a relieved sigh as I leaned on the frame of the bed, my eyes fixed on the door before me.“What happened? Last night, I don’t seem to remember it all,” I turned to Dayton as I asked. I needed to und
Killian's POV“Alpha Killian, what are you…” Elora began, but before she could finish her sentence, I surged forward, my heart pounding. I grabbed her hand with a sense of urgency, pulling her firmly into my arms. I could feel her initial resistance, but I held her tight, refusing to let go. The longing I felt for her, the emptiness that had consumed me in her absence, now seemed to dissolve with her warmth against me.My arm was wrapped securely around her, and the feeling of her body pressed against mine was both a comfort and a torment. I had missed her more than words could express. The scent of her cologne wafted up to my nostrils, stirring memories of better times when we were inseparable. I inhaled deeply, trying to capture and hold on to every part of her.“Alpha…” she murmured again, attempting to pull away from my grip. But I was relentless, my hands tightening slightly, unwilling to release her. I needed this closeness, this connection. It was as if my very existence
ELORA."Please, Father! Don't leave me like this! Please, stay!" I sobbed uncontrollably, clutching my father's weak, bloodied body in my arms.Tears streamed down my cheeks as my only desire was to somehow save him, to give him another chance at life."I'm... I'm too weak to go on, Elora," he rasped, his voice choked with pain. He paused, coughing up blood, and the sight shook me to my very core. My eyes widened in shock and fear, unable to comprehend the severity of the situation."Father, please!" I wailed with all my might, my heart pounding and tears streaming down my face."Listen to me," he struggled to speak, his voice weak and strained. "The Ocean pack... it's in your hands now. Keep it safe. And to do that, you must marry Alpha Killian."His words hit me like a tidal wave, and I froze in disbelief at the mention of marrying Alpha Killian."What? I... I can't do that!" I protested vehemently, shaking my head in refusal, tears still blurring my vision as I struggled to unders
ELORA."To claim what is rightfully mine, Chief Grayson!" Alpha Killian asserted with a deep, commanding voice that sent a shiver down my spine. The urge to shift into my wolf form and tear him apart surged within me, but I forced myself to maintain composure."That's never going to happen, Killian!" I snapped, my fists clenched at my sides as I locked eyes with him. The sight of him only fueled my rage further, and all I wanted was to escape his presence.He was my enemy, the Alpha I despised more than any other. His attempt to claim me filled me with disgust and irritation. I wanted nothing to do with him, regardless of my father's wishes. I had my own desires, and they did not include submitting to Alpha Killian."It's already happening, Elora. You can't change what has been marked by the moon goddess herself!" Killian snarled, his gaze intense as he locked eyes with me.Despite his handsome appearance, he was far from being my dream partner."The moon goddess would never pair m
ELORA."I can't do it! I refuse to marry him!" I yelled, storming into my room, my heart pounding with anger and loathing.I despised the thought of being joined to someone like Killian. I detested him with every fibre of my being."No!" I growled furiously as I collapsed to the ground, rolling and pounding my fists against the unforgiving floor.My pristine white gown was now stained brown, and tears streamed down my cheeks as frustration consumed me.Just as I was contemplating ways to escape the situation, the door swung open, revealing Bryce, who froze in surprise at the sight before him.He was clearly taken aback by the sight of me sprawled on the ground, and I couldn't blame him—I'd be equally surprised if our roles were reversed."What's going on, Elora? Why are you lying on the floor?" he inquired, closing the distance between us."Isn't it obvious, Bryce? I refuse to marry that evil Alpha! I won't marry Killian!" I declared defiantly, disdain colouring my tone."It can't be
ELORA."MATE!" Kyla, my inner wolf, roared as I held Killian while standing on the altar. I could not believe it. It felt like I was hallucinating. My heart raced, and my eyes were riveted on him, overwhelmed with amazement and admiration. "I can't be mated to him, right? I can never be mated to the Alpha I despise!" I snapped as I yanked my hand from his clutches with force. I stood there, bewildered, as numerous thoughts raced through my mind. Why was I only just realising he was my mate? Despite our countless confrontations, this revelation took me by surprise.Taking a step backward, I stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. But Killian swiftly grabbed my hand, pulling me closer to him. My hand rested on his chest as our eyes locked in a tense gaze, the tension between us palpable."Mine! Mine!" Kyla's raging voice echoed within me as I found myself drawn closer to him.In an instant, I pulled away, putting distance between us."Stay away from me!" I commanded, running my fin
