Elora's POVI glanced from the slightly muscular man so eager to fight me to Klaus, and a scoff left me before I could put my thoughts together. “So, this is the guy you want me to beat,” I purred.Klaus tilted his head slightly to the side. “Do you have any contrary opinion? And oh, if you can’t handle the heat, feel free to admit that, love.” He bared his teeth in a dirty grin. I turned from him to the man, smiling smugly now.“This is your chance to apologize and walk away,” he smiled. “Who knows, I might be lenient enough to persuade my boss and won’t have to fight you.”“You should be careful how you talk, young man,” I replied, voice low but firm. “The vessels with the most noise are the ones with nothing in them.”“We’ll see who’s the empty vessel by the end of today,” he frowned, pressing his knuckles together. I took him in, noticing his stance. His feet were wide apart, and he hunched slightly, his eyes watching my every move. This guy is a brawler, I noted.As I took a

Lloyd's POVI was still standing in my study with Davina, who sort of thinks that staying away from hunting my missing beta would somehow miraculously solve my problems. Was she okay? What was she thinking? “Let me through, Davina,” I growled. “The more we waste time here, the more things get more serious. Not like you understand that.”“I’m not going to let you through here until I can exactly determine where Elora is at the moment.“Then get the damn show underway already,” I cried. “Find Elora if you have to. Just let me go and find her.”Davina frowned at me, then stormed out of the room. I tried to walk out after her when I slammed into the barrier again and staggering back.“Great,” I hissed. “Just great when you have witchy-bitchy in your house. Now, I’m in some magical house arrest in my own hours for caring.”I headed back to the couch and dropped in, leaning back and trying to stay calm, but it was so difficult. There was no telling where Elora was now, and what bad shit sh

Elora's POVMy hands folded into fist, but I was careful not to reach to my core of energy. There’s no telling who’s in the darkness there, and considering the circumstances surrounding my family, revealing who I am at this point would be a silly thing to do. From the darkness, stern faces approached me, eyes sizzling with a yellow glow, some of them baring their teeth in a snarl. A couple cracked their knuckles, while some others held their swords in such a way that I should see it. I turned around slowly as I took them all in, closing in on me in a big circle.At this rate, it would be impossible to defeat these much people. But if I reach into my core of energy, I can kill them all in one swoop. A smart plan, but that also meant revealing that you’re a mage to anyone who could be watching from anywhere. The rogues approaching me suddenly froze in their track like they were in a kind of rehearsal, and I blinked. From how they stood, they had formed a large circle around me at

Lloyd's POVThe rest of the day was spent grilling the sorcerers we had in the dungeon for a couple of weeks, and to be honest. With just me and Xavier having to do the job, I missed having Elora around. She had stormed out after the conversation we had in my bedroom, and since then, no one had heard from her.Done with another round of grilling, I stepped out from the basement to meet Ragnar standing with the omega Tanya. She handed me a towel dipped in cold water, and I pressed it against my face before drawing a deep breath from the fresh air around me.“I’m going for another break, Ragnar,” I stated. “I’m sure Xavier could use a hand down there.”He nodded and went down to the basement. I headed towards the main entrance of the Alpha House in long, powerful strides. When I got to my study, I dropped into one of the couches in the room, pulling my phone out of my pocket and dialing Elora’s number. It rang for a moment before her voicemail voice took over. “This is Elora, and I

Elora's POVIn a bid to get away from Lloyd as fast as possible, I made my first stop at my former workplace. As I walked in, adjusting my mitpachat, I glanced around, surprised that Laura wasn’t at her duty post.In her place was a brunette, whose porcelain skin seemed a little too bright. She bared her teeth at a middle-aged man, who returned the favor, before turning around and breezing past me.When I got close, tentatively, the woman shot the same lottery-winning grin at me, waving me over. I headed to the counter. “How may I help you?” I glanced this way and that way, this time, taking my time to notice every nook and cranny of the restaurant before turning back to the brunette. “I’m looking for a Laura Connor,” I breathed.The woman’s grin seemed to widen, despite having gotten to his limits. “Oh, you don’t have to worry. She’s in the—”“The top elite herself,” I heard a familiar voice flow a clap as a familiar face approached me from an entrance at the side. “It’s really

Lloyd's POVShe was still holding the collar of my shirt tight, but she was pulling. I wanted to grab her hand, to shove her away, but I couldn’t. I wanted her to feel how I felt when she left that night, even when I told her that it was a bad idea. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that she knew it was a bad idea and still decided to go ahead with it intentionally.After a moment of suffocating silence, I broke it.“You did this to yourself.”She let go of my shirt quickly, taking a step back with a blink. “What?”“I remember telling you that there could be another way,” I purred.“And I told you it was our only chance,” she shot back. “We were in a lose-lose situation.”“We’ve been in worse,” I added. “And we survive without compromise.”She turned away, walking back to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room. “I did what I had to do,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I told you not to,” I said again, defiant. She spun around. “Well, I went ahead and did it.
