~Chapter One Hundred and Six~ Kai’s POV I closed the door behind me as I entered the room Elara and I shared. I stared at the piece of cloth in my hand, the only unbelievable thing they had brought back to me to seal her death. And for several seconds, I couldn’t breathe. My heart and mind refused to believe it. It couldn’t be Elara’s. Not my mate. Not the one thing fate had granted me. My fingers tightened around the bloodstained fabric until it was crushed inside my fist. “No. She can’t be dead.” My wolf growled inside me, violently and desperately. “Find her.” “Then where is she?” I yelled. “Somewhere. Just bring her back to us, will you?” “I wish you were right about that one thing.” The words tore out of me. I turned and slammed my fist into the wall more than twice as pain shot through my knuckles, yet I didn’t care. I needed something to drown out the emptiness spreading through my chest, but nothing I did could fill it. She was gone. The human girl I had only jus

~Chapter 105~ Elara’s POV My eyes opened slowly, and the first thing I noticed was the warmth. I wasn’t lying on the cold ground anymore. I blinked several times, trying to adjust to the unfamiliar surroundings. The room I lay now was small, with wooden walls and a tiny window that allowed a little sunlight to pass through. Where was I? I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my body, making me groan. My hand immediately went to my neck. Then I remembered the strange strength that had taken over my body when I had touched my mark without even thinking, and suddenly was strong enough to fight them off. What had happened to me? Then the building collapsed right before my eyes and the ground shook beneath my feet before suddenly going still. I recalled running, hiding beneath a tree when I heard footsteps behind me. I had assumed one of the men had followed me. The last thing I remembered was everything turning black once the footsteps got even closer to me. I didn’

~Chapter 104~Kai’s POV What do you mean, Father?” I inquired. “I know the Elders are against her,” he stuttered. “She’s who the prophecy spoke about.” “Father,” I frowned. “If it’s about the one I heard about, that prophecy isn’t true.” He coughed lightly with a smile. “There’s so much more to it, Kai. And the Elders won’t let her be, so you have to protect her.” “She’s nowhere to be found, Father.” I sighed. “How far can I go to protect this girl?” “With your life, son.” His hands shook. “You owe her more than you know, as much as I do.” My wolf straightened. He was saying things I couldn’t fathom, let alone understand. “Owe her?” I asked. He gripped my hands tightly. “With time, you’d understand. But when you do, know your father did what he needed to do.” A tear fell from his eye. “Now go find her!” He released his hands from mine, gesturing towards the door. “Okay, Father, but—what—” Before I could say another word, he paused and looked towards the door. “What are y

~Chapter 103~Kai’s POV “I have more crucial matters,” I said, walking out of the hall. I had left the elders’ meeting in search of Elara. Yet nothing. Everything we gathered led us nowhere. Even though I knew she had been captured. But by who? The only pack I could think of was the Raven Pack, yet their Alpha had sworn he knew nothing about my Luna. The rage that boiled inside me awaited whoever had dared to keep my Luna away from me. Sitting on my sofa with a bottle of whiskey beside me, taking a gulp every time I felt a nudge that she was in danger. How could I save her if I didn’t know where she was? Elara was always putting herself in danger. She should be lucky I didn’t kill her before I realized my mate. This time, no one else would spare her, given there were people who wanted to get to me through her. “Mate needs us,” my wolf said. “You think I don’t know that?” I spat. “If only you could track her, we wouldn’t be here in the first place.” You’re not fully bonde

~Chapter 102~Elara’s POV “That’s impossible!” he exclaimed. “Stay away from me.” I sat up, panting heavily. “Who the fuck do you think you are to do that?” He paused before continuing. “Where did you get such strength from? How?” He stood, moving close again. “No, no, don’t come any closer.” I gathered courage, pointing at him. Yet he came right down, trying to hold my legs, but I hit him right in the stomach with my foot as he flew into the wall. It scared me to see that my legs could push a hefty man like that. “Who are you?” he asked. Before he could speak or stand fully, I had the urge to run away. But I wondered where to when I didn’t even know the way out of here, especially with the men who might have been surrounding the building. Suddenly, it felt like a voice nudged me to run this time. It was so strong, I thought someone behind was speaking to me. I stood up immediately, staggering at first, but then took a stance and sped through the big cell, moving towards

~Chapter 101~Elara’s POV~ I had gotten exhausted from the number of people who had been brought to me for a touch. In all of them, only a few had memory glitches like imaginations I couldn’t place. While the rest, their touch gave me horrific memories. The worst part of it was having to say it to the yellow-toothed man, knowing that judgement was awaiting them. Pity made me want to twist some of my words to favour the men I touched, but he wouldn’t let me be with his threats. I guess I wasn’t as bold as I always thought. Then I was tired. I desired rest, but they brought more. I groaned through gritted teeth. “Don’t fight it, Elara,” the yellow-toothed man said, coming closer. “You should be grateful you’ve been given a chance to try out your abilities.” He chuckled. “Do you think that Kai wouldn’t do the same if he knew what you were? In fact, that’s why he kept you in the first place for himself, even when he was threatened not to do so.” “Get away from me,” I moaned, st
