Morgan’s POVIf Alora really thought I’d just walk away from her life over a little misunderstanding, then maybe she never truly understood the kind of man I am.The moment she turned her back on me in that lab, I knew I had two options: let her slip through my fingers again, or set everything else on fire and chase her to the ends of the earth. But I don’t quit, I don’t give up, and I will burn the whole damn world to get her back.The first day I told her, she thought I was being dramatic. But it was time to show her I meant every bit of word that came out of my mouth. I was a Blackwood, and words weren’t just words, they were law.But I couldn’t just disappear without putting things in place in my pack because if I did, then we would come back to ruins or a pack turned to shreds by rogue wolves and my enemies. I was an Alpha. I had to tie loose ends. Stabilize the pack. Handle the fallout from Violet’s banishment, and assure the council I was still the alpha king because, lately,
Alora’s POVI had finally scored an interview with a pharmaceutical company called NovaMeds Research Group, a medical research firm focused on regenerative medicine that bordered on cutting-edge science and ancient healing traditions.It was a long-standing company known for making breakthroughs in cellular regeneration and rare disease treatment, and that was the perfect place for me to jumpstart my career.I figured working as an intern in the company would give me enough flexibility to run my programme, learn from experienced hands, and grow in the field. My professor encouraged me to apply and even gave me a letter of recommendation. It was a start in the right direction even when I was still skeptical, since the facility only accepted five outstanding students each year from all over the world, and out of the five students, only two would be retained after the interview. It was one thing to be called for an interview, and another to ace the interview and get accepted. I was ov
Alora’s POVAs soon as we stepped out, I saw Jones standing outside with Selene and Leo.On seeing me, he gave me his widest smile and drew closer to envelop me in a warm hug.“I’ve missed you so much, Luna” he whispered in my ears, making me blush. The second I pulled away, I felt Morgan watching me.“Nice to see you again, Harry,” I said, turning my attention to him.He nodded ‘Likewise Luna”The word Luna grated at me, since I was not sure if that title would fit with Violet still in the picture, but I ignored the feeling and turned my attention back to the task at hand.Morgan’s eyes burned into me while the dean was trying to tell him something I wasn't sure he was listening to.He stood only a few feet away from me, hands in his pockets, his jaw clenching and unclenching.I forced myself to look away from the intensity of his gaze.A faculty member in a gray suit stepped up with a smile. “Mr. Blackwood, would you like a quick tour of our medical facilities? It would be an honor t
One Week LaterAlora’s POVWe arrived at the event center of the university dressed elegantly in our beautiful outfits. I wore a lilac purple floor-length gown that showed my curves from the waist down but flared from the thigh down. The tail of the gown was adorned with a soft silky tulle lace that was also used for the sleeves and also at the sides.My hair was parted at the side and bobbed with a few strands softly framing my face. I had on a long dangling silver earring, silver strap sandals and a silver purse to match the outfit. The only piece of jewelry I had on my neck was the wolf pendant Morgan had given me, and somehow, I noticed it went with almost all my outfits, so I let it hang on my neck.Phoebe also looked elegant in her bodycon blue gown that enhanced her already perfect curves. The dress had a high slit, and she accessorized it with a silver necklace, earrings and silver heels that were daring. It wasn't her usual go-to outfit, but it brought out her shape and mad
Alora’s POV“What do you want to know about Mike”? She asked, her voice shaking a little.“Are you in love with your brother”?At the question, her head snapped, and she pinned me with a glare.“What the hell Lo?” She frowned.“Am I lying or seeing things”?“You’re definitely seeing things”“Denial is a river in Egypt” I said, trying to lighten up the mood, but she didn’t smile. She looked frightened.Then I became serious and reached for her hand. She let me take it.“Hey Phoebe, I laid out my heart to you, and you helped me to feel better. Maybe I can do the same for you too?”She heaved a sigh. “Okay fine, I used to have a crush on my brother…no step-brother because saying brother sounds like I’m crazy. Actually, it was more than a crush. When he first came to live with us, I thought I was in love. I used to wait for him. Clean his room. Pretend I didn’t hear the girls and boys he brought home.” She paused and shuddered. I felt the tremor going through her.“I’m not proud of it,” s
Alora’s POVI sat in Phoebe’s room looking out the window, my mind drifting towards everything that had occurred recently in my life. The sun was shining, after so many days of rain, but I didn't feel the warmth of it. My heart ached for Morgan without my permission. I had gotten so used to him already that it was hard not seeing him or hearing his voice for a whole week. It's been more than a week without him and I felt like an addict who was going through withdrawal. And the nights were the worst. I hadn’t slept properly since everything happened, and most nights, I ended up crawling into Phoebe’s bed just so I would stop seeing him in my room, in the living room, and everywhere.The only reason I was still hanging out at Selene’s house was because I didn't have enough money to get my own place yet. I had gone through several interviews but none of them were good enough or could afford me the funds I needed to take care of myself and Leo and still complete my studies.Phoebe wa
