LOGINELARAI ground Fiora with a few more herbs and then took out the paste into a small bowl. Alpha Alaric still stood over my head like a strict supervisor.I glared at him from over my shoulder and pushed the bowl towards him. He took it and inspected the green paste.“ That’s it? ” He asked.I nodded quickly. “ Yes, Alpha Alaric. ”“ You are saying this will recover a wolf’s healing powers? ” His brows lifted, suspicion flickering across his eyes. “ Really? ”I nodded again but didn’t say anything to him. He continued, rotating the plate as if the paste would grow wings if he stared at it hard enough.After he was done trying to bring something out of it, his eyes went white. Taking it as a sign that he was mindlinking someone, I leaned back and stared at the room I was in.This room looked too big and too luxurious to be a guest room. The black curtains lined the glass walls, hiding whatever view lay behind them.They stretched from the ceiling all the way down to the polished dark fl
ELARAStars exploded behind my eyes. His lips were warm against mine and so sinfully soft—softer than I imagined when I was looking at him earlier. My breath whooshed out of my lungs as a strong current shot through my body. I stumbled back, completely taken aback but he circled his arm around my waist and pulled me back in. I fell on my heels, my lips lowering to his chin. My heart trembled inside my chest as my eyes flew open and landed on his Adams apple. He swallowed, making it bob. “ What was this?” He breathed, his free hand landing on my chin to crane my neck back, forcing me to look into his deep eyes. His gaze darkened. He leaned in, his nose brushing mine as he exhaled another warm breath against my still tingling lips. “ Do you like me or something?” He tilted his head, a smirk spreading across his deliciously warm lips. My heart missed a sudden beat. I shook my head, denying his claim but then something clicked in my head. Once, the Beta’s daughter Levadia s
ELARAI crouched down and ran my fingers along the small patch of grass, pretending so hard to be looking for some hidden herb only I could see.The hair on the back of my neck was raised because I could feel his intense gaze following every stroke of my fingers.Since he pulled me to this forbidden forest, he didn’t leave me alone for even a moment. He was standing over my head and was breathing down my neck like a dragon who was about to exhale fire on me at any moment.Sighing, I finally turned my head and looked up at his narrowed eyes. “ Alpha Alaric. ”“ Yeah? ” He took his gaze off my hands and glanced into my round eyes instead. “ What’s wrong? ”“ If you keep breathing down my neck like this, I won’t be able to focus. And if I don’t focus, I won’t find what I am looking for. ” I huffed, my knees feeling numb from crouching down for too long.“ So? What do you want me to do? ” His brows lifted.I felt like hitting my head against a tree. Why did he have to be so vigilant about
ELARA“ I am SUPPOSED to be loyal to him. ” I chuckled awkwardly, and my eyes glanced all around, trying to come up with something. “ but I am not? ”“ Why is that? ” He licked his lips and hid the smirk that was widening.“ It’s because…uhm… ” I trailed off and sighed. “ he overworks me! ”Alpha Alaric blinked, and his brows lifted. “ overworks you? ”“ Yes! ” I nodded quickly. “ he overworks me. He takes money from other people and brings them to me so I can cure them, too. He does this almost every day. Curing the Pack members is already a lot of work, but he lines up people, and I have to keep working and working and working. I get sick and tired. In the end…he doesn’t even… ”“ Doesn’t even what? ” He frowned.“ Doesn’t even pay me either, you know. Because he is my Alpha, he just gives me shelter and food, and some clothes. Nothing else. ” I sighed, my shoulders dropping as I twisted the lie, making it more and more believable. “ I have been working under these conditions for to
ELARAHis eyes narrowed on me, taking on a dangerous edge that was so hard to miss. And I felt my soul departing from my body, knowing what was coming next.“ Lucien’s Pack? ” He hummed, his lips curling into a malicious smirk.I hesitated for only a moment and nodded. “ Yes. ”A vein ticked in his jaw as he leaned back and spread his legs. My gaze lowered to the lump between his thick thighs. My cheeks flared, and my heart missed a beat.He was…big.I coughed slightly, forcing myself to avert my attention anywhere else than…that.“ Not going to explain anything, huh? ” His brows lifted as he tapped the armrest with his fingers.I shook my head, trying to regain some sense. I didn’t know why, but whenever this man appeared in front of me, I just started checking him out as if he was a piece of snack.I couldn’t seem to stop myself anymore. There was a strange heat bubbling under my skin, and it worsened with every encounter.“ I… ” I exhaled a heavy breath. “ I am just a healer in Alp
ELARAAfter he was done tending to my injuries, he put the bottle down and slowly placed my foot back on the bed. Instantly, I moved back, putting some distance between us.By now, I was just glad that my heart had not jumped out of my mouth at his shenanigans.“ Feeling better? ” He asked, putting the cap back on the bottle.I nodded, my gaze fixed on my lap as I refused to focus on his face when I looked like a ripe tomato.“ Good. ” Alpha Alaric hummed and went to take a seat on the wingchair again.I released a breath I had been holding since he came so near, and sat up straight. Thank Goddess!“ Now, it’s about time you answer some real questions, Princess. ” He added in a lazy tone.My breath hitched in my throat once more. I placed a hand on my chest and glanced his way, only to find him intensely staring at me.“ First of all, what’s your name? ” His head tilted, his brows lifting under his messy hair.My jaw almost hung low as I stared at his face, feeling completely dumbfoun
ElaraMy blood was pure magic.It could cure any curse in the world.Some said it was because I was a descendant of the Moon Goddess. Some said it was because I was simply blessed.But I knew the truth. It was a curse. Because my blood only cured the curses of people I didn’t love.Once I loved som
ELARAHe called a Pack doctor for me, and now she was examining my swollen foot. Her eyes narrowed as she leaned down on my ankle, looking at it like she was seeing something like this for the first time.I sighed, my gaze flickering towards Alpha Alaric, who sat in the corner in a wing chair, inte
ALARICThe saviour girl was not only a mystery. She was fucking perfection and a grave problem at the same time.I hated things I couldn’t understand. I hated loose ends, unanswered questions, and people who managed to get under my skin.And she was all three, just a lot prettier than I would have
ELARAI limped toward the forest, putting most of my weight on my right foot. Every movement sent painful throbs through my injured ankle.The distance was not far, but right now, it felt endless.My vision blurred with tears. I didn’t want to cry, but my body couldn't help it.I was not a warrior
