ELARA

We walked through several long hallways before reaching the same double doors I had entered earlier. The guards opened them as soon as they saw Devon beside me.

The King was sitting exactly where I had seen him before. He looked up from the papers in front of him.

“I heard there was some excitement in the east corridor.” His lips curled into a vicious smirk.

“One of your people attacked her.” Devon's voice was hard.

The King looked at me. “And I assume he is no longer a problem.”

“No.” D

    ELARAI always wondered what the first memory of a person could be.As people grew up, they didn’t have memories of when they were newborns or even toddlers. But the long book of memories had to have a beginning, right?Today, I was watching that beginning.The first memory was supposed to be a person, or the memory of happiness, delight, or joy.But my first memory was of despair—Pure, unadulterated despair.It was the memory of pain, and screams, and tears. It was like my blood was boiling from inside, and my small body was convulsing on the floor as I screamed to be free from the agony.“ How can you punish a child? ” A woman was shouting beside me in the darkness of the room.Through my tears, I saw her face lifted towards the ceiling, as if she was trying to see something beyond it.“ How can you punish a child?! ” She was screaming, equally as hard as me.Another whimper escaped my mouth when the blood in my veins kept heating up, until my skin broke and blood started flowing fr

    ELARA“I am tired of people deciding what I should know and what I should not know,” I whispered, my voice barely carrying across the room. Devon's expression softened slightly as he watched me. “Knowing everything is not always worth the price. ”He was not trying to frighten me anymore. He was genuinely warning me, and somehow that made the decision even harder. If Devon, who had every reason to want answers about me, was telling me to stop, then perhaps there really was something dangerous waiting behind those memories.“Maybe not.” I slowly rose from my spot, my legs still slightly unsteady beneath me. “But not knowing has already cost me enough. I need to know what really happened, Devon. I need to know who I was before everyone decided that I was better off forgetting.”He took a step toward me, his brows drawing together as though he could already see the choice I was about to make. “Elara—” “I need to know,” I repeated, more firmly this time.My gaze dropped toward the small

We have more to discuss.”This time, I obeyed. I lowered myself into the chair on the other side of the table, but I couldn't relax. My body was still tense after what had happened in the hallway, and every few seconds my fingers moved toward my throat without me even realizing it. The bruises left by the vampire were still sore, but somehow, that was no longer the thing bothering me

    ELARAI threw myself sideways, my shoulder hitting the stone wall so hard that pain shot through my arm. I barely managed to avoid his hand as it cut through the space where my throat had been only a second ago. My heart was pounding wildly, but I did not give myself time to panic. My eyes landed on the heavy candlestick sitting on a small table beside me, and I grabbed it before swinging it toward his head with everything I had.He caught my wrist before I could hit him. His fingers closed around me so tightly that I cried out, and the next thing I knew, my back slammed against the wall. The air rushed out of my lungs, leaving me gasping as he leaned closer. I kicked his knee as hard as I could, hoping it would be enough to make him let go.It was not. He barely moved.Fear rushed through me, but I refused to stop fighting. I twisted my wrist, scratched at his hand, and tried to push him away, but he was far too strong. His fingers suddenly moved from my wrist to my throat, closing a

    ELARAI noticed it while washing my face at the small basin in the corner of the room. My fingers brushed against something raised on my skin just below my ear.At first, I thought it was a bruise left from the fight at the house. My whole body was still sore from everything that had happened, and another bruise would not have surprised me.I leaned closer to the mirror and tilted my head to get a better look. The moment I saw it properly, my entire body went still.It was not a bruise.A half moon with three stars was marked on my skin. It was dark and clear, and there was no way it could have appeared there by accident.I slowly touched it with my fingers, my heart beginning to beat faster as I realized what I was looking at.A mate mark.It was a mate mark on my neck.Alaric had marked me.I sat down hard on the edge of the bed because my legs suddenly felt too weak to hold me up. My hand stayed over the mark as if I could somehow hide it or make it disappear. But deep down, I alre

    ALARICThe trees blurred past us in the dark, and none of it mattered. Not the branches whipping against my shoulders, not the warriors keeping pace on either side of me, not the ache still lingering deep in my ribs from the fight. All of it sat somewhere far behind the only thought that actually held any weight right now.They had her.Dale ran a few strides behind me, breathing hard but steady. Behind him, six more warriors moved in formation, weapons strapped tight, faces set in the same grim determination I imagined was carved into my own. None of them had said much since we left the Packhouse. There was not much left to say. We all understood exactly what we were walking into, and none of us particularly cared.I thought about the ribbon still folded into my pocket. I thought about the way she argued with me over things that should have terrified her into silence, the stubborn tilt of her chin whenever she refused to back down from something she believed in.I thought about the w

    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

    ELARAI was going with the flow, just letting this man drag me to his Alpha. As we neared the big mahogany double doors, my feet suddenly came to a slow halt.A strange scent hit me, taking over my mind, and making me sniff the air as if I was desperately trying to know where this scent was coming

    ELARAMy head was pounding with a terrible headache. I groaned under my breath and pushed myself upright. The floor underneath me was so hard that it felt like the stones might dig into my flesh any moment.Still groaning in pain, I blinked open my eyes. It didn’t take much time to adjust my vision

    ALARICPain was the first thing I felt.It crawled through my body slowly, like something alive—digging into my bones, wrapping around my ribs, pressing against my skull. Every breath burned. Every heartbeat felt wrong.But it was not unbearable. It didn’t feel like I was dying.Then, I felt the su
