ELARAMy eyes widen. What does he mean by I am next? I don’t even know how to hold a spear.I shake my head vehemently and mind-link him. “Kieran, no.”He chuckles and replies, “Elara, yes.”He holds out his hand for me to join him. I hesitate for a second before I slowly walk towards him.“What am I supposed to do?” I murmur as I look around.“Here.” He hands me his spear before collecting another one from one of the other men.Holding up his spear, he mutters, “Try to attack me.”“How do—”Before I can finish the sentence, he lunges forward, raising his spear to hit me.Instinctively, I raise the spear to block the attack.What? My eyes widen.“Guys, watch me,” he groans, and I know that he is not referring to me. He abruptly moves backwards, and before I know what is happening, he runs back towards me and leaps over me. Turning around, his spear is already against my neck. I freeze in place, my eyes widening in shock.“Catch your opponents off guard. That is the best way to win a f
KIERANWhat the hell is she doing here?“Alpha,” she calls again when she doesn’t get a response.I sigh and shake my head. “Come on in.”The door slowly opens, and she walks inside. The moment she sees me, a wide smile spreads across her lips. “Alpha,” she beams.“What are you doing here, Vivianne?”The smile on her face drops. “You still won’t forgive me.”She walks over to my desk and glances at the seat opposite me. “Can I?”“Yes. What are you doing here?” I press.“I am just here to congratulate you. You are finally going to be with who you want. And I am happy that you are happy.”“Is that it?” I raise my brow.She nods. “Yes. And... uhm... I was hoping I could treat you to dinner. To celebrate. And to also apologize for my unreasonable behavior all through the years.”My brows furrow as I blurt out without thinking twice, “No.”“Kieran.” She swallows and presses her lips together. “I know you are still mad about all the things I did to Elara before. But please, allow me to prop
KIERAN After Elara leaves my office, I mind-link Reid and Harold, asking them to come down to the office. If I had my way, I would've loved to carry her over my shoulder while I spank her ass. I'd take her to the bedroom, gently lay her on the bed, and fuck her like never before. Fuck her like she is mine. Only that she is mine. But I have work to do, and I have to wait for a while before I am able to do that. I have to find the one who wants her dead and get rid of him. What if he was a she, as Elara had suggested? What if the mastermind is truly a witch? We have to broaden our search. We cannot solely focus on Marcel when he might not even be the one. The door opens and Harold walks in, Reid following him. "Those kids cock-blocked me all through the night, and just when me and my mate finally had the room to ourselves, you called me here. Cock-blocker!" Harold grumbles as he walks in. "You can do a few hours without sex, Harold. Why are you sounding like a sex addict?" Reid
ELARA "Kieran..." I call as I rub his cheeks gently, making him look into my eyes. "It's okay. I am okay. I am not going anywhere," I assure him. I know he is angry at the thought of losing me. It warms my heart to know that he cares about me this much. It also saddens me that my life is in danger. I don't ever want to leave him. I don't want to leave my children. He wraps his arms around me, hugging me tightly and sniffing my neck like a predator. His muscles stiffen beneath me. "I don't want to lose you." A smile touches my lips as I continue to caress his cheek. "I know. You'll not lose me. I'll always be here. I am not leaving you. Unless you get tired of me. Only then will I leave the pack." "What nonsense are you saying?" he groans, his face scrunching up. "I am never going to get tired of you. It is till death do us part, Elara." His voice lowers as he continues. "Unless you get tired of me..." "No, Kieran. I am not going to get tired of you. I have always wanted you
KIERAN"What do you mean by what am I doing? I was just going through your book collection. Nothing harmful," Alpha Tobias Grey says as he walks over to the visitor's seat and offers himself a seat."Is there something you were looking for?" I ask as I close the distance between us, a frown on my face."No," he shakes his head. "Trust me. I love some good books, and I saw that you have a nice collection. That was why I was going through them to see if I'd perhaps find something nice that I haven't read before."I stare at him for a second longer before moving behind the desk and settling in my chair. I plant my elbows on the table and make a steeple of my fingers. "I am sorry for accusing you. I was just—""It's fine! Really. I'd also get suspicious if I found someone going through my books. It was my fault. I should have waited for you to arrive before doing that."I exhale sharply. "So, if I may ask, to whom do I owe the pleasure, Alpha?""I realized my son angered you the last time
ELARAAs much as I want to follow Kieran and know what Alpha Tobias Grey is here for, I have to remain here for my kids. I was only gone for the night, and they miss me this much. What if...I shake my head, deleting that thought from my mind. I am not leaving them in this world. Not anytime soon."Alright, babies, let's get back to our room," I say as I leap to my feet and hold their hands."Ah, finally," Harold sighs. "See you later, kids," he continues with a smile, waving at them."Bye." They both wave back at him."Auntie Isla, bye." They wave at her too."Baby babies. I love you," she beams."Love you too," they chorus."Mommy, where did you go? Did you go out with Daddy?" Adrien asks as we walk down the hall."Yes," I nod.A small frown creases his face. "And you didn't take us with you.""You had fun without us," Aria chimes in.I chuckle. "I am sorry, babies."They couldn't join in the type of fun we had. A blush creeps up my cheeks as I remember what Kieran and I did. I want
