ELYSSIA’S POV

A faint, unfamiliar scent lingered around me as I slowly drifted towards consciousness. It was warm and distinct, carrying the richness of cedarwood, a hint of bergamot and something faintly smoky beneath it. I couldn’t quite place it, but it was everywhere—in the sheets, in the air, and close enough that every slow breath seemed to draw more of it into my lungs.

My eyes fluttered open slowly, though the room remained blurred for a moment, and I became aware of how unusually comfo

    Elyssia's POVI looked from Mara to the women surrounding her, then back at the state of my bedroom. My wardrobe was wide open, clothes had been dragged out and scattered across the bed, and several of my drawers had been emptied. Whatever Mara was looking for, she seemed determined to turn my entire room upside down to find it."And would you care to explain why you're going through my belongings?" I asked, closing the door behind me.Mara folded her arms, apparently unimpressed by my irritation. "Something of mine has gone missing, and I have reason to believe it's in here."I let out a disbelieving laugh. "And you thought the best way to find it was to break into my room and start throwing my clothes around?""We've searched the mansion. Your room was the only one left."I stared at her, struggling to understand the reasoning behind that statement. I had barely been in Black Crescent Mansion for a day. I knew next to nothing about the mansion, its staff, or the people living in it.

    Elyssia's POVKillian's words hung in the room, and Vaelisse's hand that was wrapped around mine tightened slightly as she glanced towards the doorway."Yeah, you interrupted us," I replied flatly without looking at him again.Killian's gaze slowly shifted to my sister, and his expression remained unreadable, but his tone turned almost excessively polite."Vaelisse, your visit has been appreciated. However, I'm sure your family will be expecting you soon."Vaelisse's eyebrows rose. "Are you asking me to leave?""I'm making sure you aren't kept from your family any longer than necessary."I almost laughed at the pathetic performance. A moment ago, he had been standing in my doorway as though he owned every conversation taking place in the room. Now he was pretending to be a considerate host.Vaelisse glanced at me before looking back at him. "I haven't finished speaking with my sister.""I'm afraid you'll have to continue another time." He turned slightly towards the corridor. "Silas w

    Elyssia's POVVaelisse sat cross-legged on the edge of my bed, watching me with a patience that was beginning to make me uncomfortable. She had been asking about the ceremony since she arrived, but I could tell there was more on her mind than the questions she had actually voiced."You actually didn't mean any of it, did you?" she asked at last.I glanced at her. "Mean what?""Calling Killian your love in front of everyone. Making it sound as though you had chosen him." Her voice softened. "You were trying to escape the bond, weren't you?"A humourless smile tugged at my lips. "It was the first thing I could think of when I saw everyone staring at me. Father was about to hand me over to Darian as though I were some agreement he'd signed, and Killian had just walked into the middle of the ceremony. I needed to do something before they decided my future for me again."Vaelisse lowered her eyes briefly. "I know." Her gaze drifted to the mark beneath my ear. "I just didn't expect things t

    Killian's POVElyssia had barely stirred after her breathing finally steadied. I had stayed beside her, keeping an arm around her when her body trembled and the silver light beneath her mark flickered against her skin. At some point, exhaustion caught up with me.I must have fallen asleep without meaning to, still holding her against my chest, and woken only when the morning light began to creep through the curtains.What disturbed me most was not that I had spent the night in her room. It was what had happened when I touched her mark. My wolf, who had never bowed to anyone, had fallen utterly silent, as though he had encountered something he recognised but could not comprehend. I had no intention of allowing that reaction to dictate what happened next.By the time I entered the dining room that morning, I had already decided how things would proceed.Silas stood near the windows, going through a report on his phone. He looked up when I entered, then glanced briefly towards the doorwa

It was warm and distinct, carrying the richness of cedarwood, a hint of bergamot and something faintly smoky beneath it. I couldn’t quite place it, but it was everywhere—in the sheets, in the air, and close enough that every slow breath seemed to draw more of it into my lungs.My eyes fluttered open slowly, though the room remained blurred for a moment, and I became aware of how unusually comfortable I felt. I was warm, almost completely enveloped in it, with my cheek resting against something firm that rose and fell beneath me.I frowned, still caught in the haze of sleep. The surface beneath my head was far too hard to be a pillow, yet it moved with a steady rhythm that made no sense. Then I became aware of the weight around my waist, a strong arm resting securely across me, and the warmth of a hand covering mine.Confusion gave way to unease as I tried to remember how I had fallen

  • Bound By The Blood Moon: The Alpha’s Forbidden Claim   Chapter 10 - The Mark reacted

    KILLIAN'S POVAt 2:13 a.m., my chest caught fire.I was on my feet before I knew I had moved, the chair crashing backwards, my hand clamped over my chest. It felt as though someone had fastened me with a rope and was pulling tightly at my chest. Then the pain turned into something worse.A pull.Violent and desperate, it was dragging me towards the ceiling, towards the second floor, towards one room.My wolf slammed against my ribs.Elyssia.He didn't growl the name this time. He begged it.I left the study and hurried through the corridor, following the strange pull until I reached the guest room where Elyssia had been taken. I pushed the door open without knocking and the door banged against the wall."Elyssia?" I called out.She was lying on top of the covers, still in the red dress she had worn to the ceremony, her hair spilling across the pillow like spilled ink. Her eyes were closed. For one stupid second, I thought she was only asleep.Then I saw her face.It was pale. Too pale
