Elara

For a second I thought I was hallucinating.

Of every person I might have run into tonight, he was the last one I expected. Not after the silence. Not after he had simply vanished as if I were something he could set aside and forget.

“Elias?”

His name slipped out softer than I meant it to—almost pleading.

He turned fully, distraction giving way to surprise in an instant.

“Elara? What are you—”

I didn’t let him finish.

The second I knew it was really him, something inside me cracked open.

    Elara For a second I thought I was hallucinating.Of every person I might have run into tonight, he was the last one I expected. Not after the silence. Not after he had simply vanished as if I were something he could set aside and forget.“Elias?”His name slipped out softer than I meant it to—almost pleading.He turned fully, distraction giving way to surprise in an instant.“Elara? What are you—”I didn’t let him finish.The second I knew it was really him, something inside me cracked open. The frustration, the confusion, the leftover anger I’d been carrying for days all fell away, replaced by one overwhelming rush of relief.Before I could stop myself I closed the distance and wrapped my arms around him.He went still for a heartbeat, clearly caught off guard, then his arms came around me almost automatically.That was all it took. The breath I’d been holding left me in a rush.I hadn’t realized how badly I needed the familiar warmth, the solid steadiness of him.“Elara, what the

    Chapter FiveElaraI had braced myself for him to twist the knife out of my hand and turn it on me, or to throw out some cutting, arrogant remark. This—this completely blindsided me.For one fractured second everything inside me went still. Then it all rushed back at once, louder and faster than I could handle.His kiss was not soft. It was not careful.It was deliberate, controlled, as if he had already decided exactly how this would unfold and I was simply trying to keep pace.My first reaction should have been to shove him away. To remember the knife still gripped in my hand. To remember the humiliation of waiting hours, dressed up for a man who never bothered to appear.He was the reason I had brought the blade in the first place.But that instinct tangled with something far more dangerous—the very thing he had mocked—and I hated how accurately he had read me.My mind surrendered completely. Instead of pulling back, I faltered. My breath caught. A shiver raced down my spine.His m

    Chapter Four** **Elara**So this was the alpha.Because of course the arrogant, inconsiderate bastard also had to look like *that*.He stood completely at ease, as if reducing someone to tears was just another ordinary part of his day.I swallowed as I took him in—tall, broad-shouldered, dark hair slightly messy, jaw sharp enough to have been carved by the Moon Goddess herself. High cheekbones. Storm-gray eyes. A face that could make any woman forget her own name.His gaze lifted and locked on me for exactly two seconds before he dismissed me entirely.It stung more than I wanted to admit.I straightened my spine and lifted my chin. If he thought I would shrink after yesterday, he was about to be disappointed.“Well,” I said, stepping fully into the room, “if this is your idea of fixing things, you might want to work on your people skills.”One brow rose slightly. He took a slow sip of his drink with that same infuriating calm.“You’re quick to jump to conclusions,” he said, voice l

    Chapter Three**Elara**Strangely, yelling at the stranger left me feeling lighter. A quiet part of me knew it had been reckless, but the release still felt good.“Dad, don’t call him again. Don’t give that bastard any more respect than he deserves.”“Elara!” Mom’s voice rose in pure scandal. “Watch your language!”“It is what it is. I don’t want to see him. I’ll marry the next alpha you line up without even looking twice. This one can rot for all I care.”I walked out, leaving them staring after me as if I’d sprouted a second head.They had never seen me like this. Honestly, I hadn’t imagined myself cursing a stranger over the phone either. I just didn’t care anymore.And it felt surprisingly satisfying to finally say what I thought.Nearly a week had passed without a word from Elias, yet for the first time I fell asleep without worrying about him.That peace lasted exactly twelve hours.Breakfast the next morning was unnaturally quiet. Mom and Dad only spoke to pass the butter or si

    Chapter 2**Elara**The next few days blurred together in silence. Elias had vanished as if he’d never existed in my life at all.No messages. No calls. Nothing.The fear that I had truly lost him began to feel solid and real.“Where did you go just now? I asked which color you prefer,” Mom said, pulling me back.She held up two gowns—both elegant, both expensive. One soft blush pink, the other a deep, rich violet.“Either is fine,” I murmured, already distracted by the notification light on my phone. I crossed the room and snatched it up.It wasn’t Elias.He had never gone this quiet before. Never disappeared for days without checking in. Something had to be wrong.“Mom, Elias must be hurt. He might be in trouble,” I said, the worst possibilities already spinning in my head.She only laughed softly.“No, sweetheart. He left two days ago with his girlfriend for some weekend getaway.”“What?”She stepped closer and patted my back.“He called our beta asking about last-minute flights. I

    Chapter 1**Elara**I chewed the end of my pencil, staring at the form in front of me.“We don’t have all day, Elara,” Mom reminded me for the millionth time.“Yeah, I’m trying.”I had been stalling for weeks, but now she stood over me, demanding I fill out the compatibility questionnaire immediately.One question in particular irritated me. It asked whether I preferred my future mate to be “verbally expressive or the strong silent type,” as if I were customizing a piece of furniture instead of a husband.Ever since I turned eighteen, my parents had begun searching for a suitable alpha to strengthen our pack’s alliances.And truthfully, I wasn’t entirely against the idea.I finally wrote “Breathing would be a good start” in the margin. My mother did not find it funny.“Elara!” She used the tone that only had two settings: gentle and *I will love you into compliance*.“I filled it out,” I said, pulling the form back and scribbling over my note with something more diplomatic. “Open comm
