Elara's POV

I nod.

“My fated mate is already having a hard time. I don’t want to add to it.”

“Is he?” The old gardener looks at me. “Why is that?”

I give him a small smile, kicking my feet.

“Let’s just say I’m not the most suitable of mates for him. But he seems to like me. I’m grateful for that much, at least.”

I don’t know why I’m telling him so much. Maybe my heart is so heavy that some of the hurt is spilling out.

    Elara's POV “Supposed to be,” Jason snarls. “And I was talking to your father, not you. Your Majesty, please!”“I agree with Alpha Marrock,” King Edward says, his voice uneven. “There’s no need to humiliate the girl. Take her to her room.”“The ritual has to be completed!” the white witches protest.“And it will be,” the king responds sharply. “But not here. And not till she recovers. She looks half dead. I do not appreciate this. Take Miss Ashwyn to her room now!”Someone is picking me up, but I don’t know who it is. Jason’s face swims into my vision, and I use the last bit of my strength to whisper weakly to him, “Kill me. Please.”His eyes soften, and I see the pity in them. “I can’t do that.”My arm falls limply to my side.I feel myself fading in and out of consciousness, my awareness declining. At some point, there’s a bed underneath me. A wet cloth is being rubbed gently across my face. I can hear someone sobbing.Why?Why waste tears on me?I feel the warmth of healing magic,

  • Fated to the Crowned Wolf   Chapter Fourty one

    Elara's POVMy heart is aching so badly that it feels like it will collapse. There are no tears in my eyes. I’m trying to gather myself, but I don’t know how. I’ve been so badly shattered that it’s as if I’m standing in an eternal darkness, shards of the person I used to be scattered around me in a thousand pieces.“I asked you a question, Prince Lucien,” King Edward demanded. “The royal family has always taken fated mates, if you recall. I hope you have a good reason for choosing another female as you intended.”My eyes lift from the floor to look at Lucien as everyone waits for his answer. He still has the same face, I muse to myself dully, the same handsome features, those startling green eyes that held so much love and laughter in them.Yet, I don’t recognize the man standing a few feet from me. I’m looking at a stranger right now, as he finally meets my gaze. There is not an ounce of affection in his eyes, none of the warmth that always existed when he looked at me.No. All I see

I’ve never been given an opportunity to practice that. Imagine being told your whole life that you deserve to die for merely breathing. Then tell me I should be confident.” My outburst has made me start shaking, and I rub my hands over my face to try to stop. My body feels cold. “Sorry. I guess you caught me at a bad time. I should go. I’ll send someone to help you. I’m so sorry.”When I move to stand up,
