LOGINElara's POV "What do you mean?" Draven asked, sitting up straighter.I bit my lip, trying to recall the face. "When they attacked us. One of them. I swear I've seen him before."Kael's hand tightened around mine. "Where?""He worked for my dad," I said slowly, the memory sharpening. "He's been at the company for years. I can't remember his name, but I know his face. His voice too."They exchanged a look, one of those silent conversations that always made me feel like I was on the outside looking in. They were communicating through mindlink."Don't worry about it," Kael said, his voice firm. "We'll get to the bottom of it.""But—""Trust us," Draven interrupted, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You just need to rest. We'll handle this."I wanted to argue, to tell them I could help, but the exhaustion was taking over me. So I nodded, letting my eyes drift shut."Sleep, baby," Kael whispered, his lips brushing my forehead.I did.The next morning, I woke to the feeling of eyes o
Draven's POV I returned empty-handed, looking quite frustrated. My car had vanished without a trace—no signs of struggle, no broken glass, nothing. Just gone. Someone was deliberately screwing with us. I broke through the trees, already calling out to her. "Elara, I couldn't find—" I froze. She was on the ground, crumpled like a discarded doll. My heart lurched violently in my chest. "Elara!" I rushed to her side, dropping to my knees. "What happened? Did someone attack you? Talk to me!" She didn't respond. Her face had gone completely pale, drained of all color. She just kept pointing weakly at something on the ground, her hand trembling violently. "What is it? What are you—" Then I saw something written right there with something that smelled like blood and was definitely blood: WE'RE WATCHING Why the hell was Rowan doing all these? I grabbed her immediately, hauling her up into my arms. "We're leaving. Now." "Draven, what does it mean? Who's watching us?" Her voice ca

Kael's POV I pulled out the photo that Draven had sent to me the other day and saw that it was very clear. This was Mason's. I dropped the phone and sighed and just then, my mind drifted back to last night.To Elara beneath us, between us, around us. The way she looked with Draven's tongue buried in her pussy and her mouth wrapped around my cock. The sounds she made when we both filled her, stretching her, claiming her.Fuck. I couldn't wait to see her with our mark on her, fully claimed by us.My cock twitched at the memory. The way she'd taken us both, no hesitation, no fear. Just pure need and trust.But something else nagged at me. Something I'd noticed right before I buried my cock in her throat.Her eyes.They'd changed. Just for a second, a flash of something different. Not the warm brown I was used to, but something brighter.I'd dismissed it as the lighting, the shadows playing tricks. But now, in the cold light of day, I couldn't shake it."Fuck," I muttered under my breath
Elara's POV The teasing look on Kael's face told me everything I needed to know. He was messing with me.Not on my watch.I grabbed his arm and dragged him away from the crowd of employees who were still watching us with wide, curious eyes. Their mouths hung open like they'd just witnessed some kind of scandal, and honestly, they probably thought they had.Draven chuckled, clearly entertained by my panic."Alright, everyone back to work," Draven said, his voice cutting through the murmurs. "Show's over."The employees scattered like roaches when the lights turned on, returning to their desks and pretending to be busy. I could still feel their eyes on me as I pulled Kael toward the elevator.The moment the elevator doors closed, I whirled on him."What the hell was that?" I snapped, my voice sharp. "Were you seriously about to tell everyone that I'm your—""My secretary?" Kael interrupted, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "That's what I was going to say, Elara. My secretary. What di
Elara's POVHara stopped mid-strike. Her opponent crumpled to the ground and she sent one last brutal kick to his ribs before turning toward me.She walked with this infuriating confidence. Her hips swayed like she owned the entire field. Her lips curved into a smirk that made my blood boil."So the little puppy finally grew some teeth." She stopped right in front of me. Close enough that I could see the scar cutting through her eyebrow. "I'm impressed you can even stand after what happened last time. Or did you already forget how easily I put you on your ass? Do you want to be reminded to badly?"My jaw clenched. The memory of that hit burned through me but I refused to look away."I remember.""Then you should also remember that you don't belong here." She looked me up and down like I was something she'd scraped off her boot. "You're weak, pathetic. A common wolf pretending to be something she's not.""Again, I'm a lycan.""I don't even feel your wolf. You don't have one." She laug
Elara's POV The cab driver was good. He wove through two lanes, cut behind a lorry, and when I looked back the third time, the black car was gone, swallowed somewhere between the traffic and a red light it must have caught. I let out a breath so long it felt like it had been sitting in my chest
Elara's POV I stared at the screen for one more second before picking up."Dad.""Elara." His voice came through the way it always did when he was trying to hold his worry together and I just knew it. "Are you okay? I need to hear it from you.""I'm fine," I said. "I promise.""You don't sound fin
Elara's POV The word "no" shot out of me before I could even think twice, and both of them stared at me with such identical expressions of surprise that I almost laughed despite myself. "Ashamed of us?" Kael asked, his icy blue eyes not leaving my face. There was no anger in it, just a look of wo
Kael's POV I felt Rowan's alpha aura roll off him in waves and almost laughed. It was like watching a child throw a tantrum in front of an adult, all noise and bluster with nothing substantial behind itHis pheromones were strong enough for any regular werewolf, yes, but against a lycan king?
