ELARA'S POV"I'm sorry," she whispered. Again. And again. "I should have checked up on you sooner. I should have been here for you. I have failed you, Elara."“No,” I whispered, brushing her back gently. “You didn’t. I made this choice. You were only trying to survive too. You were trying to fix the mess I made for you and father. If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have gotten into an accident.""Don't say that, Elara. It wasn't your fault that you fell in love."Of course, it was my fault. Loving Damian, making sure everyone around me accepted him and failing not to see his betrayal even when it was happening right in front of me. All of it was my fault and I will keep paying for it for the rest of my life.We cried in each other's arms, sniffing as pain consumed us. Her tears soaked the back of my hospital gown and I'm sure mine soaked hers too.Then the door creaked open. Although I had lost my sense of smell and my memories were starting to get disorganised too—the doctor sai
Damian's POV I was waiting.Two hours passed and I was still waiting. After three hours, there was still no word from Ethan. I paced my room restlessly, the guards staring at me and constantly shifting uncomfortably. Something was wrong. Everything was wrong. Ethan wasn't the type to leave for hours without taking permission.He was efficient and prompt in the six years he has worked for me. Alpha Cadman introduced him to me to be my assistant, and we've managed to get closer since then. I trusted him so much and he was the brother I never had. He was always hopeful and full of smiles everytime he carried out the several duties I handed over to him. And now, he was missing. The realization made my heart clenched with suspicion. Where could he have gone? Was he taken or not? If he was taken, who had him? And why? Or did he leave the palace because I failed to listen to him about Elara and even threatened to have him locked up? But Ethan wasn't the type to cower—he was very courageous
Ethan's POV Pain. Sharp, immense pain throbbed from my side.I forced my eyes open but the darkness that welcomed me only made me close it back. The cold room was so dark that I couldn't tell what time of the day it was. Silver chains bound my wrists, and ankles down like I was some criminal that had gone feral.I remembered the ambush. Someone had come behind me while I was returning back to my room from the dungeon. A silver bullet was aimed at me, I barely missed it but it had grazed my side. The wound burned, refusing to heal.Footsteps echoed from the hallway making me flinch. Someone was coming for me. My captors, they were coming. Moments later, the heavy door slammed and then a torchlight lit up the room.And it was who I had suspected. Kael. And behind him, Lyra. Anger rose inside me."Well....well," Kael drawled, stepping into the room with that smug expression that made me want to claw his face off. "The palace hound is awake," he taunted.I pulled at the chains but it onl
Author's POV "Ethan," Kael murmured as he sat on the couch, a twisted smirk playing on his lips. "He's going to be our key. The perfect pawn in this perfect game."Lyra raised a brow as she sat down beside him on the armrest. "What exactly is our next move?"Kael chuckled darkly, warmth spreading across his heart as he envisioned himself sitting on the throne already. He had long wanted this. He had long waited patiently for this. And for the first time, his father, the Rogue king, was going to be really, really proud of his achievements. “Simple. We make it look like Ethan helped Elara with the murder attempt. That he had it planned all along—kill the assassin and the guard to cover her tracks. With Ethan disgraced, Damian won’t know who to trust anymore. When he finally kills Elara, he’ll be too blind with guilt and confusion to see what’s coming for him next.”Lyra smirked, crossing her leg in satisfaction. She can't wait to be Kael's Luna. And most importantly, she wouldn't have
Author's POVKael grabbed her chin roughly, slamming his mouth on hers, his tongue forcing its way inside her mouth. He kissed her recklessly, biting her lower lips like he was reminding her of her place. She didn’t resist. She moaned softly, letting him pin her against the wall.He didn't waste time. He dropped to his knees, his head buried between her thighs. Her tongue latched onto her pussy. She gasped, her back arching as he rolled his tongue over her clit, hot, and slick."Kael—""Shut up," he growled against her pussy. "You don't get to speak unless I permit you to."He pushed her against the wall, one hand gripping her throat, the other parting her thighs. His mouth devoured her with brutal precision, dragging muffled cries from her throat as her hips bucked toward him.Just as she reached the edge and was about to orgasm, he pulled back, chasing away her release."Turn around," he commanded, unbuckling his belt and slipping down his trousers, then briefs. His cock stood—fat,
Lyra's POV I blinked again and again. Did I hear him correctly?I stared at Kael in disbelief as he stood, naked and unbothered, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm like he hadn't just degraded me or humiliated me in front of his subordinate. My mind echoed his words. "There's nothing special left about you." My heart twisted from humiliation.I knew he was talking about fucking Damian, but everything I had done were per his orders. Every single thing. And now, he was using them against me? Like I hadn't been of benefit to him.I pulled the sheet tighter around me, my trembling fingers holding onto it like a lifeline, but he snatched it away from my grip. Was he insane or something? I wanted to scream down the whole place, maybe that would make him regain his sanity, but I couldn't, not with the guard still in the room. And because I figured out he was not insane. Kael had always been like that. I was just too stupid, too in love to see it.Kael turned to the guard, who w
Author's POV Alpha Damian stood stiffly by the physician's table, his arms crossed, jaw clenched tightly. The room reek of panic, sweet, blood and something sour like poison.The assassin lay still, lifeless and cold. He was already dead. But the guard was barely alive, weak under the physician's urgent, tender care."It's poison," the physician confirmed, wiping his bloody hands on a cloth. "Something strong, rare, and really fast acting." He then gestured towards the assassin. "Too late for him. But the guard.... I've administered an antidote. His system is still fighting it, but he's weak too."Damian couldn't believe his ears, the criminals under the palace watch had been poisoned by only God knows. "How the hell did this happen?" He asked, screaming in frustration at no one in particular.The physician leaned over the guard, tapping his cheek lightly. "Wake up..... Come on, you can't fall asleep." He couldn't fall asleep before the antidote starts working, because if he did, the
Damian's POVThe one hour ultimatum that I gave Kael felt like eternity. I couldn't sit still. I couldn't keep calm. Every second stretching slowly like a lifetime. The words of the guard echoed in my mind, clawing at my insides, coupled with the memories of everything I have done to Elara.My feet moved before I realised what was happening. I stormed out of my room, down towards the garage, Ignoring the guards and maids who bowed as I passed. I needed to see her. Now. I slipped into the backseat of the car. "To the hospital," I ordered the driver.He nodded, and obeyed immediately, pulling out of the palace. The ride to the hospital felt like it will never end. When we finally reached, I didn't even wait for the car to stop before I jumped out and made my way towards her room at the VIP section.When I got to the door leading to her room, I sighed heavily before opening the door slowly. And there she was. Elara. She sat on the hospital bed, her face looking healthy than the last t
Elara's POV "Alright, my Alpha. I'm more than happy to serve you tonight." The words spilled out of my mouth like silk, sweet and submissive exactly what I knew he'd like to hear, what I wanted him to hear. Pathetic. I even offered him my most charming smile, the kind that I knew use to captivate him in the past. The one that used to make his eyes darken with lust. And just like I expected, they did work. And he was also surprised. He hadn't expected me to say such words but I did anyways and I didn't regret it one bit. Because every word I said… every breath I took in his presence now… was a blatant lie. Inside me? I was screaming in anger. But then my wolf as always was silent at the moment—I realised she was torn between us—obviously wouldn't mind sleeping with her mate, but she was still bothered that I didn't want to do it. I turned back toward the room, the fake smile washing off my face the moment my back was to him. The moment I knew he couldn't see me and a deep fr
Damian’s POV “Elara’s belongings,” I said coolly, my hands tucked behind my back as I addressed the two maids standing near her door alongside with me. “Pack them. Move everything that belonged to her into my chambers. She’ll be staying there from tonight onward.” The maids exchanged a quick glance of uncertainty before bowing and entering the room. I leaned against the wall outside, waiting. After she left earlier, I was suddenly interested and aroused more than I could control. I needed to act fast before she changes her mind, and it was to test her too. To make sure she really meant well. And also to keep an eye incase she tries to carry out her initial threat of 'I will drag you down from that throne.' I don't want her fooling me again like she did with Ethan. I hadn't find out what really happened between them but deep down inside it feels like Ethan betrayed me. He was fooling me while working for her. Because it was the only explanation that made sense after I saw her bre
Lyra's POV Elara..... That sly bitch. She had barely let me step outside before she slammed the door in my face like any more minutes I spent in her room hinted that I was ruining something.... something important, something she was obviously hiding. I stood in the hallway for a breath longer than I should have, my eyes narrowed, heart racing with suspicion. That satchet… that damn pills on her table. I knew exactly what it was. Prenatal vitamins. I was taking the same pills for my baby recently, although it was a different brand. But hell, I still recognised them if I see them anywhere. Could Elara really be pregnant? Or is it possible for someone who isn't pregnant to be taking a prenatal vitamins? I don't think so. The thought made my heart skipped a beat. I turned on my heels, walking down the corridor. If she was pregnant, then who was responsible for it? Was it Damian? Or maybe....... Ethan? My eye widened at my thoughts, but I quickly shook my head in disagreement. I
Elara's POV Once Clara left, I sat down at the edge of the bed and rubbing my temple and sighing in frustration. I had just remembered that I said I was going to move to Damian's room. This was crazy. I didn't even mean to say that. But the word had left my mouth before I could stop them in a desperate bind to make him believe me earlier. I should have never said that no matter what. Sharing a chamber with Damian again felt like inviting a wolf into my den, one I couldn’t quite keep from growling, or biting. And that kiss… the memory of it alone made my stomach twisted with discomfort. And now? I'd be sleeping in his bed tonight. And I don't need any soothsayer to tell me what was to come next. It was crystal clear that he'd try to sleep with me. He’d use it as a test, a way to claim control and even if it isn't that, I could see I still have an effect on him. And the thought of his hands on me for the whatever reasons, the thoughts of his cock inside me after I had sworn not
Elara’s POV The moment I stepped into my room and the door clicked shut behind me with a soft click, I leaned against it for a long moment, closing my eyes and I had a bit of relief. My chest was still rising and falling from the aftermath of that kiss. I clasped my hands together tightly, trying everything I could to steady my breathing. The disgusting taste of that kiss still lingered on my lips. It was everything warm, aggressive, unforgettable. And it was everything I hated because of the way it had unraveled me in ways it shouldn't. Damn him. For one week I had been preparing for this. And I thought I was fully prepared to take up this role that I had perfectly crafted. This role of being calm, calculated, in control. But it turned out to be harder than I had expected. The moment he pressed his lips on mine, something within me cracked. Something old. Something buried. Something dangerous. Fuck!!! Even my wolf wasn't left out. She had been restless, jumping inside me since
Author's POVElara’s eyes glittered with unshed tears. “No. I still feel betrayed. But I’m choosing peace. Choosing to put everything behind me and move on.” “Bullshit,” Damian snapped. “You don’t forgive that easily. I know you, Elara.”Her lips curved into a slow, mysterious smile. “Maybe you don’t know me as well as you think.”There it was. The glint in her eyes. The spark behind the calm. She was playing a deeper game, and they both knew it. The only problem was—he didn’t know the rules yet. He can never know. His own tenure have run out and this was her own time to be in charge. Her games, her rules. Damian exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. He had no choice not to believe her for now. He knew pushing further was useless. "I don’t know what game you’re playing, but if you hurt yourself or get caught in something dangerous—”“I’m not here to hurt myself, Damian,” she interrupted coolly. “I’m here to stand by your side. To support your reign. Isn’t that what a L
Author’s POVThe grand hall which was filled moments ago with shock, suspicion, and false smiles eventually emptied. But the echo of the elders’ reluctant chants of “Long live, Alpha Damian”, still lingered in the air, thick like a aftertaste of a sour poison.Damian didn’t speak. Although he could barely hold himself from snapping but at the end of the day he waited until the heavy doors slammed shut after he gave the guards a quiet order to exit the room, leaving only two people in the room.Him. And her.Elara sat back on her throne, her legs crossed in such a graceful manner that made her give a type of aura that was impossible to ignore. Damian noticed it but he quickly shoved it away.Who would care about some aura in such a situation? He was literally burning with rage inside. She noticed him as he tried to force himself to look away from her and a faint, taunting smirk tugged at the corners of her lips.Interesting. It was good to know that she still had some kind of effects
Author's POVA week later.Although everything had died down temporarily, the elders still had their suspicions. They were equally keeping an eye on Kael, their eyes like that of an eagle watching, waiting for him to flop. And also on Damian trying to figure out the real reason why he let Kael go.For one whole week, Elara was nowhere to be found. She hadn't been seen in the palace. Everyone had expected that she was still probably angry at the Alpha for everything and coupled with the fact that justice wasn't exactly served.Today, Alpha Damian sat at the grand hall with Elders Seraphina, Selena, and a few other trusted members of the high circle. They were discussing about the pack matters and how to restore peace.Kael stood by silently near the back, arms crossed with a guarded expression on his face. From the look on the Elders face anytime his eyes met with them, he knew he wasn't exactly wanted here but he equally doesn't care.A sharp knock on the double doors silenced the roo
Author's POVAfter Damian watched Elara storm away like a raging wildfire, the evidence of her fury was still trailing behind her like smoke that can't be put out. Damian turned away slowly and made his way towards his room, his steps heavier than the last and his thoughts a storm.When he got in, he shut the door behind him, resting on it. He exhaled slowly, but the weight of his encounter with Elara didn’t lift from his chest. He felt bad. No. He felt worse.Of course, he had expected her rage. Prepared for the venom in her voice. But it didn’t make the blow hit any less. If anything it felt like he was broken beyond repair.He had agreed with her, and assured her that he would fight for Ethan. But he didn't. And now the guilt was already eating him whole and alive. Haunting his soul.She’s right, his wolf whispered in his head. 'You betrayed her. You betrayed Ethan.''But I had no choice,' he fired back. Not really. It wasn't his choice. He had to do it to save his child and that
