Elara's point of view

The entire night, I couldn't sleep. Break-up, promotion, a new life and the past ready to bite me in the ass. This wasn't enough that my ex-boyfriedn was manipulting me, my boss had seen me with him when I clearly told him I don't have a lover. This will be bad for my reputation in the office.

Hitching the ride to the glass building, I was looking like I was on ninth cup of coffee and a week without sleep. In reality, I’d slept maybe three. I no longer give a fuck about K

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA CEO   CHAPTER 147

    Elara's point of view My head had been hurting for hours.It wasn't the kind of headache that could be cured by sleep or food. It felt as though something was pressing against my skull from the inside, tightening with every passing minute. Sometimes the pain became so sharp that I had to close my eyes and hold my temples, waiting for it to fade.But it never completely did. I sat on the edge of the enormous bed, staring at the dark windows of the fortress. Clouds moved beneath them. That sight still made my stomach twist. I had no idea how high this place was, how far I was from Red Moon Pack, or how long Henry intended to keep me here.But there was one thing I knew. I couldn't keep sitting here waiting for someone else to save me."Nyra." I closed my eyes. "Nyra, please." Silence and my frustration grew. "You have been inside my head this entire time. You know everything I don't. You know Henry. You know what this place is. You know what happened before I was born. So please, just

    Aéron's point of view Lucian returned to the council room a short while later, closing the heavy doors behind him. I looked up from the ancient manuscript spread across the table. "What did you find?""A few of the allied Alphas have arrived," he replied. "Their chambers have been prepared, and their warriors are being settled in. The others should arrive shortly. The elders suggested that we allow everyone to rest before the meeting and schedule it for the earliest possible hour in the morning.""The earliest possible hour?" I repeated.Lucian nodded. "Yes.""No." I shook my head.He frowned."The meeting happens at dawn.""Aéron, some of them have traveled through the night.""I know." I pushed away from the table and stood. "But we don't know how much time Elara has. Every hour we spend resting is another hour Henry has with her. I want everyone in the meeting hall at dawn. Make sure the Alphas are informed."Lucian studied my face for a moment before nodding. "I'll make sure it h

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA CEO   CHAPTER 145

    Aéron's point of view The moment I stepped into the council room, I knew something had changed. The air was heavier than usual. Every elder was already seated around the long wooden table, their faces grim and their eyes fixed on me. Lucian stood near the window with his arms crossed over his chest, while Kreos was beside him, looking like he had been waiting for orders for hours.But the empty chair beside mine was the one that hurt the most. Elara should have been there. My Luna should have been sitting beside me, probably rolling her eyes at the elders whenever they became too serious. Instead, her absence filled the entire room like a wound that refused to close.I walked to my seat and remained standing."We received confirmation from the eastern territory this morning," one of the elders began. "Henry White's rogues attacked an allied pack during the night."My hands tightened against the edge of the table. "How many?"The elder hesitated. "Twenty-three wolves were killed. Seve

    Aéron's point of view The moment I stepped into the study, Lucian looked up from the maps spread across the table. Emily was sitting beside him, her fingers intertwined nervously in her lap. She had barely spoken since Elara disappeared. I couldn't blame her. If anything happened to Elara because I failed to protect her, I wasn't sure I would ever forgive myself.I shut the door behind me. "They need to know what happened."Lucian straightened immediately. "What did you find?""Nothing." The word tasted bitter. I dragged a hand over my face before taking the chair opposite them. "But Elara contacted me."Emily's head snapped up. "What?""Through the mate bond." For a moment, neither of them spoke."She managed to reach you?" Lucian asked.I nodded simply, recalling all the details she told me. "It wasn't clear. The connection kept breaking, but I heard enough." I leaned forward, placing my elbows on my knees. "She said she's inside a castle."Emily frowned deeply as she was utterly c

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA CEO   CHAPTER 143

    Elara's Point of ViewI had reached my limit. For hours, I had tried to make sense of everything that had happened to me. The crown. The castle. The royal family I had seen in my vision. Nyra's silence. Henry's impossible claims. And now this. He said Nyra was his mate. He said he had waited for her for centuries. He said I was somehow connected to a princess who had lived hundreds of years ago.Yet every time I asked Nyra for answers, she disappeared into silence. I stood before the enormous window, staring at the endless clouds below. There was nothing beyond them. No road, no forest, no pack. Not even Aéron himself. Just clouds and a terrifying drop.I wrapped my arms around myself. "Nyra."I called her out yet she have me this silent treatment for something I am not even responsible. My eyes burned. "One last time."Still nothing from her. I swallowed the lump in my throat. "You don't have to tell me everything. You don't even have to tell me about Henry." My voice trembled. "But

  • MARKED BY THE ALPHA CEO   CHAPTER 142

    Elara's Point of ViewI had lost track of how long I had been sitting on that bed. Minutes, hours or maybe longer. The castle outside the window remained covered in clouds, making it impossible for me to determine whether the sun was rising or setting. There was no clock in the room, and Henry had made sure I had nothing that could help me understand where I was.But I didn't need a clock to tell me that something was terribly wrong. My mind wouldn't stop. The crown. The royal couple. The little girl. The ancient kingdom. And Henry.I pressed my fingers against my temples. "Who am I?"The question escaped my lips in a whisper. Nyra remained silent. I closed my eyes. You know something. Nothing. Nyra gave me silence. My frustration boiled over."Fine. If you don't want to tell me about Henry, at least tell me why you're afraid of him!" No words from her. I stood from the bed. "Why did you go completely silent when he mentioned his name?"Still nothing. My breathing became heavier. Henr
