Se connecterDamian paced back and forth in front of the operating room, restless and filled with anxiety. He wore sky-blue striped pyjamas, a single flip-flop on his foot, and his hair was a wild mess, a clear sign he had just rushed out of bed."Damian! How is my best friend?" Melody called out, arriving breathlessly. She had travelled all the way from Herveaux to Nightraven to check on Elara."No news yet, but it's been so long! I've been here for hours, and still nothing. You've arrived, and there's still no word from the doctors," Damian replied, continuing his anxious pacing in front of Melody, who was beginning to feel dizzy from just watching him."Where are Daphne and Caspia? Who's watching the two of them?" Melody asked. Damian stopped abruptly, staring at her in shock. Melody held her head in disbelief at his reaction."Don't tell me you left the twins! Who's watching them, Damian? You're unbelievable!" Melody shouted, sprinting down the hallway to check on her nieces, knowing their fat
"I thought you'd never wake up," Elara said, leaning against Damian's shoulder as they sat by the lake, surrounded by willow trees within Nightraven. The darkness enveloped their surroundings, illuminated only by the gentle moonlight and the scattered twinkling of fireflies playing amidst the surrounding trees. This place was Elara's favorite spot in the entire pack house, where she could clearly see the beautiful moon and the magic the fireflies brought to the whole place."How could I not? I could never leave you," Damian replied, glancing at his Luna. He still couldn't believe he had marked Elara, solidifying their bond as fated mates. Sometimes, Damian still couldn't believe it was all real—that Elara was beside him, the woman he had long dreamed of loving freely."You know, when I was unconscious, you were the only thing on my mind." Elara looked at Damian as he spoke, staying silent and waiting for her Alpha to continue."It felt like I was in a long dream I never wanted to wake
Elara watched over her Alpha, who remained unconscious for over a week with no signs of waking. Her fear grew with each passing day, and she worried that her Alpha, Damian, might never wake up.But Elara remained steadfast, determined not to give up on Damian, even if it meant waiting for years."I just hope you wake up before I give birth," Elara murmured to her Alpha, holding his hand and watching his peaceful sleep. "Uncle Emmanuel said you'd only be out for a week, but it's been three days beyond that. I'm getting really scared, Damian. Please, wake up."Elara had tried multiple times to reach out to Xavier through the mind link, but Shiana, her wolf, couldn't sense her mate either. Shiana suggested that Xavier might also be asleep and unable to hear her wolf call."Shiana, do you think they'll take much longer?" Elara asked her wolf, hearing a slight whine from Shiana, who seemed unsure how to respond.'To be honest, Elara, I can't sense Xavier right now. Last week, I knew he was
A week had passed, and the two packs were slowly rising from the chaos wrought by Fiona and Algern. Most of the rogues were now in the Emperor's and the Nightraven's custody.Everyone was recovering after the storm. Despite the many lives lost and homes and livelihoods destroyed, more had survived and remained with their packs.However, it couldn't be denied that Fiona left a deep wound on every member of both packs. There were severe wounds that would take a long time to heal and be forgotten."How is Melody?" Elara asked Shouta, who was now watching over his fated mate. "She's eating, but she still hasn't spoken," Shouta replied, gripping Melody's hand tightly. Elara averted her gaze, tears threatening to spill down her cheeks again.Since the incident, Melody had been unreachable, lost in her thoughts, and always staring into the distance. Whenever she smelled smoke or saw fire, she would become hysterical, screaming and panicking. Sometimes, when she saw other men, she would hide
Elara slowly opened her eyes and saw Damian's face filled with worry. He was carrying her, her body weak and bloodied. Elara could feel the touch of the wind on her skin, indicating she was unclothed."Damian..." she called out to her Alpha, who only smiled at her. She wondered why Damian seemed to be in so much pain. When he laid her down on the sofa, she noticed the large scratch on his chest and the wound on his side."Good, you're awake," Damian said, his voice weak. Elara reached for his hand, but he suddenly collapsed to the floor, unconscious."Damian!" She tried to stand, but her legs gave out, forcing her to kneel. Her knees wouldn't cooperate, and she couldn't feel her feet."Luna!" Elara turned to see Calix and Emmanuel rushing in."Calix! It's Damian!" Elara shouted as Calix immediately ran to where Damian lay, checking his condition. He quickly grabbed Damian's wrist, feeling for a pulse. To his relief, he detected a faint heartbeat."He's still alive. I'll call for help
'Damian!' Xavier's voice echoed, their eyes both fixated on the thick blood seeping from Damian's wound. Elara had struck deep, forcing them to retreat. They both noticed something strange about Elara's behavior; it was as if she was battling herself, losing control with each passing moment.'What's happening, Xavier?' Damian asked through their mind link. His gaze locked onto Elara as Xavier tried to understand what was truly happening to her.'I don't know either,' Xavier replied. 'It seems like rage has consumed her completely. Her mind is clouded with nothing but a desire for revenge, driven to kill anyone who has caused her pain and sorrow in the past.''Could this be connected to her previous life?' Damian wondered, and Xavier shared his suspicion. They remained motionless, aware that Damian needed to shift forms to heal himself. However, doing so would leave him vulnerable, especially against Elara's unpredictable fury.Noticing that Elara hadn't charged at them as she had befo
Elara stood by Damian's office door, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Alpha, her soon-to-be boss. This marked the beginning of her journey as Damian's secretary, and she couldn't shake off the nerves coursing through her."Keep it cool, Elara, you've got this," she whispered to herself, her nerv
Elijah had been glued to his phone screen for quite some time, gazing at the pictures of him and Elara that he couldn't bring himself to delete. Every memory with Elara still lingered in Elijah's room; even her favorite flowers remained planted in the Forestheart pack garden.It's been a month sinc
Elara was left speechless by the beauty and spaciousness of the room Alpha Damian had given her, its simple design perfectly complementing her taste. Adorned with various plants and flowers, a white queen-size bed with lace curtains hanging, and facing it, a large bay window offering a view of the
"What went down here, Alpha Damian? Why's your office in such disarray? It's like a tornado swept through," Marie, the head maid of the pack house, inquired. Marie had been serving the Ashford family for a long time, so when Damian formed his pack, she joined Nightraven just like their family frien
