Damien's POV:

I hate the idea of Julian being here.

The moment I saw him at the university gates earlier, I knew he wasn’t here for anything good.

And now, seeing him standing in front of Elara, casually talking to her like they were old friends, made my blood boil.

I wasn’t even sure what they were talking about, but it didn’t matter. Julian always had a way of inserting himself where he didn’t belong.

Just like he did, two years ago.

I walked towards him, my fists clenching involuntarily.

“Elara.” I began, interrupting their conversation. “Step aside.”

She turned to me, her eyes filled with annoyance. “He’s discussing with me.” She said, crossing her arms. “It’s rude to come in between.”

That caught me off guard. For a split second, I faltered. Elara has always been soft-spoken, never confrontational. This wasn’t like her at all.

A small, mocking smile tugged at my lips. “I don’t care the least about you.” I said, my tone dripping with anger as I pointed at Julian. “I have unfinis

    Damien's POV:I forced a smile, though my patience was wearing thin. "Wonderful," I said dryly. "Truly, it’s like a dream come true.""See?" She cooed, completely ignoring the sarcasm dripping from my tone. "I knew you’d come around. This is perfect, Damien. A fresh start for us!"I stepped back, crossing my arms over my chest. "Let me stop you right there, Ava. There’s no ‘us.’ There never was. And I don’t have the energy to deal with you."Her smile faltered for a brief second, but she quickly recovered, her expression turning coy. "Oh, come on, Damien. Don’t be like that. We had something special once, didn’t we?"I let out a humorless laugh. "Special? If by 'special' you mean a complete disaster, then sure, let’s call it that."Her eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of irritation breaking through her facade. "You’re still holding a grudge," She said, her voice softer now, almost coaxing. "I can see it in your eyes. But I’m here to make things right.""You want to make things right?"

    Elara's POV: "Arghhh" Why didn't I just say No to him? Now I have to go with him on a date "Arghhh" I muttered to myself in frustration and annoyance "I only wanted to make Damian upset, I just... I just wanted to prove a point" I continued muttering under my breath as I picked my lipstick from my makeup kit. When I had said yes to going out on a date with him. I did it out of spite. I wanted to prove to Damian that I had moved on No! I wanted to prove to myself that I was over him. But who was I kidding, I was still deep in my feelings for Damian and now I feel terrible using Julian's feelings to my advantage. He seemed like a nice and sweet person, and the last thing I needed was to mess his heart up, just like how Damian had done mine. "What's with that ugly face?" Sabrina's voice burst through my chain of thoughts annoying me even more. She was watching me with an amused expression on her face. "Who are you calling ugly" I sighed as I stared at her. She offered

    Julian's POV: I had chosen a rooftop restaurant, one that overlooked the entire city, it was a romantic and beautiful sight but she had all my attention. “You look really beautiful tonight,” I said as I pulled the chair for her to sit. “Thank you.” came her response as the waiter came over, taking our orders. While eating, I tried my best to converse more with her. She was polite, engaging, and charming. And yet… Something felt off. Slowly, she leaned forward, narrowing her eyes at me as she bit her lower lips, making me feel giddy. “Why did you ask me out on a date right after you argued with Damien?” she asked I raised a brow, as I took a sip of my wine. “What do you mean?” “What’s going on between you both?” she demanded, looking as cute as an angry kitten. “Are you trying to use me as some kind of tool or pawn in your game to get back at him? Because if you are I do not...” A smirk curled at my lips. “Blunt and sharp like a blade. I like that.” “Answer the question,

    Elara's POV: As I watched Julian's car drive further away, a small smile formed on my face. “What the hell, Elara?!” a familiar voice startled me. Caspian I turned around to look at him with an expressionless look on my face “To what do I owe this unwelcomed visitation" I calmly said " and why sneak up on me?" “I wasn’t sneaking up on you. I came to see someone and then I saw you step out of Julian’s car.” I narrowed my eyes at him "Yes, why is there a problem?" "No" came his Stern reply and I nodded my head "Good" I answered and turned to leave “Elara.” His voice stopped me in my tracks. "Now what is it this time?" I turned around, frowning as I stared at him He clenched his jaw before he finally spoke. “Be careful.” “Be careful of what?” I sarcastically asked "Julian's car?" “Julian,” he responded a bit more seriously than normal “You can’t be serious.” “I’m dead serious Elara,” Caspian countered. “That person isn’t who you think he is. He’s not as compassionate as

    Elara's POV: I couldn't sleep all night as Caspian’s warning about Julian continued to echo in my head. I tried to push his words aside, but everything felt off. Caspian wasn’t the type to meddle in other people's matters, so what was he hiding? I shook my head as I stepped into the bathroom, I had more important things to worry about. My parents. Their lives were in danger and one thing I couldn't afford right now was distractions. And by distractions I mean Damian and Julian. By the time I had managed to arrive for werewolf history class, the lecture hall was filled with noise. I noticed Julian was sitting comfortably at the front, calm yet Charming. He seemed more relaxed than how he had looked last night when he dropped me off at the hostel. While Damien stood at the front of the room, his intimidating aura filled the air. He looked every bit the Alpha–strong, cold, distant. The moment his eyes met with mine I felt a strange pull and I'm sure he felt it too. I stared at

    Damian’s POV: I tried so hard to ignore them But I couldn't stop myself, not when I had seen them so close to one another "Urgh, Elara" I grunted in frustration as I headed towards my dorm. By the time the sun had set I was too exhausted to move a finger, I was too angry to think about anything else that wasn't Elara... I lazily dragged myself through the morning classes, forcing myself to act like everything was fine like I hadn't seen the woman I loved with someone else, and not just anyone. Julian "Wow," Caspian said as I approached him. "What happened to you? You look like you were hit by a truck." "I guess it would have been better if I was" I muttered, slumping into the chair across from him. Caspian sighed "Really? The great Damian woke up feeling like a piece of Shi.." "Yes, I guess" I Sternly said and her sweet smell flooded my senses. Elara was nearby Caspian leaned forward, his voice low enough for me to hear him. "She's by the door, and let me guess You saw Juli

    Elara's POV ~ "I don't need your protection and good night", I rolled my eyes, walking away but then he grabbed my wrist making me halt. "Stay behind me", Damien's hushed voice filled my ears, ushering me to stay behind me. I hesitated glancing around, the cold night was eerie and my eyes darted to red eyes lurking in the dark. My nose catches on to a whiff of scent. "ROGUES!", My heart pounded in my chest. It lunged toward me but Damien shielded me with his huge frame blocking me from the attack. I gasped, my heart hammering against my ribs as the wolf's claws sliced at the T-shirt Damien had on. Before I could catch up on what was happening, Damien's enormous wolf blocked my view. The two wolves lunged at each other at a fast speed, my knees going numb, my mind not processing what was going on anymore, I wanted to shout for help but my throat felt dry, I was opening my mouth but no words came out. The air was filled with clashing and tearing of flesh, the rogue was too fast

    ~ Julian’s POV ~ My heart hammered against my rib cage at the sight before me, the rogue almost sinking his fangs into Elara's wolf. I jumped right in front of her, unnoticed by the rogue; my claws dug into its stomach. The rogue let out a deafening cry, his golden fleck of eyes travelling down to Elara behind me as he sprinted, the blood trailing out of him. “Don't chase”, Elara's tiny voice whispered; my gaze darted towards her tear-stricken face. She must have had a shock. I hadn't realized I was growling, my wolf was just on the surface to shift and chase. The wage of war between me and the rogue ended so faster than I planned and that was because he had grown weak after taking it all on Damian. It took me every ounce of my self-consciousness to not touch her and carry her to the clinic. Her shoulder is dripping with blood, but her wolf is doing a great job healing her. I looked at the cranny of my eyes as she took a slow step toward Damian, who was sitting on the floor, his

    Damians POV~I was shocked when Elara’s phone rang, destroying the fragile moment between us. One moment, we were standing in front of that ancient scroll, our eyes locked, her question — “What do you mean?” —hanging unanswered in the air. The next her face went pale as she picked up the phone, and her voice quivered with panic. “Mom? Is everything okay?” I looked at her speechless, as her expression fell apart, and her notebook fell from her hands to the floor. Before I had time to react, she said “I’ll be there” and ran out of the site.I didn’t think. All I did was run after her, my heart racing, my wolf demanding I run faster.

    Elara's POV~The bus ride to the archaeological site had been long and bumpy, the hum of the engine doing little to soothe the discomfort I felt in my chest since Damien’s outburst back on campus. I had stayed away from him and from Julian alike, sitting near the front and burying my nose in a book I hardly read. From time to time, I’d sense their stares — Damien’s and Julian’s playful, mocking — and I’d ignore them, taking in the blur of tree after tree outside the window. When we reached the site — a vast stretch of ancient ruins set amid a wooded valley.The professors gathered us into a clearing, where they explained the assignment in firm voices. We were to disperse throughout the site, examine the artifacts and relics strewn around the ancient stones, and write down everything we could about what we saw — their history, their use, and their importance.I embraced the assignment, thankful for a distraction. I’d selected this course for a reason, well before my reincarnation. The

    Damien's POV~A moment had passed before I panicked, as Elara’s voice sliced through the haze of our kiss, her question soft but concerned. “What do you mean?” My heart slammed, the truth hovering at the tip of my tongue—all the abuse I’d swallowed, the mate bond, that I’d been reborn, the love that haunted me. I opened my mouth, ready to let it all pour out, to tell her how she still owned every part of me. But before I could say anything, she shook her head, defiance flashing in her eyes. “I don’t want to hear it,” she said, her tone resolute, and then she turned and left, shutting the door with a click behind her.I stood there in shock, my breath trembling, while regret flooded through me. I had come so close to opening my heart, to telling her I loved her, that I never stopped loving her. But that alone served as, a stark reminder that the timing wasn’t right — that maybe it never would be. I sighed and sat down in my chair and dropped my head into my hands. I’d resolved to conf

    Elara's POV~I couldn’t ignore the feeling that stuck with me during class, an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach that wouldn’t let go. Julian’s words from earlier kept echoing in my brain — his confession, the way he’d wove together his fingers with mine and asked about a relationship, how honest his voice had been, how it had taken me aback.I wanted to dismiss it, to convince myself it didn’t mean anything, but deep down, I knew otherwise. He was practically about to lay his heart out on the line, and if Damien hadn’t interrupted with that loud, commanding outburst, I might’ve had no choice but to face it head-on.As much as I hated to admit it, Damien’s interference had saved me from something I wasn’t ready to have. And that only made me feel worse.I found myself sitting in the back of the lecture hall, my pen tapping restlessly at my notebook, hardly hearing the professor over the chatter in my mind. Damien wasn’t teaching today, thank the Moon Goddess, but it didn’t matte

    Sabrina’s POV~I was on my way to class when I saw them. Elara, Damien, and Julian, standing in the corridor.My gut twisted at the mere sight of them and I ducked behind some trees before they could see me, my heart racing with both curiosity and dread. I shouldn’t have cared. I should have just kept walking, head high as if they didn’t mean a thing to me. But I couldn’t.Not when Damien was here, with his eyes locked on Elara as though she was the only thing in existence. It made me sick — sick with jealousy, sick with longing, sick with the inescapable truth that the man I loved loved her.I bent down, trying to hear what they were saying over the sound of the leaves rustling.Elara had shivered away, leaving only Damien and Julian at odds, their words cold and scorching. I couldn’t hear every word they said, but I heard enough — Julian teasing Damien about Elara, Damien’s voice low and furious as he told Julian to stay away. My chest tightened. Damien’s lecture wasn’t just abou

    Damien's POV~As soon as I heard Julian’s words, I panicked from where I was standing.I could tell just what he was about to say to Elara. Something to sweeten his way into her life, something about being, “together” talk, something about her “freedom” since she hadn’t found her mate yet. My blood was rushing, I could hear it in my ears, and I was unable to refrain myself from shouting across the corridor, my words ringing in the air, unarguable. “What on earth are you still doing there?! It’s time for class!” I had purposely added that part about him being a teacher just to hide my desperation, but I was shaking inside. I was scared. I couldn’t allow him to finish that sentence. I couldn’t allow him to ask her to be his, not when every fiber of mine still shrieked that she was mine.What I did not expect was Elara’s reaction. I’d steeled myself for her to turn on me, to scold me for interrupting, even to agree defiantly, about whatever it was Julian was proposing, just to spit

    Elara's POV- I was so angry that I found it difficult to think straight. The sight of Damien standing in his office like he had any right to judge Julian, and to caution me on who I should and should not trust. Him, of all people!The man who’d broken my heart in my previous life, the man who had swallowed up Sabrina’s lies and never questioned his judgment. A man whose hands are stained with betrayal. How dare he call someone else a bad person? I left his office that day, my chest heaving, head full of messy anger and confusion. Sadness even.An ache that wouldn’t go away.The following day, I didn’t attend his class. I couldn’t stand the idea of sitting there, feeling his gaze on me, listening to his voice go on about pack dynamics as though he wasn’t the one who had shattered my world. Instead, I remained in my dorm and paced the floor, replaying our fight. His words rang in my head, “He’s not a good person” and I felt like screaming.Who was he to talk to Me? But as I thought mor

    ~Damien's POV-I hadn’t felt this miserable in weeks.Not since Elara caught me with Sabrina and everything went to hell. The rumours on the campus message board I saw about me dating Sabrina had only made matters worse, and I hadn’t slept well, tormented that Elara had read them.All I wanted was to visit her, to speak with her, to discover some way to bridge the gap between us. But she’d also been avoiding me like I was some kind of plague, always rushing off to this or that class or meeting, leaving me with nothing but passing glimpses of her in the halls.So when I entered the lecture hall that morning to teach, my heart skipped at the sight of her seated near the back, her head bent over a notebook.As I stood at the podium, I could see her, her dark hair spilling over one shoulder, her brow knotting as she concentrated. She was gorgeous, even with that closed-off look she had on now, the look she’d not had in our past life when she’d looked at me like I was everything to her. I
