LOGINKael dragged in a deep breath and hunched over to exhale deeply once he was in the privacy of his room. He dragged in a deep breath and stared at his hand. They had traces of dried foam on them but it was nothing like the scar Elara was nursing inside the bathroom.He turned his hands to the back too. He had never been violent without cause, let alone be violent to an unarmed and weak woman. It wasn’t his type of thing to do, especially since it wasn’t his intention to hurt Elara. Ever.Finally, he ran his fingers through his hair and his hands down his face then he smoothened his hair before leaving the room.Activities were already bubbling in the floor below when Kael got downstairs with maids walking in and out of the dining room with different dishes. Harry was seated at the right hand side of the table next to the head’s chair. Seeing Harry, Kael joined him at the head of the table.“Morning, Alpha.” Harry greeted and ate a spoon of eggs. “Isn’t it a bright and fair day today?”
Elara had barely sunk her shivering body into the bathtub when the door to the bathroom opened. She quickly hid her body in the foamy water as her eyes searched the door.Kael slowly walked in and Elara, seeing it was him, pursed her lips and looked away, waiting for him to pull the glass door open and walk into the tub section but Kael remained behind the glass.“You endangered your life.”Elara shivered slightly under the water and lowered her eyes. Her body was almost stiff when she woke up with pain running throughout her body, hadn’t it been those maids, Leah and Kathy -as they told her when she asked- she wouldn’t have successfully made it to the bath.“You could have died.” Kael added when Elara said nothing.“I am sure you would have been ecstatic because that is what you want. I don’t know what you are complaining about.” Elara said without looking at him.“No.” Elara turned just in time to catch Kael shaking his head. “I don’t want you dead because then you wouldn’t be servi
Elara blinked open her eyes expecting to see her creaky old ceiling fan twirling slowly above her and creating more heat than air but instead, she was met with a chandelier with low lights hanging over her head as the frigid air bit into her skin.She pressed her eyes shut as if trying to dissipate the confusion and her eyes flew open as the events of the past few hours came rushing back to her head, her hands gripping the bedsheets.“I think you should sleep some more.” A deep voice said from the shadows.“Fuck!” Elara cussed as she flew back into the bed. Her brain quickly registered the voice and she squinted her eyes in the direction it came from. “You know, you are a disgusting creep! What are you even doing watching me sleep?”Kael shrugged, even though Elara couldn’t see him. “You are the one in my bed, in my room. I know you are hot for me, I can tell by the way you have looked at me all night, but there was no way I was getting into that bed with you in it. And if you were to
The cars rolled in through thick green gates with wild weed growing all over it and into the large compound with an even larger fountain in the middle of it. Elara kicked against the man on a buzz cut holding her as she was dragged out of the car. “Let her go,” Kael ordered as he got down from his car and walked to Elara. The man let her go and walked to where Harry was standing near Kael’s car. The driver had gone to park the car they came in at the garage.“You are a sick man!” Elara spat at Kael as he reached her.“Welcome home, Elara.” Kael turned slightly and looked around him. “Take your time to look around you, this will become your home for the rest of your life.” Elara shifted her eyes from Kael to the large building that stood before her. It was as she had seen in magazines and the tabloids before. The stone structure stood tall at about 25 feet tall covering about half the kingdom’s land size. High window peeked back at Elara from different angles, she was sure there wa
KAEL’s POVHeat prickled his skin the minute he set foot inside the large house. His nose scrunched as it picked up a scent. It was familiar, like something he was accustomed to but he couldn’t seem to recognize it. Shaking his head, he shoved the scent off his mind and followed two of his men farther into the house.He had not planned on making that journey that night but the latest information he learned at the last minute of the Bouchier couple theft, snapped at his last restraint causing him to travel through two kingdoms, through the storm down to the Bouchier resident. And now that he was here, he vowed to make the most of it, make them scapegoats so that nobody would ever think of crossing him again.“Search the whole house and drag out any living thing you see. Man, woman, baby and pets, I want all of them here at my feet.” He said in a low commanding tone. The two men nodded and began searching the house. A few minutes later, the men appeared with Valerie, Anthony and a sobb
Elara’s feet pumped into the ground, stomping into puddles of water and splashing them up as she ran into the main house. She was soaked from head to toe, her sneakers were probably spoiled but that was the least of her concern.The pain in her chest and the hurt she felt was nothing compared to the ruin of her favorite pair of shoes. Sean has been lying to her all these while. How could he? She thought, why did he string her along this long knowing he was going to marry another lady? And he kept her waiting this long only to break up with her in the middle of the night.Her tears kept streaming down and she swiped them off desperately. She was crying for a man that ruined her.How pathetic! Elara’s feet pleaded for her to stop, but she paid the pain no mind as she continued up the long driveway to the main house, she was almost there. She wouldn’t stop till she got there. Until she retreated into the safety of her old yet comforting bed.Water dripped Elara’s clothes as she stoppe
