The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 034_The Circle Breaks
Elora’s POVDarius wanted to get words out of my mouth, but I’m so glad he failed. He tried to get smart, but I saw his hand before he even stepped into the room. He was going to spin the laws against me, but swearing with the protector vows was the only way to stay safe.With the old protector vows, I’ve kept myself safe from any shady action that Darius or anyone might want to take against me in the name of the council. That assurance of safety was more important to me than anything. And amongst all things, it prevented me from being ensnared by my father’s legacy because of some hideous demons. Behind me, Lloyd’s pleas fell on deaf ears. If anything, Darius is angry that I beat him in his own game, and the card he pulled was to make me feel bad. He knew I should be released outrightly, but he thinks that keeping me in the custody of the council is going to make me crack. Well, he’s in for a rude shock.The echoing footsteps behind me came to a stop and a hand reached out to
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 033_Men At The Council
Lloyd’s POVElora was looking at the three men now, and from her blank face, Darius was pushing her to her limits now. She had to do something to get herself out.It made sense why Darius was part of the council. He knew something, and he was intent on forcing it out of her.Elora also seemed to know something too. She didn’t answer any of the questions directly. She was clever, and the way she handled the questions today said so much. She knew something, and it was that none of these people were on her side at all. All of them were looking for something, and whatever they were looking for, she had it.The challenging glare between Elora and Darius continued for a moment later before Darius spoke.“Are you going to start talking now,” he growled. “Or are you going to be needing a little help doing that?”Elora’s voice was sharp. “I have told you the truth, and nothing but the truth.”“You have to swear it,” he retorted.“I just did, sir,” “Not in the order you were told,” I said. “N
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 032_Devious Question
Elora’s POVI was standing inside the council’s chamber right now, gazing on the floor. The air in the room was crisp and cold, and I couldn’t tell why. Maybe it was always like this, or the weight of what was about to happen here was weighing down on me.The area where I was standing, in the center of the large emblem on the floor, appeared to be colder than the rest of the floor. I’d noticed Alpha Lloyd standing on one corner of the room. I assumed he was part of the counsellors. It never occurred to me that he wasn’t a member, and I never saw the need to ask him about it.But why was he here? Did he think I can’t handle myself? Was he here for emotional support? He sure has a lot of explanations to make after now. But in the meantime, I should focus on the three people in front of me. I knew the man in the center was Darius, the devious one. Never in my dreams have I prayed to have to answer that man in the high council.I was not familiar with the two others, but I had an incl
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 031_The Council Of Three
Lloyd’s POVLetting Elora attend the council all by herself didn’t only sound foolish but dangerous too. But my beta had just suggested it.“Surely, you should let her handle her own, hmm?” Xavier’s words in my study came back to me. “If she doesn’t have anything to hide, she shouldn’t have so many problems with the council."But I understood that Elora’s life wasn’t like that. If Elora’s life was anything, it was complicated. Too complicated.And some of these complications happened even without her will in the picture. She didn’t ask for any of these. I knew that more than anybody. And I didn’t attend the council with her to serve as emotional support.Elora didn’t need that. I attended to know the outcome of the meeting, and know how the balance swings from here hence forth. Before Elora arrived, I was there. I was greeted by the chilly room as I walked in, taking in the mighty dome.The high walls appear like something carved out of grey stone. A gallery overhead rounded the b
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 030_Summoned
Elora’s POVI was startled awake by a knock from the door. Turning this way and that way in bed, my eyes flipped open. I was getting used to sleeping alone and waking up alone. And to be honest, it felt good. That was better than having someone pretend to be what they are not while cheating under your nose.And keep lying about it.I shook the thought off my head and sat up. The knock came again, a bit louder.Scrambling to my feet, I headed to the door and opened it a crack. My eyes met a high council courier, face blank.Shoulders growing tense, I straightened, my feet on the floor slightly adjusted. I pulled the door open wider.“This is an order from the supreme council,” the man thrusted a sealed envelope before me. “On no account shall you refuse the order of the supreme council."“I’ve pledged to submit, and I pledge to serve,” I said the pledge, taking the letter from him. He sent me a nod, hesitating a beat, before he spun around and walked away. I closed the door behind
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 029_What Awakens In Her?
Lloyd’s POVToday was brighter than yesterday, until I thought it wasn't.I was reviewing the things we found in the vault in my study the other day.The reinforced box sat on the desk before me, looking at me while I stared at it. One who walked into the room to see me would quickly assume that I was staring the chest down.Slowly, I reached out with both hands, fingers tinkering with the combination. A pop followed, and I slowly pulled the box’s lid open to reveal the contents again.I started with the sealed letter, toying and playing with it, turning it over and over in my finger. I recalled hearing lores about parchments that couldn’t easily burn. For some reason, I raised it in the light. It looked like a regular letter on a normal day—only older, and stricken in years. Slowly, I kept it on the space beside the chest, going for the broken sigil. I failed to resist a scoff. My fingers grazed over it lightly, and after a moment, I kept it quietly on top of the letter. I leane
