The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 054_Alpha's Comment
Lloyd’s POV “What did you just say?” I breathed, rooted where I stood. Slowly, she walked back to me. “I said I continued with the investigation lightly. I thought—”“You were not supposed to continue with anything lightly,” he said in a low growl. She shot me wide eyes. “I don’t understand. I noticed something wasn’t right, and I decided to look into it.” “You were not supposed to look into that,” I growled again. “You don’t know the pact I was made to swear to take you under my wing. The things we are dealing with are dangerous.”She blinked at me. “So, you think I cannot handle myself?”“I think you should know things to dabble into alone and the things you should inform me about before dabble into it.” I said.While she was still in her baffled state, I grabbed her wrist, making sure it wasn’t too tight. In a blur, we dashed into a corner.“You shouldn’t have done that,” I warned. “You should have informed me before leaving.”“Like I said, it was a light investigation,” she pr
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 053_Table Flipping
Elora’s POV“Release our Alpha!” The people kept chanting to the surprise of Darius, other members of the council, and even a part of the elders.I didn't even know that the stunt I pulled will work.I was particularly surprised myself. Xavier's lips tugged with a smile despite his bafflement, but he struggled to hide it.My eyes met Lloyd in the defense box, and he reacted through the mind link.“You aren't supposed to be here,” he stated. “Everything I did was to get you out of this.”“At your expense?” I responded without moving my lips. “I'm not going to sit back and watch you burn, Alpha.”He forced himself to hide a smile, looking away. “I don't know whether I should be thanking you for what you did for me or kicking your ass for leaving where I left you.”“You should be more focused on getting your ass out of there,” I smirked at him, still communicating with the mind link.“Silence!” Darius growled on top of his voice, lifting a hand. The chaotic noise fell to a light mutter.
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 052_Confusion at Trial
Lloyd’s POVThe tribunal had asked a few round of questions and they failed to find fault in me.I was peculiarly happy though. Their plan was to catch me unawares, but they failed.I saw their plan from a mile away, and I made sure it failed.“Silence,” Darius growled. “This is baseless. We will invite another councillor to ask you a few questions.”“Feel free,” I said. “However, I will not tolerate badgering, based on the authority of my office.”He looked away from me and in the direction of the councillors. “We invite councillor Gaius for his questions.”The man rose from the first row and made his way out, holding a parchment.He crossed to the stand where I stood and gave me a once-over.Then, he crossed to the front of the crowd, where Darius was situated above him.“Members of the council, it is true that this man has been an honourable luminary of our time,” he started. “But as of late, recent actions have brought questions from pack members and elders alike.”He crossed the
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 051_The Clue and the Defense
Elora’s POVI was hurrying back to the Alpha house to share my findings with Lloyd. I think I might have a clue to everything going on right now.The people in charge of moving all these illegal magical objects have someone in the council; and this person is very influential.And they are committed to ensuring that the business continues going. They are committed to ensure that the supply chain doesn’t break.And someone in the council is benefitting greatly from that supply chain. When I arrived at the Alpha house, I was surprised to meet some of the betas, lying in different parts of the yard, knocked out.I blinked. What the hell happened here?I hurried quickly towards the main entrance and pushed the doors open. More guards lay knocked out on the floor of the foyer.Who did this? Who knocked out these men? And what were they looking for?I walked further inside the foyer, before taking the stairs.“Lloyd?” I called, tentatively. There was no answer.“Lloyd?” I called again. My v
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 050_Fake Hearing
Lloyd’s POVThe numerous, open tomes and scrolls in my study had reduced, but were still open. This time, I was looking for things to help me deal with my current situation.I believed that there was a loophole somewhere in the law that allowed for alphas to escape standing a hearing after going against the council.It’s been since morning, but I’ve not been able to find something reasonable. At some point, I was beginning to wonder if there was any loophole in the law at all. I slapped the tome I was looking through shut and stood up from my deskchair. Walking to one of the shelves, my eyes scanned the tomes there until I noticed an ancient one.This one had an old, textile material cover. The binding was well stricken in years. I slammed it on the desk, sending a century of dust ascending towards my face. I covered my nose with my cloak.Slowly, I peeled the book open and read slowly. Everything I saw contained information that could help an alpha escape a trial by the council,
The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired 049_Going Deeper
Elora’s POVI had investigations to do on my own about myself, my identity, and the reason behind the council’s pursuit of me.I decided to check back at the restaurant where I worked the last time—the place where Alpha Lloyd found me.One of them seemed to know something. I’m not sure if Xavier picked up on that research or not. But I need to dig in more.When I arrived in my elite Beta uniform, the eyes of everyone in the room looked at me with approval.Most of them started murmuring, and my ears picked up on some of it.“How the hell is she a Beta warrior?”“I still remember that bitch serving me a drink, and spilling one on my tunic.” “I’m so happy for her.” I ignored them, continuing towards the counter.Laura appeared from a corner and our eyes met. Her eyes lit up. She clasped her hand over her mouth to stifle her gasps.I just smiled.“Is this you?” Laura hushed.I nodded. “Of course. How is it going?”“I…You look so good, Ellie,” she stammered, her eyes raking me from head
