Lloyd’s POV

The 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 Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   217_Burning Heart

    Lloyd's POV“Hey, what's wrong?” I leaned over her. “Are you okay?”Another scream shot through her and she wriggled on the bed, eyes tightly shut, skin turning as red as a tomato. Raw, unfiltered, coming out like it scraped against bone. When my brain comprehended what was going on, I rose up to my feet so quick I knocked over the lampstand.“My chest, ahh!”She curled into a ball, her hand digging into the right side of her chest. Veins appeared on her forehead and neck, and she folded back, her hands so tight that I thought she might rip her heart out.“Lena! Get water,” I cried out with a loud growl. In the other room, chaos ensues. I heard a stool being knocked over. Another hiss. Everyone was on the run. Every omega was running.Moments later, Lena barrelled through, hands holding a glass of water, a few omegas running behind her. She hurried towards us, her face a real picture of horror. “Please drink, Elora,” Lena presented the glass. I grabbed Elora and turned her over

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   216_Safety in a Safehouse

    Elora's POVThe safehouse was almost as comfortable and sophisticated as the Alpha house. I opened my eyes to find myself in a grand bedroom with no windows. The air around me was crisp and dry, the air conditioning system tucked away in a corner. I drew in a breath as the memories of the other day flooded back to me. Yesterday evening went rough. The door ahead swung open softly and Lloyd walked in, closing the door with a small click, one hand holding a box. “Hey,” he echoed as our eyes met. “You're up.”I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through from my abdomen through my back, forcing a groan out of me. Lloyd was at my side in an instant, pushing gently back to the bed and caressing my cheek. “Hey, relax,” he said. “You knocked yourself out this morning.”“I did?”“Guess you were too exhausted,” he pooped the box with him open and brought out medical supplies. “You didn't bleed much though. I didn't think I had blood loss.”“Medical supplies,” I snickered as he arrang

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   215_Urgent Search

    Lloyd's POVI flipped my eyes open and instinctively, my eyes landed on the alarm clock on my lampstand, and then it occurred to me. I'd only slept for two hours. I turned this way and that way, willing sleep to come to me, all in vain. My eyes went clear, and sleep escaped from me like a wet bar of soap.The day replayed in my head. How it was Zack Biko that walked through those restaurant doors and how Xavier had helped me hold back my rage. Forcing him to talk that night was no small feat—the hoodlum had sworn not to reveal anything, and we had to force him to spill. Zack gave me the image of a con man, and for a moment I wondered if all he revealed to us was actually true. For all I know, he could be lying. He did it before, and when opportunity presented itself to him, he ran away.If he lied at that moment, when he could have chosen to repair what was left of our deceptive friendship, what's stopping him from doing it again? Zack was not only bold, he was a man who had th

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   214_Dark Network

    Elora's POVMy heart stopped. Switches clicked and a handful of torchlights pointed at me, some on my temple, others behind me. I went still, fingers still on the track pad, jaw tightening, my posture going rigid. “Show your face!” A male voice cried.My brain raked for something to do right now, but nothing could suffice. My surroundings—a dark room with a handful of torchlight beams blurred for a moment before it cleared, and still I was still out of action plan.Who were these people?A click echoed in the room and white light flooded the dark room, making the torchlight beams insignificant. Slowly, I stood up, but I refused to turn.“Well, well,” another masculine voice laughed hoarsely. “If it's not the boss’s mate. What a coincidence?”Slowly, I turned around to meet the face of the person talking and my chest tightened. There were more than twenty people in the room right now who formed a semi circle around me, pinning me with hot glares. In the center of the circle was

    Elora's POVBefore I got to the garage, running footsteps approached me and Lloyd emerged, blocking my path. “Listen, Elora,” he was panting. “You can't go looking for your husband now. Now is a bad time.”“What makes it a bad time?” I cocked a brow at him.He spread his arms. “Isn't it obvious? It's late.”“Late?” I snickered. “This is a matter of utmost importance. That fool needs to be called out.”“I'm not saying he shouldn't be,” Lloyd interjected. “I'm saying you can do it tomorrow.”“Tomorrow can wait. I have to take care of this tonight,” I tried to walk past, but Lloyd blocked me again. I looked past my shoulders to see Lena, Davina and Xavier standing at a respectable distance, watching us.“I won't let you risk your life, Elora,” Lloyd muttered.“Don't you get it?!” I cried. “This guy's living in a house I bought with money! Before I abandoned him to join the beta force, I worked three jobs to hold the family together! I lost my child! And you want me to let it slide?! O

    Lloyd's POV“Looks like your friend’s intel was correct,” I smirked at Elora. She walked down the stairs slowly, her gaze pinned on Zack till she arrived at the foot of the stairs. Zack blinked. “So, you’ve been working with my husband all this time?” She asked him.He closed his eyes, letting his head fall. She looked up at me and the others. “I can’t believe this.”“Told Lloyd the same thing. It was hard to imagine that the redhead was pulling the strings all this time.” Lena said.Elora blinked. “Wait, you mean my—” She stopped herself before adding “Zeke?”“In the flesh,” I said. “Zack here, turned out to be one of his minions. His rich facade was just to cover the real guy.”“He said your mate is rich,” Xavier said. “And I can understand if he’s hiding it. Money made through sorcery isn’t exactly something you want your mate to know.”Elora stormed past us. “I need to talk to that bastard.”I grabbed her wrist, gripped hard, pulling her back, and her gaze met mine. “That is th
