Elora's POV

When the elder dropped the bomb he had to drop, I feared for what was going to be Lloyd’s decision.

From the way the meeting started, I knew the Unanimous Assembly had a curveball coming.

I didn’t just realize it was going to be this deep, with this heavy spin on it. I glanced at the man sitting before me, the eyes of every member of the assembly plastered on him.

“You’re not going to do that, are you?” I broke through his mind using the mindlink.

He hesitated before he replied in a grunt in my head. “Of course not. They had this coming all along.”

“I know,” I replied. “I just wanted to make sure that you do remember the words of Davina.”

“I do, and it makes the whole thing difficult,” another disgruntled grunt followed his voice in my head.

This was a decision he had to make before the elders and the councilors here and now. I cannot help out in the situation.

The elders need him to admit that he was cancelling the event, which meant he was with them. It’s the

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   183_The Wrong Side of Things

    Lloyd's POVThe next morning, everything around me went wrong. And to top it all off, Elora wasn’t yet back. I’ve spent two hours on my bedroom balcony, and yet I’ve not seen any sign of my elite beta. Was she being this careless because I gave her the freedom? Or was this how her father led the team of mages when my father was king? None of this makes sense.I walked back inside my room, standing by the window overlooking the gardens and watching the omegas work.For a moment, I wanted to howl at every one of them to leave the place. My skin prickled with anger, and my wolf pranced within me with rage, threatening to let loose. A sharp, silent snap made me look at my finger. They had transformed into claws.My door opened with a soft whoosh. My skin prickled with a familiar presence I could only associate with an old beta.Xavier. As soon as I sensed him walk in, I raised a hand to stop him from moving.“Today is council day, sir,” Xavier started, tentative. “Would you like me

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   182_Psychology of Magic

    Elora's POVThe warm feel of the cabin was a sharp contrast to the cold in the darkness outside. The cabin was enveloped in the usual orange glow from the lamps overhead, and I was sitting in the dining area of Kael’s cabin. He wrapped a final band aid over my slashed palm, hooking it in place.“That should do the trick,” he said in a low grunt. “Some of the dark magic already made it into your bloodstream, and it will inevitably slow the healing down, but by tomorrow morning, everything should disappear without a trace.”“Thank you, Kael,” I turned the band aid over and over in the air, before placing it on the table top softly. “I really hope this heals as quickly as you claim. I don’t want to have to explain to Lloyd why I have another bandaid on my arm.”“And speaking of,” Kael pulled the wooden seat before me and sat. “Why the hell didn’t you inform your alpha that you were going to see a group of ruffians?”I sighed, putting my head in my palm. “You know how Lloyd can be,” I

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   181_Evidence in the Sand

    Lloyd's POVWith Davina’s direction, Xavier slid into a dark street, his speed mild. I sat beside him, staring into the distance where an orange light flooded the crossroads ahead. It reminded me of the crossroads demons I’d heard in folklore growing up, and I shrugged the thought off.When we got to the crossroads, the blood spot in the map I was holding stopped moving, Xavier and I exchanged glances, and he broke the silence.“Are you sure we should trust the map that bitchy gave you?”I shook my head. “But I don’t see a reason why she’d lie after what she did before now.”“You’re saying you find reasons to believe her?”I looked at him. “I’m saying we don’t have much of a choice.”With another glance at the old map, I stepped down from the car, folding the parchment in two. Xavier joined me, the car engine going off, making way for dry silence. The only sounds in the air was the echoing of our boots on the asphalt and the tiny screeches of crickets in the distance. I drew in a b

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   180_Thrills of Victory

    Elora's POVI glanced from the slightly muscular man so eager to fight me to Klaus, and a scoff left me before I could put my thoughts together. “So, this is the guy you want me to beat,” I purred.Klaus tilted his head slightly to the side. “Do you have any contrary opinion? And oh, if you can’t handle the heat, feel free to admit that, love.” He bared his teeth in a dirty grin. I turned from him to the man, smiling smugly now.“This is your chance to apologize and walk away,” he smiled. “Who knows, I might be lenient enough to persuade my boss and won’t have to fight you.”“You should be careful how you talk, young man,” I replied, voice low but firm. “The vessels with the most noise are the ones with nothing in them.”“We’ll see who’s the empty vessel by the end of today,” he frowned, pressing his knuckles together. I took him in, noticing his stance. His feet were wide apart, and he hunched slightly, his eyes watching my every move. This guy is a brawler, I noted.As I took a

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   179_Vexations from Witches

    Lloyd's POVI was still standing in my study with Davina, who sort of thinks that staying away from hunting my missing beta would somehow miraculously solve my problems. Was she okay? What was she thinking? “Let me through, Davina,” I growled. “The more we waste time here, the more things get more serious. Not like you understand that.”“I’m not going to let you through here until I can exactly determine where Elora is at the moment.“Then get the damn show underway already,” I cried. “Find Elora if you have to. Just let me go and find her.”Davina frowned at me, then stormed out of the room. I tried to walk out after her when I slammed into the barrier again and staggering back.“Great,” I hissed. “Just great when you have witchy-bitchy in your house. Now, I’m in some magical house arrest in my own hours for caring.”I headed back to the couch and dropped in, leaning back and trying to stay calm, but it was so difficult. There was no telling where Elora was now, and what bad shit sh

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   17_Dealing with a Loaer

    Elora's POVMy hands folded into fist, but I was careful not to reach to my core of energy. There’s no telling who’s in the darkness there, and considering the circumstances surrounding my family, revealing who I am at this point would be a silly thing to do. From the darkness, stern faces approached me, eyes sizzling with a yellow glow, some of them baring their teeth in a snarl. A couple cracked their knuckles, while some others held their swords in such a way that I should see it. I turned around slowly as I took them all in, closing in on me in a big circle.At this rate, it would be impossible to defeat these much people. But if I reach into my core of energy, I can kill them all in one swoop. A smart plan, but that also meant revealing that you’re a mage to anyone who could be watching from anywhere. The rogues approaching me suddenly froze in their track like they were in a kind of rehearsal, and I blinked. From how they stood, they had formed a large circle around me at
