Elora's POV

“I should be asking you the same question,” I frowned at Zack.

One hand slipped into my dress, fiddling with the strap beneath, and rubbing against the penknife I had hidden.

I knew that trying to summon magic in this supernaturally charged environment would be a waste of time.

I’ve heard of people losing their powers just by casting magic in magically charged places with a vortex entrance and exit.

Having the penknife hidden was a practical method. I may not be able to cast magi

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   225_A New Beginning

    Elora's POVMy eyes flipped open as a door ahead swung open and a figure walked in, a band-aid wrapped around his forehead. He looked dashing in a dark suit over a dark hoodie, and I thought he was heading somewhere. “Hey,” he breathed. “You’re up.”Before I could move, he was beside me in an instant, helping me sit up. I glanced around to see that I was in Lloyd’s room, back at the Alpha house. For a moment, my head was blank.“What’s going on?” I asked Lloyd.“Well, we can start with the goodnews,” he grinned. “You vanquished the darkness.”“Is there any bad news?” I blinked. “Wait, what’s going on—”A sharp pain came to my temple, and I pressed against the area, closing my eyes as the memories flooded back. I jumped. “The Goth! We need to—”“Hey, listen,” he held me back. “Look at me, okay. It’s done. You’re safe now. We destroyed it. You destroyed it.”I went calm, but my chest ached. “What about Davina?”“Unfortunately…” He didn’t need to finish for me to understand the messa

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   224_True Power Unmasked

    Elora's POVThe single cloud of darkness slowly descending towards me crackled with powerful energy, flashes of lightning coming on and off. Mira’s laugh echoed through the room amid the noise in a devastating way. I looked back at her. “You’re not human!” I snapped. “It would really profit you to kill a set of people, just to introduce a wicked spirit into this world for your selfish gains.”From the darkness, another figure emerged, joining Mira and Zeke “I’m glad all of this was worth it. We didn’t labour in vain.”Zack Biko.As he finished his statement, he bowed instantly. “The terrible one that rules over darkness and the Circle of your loyal network, I submit to you. I will serve, and I will be of service.”I growled. “I knew from the beginning that you were dark. I just wish the people with me could have understood sooner.”Zack didn’t move from his prostrated position until a thunderclap so hard that I thought I might be deafened the next moment sounded, then the voice of m

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   223_Electric Invasion

    Lloyd's POVI woke up to a violent shaking and a numb pain in my left shoulder. My eyes flipped open to meet a young lady I’ve only seen around Zeke once. My eyes widened as I pushed her off.“Get away from me,” I warned. She staggered, and I made to stand to my feet, she grabbed my leg. “Please, I need your help,” she cried. “We’re in the same situation here.”I hesitated, then stopped. “Let me go, then speak.”She lingered, then tentatively let go of my leg and stood to her full height, fear written over her face. “I’m Charlotte, and we’re fighting the same thing,” she said. “I can help you find what you’re looking for, if you can help me—”“I don’t have time for this,” I growled and walked off. She stepped into my way, stopping me. “Sorry, sorry,” she apologized. “I mean, I know where Elora is. I can help you find her.”“I’m listening,” I gave her my attention.“The Crimson Circle is trying to summon the Ascendant into Elora’s body as its host. If they succeed, Elora will becom

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   222_The True Villain

    Elora's POVThe first thing I became aware of the moment I woke up was the tight bands around my arms and legs, pressing me against cold metal. No, earth. No, concrete. I flipped my eyes open, my head aching numbly. As I recognized my surroundings, I shuddered. I wasn’t in any random place. I was in the nexus.The Crimson Circle’s Nexus.The confusion that overwhelmed me didn’t last long before dread set in. I was sitting on the large, concrete tone in the large room, held against it by invisible bands over my hands, stomach, and thighs. I couldn’t even teeter because of the strength of the force that held me down there. I tried to reach into my core for magic and felt the energy snuffed out like wind blowing over fire.“What the hell…” I muttered under my breath, glancing around. Unlike the usual setting, the large room was dark, with a small, weak light overhead, lighting the area around me. I tried to reach out to my magic again and failed, then it hit me. The Crimson Circ

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   221_The Height of Heist

    Elora's POVStanding before me in the visitor’s room was Zeke, the ashen pendant hanging in his hand, encrypted letters and envelopes he had managed to keep hidden scattered all over the floor. Dressed in an immaculate suit that gleamed in the light, his face was anything but immaculate. “Did you really think I was going to let you walk out of this place alive?” he snarled. “I mean, I’d be stupid to do so after giving you this invaluable piece of information. You shouldn’t live to tell the story.”“Zeke, I don’t know what you have up your sleeves.” I took a step backwards. “But I’ll have you know that sorcery doesn’t work on me.”“You think this is sorcery?” He fumbled with the pendant's neck. “This is pure hi-tech. Just not from flimsy science. This is the height of the supernatural.”“Can you listen to yourself?” I gave him a look of disgust. “Appraising darkness and sorcery.”“It makes things work, weirdo,” he cried, the word ‘weirdo’ taking me aback. “Sorcery made me rich. Stay

  • The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired   220_The Hidden Pages

    Lloyd's POVAs I gave her the book, I wondered what she would do with it. The pages were blank for no reason, except for the middle page that had a drawing I’d only seen Mira draw at some point. But at this point, she was struggling to believe anything I said, so holding back the book from her wasn’t exactly helping.Memories of telling Lord Henry Stark that the idea of keeping things from her daughter was insane, and I shuddered a little. All of the things I thought would happen had played out as I anticipated. Elora wasn’t supposed to find these things because I had to keep them here. At the same time, the Crimson Circle was combing the realms for us, so this safehouse was the only option I had for safety. We’d go back to the Alpha house once I was certain everywhere was safe. But then…“This can’t be happening,” Elora gasped.I moved without thinking, rushing to her side. “What’s wrong?”“I can read this,” she gave me a sidelong glance. “I can read it.”Right before my eyes,

Could it be that Zack has something on him? Maybe, a strong hold of sorcery that we were yet to understand and

He dusted himself and I walked towards him, just as Elora walked away. “Zack,” I called and he looked my way. “Well, you look pretty messed up.” My chuckle came out dry.“Yeah,” he l
