Elara's povThe young girl stretched her hands towards me, a smile on her face, but all I could see was the look behind that smile. There was a lot involved, and I got worried.I had seen people smile, but all that filled it was nothing but pretense. I was so tired of it and wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.As soon as I was close enough to take her hand, I maneuvered my way, running the opposite way I came, hoping I could find another exit since the first one I found seemed abortive. “Wait, I promise I won't hurt you…” she screamed out, but I pretended not to hear her. I kept running, my haggard breath echoing in the hallway. However, I stopped when I bumped into someone. The collision was so much, I lost balance, wobbling backwards with my right palm placed on my forehead.“Are you alright?" He asked, but I shook my head, trying to run off again when he grabbed my hands. “Woah, calm down. Why are you running off?" He asked, but I just faced where I was going, runnin
Elara's Pov I blinked constantly, trying to tell myself I was alright as I tried to avoid the man who was chasing behind me. I didn't know how else I was going to do it, but I hoped I would lose him.My legs were sore, my heart was racing, and my breath refused to calm; how would it? When I was being chased by a madman, I felt like I was in a maze. Suddenly, I tripped over something, falling flat. Everything seemed to be playing again, and this time I wasn't able to save myself because I was grabbed by my foot even when I attempted to get up.“Noooo!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, my throat sore from one pitch, but I didn't give up, kicking so he would let go of my legs, but it didn't work. “Wolf out, wolf out!" I yelled inwardly, and I began to do it. I couldn't see the face of the person behind me, but I felt it was Alaric.“You can't live. I need you, and I need your baby.” He sounded, dragging me towards where he was. “So you can kill us? Well, I don't think so.” The stru
Elara’s POV It wasn't long before I set out of my room. I was dressed in jean trousers and a hoodie to improve the supposed journey. I also took a bottle of water to keep me hydrated. “Wait a minute…” Someone called behind me, and I rolled my eyes. "What do you want now, Mira?” I answered in a tone that caused her to know I was in no mood to be interrupted. "Nothing. I just wanted to speak to you about…” she trailed. "About everything.” She paused and then stared at me. “But it seems like you're rushing.”"Yup, you're right, I am.” "But it's hot out; why are you putting on a hoodie?” She squinted her eyes, and I immediately noticed the suspicion in her eyes. “Yeah, but I'm pregnant, and you know how hormones are. I just want to go for a walk and—”“Can I come along?” She asked with her eyes fixed on mine, and I saw so many emotions. She seemed concerned and, at the same time, interested. “Well, I'm sorry, but you can't, and before you say anything else, I already asked him for p
Elara's PovI sat there for hours, my mind reeling around what I had just found out. My supposed mate was the murderer of my parents? It was shocking. He showed me love, cared for me, and now, he acted like I didn't even matter. “Why does the moon goddess keep making my life a living hell? Why doesn't she see that I have always served her faithfully, huh?” I asked questions, crying so much that my eyes were hurting. Just then the door opened, and I immediately snapped my head towards the direction.“Elara…” she called, her eyes fixed on me. I nodded, turning my face away as I quickly used my palms to clean my tears off. “What's wrong? Why are you sobbing?" She asked with raised brows, and I shook my head. I didn't want her to be believing that anything was wrong. “Nothing’s wrong, I just…” “Did he hurt you?" She cut in and immediately tried to check me, but I pulled my hand away.Why would she even do that? Unless, maybe she knew about his abusive nature and had been keeping quie
Lucius PovI was seated alone in my room, the darkness looming over me .I couldn't recall the last time I opened the curtains, or should I say I didn't realize the last time i did anything productive.As I thought, a glass of whiskey was seated on my desk, a glass on the table, and every now or then, I poured myself a glass, downing it without even thinking. My chest paced, my hands fisted around the glass, and a small crack formed due to the force I had been using to hold the glass. my mind racrd with different thoughts. I was super annoyed, and worried. Why didn't I get whatever I wanted. My mate was with another man, to think she rejected me, and made me look like a laughing stock to everyone.My neck immediately hoovered over my shoulders, my eyes trying to get sight of who had just entered into my room since my chair was backing the entrance. “I said I didn't want to be disturbed." My tone was filled with rage, and it made her stop in her tracks.I knew who it was. It was obvi
Elara's pov I stared at him with a worried face. Did he really expect me to tell him what I want?“What do you want?” he asked with raised brows, and there were no words. I still was feeling really shy. My heart drummed like crazy and I didn't even know what to say to him. “Please just… just touch me.” i begged, but there was no response from him. He just nicked, and then inched closer b“Where?” He pushed further, bitting his lips. It seems like there was a lot already happening. I didn't know what else to say. He was making me blush out of embarrassment.“Down there,” I pointed, and he smirked. “Hmm, fair enough…” he rushed towards where I was, and kissed me on the lips, then he began to take off his cloths in a hurry. I was tensed. I didn't know how else to go about it. i was shy, and tensed at the same time. “You look so beautiful. I'm sure there are so many hidden in your…” he trailed, devouring my lips. “Yes love, I want you to do that…” I needed to make him love me.” He k
