I'm so sorry for the long break and no updates y'all. Wasn't feeling well but I'm back now.
ELARA“No, burn her now! Don’t just stand there like a fool!” Lilith screamed, pointing at me like I was some broken thing she needed gone.The guard flinched at her voice. I saw it. I saw the way his eyes shifted quickly, like he wasn’t sure if he should obey or ask questions. He looked at her again, then back at me. And then he stepped forward.He raised his hand, maybe to grab my arm or shove me toward the fire, I don’t know. But the moment his hand touched me just barely brushed my shoulder, he went flying backward like he’d been hit by something heavy. He fell straight on his butt with a loud thud, his helmet rolling to the side as he groaned in confusion.I blinked.He blinked too.We both looked at each other like, “What just happened?”And then, I started laughing.Not because it was funny, really, but because I didn’t know what else to do. It was that kind of laugh that starts in your chest and just slips out before you can stop it. That kind of laugh that says, I don’t care
ELARAThe fire kept burning in front of me, loud and wild like it had been waiting all day to swallow me whole. I stood there, breathing in the smoke, feeling the heat crawl up my skin, but I didn’t step back. I didn’t even blink.One of the elders raised his hand. His voice came out strong, like he was proud to say it. “Elara of the Eastern bloodline, you are found guilty of breaking sacred law. You carry the child of another while still bound to the Alpha—”“I was rejected,” I cut in sharply.Murmurs filled the crowd. The elder frowned, clearly annoyed.“I was rejected,” I said again, louder this time. “He let me go. He didn’t want me. I didn’t betray anyone. So stop acting like I slept around behind his back.”“Silence!” one of them barked.I laughed under my breath. “Funny how you all want me silent when I’m finally speaking the truth.”“Enough of this nonsense,” the head maid hissed from the side. “You were warned.”“No,” I snapped, turning to face her. “I’ve been quiet for too
ELARAI was taken to the dungeon and made to stay there till the next day. The servants had me remove the gown I was wearing and handed a white robe to wear.I was in an intense argument with the maids. They were all insisting I cut my hair. And out of nowhere, the head maid slapped me and I didn't hesitate to slap her back.“I won't cut my hair for whatever rubbish y'all want.” I spat still staring at her, waiting for her to make another move.“It’s an order that was passed by the council members and the Alpha. And besides, you will die so what are you saving your hair for!?” She shouted back at me and I took a few steps back in a bid to avoid her spitting all over me.I blinked fast, not believing what she just said."Wow," I scoffed and took a slow step toward her. "So just because I’m going to die, that means I should start acting like I’m already a corpse? Do I look like a ghost to you?"She opened her mouth to speak, but I didn’t let her."If I'm going to die, I’ll die with all m
THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO MY EARLY AND DEDICATED READERS; JOSE DIANE AND BRENDA BRISCOE.~ALARICI was in the meeting looking at everyone as they talked and brought in their suggestions on how to get more supplies for the Pack’s school. It was brought to my notice that the power supply went off while the pups were learning in class. Now, that's something I hate—interruptions while learning.I didn't care how it happened but I made sure the persons who were in charge of looking after the school’s electrical room were punished.I closed my eyes and the only thing I could see was her face. How scared she was thinking the rogues would harm her. She looked so vulnerable.“Elara.” Her name left my lips like a fine wine. Like something I wanted to taste everyday.Innes, my wolf has never allowed me to rest ever since then.I couldn't have enough of her and I didn't want to leave her alone in the woods that night. However, I had to leave. I made sure no harm would come to her while she sl
ELARA“Who's the father?” He yelled and Mara stepped forward standing between me and him.“Alpha, lower your sword. This is not the right way to handle this.” Mara said, looking between the sword and his face.I felt my heart jump down to my stomach. I made to stand up but Lucius brought the sword closer and tighter to my neck. If I should make another move, I would surely get a cut.“Lower your weapon on her! You might wound her.” Mara removed the sword from my neck but she did it with a little force, making Lucius look at her with malice in his eyes.“I will get back to you. Let me deal with this healer first.” He turned to look at Mara and she shifted back a little. Fear was very visible in her eyes.“Since when did you care about her? My slave?” He asked but Mara looked down and intertwined her hands together.“Nothing Alpha, I was just scared you'd hurt her. Besides, she's pregnant.” Mara selected her words carefully while avoiding Lucius' gaze.“Pregnant? Not for me and why do y
ELARAMy heart was beating so fast as I stared outside the window. I heard what Lucius said earlier. So, he would kill me if he finds out. What should I do?I stood up and ran out of the room into the hallway. I placed my hand on my stomach, my head started to throb and my legs were shaking.I looked around and everything felt like they were spinning."No, I can't let Lucius harm me or my babies." I struggled to wrap my head around what he would do to me.I was running towards the kitchen when I ran into Lilith."Oh you bitch..." She cursed me while looking around. With one glance, I could tell she's in search of Lucius.Maybe he went for the Alpha's affairs meeting. That's a relief."Lilith, I beg of you." I muttered taking steady and calculated steps towards her."Don't you dare take another step towards me." She warned, pointing a finger towards me as she stepped back.Is she scared? Oh, someone tell me I'm not dreaming."I would, I would in fact hug you if you dare to run without
