Elara's POV

Three years later...

"You've been following me this whole time. Come out."

Two tiny figures peeked out, then shyly stepped into view.

My pups.

They ran over and wrapped themselves around my legs, whining, "Mommy, take us with you. We don't want to be away from you. Not even for a second."

I crouched and ruffled their hair with a smile. "Your dad definitely taught you to say that."

Three full years had passed since I left Mooncrest Pack.

  • The Pack's Princess Left   Chapter 12

    I didn't hesitate.I ran back to the cabin.The second I reached the doorway, the scene in front of me stole my breath.Flynn had already shifted into his massive silver wolf.He was locked in a brutal fight with Cassian, Orion, and Nikolai.Nikolai had a silver dagger in his hand, his eyes blood-red.While Flynn fought off the other two, Nikolai circled behind him.The blade flashed cold, seconds from driving into Flynn's back."Stop!"I screamed, terror swallowing me whole.In that instant, everyone froze.Nikolai's dagger hung in the air.Flynn's body jerked, and he shifted back.The Alpha who was usually untouchable looked fragile now.He stumbled straight into me.Then he wrapped his arms around my waist, his voice weak. "Babe, I'm scared. They're trying to kill me."If the Frostfang wolves saw him like this, they probably wouldn't recognize the wolf in front of me as their fearsome Alpha.Nikolai, Cassian, and Orion snapped out of it, shaking with rage."Elara,

    I shut the door and looked around.The room was spotless.Not a speck of dust on the floor. The desk was neat. The bedding was folded with crisp, perfect edges.By the wall, fresh berries and milk sat on the shelf.I didn't have to guess who'd done it.Cassian. Nikolai. Or Orion.But I wasn't touched.Not even a little.I turned, grabbed the rag from the corner, and started wiping everything down.Slowly. Carefully.Erasing every trace that didn't belong to me.A soft knock came at the door.Restrained. Gentle.I opened it.Flynn stood outside with our two little pups tucked against him.He lifted a hand and offered me a box. "I heard Alpha Ronan's looking for herbs that fight poison gas. I know where to find them, so I brought some. I'm grateful he sent you to me back then."I took the box, my fingers brushing his warm palm. "Thank you."He was always like this.Always thoughtful when it came to me.He ruffled my hair, warmth filling his eyes.The pups reached for

    The door flew open, and Nikolai rushed in.He looked more mature than he had three years ago, but painfully thin. His bloodshot eyes were almost scary.Cassian and Orion came in behind him.They'd changed just as much. None of their old fire was left. Hollow eyes, pale faces, and a dead silence clung to them, making them look barely alive.Their eyes landed on me, and they started to tremble.Disbelief crossed their faces, but their eyes were full of longing.I stayed seated.Calm.Unmoved.Three years of happiness had smoothed out every old wound.I'd already walked out of the past. I was steady now. Calm.And somehow, that only made me feel like more of a stranger to them.Confusion flickered in their eyes.Then their nostrils flared, and their faces went sharp.They caught his scent on me.A powerful Alpha's presence. Dominant, heavy, unmistakably possessive.They understood right away.I had a mate.I wasn't hiding it. I didn't have to.Every trace on me told the

Not even for a second."I crouched and ruffled their hair with a smile. "Your dad definitely taught you to say that."Three full years had passed since I left Mooncrest Pack.The northern wolves' blizzards had stripped every bit of softness out of me.I wasn't the same Elara who cried the second things got hard, desperate for someone to stay.I'd learned to be independent. To protect what was mine. To stand on my own.And somehow, I got luckier than I ever deserved.I met Flynn Frostfang.My fated mate.The strongest Alpha in the North.Footsteps sounded behind me, heavy with that familiar Alpha force.Flynn stepped out of the shadows.He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close, his possessi

    The square was already packed with wolves.Unmated she-wolves huddled together, faces tight with panic. Hands clasped, they begged the Moon Goddess under their breath.'Please. Anyone but me.'Nikolai, Orion, and Cassian rushed in, panic written all over their faces.Their eyes swept through the crowd.Every face.Every corner.Still no Elara.Orion's panic spiked. His steps turned shaky as he grabbed the nearest wolf, voice sharp and desperate."Have you seen Elara?"The wolf flinched under his bloodshot stare and shook his head fast.Orion grabbed another wolf.Same answer.Then someone in the crowd snickered. "With you three guarding her, even if Elara gets picked, she won't actually have to go, right?"The words hit like a slap.Hard.Orion's fists clenched until his nails dug into his palms.He didn't feel it.Then a group of she-wolves leaned close, whispering."Those three only care about Dana now.""Yeah. They stopped giving a damn about Elara a long time ag

  • The Pack's Princess Left   Chapter 7

    Dawn had barely cracked the sky.Cassian rushed over and spotted Nikolai from a distance.Nikolai was slumped against Elara's door, exhaustion hanging off him. A polished wooden box sat by his feet, stuffed with gifts.Dark circles bruised his eyes. Red veins threaded through his stare.He'd been guarding her door all night."You stayed out here all night?" Cassian's voice softened.Nikolai slowly lifted his head. His eyes were dull, but hope still flickered there."I wanted to see her first thing."He ran his hand over the wooden box, his voice soft."These are all for Elara. I picked every one myself. I want to make up for everything I owe her."Cassian went quiet and pulled out his own gift.A smooth, heart-shaped stone, polished until it gleamed, with Elara's name carved into it.Orion, who'd come with him, reached into his pocket too.A yarn charm, like the ones Elara used to love, only way better made.The three of them traded a look, guilt heavy in all their eyes.
