LOGINChapter 170Kai’s POVThe battlefield quickly became a mixture of men and beasts. Some fought with swords, while others used their claws and teeth. The sound of snarling and growling filled the forest. An Ironstone wolf broke through our line and lunged towards one of the younger warriors. Before I could reach him, Lucian intercepted the attack. He shifted mid-stride, knocking the wolf away before turning on another attacker. He could have stayed behind the line and protected himself, but he hadn’t. He had put himself in danger to protect one of our men. That was the brother I would commend. A few warriors nearby called out his name as they watched him drive the attackers back. Lucian barely acknowledged them. He turned and continued fighting. I looked away and returned to the battle. I wasn’t ready to trust him completely, but I couldn’t ignore what I had just seen. I felt my wolf pushing against me. Are you ready? I asked him. Ever ready. He growled beneath me.
Chapter 169 Kai’s POV The second report on Ironstone came just before dawn. Ironstone warriors had been sighted approaching our eastern border. I was already dressed when the guard entered my chambers. I took my sword from the table and followed him out. By the time I reached the training grounds, Kelvin and Lucian were waiting with several commanders. “How many of them now?” I asked. “More than the scouts reported last night,” Kelvin replied. “They’ve divided their forces into three groups.” I studied the map spread across the table. “They’re trying to surround us.” Lucian nodded. “If we allow them to reach the eastern passage, they’ll have access to the residential quarters.” “Then we don’t let them get there.” I pointed to the northern route. “Kelvin, take the first group to the eastern passage. Lucian, I want you to lead the warriors at the main entrance. Do not allow anyone to break through.” “And you?” Lucian asked. “I’ll take the remaining men to the
Chapter 168 Kai’s POV Kelvin returned to my study less than an hour later with a twisted face. I could feel a grief weight on him from afar. “Kelvin-“ He didn’t let me finish when he cut me off. “I found out where she could be,” he spoke up in a low voice. “It’s an old building on the eastern side of the pack. It’s reported that some Elders go there to gather.” The word I had been waiting for. I picked up my jacket. “Let’s go.” Kelvin glanced at me. “Promise you won’t do anything rash to her.” He tightened his jaw. “I have some questions for her.” He was hurting, and his request was the only valid thing to truly proof she was guilty of the charges. Obviously she’d deny but had my ways now, since I had more than a proof. I nodded. “Okay.” We left immediately. The building stood away from the main pack where our wolves lived. It had once been used by the enforcers, but it had been abandoned after I had restructured them. The windows were dusty, and the entr
Chapter 167 Elara’s POV He reached for my hand. “Then we won’t give her a chance to escape.” Kai’s hand tightened around mine as the guard hurried out to carry out his order. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The woman we had just discovered was behind so many of the troubles in our lives had disappeared suddenly. “Where could she have gone?” I asked. Kai released my hand and turned towards the door. “Get Kelvin,” he ordered one of the guards waiting outside. “Tell him to meet me in my study immediately.” “Right away, Alpha.” There was a guard said aloud. Kai turned to look at me. “You should return to your room. You need rest.” I shook my head. “I want to be here.” “Elara, this isn’t a discussion.” “And I’m not asking for permission.” I folded my arms. “Elizabeth has been involved in everything happening around us. She tried to kill you, and now we know her new plans to kill me. I want to be here to witness everything.” His jaw tightened, but he didn’t ar
Chapter 166 Elara’s POV The guard’s announcement left Kai and me staring at each other. “Sarai?” I repeated. Kai looked just as surprised. “What’s the plan this time?” “I don’t know,” I replied. “But I want to see her.” “Are you sure?” he asked. “You don’t have to come with me. I can handle this.” “I want to hear what she has to say.” Kai studied my face for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Stay close to me.” We left Zara’s room, leaving her under the care of the doctor and headed to see Sarai. But before kai arrived. He sent guards to go find Aunty Elizabeth and bring her to him. The guards opened the door when we arrived. Sarai stood near the centre of the room, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. Her clothes were untidy, and there were dark circles beneath her eyes. She looked as though she hadn’t slept properly in days. When she saw me, her expression turned. “Elara…Erhmm…Luna.” I said nothing, just folded my arms. She looked away and tur
Chapter 165 Elara’s POV I sat beside her and took her hand. “Zara, I’m going to try to help you,” I whispered. “Just follow my voice if you hear me.” Her eyes moved towards mine, but she didn’t respond. The doctor placed his hand over our joined hands and began the process. I felt a strange pressure build behind my eyes. My fingers tightened around Zara’s as the room gradually faded. When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in her room. I stood in a long white hallway with several doors lining its walls. The place was quiet, almost too quiet. I turned around, but there was no sign of Kai or the doctor. No sign of Zara either. “Zara?” My voice echoed down the hallway without an answer. Shakily, I walked towards the nearest white door and pushed it open. I could see little Zara sitting on the floor, laughing as her mother played with her. She looked happy, while her mother kept brushing her hair away from her face. I watched them for a moment. It was a warm memory, one t

Chapter Three Kai’s Pov “Mate! She is our Mate!” My wolf stirred trying to resurface. As an alpha I had learnt how to suppress my wolf from dominating. But this time he growled loudly at the back of my head making it unbearable to suppress. I clenched my fist underneath the council table as I

~Chapter One~Elara’s POV“Just do it, Elara,” Sarai whispered from behind me. “Give it to the man at the head of the table. "I promise you, he will clear your debt to the house. You’ll finally be free from your aunt's torment.”I sighed. This was my only chance to cover three months of rent my au
