~Chapter Twenty Nine~

Kai’s POV

Elara rushed inside immediately after the car stopped. I could tell she was in a bad mood, even when she tried to hide it.

By the time I got inside the room the shower was on with light sobs coming from the bathroom. She was crying again.

I could feel her pain hard in my chest, even my wolf was silent, folding in.

This was the result from the mark.

Quietly, I walked to the door. My keen ears could hear her sniffling.

The way she had hugged me earlier, shaking i

  • WANTED; THE ALPHA’S HUMAN MATE   ~30~ THE HAND SHAKE

    ~Chapter Thirty~Elara’s POV Kai stepped down from his car and walked straight toward us with an unreadable expression, pulling me into his arms right in front of Zara. This was unlike him. The Kai I knew wouldn't hug me in front of Zara, let alone everyone.For a second, I froze before I gave in to his hug. As we hugged, I felt the cold radiating from his body. Then I realized he needed warmth, so I squeezed him tighter. But I didn't touch the mark on his chest. Then why did his body still feel this cold? Could there be any chance it was never about the mark? "Come," he said, holding my hands. "Let's go." Zara cleared her throat, a wide smile spreading across her face. "It's clear love mates don't even recognize their sisters anymore." I chuckled lightly as Kai turned to her. "I think it's high time you returned to school, big head." He rubbed her hair playfully. "Oh no, I can't seem to get enough of the power couple." "Mmm... you never get tired of your jokes." He smile

She was crying again.I could feel her pain hard in my chest, even my wolf was silent, folding in.This was the result from the mark.Quietly, I walked to the door. My keen ears could hear her sniffling.The way she had hugged me earlier, shaking in my arms while I stroked her hair, flashed. A part of me wanted to open that door, hug her again, kiss and tell her everything would be fine.Instead, I rested my head on the door and closed my eyes in frustration because I hated to admit I cared about how she felt and how much her feelings affected me.Was I turning weak for her? Maybe the Elders were right. This isn’t me, I wouldn’t be disturbed over a human girl.The only possible way to ignore her was to get busy with the alliance. Afterall

    ~Chapter Twenty Eight~Elara’s POV It was her.I stopped moving, and for a second, I felt blank."Aunty Tabitha?" I whispered.Kai held my hand closely. "It's not worth it, Elara."I turned to Kai, my hands shaking, tears welling up in my eyes.He was right. Seeing her wasn't worth it.It only reminded me of her ill treatment towards me since my mother died.Before I entered the car, I gave one last glance, but she was already out of sight.What was she doing out there?I couldn't believe she looked all fine, like she hadn't thrown me away to fend for house rent. I was sure she never cared whether I was missing.The ride to the next meeting was short yet heavy.My chest carried a weight I could barely hold. I stifled my sobs with my palm while staring out the window, hoping Kai wouldn't question me.I thought I had buried those memories long ago, but seeing her brought everything back.It was time to step out, yet I wasn't ready."Give me a few minutes, please," I said to Kai, sniffi

    ~Chapter Twenty Seven~ Elara’s POV Cold.That was the first thing I felt. Even with the blanket covering me, it seemed like Kai wasn't next to me. I stretched out my hand and found the other side of the bed empty. Where did he go this time? I wanted to roll closer to him, hug him, and sleep in his arms again like yesterday night. I couldn't get over the kiss and the way his strong arms wrapped around me. Even when I pretended it hadn't affected me, the kiss gave me away. How could I have stopped myself when his lips were so soft and the heat that bloomed in my stomach felt impossible to ignore? Instantly, I opened my eyes only to find Mr. Prince standing at the door, smiling as he watched my hand stretched in his direction. Gasping, I quickly pulled my hands back to my side. He chuckled. "You're awake." "Yes. Good morning." I sat up, avoiding his gaze. I heard his footsteps approaching before he leaned forward, watching me closely. His thumb brushed against my shoulders

  • WANTED; THE ALPHA’S HUMAN MATE   ~26~ You are mine

    ~Chapter Twenty Six~Kai’s POV“It’s not your place to do that, Lucian.” I walked up close to him, grabbing his shirt. “Stay away from my mate.”My blood boiled watching Lucian hold Elara like that. I couldn’t wave the feeling away.What was he up to this time? The Lucian I knew always had a motive, cunning since we were kids.“Now you care, huh? You couldn’t defend her when she was framed for stealing.” His jaw tightened, eyes fixed on mine.Our eyes were fixed on each other like it was a challenge.“Don’t push me, Lucian.” My wolf growled, a warning deep enough to teach him never to go anywhere near our mate again.But I held back. Fighting my brother without solid proof was a bad image. It only showed weakness and vulnerability.“Don’t you ever, I repeat, corner her like that to ask her useless questions.” I snapped, loosening my grip on him.He rolled his eyes at me, arranging his shirt as he turned to leave.I grabbed Elara’s hand, storming into the bedroom.“What’s going on wit

    ~Chapter Twenty Five~ Elara’s POV I was about to lay down when I heard a knock at the door. I took a deep breath, hoping it wasn’t one of the guards or Nala. I hadn’t even processed how Kai spoke to me yet. “Elara,” Zara called out. “It’s me.” “Oh, Come in.” She rushed in before I even knew it. “Hey, I’ve missed you.” She pulled me into a quick hug while we sat. I forced a smile. “Same here.” She pulled back and looked at my face. “How did the meeting go?” I exhaled. “It went terrible, Zara,” I blurted out. “Is that why you look all moody?” Zara gestured with her hands. “Come, I know what might brighten your mood.” I followed her to the kitchen, where she signaled my guards to step back before handing me a cupcake from the fridge. “Wait, before you eat, let me test it.” She collected it from my hand. Wow, even his sister still obeyed his rules. She took a bite and returned it to me while I watched her cute smile. “Thank you,” I said, eating it. Minutes later, Zar
