ログイン~Chapter Sixty Three~Elara’s POVI blinked slowly, still trapped between sleep and being fully awake.The first thing I felt was warmth and strong arms holding me securely against a broad chest.Before I fully realized it was Kai.My cheek was pressed against his shirt, and I could hear the steady thud of his heartbeat beneath my ear. For a second I forgot where I was. Then I remembered the office, the ceremony records, and the fact that I had apparently fallen asleep while working. Heat rushed to my face. I was being carried away from the office, almost all the way to our bedroom. “Oh no,” I muttered, trying to straighten up. Kai’s grip tightened around me when I tried to move. “Easy,” he said calmly. “You almost slipped out of my hands trying to do that.” “Did you carry me all the way from the office?” I asked, horrified. “You were asleep on the records,” he replied. “What was I supposed to do, leave you there until morning?” I buried my face in my hands for a second. “Thi
~Chapter Sixty Two~Kai’s POVHe shook his head. “I can’t say, Alpha. But all I know is that you need to consummate your bond soon.”I lifted my head to look at him. “How soon?”“You both decide how soon you need to do it. Otherwise the cold will keep getting worse, and soon she’ll be the only thing on your mind. That could drive your wolf crazy and it might take over.”That was a bad option. If my wolf took over, it would cause chaos and might lead to me forcing her into something she didn’t want, and I wasn’t going to let that happen.“Any estimated time before it gets worse?” I asked.He held his hands together. “I can’t say for certain, but once the cold becomes severe and the potions no longer help, you’ll know it has gotten worse.”I exhaled and sat there for a while, almost absent from my own thoughts.This was getting harder every day with her.“I’ll be needing more of this potion for now.” I glanced at the finished bottle that was on the side table.“I’ll have it brought to
~Chapter Sixty One~Kai’s POV The moment I stepped out of the alliance meeting, the cold hit me again.It wasn’t the weather.It started from somewhere deep inside my chest and spread through my body until my hands felt colder than they should.I clenched my jaw and kept walking through the corridor, ignoring the strange restlessness from my wolf crawling beneath my skin.This was the third time it had happened in two days.Every time I stayed away from the pack house for too long, the same cold came.I exhaled deeply.Was this because of the mark that only responded to Elara’s touch?Ever since it had glowed beneath her hand for the first time, I hadn’t felt the same.I had noticed it was becoming more frequent. Anytime I wasn’t around her for too long, even without her touch, I would feel empty and cold in a way that only her presence could ease.At first, I tried to explain it away. If Elara was my mate, then maybe the mark reacting to her touch had been inevitable. Maybe it was
~Chapter Sixty~Elara’s POV What the hell? Why was he staring at me like that? This was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life. Heat rushed to my face as I realized I was soaked between my thighs, my cheeks blushing bright red. I wished I was alone and not with the same man I’d seen in my dream, having the best night of my life I’d hoped to experience since I turned eighteen. Now I couldn’t even bring myself to say a single word. I hurried into the bathroom, shut the door behind me, and leaned against the wall, burying my face against the cold wall. An unsatisfied groan escaped my lips. Why would I even dream of him like that? And why was he just sitting there looking at me? The dream had felt so real. I could still remember the way his fingers had trailed across my skin, the way he’d filled me in with his length. Or did we really do it? No. It was just a dream, I assured myself. The last time I’d dreamed this vividly was about the men in the forest, and par
~Chapter Fifty Nine~Elara’s POV “I don’t fully understand what having a wolfless child could cost you,” I admitted, looking from one to the other. “But I do understand one thing. You’ve spent years building this marriage. Don’t let shame or what people say destroy you.” The man’s jaw tightened. “Luna, you don’t understand.” I was speechless at that point. How was I supposed to mend a broken marriage among werewolves over a child? Taking a deep breath, I nodded. “Perhaps. Which is why I won’t come to a conclusion based on a single conversation with you today.” “But, Luna, our bond can’t last past today. She needs to leave with her wolfless daughter,” he spat. She sobbed, covering her face. “Where would I go?” This felt like betrayal, and I wasn’t going to sit back and watch another woman cry because of his selfish decision. “You’re ready to lose the two most precious people in your life because your daughter is wolfless?” I snapped. “The shame is too much,” the man replied.
~Chapter Fifty Seven~ Elara’s POV Thank you, Lucian.” I called just as he reached the door. “Wait. Did you hang the two men?” He stopped and looked back as a light laugh escaped him. “Trust me, I would’ve loved to.” He folded his arms. “But as much as I need to, they’re still useful. They’re spilling some very dirty secrets.” “Both of them?” I asked curiously. “No, one of them.” He tilted his head. “Why are you suddenly so concerned about them?” “I…” I stuttered. “Nothing. I just don’t like death and all that stuff, you know?” That was part of the reason but far from the real one. He smirked. “Death is necessary sometimes, Elara. It’s one way to eliminate injustice, isn’t it?” “Yeah…” I nodded slowly. “Any leads from the confession yet? Is Ironstone still involved? And those people you warned me about… do you think they’re among them, or are they still out there?” “Hm.” He walked a little closer, studying me. “I see why you’re concerned now. You’re afraid your
~Chapter Four~Elara’s PovI ran deep into the woods hoping for a familiar trace of home.My lungs burned, my chest pounded fast like it would burst. My eyes were fuzzy as I continued to lose blood. I didn't know how long I had been walking but I had to keep moving.I kept running yet no familiar
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 Two~Elara’s POVBlindfolded, all I could hear were footsteps.Who were these people.Heat flowed through my stomach. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking no matter how hard I tried.“And keep her in the room next to mine.”Those were his last words to his guards after my plea of being innocent.
~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
