Elora's POV. “I can't believe that after saving you, you still don't see me as your Alpha and your mate!”Alpha Killian's words pierced through my head countless times, even when he wasn't with me. It felt as though he was standing closer to me. I couldn't get his voice out of my head. It kept haunting me, and it made me worry. I worried about the fact that he had actually left the room feeling down and furious. I wished to stop him before he exited the room, but it wasn't possible, seeing how angry he was before he walked out of the room. “Was I brutal towards him? I should have just said I'd think about it rather than telling him that he'd take over my pack when we were gone!” I let out to myself as I struck my forehead in frustration. From the second he left the room, I had been feeling uncomfortable. Sitting for a few seconds was pretty impossible for me at this point. Just as I was still struggling with my thoughts and trying to get my head together, the door opened, making

Killian's POV. Opening my eyes gradually, I couldn't help but feel unsettled by the sight that was before me. Elora, my mate was nowhere to be found, and it made me worry for a split second. I suddenly recalled the fact that we had argued before she ran off, but that wasn't supposed to be a good reason for her to leave me all alone in bed and be lost to sight. “Why is she being so dramatic?” I muttered as I stood up from my bed and walked over to the window, my eyes fixed out of it as I waited for her to return. I wasn't going to show it, but I was definitely going to be so excited if she returned to the house. I was longing for her, and I needed her closer to my side. Seconds, minutes, and hours had passed, and yet, Elora was nowhere to be found. I turned to look at the wall clock, and at this point, I was beginning to get extremely worried. “It's really late... Elora isn't someone that stays up late at night... or...” merely then, my heart raced rapidly as the thought came to

Elora's POV. As I regained consciousness, I was welcomed with a stinging sensation in my head, making me clench my eyes tightly.I slowly opened my eyes, and I realised that I wasn't in my father's tomb anymore, nor was I in my room or the pack. I was in a dark space that I couldn't see anything in. I couldn't see a single person in it either. I was all alone, and it made me terrified for a split second. “Where is this place?” I whispered beneath my breath as I looked around the place, trying to see if I could get a resemblance to the place for a moment, but it was impossible.Just as I was still looking around the place, I felt the stinging sensation again, making me clutch my head. “Ahh! I guess the Wolfbane is still affecting me!” I said under my breaths as I blamed the Wolfbane incident for what was happening. I stood up to my feet, trying to get myself out of the place and at least get back home or find my way home, but unfortunately, I heard footsteps walking into the place

Elora's POV.“Stay calm, Elora... He might not really want the pack, you know?” Bryce urged me to try to calm my nerves down. “You said it yourself, Bryce... He was trying to take my pack just a few hours after I went missing.” I remarked, turning to glance at him. “Do you have any idea that I would have been killed if you didn't come to my rescue?” I added, rolling my eyes before I averted my gaze away from him.“But you…” Bryce was going to say as he walked closer to me, but then the sudden appearance of Killian before the door halted him in his tracks. “Elora!” Killian enunciated with joy in his tone as he ran towards me. He was definitely going to hug me, but then I stopped him. “Don't you dare come closer to me, Killian!” I warned with my eyes, glaring at him. “I… I don't understand, Elora… Is something wrong? I am happy that you are back safely so why are you acting this way?” He asked, looking confused, but I knew he was just acting up. “You are what is wrong, Killian! I

Killian's POV. “No one hurts my Luna, and take off unrestricted! Find him and make sure you bring him here! Is that clear?” I commanded with a deep voice, and because Beta Dayton wouldn't want to get on my bad side, he swiftly bowed his head. Reluctantly, he left the room and headed right towards the exit of the mansion. I understood that he didn't want me to be in harm's way; he cared for me so much and wouldn't want anything to happen to me, but at this point, I didn't care. At this point, just one thing meant so much to me, and that was to find out who did it to Elora and prove to her that I was innocent and that I wasn't the kind of Alpha that she presumes me to be. She has always blamed me for killing her father, but little did she know that I had tried to save her father and was almost killed too. “I guess she won't listen to me until I prove it to her! And I must do that sooner! I need to make her see me as her Alpha and her mate!” My fist clenched as I said to myself, my
