Elora's POV. “He has a traumatic past, and he can't control himself during the full moon! We have to do something! We must save him!” Stella cried as she pulled herself out of my grip and started again to try to break down the door. She kept on hitting it with her body, which was definitely going to cause harm to her body. She wasn't willing to stop, and it made me feel a sudden guilt on the inside of me. All this time, I was thinking about my painful past, but as it stood, it was certain that Alpha Killian was the one with a tragic past. For an Alpha, as strong as he was to have a traumatic experience, it wasn't just anything that had happened to him. He was pained, and he still blamed himself for what had transpired in the past. “If only I knew, would I not have blamed him or accused him of trying to take my pack away from me?” I pondered, as I couldn't help but hear the growling sound he made right inside the room. I bet werewolves, those who were close by would know that the

Elora's POV. I felt bad seeing Alpha Killian look so weak and vulnerable. I couldn't stop thinking about how he had glared at me too the second I tried getting closer to where he was standing. “It's all over now, Alpha Killian... It's over, truly!” I muttered as I patted him on the back like he was a child. I knew he couldn't hear what I was saying, but I was certain that his inner wolf was still there and awake. “Elora? Are you okay?” Chief Grayson asked as he and Stella ran into the room. It was obvious that he must have been scared to death, and he wished I had listened to him too. “Elora?” He called out, his hand reaching for my hair, as he thanked the goddess for saving my life before his eyes. He was certain that he had seen me end my own life too. “Can you quit your Thanksgiving and help me out here?” I complained as Killian's weight was becoming too much for me to bear and handle.He was a man, and I was a woman. Even if we were of the same rank, an Alpha, there was no wa

Killian's POV. “Mother! Father! Please, please don't go. Don't leave me!” I cried bitterly as pain tore through my insides. I hid at the bottom of the car, just as my mother had instructed me. I was just a weak little boy, without a mother and a father, during the full moon. *******“Ughh!” I gasped as my eyes snapped open, the ceiling in the room welcoming me back to reality immediately. “It was just another dream!” I muttered beneath my breath as I realised that I was never going back to my painful past. That I was never still that little boy who had to lie low while they killed his parents. “It's all just fucked up!” I mumbled softly.Just as I was caught up in my thoughts about what was happening or had happened to me, I suddenly felt something heavy on my right shoulder. Turning to my right-hand side, I found Elora, my Luna lying on my body. At his point, it dawned on me that something must have happened last night during the full moon, seeing how she was closer to me.My e

Killian's POV. “No one must know that she did this... Is that clear?” I questioned, turning to look at the already-dead man that was lying on the table before me. “Yes, Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton bowed his head as he responded. I understood that he didn't believe the man, but there was every possibility that Stella did it, that Stella had caused it all. Without wasting any more time, I turned on my heels and walked towards the door. Getting to the door, I halted and turned my gaze halfway towards Beta Dayton. “Make sure his body is taken care of secretly!” I ordered, and without a second word or glance at him, I dashed out of the room. My head filled with just one thought: Why would Stella want to hurt my mate that badly? I understood that she was lusting over me, but there was no way she would go this far just to prove her point. My fist clenched as the scene where the man had informed me that Stella did it to Elora came crawling back into my head. Immediately, I headed for

Elora's POV. “It's a waste of time trying to explain it to me, Elora... I understand if you'll never trust me!” Alpha Killian's words reverberated in my head as I sat down in the room all alone. I was left alone, and it felt kind of frustrating. I felt bad seeing him leave that way. I might have made a mistake, but it was definitely to protect my pack. I just wanted him to know that I was never going to fall for his tricks. He wanted my pack, but I wasn't going to give it to him. Just then, the pain in my hand became intense, and I couldn't help but let out a soft, painful cry as I clutched my hand tightly. “He is obviously in pain, and you can feel it... What more do you want him to do, Elora?” Kyla spoke up with a soft voice. I understood that she wanted me to be closer to Killian because he was my mate, but I didn't want to. “I don't care if he is in pain, Kyla. That isn't what makes him genuine, you know?” I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. “Come on, Elora, we both know how muc
