All Chapters of The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Elora's POVI hurried after Lloyd as he left the living room for the stairs, trying to get him to stop and listen to me. He was so obsessed with the Kimber woman that she thinks the woman is some daughter of Davina Kimber, the woman she claimed was the ghost I met yesterday—or as he likes to call her, the witch.“Can you stop for one second and listen to me!” I gasped, and he stopped just at the foot of the stairs before he turned to me. I continued. “How sure are you that this woman is Davina’s daughter? You said yourself that the Kimber witches were sent packing by your uncle during your father’s reign.”“Exactly, and the woman claimed she never met her mother,” he defended.I shook my head slowly as a few strands fell over my face. “Oh, c’mon. For all it’s worth this could all be a lucky coincidence.”‘Or not,” he retorted. “But we don't know that. Listen, Elora, our best shot at finding out who she really is…is by going to summon the witch.”“Wait, what?” I blinked. “You’re goin

Elora's POVAfter we managed to get the lady who introduced herself as Lena Kimber, we sat in the study still debating the matter of the Kimber witch. Right now, I was almost swayed, believing that Lloyd was somehow right with his proposition. But I was still trying to dismiss it as a coincidence.“For all it’s worth, all of this could be a huge coincidence,” I said weakly, leaning back on the couch facing Lloyd. He didn’t reply. His gaze was glued on the space around his desk, as if Davina Kimber was standing somewhere around there without my knowledge.“I don’t think so,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life.”“What makes you so sure?” I asked. He looked at me as if he was just seeing me for the first time. “Don’t you see it? First, witchy-bitchy appears to me, suddenly interested to help my cause, then suddenly the witch chosen is her daughter, and suddenly her granddaughter is on my side again?”I blinked. “Uh…who is witchy-

Elora's POVThe ebony mage sounded like she knew a lot more than she was letting on, and that worried me.We just revealed that her great-grandmother appeared to us, and she reacted like she knew so much about it. I was tired of running into all the spare relationships since we began the serious work of tracing down sorcery and finding the people engaged in it. Lena looked like another distraction, and I don’t think we are willing to tolerate that at all.“What’s wrong?” I asked as calmly as possible, even when every nerve in me yelled to go sarcastic. Lena turned to me, her hair slightly dishevelled from raking it too much.“I don’t know, I don’t know…I’ve been seeing Davina in my dreams for some time now, and there is stuff she’s been telling me. Stuff about some occult…CC…Crimson Circle?” Lena looked up at me, then dragged her gaze to Lloyd. “Does any of this make any sense?” I asked.Lloyd and I shared a look, and I replied before Lloyd could talk. “It depends.”“My mom said i

Lloyd's POVAfter Elora left the room with Lena, I walked to the seat Elora had abandoned and sat down. My mind was bothered by the urgency of the cleansing ritual and the things Lena claimed Davina told her. For some reasons, I felt Lena held back on what Davina told her, but I also didn’t want to get on her bad side since she has agreed to help us. “You don’t look so bright today, Alpha,” Xavier noted. “Is it because of the situation last night?”“What situation?” I gave him a sharp look.He hesitated. “The one between you and Elora. The one you’ve refused to say anything about.”I dragged my gaze away from his face and leaned back, hanging my gaze on the ceiling. The gold lines on the white ceiling seemed to fade in and out. I blinked my eyes closed. “I told you we are cool,” I said.“Are you sure about that?” Xavier asked. “Because you don’t sound so sure.”“Are you doubting me right now?” I threw the question back at him. He didn’t reply immediately. The silence let me go ba

Elora's POVI believed that Lloyd would come up with some miraculous plan to save us from the ordeal of the Crimson Circle. None of us has an idea of how they are going to intercept the Crimson ritual. The only thing we know is that they have their own posing as the witch. And that is where it gets all complicated.We don’t know if the lady posing as Miranda is the actual Crimson Circle witch or whether she was just a grifter. Either way, we know that some members of the Crimson Circle will show up, and when they do, we don’t even know how we’d identify them.I had my fair share of dealing with Darius, and I hoped that my magic would intervene like it always does, but I still feared that thing might go wrong somehow. I entangled my arms with Lloyd as I joined him, my eyes overlooking the clearing downstairs. A couple of omegas were setting up long firewood for a gigantic campfire.Standing with Lloyd in the room felt much better than staying alone, so I relished the moment as I ma
