Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired: Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

Elora's POVWhen we approached the bouncer before the door, he eyed us warily, bald head and bushy chinstrap curtain making him look menacing. My chest tightened as we approached him, and my thundering heart threatened to jump out of my chest, as I struggled to breathe normally. Davina touched my arm slightly and spoke in my head.“Get your shits together, Stark,” her voice was a huff. “Make this easy for both of us.”“I’m trying,” I replied in her head. “Passes,” the husky man offered a hand, eyes narrow. Davina presented hers with a flourish. As I handed my pass, my hands shook a little. The man snatched it and lifted it in the air, eyes narrow as he examined it.“Did you think someone could fake those passes?” Davina huffed aloud at the man.He grunted. “Some have done it before. Travelers. You both radiate the same magical energy. I need to be sure.”“I see,” Davina grumbled. “Make it quick. You’re boring me.”The man turned the card again and again, then lifted the other car

Elora's POVWhen I walked through the darkness-filled entrance, I was surprised to find myself in a familiar place. The ground was clay, and I was surrounded by cave walls with markings glowing brightly and faintly. For a moment, I didn’t move. I looked this way and that way, just to be sure. I was in the labyrinth.I blinked. This has to be some kind of mistake. Why am I in the labyrinth?As I looked around me, glancing behind, Davina materialized before me. Her eyes widened slightly when our gaze met. “Elora,” she took a brisk few steps before me, grabbing my shoulder and pressing my arms so hard. “Uh… Davina?”“I wanted to be sure you were not an illusion,” she said.“Well, I’m not.” I frowned a little. “Why are we in the labyrinth?” Davina shook her head. “This is supposed to be an illusion.” She made the gesture she did inside the school building, and I looked around, waiting for the atmosphere to shimmer. Nothing happened.“Uh… did you cast the spell correctly?” I asked, l

Elora's POV“I should be asking you the same question,” I frowned at Zack. One hand slipped into my dress, fiddling with the strap beneath, and rubbing against the penknife I had hidden.I knew that trying to summon magic in this supernaturally charged environment would be a waste of time. I’ve heard of people losing their powers just by casting magic in magically charged places with a vortex entrance and exit. Having the penknife hidden was a practical method. I may not be able to cast magic, but I’m sure I can fight. I’ve beaten Zack before, so it won’t be so difficult to beat him again. Zack glanced this way and that way, then leaned closer. “My fiancée may have saved you the other time, but look around you.” He hushed.Against my wish, I glanced around the room. There was no sign of Mira. “That’s right,” he continued. “One wrong move from you, and you’ll be leaving here in a body bag.”“Apologies,” I smirked a little. “But I guess you should be telling yourself that.”Zack’s

Elora's POVAs soon as I got to a safe corner of the house, I ignored Davina’s rambling about how silly the cloak and the mask they gave us were. Pulling my phone from the strap within my dress, I turned on the backlight to see two messages from Klaus. “Damn it,” I spat. Klaus picked this time to reach me, of all times. I wanted to ignore it, but I couldn't. A gut feeling that what he sent me could be related to what we were here for troubled me. I glanced around the room again, and a thought hit me. Everyone in the room who wasn’t chatting with anyone was either looking for a perfect hideout to wear the clothing, or was examining it. I slid the device into the folds of the black cloth, letting half of my screen peek through, and then glanced around. This looked subtle enough. No one would notice what I was doing at all. I scrolled down Klaus’s old messages to the recent ones, reading the first dialogue box. I FOUND WERIDO. SHE’S NOT WHAT SHE SEEMS.I paused. A she? The ‘werid

Elora's POVDavina tapped her hand on Lloyd’s forehead, and he vanished in a poof. I glared at her. “We’ve told you before. Stop that.”“It was the only way of saving him from being caught,” Davina replied.“Are you doing okay?” A baritone interrupted us. It took everything in me not to flinch. As Elora pushed the window closed, I turned to see a bald, pretty boy.“We’re fine, thank you,” I said with zero smile on my face.“I was thinking you had someone out there,” he gestured to the closed window. “But it seems like you both were having an argument.”“We’re cool,” Davina said sharply. “I was just telling her about how I’d prefer a night of marshmallows over the whole thing going on here. I mean, she dragged me into following her.”“Davina!” I called.“See what I’m telling you?” She continued. “She can’t even let me have a conversation with a cute boy. She always wants to be in charge.”The man leaned away with a cringe. “I probably shouldn’t get into this conversation.” He said and
