Semua Bab Run Little Mate: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Kael's POV My face darkened when I registered her insult towards Elara. "Don't insult her." My words, although short carried my anger and firmness as I stared at Selene with a dark look. Her smile dropped as she eyed me with annoyance and menace. "You don't get to tell me what to say and what not to, Kael. Especially when it's because of that whoring birth cow of a bitch who thinks she's all that just because she was blessed with the mark." "I'll say it again, Selene. Elara is not a bitch nor a whore so stop calling her one. If you do one more time, I'll make sure you regret it totally." I warned as my eyes gleamed with unbridled rage. Who does she think she is to Insult Lara like that? If anyone is the bitch, then it's surely her. I can't believe that there was once a time I believed her to be innocent. Who knew that she was nothing more than a scheming, two faced witch with a entitled complex. At this point, I'm not even sure if her previous claims of liking me was ever true or

Elara's POVMy hand moved almost mechanically as I sorted through the piles of herbs on the table. My mind was clouded with worry but even then, my movements never swayed nor did they falter as I went on with my task with a familiarity and skill I had honed for years since staying at the alliance pack.It has been close to a month since Kael left and I've not heard anything from him ever since.No message. No news. No nothing.If not because of the mate bond between us that was still pulsing quite strongly indicating that he was still alive, I would have gone batshit crazy already.The first few days had been absolute torture as when I wasn't trying to fake my calm so that Eren wouldn't be more depressed than he obviously was, I was busy staring out the window while wondering what state Kael was in.Although he was alive, he might not be in a good state since there has been no news since. Time and time again, I found myself and my thoughts spiraling and I couldn't control it at all.I

Elara's POVMy knees gave out and I found myself stumbling forward as I fell with a dull thud besides Aunt Cordelia. She looked up at me and I could see the slow recognition in her eyes.My throat felt tight and I was on the verge of breaking down but looking into her shimmering eyes filled with so much pain, I held myself back.I couldn't break down. Not when she was like this.Without a word, I wrapped my arms around her heaving shoulders, pulling her into my embrace and she froze for a bit but soon clung to me, her tears soaking through my clothes.“He’s gone, Elara. He’s gone,” she spluttered out between sobs. “My Ro. My love. He just… left me.”I held her tighter, my own tears falling silently into her hair. I eventually couldn't control it.I rocked her back and forth in a bid to comfort her and maybe.... Myself.For minutes, I knelt there on the floor with her as she cried her heart out. Her fingers dug into my skin multiple times but I couldn't even bring myself to feel pain

Elara's POVIt took a while to gather myself after my emotional breakdown with Eren and worse still, I had to almost immediately find a way to hide my tears from him.Left with no way out, I had to send him out to go find Leah while hiding my face and hoping my croaky and hoarse voice wouldn't show.Eren looked up at me with confusion at first and I was scared that he would question my state but thankfully, he eventually didn't as he ran off.After that, I had basically taken another shower as if to wash off traces of my sadness.That was almost an hour ago. Now Leah and Eren were out of the house and heading towards the location specified for the funeral.On my way, I couldn't help but notice how bleak and gray the sky was despite it being almost to noon. It was as if the sky recognized the sadness we all felt and was showing signs of depression too.Of course I knew it was just rain but I couldn't help but feel that way.Soon we got to the location and I noted that the whole pack wa

Elara's POVThe infirmary was my safe space. The four walls and the shelves crammed with jars as well as the stain of residual herb juice on the countertop that we never got removed even till now. It was all very familiar and constant.And right now, I need that bit of stability in my life more than ever.With Uncle Ro's sudden demise as well as Kael's sudden departure, I needed something that hadn't changed. Something that would tell me that my life was not going haywire, at least in some way.Here, dealing with all sorts of herbs and getting as busy as possible was meant to help me suppress the chaotic mess called thoughts. It was meant to make me forget about the gaping hole in my chest stemming from all the negative things that had happened lately. It was meant to make me forget that someone in the pack possibly had it out for me and not in the normal petty way. It was meant to make me momentarily forget that someone possibly wanted me dead and that the person might probably be
