CHAPTER ONE

Elara’s POV“What do you mean you’re cancelling your birthday party because of a guy?” Anita’s voice came sharp, her brows lifted high in that disbelieving way she always did when she thought I was making a mistake.I exhaled, clutching my phone tighter, the screen still open to the last call I had with Jude. “It’s not just any guy, Anita,” I said, maybe a little too loud, my chest aching with the weight of it. “That’s my boyfriend for crying out loud. Jude had an accident.” My throat tightened as I spoke, but I forced the words out.Anita frowned, shaking her head like she couldn’t understand me at all. “So you’re going to cancel your own birthday party? Elara, do you even hear yourself right now?”“Yes, I hear myself,” I shot back, leaning forward, my voice breaking. “What kind of girlfriend would I be if my boyfriend had an accident and I still went on with the party? Laughing, dancing with other boys while he’s lying in a hospital bed? Do you know how heartless that sounds? As a m

CHAPTER TWO

Elara's POV“I, Jude Walker of Night Guard Pack, reject you, Elara Phillips of Night Guard Pack.” His voice sliced through the air, cold and final, like a blade cutting through everything we’d built.I stood frozen for a moment, my hands shaking at my sides, the weight of his rejection pressing down on me. My throat burned, but I forced myself to speak, to hold onto the last shred of dignity I had left. “I, Elara Phillips of Night Guard Pack, accept your rejection.” My voice was low, trembling with all the pain I was trying so hard to keep inside. Each word felt like it was ripping something out of me, something vital, something I’d never get back.A sharp pain pierced through my chest— The mate bond. It had completely shattered and it was fucking painful.I didn’t look at him again, couldn’t bear to see the indifference in his eyes or the smug curve of Lily’s lips as she sat there, wrapped in his blanket, claiming what I thought was mine.I turned to pick up all that I had bought bef

CHAPTER THREE

Elara’s POVI quickened my pace so I could quickly get back home. A vehicle would have made things faster for me because of how far I had gone away from the pack while thinking, but then I could barely see any. Now I had to just walk the same way I came.The silence was getting even creepier out here and I couldn’t just wait to reach home.A droplet of water hit me, not once, not twice, each heavier than the other and then I realised that even the worse could become worser, if there’s even a word as such.The rain became brutal but I could barely even find a shade. Myclothes clung heavy against my body, my shoes squelched with every step, and I was shivering so hard my teeth hurt. I clutched my soaked bag to my chest, even though everything inside was already ruined, as if holding onto it would keep me from falling apart.The rain kept beating down. My arms wrapped around myself, numb fingers digging into my skin as I stumbled toward the only shelter I could see—a huge tree by the roa

CHAPTER FOUR

Elara’s POVA full week had past, yet my mind refused to let go of that moment. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him again—that Angel with Ocean Blue eyes. I didn’t even know his name, and yet he haunted me more than Jude ever had. In my head, I played out different versions of us—sometimes he pulled me close, sometimes he leaned in so near I could almost feel his breath, sometimes he simply looked at me with that same sharp gaze until I broke apart inside.It was foolish, I knew. He was a shadow I couldn’t chase, a man who didn’t belong to me. But still, I imagined him. I imagined what it would feel like if his hand brushed against mine, if he spoke my name like it meant something. And every time, my chest ached with a want I couldn’t name.But no amount of fantasies could shield me from reality.The pack house was alive with movement that morning. Bright banners draped across the hall, long tables were set with food and wine, and soldiers stood in their best uniforms along the wal

CHAPTER FIVE

Elara’s POVI bent my head quickly, trying to avoid his eyes, but it was too late— his eyes had already found me. His steps echoed louder and louder as he stepped closer. For a moment, I thought he was going to stop in front of me, but thankfully, he walked past.I let out a sigh of relief. “He probably doesn’t remember me.” I said, trying to make myself feel better. “All rise!” His tone was intimidating and sweet all at once. Now he was sitting by the side of the stage where all dignitaries sat, his chair higher than others. The rest of the ceremony was nothing but blur to me. The cheering, the clinking of glasses—it all faded like echoes underwater, distant and muffled. My body was here, my eyes on the stage, but my mind couldn’t hold onto anything except the moment his eyes found mine. Those same ocean-blue eyes from that night, the ones I had been seeing in dreams, the ones that had haunted me every time I closed my eyes. Only now, I knew the truth. He wasn’t an angel. He wasn

CHAPTER SIX

Chapter 6Elara’s POVThe Alpha’s words still rang in my ears almost a minute longer.“Now go pack your things, we leave before dawn.”My father opened his mouth, pushing his chair to stand up, protest written across his face, but before a single word could escape his lips, the Alpha’s voice cut through, his tone cold and commanding, leaving no room for argument.“That is final!”“You will obey,” he said simply, and that was that.My father’s shoulders slumped, as he almost shamefully returned to sit.I could see it in his eyes… he wanted to protect me, he wasn't sure, neither of us were of what the Lycan Kings intentions were, but even he had limits.I sat there frozen still, my hands clenched at my sides, every instinct screaming to run and to hide.But there was nowhere to hide, not from him.Leaving my pack, leaving my family behind, it felt like the most difficult thing to do, and hey a small part of me in that moment was relieved, relieved that I won't see Jude’s face again, tha

CHAPTER SEVEN

Elara’s POVThe sun hadn’t fully risen yet, but the world around me was already awake.The air outside our packhouse was thick with the faint scent of morning dew.My things were already packed… two bags, one filled with clothes, the other with items, books and stuffs that I couldn't leave behind.The black SUV waiting at the edge of the courtyard.Its sleek form was almost ominous, and the sight of it made my stomach twist.This was it.I was leaving home.One could only amaze how much power was in the mouth of just a Lycan.My whole life was about to change because of just his words…My mother stood beside me, trying her best to hold herself together, but her eyes were filled with tears that betrayed her calm expression.My father’s arm was wrapped around her shoulders, his gaze set firmly on me.The pain was just as clear on his face.I had never seen them both look this fragile… like they were trying to memorize every detail of me before I was gone.“Mom…” My voice cracked the sec

CHAPTER EIGHT

Elara’s POV“What’s a Lyanna?” The question left my lips before I could stop it.The King’s eyes met mine, his cold and unreadable gaze meeting mine.For a moment, he said nothing.Then a faint and humorless chuckle escaped him. “You’ll know soon enough, Elara.”‘Elara..’The way he said my name made my blood run cold instantly.And then he turned away, his long coat trailing behind him as he began to ascend the grand staircase.I stood frozen in place, my pulse thudding against my ribs.I wanted to ask more, to demand what the hell he meant by Lyanna but common sense stopped me in my tracks.The last thing I wanted to do was annoy someone who could disappear me in a flash.Just then, a voice broke through my daze. “Miss, if you’d follow me, please.”I turned to see a servant waiting beside me.It was a woman, maybe in her forties, dressed in crisp black attire and wearing a polite smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.I nodded slowly, clutching my hands together as I followed her d

CHAPTER NINE

Aldric POV“You’re looking for this…”My voice came out low and dangerous.Elara shivered, her bare shoulders trembling as my eyes burned through her naked body.I've seen enough of a naked woman's body to not be moved even in the slightest.I held her towel in my arms, somewhat enjoying the helpless look on her face.Her vulnerability was palpable, and seeing her like that fueled my desire in a way few others have.She was exposed.I could see the goosebumps rise on her skin, the nipples on her plump breasts hardening further as the cool air kissed her body.I pushed off the doorframe, my movements deliberate and slow, as I stepped closer to her.The air between us thickened with tension.I closed the gap between us instantly, seeing anxiety in her eyes.She didn't know what I was going to do next and to be honest, neither did I.“...my towel..” she whispered, her eyes betraying her.I could see right through her, a small part of her didn't want me to just give her the towel, it wa

CHAPTER TEN

Elara’s POVThe air in my room still carried his scent.I could feel it on my skin long after he left… his warm touch that aroused me instantly.I sank slowly onto the edge of the bed, my mind replaying everything that had just happened.The way his eyes locked on my naked body making me feel vulnerable.I pressed a trembling hand to my chest, as though that would steady my heartbeat. I hated how helpless I felt to his gaze, but worse, I hated how my body had responded to his touch.The way my pulse had quickened suddenly. The urge to pull away wasn't there, instead my body craved for more.God! I was pathetic.I curled my knees against my chest and stared at the wall.I closed my eyes and whispered, “Get a grip, Elara.”You’re not his plaything. You’re not his toy. You’re nothing to him.But no matter how many times I said it, my heart didn’t listen.The silence in the room grew heavier, pressing against me until I could hear nothing but the sound of my own breathing.I didn't know
