"Can't you feel it? I've been holding back for months, resisting the urge to tell you about this, but seeing you now, Elara, I can't take it anymore. I am your fated mate," Damian confessed passionately, though Elara's love for Elijah still prevailed.Elara placed her hand on her chest, feeling the quickening of her heartbeat and the slow release of her breath. Even before Elara's wolf awakened, she sensed the fated bond with Damian.She couldn't deny Damian's words; there was truth in what he said.How did this happen? Why only now did she feel the bond between her and Damian? Is it because they only met again now?"Since I returned to the pack house a while back, I kept coming here because I immediately felt the bond between us the moment I saw you. My wolf reacted to your scent right away, but I also detected Elijah's predominant scent on you," Damian explained, avoiding direct eye contact with Elara.Who would have thought that the feared Alpha would now be bowing down to a seemin

Elara's father, Calisto, walked into her room in the morning to give her medication. Elara was his only child with his late wife, and even though he was raising her alone, he wanted to provide her with everything she needed.Calisto glanced at his sleeping daughter. She seemed to be having a bad dream, with furrowed brows and a troubled expression. Calisto wondered if Elara was dreaming again about Emely's death or if she was feeling the pain she had been enduring."Elara, wake up. It's morning," Calisto said as he gently touched his daughter's forehead. Elara had been running a fever for a week, so she couldn't join Fernanda and Fiona on their vacation.Calisto's forehead creased as Elara suddenly bolted upright as if emerging from a nightmare. She was drenched in sweat, gasping for breath. Tears streamed down Elara's face as she frantically clutched her stomach."My child! My child!" Elara searched for any sign of blood on her thighs, her head hitting each step of the stairs as she

For two days, Elara has been sulking in her room, lacking the appetite to eat or engage with others. She's always lost in thought, still grappling with the reality of it all. No matter how much she slaps or hurts herself, she remains seated on her bed, lost in her thoughts."It's all true, I know it's all true," Elara murmured, clutching her stomach. The pain of what happened still lingers, unable to accept that she was deceived by the people she loved and that her child had died."Elara! Have you eaten?" Elara turned to look as Melody, her best friend taking care of her now while Calisto, Fernanda, and Fiona were away, entered.Melody noticed that Elara hadn't even touched the food she prepared, and seeing her friend like this for the first time, she wondered what really happened here."Are you still sick?" Melody asked with concern as she touched Elara's forehead, feeling that her temperature was normal and that she no longer had a fever."Are you in pain? What's wrong, Elara? Tell

Elijah sat at the head of the long table, his brow furrowed in frustration. Delectable dishes and treats brought from various packs, courtesy of Gazina, were spread out before him, yet not a single morsel tempted him. His stomach had been protesting since yesterday."Damn Fiona," Elijah muttered irritably to himself as he waited for the arrival of his other guests and family members. "Was she planning to poison me or something?"'Maybe she actually bought those for Elara, but Elara handed them to you to win over her family's favor. Tough luck, mate,' replied Dexter, Elijah's wolf.'Well, I'm glad I got to eat them. What if Elara had eaten them instead? She's not feeling well; she might not have been able to attend the party. I want to introduce her to other members of the Reed family. I'm sure they'll be impressed by Elara's beauty,' he thought. He wanted to showcase his girlfriend's beautiful face and boast about her. They couldn't say anything to Elijah anyway because he was the Alp

Elara and Melody found themselves locked inside the quest house prepared for Melody and his family. Elara couldn't bring herself to go home, knowing her stepmom and stepsister were waiting there, ready to bombard her with questions.She wasn't in the mood to talk to them right now. She already had a lot on her mind, and adding those two to her problems wasn't something she wanted to deal with.Elara was sprawled on Melody's bed while she made hot chocolate to calm her friend down, who had been ranting about Elijah and his brother Damian since earlier."How do you think I can convince Elijah to accept my rejection? I don't want to stay in the Forestheart pack any longer; I just want to get away from all of them," Melody handed the mug to her best friend, and Elara sat up to take a sip. She blew on the hot chocolate and caught the fragrant aroma of cocoa.Elara couldn't help but smile, knowing Melody knew exactly how to calm her down. Dark chocolate was her weakness, and it was her favo
