All Chapters of Her Savage Mates: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elara I know I shouldn't be thinking about running. Not after the way Auron smiled at me this morning. But that’s the problem, isn’t it? He was getting attached. And worse, I was starting to care too much. No. I couldn’t stay here just for him. Not when I still didn’t fully understand what I was trapped in. So I had to leave, before I lost myself completely. None of this is normal. And of course, they’re obviously not normal either. But still… the way my mind and body are reacting to everything, it scares me. The extent to which I’m getting attached to them is dangerous, and I don’t want that. Because to me, everything feels like a trap, an illusion that’s pulling me in too fast. That’s why I’m planning my escape this morning, right after confirming that both Caelum and Lucien have gone out for the day. Auron is still here, but I’ll wait till he’s asleep. I’ll tuck him in, and then I’ll leave. I have to. I’ll stay with Mara for a few days. She’s the only person I can t

Elara I'm dead.That was the first thought that came to my mind when I opened my eyes. My body ached and my head pounded, for a split second, I was certain I'd crossed over to the after life.Until I realized I was wrapped in warmth. I blinked, slowly coming back to myself, and that’s when I noticed, I was in someone’s arms. Lucien.He was holding me tightly against him with my face pressed gently to his chest and his hand resting on my lower back.And the best part, he was still asleep.I stayed still, not moving because I wanted to study him. He looked peaceful. Nothing like the cold, monster I saw him as. Like this, with his face relaxed in sleep, he looked almost… human.His sharp jawline had softened slightly, his lips parted just a little. His long, dark lashes rested against his cheeks. His hair, was slightly tousled, framing his face in a way that made him look more like a fallen angel than the deadly man I knew him to be.And God, he was handsome. Devastatingly handsome.

ElaraIf someone had told me a month ago that I’d be riding in the back of a luxury car with two of the most powerful billionaires in the country, I would’ve laughed in their face, rolled my eyes, and probably walked away.But here I was. Sitting quietly between Lucien and Caelum, dressed in a professional outfit handpicked by Caelum. My fingers kept brushing against the smooth leather of the seat, and I had to keep reminding myself to breathe like a normal human.Today, I was going to their company.Yup. The human one. With boardrooms, suits and all. Imagine my surprise when I’d finally picked up my phone, and decided to do a little research. A quick search of Lucien and Caelum had left me staring at article after article, news headlines, interviews, business reviews… Their faces were plastered everywhere, looking just as intimidating in photographs as they did in person.And somehow… they were mine. The thought alone made my stomach flip.Honestly, I think I had isolated myself fro

ElaraBy the time they walked back in, I was lying dramatically on the couch, feeling overly full from all the snacks I has consumed. Caelum raised an eyebrow. “Enjoying yourself, princess?”I slowly sat up. “Oh, immensely. I’ve had a full buffet of snacks, and exactly zero job responsibilities. This is the best job ever.”Lucien chuckled as he loosened his tie, walking toward his desk. “We’re easing you in.”“Easing me into early retirement, more like.” I gave him a deadpan look.Caelum walked past me and casually tossed a chilled bottle of juice in my direction. I caught it without much grace.“You’ll need your strength,” he said, “We have somewhere to go tonight.”I raised an eyebrow. “Somewhere like… a restaurant?”Lucien, who was already behind his desk and tapping away at something on his tablet, didn’t even bother to look up. “A gala.”My mouth parted slightly. “A gala?”“And why am I just hearing about this now? You don’t just spring a gala on someone!”Caelum offered a lazy

Elara“Well, well… if it isn’t the runaway princess.”I froze.My fingers tightened around the glass i was holding. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. The voice had haunted too many years of my life. Chloe.Of course she would be here. Why didn't I think of that? She walked toward us with slow, deliberate steps, her heels clicking against the marble floor. The same fake smile I’d grown up despising stretched across her face like it had been painted on.“Oh my!” she gasped dramatically, placing a hand over her heart like she’d just discovered something shocking. “Mr. Draven, it’s such an honour to meet you.”Her tone was sweet, too sweet. I'd be a fool not to know what she was playing at.“Chloe,” I said flatly. She tilted her head, eyes glinting with amusement. “I didn't expect to see you here.”I gave her a tight-lipped smile. “That makes two of us.”I saw Caelum giving me the 'whats going on and who is she look', then I gave him the 'i'll explain later look'. “I al
