Lahat ng Kabanata ng Father's Bestfriends: All Yours, Alpha Daddies: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Elara's POVI didn't know why I reacted that way to Draven, and it made me feel even worse about myself. He hadn't done anything wrong. He'd only been trying to be close to me, to touch me the way he had the other day when everything felt right and safe. However, the moment his body pinned me to the door, the moment his hands reached or me, all I could feel was Rowan. His weight crushing me, his hands tearing at my clothes, the sound of fabric ripping. I wish i'd fought back like that when it actually mattered. I wished I'd kicked Rowan instead, slapped him, hurt him the way he'd hurt me. But I hadn't. I couldn't do anything because I was suppressed by his stupid aura. Why wouldn't my wolf awaken fully? How long was it going to take? And now I'd taken it all out on the wrong person. Thinking about that idiot made me cringe so much. I felt my hands shaking at the thought and all I wanted to do was get out of here. Everywhere felt too suffocating now and a lot of things were going t

Elara's POV I rushed outside, my stomach plummeting to my feet when I saw Rowan struggling violently against two burly security guards, his face flushed a deep crimson with unbridled rage as he shouted my name over and over again like a man possessed. "What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice coming out with rage and shock. I just couldn't believe this. He jerked his head sharply toward me, his aqua-green eyes blazing with an intensity that bordered on madness. "I came back for you. You need to come home with me. Right now, Elara." "Are you completely insane?" I took a slow step backward, feeling my hands beginning to tremble uncontrollably at my sides despite my best efforts to appear composed. "I'm at work, Rowan. You need to leave. Immediately." "Not until you listen to me," he growled, his voice raw with desperation. He tried to lunge forward aggressively, but the security guards yanked him back with considerable force, their grips tightening on his arms.

Elara's POV The word "no" shot out of me before I could even think twice, and both of them stared at me with such identical expressions of surprise that I almost laughed despite myself. "Ashamed of us?" Kael asked, his icy blue eyes not leaving my face. There was no anger in it, just a look of wondering. "Or are you still in love with Rowan?" "No." I shook my head quickly. "It's not like that at all." "Then what is it?" Draven leaned forward, resting his chin in his palm, watching me with those grey eyes that had a way of making me feel like he could see straight through whatever I was trying to construct. "Because you pulled away the moment Kael walked into that restroom. You've been doing that. You have a problem with people seeing us together." I opened my mouth, closed it, and stared down at my hands in my lap. How do I even begin to explain this without it sounding as complicated as it actually was? "My father saw the picture," I said finally. "The one of Draven kissing me.

Elara's POV I stared at the screen for one more second before picking up."Dad.""Elara." His voice came through the way it always did when he was trying to hold his worry together and I just knew it. "Are you okay? I need to hear it from you.""I'm fine," I said. "I promise.""You don't sound fine.""I'm at Clara's. I'm sitting down. Nothing is wrong with me right now." I kept my voice steady, even as Clara perched on the arm of the couch beside me with her arms folded, watching my face like a hawk. "I'm okay, Dad."He exhaled slowly. "Why was he there, Elara? What was Rowan doing at the company making that kind of scene? I watched that video three times trying to understand what I was seeing."I rubbed the back of my neck. "He wouldn't sign the divorce papers. I moved out and he came trying to drag me back." I paused, choosing every word carefully. "He doesn't want to let go. You know how he gets.""I know exactly how he gets, and that is what worries me." His voice dropped lower.

Elara's POV The elevator doors slid open on the top floor and I stepped out ahead of him, smoothing my blouse and trying to pull my composure back together after his hands had spent the entire ride threatening to dismantle it. I could feel Kael behind me, his footsteps quite light for someone so large. I reached the office door and wrapped my fingers around the handle. His body pressed into mine from behind, and then he spun me around and had me pinned to the door before I could draw a breath. His mouth came down on mine, kissing me roughly like he's been starved. His hands slid down my sides and around to my back, pulling me flush against him, and I felt every hard line of him against my body. I pushed at his chest, but my fingers curled into the fabric of his shirt instead. He grabbed my ass and smacked it softly smack and the sound that came out of my mouth was not a protest. It was muffled against his lips and my arms went around his neck before I could stop them, my body arc
