All Chapters of Father's Bestfriends: All Yours, Alpha Daddies: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Elara's POV "Stay with you?" I repeated, my voice wavering slightly.The idea was both terrifying and tempting. Being around them constantly, in their space, where I'd be surrounded by their scent and their presence was something I would very much love. Staying with Clara meant putting her in danger. Rowan had already shown up at her doorstep once, banging on the door like a lunatic. What if he came back? What if there was no security around to stop him?What if he hurt Clara because of me?The thought made my stomach churn with guilt and fear."I don't want to be a burden," I said quietly."You're not a burden," Draven said firmly. "You're our mate. Taking care of you isn't a burden. It's our responsibility. Our privilege.""it's not something that should be debated," Kael added, "Rowan won't be able to get anywhere near you without us knowing. You'll be safe."I thought about it for a moment longer, weighing my options. Staying with Clara meant constantly looking over my shoulder,

Draven's POV I didn't know what pissed me off more—the fact that people were running their mouths about our mate like that, spreading vicious lies without a shred of evidence, or the fact that Sharon had the audacity to stand in our office and say it right to our faces, as if we'd nod along and agree with her.Were there really humans this stupid? I held them in very high regard."Who gave you that information?" I asked.Sharon didn't catch the warning in my tone. She didn't notice Kael's death stare or the way my fists were clenched at my sides, knuckles white with the effort of restraining myself. She just kept talking, her voice dripping with false sympathy and barely concealed satisfaction, like she'd won the jackpot by being the one to "expose" the truth to us."Everyone knows," she said with a casual shrug. "She slept with the former boss. That's how she became your personal assistant in just one day. I mean, come on. Look at her. She doesn't have any qualifications. She does

Draven's POV"Draven," Kael warned, his voice low. "Stop talking."I couldn't.The words kept pouring out, fueled by the terror that had gripped me the moment I saw her bleeding, shaking, tears streaking down her face."You don't get it, do you?" I said, my voice rising. "We've been searching for you our entire lives. Do you know what it would do to us if we lost you now? If we'd spent all this time looking for our mate only to have her ripped away because she couldn't stay put? It gets worse after finding our queen and losing her. We'd be fucking misera—""Draven—" Kael started, but I cut him off."No," I snapped. "She needs to hear this. She needs to understand that we can't keep throwing herself into danger. She won''t be lucky every time."Elara's face crumpled, fresh tears streaming down her cheeks."It's not my fault," she said, her voice breaking. "I can't just sit here while you both risk your lives for me. This is my mess, Draven. I created it, and I should also try to fix i

Elara's POV I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out. Panic gripped me as I realized my voice was bouncing off the walls. No one would hear me. I fumbled for my phone again, my fingers shaking as I tried to dial Draven. Before I could hit call, something sharp slapped the phone out of my hand. It clattered across the floor, the flashlight spinning wildly before landing face down.I looked up, my breath catching in my throat.A masked figure stood in front of me, dressed head to toe in black. But it was the gun in their hand that made my blood run cold. I knew it was a woman due to her body shape."Don't move," the voice said, muffled through the mask.I knew that scent. And that stature? Could it be Monalisa? Why would she do this? Two people never smelled the same. Be it human or wolf."What do you want?" I asked, my voice steadier than I felt at the moment."Your money. Your jewelry. Everything you've got.""Fine," I said slowly, reaching for my clutch. "Just take it."

Elara's POV I panicked immediately, jerking my hand away from Draven's and scrambling to wipe my face. There was already a lot of drama going on at the office because of me, I didn't want to further complicate things, but I guess all that worry faded away the moment I saw who walked in. "Whew," I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought it was one of the office staffs and that was why I pulled my hands away, but it was just Kael.Kael stood in the doorway, one eyebrow raised, his blue eyes sweeping over the scene before him. His lips twitched with what looked like amusement as he took in the sight of both of us sitting on the bathroom floor."Can I join in?" he asked, his tone dry."No," I blurted out, pushing myself to my feet. "Absolutely not. Get up, Draven. We were just leaving."Draven rose slowly, brushing off his pants, completely unbothered by his brother's arrival.Kael stepped further into the restroom, his hands in his pockets. "I was worried about you," he said, his gaze lo
