Elara’s POVCassian found me that night, sitting on the roof of our house and staring at the sky.He settled in beside me. “Where is she?”“Who?” I asked.“Anika,” he said. “I cannot feel my mate.”A sigh slipped from my lips. I had been dreading this conversation since Anika went cold.“She is safe, if that is what you are asking.”“It isn’t.” Cassian looked at me, his gold eyes twinkling with something close to sadness. “Talk to me, Elara. I care for you.”He said that so easily that I wondered if he had used those lines on any other woman.“Anika needs to rest,” I said vaguely.“You exerted yourself while healing?” he asked, his words closer to a statement than a question.I stayed silent. That in itself was an answer.“Why are you helping Lillian?” Cassian asked.There was no edge to his voice, just pure curiosity.I shrugged. “Because I can.”There was really no other sensible reason I did.“I mean, to the point of harming yourself. Why are you helping her to the point of harming

Elara’s Pov“And that is my cue to leave,” Cain said.Before he left, he darted to the side and grabbed Leo. Leo protested, claiming to want to watch the drama, but Cain tossed him over his shoulder and carried him out.Kaden slapped my butt to draw my attention back to him. “How long have you hated me?”My face twisted.“Hated is a strong word,” I muttered.“So you do not hate me?”I crossed my arms, putting some distance between our bodies. His hands kneading my ass like flour was causing me not to think straight.“I do not know you enough to hate you,” I said slowly.“So without the mate bond…”“We would definitely not be a couple.”My words were firm as I was sure. I had not come to fall in love with Kaden or anything.Most of all of this was just the mate bond being the mate bond.“What if I feel differently?”My heart lurched. Dangerous question.I smiled tightly. “Well, that is up to you, isn’t it?” I said nervously. “I cannot really tell you how to feel.”Kaden tilted my chin

Elara’s POVMy neck snapped so quickly to Kaden that I heard it crack.His face was blank, like he had not just rocked my world with three words.I waited for the room to empty before I asked, “You are not punishing him?”“Do you want me to?”“No. No…that is not what I am saying.” I paused, trying to gather my thoughts. “It’s just…I know you and I know how you have ruled Caelthorn all this while. You would have ordinarily ripped out his tongue in the very least.”Kaden’s pinky twitched.“His problem is a result of my negligence. If I were more aware of what was happening in the pack, this would not have happened.”This was somewhat the same situation as the last time, with the boy who had just shifted.I caught Kaden’s gaze sneaking to my face and realization dawned on me.Was he letting him free because of me?Idiot, Anika said in my head.I lowered my face, using my hair to hide my pleased smile.“I should probably go and start reaching out to our allied packs to see if we can borro

Elara’s POVKaden stirred awake with a groan.I smiled, running my hand through his hair. “Morning,” I said.The next scene was one I would never forget in my entire life. Kaden looking up at me, his gold eyes twinkling and a blissful smile on his face.“Good morning,” he replied in his velvety voice. “How did we end up in this position?”“Someone started clawing at my bosom in the middle of the night. This was the only way I found that we could both get some sleep.”He snuggled his face deeper into my breasts. “It is really comfortable.”I glanced at the time. 8:32 am.“We really should be getting back. By now, we should have missed morning training,” I muttered.Kaden made a sound of annoyance. “Screw them. They can survive without us for a day.”I let out a dramatic gasp. “Who are you and what have you done with my Kaden?”I felt him grin again. “Your Kaden?”His head moved a little too far and caught one of my nipples between his teeth. As his tongue scraped over it, I slapped his

Elara’s POVThe anger I felt at the woman in front of me vanished.“What did you just say?”Linda turned away from me to her son. “How do you have one of them here? Do you know how dangerous they are?!”Kaden looked from his mother to me.I could swear that I saw amusement in his eyes.“You don’t know what she is?” Linda grabbed Kaden’s arms. “She has fire inside her. She can burn the pack down if she so wishes.”Kaden pried her hand off his arm. “I know what Elara is.”Linda stepped back, confusion, shock, and panic swirling in her eyes. “And you let her become your Luna?”“Actually, he marked me before he found out that I was a Moon Blessed.”Linda only seemed to notice the mark on Kaden’s neck. “She has marked you. How will you get away from her now?”“I am not getting away from her,” Kaden said firmly. “She is the Luna I have chosen as the leader of this pack…but how do you know the Moon Blessed?”“They took…” Her words trailed off, her eyes growing dark.“They took who?” I asked.
