《Claiming The Alpha》全部章節：第 141 章 - 第 150 章

Elara’s POVThe forest path leading up to Fiona’s old house had been covered with concrete, flowers transplanted on either side.My feet dragged as I walked. I let Anika take over my body so she forced my body forward.Fiona’s house had also been renovated. It looked good as new.Vaguely, I remembered signing the approval for them to begin construction. My reason at the time was that an Alpha—not my brother, an Alpha—deserved a proper burial ground.The urns were inside the building itself. In the master bedroom.Strange place to put them but Leo had vehemently insisted on that location.“Hi,” I whispered from the doorway after Anika returned control to my body.I winced when my voice seemed to echo in the room. Stepping closer, I knelt slowly in front of the two urns.They sat on a table at the foot of the bed.My eyes watered as I reached for the picture that lay against the bedframe behind the urns. Ronan and a woman I had never seen were at some kind of party and were hugging each

Elara’s POVI sat on the toilet, practicing the three words to say them back.I love you.Why did they make my tongue feel like it was on fire?“I…love…”“Elara?” Kaden said and swung open the door. I jumped, toppling off the toilet seat.He crossed to my side in an instant and caught me before I fell. “Are you alright?”“No!” I said and slapped his arm. “When did you get here?!”“A few minutes ago. You were taking far too long in the bathroom so I came to check.” He leaned closer, his eyes sparkling with affection and mischief. “What’s going on?”Damn it. He had heard me, hadn’t he?I crossed my arms over my chest, putting distance between our bodies. “Nothing. I was just lost in thought.”I might have lost all dignity in front of him but I would deny this to the very end.His arms pulled me closer to himself before he started peppering sweet kisses along my collarbone. “I could hear you muttering through the door.”Stupid mate bond making my knees weak.“It’s none of your business,

Elara’s POVEven with an injured leg dragging behind him, Silver still found a way to smile.“Donna!” he exclaimed, trying to run to hug her.Along the way, he tripped, fell on his face and then, continued running. Donna’s face was a mixture of alarmed and concerned as he pulled her into a hug.“What the hell?” she mouthed to me.Silver leaned back, a wide grin on his face. “I’m your uncle Silver.”“I dont’ have an uncle Silver,” she said slowly.Water swirled around his body, coming to float above their heads. Donna’s eyes narrowed sharply. “Uncle from his side,” she said curtly.A dramatic frown slipped onto his face. “You’re mad. I’m sorry that I have not come to visit all this while. I have been looking for you all.”Donna pointed to herself. “I’m twenty-six. He left when I was fourteen. You…I have not seen you my entire life.”“Benjamin is an idiot. He did not tell me that he had a family.”“He is your brother!”“Estranged,” Silver corrected. “And he is old enough to be my dad. I

Elara's POVI slapped Kaden's wandering hands from my body.“Don't you dare touch me,” I snapped and then winced when pain shot up my back again.Goddess. What had I been thinking, letting Kaden into my ass?“Do you want me to kiss it better?” he teased.My face fell. “That isn't a joke.”His eyes widened. “Sorry…does it hurt that much?”As we were speaking, my body was doing what it did best: repairing itself.I slapped his chest. “Go make yourself useful. Make me a sandwich or something.”Kaden kissed my forehead before leaving the room. When the soreness faded, I let out a relieved sigh, trying to get out of bed.“No. No,” Kaden said, entering the room while balancing a tray precariously on his palm.On it was a very modest breakfast: cereal, a sandwich, some quickly made eggs but breakfast nonetheless.“Breakfast in bed?” I said, sitting up.He grinned. “It's the least you deserve.” His lips pressed to the side of my forehead.As I ate my breakfast, Kaden ran a bath. I had just sw

Elara’s POVKaden and I were sent a sanction before daybreak the next morning.It was needless to say that the council was not very happy with the stunt Kaden pulled during the ceremony.We were barely done reading their very long, angry letter when one of the patrol guards knocked on the door with another. “This is from Councilman Donatello’s wife.”Kaden’s eyes narrowed sharply at the small wrapped box. “Are you sure that I should not kill him?”I took it from the guard. “Donatello might be a creep. His wife? Not so much.”If anything, she was one of the sweetest women I had ever had the honour of meeting. Too bad she was sold by her father to be a wife to that pervert.When the door shut, I set the box on the table and started to slowly unwrap it. The wrapping was barely out when a medallion fell from inside.I lifted the chain, studying the engraving on the body. Fire.“Is there a note?” Kaden asked as he took it from me.I searched the rest of the box. “Nothing…there is something
