~51~ SABOTAGE

~Chapter Fifty One~~Elara’s POV~ Only three words were written on it. “DIE.” This was obvious. Someone was sabotaging me. I forced myself to inhale slowly and exhale. This wasn’t funny. Not after the effort I took to get half done. I didn’t know where to start. I found a bigger envelope and carefully picked up the torn pieces of the guest list I’d written, placing them inside one after another. Maybe I could tape them back together somehow. My hands trembled, anger boiling inside me at whoever had done this. At this point, Elizabeth was the only person who came to mind but I was only thinking of her because of what had happened in the cellar? The way she’d pretended she had nothing to do with locking me in there was enough to make her a suspect. But If it wasn’t her, could it be the enemy Lucian had warned me about? Whoever did this must have known I wouldn’t be here. Maybe they had been searching for something inside these files. When they couldn’t find it, they made

~52~ RECKON

~Chapter Fifty Two~~Kai’s POV~ I shook my head, trying to clear the thought of how it felt when Elara held onto me, asking for my warmth. “I need your warmth.” Those four words lingered in my mind long after she’d fallen asleep in my arms. It was obvious she only needed warmth, nothing more. The way she’d reached for me without hesitation, as though I was the safest place she could be. Yet my thoughts kept drifting to something entirely different. There was a very good chance I would’ve done something I’d regret if I hadn’t stopped myself. Now, too many problems were waiting for me outside my chambers to spend the rest of the night lying beside her. So I quietly slipped out and headed to meet Lucian. The guards had already told me where to find him. The pack bar. As expected, the place was lively, filled with loud laughter, music, and the strong smell of alcohol. Lucian sat comfortably in a corner with a half-empty bottle in one hand while a half-dressed she-wolf swayed

~53~ HEALING LOUNGE~

~ Chapter Fifty Three~~Elara’s POV~ I returned to the office, still pissed about everything. Who would have done this if not Zara or Aunt Elizabeth? After making my inquiries, I realized Aunt Elizabeth hadn’t even been around since early that morning, so there was no way she could’ve done it. I didn’t know her to be such a petty person. It took me a few hours, but I managed to piece the torn papers together well enough that I could make out most of the missing parts. When I was done, it looked like a child’s collage, pieces of paper glued onto a larger sheet to hold them in place. But it worked anyway. I quickly made two extra copies and hid one inside the desk drawer. Puzzled over how I was going to arrange all the files again, figure out which names I’d missed, and everything else I needed to take note of, I frowned. It was going to be a lot of work. I couldn’t bear to start all over again today. Maybe Kai would understand if I told him someone had sabotaged my work.

~54~ MASSAGE

~Chapter Fifty Four~~Elara’s POV~ “You’ve been too busy. You barely have time for yourself.” I paused. “Because of that… I booked a spa for the two of us. What do you say?” He chuckled softly as he stepped closer. “Are you serious, Elara?” Telling him to take off his shirt earlier had been a terrible idea.I couldn’t stop staring. Every time I looked at him, the glowing mark on his chest caught my attention. It was almost tempting to touch. “Yes, I am.” I nodded with a wide smile. “You need to cool off a bit.” I couldn’t tell if I was blushing, but I definitely couldn’t control it. He studied my face silently for a moment.“I don’t know who told you but I hardly have time for spas and scented baths.” He let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head. My smile slowly faded. “I just thought you could relax a bit. So what do you say?” I asked, avoiding his gaze. “Well” He shrugged. “I have a lot to do tonight.” My stomach sank. He was going to reject my request and I wouldn’t eve

~55~ THIRTY MINUTES

~Chapter Fifty Five~~Elara’s POV~ He reached for the knot of my robe. “You planned all this. I’m not letting it go to waste.” “Kai…” I shut my eyes briefly. “Alright. I’ll join you.” He looked ready to untie my robe himself, and the thought alone made my stomach tighten. Slowly, I slipped the robe off before glancing at him. “Don’t stare.” “Okay.” He shrugged, turning his head away. The moment the robe left my body, I folded my arms across my chest and hurried into the pool. The water became my cover. He slid back into the pool with a small smile. “So… you’re shy, huh?” “Nope,” I replied with a grin. The water was comfortably warm. Every now and then, I felt Kai’s foot brush against mine beneath the water, making me instinctively pull away. His glances weren’t helping either. “Have you ever been here?” I asked, breaking the silence. He nodded. “Yes.” This was inside the pack town there was no way he wouldn’t. I lifted my brow. “When?” He stayed quiet for a moment befo

~56~ MYTH

~Chapter Fifty Six~ ~Kia’s POV~ One of my guards informed me during my conversation with Elara that Elder Chris had arrived as planned. He had come under the cover of night to avoid raising suspicion among the other elders. Whatever this meeting was about, it had to remain between us. I led Elara out of the healing lodge and settled her in our room. I told her I had some personal business to attend to before heading straight to my office to meet him. “Elder Chris.” I greeted him with a handshake. “I’m glad you came.” He leaned forward in his chair. “Kai, the pressure among the council elders is getting worse. They’re already discussing taking further action since you refused to reject your human mate.” “So what are you doing about it, Elder Chris?” I asked, folding my hands together. “I’m doing my best to delay them.” He sighed. “I remind them of your father’s years of service and everything your family has done for this pack.” “That’s good. Your efforts aren’t goin

~57~ STIPULATED TIME

~Chapter Fifty Seven~ Elara’s POV Three days of working on the invitation list, I couldn’t even say I was halfway done. If I hadn’t been sabotaged, I should’ve been summarizing everything by now. Aunt Elizabeth had given me forty-eight hours to finish it. I had failed woefully to meet that deadline. Maybe I should’ve used the time I spent with Kai to work through the night, but I’d obviously choose the lodge experience over again. It was as relaxing as I thought it would be, and it was worth it because Kai had asked me the one question I’d always been afraid to answer, because no one here had ever believed me. But I guess he did for the first time, and satisfaction was the least of what I was feeling right now. I almost felt like I belonged a little now but only around Kai. Maybe we could have more moments like that during his free time, if he ever had any, without being distracted by emergency problems in the middle of the night like what happened. He looked ser

~58~ WOLF-LESS

~Chapter Fifty Seven~ Elara’s POV Thank you, Lucian.” I called just as he reached the door. “Wait. Did you hang the two men?” He stopped and looked back as a light laugh escaped him. “Trust me, I would’ve loved to.” He folded his arms. “But as much as I need to, they’re still useful. They’re spilling some very dirty secrets.” “Both of them?” I asked curiously. “No, one of them.” He tilted his head. “Why are you suddenly so concerned about them?” “I…” I stuttered. “Nothing. I just don’t like death and all that stuff, you know?” That was part of the reason but far from the real one. He smirked. “Death is necessary sometimes, Elara. It’s one way to eliminate injustice, isn’t it?” “Yeah…” I nodded slowly. “Any leads from the confession yet? Is Ironstone still involved? And those people you warned me about… do you think they’re among them, or are they still out there?” “Hm.” He walked a little closer, studying me. “I see why you’re concerned now. You’re afraid your

~59~ THE MAN IN MY BED

~Chapter Fifty Nine~Elara’s POV “I don’t fully understand what having a wolfless child could cost you,” I admitted, looking from one to the other. “But I do understand one thing. You’ve spent years building this marriage. Don’t let shame or what people say destroy you.” The man’s jaw tightened. “Luna, you don’t understand.” I was speechless at that point. How was I supposed to mend a broken marriage among werewolves over a child? Taking a deep breath, I nodded. “Perhaps. Which is why I won’t come to a conclusion based on a single conversation with you today.” “But, Luna, our bond can’t last past today. She needs to leave with her wolfless daughter,” he spat. She sobbed, covering her face. “Where would I go?” This felt like betrayal, and I wasn’t going to sit back and watch another woman cry because of his selfish decision. “You’re ready to lose the two most precious people in your life because your daughter is wolfless?” I snapped. “The shame is too much,” the man replied.

~60~ DRIVE ME INSANE

~Chapter Sixty~Elara’s POV What the hell? Why was he staring at me like that? This was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life. Heat rushed to my face as I realized I was soaked between my thighs, my cheeks blushing bright red. I wished I was alone and not with the same man I’d seen in my dream, having the best night of my life I’d hoped to experience since I turned eighteen. Now I couldn’t even bring myself to say a single word. I hurried into the bathroom, shut the door behind me, and leaned against the wall, burying my face against the cold wall. An unsatisfied groan escaped my lips. Why would I even dream of him like that? And why was he just sitting there looking at me? The dream had felt so real. I could still remember the way his fingers had trailed across my skin, the way he’d filled me in with his length. Or did we really do it? No. It was just a dream, I assured myself. The last time I’d dreamed this vividly was about the men in the forest, and par
