ELARAAfter he was done tending to my injuries, he put the bottle down and slowly placed my foot back on the bed. Instantly, I moved back, putting some distance between us.By now, I was just glad that my heart had not jumped out of my mouth at his shenanigans.“ Feeling better? ” He asked, putting the cap back on the bottle.I nodded, my gaze fixed on my lap as I refused to focus on his face when I looked like a ripe tomato.“ Good. ” Alpha Alaric hummed and went to take a seat on the wingchair again.I released a breath I had been holding since he came so near, and sat up straight. Thank Goddess!“ Now, it’s about time you answer some real questions, Princess. ” He added in a lazy tone.My breath hitched in my throat once more. I placed a hand on my chest and glanced his way, only to find him intensely staring at me.“ First of all, what’s your name? ” His head tilted, his brows lifting under his messy hair.My jaw almost hung low as I stared at his face, feeling completely dumbfoun

ELARA“ I am SUPPOSED to be loyal to him. ” I chuckled awkwardly, and my eyes glanced all around, trying to come up with something. “ but I am not? ”“ Why is that? ” He licked his lips and hid the smirk that was widening.“ It’s because…uhm… ” I trailed off and sighed. “ he overworks me! ”Alpha Alaric blinked, and his brows lifted. “ overworks you? ”“ Yes! ” I nodded quickly. “ he overworks me. He takes money from other people and brings them to me so I can cure them, too. He does this almost every day. Curing the Pack members is already a lot of work, but he lines up people, and I have to keep working and working and working. I get sick and tired. In the end…he doesn’t even… ”“ Doesn’t even what? ” He frowned.“ Doesn’t even pay me either, you know. Because he is my Alpha, he just gives me shelter and food, and some clothes. Nothing else. ” I sighed, my shoulders dropping as I twisted the lie, making it more and more believable. “ I have been working under these conditions for to

ELARAStars exploded behind my eyes. His lips were warm against mine and so sinfully soft—softer than I imagined when I was looking at him earlier. My breath whooshed out of my lungs as a strong current shot through my body. I stumbled back, completely taken aback but he circled his arm around my waist and pulled me back in. I fell on my heels, my lips lowering to his chin. My heart trembled inside my chest as my eyes flew open and landed on his Adams apple. He swallowed, making it bob. “ What was this?” He breathed, his free hand landing on my chin to crane my neck back, forcing me to look into his deep eyes. His gaze darkened. He leaned in, his nose brushing mine as he exhaled another warm breath against my still tingling lips. “ Do you like me or something?” He tilted his head, a smirk spreading across his deliciously warm lips. My heart missed a sudden beat. I shook my head, denying his claim but then something clicked in my head. Once, the Beta’s daughter Levadia s

ELARA“ That’s enough! ” Alpha Alaric snapped when Beta Kael threw the bowl on the floor.His voice was quiet, but the room seemed to grow smaller the moment those three words left his mouth.Beta Kael stiffened instantly. The easy frustration on his face vanished, replaced by rigid discipline.“ Alpha... ” He whispered.“ I said… ” Alpha Alaric slowly turned his head towards him. “ That’s enough. You keep disrespecting the woman I have brought under my roof. ”Suddenly, the room filled with his Alpha aura. The air around me became unbearably heavy. My breath hitched in my throat.An invisible pressure settled over my shoulders, forcing every muscle in my body to tense. I instinctively stumbled back, and my heart began pounding against my ribs.So…This was his Alpha aura. It was dark and powerful. No wonder he had managed to keep Lucien at bay for so long.Even though the tone was not directed at me, my knees still weakened beneath me.Beta Kael, who was on the receiving end, just lo
