ELARAShe dangled the rope inside. For a long moment, I only stared at the rope hanging in front of me. I wondered what reason this girl might have to help me by going against her own Alpha, but I couldn’t come up with anything.In the end, an absurd thought crossed my mind. “ You are not testing me on your Alpha’s orders, are you? ”“ Why would I do that? ” Her smile fell, and she rolled her eyes. “ I am helping you because I want you to leave the Pack. I don’t like the attention Alaric is giving you. It’s that simple, girl. Just get out and get lost. ”I blinked, surprise crossing my features. Then, it all made sense. An Alpha of a Pack always had his fan following, and these crazy fans could do anything to get rid of every woman around their so-called idol.I grabbed the rope with both hands and started climbing, ignoring the way my raw palms screamed against the rough fibers. Every pull sent a sharp ache tearing through my shoulders, and my ankle throbbed each time I braced it aga

ELARAI thrashed with everything I had, my nails clawing at the arm wrapped around my waist, but it was like trying to pry apart solid marble. My scream came out as nothing more than a muffled whimper beneath the cold hand clamped over my mouth.“ Shh..." the voice whispered beside my ear, almost amused. “ You will wake up the entire forest. ”His breath was freezing against my skin. Every place he touched felt numb, as though the warmth was being stolen straight from my body.I jerked my head back without thinking.A sharp crack echoed through the trees as the back of my skull smashed into his nose.The vampire hissed, and his grip loosened for a moment. That moment was all I needed to twist violently and drop my weight before hitting his ribs with my elbow.He grunted in surprise as I freed myself from his grip and ran to the right. I had to get back to Alpha Alaric’s territory if I wanted to survive.They wouldn’t dare cross the line.Behind me, laughter drifted through the darknes

ALARIC“ She is not in the well, Alpha! ” Lina’s voice shook as she stood in my study doorway. “ I checked everywhere, Alpha. Her scent just...stops near the flower field. ”The pen in my hand snapped in half. I was on my feet before I even registered standing, and my chair slammed into the wall behind me.“ What the fuck do you mean? ” My voice came out low and dangerous.She stumbled back a step. “ I don't know, Alpha! I looked everywhere. But she is nowhere to be found. ”I was out the door before she could finish, my wolf clawing at the surface, desperate to break loose and find her by scent alone.I passed the training ground and saw Kael sparring with a warrior. Instantly, I approached him. The warriors dispersed, leaving him alone.“ Where is she? ” My jaw gritted as I glared at him.“ Alpha… ” He blinked before a frown settled between his brows. “ I threw her in the well, like you already know and— ”“ She is not in the well, you fucking idiot! ” I roared.Kael's frown deepen

ELARAThey left me in a room with no windows and no fresh air. I found it hard to breathe with every passing moment.After hours of being inside, the door was finally pushed open. I looked up from my place on the floor and found the same leader walking inside.Now, I had a full view of him. He was tall, only slightly shorter than Alpha Alaric. But unlike the broad, imposing build of a werewolf Alpha, this man's body was lean and perfectly sculpted.He didn't look like someone who relied on brute force. He looked like someone who had never needed to.His jet-black hair was pushed back neatly, exposing a sharp forehead and a face that almost looked carved from marble. Every feature was unnaturally perfect. His jaw was clean and angular, his straight nose sat proudly between high cheekbones, and his pale skin was so flawless it almost seemed unreal.His eyes were the most unsettling part. They were a deep shade of crimson, dark enough to resemble fresh blood trapped beneath glass. They d

ALARIC“ Davon? ” I scoffed just as I glanced towards the vampire. “ What the fuck? ”He straightened his collar like I had not just been trying to rip his throat out a second ago, and had the audacity to smile at me.“ Alaric. ” He said my name slowly. “ It has been what, a decade? Last I saw you, you were still getting your ass handed to you in combat trials. And here you are now, breaking down my door like some rabid animal. ”Supernatural Academy. I had not thought about that place in years, and I did not have the patience to start now.“ You have my woman locked in your fucking basement, Davon. ” I growled, stepping in front of Elara without thinking twice about it.“ Your woman? ” His brow lifted, amusement flickering behind those crimson eyes. “ Last I checked, you did not have a mate. Unless the rumors about North Shield finally finding its Luna are true after all. ”I didn't answer him. The rumored Luna he was talking about was Stephanie, not Elara. My jaw tightened at the th

ELARAAlpha Alaric carried me back to his room and dumped me on the bed roughly. I gasped, bouncing over the mattress twice before finally settling.He didn’t stop to even glance at my face. Instead, he marched towards the bathroom and disappeared inside.My heart began pounding in my chest as I stared at the closed door. The sound of water running started right away, and I just stayed there, listening to it.The first thing he was going to ask me would be about who helped me run?Then, the next question would be about how I knew the name Esme?I was not going to answer him on either account, so that only meant he was going to punish me the moment he returned. When that thought hit my mind, I ran to the door and tried to pull it open.“ It’s locked. Just rest your fucking ass on the bed until I return, Elara! ” He shouted from inside the bathroom, sending a wave of cold down my spine.I left the doorknob as if it burned my hand and walked back to the bed obediently. There was nothing

ELARA“ What—What are you trying to do, Alpha? ”He sighed. “ You stink. ”“ Huh? ” My mind went blank.“ You stink, Princess. Go take a bath. ” Alpha Alaric chuckled before stepping away.My cheeks burned with embarrassment. I turned around and glanced his way, only to find him fully clothed now and smirking.“ Did you have to step this close to me to say that? ” My heartbeat slowed down.Whatever heat was pooling in my stomach just dissipated. He was only sniffing me out because I was stinking.“ What did you think I was going to do? ” He chuckled, the sound resonating deep in his throat.I huffed, rushing past him to get to the bathroom before he killed me with this humiliation.What did he expect after keeping me in a well for a whole day? Of course, I was going to stink like a corpse.His laughter chased me until I closed the door to the bathroom and rested my back against it. When my eyes landed on the mirror in front of me, the color just drained from my face.To say that I look

ELARAThe kiss stole every rational thought right out of my head. I had kissed him before under circumstances that made no sense to me anymore, but this felt different.His mouth moved against mine with a hunger that should have terrified me, but instead, it made heat curl low in my stomach.I didn’t know when the shirt slipped completely from my fingers and fell to the closet floor. I didn’t know when my free hand found its way to the front of his shirt, fisting the fabric there like it was the only thing anchoring me to the ground.But I knew the moment my heart missed a beat when he groaned low against my mouth. The sound of it did something dangerous to me.His hand slid from my chin down the length of my throat, and he squeezed it lightly, making me shudder against him.Every place his fingers brushed felt like it had been struck by lightning. A strange electric current seemed to hit my body when his touch became too personal.“ Alpha Alaric… ” I gasped his name against his lips

ELARAHe froze instantly, every muscle in his body going rigid above me. Slowly, he pulled back just enough to meet my eyes. His eyes were filled with something between confusion and restrained hunger.“ Did I hurt you? ” His voice came out hoarse, genuine concern overcoming the desire clouding his expression.“ No. ” I shook my head, my chest heaving heavily. “ No, it’s not that. I just… ”I trailed off, unable to find the right words for the storm suddenly raging inside me.“ What are you doing? ” I finally asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Alaric blinked, clearly not expecting the question. “ What does it look like I am doing, Elara? ”“ That's not what I mean. ” I pushed myself up slightly onto my elbows, putting a fraction more distance between us even though every part of me wanted to close it again. “ Why now? Why me? After everything you have done, after locking me up, after nearly draining me dry on that couch, after leaving me in that well…what are you doing, Alaric? ”

ALARICI did not want to pull away from her.Every instinct in my body screamed against it. Even my wolf was snarling at the sheer stupidity of stopping now, of putting even an inch of space between us when she was lying beneath me like this, flushed and trembling and finally, finally not fighting me.My gaze dropped over her one last time. I looked at her kiss-swollen lips, the wild mess of her hair spread across my pillow, the rapid rise and fall of her chest.My cock throbbed hard enough that it physically hurt. I felt a low, aching pressure I had not felt this violently in years.I leaned down instead of giving in to what my body wanted, and pressed my lips to the curve just above her left breast, breathing her in one last time.She smelled like Jasmine, and something underneath that I still could not name, something that had haunted the back of my throat since the night she saved my life in that forest.Then I forced myself to sit up.I swung my legs off the bed and turned toward
