Elara's POV

Principal Marcella appeared at the classroom door during third period and asked for me by name, and thirty pairs of eyes turned in my direction with the particular interest people reserved for someone being pulled out of class unexpectedly, the kind of attention that followed you down the hallway even after the door had closed behind you.

I gathered my things and followed her into the corridor without asking why, because her expression was not the kind that invited questions, caref

  • THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL   Chapter 72—The Understanding

    Elara's POVI was sitting at my desk during lunch with my books open in front of me, doing a very convincing impression of someone actually reading them. The classroom was mostly empty, people drifting off to the dining hall or outside to make the most of the break, and I was enjoying the rare quiet of it, the kind that didn't happen often in a building full of people, when I felt it.Warmth behind me. Then lips on the side of my neck, slow and deliberate, like there was nowhere more important to be right now.I didn't jump, which I was proud of, i also didn't immediately pull away, which I was slightly less proud of but completely unsurprised by."I miss you," Ravin said, his voice low near my ear, and I could feel him smiling against my skin which was genuinely unfair given that we were in a school and I was supposed to be reading and there were other people in this building even if they weren't in this particular room right now."You literally saw me this morning.""That was hours

  • THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL   Chapter 71—Dorm Room Laughs

    Elara's POV"Can we talk? Just for a moment."Lyris was standing directly in my path, that direct gaze of hers leaving very little room for pretending I hadn't noticed her. Which I did and clearly she noticed me too."I'm on my way to dinner," I said, keeping my voice somewhere between neutral and polite, "we can talk later.""Please." Something genuine came through in how she said it, not dramatic, just honest, the kind of please that meant exactly what it sounded like and wasn't asking for more than a moment.I was still deciding how to respond, running through the options in my head, when Freya stepped in beside me like she had been standing there the whole time waiting for exactly this moment, perfectly timed and completely unbothered about it."She'll catch you after dinner." Freya's tone was pleasant but final, the kind that didn't leave room for negotiation or follow-up questions. "We're heading down now."Lyris looked between us for a second and then nodded, stepping aside wit

  • THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL   Chapter 70—Confessions

    Elara's POVFreya came back to the dorm with a different energy about her.I noticed it the moment she walked through the door, that particular glow that had nothing to do with the time of day or how much sleep she had gotten, that specific kind of quiet happiness that settled on a person after something significant had happened and they hadn't fully processed it yet. She looked lighter somehow, like something she had been carrying had been set down somewhere and she hadn't picked it back up yet. Even the way she moved into the room was different, slower, more settled in herself, like she was still somewhere in her head replaying whatever had just happened and didn't mind being there.She dropped her bag on the floor, sat down on her bed, looked at me directly, and said it plainly."I just had sex with Rory."I smiled.Freya looked at my smile. Then she looked at it more carefully, studying it the way she studied things when she was trying to work something out, reading it for what i

  • THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL   Chapter 69—Office Secret

    Freya's POV Rory met me outside the classroom with that easy calm he always had and said he had somewhere specific in mind, and I followed him without asking too many questions because that was the kind of trust that had built up between us without either of us deciding it should. We moved through the school corridors together and I noticed people noticing us, that particular awareness of being seen with someone that I had stopped being self-conscious about.When he stopped in front of Mr. Logan's office and produced a key I looked at him."Why are we in a teacher's office?"He unlocked the door and pushed it open, glancing back at me with that look he had, the one that was slightly amused and completely unbothered."It's not school hours and Mr. Logan isn't here, he keeps a spare set of keys with me because I'm a house captain, for situations where the sports equipment needs accessing or the facilities need to be opened up, he trusts me with it."I looked at the open door and then

  • THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL   Chapter 68—Middle man

    Elara's POVLyris was talking to Leo.I noticed it on the walk to school, catching a glimpse of the two of them ahead of us near the entrance, Leo doing that thing he did where he leaned slightly forward when something interested him, Lyris talking with that easy confidence she carried everywhere she went like it was just part of how she was built. They looked like they had been talking for a while, comfortable, not the stilted conversation of two people who had just met but something already moving past that stage, already finding a rhythm."What do you think that's about?" Freya said, following my gaze."No idea," I said, which was true, and also the thing I told myself every time I noticed Lyris in a situation I didn't fully understand, which was becoming a regular habit at this point."She works fast," Freya said, more observation than judgment."Leo makes it easy," Nyx said simply, and we kept walking toward the entrance without making a thing of it.Classes moved the way they m

  • THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL   Chapter 67—Filthy Reassurance

    Elara's POVI saw Lyris coming before she saw me.It was during break, the corridors busy enough that you could reasonably disappear into the crowd if you wanted to, moving with the flow of people until you ended up somewhere else entirely. I had every intention of doing exactly that until she looked up and our eyes met and I knew she was going to say something because that was just the kind of person she was, easy and open and impossible to avoid.She smiled, that open smile she had that everyone seemed to find so disarming, the one that had half the school already treating her like she had always been there, and she opened her mouth.I looked away and kept walking.I felt it the moment I passed her, that awareness of having been deliberately cold to someone who had done nothing worse than exist in proximity to my boyfriend, and I knew it was rude, I knew she had noticed because I had seen the slight shift in her expression before I looked away, and I kept walking anyway because the

    Elara's POVThe lunch hall was loud the way it always was on Fridays. I was staring at my food and not eating it when Professor Aldric walked to the front and clapped twice.The noise dropped."The annual forest camping trip begins today. Buses leave at four. Attendance is mandatory."The hall erup

    Elara's POV I was watching the third match of the day when Kael found me in the bleachers, he was still in his House Ravencroft uniform, looking like he had just come from competing in one of the earlier events. He sat down next to me without asking, which was typical Kael behavior — confident, li
