THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 78—A Genuine Circle
Elara's POVI heard the laughter before I saw them.Coming down the corridor the next morning, still carrying the warmth of the previous night somewhere beneath everything else, I turned the corner and found Freya, Nyx, and Leo clustered around one of the benches near the common room entrance.Lyris was with them, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and that easy expression she wore, saying something that was making Freya grip Leo's arm to keep from falling over.I slowed down without meaning to, watching for a second before any of them noticed me."She told him she was visiting her aunt," Lyris was saying, and there was a particular precision in how she delivered it, the timing of someone who knew exactly where the funny part was. "The aunt lives in the science block apparently."Freya made a sound that was barely a word."The science block," Leo repeated. "She told a boy in arts that she was visiting an aunt who lives in the science block of a school.""And he believed he

Elara's POV "We're not going straight to the pack," Ravin said, as we moved away from the school grounds into the open stretch of Velthorn beyond the trees.I looked at him. "Where are we going?""Everywhere else first." He glanced at me sideways with that look he had, the one that was just short of a smile. "You've seen the pack. Tonight I want to show you Velthorn."That was not something I had been expecting, and the surprise of it must have shown because he actually smiled this time, unhurried and easy.We walked into the heart of Velthorn the way you walked into a place you weren't in a rush to leave, taking streets I hadn't been down before, passing lit windows and the sound of music drifting from somewhere further along. Ravin knew the city the way people knew things they had spent years living inside of, pointing things out without making it a tour, just moving through it like it belonged to him and letting me walk beside him while he did. There was something easy about bei
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 76—Out in Velthorn
Elara's POVRavin found me after evening prep, appearing beside me in the corridor the way he always did, like he simply decided to be wherever I was and the logistics of getting there were beneath consideration."Get ready tomorrow evening." He fell into step beside me. "We're going out."I looked at him sideways. "Out where?""My pack." He said it the way he said most things, like it was already decided and the conversation was just a formality. "I want you to see where I come from. Spend some proper time together outside of school walls, somewhere that isn't a corridor or the back of a classroom."Something warm moved through me at that, the idea of being somewhere that was his, seeing a part of him that existed beyond Draven and corridors and stolen moments in quiet corners of the school, something that was just his, that had nothing to do with the cover story or the false name or any of it."Okay," I said."Just okay?""I'm very excited. I'm containing it because we are in a pub
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 75—The Selected
Elara's POVThe summons came during second period, a folded note delivered by one of the admin assistants with Miss Marcella's seal on it, and the entire class watched me pick it up with the kind of attention that made me want to slide under my desk.I excused myself and walked to the principal's office trying to think of what I had done wrong, which was a longer list than I was comfortable with, and by the time I sat down across from Miss Marcella I had already talked myself into at least three different scenarios, none of them good.She folded her hands on the desk and looked at me with that particular calm she always had, the kind that made you feel like you were the only person she had time for right now."I have some news for you, Elara, and I think you're going to find it welcome."That was not how conversations started when someone was in trouble. I let my shoulders drop slightly."Every year this school selects a small number of students for what we call the Exchange Visit," s
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 74—The Apology
Elara's POVI found Ravin after class and pulled him aside before he could disappear anywhere, steering him into a quieter corner of the corridor where nobody was going to walk into the middle of what I had to say. He followed without asking questions, which told me he already had some idea of what was coming."You could have just told me," I said, keeping my voice low but making sure he understood I was not calm about this. "About the bloodline. About why you and Lyris were so comfortable with each other. If you had just said something from the beginning I would have had zero reason to be upset about any of it."Ravin looked at me with that steady expression he had, the one that never gave too much away, that particular patience he got when he was listening properly and had decided not to interrupt until I was done."I didn't think it was necessary," he said."You didn't think it was necessary," I repeated. "Ravin, I spent days watching the two of you smiling at each other in class
THE MATE THE ROGUE ALPHA WAS MEANT TO KILL Chapter 73—Shifting Dynamics
Lyris POV "I know part of the reason you've been giving me a hard time lately is because of Ravin."I said it directly, watching her face as it landed. Not accusatory, not confrontational, just honest. She deserved that much and I wasn't going to waste her time or mine by tiptoeing around the obvious.She didn't deny it. Something shifted behind her eyes but she stayed quiet, which told me she was listening properly, taking it in rather than preparing a defence."I'm not going to tell you you're wrong for feeling that way," I continued, keeping my voice even. "But I want you to understand why Ravin and I got close, because you deserve the actual reason and not whatever you've been sitting with in your head."She was watching me carefully now, that particular stillness she got when something mattered enough to actually pay attention to, when she had decided to hear something out rather than dismiss it. I could see her holding herself still, making space for what was coming."We share

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
