LOGINElara looked at Kael for a long time as their eyes locked onto each other."What did they say?" Elara asked, her voice barely holding together. "What is happening to Jasmine?!"Kael rubbed the back of his head slowly, then looked at her with an expression that was carefully controlled. "Elara, I need you to stay calm right now.""No," Elara said, stepping closer, her voice rising before she could stop it. "I need to know right now. What did you do to Jasmine?!"He glanced around quickly, checking whether anyone nearby was paying attention.Then, he walked close to her and pointed his finger directly at her face. "For the last time," Kael said quietly, "keep your voice down!"Elara reached up and pushed his finger away from her face without flinching. "And what exactly are you going to do if I don't?" she said. "Kill me the way you killed Jasmine?!!"Kael looked at her for a long moment, and then he smiled slow and unbothered. "Fine, since the curious cat needs an answer...yes. Jasmine
Elara walked away from Orella with her chin high and her shoulders back.She had learned a long time ago that the only way to let a power move behind you is to leave it completely.No looking back.No second-guessing.No softening of what you just said.She had told her exactly what she needed to hear, and now the ball was sitting entirely in Orella's court.Orella called her name before she had taken four steps. "Elara."Elara stopped walking and smiled...not at her, just to herself, just for that one private second of quiet satisfaction, because of course she called her back.Nobody walks away from a good offer twice, and Orella, for all her sharp edges and polished pride, was still a businesswoman at her core.Elara smoothed her expression into something gracious and turned around slowly, walking back toward her with the kind of ease that belongs to someone who knows they currently hold something another person wants."Seems someone changed their mind so quickly," Elara said pleasa
"Good day, ma'am. Would you love tea or coffee?"The voice slipped into Elara's sleep.She opened her eyes slowly, blinking against a light so bright and so wide that for a moment she thought she was still dreaming.The curtains were drawn fully open, sunlight pouring across a room that was nothing like anything she had ever woken up in.Then it hit her, slow and heavy that she was in Kael's apartment.Her eyes shot fully open, sleep gone in an instant, and that's when she saw the young woman standing close to the bed, watching with a patient little smile.Elara sat up fast, pulling the sheet with her like a shield. "Who are you?""I am your new maid," the woman said, her smile widening, "appointed by Mr. Kael and I'll be taking care of everything for you, ma'am, you can count on me."Elara studied her for a long moment.The girl's hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail, her skin was deep and warm brown that looked almost polished in the morning light.Elara shook her head and push
Kael turned toward her slowly, and a smile spread across his face, easy and unbothered."Hello," he said. "Why do you look so surprised? Last I remember, you were calling my name and enjoying every bit of my touch. So why does this shock you now?"Elara grabbed the sheet and pulled it around her body, scrambling back until her shoulders hit the wall."I don't understand any of this," she said, her voice shaking. "I was with Lucas. How did you get in here? What is happening right now?"Kael laughed softly. "You should already know that coming to Lucas means coming to me. The two of us have never truly been separated."Immediately, the door opened.Lucas stepped inside, and Elara's expression shifted the moment she saw him, disappointment and fury rising together."I trusted you, Lucas," Elara said, her voice cracking.Lucas looked at her for a long moment before looking away. "Elara, I told you Kael is not someone you joke with. You walked into this yourself and I'm sorry but now you h
Elara stood frozen on the dimly lit street, her heart hammering wildly against her ribcage.The black sedan glided to a stop right in front of her, its headlights slicing through the darkness.She held her breath as the driver's door opened.Lucas stepped out, his expression tense and shadowed under the street lamp.Elara's body stiffened with a mix of fear and relief, she scanned the surroundings quickly before hurrying to the car.Her pulse thundered as she slipped into the passenger seat and pulled the door shut with a decisive thud.For a long moment she stared at him, studying the man who had appeared when she needed him most.Relief flooded through her. "Oh, thank heavens," she whispered.Lucas sighed heavily, his eyes fixed ahead.Without glancing at her, he started the engine and pulled away sharply.Elara watched him closely. "How did you know I was here alone?"He stayed silent, his knuckles tight on the wheel. After a pause he glanced at her. "Tighten your seat belt."She c
Kael pushed open the bedroom door and gently dropped her onto the large, soft bed, his eyes never leaving hers as he stayed close.He began kissing every inch of her body slowly and deliberately, his lips trailing fire across her skin from her neck down to her shoulders and lower, making her arch beneath him.Elara laughed softly, a light breathless sound that filled the room as she ran her fingers through his hair. “I know we are supposed to be enemies, but I would not lie to you, Kael. You are so good at making a girl fall for you so easily.”He paused, lifting his head to look at her with a raised eyebrow and a playful smirk. “Is that a compliment or what?”“Well, being a flirt can be a compliment when you've got the money to sponsor it." she replied, her eyes sparkling with mischief.“I have the money, so that makes sense,” he said, and they both burst into laughter together.Their shared laughter eased the tension for a moment.His face softened with genuine amusement while hers
Elara sat frozen on the edge of the couch, the business card trembling slightly between her fingers.She stared at the elegant black lettering for what felt like an eternity. Rage boiled deep in her chest, hot and suffocating.This same man who nearly kissed her is chasing best friend, now?! Her j
Elara stood frozen in the pouring rain, her soaked clothes clinging to her skin like a second, icy layer.Her heart hammered painfully in her chest as confusion and heartbreak swirled inside her like a violent storm.The cold rain mixed with the hot tears streaming down her face, but she barely fel
Elara stood trembling in the grand living room of Orella’s mansion, the weight of the evening pressing down on her like a heavy stone.Her cheeks still burned from the slap she had given Alpha Kael, and her mind replayed the dangerous tension between them.She couldn’t shake the fear that she had j
Elara’s body was on fire. Her pulse raced wildly, her skin felt hot all over, and a strange flutter settled deep in her stomach. Alpha Kael’s reaction was much more intense.This woman standing right here was triggering every instinct he had.He had just found his true mate outside with Jasmine, y
