Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Beta: Once Rejected, Now Desired: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

Elora's POVThe council was bustling when I walked in, wearing a cream-colored blazer over a white turtle neck and pants that matched my blazer.A council guard helped me carry a few documents to my seat and the front of the row to the left. Going over my files once more, I cleared my throat and began.“Ladies and gentlemen of the council, we established the last time that this councilor was suspected of being in a fraternity with sorcerers, but we were not able to prove it due to a lack of sufficient evidence.”I paused and turned to Elder Rhys, who sat at the elevated platform in the room, two elders sitting beside him on either side.“We know the danger of letting sorcery prevail,” I continued.“It will keep eating into the souls of the users until the entire pack is consumed with sorcery itself.” I turned from the elder, and my eyes landed on Zeke. “Unless we put a stop to it and convict its users.”I looked away, ignoring Zac,k who adjusted his tie and leaned back, like he came

Elora's POV“You can’t be serious,” I blinked, looking around me. Darius laughed again. “Hello, mage? Don’t you even know the difference between teleportation and an illusion…or wait, you wouldn’t know if you’re yet to master your magic.”This could either mean one thing. If this weren’t an illusion, then this would be the work of my magic flaring.It has teleported us from the council, where magic could harm innocent people to a safe place. But am I really safe here?“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said in a low growl. He started pacing slowly back and forth. “I’ve been studying you for years, Elora. At first, I didn’t know it was you. When I recognized it, it was too late. Listen, Elora, you’re destined for great feats. Let me lead you there?”“Can you speak English, Darius?” “It’s simple,” he continued. “The witches are getting crafty, and we can’t hold them back much longer. Their power runs and blooms from the earth, and their desire to effect sincere change, and w

Elora's POVI stared at the dead body of Darius, slashed in half, the entire action that just happened still unreal to me. Kael had mentioned that I need training to power my swing, but I’d killed Darius with one powerful swing of the sword. My eyes darted in horror from him to my bloody clothes, then back at him. I staggered back, turning around and leaving the ancient warrior grounds.When I staggered out into the road, still weak and reeling from the fight, I knew I couldn’t walk home like this. Someone could see me, and what happened at the council today, I should probably keep a low profile. Walking around with bloody stained clothes didn’t look like a way to keep a low profile.I followed my right when I noticed a parked car. My heart thumped in my chest at what I was about to do. “It’s just for this night,” I muttered to myself. “I’ll send it to a place where he’ll find it when I’m done.”When I got to the car, I glanced around again. Forward, behind, left, right. The co

Elora's POVI flipped my eyes open to take in the ray of light streaming through the corners of the curtain into the bedroom. My limbs felt numb and my body felt weak. This was one out of the very few nights when I had the longest sleep, but it didn’t look like it contributed to anything. It was like I completely wasted my time sleeping. But there was work to do. I didn’t return to my place last night because of the situation at the trial. I had to sleepover at the alpha house. And it was perfect. It was a good escape from sleeping under the same roof with a dealer of sorcery that we were yet to prove yet. Getting ready for the day was a quick one. I expected my coming back to the Alpha house to happen fast, so I didn’t leave the house with everything.I left a few clothes back at the house and today, I was glad I did. I shrugged into a long dress and wrapped my face with a matching mitpachat. I ran into Xavier in the hallway. From his expression, action and stance, I knew he wa

Elora's POVXavier gave me some details about the Darius nuclear family, and I realized in an instant that Darius had quite a quiet nuclear family. The people coming after me—or as we had agreed, were going to look for a cause to break me were his extended family. They were the ones I needed to worry about. I thought that I should see the nuclear family and console them before I planned my move on the extended family. That afternoon, I was taking a walk down the path that led to the garage. From the direction Xavier gave me, it seemed like a pretty long drive, and I could use Lloyd’s car to get there.“So, here’s what I think,” I said as we walked into the fairly dark garage. “I’m going to try talk to the nuclear family, and then use them to convince the extended family.”“And you think it’s going to work?” He asked me as I took in some of the SUVs in the garage, and a few small cars.“Does Lloyd ever get to ride these things?” I crossed another SUV and flipped a nearby switch on.
