[Elara's POV]
"Kill her! She has rejected our Alpha!" I couldn't tell if I was trapped in a dream again. What happened? Did I possibly die? I had faced this nightmare countless times, finding it hard even for a bit to forget what had happened, what led me here. Sometimes I wonder just when I would really be able to escape from my past trauma. If I ran, tried to escape from this town, would I be able to forget him, Rendell?
It only seemed like a lie I had been telling myself all this while.
I watched him standing right in front of me, mist covering the whole area as a grin made its way to his lips.
"Think you can run away from me that easily?" I heard those whispers from him. "I will find you, Elara. Find you and make you mine again. I am still your mate..."
I crumbled as he uttered those words—"mate." He still thought he could call it that.
If only I could break the bond so easily. He was someone cruel in the end, someone who wouldn't want me getting off the hook so easily.
