Adrian and Gabriel, the rival Alphas, laughed as they caught Elara and Declan at the entrance gate, trying to escape.
Guards tie them up and take them back inside into separate rooms. I need to teach them a lesson.
Declan, with anger in his eyes, looked straight into Adrian's eyes and said to him, "You are not my brother, and you will never be."
"I hate you," Declan said. I hate you too, Adrian replied with anger in his eyes. Adrian asked his men to torture Declan mercilessly.
Declan and Elara were knocked out and taken to separate rooms in the house.
Gabriel stood in awe at the measure of hatred Adrian had for his brother, realizing that the kidnapping plan they executed was more personal for Adrian than he thought
He only wanted Elara as his fated mate, but Adrian had other plans.
Elara woke up in pain from a restless slumber in the middle of the night and found herself in a room.
