Alvize: I watched as Elena walked out of the hall toward me, her eyes as hard as stone, making me frown in confusion. Her heart raced against her chest, and I could tell that she was not only annoyed but she seemed broken, and that was not something that I was used to about her, especially since I knew that despite all the pain that she could be in, she was one to always mask her expression. Her revealing her pain was something that she was against, and I somewhat understood her reason, the last thing that she needed was for someone to hold her pain against her. I wrapped an arm around her waist in an attempt to get her to smile, wanting to lean in to kiss her, but she didn’t react. “Elena?” “Alvize, please get me out of this place before I start saying or doing things that I know I am going to regret.” She said, looking me dead in the eye. I frowned in confusion at her response but nodded and guided her toward the car. Her heart raced against her ribcage, and I didn’t need to
Elena: I knew that my eyes were harder than they have ever been as I walked out of the car, feeling the heavy weight of the whole world settling on my chest as my heart burned with pain and anger. Alvize’s response was not one that I expected, especially when I thought that it was something that he wanted. How fucking naïve of me to believe that he was being honest? The fucking Pakhan… I didn’t even want to enter the hotel, and that was something that Alvize knew. “Elena, stop.” Alvize said, wrapping his arms around my waist, stopping me from taking a step forward. I glared at the man and pushed him back, taking him off guard, and I could tell that his mates who just stopped their car frowned at what they just saw. “Elena, just give me a minute to listen…” “Do not touch me,” I said, glaring daggers at him. I didn’t even care that people were looking at us or that he was growing more frustrated. Most just walked by, choosing to ignore us, while others slowed their paces to see whe
Alvize:It took everything in me not to approach Killian from behind to kill the fucking bastard for talking to my mate. The man was taking advantage of a point that he saw as weak in her, and that wasn’t something that I was going to drop; however, I also needed to keep in mind that he was standing very close to her and could easily harm her. That wasn’t something that I wanted to risk.The fact that she left as angry as she was made my chest ache, but to find Killian speaking to her, now that was something that I didn’t want to deal with. The fucking bastard was going to have to pay for, and it wouldn’t be something that I allowed, but for now, I needed to keep myself calm for the next few seconds. I took a deep breath, and waited, watching as Elena distracted him, kept him talking. I knew that she saw me the second she froze for a second before turning her attention to the man completely. The way she stopped herself from glancing behind him told me that she was trying her best to
Elena:The fact that I understood that the Lycan was trying to hit two birds with one stick told me that he was not aiming for anything good. But then again, I should have expected it the second he approached me to try and talk to me. I was just too foolish to listen to all common sense. The man knew that he was playing with fire, and for that, I knew that he was testing Alvize’s patience. However, what he was gaining out of it, I didn’t know. And at this point, I didn’t want to care to find out. The last thing that we needed was trouble, and having heard enough of the Lycan, I knew that his ONE aim was trouble, and that was something that I didn’t want to give him. If anything, I was going to do my best to fight against it.“You are trying to play a dangerous game, little Luna, that is something that I must point out to you.” He said, and I smiled, shaking my head at him. I was yet to start with the dangerous game, and the man was already getting worried. And knowing my own strength
Alvize: We entered the house to find Ezra, who was by the door, having caught our scent the second we entered the building and was waiting for our arrival. The fact that he was here and the two of us have argued was not something that I liked, especially since I knew that it would stir questions that I didn’t want to deal with answering. “What took the two of you this long?” Ezra asked, raising an eyebrow at me. Elena stood a step away from me, making sure to maintain a small distance despite the two of us talking earlier, but I knew not to pressure her right now. What happened with Killian would have had its tow on her, and I was going to respect the fact that she would need a little time to process everything that went on. “We got a little caught up with a few things.” I said, looking at Elena. I knew that my men wouldn’t be talking about what they saw. Regardless of Ezra being my brother, the two of us knew that we didn’t trust one another to the extent of telling each other e
Elena:I sat on the edge of the bed as I got lost in my thoughts.The door was knocked, making me frown as I sat up, and knowing that it wasn’t Alvize, I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.I got up from the bed, and opened the door to see Lia standing. She held a tray for me, and my heart dropped. The woman was in OUR place, and instead of me being the one to get her something to eat or drink, she was doing so for me.“Lia…” “When I am upset, I like to drink tea. So, I figured that I would get you something to drink,” she said, entering the room, not bothering to wait for me to reject the cup of tea. She took it to the coffee table that was in front of the couch, I sighed and walked toward her. She handed me a cup, and I looked down at it and she took her own cup, curling up on the couch. “I am sorry, I should have been more polite at least…”“Alvize is a brother to me, and not a stranger. So, you don’t need to worry about that.” She said, stopping me. The fact that she was silent
Alvize: “You didn’t need to follow me, Ezra.” I said, looking at my brother over my shoulder. I was sitting at the bar, drinking a cup of scotch, knowing that it wouldn’t take him too long before he made his appearance. It was something that I expected, I had to be honest here, I just didn’t want it to happen. “I know, but I followed you because I figured that you might need to talk to someone. You know, I am still your brother.” He said, and I shrugged before putting my glass down. I got up from my chair and went to walk past him. I already paid for my drinks before ordering them anyway, and the change would be left as a tip for the bartender. “Alvize…” “You and I both know that it would take a lot more than a year for us to be really brothers, Ezra.” I said, stopping him. It was times like this when I hated that he liked playing the brother card. The two of us were nowhere near being brothers just yet, and that was something that he refused to see. It was the same thing with
Elena:I sat on one of the benches, taking a deep breath as I tried calming myself down, wanting to calm my racing heartbeat and my shaking hands. The anger that I felt was one that I never expected to actually have to deal with. Mostly because I didn’t know how to deal with it to begin with. The day has been messed up to begin with, and now Lia simply added salt to the wound, and I didn’t know how to handle it. I knew that I was being followed by Viktor, but I didn’t have the energy to turn and face the man. And mostly, I believed that it might have been Alvize who asked him to follow me in the first place. My mate wouldn’t want me to be alone in such a situation, that was something that I knew, and if not Viktor, Artur or Nikolay would have followed me here anyway. Alvize’s scent hit my nostrils as I heard a car pulling up behind me. He got out and looking down at his shadow, I saw him nodding at Viktor before he approached me.He didn’t say a word for a few seconds, and instead,
